Kuomintang (KMT) Legislator Hsu Chiao-hsin presented diplomatic documents revealing a confidential agreement between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) and the Czech Health Technology Institute (CHTI). The agreement involves $10 million in aid to Ukraine, with at least 30 percent allocated for purchasing Taiwanese medical equipment. There are concerns that the government may favor specific vendors and that there could be interference in Czech internal politics. MOFA filed a complaint against Hsu for leaking diplomatic secrets. However, Hsu countered that the so-called "secret" content had already been disclosed in an official Czech journal in March.

Escalating conflicts in the Middle East and uncertainty regarding United States interest rate policies have led to nervous market sentiment. According to the Financial Supervisory Commission, foreign investors sold over NT$100 billion (about US$3 billion) in Taiwan stocks in April, resulting in a net outflow of US$1.3 billion. This marks the end of five consecutive months of net inflows. In response to the significant capital flight by foreign investors, the Central Bank intervened to prevent further depreciation of the New Taiwan Dollar, resulting in foreign exchange reserves dropping to US$56.7 billion in April, the lowest in six months.

總統府回應，現階段立場仍是希望確保陳獲得妥善健康照顧，並依相關法律規範辦理。

President Tsai Ing-wen will step down on May 20. There is speculation that she will grant a pardon to former President Chen Shui-bian before leaving office. Many DPP legislators see this as an opportunity for social reconciliation. On the other hand, opposition parties questioned how Chen could be pardoned without pleading guilty. They demand that President Tsai personally explain. Meanwhile, Chen's ongoing cases should proceed to the third trial promptly rather than be pardoned without due process.
The Office of the President responded that its current stance is to ensure Chen receives proper health care and handle the matter in accordance with relevant regulations.

On May 9, five mainland Chinese Coast Guard vessels and seven government vessels gathered in waters near Kinmen. Mainland state media reported that they were conducting a simulated rescue exercise related to a collision incident involving fishing vessels. This marked the first time that multiple mainland agencies and vessel types conducted such an exercise in Kinmen waters.
In February, a mainland Chinese speedboat entered Kinmen waters and capsized during an evasion maneuver, resulting in two deaths. The incident remains unresolved. The mainland’s Coast Guard subsequently announced routine law enforcement patrols in the waters around Kinmen and Xiamen.
