Taiwan's new president has a clear message as he continues difficult balancing act with China
Monday, 20 May 2024 The inauguration of Taiwan's new president, Lai Ching-te, is more about handing over the baton than any dramatic change in policy for the island which is overshadowed by its large and powerful neighbour, China.
Taiwan's new President Lai Ching-te in his inauguration speech calls on China to "cease political and military intimidation" of the self-ruled island, which Beijing sees as part of its territory.
At the Paris Olympics, two boxers, Imane Khelif from Algeria and Lin Yu-ting from Taiwan, have advanced to gold medal matches in their respective weight categories at the Paris Olympics. These athletes have been at the center of controversy due to questions about their eligibility to compete in women's events. The IBA had found XY chromosomes in their DNA last year. Despite this the athletes have reached Finals of Paris Olympics.

In a dramatic turn of events at the Paris Olympics, Bulgarian boxer Svetlana Staneva’s recent loss to Taiwan’s Lin Yu-ting in the women’s 57-kilogram division has ignited a renewed debate over gender eligibility in sports. Staneva, who lost to Lin via unanimous decision, saw the Taiwanese athlete advance to the semifinals and secure at least a bronze medal. However, the match has become the centre of controversy due to the ongoing debate over Lin's gender eligibility. The International Boxing Association (IBA) previously disqualified Lin from the 2023 World Championships, citing a positive test for “XY chromosomes” as the reason for her exclusion. The IBA's decision sparked widespread criticism, with the association defending its stance by asserting that Lin, along with other competitors, had an unfair advantage. This has led to significant controversy surrounding Lin’s participation in the women’s boxing event at the Olympics.
