A dramatic twist in the #Kaohsiung Mayor by-election: @kuomintang's candidate Lee Meichen was accused of plagiarizing 96% of her Master's thesis, and after initially refusing to admit her mistake, Lee announced that she will give up her master's degree.

setn.com/News.aspx?News…
She admitted earlier today that she had plagiarized her master's thesis and she would not list the degree in the official election notification sent to voters across Kaohsiung city. This is yet another big blow to @kuomintang's attempt to boost its image in #Taiwan.
@brianhioe, I'm waiting for your take.

A formal pre-disclosure of tariffs could happen as early as Wednesday, after a lengthy investigation into China’s state subsidies for its car manufacturing, which is predicted to conclude that massive support continues to be concentrated on the EV sector.
Chinese manufacturers are already bracing themselves for new import duties, but experts anticipate that Beijing will retaliate with countermeasures that could hit a range of EU exports to the country, ranging from cognac to dairy products.

Thread: Following U.S. Secretary of Defense @SecDef's speech at #SDL24, the People's Liberation Army held a presser to hit back against the speech, criticizing Washington's stance on a range of issues including #Taiwan, South China Sea and the Middle East conflict:
“The real purpose [of The U.S. Indo-Pacific strategy] is to merge a small circle into the big circle of NATO, that is, an Asia-Pacific version of NATO, to maintain the U.S. Indo-Pacific strategy.
[It] is a political rhetoric that sounds good but does no good. It builds exclusive clubs with the cold war mentality and zero-sum mindset in the name of advancing regional cooperation.”

My latest: #HongKong’s adoption of Article 23 Tuesday is being criticized by foreign governments, while some business figures say the law will hasten foreign businesses’ departure from the city.
@benedictrogers @SamuelBickett @laiyanhoeric
