The Taipei City government has been accused of hiding a visit from a Chinese delegation over the weekend from media attention, though city hall says it was following instructions from the central government. Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council has rejected comments by China's foreign minister, Wang Yi, that Taiwan has been part of China "since ancient times." And TaiwanPlus reporter Rik Glauert has arrived in Ukraine, where he will be sending back exclusive reports in the coming weeks as the country marks the first anniversary of Russia's invasion. Also:
- Marking World Whale Day, an eco-tourism company in eastern Taiwan's Hualien County has launched a new research project on sperm whales.
- Taiwan has finally eased its indoor mask mandate after three years. But on day one of the new regulations, few people wanted to be the first to de-mask.
- Former NBA star Dwight Howard was among 12 players ejected from a game in Taoyuan in the biggest brawl in Taiwan's professional basketball history.
