On June 28, 2024, the Mainland Affairs Council raised the travel alert to China, Hong Kong, and Macau, with Taipei City Councilor Hsu Shu-hua analyzing and pointing out the key reasons for the alert elevation. This decision was made due to multiple cases of Taiwanese individuals being illegally detained, restricted, and interrogated in mainland China recently. Hsu Shu-hua highlighted the increasing threats to personal safety for Taiwanese travelers to China and explained that the unclear and vague new regulations pushed by the Chinese government, where individuals could face severe penalties including death sentences for so-called 'secession crimes,' influenced the decision to raise the travel alert level to 'orange' and advised against non-essential travel to China, Hong Kong, and Macau.

在CNN舉行的辯論中，Joe Biden遇到了困難，無法應對特朗普的說話無所不用其極的不要臉行為。辯論的問題略顯粗糙，打鬧是目的，而不是揭露事實。 Biden並沒有應對好這場辯論，面臨許多挑戰，包括得在缺乏新聞界幫忙的情況下處理不實言論。特朗普則更好地控制時間，但Biden則未能控制自己的思緒和情緒。CNN的辯論被描述成類似《李爾王》的悲劇，敘述一個無法接受自己時日已過的人。

To protect the need for self-occupied housing exchanges and avoid reducing the ability to reacquire self-occupied property due to taxation, the Income Tax Law provides tax incentives for property exchanges. Home swappers can save taxes through the property acquisition and resale tax refund incentive, as long as they meet 3 major requirements. However, it is essential to note that 'buy new and sell new' does not comply with the regulations, as seen in an example where a person purchased two properties but later sold one that was not the old self-occupied property, resulting in having to pay 760,000 yuan in taxes. The tax authorities emphasize the need to meet specific criteria to qualify for the property acquisition and resale tax refund incentive, and failure to do so may lead to additional tax liabilities.
