Lai talks up four key areas for national security resilience
President Lai Ching-te has highlighted what he says are the key areas of
Taiwan's national security resilience.
Speaking at a forum on national security and economic resilience in Taipei,
Lai said the four key areas of resilience (復原力) cover digital
communications, supply chain security, the economy and whole-of-society
defense.
According to Lai, his administration will also continue taking steps to
improve Taiwan's key technological capacities, due to the island's critical
role in the global semiconductor supply chain.

satellites to ensure uninterrupted digital communications.

SKorea Plane Carrying Workers to Leave Georgia Today
South Korea said that a charter plane carrying South Korean workers will
leave Atlanta, Georgia at noon today local time.
South Korea’s Foreign Ministry made the announcement but gave no further
details.
Airport officials at Atlanta earlier said the return flight with the workers
on board planned for Wednesday had been canceled.
A total of 475 workers, more than 300 of them South Koreans, were rounded up
in the Sept. 4 raid at the battery factory under construction at Hyundai’s
sprawling auto plant.
U.S. authorities released video showing some being shackled with chains
around their hands, ankles and waists (被戴上手銬或腳鐐，被鐵鍊鎖住).
South Korea’s government later said it reached an agreement with the U.S.
for the release of the workers.
