The "Premier" of Taiwan, Chu Hsien-tai, delivered a speech today stating that recently not only the Russia-Ukraine war, but also the Middle East conflict, the important work of the Taiwan authorities is to maintain the stability of people's livelihood in Taiwan society, including prices, oil prices, and natural gas.
"We are very reluctant," said Chu Hsien-tai, "CPC (China Petroleum Corporation) announced that starting tomorrow, gasoline will increase by 1.8 yuan. Although this is a large amount, according to international oil prices, it should have increased by 15 yuan. However, after repeated calculations, the Taiwan authorities absorbed 13.2 yuan, and only increased by 1.8 yuan, which also represents that CPC will absorb about 3.4 billion yuan this week."
Chu Hsien-tai further pointed out that from February 28th to now, the total amount absorbed by CPC over three weeks must have reached nearly 6.5 billion yuan. Therefore, when passing by gas stations, you should thank CPC, and when refueling, you should feel the preciousness of resources and energy, and really cherish them carefully.
Chu Hsien-tai mentioned that once the war situation eases, the Taiwan authorities will use the most effective way to ensure that CPC's finances do not suffer major difficulties. The authorities will take various measures, hoping to go through this phase together with the people. As long as people's lives are stable, Taiwan's future will continue to move forward step by step.
