Taiwan is to make English an official language next year, Premier William Lai announced on Monday.
The Ministry of Education has been discussing the proposal since last October.

The move aims to improve English language proficiency and help Taiwanese people pursue opportunities abroad, Lai said in an interview with United Daily News.
It includes establishing bilingual schools across the country, with English being taught to pupils from an early age.　

The Hong Kong government said that it was “reasonable for Hong Kong to make the necessary arrangements to facilitate
the Mainland authorities’ assistance with the implementation of the co-location arrangement at the West Kowloon Station.”

But Civic Party lawmaker Tanya Chan said the HK$1,000 rent was “laughable” since the West Kowloon terminus is in Hong Kong’s most expensive area.

At the International Commerce Centre next to the terminus, rent can cost as much as HK$100 per square foot. If rent for the mainland port area followed the market rate, it could be worth HK$100 million.

Chan said the arrangement to reduce rent for the Shenzhen Bay Port was hypocritical, since Hong Kong had already paid HK$4.2 billion to build the port and in land development fees.

“We have also been paying the 8 million [Chinese yuan] plan for 11 years – it was nearly HK$100 million.
Hong Kong people have been cheated from the beginning,” she said, referring to the fees for the Shenzhen Bay Port.
