Which country is the happiest place to live? This 1 Asian country takes the top spot, beating Japan and Singapore
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
According to Professor Steve Hanke's 2025 Annual Misery Index, Taiwan retained its position as the world's least miserable economy with a score of 2.1, benefiting mainly from strong economic growth driven by demand for semiconductors and AI. Venezuela topped the misery rankings amid extreme inflation, while Asian neighbors including Japan, China, and South Korea were also assessed.
Facts
Taiwan ranked 178th globally with a score of 2.1 in Hanke's 2025 Annual Misery Index, retaining its position as the world's least miserable economy for the second consecutive year.
Venezuela plunged to the top of the rankings with a score of 556.5, becoming the country with the heaviest cost-of-living burden in the world.
A key driver of Taiwan's low misery index was real GDP per capita growth of 9.2%.
Among 178 economies worldwide, as many as 105 countries faced their main source of pressure from bank lending rates.
The Hanke Annual Misery Index is calculated by adding the inflation rate, unemployment rate (weighted twice), and bank lending rate, then subtracting real GDP per capita growth.

Blood pressure won't come down? Cardiologist points to 4 nighttime habits that may be to blame; most people get No. 2 wrong
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
A cardiologist cautioned that people with high blood pressure should pay attention to their evening habits and avoid drinking alcohol, eating too much at dinner, having high-salt late-night snacks, and going to bed with a tense mind. This can help the cardiovascular system enter repair mode smoothly overnight, lowering the risk of stroke and heart disease.
Facts
During sleep, the cardiovascular system should enter repair mode. If it cannot transition smoothly into this state at night, the risks of myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, kidney disease, and cognitive decline may all rise.
Research shows that even small amounts of alcohol may raise blood pressure and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Eating large amounts of highly refined carbohydrates such as pasta, pizza, white rice, white bread, desserts, ice cream, cookies, or candy can cause blood sugar and insulin levels to rise rapidly.
Long-term overconsumption of refined carbohydrates and sugar may promote insulin resistance, increase visceral fat, heighten inflammation, and stiffen blood vessels, all of which are risk factors for high blood pressure.
High-salt snacks such as popcorn, pretzels, and potato chips may raise blood pressure and affect blood sugar, increasing the risk of high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease.
Research indicates that stress and lack of sleep can both affect blood pressure. Long-term stress may raise blood pressure, while poor sleep quality can also impair the body's nighttime repair functions.

Did he mobilize the medical community against waiving health insurance premiums for seniors? Shih Chung-liang: “It is my responsibility to safeguard the health insurance system.”
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
Minister of Health and Welfare Shih Chung-liang responded to medical groups' opposition to amending the Senior Citizens Welfare Act to waive health insurance premiums, stressing that maintaining an orderly health insurance system is his responsibility. He warned that the amendment could add NT$40 billion to the budget each year, crowd out other spending and increase pressure to raise premiums.
Facts
The KMT and TPP recently worked together to pass the Senior Citizens Welfare Act in its third reading, stipulating that people aged 65 or older whose income tax rate was 20% or below in the past 1 year would not have to pay health insurance premiums.

Minister of Health and Welfare Shih Chung-liang said the government estimates that the amendment to the Senior Citizens Welfare Act would require at least an additional NT$40 billion in annual funding.

A retired Japanese couple, Shuichi, 68, and Kazuko, faced a request from their 36-year-old daughter Misaki for 10 million yen to buy a home after getting married. Considering their own future medical and care expenses, they ultimately offered only 3 million yen, prompting their daughter to reflect and apologize.

Did the mass recall lead Lai Ching-te to “put off confronting China in 2026”? Ogasawara reveals a major concern for Taiwan: He knows why Ko Wen-je split the vote
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
Hsin Hsing University professor Yoshiyuki Ogasawara said President Lai Ching-te learned lessons from the failure of the 2025 mass recall campaign. In the 2026 local elections, Lai is set to drop the China issue and focus instead on people’s livelihoods and welfare payments, addressing public discontent over rising prices and avoiding a loss of votes.
Facts
Yoshiyuki Ogasawara, an honorary chair professor at Hsin Hsing University, said the local election landscape has shifted in favor of the ruling party, with the Taipei mayoral race shaping up as a tortoise-and-hare contest.
Driven by the AI boom, Taiwan’s economic growth rate is forecast to reach 11% this year, while the stock market has at one point approached 50,000 points.

Trump admits war and oil prices led to defeat: Why does he say military action against Iran was worth losing Congress?
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
At a news conference after the midterm elections, U.S. President Donald Trump acknowledged that the war with Iran and rising oil prices hurt Republicans’ electoral prospects, but insisted that preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons was necessary and that the political cost was worth paying.
Facts
Trump acknowledged that the war with Iran may have been one of the major reasons Republicans suffered setbacks in the midterm elections.
Trump stressed that military action against Iran was worth the political cost, even if it meant losing the Senate.
CNN exit polls show 87% of voters are concerned about gasoline prices.
74% of respondents said the war with Iran affected their voting decisions.
According to the U.S. lifestyle website Southern Living and cabin etiquette conventions, the middle-seat passenger in a three-seat row has priority over both armrests.
Renowned etiquette expert Diane Gottsman says the middle seat is the least comfortable, so both armrests should be left for the middle passenger.
A survey of flight attendants by travel publication Travel + Leisure found near-unanimous agreement among crew members that the middle-seat passenger has priority over both armrests.
Polls show that only 11% of people are aware of the principle that “both armrests should be left for the middle passenger.”
Among the other respondents, about one-third said the armrests should be “shared equally” by neighboring passengers.
Another 20% of respondents said the middle passenger has priority but should still take turns sharing the armrests.
Who gets the armrests is a matter of cabin etiquette, not formal airline regulations, so the convention is not enforceable.
Both spouses have labor insurance—what’s the best way to claim retirement benefits? Expert reveals the best strategy! Smart planning lets “1 person collect 2 payments”
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
Labor insurance expert Secretary Chang outlined retirement planning strategies for couples who both have labor insurance, emphasizing that the claiming approach should be adjusted based on differences in health and age. The recommendation is for the healthier spouse to receive monthly payments; if one spouse is in poor health or older, that spouse should take monthly payments while leaving a survivor’s pension for the younger spouse; and the younger spouse should take a lump sum. This can allow 1 person to receive 2 payments.
Facts
Labor insurance expert Secretary Chang recommends that couples consider age differences and health when planning retirement benefits, to legally enable 1 person to receive 2 payments at the same time.
If both spouses are in good health and have insured salaries at the top bracket of NT$45,800, both are advised to opt for monthly payments, which could total more than NT$40,000 per month.
Under current rules, workers cannot receive 2 annuity payments at the same time. However, if one spouse takes a lump-sum old-age benefit, the surviving spouse may receive a survivor’s pension after that spouse dies, if eligible.
The labor insurance old-age pension is calculated using whichever of these 2 formulas yields the higher amount: “average monthly insured salary × years of coverage × 0.775% + NT$3,000” or “average monthly insured salary × years of coverage × 1.55%.”
A survivor’s pension is generally calculated at 50% of the old-age pension the deceased was receiving, subject to the Labor Insurance Bureau’s review of whether the applicant meets the legal eligibility requirements.
Starting in 2026, the statutory age for claiming a labor insurance old-age pension has risen to 65.
The Taipei mayoral race in the 2026 local elections is heating up. Li Jung-chang, chairman of 亞洲指標數位行銷顧問公司, said that while domestic polls are chaotic, international prediction market Polymarket puts Chiang Wan-an’s chances of winning consistently at 65%–70%, reflecting optimistic market expectations.
Facts
Li Jung-chang, chairman of 亞洲指標數位行銷顧問公司, said Chiang Wan-an’s implied chance of winning has remained in the 65%–70% range over the long term on the international decentralized prediction market Polymarket.
Prediction markets operate through binary contracts, packaging political events as “yes/no” contracts whose prices fluctuate between US$0 and US$1.
Professional bettors track established institutions over the long term and give them greater weight, while dismissing surveys with unclear methodologies as “noise from partisan campaigning.”
In local executive races, an incumbent’s approval rating remaining above 50% is the most reliable foundation for predicting reelection in historical models.
