- Description
- A year after a sudden barrier lake collapse inundated Guangfu Township in eastern Taiwan, killing 19 people and destroying entire Indigenous villages, survivors are struggling to rebuild their lives. Relocated to interim housing kilometers away from their flood-damaged property, residents report high electricity bills connected to public meters while their original homes remain buried under two stories of mud. Along the southern banks of the Matai'an River, over 1.7 square kilometers of farmland suffers from poor soil conditions and destroyed irrigation intakes, leading officials to plan a flood control park rather than agricultural restoration. On Monday, affected villagers demonstrated in Taipei, calling for Cabinet transparency and official land buyouts.

- Taiwan’s Army held simulator training with Stinger missile systems in Tainan on Tuesday as it works to strengthen defenses against aerial threats from China. Soldiers trained on both shoulder-fired and fixed-mount versions of the US-made air defense system. They used a Taiwan-developed simulator equipped with display screens and VR headsets. The drills allowed troops to practice engaging drones under battlefield conditions without conducting live-fire launches. According to Lt. Col. Chen Yu-wen, simulation training helps soldiers become familiar with operational skills. Stinger systems are part of a proposed US$14 billion arms package to Taiwan that is awaiting US approval.

- In the South Korean coastal city of Geoje, two young haenyeo, or “sea women,” are using YouTube to share a centuries-old diving tradition with a modern audience. Jin So-hee and Woo Jung-min free dive without air tanks to gather seafood, a practice recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage. Their channel, with nearly 50,000 subscribers, documents both the rewards and risks of the profession. While some young people are drawn by the freedom and work-life balance it offers, educators say only a handful of trainees ultimately become haenyeo, raising concerns about the tradition’s long-term future.

- Surrogacy, which is illegal in Taiwan, is back in the news after a bust on a cross-border group offering surrogacy services to Taiwanese men.
Prosecutors say the ring offered a choice of egg donors and surrogate mothers based in Thailand, charging fees up to US$126,000. They could also choose the baby's sex for an extra fee. Twenty-two Taiwanese men used this illegal service over the past year and overwhelmingly preferred male children.
Three people have been indicted, including one Chinese national, according to prosecutors. Two other Chinese nationals have also been placed on a wanted list.

- Workers at US memory chipmaker Micron’s plants in Taoyuan are threatening a strike after negotiations over profit sharing broke down. Micron’s Taoyuan union rejected further talks after the company failed to meet key demands. The company has offered Taiwan employees a one-off bonus of up to 68 months’ pay, but union members are seeking 83 months, along with a permanent profit-sharing system. The union says its demands follow a similar deal reached by employees at South Korea’s Samsung after strike threats earlier this year. Micron workers in Taiwan are now preparing to vote on whether to strike as the dispute over bonuses and profit sharing continues.

The initiative saw immediate results, driving a 10% increase in bus ridership compared to the previous week. While transportation authorities opted for fare waivers over promotional coupons as in the past, environmental advocacy groups like the Green Citizens' Action Alliance said long-term carbon reduction requires a holistic approach connecting pedestrian walkways and bike lanes to public transit networks.

- Description
- Three people have been indicted and two additional suspects are on a wanted list after authorities uncovered an international surrogacy ring involving at least 22 male Taiwanese customers over the past year. The case has drawn attention because surrogacy remains illegal in Taiwan. Prosecutors allege the network arranged overseas surrogacy services for Taiwanese clients, while investigators continue efforts to locate the remaining suspects. The investigation highlights ongoing legal and ethical debates surrounding cross-border surrogacy and enforcement challenges when services are arranged outside Taiwan but involve Taiwanese citizens.

- At Palau High School, students are learning Mandarin. They say they're interested in visiting Taiwan for educational exchanges. While the country's education system ends at the community college level, many Palauans seek higher education abroad in the US, where they can study, work and live visa-free. But as the country battles an emigration problem, educators are looking to turn their students futures' to Taiwan in the hope they'll return to Palau after graduation.

- Description
- At 9:21 a.m. on September 21, Taiwan conducted its annual nationwide earthquake alert test, sending emergency broadcast messages to mobile phones across the country to mark National Disaster Prevention Day. The date commemorates the devastating 1999 Jiji Earthquake, a magnitude 7.3 quake in Nantou County that claimed over 2,400 lives and caused hundreds of thousands of buildings to collapse. Following recent seismic events like the 2024 Hualien earthquake, the country continues to refine its early warning systems. Over the weekend, President Lai Ching-te announced the creation of the World Alliance for Disaster Management to deepen international search-and-rescue partnerships.

- Description
- As US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping prepare for their high-stakes summit in Washington, Taiwan is closely watching for any signals on Washington's approach to Taipei. Taiwanese officials say the fundamentals of US-China competition and US policy toward Taiwan are unlikely to change, regardless of the summit's outcome. But analysts warn that Trump's comments on Taiwan, trade, or semiconductor issues could still have significant implications. The fate of a proposed US$14 billion arms package for Taiwan is also drawing attention. Meanwhile, Taipei expects Beijing to use the meeting to press its narrative on Taiwan and regional security.

- Description
- Taiwan's labor minister, Hung Sun-han, attended an APEC ministerial meeting in Nanjing on Monday, becoming the first sitting Cabinet-level official to visit China since the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) returned to power in Taiwan in 2016. APEC is one of the few international organizations in which Taiwan participates as a full member, using the name Chinese Taipei. Taiwan’s participation in this year’s forum had been uncertain because the event is being hosted by China. Beijing has previously blocked Taiwan’s presidents from attending APEC summits, making Hung’s visit a notable development in cross-strait and international engagement.

- The Philippines is defending Taiwan’s plan to open a second representative office in the country after China warned the move could harm bilateral relations. Beijing said Manila should adhere to its "one China" policy but Philippine officials argued that the framework still allows economic and cultural engagement with Taiwan. Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. told local media, “We define the one China policy. We define it. Not them.” Taiwan’s new representative office is set to open in Cebu City, a major trade and tourism hub in the central Philippines and highlights growing working ties between Taipei and Manila.

- Taiwan's geographically closest ally, Palau, will be the site of the US military's biggest overseas construction next year. Projects include rebuilding a major port, installing radar tower systems, and expanding a remote airstrip for military use. But locals worry the increase in military operations could make their home a target for conflict, and are seeking protection for themselves and their environment. Conservationists fear the critically endangered dugongs could be affected by upcoming construction.
