The U.S. and China claimed progress in a third round of trade talks in Stockholm, though no major breakthroughs were announced. China’s military has recently ramped up its activity near Japanese waters. And U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says reports that Taiwan President Lai Ching-te was denied a U.S. stopover on a planned trip to visit Latin America is unrelated to U.S.-China tariff talks. Also:
- Parts of Taiwan’s oldest railway yard is reopening to the public as a national museum.
- Landslides, blocked highways, flooding and power outages have been reported in cities throughout central and southern Taiwan.
- Government figures say the gender income gap in Taiwan narrowed in 2023 but men still made 1.57 times more than women on average.
