With just five days to go until a recall vote to decide the fate of two dozen opposition lawmakers, we take a look at how Taiwan arrived at this unprecedented moment. A new survey claims half of Taiwan's businesses are already being affected by uncertainty over potential U.S. tariffs, which may or may not be applied from August 1.

- Concerns of "united front" tactics as China announces hundreds of internships for Taiwanese young people with state-run enterprises.
- Firefighters have protested for greater protections in front of the headquarters of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party.
- Hualien on Taiwan's east coast continues to struggle with flooding brought by Tropical Storm Wipha over the weekend.
