The USAAF is also intending to build a B-29 factory at Taichung and is positively making all preparations, it is said."A contract has been let to a Formosan firm to enlarge and repair an airfield and a factory near Taichung. It is, of course, assumed locally that in as much as China cannot produce airplanes, the United States government is behind the contract. Two Taichung persons called at the Consulate December 28 to confirm this, in order to plan "business" in connection with the expected influx of Americans. en https://archive.org/details/NewtonGraphicJan_1952/page/n50/ January 31, 1952 West Newton Missioner In Formosa w:The Newton Graphic 80 Newton, Mass. 1 https://archive.org/details/NewtonGraphicJan_1952/page/n50/ On Formosa the Maryknoll Fathers have charge of the Prefecture of Taichung, ocatedlocated in the central part of the island.

The man, who returned to Taiwan last week from mainland China, left his home seven times when he was supposed to be in isolation, according to officials in the city of Taichung, where he lives. Taiwan has some of the strictest quarantine rules in the world, a critical part of its success in fighting the virus, and the government routinely punishes and shames people found to be violating regulations. “This misbehavior was serious and must be punished heavily,” Lu Shiow-yen, the mayor of Taichung, said at a news conference this week. en Dec. 27, 2021 Yimou Lee; Norihiko Shirouzu; David Lague Taiwan chip industry emerges as battlefront in U.S.-China showdown https://web.archive.org/web/20211227122057/https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/taiwan-china-chips/ 27 December 2021 w:Reuters The industry’s vulnerability was on display in July last year, when Taiwan mobilized thousands of troops to fight off a simulated Chinese attack on the west coast industrial city of Taichung, home to TSMC’s Gigafab 15, one of the foundries that make cutting-edge chips.[...]In the counter-invasion exercise, “enemy” paratroopers dropped on Ching Chuan Kang air base and captured the control tower, just nine minutes’ drive from Gigafab 15. Off the coast, a virtual Chinese invasion flotilla steamed towards the city’s beaches. Fighting enveloped Taichung as Taiwanese troops and tanks counterattacked to regain control of the air base; commanders called in airstrikes, missiles and artillery, using live ammunition to pound the “invasion fleet.” The invasion was repulsed.
