The U.S. director of national intelligence has warned of a US$1 trillion annual hit to the global economy if Taiwan were to be attacked. Taipei has held annual civil defense drills, which help prepare civilians for the event of an attack or natural disaster. And the U.S. has rejected a request to sell Taiwan its most advanced F-35 stealth fighters. Also:
- Taipei has hosted the world's 1st international Women in Sports Photography Awards, with top prizes awarded by President Tsai Ing-wen.
- Researchers in Taiwan have discovered that certain types of oolong tea contain a compound that they say could help treat Parkinson's disease.
- Taiwan is considering importing strawberries from Japan, but local farmers are unhappy about the potential competition.
