Hsiao Meiqin's low-key visit to Taiwan to participate in the European Parliament Forum highlights Taiwan's use of international organizations to break through diplomatic isolation

Taiwan Vice President Hsiao Meiqin arrived in Ventotene, Italy, in a low-key manner last week to attend the Forum on Freedom and Democracy hosted by the European Parliament. This trip took place on the eve of the US-China summit in Washington at the end of September. Taiwan tried to bypass the restrictions of the one-China policy and expand its international space through the invitation of the European Parliament, a non-sovereign organization. The entire trip was kept confidential, took 27 hours, and did not meet with Italian government officials. The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemned and lodged representations with Italy and the European Union. Representatives of the European Commission temporarily canceled their attendance and removed their flags, highlighting the sensitivity and limitations of Taiwan-EU interactions. Scholars point out that although this diplomatic approach through the legislative branch rather than the executive branch is niche, it provides Taiwan with a channel to participate in international forums that is less susceptible to pressure from China.

China's remarks on severely punishing Taiwan independence caused controversy, Shen Jingban said it responded to external concerns

Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the People's Republic of China, said that Shen Boyang, the Taipei mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, who was included in the list of "Taiwan independence die-hards," will be punished in accordance with the law and held accountable for life. The Mainland Affairs Council criticized this as an intimidation to the Taiwanese people. Shen Boyang's campaign office stated that he wore a bulletproof vest when he visited Japan because he was wanted and needed to pay attention to safety, and that external threats would not affect his determination to serve.

Changhua County Council banquet caused controversy, prosecutors summoned Xie Dianlin and more than 20 people to explain

The Changhua County Council held a banquet on June 23, and it was questioned that KMT Speaker Xie Dianlin initiated the "treat guests to a meal" election mode to assist the election of his cousin Chen Zhenfei to run for mayor of Xihu Town. The Changhua District Prosecutor's Office summoned more than 20 people, including Xie Dianlin, his father Xie Xinlong, Chen Zhenfei and parliamentary civil servants, to explain the case. The investigation is still ongoing. Prosecutors pointed out that the banquet caused controversy and were investigating whether it involved election bribery or the use of public funds. Attendees included politicians from the Xihu area, and many people have since completed their electoral registration. Wei Pingzheng said that his attendance was just to gain exposure, while Xie Dianlin's office emphasized that the expenses were borne by him and were not public funds or electoral activities.

U.S. House of Representatives calls on KMT to allocate resources to build Taiwan's critical defense capabilities

After meeting with the Chinese Kuomintang Legislative Yuan caucus, U.S. Representative John Molenaar stated that the Kuomintang needs to implement resources to support the construction of Taiwan's key defense capabilities, especially the drone budget, and warned that China's harassment of Taiwan would escalate. The Kuomintang reiterated its support for necessary defense preparations, and advocated enhancing energy security through a nuclear energy referendum, while strengthening cooperation with the United States in defense, technology supply chain and other fields.
