China's real estate crisis continues as local governments, like in Qingdao, aim to boost the housing market with various tactics. In one district, residents with significant bank savings but not purchasing property are being detained, leading to online ridicule and concerns that not giving birth to three babies could be next on the government's agenda. The district authorities have shifted their focus to selling real estate, with staff performance evaluations linked to promoting home purchases. These actions have sparked discussions about the government's stance on encouraging childbirth as a solution to declining birth rates. Suggestions have included tying the policy of having three children to benefits for public servants and imposing penalties on families unwilling to have children. The situation reflects a broader debate on population policies and social welfare in China.

FTNN News Network reports on the ongoing controversies surrounding Parliament reform in Taiwan, with both the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and the Kuomintang (KMT) conducting street campaigns.

Apple is collaborating with ChatGPT developer OpenAI to enhance its intelligent voice assistant Siri and operating system to keep up with competitors in the AI race. At their annual Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple announced a major overhaul of Siri and many other new features, introducing a personalized AI platform called 'Apple Intelligence' to offer users a more seamless way to navigate Apple devices. Additionally, Apple revealed that new versions of iPhone and Mac operating systems will allow access to ChatGPT through cooperation with OpenAI for text and content generation. The testing version is set to launch in the fall. While this move is aimed at propelling Apple's products to new heights, not everyone welcomed it. Tesla and Twitter/X owner Elon Musk expressed concerns about data security and threatened to ban the use of iPhones within his companies. This integration with ChatGPT may reveal deeper issues for Apple, potentially indicating the pressure the company faces in introducing new AI features into its products, as it recently fell behind Nvidia in market value. Despite aiming to reassure investors, some view the ChatGPT integration as a sign of Apple acknowledging its limitations, making the company's move notable in light of its strict product control policies. Apple also announced the upcoming launch of its mixed reality headset Vision Pro, set for release in the UK on July 12th, following its US launch in February.
