Taiwan Outlines Strategy to Become Top Asian UAV Exporter
What happened
Vice President Hsiao Bi-khim detailed the government's uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) development strategy at the Global UAV Academy (GUAVA) in Taipei. She noted that Taiwan's drone exports in the first half of this year already exceeded the total from last year. To become the top Asian exporter, the government must establish three pillars, beginning with forging fully non-Chinese supply chains.
