As a result of heightened geopolitical tension and economic concerns, the once bustling 'Taiwanese Town' in Pingtan, Fujian province, China, tailored for Taiwanese business, has now become deserted with only a few stores remaining open. Efforts by Fujian authorities to attract Taiwanese investment have dwindled significantly due to factors such as independence sentiments, the COVID-19 pandemic, and overall political and economic uncertainties, resulting in a substantial decrease in Taiwanese investment in the region and across China as a whole. Rising production costs, trade tensions, and geopolitical risks are pushing Taiwanese investors to seek alternative locations, with some looking to Southeast Asia instead, showcasing a lack of acceptance among Taiwanese businesses for China's economic zones.

As summer brings about the season of dengue fever outbreaks, various regions in Taiwan are on high alert to prevent the spread of the disease.
