On 15 May 2017, The China Post was the Times's last English-language competitor to go out of print and the Taipei Times is consequently offered at most points of sale, hotels and libraries as the English-language option.

Along with some other newspapers, including The Guardian, it is a participant in Project Syndicate, established by George Soros.[5]
