"Project Syndicate" published a co-authored article by former Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) president Ching-tai Shih, former Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) Vice President Ben Lin, and University of Chicago economics professor Chang Tai-hsieh titled "How America’s CHIPS Act Hurts Taiwan." The article criticizes the United States for encouraging Taiwan semiconductor manufacturers to relocate to the United States through high subsidies. This move could potentially lead to TSMC's loss of innovation momentum and the erosion of Taiwan's leading position in advanced semiconductor manufacturing, ultimately affecting Taiwan's economy and even American national security.

The Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics (DGBAS), Executive Yuan, raised Taiwan's 2024 economic growth rate to 3.43 percent, which is 0.08 percentage points higher than the previous forecast. This is the best projection in nearly three years.

Cross-strait tensions continue to escalate in waters dividing Kinmen and Xiamen. Spokesman Zhang Xiaogang of the mainland's Ministry of National Defense asserted that Taiwan is an integral part of China's territory, and there is no so-called "median line" in the Taiwan Strait. In response, Minister of National Defense Chiu Kuo-cheng warned that if the mainland does not recognize the median line, it could lead to increased regional pressure and reduced buffer space in the future.
