On June 27, 2024, China Times reported that a mainland Chinese journalist was monitoring a certain domestic political talk show from within the studio. The host of '57 Breaking News' revealed that when the reported journalist called for verification, inquired whether 'Critical Battle' should criticize the Green Camp as requested by the Taiwan Affairs Office of the mainland, the claim was denied as 'baseless and fabricated.' Despite this, the report persisted without clear evidence. The host questioned, if not out of guilt, why not speak up? The talk show had yet to provide concrete evidence for the alleged mainland media surveillance, as reported by Liberty Times. Additionally, the host detailed a key phone conversation with Liberty Times on June 24, where a 'senior media figure' alleged that the Chinese Taiwan Affairs Office had contacted multiple Taiwanese TV stations earlier in the year to produce strip-style political talk shows critical of the Green Camp. Repeated inquiries were met with denials by the PR staff of one TV station, frustrating the persistent journalist. This incident underscores accusations of Chinese media involvement in Taiwanese programs.

The U.S. dollar climbed to a near four-decade high against the Japanese yen, hitting 161.155 yen per dollar, the weakest level since 1986. Despite solid consumer price gains in Tokyo and a drop in U.S. yields, the yen has been on a downward trend, down 6% against the dollar for the quarter and 12% for the year. The yen's decline is attributed to low interest rates in Japan prompting a 'carry trade' and expectations of minor interest rate hikes later in 2024. Other currencies like the euro, sterling, Australian dollar, and New Zealand dollar also saw fluctuations against the dollar, with the U.S. dollar index rising 1.5% quarterly.
