Taiwan Remains 4th in Global Economic Freedom Index
Taiwan has once again been ranked fourth in the 2024 Index of Economic

Those are then equally weighted and averaged to produce an overall score.
Taiwan scored higher than the global average in all 12 subcategories.
And its overall score of 80, means that Taiwan's economy is categorized as

China Overseas Bloggers Claim Police Investigating Followers
Two prominent Chinese bloggers in exile said that police were investigating
their millions of followers on international social media platforms.
Former state broadcaster CCTV journalist Wang Zhi’an and
artist-turned-dissident (批評政府者) Li Ying said separately that police were
interrogating (審問) their followers, and urged followers to take precautions
such as unfollowing their accounts, changing their usernames, avoiding
Chinese-made phones and preparing to be questioned.
Li shared screenshots of private messages he received from followers over the
past few months, which claimed that police had interrogated individuals, and
that one person had even lost their job.
This comes after a recent leak of documents from I-Soon, a private contractor
linked to China’s top policing agency and other parts of its government,
describing tools used by Chinese police to curb dissent on overseas social
media.
That was the I.C.R.T. news,
