Taipei, Aug. 7 (CNA) Minister of Culture Li Yuan (李遠) said Friday that he will recommend that President Lai Ching-te (賴清德) issue a posthumous citation honoring publishing pioneer Charles Kao (高希均), who died Thursday at the age of 90. Li said he was deeply saddened by Kao's passing and praised his contributions to Taiwan's magazine publishing industry, public policy and economics. In 1981, Kao co-founded CommonWealth Magazine with veteran journalists Yin Yun-peng (殷允芃) and Wang Li-hsing (王力行). Beyond publishing, Kao served as an adviser to multiple Executive Yuan ministries and agencies and as a visiting professor at National Taiwan University's College of Management. He also played a key role in researching and shaping Taiwan's economic policies.
