FM touts increase in US state engagement
Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung is touting an increase in U-S state engagement
in Taiwan.

Speaking at reception hosted by the American State Offices Association in
Taipei, Lin said there has been a significant increase in engagement from U-S
state governments ..

… as more representative offices are opening in Taiwan and a growing number
of trade missions (貿易代表團) are visiting the country.

According to Lin, there were currently 26 U-S state and territorial offices
in Taiwan, over half of which opened or reopened in the last three years -
while Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Idaho opened offices this year.

The foreign minister says he believes the trend reflects the building
momentum between Taiwan and American state governments.


Dust storm in China to worsen Taiwan's air quality from today
And,
The Ministry of Environment says a dust storm in Inner Mongolia is expected
to worsen Taiwan's air quality today and is advising the public to reduce
(減少) outdoor activities and wear face masks.

According to the ministry, pollutants carried from Inner Mongolia and the
Shandong-Shanghai corridor by monsoon winds are expected to push PM2.5
readings in northern Taiwan to 30 to 50 micrograms per cubic meter this
morning …

…. rising to between 100 to 150 micrograms per cubic meter in the afternoon.

The center and south are set to be affected from the afternoon through to the
evening.

The air quality is expected to improve to a "good" or "moderate" level by
Saturday.

Sudan Rejects Mediators' Ceasefire Proposal
Sudan’s top general has rejected a ceasefire proposal from U.S.-led
mediators, calling it “the worst yet.”

The proposal aimed to halt a devastating (毀滅性的) war that has gripped
Sudan for over 30 months.

General Abdel-Fattah Burhan accused the mediators of being “biased
(有偏見的)”.

Sudan plunged into chaos in April 2023 due to a power struggle between the
military and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.

The conflict has killed at least 40,000 people and created a massive (大量的)
humanitarian crisis.

The mediators, known as the Quad, comprise the U.S., Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and
the UAE, and have been working for over two years to end the fighting.
