Reported 8 months ago

President Tsai Ing-wen announced the establishment of the 'National Climate Change Response Committee', 'Whole Society Defense Resilience Committee', and 'Healthy Taiwan Promotion Committee' before her first month in office. The creation of these committees triggered debates over discussions on the controversial fourth LNG terminal and the extension of nuclear power plants. While Tsai emphasized the importance of these committees for better communication and solution findings, opposition parties criticized her for expanding presidential power into the administrative system and described the move as 'stacking up beds'. Some netizens also expressed skepticism and cynicism towards the new committees, questioning their necessity and effectiveness.
