Meanwhile, Taiwan's Vice President Hsiao Bi-khim reaffirmed the government's firm commitment to national security and regional stability on Friday, amid rising Chinese threats and intensifying geopolitical tensions, Taipei Times reported.
Speaking before dozens of foreign correspondents and foreign office representatives in Taipei, Hsiao emphasised that Taiwan continues to navigate one of the world's most complex and contested regions. "Taiwan does not live in a vacuum," she said. "We operate at the centre of one of the world's most dynamic and contested geopolitical environments," Taipei Times quoted her as saying.
Hsiao said pressure from China, through military provocations, gray-zone warfare, and economic coercion, has only intensified since President William Lai took office in May 2024. She described China's behaviour as "aggressive military posturing" and "counterproductive," warning that Beijing's efforts to infiltrate and divide Taiwanese society directly undermine the cross-strait status quo.
According to Taipei Times, the Vice President outlined Taiwan's multi-layered response to rising threats. "To deter these risks, we are reforming and integrating our national defence strategy, rooted not only in military modernisation, but also in the resilience of our entire society," she said.

Asian shares mixed as Wall Street rally lifts US stocks to fresh records
Stock markets in Asia were mixed on Monday after US stocks rose to more records as they closed out another winning week. US futures and oil prices were higher ahead of trade talks in Stockholm between US and Chinese officials. European futures rose after the European Union forged a deal with the Trump administration calling for 15 per cent tariffs on most exports to the US. The agreement announced after President Donald Trump and European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen met briefly at Trump's Turnberry golf course in Scotland staves off far higher import duties on both sides that might have sent shock waves through economies around the globe. Tokyo's Nikkei 225 index lost 1 per cent to 41,056.81 after doubts surfaced over what exactly the trade truce between Japan and US President Donald Trump, especially the $550 billion pledge of investment in the US by Japan, will entail. Terms of the deal are still being negotiated and nothing has been formalized in writing, said an official, who insisted on anonymity to detail the terms of the talks. The official suggested the goal was for a $550 billion fund to make investments at Trump's direction. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index gained 0.4 per cent to 25,490.45 while the Shanghai Composite index lost 0.2 per cent to 3,587.25. Taiwan's Taiex rose 0.3 per cent. CK Hutchison, a Hong Kong conglomerate that's selling ports at the Panama Canal, said it may seek a Chinese investor to join a consortium of buyers in a move that might please Beijing but could also bring more U.S. scrutiny to a geopolitically fraught deal. CK Hutchison's shares fell 0.6 per cent on Monday in Hong Kong. Elsewhere in Asia, South Korea's Kospi was little changed at 3,195.49, while Australia's S&P/ASX 200 rose 0.3 per cent to 8,688.40. India's Sensex slipped 0.1 per cent. Markets in Thailand were closed for a holiday. On Friday, the S&P 500 rose 0.4 per cent to 6,388.64, setting an all-time for the fifth time in a week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 0.5 per cent to 44,901.92, while the Nasdaq composite added 0.2 per cent, closing at 21,108.32 to top its own record. Deckers, the company behind Ugg boots and Hoka shoes, jumped 11.3 per cent after reporting stronger profit and revenue for the spring than analysts expected. Its growth was particularly strong outside the United States, where revenue soared nearly 50 per cent. But Intell fell 8.5 per cent after reporting a loss for the latest quarter, when analysts were looking for a profit. The struggling chipmaker also said it would cut thousands of jobs and eliminate other expenses as it tries to turn around its fortunes. Intel, which helped launch Silicon Valley as the U.S. technology hub, has fallen behind rivals like Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices while demand for artificial intelligence chips soars. Companies are under pressure to deliver solid growth in profits to justify big gains for their stock prices, which have rallied to record after record in recent weeks. Wall Street has zoomed higher on hopes that President Donald Trump will reach trade deals with other countries that will lower his stiff proposed tariffs, along with the risk that they could cause a recession and drive up inflation. Trump has recently announced deals with Japan and the Philippines, and the next big deadline is looming on Friday, Aug 1. Apart from trade talks, this week will also feature a meeting by the Federal Reserve on interest rates. Trump again on Thursday lobbied the Fed to cut rates, which he has implied could save the US government money on its debt repayments. Fed Chair Jerome Powell has said he is waiting for more data about how Trump's tariffs affect the economy and inflation before making a move. The widespread expectation on Wall Street is that the Fed will wait until September to resume cutting interest rates. In other dealings early Monday, US benchmark crude oil gained 24 cents to $65.40 per barrel. Brent crude, the international standard, also added 24 cents to $67.90 per barrel. The dollar rose to 147.72 Japanese yen from 147.71 yen. The euro slipped to $1.1755 from $1.1758.

US-China set to resume Stockholm talks: From Xi-Trump meet to tariff truce, here's what to expect
Top U.S. and Chinese economic officials are resuming trade talks in Stockholm on Monday, aiming to extend a temporary truce by 90 days and prevent a new round of sharply higher tariffs. With an August 12 deadline approaching, analysts say a short-term pause is more likely than a breakthrough on core economic disputes. Without a deal, U.S. duties could revert to triple-digit levels, posing risks to global supply chains. The talks follow a major U.S.-EU trade agreement on Sunday, in which the European Union accepted a 15% tariff on most of its goods exports to the U.S. and pledged $750 billion in energy purchases and $600 billion in investments. No such deal is expected from the U.S.-China side.

We really sort of made a deal with China, but we'll see how that goes,' said President Donald Trump on Sunday, before announcing the EU agreement. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like You might be interested Undo Here's what to expect from US-China meet According to a South China Morning Post report, both sides may agree to hold off on new tariffs or export restrictions for three more months. The U.S. Treasury declined to comment. Meanwhile, Financial Times reported that Washington has paused new export curbs on tech products to avoid disrupting negotiations, though Reuters could not verify that independently. Earlier discussions in Geneva and London focused on reversing retaliatory tariffs and restoring trade in rare earth minerals and AI chips. However, structural issues—such as China's export-led model and U.S. tech controls—remain unresolved. Live Events Also Read: US, China to launch new talks on tariff truce extension, easing path for Trump-Xi meeting 'I'd be surprised if there is an early harvest on some of these things but an extension of the ceasefire for another 90 days seems to be the most likely outcome,' Reuters quoted Scott Kennedy of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, as saying. There is also speculation about a possible Trump-Xi meeting in late October. Sun Chenghao of Tsinghua University said such a summit could support mutual concessions. 'The future prospect of the heads of state summit is very beneficial to the negotiations because everyone wants to reach an agreement or pave the way in advance,' Sun said. Beijing is expected to push for easing of U.S. tariffs and tech export controls. China argues that fulfilling past U.S. purchase commitments would help reduce the $295.5 billion trade deficit recorded in 2024.

Donald Trump tariffs: Which countries have made trade deals & which are still waiting? Top things to know
With a couple of days left before a major tariff hike kicks in, the US is in a flurry of trade negotiations with several key economies aiming to avoid steep new duties. The new US tariffs are set to take effect on August 1 after being delayed twice. Some will go from 10% up to 50%, based on how much a country sells to the US. Donald Trump has repeatedly vowed to protect the 'dominance of the dollar' in his speeches, while mocking the Brics group on July 19. Over the past week, Washington has made agreements with the European Union, Britain, Japan, Vietnam, Indonesia and the Philippines. Other negotiations remain in their final stages. India remains hopeful despite delays Commerce minister Piyush Goyal said Thursday he was 'optimistic' about reaching an agreement to avoid a 26 per cent duty. Goyal said there were 'not any sticking points' in trade talks and clarified that H-1B visa rules had not come up, according to Bloomberg Television. EU secures relief, others still in talks On Sunday, the US and the European Union signed a new deal that limits tariff levels on European exports to 15 per cent. This duty is far lower than the 30 per cent previously threatened by US President Donald Trump. Meanwhile, attention has shifted to nations still on the edge of Trump's tariff regime. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas Prices In Dubai Might Be More Affordable Than You Think Villas In Dubai | Search Ads Get Quote Undo South Korea under pressure after Japan's success Seoul is scrambling to reach its own deal with Washington after Tokyo secured an agreement. 'Japan's success has amped up the pressure for South Korea,' a government source was quoted as saying to news agency AFP. Seoul may offer more than $100 billion in investment, possibly involving tech giants like Samsung and Hyundai, according to a report cited by AFP. The government has not confirmed this, but officials have highlighted proposals to boost cooperation in areas such as shipbuilding, semiconductors and batteries. National security advisor Wi Sung-lak said talks are now in 'the final and most crucial phase of negotiations' to stop the proposed 25 per cent tariffs. Taiwan working 'almost 24 hours' to seal deal Taiwanese officials are also racing against the clock. Premier Cho Jung-tai confirmed that his team is 'working hard' to protect the island's economic interests. vice president Hsiao Bi-khim added that negotiators were 'working almost 24 hours a day to achieve trade balance and Taiwan's industrial interests.' No clear path for Canada and Mexico Canada and Mexico were initially exempt from Trump's April tariffs but still face duties outside their North American trade pact. Mexico's rate could rise to 30 per cent on August 1, while Canada may see a jump to 35 per cent. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said she is prepared to speak directly with Trump to avert the hike. However, Trump said on Friday, 'there was no deal with Canada so far.' Brazil faces political hurdle Brazil may be hit hardest, with the US threatening a 50 per cent tariff on goods including planes and grain. Though the US holds a trade surplus with Brazil, Trump openly linked the decision to politics. He accused Brazilian courts of pursuing a 'witch hunt' against former president Jair Bolsonaro. Furthermore, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has vowed that the nation will not take orders from Trump.
