According to Chinese state media reports, Chinese car manufacturers are urging the Chinese government to impose retaliatory measures on European imported gasoline cars in response to the EU's plans to impose anti-subsidy tariffs on Chinese electric cars. Chinese automakers, along with European automakers, opposed the EU's actions in a closed-door meeting, with Chinese manufacturers even suggesting imposing higher temporary tariffs on large-displacement gasoline cars imported from Europe. This move is seen as pressuring European car companies to stop the EU's proposed tariffs on Chinese electric cars. The escalating trade tensions include China's retaliatory measures like investigating anti-subsidy measures on European pork products, as the impact on European agricultural products is limited but could significantly affect European car manufacturers who heavily rely on the Chinese market.

The recent conflicts over priority seats have sparked debates on whether priority seats should be abolished. Incidents of verbal insults and physical altercations by seniors demanding seat offerings have raised concerns that priority seats not only fail to promote goodwill but also deepen generational divides. Priority seats originate from a system in Nordic countries aimed at accommodating and assisting individuals with disabilities. Over time, the concept evolved to prioritize seating for pregnant women, the elderly, the injured, the sick, children, etc. However, controversies arise when certain individuals misuse the seats, leading to moral coercion and emotional manipulation. While Taiwan grapples with priority seat debates, countries like the USA, Japan, South Korea, Germany, and Australia each have their own unique seat-giving cultures that offer valuable insights for improving public transportation environments.
