Kuan Bi-ling
Kuan Bi-ling is the Minister of the Ocean Affairs Council (OAC) in Taiwan, responsible for overseeing maritime policy and the Coast Guard Administration. She has been in the news recently due to concerns about budget cuts imposed by the Legislative Yuan, which could hinder the OAC's ability to take delivery of critical coast guard ships and potentially affect national security amid rising tensions in the region. Kuan has highlighted that while the OAC's overall funding for fiscal 2025 has increased, the cuts could undermine various medium and long-term projects, impacting the council's credibility with contractors and its operational readiness against threats from the Chinese Coast Guard.
