- Former Premier Hao Pei-tsun (郝柏村), who was the most powerful man in Taiwan's military during the rule of the late President Chiang Ching-kuo (蔣經國), yesterday revealed that Taiwan had long ago acquired the ability to produce nuclear weapons, without actually having launched any test explosions.
"Following the success of [Taiwan's] nuclear program, President Chiang openly declared that Taiwan had become a nuclear-capable country, but that it would not bring the research results into production," Hao said, speaking to reporters at a book launch for his two-volume work published under the title of Eight-year's diary as the Chief of the General Staff.
