Taiwan's government announces a new set of exemptions for Chinese spouses for obtaining documentation proving they renounced their Chinese household registration, following backlash from groups saying the requirement to provide the records is unfair. Prosecutors are trying to detain six people suspected of involvement in forged signatures on petitions to unseat lawmakers from Taiwan's ruling Democratic Progressive Party. And the country sees a rash of espionage cases in recent weeks, including some close to the highest ranks of government, a sign of heightened Chinese attempts to infiltrate Taiwan. Plus:
- Chinese manufacturers keep their chins up as Washington and Beijing ratchet up their tariff war.
- Google signs a geothermal energy deal with Taiwan, its first such agreement in Asia.
- The remains of a fin whale, one of the world's largest cetaceans, washes up on Taiwan's shores for the first time on record.
