The government announced that all subsidy amounts will increase by an average of 23.5 percent, and about 890,000 people are expected to benefit.
The Ministry of Health and Welfare said the new policy will officially take effect in July this year. Under the new plan, the living allowance for low-income households can reach up to 25,168 NT dollars per month. The government will also review the consumer price index every two years. If the CPI grows by three percent, the subsidy amount will be adjusted to strengthen financial support for disadvantaged groups.

Iran Proposes Three Ceasefire Conditions, Demands Compensation from the United States and Israel
U.S. President Donald Trump said at a campaign rally in Kentucky that the U.S. military achieved victory in the first hour of its military action against Iran. He also said that U.S. forces destroyed several Iranian minelayer and military aircraft.
On the same day, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian proposed three ceasefire conditions for the first time. These conditions include asking the United States to recognize Iran’s legitimate rights, demanding war compensation, and asking the international community to provide security guarantees.

Iran has continued launching drone attacks on some areas, and the United Nations Security Council has passed a resolution condemning the related actions.

第五則:愛打斷他人急著爭論?反駁型人格背後真相解析
「反駁型人格」並非正式心理學特質,而是一種出於自我保護的防衛機制,此類人常打斷他人並急於糾正,背後多與不安或缺乏被傾聽經驗有關,也可能因長期處於高壓環境而過度反應。
面對愛反駁者,較有效的方法是先穩定情緒,理解對方反應並非針對個人,透過接納與提問降低防備,同時設立清楚界線,若自身有此傾向,也應在衝突時覺察情緒並調整表達方式。
Why Some People Always Argue Back? The Psychology Behind Contradictory Personality
“Contradictory personality” is not an official psychological trait but a self-protective defense mechanism. People with this tendency often interrupt others and quickly try to correct them. This behavior is usually linked to insecurity, a lack of experience being listened to, or long periods in high pressure environments.
When dealing with people who often argue back, a more effective approach is to stay calm and understand that their reaction is not directed at you personally. Showing acceptance and asking questions can reduce their defensiveness while setting clear boundaries. If you have the same tendency, it is important to notice your emotions during conflict and adjust how you express yourself.
Let’s wrap up today’s episode. We’ve learned about some important events happening around the world.
Taiwan approved a 23.5 percent increase in six major social welfare subsidies, benefiting about 890,000 people starting in July.
Trump claimed early victory against Iran, while Iran proposed three ceasefire conditions as tensions in the Middle East continue.
Czech police arrested a Chinese reporter in Prague on suspicion of spying for China, and the case is expected to go to court soon.
MEGA PX MART is using its Qingpu store as a testbed for a next-generation hypermarket, signaling a strategic shift toward a hybrid retail model after fifteen years without new hypermarket openings.
Experts explain that people who often argue back may be using a self protection response, and calm listening and clear boundaries can help improve communication.
