Wu Zetian ruled as emperor for 15 years, so why did she ultimately return the empire to the Li family? Di Renjie made her see the light with one remark
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
This article explores why Wu Zetian handed the empire back to the Tang dynasty's Li family at the height of her power. The key was Di Renjie's reminder about ancestral rites and clan traditions, as well as the fact that the military and the people still supported the Li family, prompting her to follow the tide of events and pass the throne to her biological son, Li Xian.
Facts
Wu Zetian officially declared herself emperor in 690 AD and renamed the dynasty Zhou.
Di Renjie asked Wu Zetian: "Which bond is closer, that between an aunt and nephew or that between a mother and son?"
Di Renjie argued that if she made a nephew crown prince, they would be worshipped together in the ancestral temple as aunt and nephew—a precedent unknown in history.
When officials announced that Prince of Luling Li Xian would personally lead the expedition, large numbers of volunteers enlisted.
Wu Zetian ultimately decided to name Li Xian heir to the throne, abandoning the idea of replacing Tang with Wu.

Stop boiling corn on the cob! An expert shares 1 simple trick that needs no boiling water: sweeter, juicier and even better in texture
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
A Japanese culinary researcher has shared a microwave technique for cooking corn: wet it, wrap it in plastic wrap, then heat and let it rest in a specific way for a quick dish that preserves its flavor.
Facts
The microwave-corn method shared by a Japanese cuisine researcher involves removing the husk, wetting the corn, and then wrapping it in plastic wrap.
Set the microwave to 600W and heat the corn for 5 minutes, then let it stand for 5 minutes.
Moisture on the corn produces steam as it heats, helping the whole ear cook evenly.
Compared with boiling, wrapping the corn in plastic wrap for microwaving helps reduce the loss of sweetness and preserve its flavor.
The kernels on microwaved corn are plump, with a sweet, juicy bite and softer skins.

ChangXin’s 4F² architecture breakthrough: Why is Micron not following suit? Analyst says global memory market has entered a layered contest
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 鉅亨網
長鑫存儲 announced plans to advance its 4F² DRAM architecture, while Micron has chosen to stick with 6F² and move toward 3D DRAM. The move reflects diverging technology paths in the global memory industry, which has entered a phase of layered competition.
Facts
長鑫存儲 plans to launch a new generation of DDR5 RDIMM server memory using the 4F² architecture before the end of this year.
After decades of evaluation and prototype validation, 美光科技 decided to continue with its existing 6F² architecture and move toward 3D DRAM in the future.
The theoretical memory cell area of the 4F² architecture can be reduced by about one-third, and ChangXin expects the new architecture to shrink chip area by about 30%.
Micron expects its next-generation 1δ process to enter mass production in the second half of 2027 at its Boise fab in Idaho, United States.
Samsung expects to advance 6F² mass production at its 1d-nanometer node in 2027 and may adopt the 4F² architecture at its 0a-nanometer node before the end of 2028.

Beyond banning chip exports, the U.S. targets capital: AI, quantum computing, hypersonics and biotech also covered
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 鉅亨網
The U.S. Treasury Department has drafted new rules under the COINS Act to broaden restrictions on U.S. investments in sensitive technology sectors, including semiconductors, AI and biotechnology, in China, Russia and other countries, to prevent technology from being used for military or surveillance purposes. The draft distinguishes between prohibited and reportable transactions and includes a small-transaction exception. Public comments are being accepted through December 7, 2026.
Facts
The U.S. Treasury Department has proposed draft rules to further restrict U.S. investment in sensitive technology industries in countries of concern, including China, Russia, North Korea, Iran and Cuba.
The new rules would expand the scope of the existing outbound investment security program to cover semiconductors, artificial intelligence (AI), quantum information, high-performance computing, supercomputing, hypersonic systems and certain biotechnology technologies.
The draft rules were developed by the U.S. Treasury Department under the Comprehensive Outbound Investment National Security Act (COINS Act), passed by Congress in December 2025.
For reportable transactions, the draft provides a small-transaction exception: a U.S. investor may be exempt from reporting if the aggregate value of transactions with a relevant covered foreign entity or joint venture does not exceed $50,000 over the preceding 12 months.
Violations may incur civil penalties capped at the greater of $250,000, adjusted for inflation under applicable law, or twice the value of the transaction in violation.
Craig Singleton, a senior fellow at the 民主防衛基金會, said the proposal signals to the market that Washington is tracking the flow of U.S. capital and the technological capabilities it helps build.
The public is invited to submit comments on the scope of the rules, key definitions, reporting requirements, penalties and enforcement procedures. Written comments are due by Dec. 7, 2026.
