Wednesday, 11 July 2018 06:42 Taipei Times

Two elementary-school teachers yesterday defended their decision to take students on a field trip to the Deng Nan-jung Liberty Museum (鄭南榕自由紀念館) last month after a New Taipei City councilor last week reported them to the city’s Department of Education for “engaging in political activity.”

Lujian Elementary School teachers Weng Li-shu (翁麗淑) and Liu Fang-chun (劉芳君) on June 28 took their two classes to the museum to see a photography exhibition on the 228 Massacre.

Tuesday, 10 July 2018 06:11 Taipei Times

The passage of two US guided missile destroyers through the Taiwan Strait on Saturday was not an isolated incident, but a signal of the expansion of the US’ military presence in the region, Institute for National Policy Research executive director Kuo Yu-jen (郭育仁) said yesterday.

US forces in Japan and Guam are to expand their reach to the south and west respectively, he said, adding that the US military is likely to normalize naval drills around Taiwan as a check on China.

The Ministry of National Defense plans to increase the production of anti-ship missiles from this year to 2025 to bolster the nation’s maritime defenses, an official said yesterday.

The extended-range variant of the Hsiung Feng III anti-ship missile is entering mass production this year, while the production volume of the Hsiung Feng II and the base model of the Hsiung Feng III is to be ramped up, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

The estimated cost for the missiles this year is NT$15.5 billion (US$497.83 million), rising to NT$19.8 billion next year before peaking at NT$22 billion in 2025, they said.
