AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Taiwan Defense Budget: Taiwan’s Cabinet proposed a record US$35.2B defense budget for 2027, with the military up about 23%, as lawmakers keep debating how to fund drones and unmanned boats. Air Power Update: The first two F-16V Block 70 jets are reported to have departed Lockheed’s South Carolina plant and are expected to arrive in Taiwan soon, after years of delays. Tech & Chips: TSMC says it has completed verification of its 1.6-nm (A16) chip and targets Q4 mass production, while Samsung raised advanced foundry prices by up to 15% as AI demand tightens capacity. Cross-Strait Security: China’s PLA reportedly ran a drill using drones to drop gold bars and cash, framed as “wartime financial support” for a Taiwan scenario. Local Transit: Taipei’s MRT Red Line extension between Guangci/Fengtian Temple and Xiangshan will be free Aug. 30–Sept. 28. Sports & Culture: Strong Group’s Jones Cup three-peat ended in a format twist; meanwhile, Taiwan’s Black Queens playoff draw sets up a match vs Ecuador, and an anime Chainsmoker Cat was removed from Ani-One Asia over local rules.
