美國國務卿布林肯會見中國大陸國家主席習近平。布林肯關切中國大陸在台海做出的挑釁舉動，但重申美國「一中政策」迄未改變，美方也不支持「台獨」，反對任一方片面改變兩岸現狀。他提到，若爆發有關台灣的危機，七成的半導體出口品為台灣製造，恐產生影響全世界的經濟危機。

國共海峽論壇後，中共國台辦即宣布，恢復台灣釋迦輸入，輸大陸釋迦須來自獲得註冊登記的包裝廠和果園。國民黨表示，這證明兩岸堅持既有政治基礎、保持溝通管道暢通、積極交流對話的重要性。陸委會稱這是另一次分化台灣社會的統戰作為。
中共官方自2021年起，以檢疫問題陸續宣布暫停鳳梨、蓮霧、釋迦等台灣水果輸入。

After the Straits Forum, attended by Kuomintang (KMT) and Chinese Communist Party officials, the Taiwan Affairs Office of mainland China's State Council announced that imports of Taiwanese custard apples will resume, and custard apples sold to the mainland must come from registered packaging factories and orchards. The KMT stated that this proves the importance of maintaining the existing political foundation, smooth communication channels, and active dialogues between both sides of the Taiwan Strait. According to Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council, this is another propaganda campaign meant to divide Taiwanese society. Starting from 2021, the mainland Chinese authorities successively announced the suspension of importing Taiwanese fruits, such as pineapples, wax apples, and custard apples, due to quarantine issues.

經濟部公布五月外銷訂單為456.8億美元，較去年同期減17.6%，一如預期「連九黑」。今年一至五月外銷訂單較去年同期減少兩成，經濟部預估六月接單衰退幅度同樣在兩成左右，全年能否轉正，仍難說。

Vice President William Lai announced that in order to reduce the gap between public and private university tuition, the government will push as a major policy initiative to subsidize more than 50 percent of private university tuition fees. The Ministry of Education estimates that the measure will require annual funding of about NT$15 billion (about US$482 million). It was criticized by the opposition parties as pouring away money to grab youth votes. Experts point out higher education is not compulsory education, and that giving away higher education as a "gift" may hasten the decline of Taiwan's higher education.

All 15 incumbent grand justices are now appointed by President Tsai Ing-wen.

民眾黨總統參選人柯文哲拋出重啟服貿主張，指過去他反對的是黑箱通過、不符民主程序，而非服貿本身；行政院回應，重啟服貿目前社會沒共識，只會造成更多紛亂，總統參選人對此問題要謹慎。國民黨總統參選人侯友宜表示，柯文哲常常如此，以前說的跟後面做的會完全不一樣。

TPP presidential candidate Ko Wen-je proposed to restart the Cross-Strait Agreement on Trade in Services, indicating that what he opposed in the past was a "black-box" approval process that did not conform to democratic procedures rather than the agreement itself. The Executive Yuan responded that there is currently no societal consensus on restarting the services trade pact, which would only create more confusion. Presidential candidates should be cautious about this issue. KMT presidential candidate Hou Yu-ih stated that Ko is often like this. That is, what he says before will completely differ from what he will do later.
