Lai Ching-te (賴清德, William Lai) spokesperson, elected Taiwanese premier in 2017, confirmed the project to make English a second official language in Taiwan by 2019.
> I'm on the board of the OEASOL (Office of English as a Second Official Language) here in Tainan where Mayor Lai (before he became premier) kicked off the plan. As far as I can tell, the *main goal is to increase the use of English in the government.* The second part is to educate the public in general.
