Staff writer, with CNA
The Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) on Friday urged the government to protect Taiwan’s frontline healthcare staff by trading locally produced semiconductor chips for COVID-19 vaccines from other countries.
“KMT legislators are deeply concerned about the [cluster of infections] at Taoyuan General Hospital and have expressed this to the caucus,” KMT caucus whip Lin Wei-chou (林為洲) said.
The first case linked to the Ministry of Health and Welfare’s hospital was confirmed on Jan. 12.

Taipei, Jan. 30 (CNA) The local manufacturing sector returned to stable growth in December with an index gauging the health of the sector flashing a green light, ending four months of sluggishness, according to the Taiwan Institute of Economic Research (TIER).
TIER, one of the leading think tanks in Taiwan, said despite the escalation of COVID-19 worldwide, many export-oriented tech exporters in Taiwan continue to receive large orders from overseas at a time when the pandemic raised demand for devices in the booming stay-at-home economy.
In addition, TIER said, the manufacturing sector also received a boost from a buying spree by clients keen to build up their inventories to meet strong demand ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday, which falls in early February.
