How do crosswinds affect runway selection at Taichung International Airport / Ching Chuang Kang Air Base?

Aircraft land and depart into the wind. Headwind is the part of the wind along the runway heading. Crosswind is the part blowing across the pavement. A negative headwind is a tailwind. At Taichung International Airport / Ching Chuang Kang Air Base (RMQ/RCMQ) the live call is landing and departure 36 with METAR wind 10° @ 11 kt. 36 shows 10.7 kt headwind, 0.0 kt tailwind, and 2.6 kt crosswind from the right. Controllers switch runways when the opposite threshold offers more headwind, or when the crosswind on the runway in use climbs. The component table lists every RCMQ threshold so you can see which end holds the headwind and which end is taking the tailwind.
