Taiwanese officials now predict 4.45% growth for 2025, thanks to surging demand for AI hardware -- and despite steep U.S. tariffs on most goods. Taiwan People's Party Chair Huang Kuo-chang tries rallying support for a 'yes' vote on a referendum to recommission the country's last nuclear power plant. And an upcoming change to Taiwan's cross-strait law will tighten requirements for Chinese spouses seeking to settle in Taiwan. Plus:
- Manila is renewing its demands that Beijing pay damages incurred in a clash in the South China Sea last year.
- Taiwan just unveiled the latest addition to its self-made weapon systems ahead of a formal special budget for weapons procurement.
-TaiwanPlus visits a Taiwanese WWII veteran who is preserving the memory of the 200,000 Taiwanese who served in Japan’s imperial military, including 30,000 who died in the war.
Correction: The report “Pro and Anti-Nuclear Groups Rally Ahead of Referendum” in this show states that referendum results in Taiwan are non-binding. In fact, they are legally binding.
