According to a report from SET News on June 12, 2024, Taichung residents have been disposing of an average of 6587 beds per month from January to April this year, with the cleanup crews in each district overwhelmed by the massive piles of mattresses, particularly dreading the task when it involves 'pocket spring mattresses'. The process of manually disassembling and retrieving high-carbon steel springs from these mattresses is extremely tedious, with a lack of companies handling this leading to long wait times for disposal. The Taichung Environmental Protection Bureau has seen an increase in mattress disposal each year, with an average of 5542 beds being collected by cleanup crews monthly in 2023, rising to an average of 6587 beds per month in the first four months of this year, causing significant burden on the crews.

On June 12, 2019, Hong Kong protesters surrounded the Legislative Council in protest of the government's attempt to pass the controversial Extradition Law amendment, resulting in police firing tear gas to suppress them. This marked a significant turning point in the opposition to the law, leading to an escalation of the anti-extradition movement. Police fired 240 tear gas rounds, along with other projectiles, injuring over 80 people and arresting at least 11. The incident prompted the delay of the law's review, with many protesters facing charges, including rioting. Subsequently, Hong Kong's pro-democracy group 'Civil Human Rights Front' presented five demands, pushing for the withdrawal of the extradition bill, release of detainees, an independent inquiry into police conduct, and the resignation of Chief Executive Carrie Lam, among other calls.
