My column: Taiwan’s opposition KMT says it backs domestic drone-making as a deterrent but its budget manoeuvres have delayed production. China Twitter: you warmonger! disrespecting KMT’s bond with voters who don’t want drones or to re-arm. KMT: we want drones but with our budget
BREAKING: Taiwan’s largest telecom company is reportedly seeking an exclusive Starlink partnership.
• Chunghwa Telecom is exploring an exclusive agency arrangement or joint venture with SpaceX
• The move follows Taiwan’s committee approval of amendments that could ease foreign ownership restrictions for satellite operators
• Chunghwa wants to add Starlink to its multi-layer communications network, strengthening backup connectivity during submarine cable disruptions or emergencies
• Local gateways, data storage, cybersecurity and national security protections would remain key requirements, per DigiTimes.
