China's aircraft carrier group enters Japanese waters, triggers alarm
A Chinese aircraft carrier group visited Japanese waters over the weekend before leaving to perform fighter jet drills, according to a Taipei Times story. The Liaoning aircraft carrier, two missile destroyers, and one rapid combat supply ship went around 300 km southwest of Japan's easternmost island of Minamitori on Saturday, according to a ministry statement, Taipei Times reports. According to a ministry spokesman, this was the first time a Chinese aircraft carrier approached that portion of Japan's exclusive economic zone (EEZ). "We believe the Chinese military is attempting to improve its operational capability and ability to conduct operations in remote areas," the official stated, as reported by the Taipei Times. China's expanding military power, as well as its deployment of naval and air assets to enforce disputed territorial claims, have alarmed the United States and its Asian-Pacific allies. According to the Taipei Times, Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi told reporters that the government had "conveyed an appropriate message to the Chinese side," but did not specify whether it had submitted a formal protest. Fighter aircraft and helicopters took off and landed on Sunday after the Liaoning and her escorting warships exited Japan's exclusive economic zone, according to a ministry statement. Japan sent its cruiser Haguro to the area to monitor the situation, according to a Taipei Times report. The Liaoning cruised between two southern Japanese islands within the EEZ last month, from the East China Sea to the Pacific, while doing takeoffs and landings on deck, according to the ministry. In September of last year, the carrier sailed between two Japanese islands near Taiwan and entered Japan's contiguous waters, which extend up to 24 nautical miles (44 km) from its shore, according to the Taipei Times. Tokyo deemed the measure "unacceptable" and raised "serious concerns." According to the Taipei Times, a state has the power under international law to regulate natural resources and other commercial activity within its exclusive economic zone.

US to tighten AI chip export curbs to China despite Nvidia CEO's pushback
ANI Washington The Trump administration announced on Wednesday that it will continue its efforts to prevent advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technology from reaching China, dismissing requests from Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang to relax chip export limitations to the country. 'We have great respect for Jensen,' stated Sriram Krishnan, a senior policy adviser for AI at the White House, during a Bloomberg Television interview. 'There remains bipartisan and widespread concern about the potential implications of these GPUs once they are physically in China,'Krishnan said. Though the Trump administration still perceives a security threat from expanding AI chip exports to China, Krishnan acknowledged that he aligns with Huang's perspective that restrictions on a broader array of US trading partners should be reassessed. According to the Taipei Times report, the Trump administration is reversing. It intends to replace an AI diffusion regulation established by former President Joe Biden, which, as Krishnan indicated, resulted in 'GPU haves and GPU have-nots.' 'When it pertains to the rest of the world, we aim for an American AI ecosystem that starts from the GPUs and extends to the models and everything built upon that,' Krishnan remarked. 'On this point, Jensen and I share common ground,' he added. Krishnan's comments followed Huang's strongest public criticism yet regarding the increasing US export restrictions aimed at China, Taipei Times reported.

Taiwan launches counter-offensive against China's ‘Legal Warfare' over UN Resolution 2758
On Wednesday, Somalia's Civil Aviation Authority, as per the report in the Taipei Times, referenced UN Resolution 2758 and Mogadishu's compliance with the 'one China' principle when it prohibited individuals from entering or transiting through the African country using Taiwanese passports or other travel documents issued by Taiwan. Taipei [Taiwan] May 5 (ANI): Taiwan's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Lin Chia-lung, has instructed the initiation of a special project to combat China's 'legal warfare' that misinterprets UN Resolution 2758, according to a foreign affairs official, the Taipei Times reported. The International Air Transport Association's records indicate that holders of Taiwanese passports are barred from entering Somalia or transiting through the country. Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) expressed its objection to this decision and cautioned Taiwanese citizens against travelling to Somalia or Somali land until the Somalian government retracts the announcement, according to the Taipei Times. During a news conference, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed strong approval for Somalia's travel ban on Taiwanese passport holders, indicating that this move solidly demonstrates China's influence behind Somalia's actions to restrict Taiwan. In recent years, Beijing has persistently twisted the interpretation of UN Resolution 2758 to diminish Taiwan's presence on the international stage, they reported, mentioning that last year, the South African government used it as justification to evict Taiwan's representative office from Pretoria Despite this, Taiwan has maintained its position firmly, and with support from other democratic nations, the office continues to operate normally to this day, even after two deadlines for relocation have passed, they noted. In response to Somalia's restrictions, Taipei plans to seek assistance from international entities friendly to Taiwan while also striving to counteract China's efforts to diminish Taiwan's international standing, stated the official, according to the Taipei Times. During a UN Security Council meeting last month, a US representative accused China of misapplying the resolution in its endeavours to isolate Taiwan and of distorting other nations' policies, thus limiting their options, as relayed by the ministry official.
