During a parliamentary session, Kuomintang lawmaker Weng Hsiao-ling criticized President Lai Ching-te for his recent statement that 'the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China are not subordinate to each other,' accusing him of diminishing the Republic of China and labeling him as a 'traitor.' Weng questioned where the Republic of China's effective jurisdiction lies, to which Defense Minister Gu Li-hsiung responded that it covers Taiwan and its surrounding islands. Weng further expressed concerns that Lai's remarks could weaken Taiwan's position and provide justifications for the mainland to reclaim Taiwan. She argued that Lai Ching-te's recognition of the People's Republic of China essentially supports their territorial claims over Taiwan, questioning who is truly abandoning the Republic of China.

A recent increase in the prices of squid, by 20%, coupled with the already soaring prices of octopus, is posing challenges for food businesses making dishes like 'takoyaki' which traditionally uses octopus but often substitutes with squid due to cost differences. The rise in prices is affecting various vendors and even affecting consumer choices. Both the convenience of sourcing and the flavor profile of squid are highlighted as reasons for its substitution of octopus in some dishes. The increase in raw material costs is impacting not only the prices but also the availability of these seafood items, forcing businesses and consumers alike to be more cautious with their spending.

U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy is advocating for the addition of warning labels on social media apps to remind users, especially adolescents, of the harm caused, particularly to young people's mental health. Although the label alone won't make social media safe, studies suggest it can raise awareness and influence behavior, akin to the impact of warning labels on tobacco products. Murthy emphasizes the need for regulation by the U.S. Congress to implement these warning labels and has been warning about the detrimental effects of social media on youth, including the increased risk of depression. Some states like New York and Florida are already taking steps to protect minors from such harms through legislation.
