Here's Google's translation of the table at the bottom of the "summert.htm" page:

>>>>>>>>
Decade 	                                                        Name                      Start and end date
Republic of China 34 years to 40 years (AD 1945-1951 years)     Summer Time               May 1 to September 30

Republic of China 42 years to 43 years (AD 1953-1954 years)     Daylight Saving Time      April 1 to October 31 
In the 44 years to 45 years (AD 1955-1956 years)                Daylight Saving Time      April 1 to September 30 
Republic of China 46 years to 48 years (AD 1957-1959)           Summer Time               April 1 to September 30 
Republic of China 49 years to 50 years (AD 1960-1961)           Summer Time               June 1 to September 30 
Republic of China 51 years to 62 years (AD 1962-1973 years)     Stop Summer Time 
Republic of China 63 years to 64 years (1974-1975 AD)           Daylight Saving Time      April 1 to September 30 
Republic of China 65 years to 67 years (1976-1978 AD)           Stop Daylight Saving Time 
Republic of China 68 years (AD 1979)                            Daylight Saving Time      July 1 to September 30 
Republic of China since 69 years (AD 1980)                      Stop Daylight Saving Time
<<<<<<<<

The page shows DST in 1979 from July 1 to September 30, while the current "asia" file shows DST in 1980 from July 1 to September 30.
"summert.htm" and "asia" are otherwise in agreement.

Since "summert.htm" is from a "gov.tw" site, I'm inclined to make the change.

According to Taiwan's CWB : 
http://www.cwb.gov.tw/V6/astronomy/cdata/summert.htm

Taipei has DST in 1979 between July 1st and Sep.30

but Olson DB doesn't mention this.
