Taiwan has long competed under the name "Chinese Taipei" in international sports events, originating from the 1979 Olympic Games resolution. This naming arrangement is considered by some Taiwanese people to belittle the country's sovereignty.
The current Asian Games will be held in Nagoya, Japan. A Taiwanese citizen broke the news to this newspaper. When purchasing tickets for the Nagoya Asian Games on the official ticketing website, only "Chinese Taipei" can be selected in the "Nationality" column. There is no "Taiwan (Taiwan)" or "Republic of China (ROC)" option. The general audience is not a player, and even this is dwarfed.
According to the ticket sales page of the official website of the Nagoya Asian Games, foreigners who want to purchase tickets for various sports competitions must enter their personal information and select "nationality" before payment can be made. When Taiwanese purchase tickets, they use the English version of the ticket purchase webpage. The nationality column only has "China" and "Chinese Taipei" as options, but there is no "Taiwan" option. The Japanese version of the ticket sales page only has the Chinese characters for "People's Republic of China" and "チャイニーズ・タイペイ", but there is still no "Taiwan" option.

People have questioned that when our national team competes in Japan, they can only compete in the name of "Chinese Taipei". They cannot raise the national flag when winning medals and awarding awards. Even when Taiwanese buy tickets to watch the Asian Games, they can only fill in the nationality column as "Chinese Taipei" or "チャイニーズ・タイペイ". Is there anyone in Taiwan whose nationality is "Chinese Taipei"?
In this regard, Wang Xinghuan, chairman of Taiwan's Foundation Progressive Party, said in an interview with this newspaper that if everyone is used to using "Chinese Taipei" and thinks it is the so-called Olympic model, but the English and Japanese version of the ticketing interface only has "Chinese Taipei" and "チャイニーズ・タイペイ" as the nationality to choose from, it is actually a kind of dwarfing.
Wang Xinghuan criticized that everyone should not hide their ears and deceive the bell. He believed that compared with using "China" directly, using "Chinese Taipei" would not be dwarfed. "Chinese Taipei" is actually "Chinese Taipei" or "Chinese Taipei".
Wang Xinghuan emphasized that "Chinese Taipei" in English also refers to China, so don't deceive yourself and others into thinking that "Chinese Taipei" is not China. To be angry about using "Chinese Taipei", there is no reason for us to accept "Chinese Taipei".

A poll by the Trustees Association showed that the difference in support between Democratic Progressive Party Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang and current mayor Chiang Wanan is only 1.2 percentage points. KMT Taipei City Councilor Yang Zhidou questioned the relationship between the polling unit and UMC founder Tsao Hsing-cheng before the poll was released. The blue camp tried to use the "general recall" label to influence voters' perceptions. The fan blog "Voice and Politics" pointed out that this move reflects the anxiety of the blue camp, and companies regard the closer election campaign as a real change, but in fact they are competing for the power to interpret the current election situation.
Jiang Nanxuan, deputy director of the Hainan Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security, said that during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, Hainan Province will adhere to the priority orientation of employment and promote high-quality and full employment of key groups such as college graduates and migrant workers by building an employment-friendly development model, implementing "1131" real-name services, and improving the dynamic management of groups with employment difficulties, and will control the urban surveyed unemployment rate within 5.5%.

Tainan Yongkang District Councilor candidate Wu Yijie in Taiwan revealed that the Kuo husband-in-law of the People's Party MP candidate Lin Naili in the same district was a natural science teacher and director of a junior high school. He used his identity to molest underage female students many times and tried to secretly film them. In 2025, he was sentenced for taking advantage of power to commit obscenity and attempted sexual image filming. However, Lin Naili still took her to participate in constituency activities and organize parent-child activities. Wu Yijie questioned whether his background as a psychological counselor should be aware of the risk of secondary harm.

The latest poll by "Zhen Media" shows that the New Taipei City mayoral election is in a stalemate. DPP candidate Su Qiaohui's support is 38.2%, while KMT candidate Li Sichuan's support is 37.1%. The difference between the two is only 1.1%. Polling expert Dai Lian announced the Taipei mayoral poll on the same day, with Jiang Wanan leading Shen Boyang by 1.2%, causing the blue camp to question the authenticity of the poll, and some even accused him of accepting funds from the Democratic Progressive Party to conduct fake polls.

Media person Wu Jingyi pointed out that US President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping will meet in Washington. The focus will not be on the length of the handshake or the smile, but on Trump’s choice of words to discuss Taiwan independence, whether the US$14 billion arms sales to Taiwan are blocked, and whether Taiwan’s purchased weapons can be delivered normally. She emphasized that the key to Taiwan's security lies in improving its defense capabilities, international connections and strategic value, so that anyone must calculate the cost of attacking Taiwan.

In order to alleviate the overcrowding in prisons, the Ministry of Justice has expanded the measures of re-examination. However, Zhuang Ruixiong, Secretary-General of the Democratic Progressive Party Caucus of the Legislative Yuan, and Huang Jinqiao, a public supplementary education lecturer, pointed out that if there are insufficient manpower for phased tracking, social labor transfer, and custodial care, the re-sentencing policy may transfer the pressure from prisons to the District Prosecutor's Office and the custodial system. They emphasized that policy implementation needs to simultaneously review the front-line workload and resource allocation to prevent re-examination from becoming a mere formality or increasing the risk of recidivism.
