Focus Taiwan

I hope the courageous reporters and journalists keep doing a great job of bringing democracy and freedom to the great country of Taiwan, so that all Taiwanese citizens live well-informed lives. And keep democracy alive and well for future generations of Taiwanese people in the world. We in the United States of America hope that Taiwan becomes a beacon of democracy and stands alongside Japan to keep freedom and democracy along with the progressive freedom of speech ideals and development without oppression coercion or retaliation.

I lived in Taiwan for 6 years (through the COVID 19 pandemic). Now that I’m back in the USA and it’s 2025 this is my to go news. It’s drama free, factual, and dare I say gives me hope that peace and kindness still exist. I also think if any country is going to know about another pandemic, it will be Taiwan and likely they will be first (as they showed with COVID). I don’t trust the USA to inform us of any health related issues with Trump and RFK “leading”. Taiwan is a democratic society that is science and data focused, a true role model for other counties. 🇹🇼

I started using this app because a reporter who covers Taiwan and China news for a major publication said that the best app for English information was FocusTaiwan. It has kept me abreast of all the latest COVID-19 news on the island plus, typhoon reports. Update:I still feel that Focus Taiwan is an excellent source for news. Except my app has a bug in it. I just reset everything on my iPhone but unfortunately, I still can’t read an article in peace because videos keep coming on which overtake the screen. Please fix this problem! By the way, when I reset the phone, I deleted the app and downloaded a new app hoping this problem would be fixed. Unfortunately, it still persists. No other app causes me this problem.
