The Supreme Court has refused to issue an interim order on a writ petition challenging the appointment of Sushila Karki as the Prime Minister.

Taiwan’s foreign minister said on Nov 5 that China has “added a lot of conditions” to its attendance at 2026’s Apec summit in the Chinese city of Shenzhen and gone back on a commitment to allow “equal” participation, Reuters reported.

The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) is one of the only international bodies Chinese-claimed Taiwan is a member of, and next November’s summit will come as relations between Taipei and Beijing have plummeted amid a stepped-up Chinese military pressure campaign against the island.

Taiwan says it had been promised by China in 2024 the right to “equal participation” and that the safety of its people attending would be guaranteed, according to Reuters.

Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor of New York on Tuesday, capping a stunning ascent for the 34-year-old, far-left state lawmaker, who promised to transform city government to restore power to the working class and fight back against a hostile Trump administration, Associated Press reported.

In a victory for the Democratic party’s progressive wing, Mamdani defeated former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa. Mamdani must now navigate the unending demands of America’s biggest city and deliver on ambitious — skeptics say unrealistic — campaign promises.

With his commanding win, the democratic socialist will etch his place in history as the city’s first Muslim mayor, the first of South Asian heritage and the first born in Africa. He will also become New York’s youngest mayor in more than a century when he takes office on Jan. 1, according to Associated Press.
