The escalating tensions in the Taiwan Strait, a key global shipping route, have sparked international concerns.

President Lai Ching-te made the remarks in a New Year address, a day after Chinese leader Xi Jinping said ’reunification‘ with Taiwan was ’unstoppable.’

The announcement comes as Taiwan faces increasing military pressure from China.

The approval allows continued supply of U.S. chipmaking tools to TSMC’s Nanjing plant as U.S. export curbs focus on more advanced semiconductors.

The renewed search deploys deep-sea drones under a ‘no find, no fee’ agreement to locate MH370’s wreckage.

The location falls within an area that has experienced heightened seismic activity in recent months, but no tsunami threat has arisen.

Beijing left room to adjust the measures but confirmed they will take effect at the start of 2026.

A bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers has voiced criticism toward the Chinese Communist Party.

The soldiers had been held in Thai custody since July after an earlier round of deadly border clashes.

As the first election phase concludes, Beijing is leveraging the polls to assert dominance over regional affairs, experts say.

The Chinese regime said the military drills encircling Taiwan were a response to a recent U.S. arms sale to the island.

Interviews with service members reveal how economic pressures, broken promises, and political control are straining morale within the Chinese military.

The non-ballistic missiles were flown ahead of a congress at which the communist regime will consider whether to resume nuclear diplomacy talks with Washington.

Cheng Li-wun, a former lawmaker, took office as the chairwoman of Taiwan’s largest opposition party, the Kuomintang, in November.

The breach exposed personal information of Coupang’s 33.7 million customers, all in South Korea.

Taipei criticized Beijing for what it called ‘irresponsible provocations’ that undermine regional peace and stability.
