Taiwan's Cabinet has proposed a special budget to strengthen the country's defense and whole-of-society resilience in the face of China's increased gray-zone activity. For the same reason, Taiwan's coast guard is also stepping up patrols intended to protect undersea cables that ensure the country's internet access. And the defense chiefs of the US and China have held a rare call, in which both sides expressed a desire to avoid confrontation. Also:
- Reports that Taiwan's envoy to the US was set to be replaced look to have been quashed after he appeared on a call with Taiwan's vice president and a US senator.
- On the sidelines of Semicon 2025, TaiwanPlus meets the deputy science minister of the Czech Republic to discuss collaboration between her country and Taiwan.
- The New York Yankees have held their first ever Taiwanese heritage day during a game against the Detroit Tigers.
