Three Japanese delegations are visiting Taiwan, with one delegation leader pledging support for more pro-Taiwan legislation. China has stepped up so-called “law enforcement patrols” in waters east of Taiwan, raising concerns over Beijing’s efforts to assert maritime jurisdiction in the region. And Taiwan is tightening enforcement against illegal transshipments and false Made-in-Taiwan labels on US-bound goods. Plus:
- As the US approaches the 25th anniversary of 9/11, those affected are remembering the attacks and passing their stories on to younger generations.
- An annual nuclear safety drill in Taiwan is adding a drone attack scenario ahead of November’s referendum on nuclear energy policy.
- Taiwan honors its 2026 Asian Games athletes ahead of their departure for Japan with a flag presentation ceremony attended by President Lai Ching-te.
