Taipei Times
Taiwan pro-independence, center-left
The Taipei Times is the sole remaining English-language print daily in Taiwan, owned by Liberty Times Group, a commercially funded media company long associated with Taiwan's pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). Its editorials consistently support Taiwan sovereignty and are skeptical of moves by major powers — including the United States — that could weaken Taiwan's security. Under Trump's second term, its coverage has been wary and critical, emphasizing uncertainty about U.S. defense commitments and warning against Taiwan being traded away in U.S.-China deals.
