Alarms ring in Taipei as Beijing activates another Taiwan Strait flight route
Beijing's sudden activation of another civilian air route near the Taiwan Strait's unofficial median line has renewed alarm in Taipei, with defence experts and lawmakers warning the move could raise the risk of miscalculation in an already tense air corridor. Advertisement The mainland's Civil Aviation Administration activated the last of three branches off the M503 north-south flight path through the strait on Sunday. The M503 and its offshoots were established in 2015 to connect various cities along the mainland's east coast. Two of the branches were activated last year and the third, the W121, on Sunday. At its closest point, the M503 route lies just 4.2 nautical miles (7.8km) from the unofficial line dividing Taiwan and mainland China. The administration, which made the decision without consulting Taipei, said the 'technical adjustment [was meant] to alleviate air traffic pressure and improve safety'. Advertisement 'Previous changes to the route have improved the operation of cross-strait flights and further facilitated personnel exchanges across the Taiwan Strait,' the administration said.

Chinese power bank maker suspends production after defects trigger recall, aviation ban
One of China's biggest portable power bank makers has suspended production for at least six months and closed its stores on major Chinese e-commerce platforms after a massive recall of its products and the decision by the country's civil aviation authority to ban unlicensed power banks on flights. Shenzhen-based Romoss Technology, which sells its products in dozens of countries around the world, notified its employees that the company would suspend operations for six months starting on Monday, according to a report by Chinese media outlet Jiemian on Sunday. Meanwhile, its online shops on e-commerce platforms Taobao, and Pinduoduo have been taken offline. Products listed on websites serving overseas clients, including Temu, were also offline as of Monday. Taobao is operated by Alibaba Group Holding, which owns the South China Morning Post. The future of Romoss was thrown into uncertainty after its products were found to have serious defects that could lead to fires. On June 16, the company recalled nearly 500,000 portable chargers from three models due to problems with battery cells manufactured between June 5, 2023, and July 31, 2024. Anker last month recalled over 712,000 units across seven power bank models. Photo: Handout
