Last update: 5 hours ago

Taiwan-Japan Economic Security: President Lai Ching-te met a Japan Forum for Strategic Studies and Formosa Republican Association delegation, urging deeper cooperation in trade, high-tech industries and “social resilience” as Taiwan’s 2026 defense spending tops 3% of GDP and Han Kuang drills run through Aug. 14. Defense Budget Watch: Taiwan’s Cabinet is set to propose a record 2027 defense budget of over NT$1.1 trillion (about +16%), pushing spending past NT$1T for the first time and keeping it above 3% of GDP. China Pressure & Air/Sea Activity: Taiwan’s MND reported 1 PLA aircraft sortie and multiple PLAN/official vessels around the island, with one aircraft entering the southwestern ADIZ. Semiconductor Investment: Sony and TSMC plan a ¥1 trillion (about $6.3B) joint image-sensor venture in Kumamoto, targeting mass production as early as 2029 and aiming at smartphone and “physical AI” applications. Biotech Collaboration: HanchorBio signed an MoU with NTU’s Professor Sung-Liang Yu team under the Taiwan Cancer Moonshot to accelerate biomarker-driven precision immunotherapy. Corporate/Market Signals: Taiwan stocks edged higher, led by select financials and tech names, as investors tracked global rate expectations.
