As one of a number of European parliamentary groups currently visiting Taiwan, a German delegation has said it is "unacceptable" for China to seek to change the cross-Strait status quo by force. Following a series of war games carried out by a U.S. think tank simulating a Chinese invasion of Taiwan, TaiwanPlus speaks to one of the designers of the simulation about the surprising results it produced. And Taiwan has passed a new law aimed at tackling climate change, though green groups feel the new statutes don't go far enough. Also:
- President Tsai Ing-wen has thanked Premier Su Tseng-chang for his work amid reports that Su will stand down in the near future.
- State power utility Taipower posted losses of US$8 billion in 2022 and expects to lose a further US$9 billion this year.
- A McDonald's restaurant in southern Taiwan has been ordered to pay compensation over the death of an employee last year.
