BEIJING — The prime minister of Taiwan resigned Monday because of the government’s widely criticized response to a deadly typhoon.

Liu Chao-Shiuan said his successor would replace the entire cabinet this week.

The announce ment by Liu came as a surprise, even though the government had come under intense pressure for what many Taiwanese called its inept handling of Typhoon Morakot, which left at least 700 people dead or missing.
