Several legislators, regardless of party affiliation, have proposed that Taiwan Plus, established four years ago, has only achieved around 160,000 app downloads, which falls significantly short of the projected 220,000 downloads for 2023. The platform’s audience primarily comes from Asia and the Americas, while promotional efforts in Europe and other regions remain insufficient. Taiwan Plus has also sparked controversy over its content, such as reporting former U.S. President Donald Trump as a “convicted felon” and focusing on Ko Wen-je in domestic anti-corruption features without proportionally reporting on corruption cases involving members of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), raising concerns about its lack of objectivity and neutrality.
