The call to abolish the Examination Yuan resurfaces as DPP legislator Chen Ting-fei leads a proposal with support from 29 party members, but DPP caucus convenor Ko Chien-ming states in an interview that it is not the focus of this legislative session and won't be addressed in the next 4 years, potentially contradicting his own party members. While Ko Chien-ming supports the abolition, he delays action for four years, essentially freezing the voices advocating for abolishing the Examination Yuan. Regardless, the proposal garners support from 29 party-affiliated legislators including Huang Chieh, Hung Shen-han, and Wang Shih-chien. Chen Ting-fei appeals for the establishment of a 'Constitutional Amendment Committee' under Legislative Yuan President Han Kuo-yu to push for the abolition, while lawmakers Lin Chu-yin and Chiu Chih-wei emphasize the need for societal consensus and timing before proceeding with the amendment.

German automotive economic expert Ferdinand Dudenhöffer warns that imposing tariffs would significantly increase the prices of German electric cars, making them unaffordable for consumers and negatively impacting the clean energy transition for European manufacturers like BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Renault. Demand for electric cars in Germany may further decline. Chinese electric car brands like BYD and MG currently hold a low market share in Germany but with Chinese imports contributing to about 13.7%. Dudenhöffer also mentions the possible increase in market share for Chinese brands this year. If punitive tariffs are imposed by the EU following an investigation into China's alleged illegal subsidies for electric cars, it could have repercussions for German sales. The success of the Chinese automobile industry, according to Dudenhöffer, is attributed to economies of scale rather than unfair subsidies, with a decision on tariffs expected from the European Commission this week.

Following a recent incident where one member of a Taiwanese tour group was detained during a visit to China, reports have emerged of Taiwanese temple officials, religious practitioners, and businesspeople encountering investigations or interrogations by Chinese public security personnel. The Mainland Affairs Council has compiled a list of 'common behaviors leading to detainment' to alert the public of potential risks when traveling to China. With increased scrutiny on Taiwanese individuals entering China, including academics and retired military and police personnel facing questioning and device searches, concerns over 'personal freedom risks' extend across various industries, as even ordinary citizens have been subject to prolonged interrogations akin to criminal involvement. The council's warning comes ahead of the official implementation of China's new national security regulations related to inspecting electronic devices, indicating a heightened risk for Taiwanese nationals traveling to China.
