Am 28. April 2014 stoppte Taiwans Regierungschef Jiang Yi-huah unter dem Druck anhaltender Demonstrationen gegen die Atomkraft den Bau des geplanten vierten Atomkraftwerks. Er folgt damit einer Ankündigung von Präsident Ma Ying-Jeou, der am Wochenende erklärt hatte, dass die Bürger Taiwans in einer Volksabstimmung über den Bau des umstrittenen Reaktors entscheiden sollen.
