China Punishes Taiwan; PLA Jets and Warships Surround The Island In Major Showdown
China has initiated two days of military drills encircling Taiwan, branding them as "punishment" for "separatist acts." This move comes shortly after Taiwan's newly elected leader, Lai Ching-te, was sworn in.
The ruling Communist Party of China maintains that Taiwan is part of its territory, despite never having controlled it, and has vowed to reclaim the island by force if necessary.
Planned Parenthood is under serious threat as Republicans move closer than ever to cutting its federal Medicaid funding. A surprise Senate ruling has allowed the GOP to include the defunding measure in their sweeping megabill—without needing to overcome a filibuster. Democrats are outraged, warning it’s a direct attack on women’s health and reproductive rights. With $792 million in funding at stake, and abortion access on the line, the battle over Planned Parenthood is reaching a boiling point.

A shocking Czech intelligence report has revealed that Chinese agents plotted a staged car crash to intimidate Taiwan’s Vice President-elect Hsiao Bi-Khim during her 2024 visit to Prague. Described as a “demonstrative kinetic action,” the operation was orchestrated by individuals linked to China’s embassy in Prague. Military intelligence says the attempt never advanced past the planning stage — but a Chinese agent’s reckless move, running a red light while tailing Hsiao’s convoy, sparked the investigation.
Taiwan’s Presidential Office has condemned the plot, while Czech officials quietly raised concerns with Beijing. The incident further exposes China’s covert operations and aggressive attempts to isolate Taiwan diplomatically. Lawmakers in Taiwan called the plot an act of “transnational repression.” Despite China’s pressure on global governments, Taiwan continues to assert itself as a sovereign democracy — and this failed intimidation attempt may have backfired for Beijing.

An explosion at Japan’s Kadena Air Base in Okinawa injured four Japanese Self-Defense Force (SDF) personnel during WWII ordnance disposal on Monday. The blast occurred inside the U.S.-controlled base, though no American personnel were hurt. The injuries are not life-threatening. Japan’s 15th Brigade was handling unexploded ammunition at the time. Authorities have urged the public to avoid the area as investigations continue. Kadena, the largest U.S. airbase in the Asia-Pacific, plays a key strategic role near Taiwan.

President Lai Ching-te marked one year in office with a powerful message: Taiwan wants peace with China—but not at the cost of realism or sovereignty. In his speech, Lai emphasized that only Taiwan’s people can determine the island’s future, calling for dialogue based on “reciprocal dignity.” China, however, rejected his offer, branding him a “Taiwan Strait crisis maker.” Amid rising tensions, Taiwan’s coastguard has reported security breaches from the mainland. Lai also noted progress in ongoing tariff talks with the U.S., signaling diplomatic engagement on multiple fronts.

The U.S. is ramping up its anti-China stance with new visa restrictions targeting Chinese students. Senator Marco Rubio revealed plans to revoke visas of students with alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party or sensitive academic fields. China has condemned the move, accusing the U.S. of politicizing education and harming international cooperation. With Chinese students making up the second-largest international group in the U.S., these policies could disrupt academic institutions and worsen U.S.-China relations. The State Department has also paused new interviews and expanded social media screening for applicants.

Harvard University is at the center of a growing political and national security firestorm. The Trump administration has moved to revoke the school’s ability to enroll foreign students, accusing the Ivy League giant of harboring Chinese Communist Party influence and fostering antisemitism. Nearly 7,000 international students could be forced to leave — a fifth of them from China — if the policy moves forward.

In a dramatic escalation, President Trump has stripped Harvard University of its SEVP status, effectively banning international student enrollment. Nearly 7,000 students face deportation unless they transfer within 72 hours. The move, tied to demands to end DEI initiatives and Crack down on antisemitism, freezes $2.2 billion in federal funding. Homeland Security cites Harvard’s alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party. University officials call it political retaliation, warning of devastating impacts on research, global collaboration, and academic freedom.
