Taiwan launches a new ministry — the Ministry of Sports — headed by a double Olympic gold medalist and the youngest minister in the country's history. Former Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je is out on bail but he may still face legal challenges with prosecutors set to appeal his release. And the Semicon Network Summit has been held ahead of the main event, emphasizing partnership and cooperation. Plus:
- TaiwanPlus talks with analyst Bryce Barros to discuss the Indo-Pacific impact after reports that the Pentagon is shifting focus from Russia and China toward domestic and regional conflicts.
- Four smaller Taiwanese political parties are forming a coalition to challenge bipartisan gridlock and boost electoral competitiveness in the 2027 elections.
- Taiwan's Economy Ministry says the country's liquid natural gas supply is stable following a Washington think tank report saying 30% of LNG imports depend on a potentially Beijing-friendly Qatar.
