Most of the venues used in the Taipei International Flora Expo, which closed on April 25, will reopen to the public soon after some remodeling, the expo organizers said yesterday.
REMODELED
The remodeled sites will be called “Flora Park” and will comprise three of the most popular expo venues — the Pavilion of the Future, the Pavilion of Dreams and the Pavilion of Angel Life, organizers said.
The park will be open to the public in the middle of July.
EXHIBITIONS REMAIN
The exhibitions at the pavilions will remain the same and an entry fee of NT$100 will be charged for each visitor, the organizers said. Alternatively, a combo ticket for all the pavilions can be obtained for NT$150, they said.
Meanwhile, a Taiwan Pavilion that was relocated from last year’s Shanghai World Expo will open on the second floor of the Pavilion of Future in September, the organizers said.
OUT OF FASHION
Except for the Pavilion of New Fashion, which is owned by the Far Eastern Group and will be removed from the Flora Park in August, all the other pavilions will be used by the Taipei City Government for various purposes, the organizers said.
The Expo Dome, for example, is being used as the venue for a five-day Taipei Top Chef Competition that began yesterday, the organizers said.
BUSES
Most of the free shuttle buses that served the expo routes will be pulled from service, the organizers said, but the original Expo Bus Line 1 route will continue regular services as the renamed Red 50.
Former Czech Republic-based Taiwanese researcher Cheng Yu-chin (鄭宇欽) has been sentenced to seven years in prison on espionage-related charges, China’s Ministry of State Security announced yesterday. China said Cheng was a spy for Taiwan who “masqueraded as a professor” and that he was previously an assistant to former Cabinet secretary-general Cho Jung-tai (卓榮泰). President-elect William Lai (賴清德) on Wednesday last week announced Cho would be his premier when Lai is inaugurated next month. Today is China’s “National Security Education Day.” The Chinese ministry yesterday released a video online showing arrests over the past 10 years of people alleged to be
THE HAWAII FACTOR: While a 1965 opinion said an attack on Hawaii would not trigger Article 5, the text of the treaty suggests the state is covered, the report says NATO could be drawn into a conflict in the Taiwan Strait if Chinese forces attacked the US mainland or Hawaii, a NATO Defense College report published on Monday says. The report, written by James Lee, an assistant research fellow at Academia Sinica’s Institute of European and American Studies, states that under certain conditions a Taiwan contingency could trigger Article 5 of NATO, under which an attack against any member of the alliance is considered an attack against all members, necessitating a response. Article 6 of the North Atlantic Treaty specifies that an armed attack in the territory of any member in Europe,
LIKE FAMILY: People now treat dogs and cats as family members. They receive the same medical treatments and tests as humans do, a veterinary association official said The number of pet dogs and cats in Taiwan has officially outnumbered the number of human newborns last year, data from the Ministry of Agriculture’s pet registration information system showed. As of last year, Taiwan had 94,544 registered pet dogs and 137,652 pet cats, the data showed. By contrast, 135,571 babies were born last year. Demand for medical care for pet animals has also risen.

In 2022, the nation had 3,077 pediatricians. As of last
XINJIANG: Officials are conducting a report into amending an existing law or to enact a special law to prohibit goods using forced labor Taiwan is mulling an amendment prohibiting the importation of goods using forced labor, similar to the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) passed by the US Congress in 2021 that imposed limits on goods produced using forced labor in China’s Xinjiang region. A government official who wished to remain anonymous said yesterday that as the US customs law explicitly prohibits the importation of goods made using forced labor, in 2021 it passed the specialized UFLPA to limit the importation of cotton and other goods from China’s Xinjiang Uyghur region. Taiwan does not have the legal basis to prohibit the importation of goods
