- Thousands joined Taipei's annual Trans March and Pride Parade this weekend. This year's events emphasize unity, with participants marching under the banners of “Crossing Boundaries, Standing Together” and "Our Voices, Our Journey."
But the police raid on a Taipei gay bar earlier this month still cast a shadow on the celebrations. "In Taiwan, after fighting for equal rights for so long we finally managed to build a more friendly LGBTQ+ space," one Pride parade attendee shared. "Actions like that...end up smashing the sense of safety within this space."
2026 marks seven years since Taiwan became the first Asian country to legalize same-sex marriage.

- Description
- Taipei hosted its 24th annual Taiwan LGBT+ Pride parade on Saturday, bringing together tens of thousands of participants and international allies under the theme "Our Voices, Our Journey." This year's march combined festive Halloween energy with calls for institutional accountability following a police raid at the start of the month on a gay bar in the city's Ximending district. The raid triggered a public backlash over police conduct for which Mayor Chiang Wan-an issued an apology. Vice President Bi-khim Hsiao joined the procession this year to affirm government support for LGBTQ+ rights in Taiwan, which seven years ago became the first place in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage.

- Description
- Hsinchu in northern Taiwan is well known locally for its powerful winds. Those same winds have attracted elite kitesurfers from around the world.
While kitesurfing in Taiwan only started in the early 2000s—when spots to practice were scarce—the extreme sport has surged in popularity as local authorities gradually eased restrictions on leisure activities along Taiwan’s west coast.
That growth culminated last week at the Red Bull King of the Air Taiwan qualifier. It marked the first time Taiwan has hosted an official qualifier for the world’s premier kitesurfing competition. The event helped put Taiwan even further on the map as an emerging world-class hub for extreme sports.

- Description
- Some Australians say fears of repercussions from China are discouraging public support for Taiwan, even in cultural and community settings. Members of Australia's Taiwanese community told TaiwanPlus that concerns about careers, travel, and political pressure are contributing to self-censorship. The issue has also been raised before an Australian Senate inquiry examining transnational repression and foreign interference. Community leaders point to China's ethnic unity law, which took effect in July, as another source of concern. Experts say direct threats are not always necessary. They warn that fear alone can influence behavior, shape public engagement, and affect how Australians interact with Taiwan and issues related to China.

- Description
- Taiwan’s business activity indicator has flashed red for 10 consecutive months, signaling a red-hot economy amid strong global demand for artificial intelligence. The National Development Council said the indicator rose one point to 41 in September, partly as overtime hours increased in the industrial and service sectors. Under the Council’s five-color system, red signals a surging economy that could face overheating risks. The Council attributed the sustained boom largely to global AI demand, which has boosted Taiwan’s technology production and exports.

- The US and European Union have expressed concerns over Pakistan’s brief closure of its airspace to Taiwanese airlines. A US State Department spokesperson said the move was part of Beijing’s escalating campaign to isolate Taiwan and intimidate international partners. An EU spokesperson told Taiwan’s Central News Agency that air transport should remain free from political disruption. Earlier in the week, Pakistan’s defense minister confirmed the restriction was imposed in support of Beijing’s “one China” stance. The airspace closure affected Taiwanese carriers but was reversed just hours after it was announced.

- Description
- Pakistan has lifted a short-lived ban on Taiwanese airlines using its airspace, according to Bloomberg. It comes just hours after its defense minister confirmed the restriction in support of Beijing’s “one China” principle.
Beijing claims Taiwan as part of its territory and insists it is the sole representative of China.
In response, Taiwan’s foreign ministry strongly condemned Pakistan for using airspace restrictions to undermine Taiwanese sovereignty.
The Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority has since granted approval for Taiwanese carriers China Airlines and EVA Air to fly through its airspace starting on Wednesday through March 27, 2027.

- Description
- Taiwanese consumers are becoming more cautious about buying new electronics, with willingness to purchase durable goods, such as phones and laptops, falling to a 17-year low, according to a report by National Central University. Researchers point to rising device prices as a factor behind the decline. Industry analyst Chris Hung says strong demand for AI computing is affecting component markets and supply chains, potentially keeping finished-product prices high. Consumers in Taipei say they are considering delaying upgrades because of the cost. With the year-end shopping season approaching, weaker buying intentions could mean fewer new electronic devices sold during a traditionally busy period.

Earlier this year, Monterey Park residents, an Asian-majority city of less than 65,000, came together to fight a proposed data center development — and won.

Carbon dioxide levels climbed to 153% of preindustrial baselines, while methane and nitrous oxide also set record levels.

Climate experts further caution that an upcoming El Niño event could accelerate carbon accumulation even more in the coming year.

- Description
- Taiwan’s Central Bank Governor Yang Chin-long says the New Taiwan dollar should be allowed to move naturally, but not fluctuate excessively, as concerns grow over the currency’s recent weakness. Speaking to lawmakers, Yang attributed the decline mainly to foreign investors selling Taiwan technology stocks and taking profits overseas. The New Taiwan dollar has fallen 3.23 percent against the US dollar this year. Yang says the central bank would step in if exchange rate movements became too large. He also says inflationary pressure from the AI boom remains limited, contributing around 1.6% to consumer prices rises.

Villagers say homes and community facilities have already been relocated, while parts of the island continue to be eroded by encroaching waters. According to US and EU data, global sea levels have risen by more than 10 centimeters over the past 25 years and are expected to continue rising.

- Taiwan’s AI-driven economic boom could deliver its strongest annual growth in nearly four decades. But Economy Minister Kung Ming-hsin says the government must ensure that businesses across all sectors benefit from the expansion. Kung says the Economy Ministry has guided more than 14,000 small and medium-sized enterprises on adopting AI, with a goal of raising AI penetration across industries to 50% as soon as possible. He also hopes individual sectors can develop their own public AI models. The minister points to traditional manufacturers entering the AI supply chain as an example of how the boom could spread beyond the technology sector. He says more balanced growth is essential to sustaining Taiwan’s economic momentum.

- Description
- French football star Kylian Mbappé has been dropped by at least three major Chinese sponsors.
That's after he seemed to joke about China’s former leader Mao Zedong. When asked about his favorite meme of himself, the Real Madrid player pointed to one that superimposes his face onto Mao's. It's “the one I laughed the most at,” Mbappé added. He then said Mao was "some guy, I think he's a Chinese dictator."
In Taiwan, where political satire is commonplace, many felt the Chinese reaction has been overly sensitive and that losing the Chinese market is not the end of the world.
But in China, jokes about Mao remain taboo and state TV has stopped broadcasts of matches from the Spanish football league, La Liga, where Mbappé plays.
