As of June 11 this year, Taiwan has welcomed a total of 3.45 million international tourists, falling short of the initially projected 12 million due to a lack of mainland Chinese tourists. With events and international promotions planned for the second half of the year, the target remains at 10 million tourists, mainly focusing on Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, and North America. Factors affecting the numbers also include the Hualien earthquake in April and a decline in travel during April and May possibly due to the earthquake and tourists waiting for the next long holiday. The issue of the ban on mainland Chinese tourist groups is also being addressed, with a relaxation in place for past organized tours from China, but more discussions are ongoing for further resolutions.

The Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW) recently announced that dairy products with a shelf life of more than thirty days should be labeled as 'long-lasting fresh milk,' sparking opposition from the dairy industry. The Ministry of Agriculture hopes to correct this to 'long-lasting milk.' As the Taiwan-New Zealand Economic Cooperation Agreement is set to take effect soon, concerns arise over the impact of zero-tariff imports of New Zealand milk on local dairy farmers. The MOHW states it will continue to collect public opinions until August 4, and will evaluate in consultation with the Ministry of Agriculture. Meanwhile, lawmakers stress the need for clear labeling differentiating long-lasting milk from fresh milk for market segmentation.

On June 13, 2024, egg prices hit a new low in nearly 2 years, prompting the agriculture ministry to advise reducing egg-related menu prices for dining establishments. Despite the drop in prices, nutritionists recommend consuming only one egg a day, especially for cardiovascular disease patients, to avoid adverse health effects like cholesterol issues. They discourage indulging in dishes like butter-fried omelets or overly salty braised eggs. Exceeding one egg daily can pose challenges for cholesterol and heart health, potentially impacting blood lipid control and even burdening the kidneys in the long run. While eggs provide protein, it's advisable to balance protein intake from other sources like milk, yogurt, seafood, or plant proteins like soy milk and tofu. Recommended cooking methods for heart health include avoiding butter in frying for dishes like omelets and baked eggs, and for those with high blood pressure, staying away from overly salty braised eggs. Boiled eggs, eggs fried in vegetable oil, and steamed eggs are considered suitable, and dishes like tomato scrambled eggs or baked eggs with cucumbers and zucchinis are recommended. Nutritionists stress the importance of fully cooking eggs due to the prevalence of Salmonella in Taiwan, with undercooked eggs posing a health risk. Boiled eggs are recommended over semi-cooked eggs for safety. The article also highlights various egg preparation methods that replace starch with egg yolk in dishes like lion heads using flour or lotus root powder. The Taiwan government's efforts to manage surplus eggs, including potential subsidies for retiring hens, are also mentioned.

The New York Times published an analysis on June 13, 2024, stating that as the G7 discusses Ukraine and Middle East issues in Italy, Washington sees a shift in US power in the strategically vital Indo-Pacific region, no longer positioning itself as a confident security guarantor but as a keen ally in military modernization and technological development. The rise of China poses a significant threat, and the US is no longer the sole global power it once was. Many countries in the Indo-Pacific now view themselves as participants in a new multipolar order and seek US help for weapons, training, and investment in defense technology and equipment maintenance, reflecting growing concerns over China's military strength and aggression, especially towards Taiwan and the South China Sea. The US is acknowledging the need for more assistance, even beyond traditional allies, as it navigates a changing role in shaping the world order amidst internal divides and global uncertainties.

CTWANT Weekly | Xue Mengjie June 13, 2024. The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Central Committee launched the 'The Boss Told Me to Go Live' online program, with DPP spokesperson Wu Zheng confirming that the program was personally instructed by Lai Ching-te, allowing only success and no failure. Minister of Agriculture Chen Junji recently claimed that those labeled '1450' were propagating agricultural policies and not government-funded net armies. Lai Ching-te, following the DPP's governance approach, gradually sidelined the well-known 'pro-Anglo net army' while the marginalized 'new trend net army' was unfrozen, reorganized, and will become the main force of the pro-Lai net army. The DPP's deployment of net armies, recognized by the prosecution in the former diplomat 'Su Tsai-cheng suicide case,' saw a shift in key figures amid Lai Ching-te's presidency stint due to conflicting interests between the pro-Anglo and new trend net armies. The new trend net army, known for grooming talent and strict discipline, is seen as a force that does not hesitate to do whatever it takes to win, as demonstrated during the parliamentary reform bill process. Future departmental propaganda budgets are expected to increase, with continued efforts to recruit the hesitant pro-Anglo net army members and face challenges from the opposition party in securing net army funding, following the precedent of '1450.'
