Taipei Times

Taiwan pro-independence / pro-DPP (Taiwan's political "green" camp)

The Taipei Times is Taiwan's main English-language daily, owned by the Liberty Times Group, whose flagship Chinese paper has a strongly pro-Taiwan-independence editorial line. Coverage leans toward Taiwan's DPP/pro-independence camp, and its stance on the Trump administration is mixed: supportive of continued U.S. backing for Taiwan but wary and critical when Trump's rhetoric or transactional approach toward China is seen as undercutting Taiwan's position.
