Fox News: Taiwanese foreign minister claims China repeating 'origin of the second World War'
Taiwanese officials, including Foreign Minister Joseph Wu, are concerned that China's aggression could lead to a third World War. They fear that China is repeating mistakes from the lead-up to the Second World War. Wu also speculates that China pushing the conflict too far could accidentally spark an irreversible conflict. Despite being an island off the coast of mainland China, Taiwan has declared itself independent and continues to govern separate from the People's Republic of China. The Chinese military frequently tests Taiwan's air defense zone, but Taiwan finds hope in the Ukrainian conflict and the bravery of their soldiers. The recent trip to China by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has raised questions about the United States' commitment to Taiwan. While the U.S. does not officially support Taiwan's independence, they do expect a peaceful resolution to cross-strait differences and commit to ensuring Taiwan's ability to defend itself.

Forbes: Proposed NCAA Rule Changes Likely To Lead To New Antitrust Challenges
The NCAA is proposing new rules that limit the time period for college athletes to enter the transfer portal and restrict certain forms of NIL collectives. These rules may be challenged under federal antitrust laws as a limit to the free movement of labor and a restraint of athlete compensation. The NCAA's justifications for these rules, such as maintaining competitive balance and preventing ruinous competition, seem weak in light of recent evidence. Antitrust law is about preserving free-market outcomes, and NCAA member colleges have alternative ways to limit athlete pay or movement. The NCAA's return to curtail athlete compensation and movement without reasonable antitrust defenses puts them at high risk of antitrust scrutiny and liability.

The Epoch Times: Unplugged: Electric Vehicles
While many have embraced the idea of electric vehicles (EVs), there are several aspects that need to be considered. EVs have a long history dating back to the late 1800s, but the widespread availability and affordability of gasoline-powered vehicles led to their dominance. Additionally, EVs have environmental costs and battery issues that need to be addressed. These factors, along with the need for an overhaul of electrical grids and the continued demand for internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, have made some manufacturers, like Toyota, cautious about fully embracing EV production.

Forbes: Netflix’s ‘The Witcher’ Half-Binge Release Is The Worst Of Both Worlds
Netflix's decision to split the seasons of popular shows like The Witcher is frustrating for viewers. The month-long break between episodes leaves us disconnected and often forgetting what happened.
