Following the surge in property buying heat after the launch of New Qing'an, the government has introduced new anti-speculative measures! Despite freezing interest rates, the Central Bank announced its sixth credit control wave during the directors' meeting on the afternoon of June 13. Although the control measures were not expanded, and luxury home price thresholds were not lowered, experts suggest the control this time is relatively mild. Funds may move to non-controlled areas, and first-time buyers need not worry excessively. The tightening of second-home loan ratios in certain areas may lead to fund shifts, affecting mainly property buyers in the seven major cities and Hsinchu. The market now awaits cooler changes.

According to a report by the American think tank CSIS, China has significantly increased pressure on Taiwan in recent years, raising concerns internationally about the potential for a full-scale conflict. Apart from invasion threats, Beijing has other coercive options, like establishing a 'grey zone' quarantine area led by law enforcement to punish and intimidate Taiwan. This tactic aims to showcase China's control over Taiwan by implementing cost-effective blockades targeting Taiwan's major ports, particularly Kaohsiung Port, which handles a considerable portion of Taiwan's trade, including essential goods like food and oil. The report defines 'quarantine' as law enforcement-led action to control situations below armed conflict, and 'blockade' as a military-led operation to significantly reduce incoming volumes to Taiwan. The scenarios presented include limited and comprehensive isolations.
