Taiwan watches China as China and the world watch Ukraine

China is closely watching the events in Ukraine to evaluate its own strategy towards Taiwan, the island's foreign minister has warned.
"When we watch the events in Ukraine evolving ... we are also watching very carefully what China may do to Taiwan," Joseph Wu said during a press conference Monday.
Some analysts have pointed to parallels between Russia's designs on Ukraine and fears over the future of Taiwan -- a self-governing island democracy that Beijing claims as its own and has not ruled out taking by force.

Washington (AP) — The Justice Department is dropping a lawsuit that it filed against White House trade adviser Peter Navarro, a case in which he was accused of using an unofficial email account for government work and wrongfully retaining presidential records during the first Trump administration, according to a Tuesday court filing.

In early April, President Donald Trump approved millions of dollars in assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for Virginia, which was reeling from devastating winter storms and flooding. Gov. Glenn Youngkin, a Republican, issued a press release touting the president’s decision to sign his disaster declaration request, and local news outlets began reporting that funding would soon be flowing to the state.
