Taiwan news API
Coverage about Taiwan from 285 distinct publishers, in whatever language
it was reported. Pass country=TW to filter.
What coverage of Taiwan looks like
Coverage weighted toward semiconductors, cross-strait relations and regional security. A small market by volume that punches far above it for supply-chain intelligence.
The media landscape
A compact media market with disproportionate coverage of semiconductors, cross-strait relations and supply chains. Business titles carry the industry detail; the general press is dominated by domestic politics. The value here is concentration rather than breadth, so a narrow query outperforms a broad one.
Does this cover articles published in Taiwan, or about it?
About it. The country filter matches the places an article is about, so a wire
piece about Taiwan filed from London is in scope and a Taiwan outlet writing
about somewhere else is not. To filter by where the publisher is based, use
publisher_country instead, and combine the two when you want domestic
reporting about the domestic market.
How do I filter news to Taiwan?
Combine with the trade or science and technology signal to separate industry reporting from political coverage, which otherwise dominates.

What catches people out with Taiwan coverage?
Volume is modest and its value is concentrated: semiconductor supply-chain reporting here is more specific than anything available in English, and often earlier. Political coverage dominates an unfiltered query, so pair the country filter with a technology or trade signal when the industry reporting is what you want.

Which outlets cover Taiwan most?
The most active publisher on this country is cna.com.tw at roughly
10% of the coverage, and the three busiest
— cna.com.tw, udn.com, ltn.com.tw — carry about 28% between them.
That share is worth reading before the volume figure: concentrated coverage
means a large result count can still be a small number of newsrooms. Combine
country with source to narrow to publishers you trust,
or with language to separate domestic reporting from international.

What this market is best for
Best for semiconductor supply chains, contract manufacturing and cross-strait security — a small stream carrying disproportionate value for anyone tracking electronics. Weakest across almost everything else. Query it narrowly and it repays the effort; query it broadly and politics swamps the result.
Narrowing further
Two constraints do most of the work on this axis. Adding a language separates domestic reporting from international commentary about Taiwan, which an unscoped country query returns together. Adding a signal range with a lower bound narrows to articles written in a particular register — supply disruption, financial stress, conflict — rather than to articles that merely mention the subject.
