Taiwan yesterday downed a civilian drone after weeks of complaints about incursions by uncrewed aerial vehicles from China, a sign Taipei is pushing back against Beijing’s efforts to encroach on its territory.

Taiwanese troops shot the drone down near Kinmen’s Shi Islet (獅嶼) at about noon after attempts to repel it failed, a statement from the garrison on the Taipei-held outpost just off China said.

The Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) has so many ill-gotten assets that even it has no idea how much its assets are worth and the only certainty is that those assets are the root of all evil in Taiwanese politics because of the unfair competition that came with them, analysts said at a forum yesterday.

“In short, the KMT’s party assets are the root of all evil in Taiwan because of the unfair advantage they created. And despite the KMT having pledged to deal with the issue, the pledge was only an empty promise,” Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Legislator Lee Chun-yi (李俊俋) said.
