After the embankment in Dongting Lake, Hunan Province, China collapsed due to heavy rains, it has been successfully sealed after several days of rescue efforts. The concern now is how to drain the 2.1 billion tons of floodwater, equivalent to 15 West Lakes, that accumulated. Experts suggest a gradual drainage process to maintain safety, expecting it to take over ten days. Once drained, temporary repairs on the dam will be reinforced due to poor impermeability. Experts warn of the risks post-drainage, as long-term saturation can weaken the dam's stability and increase the likelihood of collapses and seepage, which may lead to further breaches.

On July 8, 2024, NiuJun Yao claimed that Lin Shijie's death was just the beginning of a factional struggle within the DPP. Lin Yiting's father and Fishermen's Association director Lin Shijie was ambushed at home, shot multiple times, and did not survive, at the age of 53. The incident shocked the political circle and drew high social attention. Former lawmaker Qiu Yi bluntly stated that the case could be easily solved and affirmed that there are already retaliations within the DPP, sparking a factional struggle. The case, occurring around 5 a.m. on the 8th, involved a premeditated ambush at Lin Shijie's doorstep, leading to his tragic death and prompting the Prosecutor-General to immediately order a joint investigation by the Southern Prosecutors and Police. Despite the complexities surrounding Lin Shijie's death, Qiu Yi remained certain that the case could be solved easily by cross-referencing evidence from related individuals, asserting that the gunman, accomplice driver, and mastermind could be easily identified. The gruesome incident in President Lai Ching-te's 'Tainan stronghold' signifies the beginning of a bloody struggle. With connections to Huang Hsien-chu and Guo Zaiqin, previously involved in cases such as the 88 shooting, photoelectric fraud, speaker bribery, and former magistrate Chen Kailin's corruption, Qiu Yi believes that the truth will eventually surface through cross-referencing. Perplexed by the boldness of the suspects, knowing Lin Shijie's association with Lai Ching-te, the targeted attack shows that the DPP factional struggle led by Lai Ching-te is taking a brutal turn with retaliations already underway.

According to a report by Sanli News Network on July 8, 2024, the focus of today's weather is still to beware of high temperatures before noon and to be cautious of sudden heavy rain in the afternoon. As a cold core low pressure system that brought unsettled weather to Taiwan moves into southern China today, weather analyst Li Zhicheng from Weather Risk Company pointed out that Taiwan is still on the edge of the Pacific High. Therefore, scattered convective cloud systems are expected to develop in mountainous areas in the afternoon, but due to relatively stable atmospheric conditions, heavy rain will likely retreat to mountainous regions. Li further mentioned that the southwest monsoon will slightly enhance next week, increasing moisture and the activity of tropical disturbances, although there is no significant system seen affecting Taiwan in the short term.

A report highlighted that in Taiwan, due to low national health insurance fees, many people have developed a habit of calling emergency services for minor issues, leading to ambulance services being misused as transportation to non-emergency medical facilities. Around 70% of ambulance cases are considered a waste of resources, with patients using ambulances for non-urgent conditions. This misuse has caused overcrowding in hospital emergency rooms, prompting some hospitals to 'bed-block.' Local fire departments have implemented fees for misusing ambulance services, with various cities charging for non-emergency cases or sending patients to outpatient clinics. The government aims to deter misuse of emergency services by imposing these fees.
