Last year, the government decided to improve service for foreign residents of Taiwan, and a yearly NT $ 67 million was budgeted for English TV news as part of the package. The government hopes to close the gap with those other Asian nations, and provide the "basic infrastructure" needed for internationalization.
去年，行政院決定加強「服務在台外籍人士」，每年以 6700 萬的預算製作電視英語新聞就是其中一項具體政策，也希望能儘速追趕與亞洲其他國家的距離，把全球化發展的「基本配備」整建起來。
