The legislature is expected to adopt a resolution to pre-empt possible political fallout against the upcoming visit of the Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) Minister Wang Yu-chi (王郁琦) to China, based on the consensus reached at a cross-party negotiation meeting yesterday.
At a plenary session on Tuesday next week, the last day of the current session, the Taiwan Solidarity Union (TSU) and the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) are set to jointly table a resolution, the contents of which were agreed to by the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT).
TSU Legislator Hsu Chung-hsin (許忠信) said that representatives of all three parties signed the proposal, while MAC Deputy Minister Chang Hsien-yao (張顯耀), who was present at the meeting, also considered the draft acceptable.
If the proposal is adopted, Wang will be held responsible should he hurt the nation’s sovereignty after he returns from his meeting with China’s Taiwan Affairs Office Director Zhang Zhijun (張志軍).
Wang shall not sign any document or issue any joint statement of any kind or accept any Chinese claims that promote ideas such as the “one China framework” or “anti-Taiwan independence,” the TSU proposal said.
The DPP said in the proposal that Wang should not sign any document with China that involved political ideas such as “one China,” “one China framework,” “one China, two areas,” “military mutual-trust mechanism,” “peace agreement,” or “interim political relationships” that could pave the way for political negotiations.
Taiwan is projected to lose a working-age population of about 6.67 million people in two waves of retirement in the coming years, as the nation confronts accelerating demographic decline and a shortage of younger workers to take their place, the Ministry of the Interior said. Taiwan experienced its largest baby boom between 1958 and 1966, when the population grew by 3.78 million, followed by a second surge of 2.89 million between 1976 and 1982, ministry data showed. In 2023, the first of those baby boom generations — those born in the late 1950s and early 1960s — began to enter retirement, triggering
ECONOMIC BOOST: Should the more than 23 million people eligible for the NT$10,000 handouts spend them the same way as in 2023, GDP could rise 0.5 percent, an official said Universal cash handouts of NT$10,000 (US$330) are to be disbursed late next month at the earliest — including to permanent residents and foreign residents married to Taiwanese — pending legislative approval, the Ministry of Finance said yesterday. The Executive Yuan yesterday approved the Special Act for Strengthening Economic, Social and National Security Resilience in Response to International Circumstances (因應國際情勢強化經濟社會及民生國安韌性特別條例). The NT$550 billion special budget includes NT$236 billion for the cash handouts, plus an additional NT$20 billion set aside as reserve funds, expected to be used to support industries. Handouts might begin one month after the bill is promulgated and would be completed within
NO CHANGE: The TRA makes clear that the US does not consider the status of Taiwan to have been determined by WWII-era documents, a former AIT deputy director said The American Institute in Taiwan’s (AIT) comments that World War-II era documents do not determine Taiwan’s political status accurately conveyed the US’ stance, the US Department of State said. An AIT spokesperson on Saturday said that a Chinese official mischaracterized World War II-era documents as stating that Taiwan was ceded to the China. The remarks from the US’ de facto embassy in Taiwan drew criticism from the Ma Ying-jeou Foundation, whose director said the comments put Taiwan in danger. The Chinese-language United Daily News yesterday reported that a US State Department spokesperson confirmed the AIT’s position. They added that the US would continue to
IMPORTANT BACKER: China seeks to expel US influence from the Indo-Pacific region and supplant Washington as the global leader, MAC Minister Chiu Chui-cheng said China is preparing for war to seize Taiwan, Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) Minister Chiu Chui-cheng (邱垂正) said in Washington on Friday, warning that Taiwan’s fall would trigger a regional “domino effect” endangering US security. In a speech titled “Maintaining the Peaceful and Stable Status Quo Across the Taiwan Strait is in Line with the Shared Interests of Taiwan and the United States,” Chiu said Taiwan’s strategic importance is “closely tied” to US interests. Geopolitically, Taiwan sits in a “core position” in the first island chain — an arc stretching from Japan, through Taiwan and the Philippines, to Borneo, which is shared by
