Why China Offered to Provide Taiwan with Earthquake Aid, and Why Taiwan Swiftly Rejected It?
Taiwanese authorities have yet to estimate how much it will cost to recover from the damage caused by the massive, deadly earthquake that struck the island on Wednesday, which collapsed buildings, felled water towers, and caused landslides that damaged roads and other infrastructure. Repair costs for the last earthquake of such a scale—in 1999 and albeit much bigger—reached near $10 billion. A quarter century ago, Taiwan rejected help from its estranged neighbor in China, and when an offer to h...

The world is running out of time to preserve the pandemic pact
Countries thrashing out a historic agreement on tackling future pandemics have one month to bridge their differences because failure cannot be an option, the negotiations co-chair told AFP.
