AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoPride and Politics: About 150,000 people joined Taipei’s Pride parade Saturday, where Mayor Chiang Wan-an faced protests over a police raid on a gay bar earlier this month. The event came as Taiwan’s Nov. 28 local elections draw near. Election Watch: Chiang and DPP challenger Puma Shen clashed in a televised Taipei debate over housing, childcare, schools and transport. Taiwan’s security bureau is also investigating suspected China-linked cyberattacks on Shen’s campaign. Cross-Strait Tensions: Taiwan accused China’s Coast Guard of harassing shipping during a patrol off the island’s east coast, a route officials see as vital to wartime supply lines. Economy: Taiwan’s third-quarter GDP grew 14.36% year on year, its fastest pace in 48 years, but AI-related market jitters helped drive the Taiex sharply lower. Regional Pressure: Pakistan reversed a brief ban on Taiwanese airlines using its airspace, after Taiwan said the restriction appeared linked to Beijing’s pressure.
