European leaders are responding to the current threat posed by Chinese imports by choosing to welcome Chinese investments instead of imposing higher trade barriers like the U.S. In an effort to hedge against the potential impact of a global trade war or influx of cheap Chinese imports, Europe is allowing Chinese investments in sectors like electric vehicles and batteries. This approach aims to strengthen industrial ties between Europe and China, potentially causing tensions with the U.S. as Europe becomes more integrated with China economically.

Yahoo Kimo (real-time news) on June 22, 2024, reported that former Kaohsiung TaoYuan District Chief Yan Guo-Chang was sentenced to 8.5 years in prison for corruption charges involving bribery and illicit gains from businesses. The highest court's ruling was finalized earlier this year, but when the city government submitted his case for disciplinary action in May, it was deemed to exceed the 10-year statute of limitations, leading to an exemption from punishment. Yan was accused of accepting around NT$1.59 million in bribes and over NT$200,000 in illicit gains while in office, severely damaging the government's procurement system. Despite facing dismissal, his actions' timeframe surpassed the disciplinary review period, resulting in an exemption from consequences according to the public servant disciplinary laws in force back then.
