Reported about 1 year ago

FTNN News, June 11, 2024, 11:50 AM, Reporter Lu Yifeng/Taipei - Concerns over government energy policies have arisen, particularly following Nvidia CEO Huang Renxun's visit to Taiwan and the country's goal to become an 'AI island.' Ensuring stable power supply is crucial, especially with increased electricity demand in the summer raising worries of blackouts. Despite previously suggesting law amendments for extending the lifespans of nuclear power plants, Economic Minister Guo Zhihui has recently changed his stance. Legislator Zhang Qikai questions whether Guo Zhihui will become another 'Zong Caiyi.' Zhang reflects on Zong Caiyi's brief 48-day tenure as Economic Minister during the Chen administration in 2002, comparing Guo Zhihui's current situation as caught between public and party expectations. Observers will have to see if history repeats itself or if Guo Zhihui will adjust strategically like former Minister Wang Meihua did to become the longest-serving economic minister under the Tsai administration, remaining attentive to developments.
