Taiwan has begun the largest-ever iteration of its annual Han Kuang defensive military exercises. The government has condemned China for blacklisting eight Taiwanese aerospace, shipbuilding and defense-related entities, calling it a weaponizing of commerce. And firefighters hold a protest seeking work and legal reforms after a rescue mission resulted in the death of two of their colleagues. Also:
- Hakka farmers experiment with growing sorghum as a replacement for other water-intensive grains.
- Hualien's fire department says one of its rescue dogs died last month in an accidental fall during a training exercise.
- More plaintiffs have joined a class action lawsuit against Taiwanese chip manufacturer TSMC alleging discriminatory practices at its Arizona plant .
