Taiwan will have its next presidential election in January 2024. As the leading candidate, Taiwan’s current Vice President, Lai Ching-te, is particularly interested in making collaborations with U.S. corporations in the space industry.
Chung Chia-pin, a Taiwan’s congressional member who came to the Northern California Taiwanese community to raise support for Mr. Lai’s campaign, told The Epoch Times that he wanted to reach out to raise awareness about Taiwan’s high interest in building its own space industry. He said that Mr. Lai, if elected in 2024, would make building Taiwan’s own space program one of the top priorities in his economic policies.
