Tired of Uber breaking their rules, the Taiwan’s government hit Uber with fines. Taiwan’s government explained that suspending Uber’s service was difficult because of the drivers and riders affected but it had to be done. In Taiwan Uber is consider a technology company and cannot provide transportations. Last year Uber racked up 73 million Taiwan dollars ($2.4 million) and with the new the regulations/regulation Uber now owes 231 million Taiwan dollars ($7.4 million). Uber is allowed to operation in Taiwan “as long as Uber is willing to be regulated by the transportation authorities, willing to pay its taxes properly and willing to carry out its duty of paying insurance for its riders," said Hu Tichi, a senior engineer at Taiwan's transportation ministry (Jethro Mullen and Yuli Yang, 1). Unfortunately, this is just one of many countries Uber is experiencing issues with (especially when addressing benefits, pay, and rider safety).
