Washington (AFP) - A 23-year-old man from Taiwan has been arrested on charges of selling tens of millions of dollars worth of illegal drugs online through a site on the dark web known as the "Incognito Market." Rui-Siang Lin, also known as "Pharoah," was arrested at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York on Saturday and was to appear in court on Monday, the Justice Department said. "As alleged, Rui-Siang Lin was the architect of Incognito, a $100 million dark web scheme to traffic deadly drugs to the United States and around the world," Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement.

Taiwan’s new President Lai Ching-te in his inauguration speech has urged China to stop its military intimidation against the self-governed island that Beijing claims as its own territory. “My fellow citizens, as we pursue the ideal of peace, we must not harbour any delusions," Lai said

Residents of Taipei largely went about their commutes as normal on Monday morning, aside from those who found their routes blocked by road closures around the Presidential Office Building, where the Democratic Progressive Party’s (DPP) Lai Ching-te was being sworn in as the island’s next leader. Chen Shih-eu, 32, however, was not heading to work. Instead, she was standing on the side of the road outside the nearby 228 Peace Memorial Park watching a livestream of Lai’s inauguration on her phone. “I think it’s a very important moment for Taiwanese, especially for our young generation,” she told ...

China's long-held ambitions to bring Taiwan under its control will remain a threat to global security even if the self-ruling island bows to all Beijing's pre-conditions, President William Lai warned on Monday in his first speech after being sworn in. Lai, who hails from the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), used his inauguration to offer China an opportunity to choose "dialogue over confrontation" under the principles of "parity and unity," with the resumption of tourism and the enrolment of mainland students in Taiwanese institutions as possible first steps. His policy echoes the broad lin...

By Dene-Hern Chen and Amber Wang Taipei (AFP) - Le nouveau président de Taïwan Lai Ching-te a promis d'y défendre la démocratie face aux menaces chinoises et appelé la Chine à "cesser ses intimidations politiques et militaires", après avoir prêté serment lundi. Pékin, qui a dans le passé qualifié M. Lai de "dangereux séparatiste", a répondu quelques heures plus tard en affirmant que, de par ses propos, il avait adressé un "signal dangereux". Dans son discours d'investiture au palais présidentiel de Taipei, Lai Ching-te a évoqué de manière directe le risque de guerre après des années d'une pres...

When Lai Ching-te addressed reporters in the evening of January 13, minutes after his victory in Taiwan’s presidential election was announced, he struck what some analysts and media outlets called a “conciliatory” tone. The next time he steps onto an official stage – one that has been erected in front of the imposing Japanese colonial-era Presidential Office Building – will be to deliver his inaugural address as the island’s leader. Lai will succeed his Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) predecessor Tsai Ing-wen on Monday. Listening carefully to his words will not only be officials in the audi...

Hundreds of people gathered outside the headquarters of Taiwan’s ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) in Taipei on Sunday afternoon to urge incoming president Lai Ching-te to implement political reform and address rising house prices. The rally was organised by the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP), relative newcomers to the democratic island’s political scene. During January’s presidential election, TPP candidate Ko Wen-je appealed to young Taiwanese voters, promising a “third way” between the DPP and traditional opposition party the Kuomintang (KMT). Despite losing to the DPP’s Lai Ching-te, ...

By Sebastien RICCI avec Ludovic EHRET à Pingtan Kinmen (Taïwan) (AFP) - Des rivages de l'île taïwanaise de Kinmen, des touristes prennent en photo à l'horizon la mégapole chinoise de Xiamen, clairement visible de l'autre côté de l'étroit détroit qui les sépare. Pour avoir la meilleure vue sur les gratte-ciel qui étincèlent la nuit, les visiteurs se massent sur une plage d'où jaillissent des pics anti-débarquement rappelant l'époque où Kinmen constituait une ligne de front après la fuite en 1949 des nationalistes à Taïwan. Un territoire que Pékin considère toujours comme un des siens, 75 ans pl...

TAIPEI – The start of Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine was a wake-up call for Taiwan, with the island nation believed to be the next conflict zone in case of Kyiv’s defeat. Two years in, Taiwanese Foreign Minister Joseph Wu still believes that the island’s future is dependent on the war in Ukraine. Officials from across the aisle believe that Beijing will aim to “reunite” the two Chinas by force if Russia succeeds in Ukraine. Trying to avoid a war at all costs, Taipei is attempting to walk a fine line. It defends its sovereignty while attempting to not provoke Beijing – first and foremo...
