Taiwan charges five men over plot to run over comedian for his Xi Jinping jokes

Person named ‘K’ from China paid five defendants to injure Huang Yi-hao, New Taipei prosecutors say Taiwanese prosecutors have charged five men over a plot to ram a car into a comedian who made fun of the Chinese Communist party and Xi Jinping. Taiwan has repeatedly accused China of transnational repression to silence critics on the self-governed island, which Beijing claims as its territory and has vowed to take by force if necessary.

How Much Do Rejected Loads REALLY Cost Shippers?

Discover how new Sonar indices are revolutionizing freight cost transparency. Shippers can now accurately track the real premiums paid for rejected loads and understand escalating contract rates. This essential data helps you optimize routing guides and budget for backup coverage, turning estimates into actionable insights. FreightWaves’ Sonar on Thursday released three truckload dataset groups that put hard numbers on routing guide failures, giving shippers a market benchmark for what backup coverage actually costs. The indices — Routing Guide Premiums, Routing Guide Acceptance Share, and Contract Rate Change Direction — update daily on a seven-day rolling average and measure shipper-to-provider costs, not carrier operating costs or broker margins.
