According to random sampling of transaction data and interviews with ten national real estate agencies, demand for real estate in major cities like Beijing and Shanghai has seen an uptick in the past four weeks. Measures such as lowered mortgage rates and down payments on May 17th have been taken, with Beijing local government instructing the purchase of unsold apartments to convert them into social welfare housing. However, the effects of these measures are uneven across the country, with small towns showing no recovery in demand. This imbalance implies that the stagnation in the real estate market may continue, especially in smaller towns. The market remains a major drag on the Chinese economy, and while the measures are more effective in larger cities due to better supply-demand balance, the problem of oversupply is more severe in smaller cities, leading to a potential prolonged economic burden. Analysts predict further loosening measures in the future but foresee an extended period of stagnation in the industry.

On June 23, 2024, at 3:16 AM, Platform X is set to allow subscribers of its Premium service to use the online live streaming feature, becoming the first social community service to offer this feature for a fee, in contrast to platforms like Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitch, and TikTok. While Platform X emphasizes using its encoding technology for the live streaming service, it has not clarified whether this will make the live streaming more stable or smooth. With different subscription plans ranging from $3 for Basic to $16 for Premium+, the move to offer live streaming as a paid service is a new strategy that may attract content creators and influencers for higher content reach, although its competitive advantage remains uncertain in the free-use social media landscape. Embracer Group, post-reorganization, aims to enhance competition with EA and Ubisoft through AI technology, and Amazon plans to replace plastic cushioning in deliveries with recyclable paper by the year's end.

The Secretary-General of the DPP, Lin Yu-chang, criticized this by pointing out the absurdity that according to China's logic, all 23 million people in Taiwan who voted for the President of the ROC are supporters of Taiwan independence. This has raised concerns, as individuals like former New Taipei Mayor Hou You-yi and the Chairman of the Taiwan People's Party, Ko Wen-je, could be considered top war criminals by Chinese standards. Lin emphasized the need for Taiwanese people to unite in protecting Taiwan's sovereignty and the ROC, regardless of political affiliations, as this responsibility is a shared one.
