Inflation in Taiwan hit a nine-month high in October after summer typhoons caused crop losses that pushed up food prices. Meanwhile, a new report says solar activity may be subjecting parts of the world to stronger winter storms. The country's military says it is working with the U.S. to speed up delivery of purchased arms worth over US$19 billion. And Taiwan's foreign minister is visiting the three Baltic states amid reports that Taiwan may open its first representative office in Estonia. Also:
- Presidential candidates have raised their suggestions on how to tackle Taiwan's stubbornly low birthrate, including the possibility of legalizing surrogacy.
- Alpacas are taking Taiwan by storm, transcending the subversive Chinese-language meme that saw mention of them banned in China.
- A group of Australian firefighters is in Taiwan, teaming up with a local animal shelter for a 2025 calendar with the proceeds to go to charity.
