Taipei, June 9 (CNA) Taiwan s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) on Wednesday commended the United States Senate for passing an expansive bill to counter China s growing economic influence.
The U.S. Innovation and Competition Act, which passed the Senate with a 68-32 vote on Tuesday, also demonstrates bipartisan support among American lawmakers for stronger Taiwan-U.S. ties, MOFA said.
Aimed at bolstering the U.S. competitive edge against China, the bill paves the way for an investment of US$250 billion in scientific and technological innovations such as semiconductor manufacturing and advanced wireless technologies.
Taipei, June 9 (CNA) The Air Force Command Headquarters said on Wednesday six of its personnel tested positive for COVID-19 recently and were placed in isolation for treatment.

Differences between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait should be resolved through constructive dialogue and interaction, rather than unilateral intimidation by one side, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) said yesterday in response to remarks by Chinese Minister of Foreign Affairs Wang Yi (王毅) about Taiwan.
Wang told a news conference in Beijing on Sunday that Taiwan was an indivisible part of China and that the two sides of the Strait would “certainly be reunified” one day.
