Taiwan does publish national sexual assault data, but not broken down by prisons. A 2025 paper by the Taiwanese Journal of Psychiatry said annual reported cases are in the ~7,700–9,400 range nationwide. If accurate, these figures mean Taiwan’s rate of such offenses is roughly comparable to that of many other developed countries.
The bureau pointed to international comparisons, noting that traffic fatality rates in South Korea are roughly half of Taiwan’s, while Japan’s are significantly lower — outcomes often linked to consistent investment in road engineering and pedestrian infrastructure.
Visitors were invited to check out the Kaohsiung-built zero-emission vessel Porrima P111 (保利馬壹號), developed by Porrima Inc., a company founded by Acer (宏碁) founder Stan Shih (施振榮) and Professor Gunter Pauli.

Highlighted categories include international high-end speakers, headphones, and audio cables, as well as vinyl turntables and high-resolution digital audio sources. A dedicated home theater demonstration area will also be set up to showcase immersive audiovisual systems, alongside displays of projectors and laser-based television technology.
First launched in 2006, the festival initially struggled, with low attendance and financial losses reported in its early years. Organizers persisted, however, gradually building momentum through consistent programming and engagement with Taiwan’s independent music scene.
