Lien Hsien-ming, president of the Chung-Hua Institution for Economic Research, said that China’s 10 measures on Taiwan announced after the Cheng-Xi meeting were similar to measures taken in the past and would have a limited effect on stimulating domestic demand. Industries on both sides of the Taiwan Strait have shifted from complementarity to competition, with China and Taiwan now competing directly, particularly in traditional industries, where price pressures are significant. The institution forecast economic growth of 7.22% for this fiscal year, while the consumer price index (CPI) stands at 1.98%, nearing the inflation warning threshold. Lien stressed that easing China’s overcapacity and “involution” problems would help Taiwan’s industries.

Councilor Yang criticized the city government’s passive approach to cultural heritage protection and called for a restoration plan to be submitted to the council within 3 months.

China’s Foreign Ministry said this afternoon that it had lodged a strong protest with Japan over a Japanese Self-Defense Forces vessel entering the Taiwan Strait. It said the Chinese military had responded in accordance with the law. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun accused Japan of “compounding one mistake with another,” saying the vessel’s entry into the strait exposed Japan’s intention to intervene militarily in the Taiwan Strait, at a time when Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s remarks on Taiwan were seriously affecting China-Japan relations. China views the incident as a serious threat to its sovereignty and security.
In the case of tycoon Zhong Wenzhi, who fled while on bail and was subsequently wanted by police, High Court Judge Chen Yong-sung was impeached by the Control Yuan for failing to announce and serve a ruling denying an increase in Zhong’s bail and an extension of technology-based monitoring. The Disciplinary Court heard the case. Chen said he had based his ruling on the “presumption of innocence” and expressed regret, saying he should have exercised greater caution given the seriousness of Zhong’s alleged crimes and the public attention surrounding the case. Prosecutors argued that they had not received the ruling and were therefore unable to appeal. The Judges Evaluation Committee had resolved to refer Chen for disciplinary action last August.

Teachers reinstated after an investigation will receive full back pay and academic research allowances.

Hong Kong-based British conglomerate Jardine Matheson is considering acquiring the ParknShop supermarket business, owned by CK Hutchison, led by Li Ka-shing, and merging it with its Wellcome supermarket chain.

In 2023, ParknShop and Wellcome together held about 90% of Hong Kong’s supermarket market, but an internal assessment suggests their combined share after a merger would be less than 50%. CK Hutchison declined to comment, while Jardine Matheson and DFI Retail Group did not immediately respond.
