Taiwan recently launched its first government-funded English news and media streaming platform, intended to broaden the self-ruled island's international voice.
At the launch ceremony, President Tsai Ing-wen said the purpose of Taiwan+ was to display the island's democracy and "show the world our diversity, our achievements and our aspiration to contribute to the international community."
Vice President William Lai added to Tsai's remarks by saying that the platform would help advance a major government effort to improve English proficiency among the Taiwanese people.
