On July 9, 2024, the Constitutional Court rejected the Legislative Yuan's request for recusal in a case related to the amendment of legislative powers. The Legislative Yuan, led by the Kuomintang and People First Party caucuses, proposed amendments to laws including the Legislative Powers Act and the Criminal Code, granting the Legislative Yuan the power to penalize, investigate, hold hearings, and criminalize contempt of the parliament. The request was deemed to violate the separation of powers principle by President Lai Ching-te, the DPP caucus of the Legislative Yuan, the Executive Yuan, and the Control Yuan, leading to a constitutional interpretation request and provisional disposition. The request for recusal by predominantly blue and white Legislative Yuan was denied by the Constitutional Court, arguing that the assertions made were insufficient to demonstrate bias. More news on executive appointments and political maneuvers was detailed in the original article.

Nornickel is in discussions with China Copper to establish a joint venture that would allow the Russian mining company to relocate its copper smelting operations to China. This potential move, if realized, would be Russia's first instance of moving a domestic plant since the U.S. and Britain restricted the acceptance of Russian metals. Nornickel intends to close its Arctic facility and construct a new plant in China with a partner, with sites in Fangchenggang, Qinzhou, or possibly Qingdao being considered. The facility is expected to have an annual capacity of 450,000 tonnes of copper, making up around 2% of global mined supplies for the year.
