Whois is partially broken

Recently I found that the whois utility in SysinternalsSuite fails to lookup for domains in .tw TLD, giving a message "%ERROR:101: no entries found", while other online whois services e.g. IANA WHOIS (https://www.iana.org/whois) work well to lookup information of .tw domains.

It seems that something is wrong with this utility. Is it possible to fix?
