The diaries of Taiwan's former leader, Chiang Kai-shek, who led between the crucial years 1948-1954 are being published for the very first time, having recently been returned from the U.S. after a lengthy legal battle. As Taiwan's military warns that the threat from China has increased over the past year, a picture book has been published to teach children about concepts of national defense. And as China prepares for the funeral of former Premier Li Keqiang, official media reports have been muted while public displays of mourning are being discouraged. Also: - Taiwan's industrial sector is lukewarm about the government's price incentive plan to ease pressure on the national power grid. - A Taipei band combines a contemporary rock style with Taiwanese language and traditional instruments in search of an authentic local voice. - Local conservationists are considering ways to maintain the habitats of Taiwan's many species of bat.
