Following the blue and white coalition's passing of the 'Parliament Reform Act,' the Democratic Progressive Party criticized it as the 'Parliament Empowerment Law,' sparking differing opinions among legal experts on whether President Tsai Ing-wen should announce the law. Recent reports suggest that the legal community is allowing President Tsai to announce the 'Parliament Empowerment Law' without hindrance, with the constitutionality to be determined by the Constitutional Court. Additionally, the DPP plans to apply for temporary suspension to freeze the law from taking effect. The President's Office has not yet issued an official statement on this matter, but the announcement is a necessary step for the law to become effective.

On June 24, 2024, a mainland Chinese man drove a speedboat into the Danshui River, prompting the Coast Guard Administration to heighten alert. The next morning, individuals attempted to smuggle illegal cigarettes worth NT$15 million through the Badouzi port in Keelung. Coast Guard personnel remained calm and caught them as soon as the boat entered the harbor. The suspicious cargo, hidden in layers of wooden boards and black waterproof bags, was quickly discovered by the Coast Guard. The captain and six crew members were arrested, and 460 boxes containing about 230,000 packs of cigarettes were confiscated. The perpetrators underestimated holiday vigilance and thought they could profit illegally by smuggling cigarettes from Southeast Asia to Taiwan. However, the Coast Guard had already identified the suspicious fishing boat and apprehended them upon arrival at the port. Despite the weekend, the Coast Guard remained vigilant due to a recent incident involving a mainland Chinese man entering the fisherman's wharf on a speedboat, causing public concern about national security loopholes. The smugglers, confident in their plan, ultimately fell into the Coast Guard's trap as they tried to bring the illegal cigarettes ashore. The suspects were handed over for further investigation and prosecution. This incident is part of ongoing efforts by the Coast Guard to combat smuggling activities in the region.

Taiwan CPC announced a 0.1 NT dollar decrease in gasoline and diesel prices starting from midnight on June 24. Post-adjustment, reference retail prices per liter are 29.1 NT for 92 unleaded gasoline, 30.6 NT for 95 unleaded gasoline, 32.6 NT for 98 unleaded gasoline, and 26.6 NT for premium diesel. This week, due to initiating the dual stabilizing mechanism, CPC absorbed a 3.0 NT increase for gasoline and a 4.5 NT increase for diesel. International oil price increases were influenced by recovering oil demand and potential future production hikes by the OPEC+. The price adjustment mechanism this week should have increased gasoline and diesel by 2.9 NT and 4.4 NT, respectively. However, to keep prices lower than neighboring Asian countries, CPC decided to absorb part of the increase. Moreover, with the price of 95 unleaded gasoline exceeding 30 NT, the price stability measure was activated, absorbing 25% of the adjustment. Taking into account the government's reduction of excise taxes, gasoline and diesel were reduced by 2 NT and 1.5 NT per liter, respectively. CPC continues to aim for the lowest prices in Asia and stabilize domestic oil prices through stabilization measures. By the end of May, CPC had absorbed approximately 12.943 billion NT dollars this year.
