Taiwan is preparing for the arrival of Typhoon Gaemi, which is expected to make landfall in the northeast of the country bringing heavy rain and strong winds. The weather forecast prompted the cancellation of a portion of Taiwan's largest annual military drills, the Han Kuang Exercise. Meanwhile, an air raid drill brought the capital Taipei to a standstill for half an hour, while firefighters and police in New Taipei practiced responding to a simulated attack in an annual civil defense exercise. Also:
- A kindergarten in northern Taiwan is being accused of abusing students in the latest of a series of childcare and education scandals.
-Police in central Taiwan have arrested eight people in connection with a drug ring.
- A performance troupe prepares to bring Soul Guiding, a uniquely Taiwanese funeral tradition, to Paris for the Cultural Olympiad.
