Chen Yi-min’s view: From “Nuclear-Free by 2025” to an indefinite delay—a crisis of credibility
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
Author Chen Yi-min criticized the Democratic Progressive Party government for failing to deliver on its “nuclear-free homeland by 2025” policy, with its renewable energy target delayed by four years. The article accused the government of using installed capacity to mislead the public and questioned the credibility and logic of its energy policy.
Facts
In October 2026, the Ministry of Economic Affairs publicly acknowledged that renewables accounted for only 14%, and that the original 20% target had been postponed to 2029.
On Dec. 2, 2018, Article 95, Paragraph 1 of the Electricity Act, which mandated that all nuclear power plants shut down by 2025, formally expired.
In the Aug. 23, 2025 referendum on restarting Nuclear Plant No. 3, 4,341,432 votes were cast in favor, but the proposal failed to pass because it fell short of the 5 million-vote threshold.
On May 13, 2025, the Legislative Yuan passed amendments to the Nuclear Reactor Facilities Regulation Act in its third reading, extending the maximum validity of renewed nuclear plant operating licenses to 20 years.
Solar photovoltaic power has an average capacity factor of only about 14%–15%; large-scale installations increase nominal installed capacity, not stable electricity generation.

Lin Qing-wen’s view: Applause is warranted for Chiang Wan-an lowering the threshold for public-led urban renewal; private projects could use building age as a criterion.
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an is promoting public-led urban renewal, lowering the approval threshold to 50% and increasing floor area bonuses. Law professor Lin Qing-wen voiced support in an article and suggested that the central government amend the law to allow building age to serve as a flexible threshold for privately led urban renewal, addressing delays in rebuilding old homes.
Facts
Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an announced a public-led urban renewal program, lowering the approval threshold from 75% to 50%.
For urban renewal projects in large blocks with a site area of at least 3,000 square meters, the base floor area ratio will rise from the current 225% to 300%.
Homes more than 30 years old account for about 73.8% of Taipei’s housing, and the average building age has reached 39.62 years.
The current Urban Renewal Act requires approval from more than four-fifths of both the total land area and the total floor area of legal buildings for privately led urban renewal.
The author recommends that privately led urban renewal projects involving buildings at least 30 years old require approval from 3/4 of the floor area and owners, and that projects involving buildings at least 50 years old require 1/2.

North Korean hackers stole US$6.3 billion from 幣安 last week, setting a record for the biggest heist in financial history. The article argues that claims about cryptocurrency’s decentralization and security are unfounded, saying human vulnerabilities at exchanges and the lack of central oversight make it difficult to recover funds. Comparing this with stablecoins’ ability to be frozen, it concludes that traditional fiat currency systems are relatively safer.
Facts
Hackers stole about US$6.3 billion in cryptocurrency from 幣安 last week.
Hackers broke into 幣安 through a laptop belonging to a development and operations engineer.
US$6.3 billion in cash would weigh about 63 metric tons and occupy 71 cubic meters.

Opinion: 16 years after the county-city merger, former Kaohsiung County residents should give Ko Chih-en a chance
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
An electronics industry writer criticized the Democratic Progressive Party’s 16 years in power in Kaohsiung, saying resources had been unfairly distributed and residents of Dashu District were deeply dissatisfied with slow progress on transportation and public construction. The writer urged voters to support Ko Chih-en to change the status quo.
Facts
In October this year, Kaohsiung City Councilor Chiu Chun-hsien proposed that the city government allocate a budget to assess the feasibility of extending the MRT Yellow Line to Jioucyutang Station in Dashu.
The author said Chen Chi-mai’s response, which focused on driving convenience, population and benefits, showed a lack of determination to actively advance the project.
The city government’s Research, Development and Evaluation Commission replied that the only major construction project added in Dashu after the merger was a bridge near Fo Guang Shan crossing Provincial Highway 29.
The author said areas such as the Asia New Bay Area and Zuoying continue to be construction priorities under the leadership of the Democratic Progressive Party.
The author believes that, 16 years after the county-city merger, former Kaohsiung County residents should give Ko Chih-en a chance to put the Democratic Progressive Party’s governance to the test.

Ye Ching-yuan’s view: The premier’s countersignature power is not a veto over bills
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
葉慶元 analyzed the constitutional dispute sparked by the premier’s refusal to countersign eight bills, concluding that the act amounted to a veto power with no basis in the Constitution. After weighing both sides’ arguments at legal seminars, he backed the opposing view and urged those in power to return to the constitutional order.
Facts
Since last December, the premier has refused to countersign a total of eight bills, creating a premier’s veto power over legislation with no basis in the Constitution.
On Oct. 30 and 31, the Fu Jen School of Law and the Chinese Society of Constitutional Law held separate legal seminars on the premier’s power to countersign bills.
Article 72 of the Constitution requires the president to promulgate laws within 10 days of receiving them. The sole exception is when the premier lawfully asks the Legislative Yuan to reconsider a bill.
The premier’s power to countersign is set out in Article 37 of the Constitution and, from a systemic interpretation, is clearly intended to check the president’s power.
The DPP’s regional legislative candidates received 6.036 million votes, exceeding the 5.792 million combined votes for the blue and white parties. But its at-large legislative candidates received only 4.98 million votes, far below the blue and white parties’ combined total of 7.804 million.
During Taiwan’s fourth constitutional amendment in 1997, the Legislative Yuan’s power to approve the premier’s nomination was abolished, while the threshold for the legislature to overturn a reconsideration was lowered from 2/3 to 1/2.
The current single-member-district, two-vote system for legislators was established through a constitutional amendment in 2005. Chen Shui-bian was president at the time, and the DPP was also the largest party in the National Assembly.
Opinion: Why is the New Tide baby in such a hurry to wean?
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
This article examines an incident in which FTV pressed Kaohsiung mayoral candidate 賴瑞隆 during a debate about the “New Tide baby” label, noting that the question has gone beyond blue-green political sparring to become an issue of political trust. The author criticizes 賴瑞隆 for responding only with his record and not explaining specifically how he would distance himself from factional personnel and networks of interest, and urges him to be more transparent to demonstrate his independence.
Facts
The director of the southern Taiwan center of 民視新聞 pressed 賴瑞隆 during a Kaohsiung mayoral televised debate on how he could prove he would not become an agent for the New Tide faction.
The KMT caucus accused 賴瑞隆 of receiving a total of NT$3 million in political donations from 雲豹能源, 永鑫能源 and related executives during the 2020 election.
范織欽, who formerly headed the Indigenous Peoples Affairs Commission under Chen Chu’s city administration, was suspected of soliciting bribes from businesses. Prosecutors sought his detention, but the court released him on NT$1.2 million bail.
賴瑞隆 stressed that he has been in politics for 20 years and secured more than NT$600 billion in construction funding for Kaohsiung.
DPP Kaohsiung City Councilor 陳明澤 was detained in connection with a case involving threats against a green energy company and bribery.
Opinion: The forgotten nurses and the unfinished work of legally enshrining nurse-to-patient ratios for all three shifts
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
A medical and nursing student writes that more than 1602 days have passed since nurse-to-patient ratios for all three shifts were enshrined in law, yet nurses continue to suffer from overwork. The article criticizes the current averaging method and box-ticking inspections, and calls for separate nurse-to-patient ratios for each shift and stronger monitoring to address differences in department needs and loopholes in the system.
Facts
More than 1602 days have passed since nurse-to-patient ratios for all three shifts were enshrined in law.
If nurse-to-patient ratios are calculated as an average, a high ratio on one shift may still appear to meet the standard on paper because other shifts have sufficient staff.
Only setting nurse-to-patient ratios separately for each shift can address the problem of meeting standards on paper while staff are actually overworked.
Internal medicine has more patients who need long-term hospitalization.
Critical care units need more sophisticated equipment to provide care.
Opinion: Can’t six lives lost sound the alarm? The urgent need to review Taiwan’s occupational safety reforms in light of major workplace accidents
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
Two workplace accidents occurred within a short period at 台積電’s Kaohsiung site and a construction site in New Taipei, killing six people. The author examines the urgent need for occupational safety reform in Taiwan, pointing to gaps between regulations and their enforcement and the diffusion of responsibility through subcontracting, and calls for a prevention-first governance system.
Facts
Four workers performing work at height fell to their deaths at 台積電’s P4 construction site in the F22 plant area in Nanzi, Kaohsiung.
Two elevator workers fell into a lift shaft and died after a steel cable on a construction platform snapped at a residential building construction site on Zhongyuan East Road in Xinzhuang District, New Taipei City.
Six lives were lost in quick succession, affecting two different families.
The article notes that Taiwan does have occupational safety regulations, but there may be a gap between what the rules require and their implementation on site.
Construction projects involve owners, general contractors, specialist subcontractors and on-site workers. The division of labor makes it complicated to determine responsibility.
The article recommends moving construction-site safety management upstream to the planning and design stages, and clearly specifying fall-prevention measures and emergency response plans.

In its first post, the Investigation Bureau’s social media editor commented on the sentence in a pending corruption case, prompting concerns from legal circles and raising questions about the boundary of judicial independence.
The Investigation Bureau’s social media editor posted a firearms training video and claimed that frontline raids were routine, drawing a rebuttal from police.
The Investigation Bureau’s social media editor commented, “Anti-communist since 1928,” and was accused of turning historical trauma into a joke.
The Investigation Bureau’s account was reported to have blocked large numbers of commenters before shutting down without warning, making it one of the shortest-lived official social media accounts.
The Coast Guard Administration’s social media editor uses a friendly, humorous tone to connect with the public, showing that government agencies can speak in plain language.

Starting from a haunted house, opening a door to understanding culture: Excerpt from How Haunted Houses Are Born (1)
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
Fantasy and mystery novelist 瀟湘神 wrote the foreword to How Haunted Houses Are Born. By exploring the histories of haunted houses, the book treats them as a gateway to understanding history and culture, and examines the social memory and cultural context behind Taiwan’s haunted-house legends.
Facts
Taiwan’s best-known haunted houses are often not places where someone died. Rather, ownership and other problems make them difficult to maintain, and ghost stories are attached to their dilapidated appearance.
The haunted house in Keelung is said to have originally been the Meiqi Bar, where a bar hostess was abandoned by an American serviceman after he seduced her, prompting her to set the building on fire. But contemporary news reports make no mention of this.
There is even a cafe next to the Minxiong haunted house, where people who make a special trip to see it can eat and take a break.
