Taipei: A recent survey conducted by United Daily News reveals that 53% of people in Taiwan are dissatisfied with President Lai’s performance.

According to Focus Taiwan, this survey underscores a growing concern among the Taiwanese public about the current administration’s policies and effectiveness.

President Lai, who has been in office since 2020, has faced numerous challenges, including economic pressures and maintaining Taiwan’s international relations. The survey results indicate a significant portion of the population is seeking changes or improvements in these areas.

The survey also comes at a time when Taiwan is navigating a nuclear-free energy policy, as reported by China Times. The shift has led to tight electricity supplies, adding another layer of complexity to President Lai’s leadership challenges.

Additionally, Taiwan’s economic forecast remains optimistic, with Economic Daily News predicting a continued uptrend for the Taiex index this week. Meanwhile, industry support is evident as Commercial Times reports Jensen Huang’s backing of TSMC’s decision to raise chip prices.

In international relations, Liberty Times highlights Taiwan’s envoy attending Pope Leo XIV’s inauguration mass, signaling hopes for a potential papal visit to Taiwan. Amid these developments, Taipei Times suggests that China should review its Taiwan policy, a call supported by President Lai’s recent statements.
