This August, voters in Taiwan will go back to the polls to vote in four hotly contended and controversial referendums that will have far-reaching consequences for Taiwanese society.
The upcoming polls also attest to the complexity and shifting dynamics of Taiwan’s party politics: across the board, the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and opposition Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) have traded positions on major issues, embracing policies they once campaigned against in order to defy their political rivals.
With positions staked out along partisan lines, the outcomes will doubtless be seen as de facto referendums on the two main parties themselves, especially in the lead-up to next year’s midterm elections.

CHANGING TRENDS: A world report showed that in 2019, non-hydro renewables surpassed nuclear power in global electricity generation, environmentalists said
By Lee I-chia / Staff reporter
Premier Su Tseng-chang (蘇貞昌) yesterday said that reviving the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant project would be impossible, adding that the government has always believed that the power plant should not be started.
Su made the remarks in response to questions by Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Legislator Lu Yu-ling (呂玉玲) about a campaign by environmentalists to hold a referendum on a government plan to build a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal off the coast of Datan Borough (大潭) in Taoyuan’s Guanyin District (觀音) on the grounds that it would damage the algal reefs there.
Achieving a nuclear-free homeland
By Shih Shin-Min 施信民
This year is the 10th anniversary of Japan’s Great Tohoku Earthquake and the ensuing Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant disaster. It is also a crucial year for Taiwan, one that could see the nation bidding farewell to nuclear power and marching in the direction of a “nuclear-free homeland.” A national referendum is to take place on Aug. 28 to decide the future of the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant in New Taipei City’s Gongliao District (貢寮).
On March 11, 2011, an earthquake and tsunami in northeastern Japan led to the failure of four reactor cores and gas explosions at the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant, causing a large amount of radioactive material to leak. The Japanese government ordered the emergency evacuation of about 140,000 residents living within a 20km radius.
