This is the highest amount for a single project in Taipower's history. Scholars believe that Taipower's announcement of the power grid improvement plan at this time may be an excuse for another big power outage in October.

According to U.S. media reports, Spokesman John Supple of the Department of Defense (DoD) confirmed that the Pentagon will transfer Taiwan affairs, which originally belonged to the East Asia office to the newly established China Affairs office of the DoD. The move drew criticism from members of Congress and former officials, who questioned that the administration of President Joe Biden would send the wrong signal to Beijing that the U.S. identifies its Taiwan policy as part of its China policy. In response to media inquiry, Deputy Spokesman Tsui Ching-lin of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs declined to comment, indicating that the change is an internal organizational matter of the U.S. government.
