Kaohsiung, Taiwan — M1 International Limited, a Kaohsiung-based company, announces the soft launch of Kaohsiung Times, a new English-language website dedicated to highlighting Southern Taiwan’s economic transformation and cultural vibrancy for a global audience.

An event announcing the project was held on Monday, September 22, 2025 from 6 to 9 PM on the t4th floor ballroom of the Kaohsiung InterContinental Hotel, AmCham Chairperson, Eryk Michael Smith, and M1 International Founder, Teddy Tsai, spoke at the event.

The new website addresses the region’s underrepresentation in international media by offering timely news, analysis, and storytelling for residents, expatriates, and international readers. Rooted in a deep appreciation for Kaohsiung, it aims to amplify local voices, promote cultural exchange, and attract foreign investment.

Southern Taiwan’s Economic Vitality

Kaohsiung has emerged as a hub of industry and innovation, supported by its role as a pilot zone asset management center, modernized Port of Kaohsiung, and a new Carbon Exchange that advances Taiwan’s green finance goals. The city’s booming concert economy further strengthens its profile as a global destination for business, culture, and world-class events.

Regional and International Collaboration

Kaohsiung Times also highlights cross-border partnerships, including M1 International’s acquisition of the Philippines’ Maharlika Football Club. With CEO Denis Lucindo and Coach Moon “Moondog” Hong leading the team, the venture demonstrates Southern Taiwan’s growing role as a regional connector and gateway to Southeast Asia.
