According to German news source 'Handelsblatt,' German transport minister Volker Wissing, a member of the Free Democratic Party, faced criticism from the Foreign Ministry, Economy Ministry led by the Green Party, and the Interior Ministry led by the Social Democrats over a data transfer memorandum of understanding with China. German Chancellor Scholz publicly expressed dissatisfaction and emphasized the importance of prior consultation, citing it as a fundamental issue. Despite the critique, the transport ministry defended early notification of the visit's purpose and shared draft MOU before signing with China's Cyberspace Administration. The agreement aims to facilitate cross-border data flow for German automotive companies operating in China. The ministry spokesperson clarified that the MOU is a starting point for legal discussions on data transfer, aligning with the German government's China strategy. German businesses with significant Chinese operations welcomed the initiative, hoping to address legal challenges related to cross-border data flow and privacy. Wissing highlighted the importance of data mobility while considering privacy and security, especially amid China's tightening data transfer regulations since 2022, which have started to ease in recent months. China's new regulations allow international businesses in free trade zones to transmit data overseas under certain conditions. The report is copyrighted by Deutsche Welle in 2024, warning against unauthorized use, with violators subject to compensation and potential criminal charges.

A recent incident involving disputes over courtesy seats on the Taiwan Railways has prompted discussions online. The Ministry of Health and Welfare announced a draft amendment to rename the courtesy seats as 'Priority Seats' and change the criteria from 'elderly, weak, women, and children' to 'those in actual need.' Sharp-eyed netizens noticed that the onboard seating arrangement of Taiwan Railways had already been changed to 'Priority Seats' in their short-distance trains, starting in 2016. The change was also implemented on new trains introduced by Taiwan Railways after 2016, taking inspiration from Japan. Many netizens shared mixed opinions, some questioning the effectiveness of simply changing the name, while others emphasized the importance of moral education. This change was also previously trialed by Taiwan Railways in response to disputes over courtesy seats involving a visually impaired student in 2016, where the seats were renamed as 'Priority Seats' with an emphasis on accommodating passengers with internal organ impairments or special needs.
