Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : Since the election of President Tsai Ing-wen in 2016, however, foreign coverage has begun to change thanks in part to stories that have global resonance - from being the first country in Asia to legalise same sex marriage to Taipei's successful COVID-19 response.
52% : While government interference is rare these days, media experts say widespread sensationalism and misinformation campaigns linked to Beijing have eroded the quality of Taiwanese journalism.
50% : The platform currently has an independent board of commissioners to oversee its work, but Huang says that TaiwanPlus should eventually be housed under an organisation like the Taiwan Public Television Service Foundation, whose funding is less tied to government oversight.
