For more:

China's #Taiwan region is facing the worst #water #crisis in 56 years. The historic drought is putting pressure on crucial semiconductor manufacturing at a time when global companies are clamoring for chips, and the local authorities are taking criticism for their drought alleviation approach. How serious is it? Will it pose a threat to the global supply of semiconductors? And what are the political ramifications?

It wasn't the DPP that did a good job handling Covid, it was the people of Taiwan that did a good job. Give credit where credit is due.

Don't worry Taiwan, Uncle Sam will look after you, they've got your best interests at heart.

Taiwan should ask the US ship the water from the US, coz the US cares so much of spending on the US junk.

[maxsweetman]

Seems Taiwan would rather buy American military junk than provide water, my country Australia does exactly the same, god bless America

Those wastage water in Japan better supply for taiwanese rather than throw out in the pacific sea as japan is their good brother in other side may help taiwan for shortage of water and the other side may help their brother japan for settle down the water 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Slum all over the cities.

This water crisis is worst than a nightmare as water is indeed indispensable. I cannot imagine that people have to take a bus just to take a shower. Oh dear. What a calamity!

USA should take advantage of this situation and supply Taiwan with water: $50 per barrel delivered by LNG Tankers!
Then... build a Pipeline from Alaska to Taiwan label it "Freedom Water" $5 per litter and milk Taiwan dry!

This water problem is the demise of Tsai and her party. Looking forward to a quick demise.

As a Chinese, I feel so sorry and pathetic with our compatriots living in Taiwan province
Hope the rainy seasons will arrive soon so they can enjoy fresh water resources🙏

Very nice interview and discussion. The local government of Taiwan region has failed so many things in all fronts. Its incompetence exacerbated by short-sightedness results in the disastrous plight in Taiwan. The saddest thing is the local government has zero sense of guilt and shame when confronted with criticism from the people of Taiwan. It sets the perfect example of the worst governance of a ruling party.

They don't have water and think they have a chance against china😂

Japan now is offering free homemade nuclear energy drink to all over the world, what a generous act to all species on earth, since WWII.

officials have been going to temples to pray for rain；rather than seeking professional help

Japan has a lot of 'treated radioactive water' Taiwan, its little sister, can buy from. "Support Japan's treated radioactive water!!!", the Taiwanese should shout out loud.

[victorong]

Instead of buying weapons, Taiwan should be using money for infrastructure . Example like Underground reservoirs, roads, more reservoirs., upgrade buildings with is rundown, airports.

Farmers in Mexico protested giving water to the US in fear of not having enough for themselves

[nitecatcool]

Great timing !!! Your half brother Japan happen to have abundant surplus of bio organic enriched magic water that may enlighten your thoughts of separation from your motherland ??? Good Luck Tsai Ind-Wen !!!

America to Taiwan : You don't need infrastructure you need more military equipment, buy now .
