The article discusses Japan's trend of building tall buildings during the economic bubble era, resulting in nearly 1,700 super high-rise buildings by the end of 2023, primarily concentrated in three major metropolitan areas. The active promotion of urban renewal and redevelopment in Japan post-2000, with Tokyo accounting for 30%, has led to high renovation costs, making residents less inclined to live in high-rise buildings. The article also mentions Kobe City's approach of prohibiting new high-rise residential buildings in its city center due to population decline and aging, emphasizing the need for balanced urban development to address such issues.

Private equity investors are increasingly resorting to dividend recaps, where lower-rated companies raise debt to pay investors, as a means of meeting their demands for payouts amid a lack of traditional exit strategies due to a slowdown in mergers and acquisitions and initial public offerings. Despite the risks associated with leveraging companies further, private equity firms continue to turn to dividend recaps due to the high demand for credit. This trend is driven by the desire to provide quick returns to investors and the challenging market conditions, with some of the latest deals including Blackstone refinancing Park Place Technologies' debt and Centerbridge Partners launching a loan sale for KIK Custom Products for a dividend payout.

During a parliamentary session, Kuomintang lawmaker Weng Hsiao-ling criticized President Lai Ching-te for his recent statement that 'the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China are not subordinate to each other,' accusing him of diminishing the Republic of China and labeling him as a 'traitor.' Weng questioned where the Republic of China's effective jurisdiction lies, to which Defense Minister Gu Li-hsiung responded that it covers Taiwan and its surrounding islands. Weng further expressed concerns that Lai's remarks could weaken Taiwan's position and provide justifications for the mainland to reclaim Taiwan. She argued that Lai Ching-te's recognition of the People's Republic of China essentially supports their territorial claims over Taiwan, questioning who is truly abandoning the Republic of China.

The rise in prices is affecting various vendors and even affecting consumer choices. Both the convenience of sourcing and the flavor profile of squid are highlighted as reasons for its substitution of octopus in some dishes. The increase in raw material costs is impacting not only the prices but also the availability of these seafood items, forcing businesses and consumers alike to be more cautious with their spending.
