Taiwan: Criticism on the new version of the Presidential Office website

Categories: East Asia, Taiwan (ROC), Governance, Ideas, Technology

Tai compares the website of the White House and the new version of the Taiwanese Presidential Office website that costs 7,000,000 TWD (217060 USD) to rebuild [1](zht). Although most criticism online are about the rationality of the cost and the stupid “mobile version [2]“(amended after criticism), Tai points out the major problem of the new website is its irrelevancy since it does not provide enough information about policy directions on major national issues and cannot make people feel engaged.
