The credibility of state-owned Taiwan Power Co (Taipower, 台電) took another hit after allegations of an allegedly fraudulent stress test report and a corruption probe involving a transformer procurement deal, Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) lawmakers said yesterday.

Citing media reports and remarks from Green Consumers Foundation chairman Jay Fang (方儉), DPP Legislator Chen Ou-po (陳歐珀) told a press conference that Taipower “has been lying all the way about its performance and nuclear safety.”

Chinese drones pose threat: experts

Monday, 06 May 2013 09:21 Taipei Times

With a direct eye on Taiwan, the Chinese military may be moving into the large-scale deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones.

The Associated Press reported over the last few days that Chinese aerospace firms had developed dozens of drones, that its technology was maturing rapidly and that they were “on the cusp” of widespread use for surveillance and combat strikes.

“Taiwan should be concerned about China’s development of large numbers of sophisticated military UAVs,” Ian Easton, a research fellow at The Project 2049 Institute, told the Taipei Times.

The government yesterday thanked the French National Assembly for adopting a resolution on Monday in support of Taiwan’s international participation, following a similar resolution passed by the French Senate in May.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs praised the resolution’s passage as “historic” and as demonstrating the concrete support of both chambers of the French parliament for Taiwan’s participation in international affairs.
