(b) "Jason Tsai is among the few in Taiwan with excellent English, but two years after graduating from university * * * Tsai has been pulling in an average monthly pay of T$15,000 ($455) through part-time work, below the minimum wage of T$22,000 for college graduates"

("In 2015 "employers offered NT$26,493 (US$855) in starting salary on average to new college graduates who were first-time job seekers * * * [according to] Daniel Lee 李大華, vice president of 1111 Job Bank" 1111人力銀行 (private, similar to Monster.com in US) )
(c) "Wu Chung-cheng 吳 聰成, deputy minister [政務]次長 of the civil service ministry 銓敘部"

(ii) 政務次長 (in charge of policy-making) is higher than  常務次長 (in charge of execution). Thus the former may be translated as first deputy minister, though this is not done in Taiwan.
(iii) 考試院 (Examination Yuan) 銓敘部 has jurisdiction over 文官制度, 公務人員人事. I am clueless about why Reuters ask 銓敘部 to comment, as opposed to Ministry of Interiors 內政部.

(d) "Public debt burden is now at a record $550 billion"
