On June 10, 2024, Taiwan's industry is concerned about stable power supply. In order to assist businesses in reducing carbon emissions, Minister of Economic Affairs Guo Zhihui proposed the concept of 'electric power differentiation' after taking office, where electricity will be categorized into three tiers - regular, low-carbon, and pure green, similar to different compartments on a high-speed rail. This system aims to help businesses meet sustainability challenges and transition towards renewable energy sources, potentially starting by next year pending environmental ministry's approval.

The G7 summit set to begin on Thursday in Italy is expected to focus on countering the support from China and Russia to Russia's aggression against Ukraine. Reuters reported exclusively on Sunday that the G7 will issue a new warning to smaller Chinese banks to stop aiding Russia in evading Western sanctions. While G7 might release a statement regarding Chinese banks, immediate punitive actions like restricting their participation in the SWIFT international payment system or cutting off their access to US dollars are not expected during the summit. The US and its allies are prepared to impose sanctions and stricter export controls to weaken Russia's ability to bypass Western sanctions, with new major sanctions announcements targeting financial and non-financial entities being expected this week.
