Jiang Wanan said that in the face of the completion of the third terminal and the third runway of Taoyuan Airport, including the period of 2027 and 2033, we can actively take inventory and work together to put the relevant supporting facilities in place, so that the loose aircraft migration can be achieved, and more importantly, it will lay an important foundation for the development of the industry in the next 20 or 30 years, and even longer-term.

Peaceful demonstrations in France escalate into violent riots, Macron blames far leftists

In a televised speech, French President Macron criticized the violent acts such as arson and looting that occurred during the demonstrations, saying that they made people feel "anger and shame" and blaming the radical far left and criminals. About 500,000 people took to the streets across the country to demonstrate. The incidents involved the destruction of public buildings, looting of shops, and burning of police vehicles in many cities. As a result, 2,400 people were arrested, nearly 1,000 police officers were injured, and one person died.

Is the Blue and White practice named after "giving out the package"? From the old Fu method to the financial planning method, taking stock of the three major overturns in the opposition

The Blue and White Legislators revised the financial planning law three times within a year, and problems such as errors in mathematical formulas and missing implementation dates were revealed. Recently, the third reading was forced to amend Article 22 of the Elderly Welfare Law, which deleted the legal source of partial payment of expenses for vulnerable elders and subsidy for expenses other than health insurance benefits, and only retained the full subsidy for health insurance premiums. This triggered criticism from Democratic Progressive Party legislator Lin Chuyin, who pointed out that medical subsidies for low-income and low-middle-income elders would lose their legal basis.

Will you cause big trouble by forcefully pushing Laofu to practice the law? Kuomintang League: Elderly health insurance subsidies will not crowd out the disadvantaged

Xu Yuzhen, secretary-general of the Kuomintang League, responded to the controversy over the Blue and White Legislators’ amendment to the Elderly Welfare Law to delete some of the costs borne by disadvantaged elders and other legal sources of subsidies. He pointed out that medical security for disadvantaged groups not only relies on the Elderly Welfare Law, but also has independent legal basis from the National Health Insurance Law, Social Assistance Law and local systems. Approved administrative benefits cannot be canceled arbitrarily. The purpose of amending the law is to increase the responsibility for health insurance subsidy to the central government to eliminate regional disparities, rather than weakening medical care for disadvantaged elders.

(90th Anniversary of the Victory of the Long March) How did the Long March go global?

The article explores how the Long March of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army went global. Through the propaganda of the CCP's overseas organizations, reports from international friends, and documentary works, the Long March story broke through the Kuomintang's news blockade, shaped the international image of the CCP and the Red Army, inspired overseas Chinese's patriotic enthusiasm, and won international sympathy and support. The Long March spirit became a bridge connecting China and the world, and has global significance that transcends the times.
