在關稅方面，美方先前已取消對中方加徵的115%關稅，但仍保留以芬太尼為由的20%關稅，中方希望此次談判能夠進一步解除。專家認為，此次談判將緩解中美緊張關係，穩定全球市場。

On June 9, the United States and China launched the second round of trade negotiations in London, aiming to reduce the risk of conflict between the two nations.

Regarding tariffs, the US previously canceled a 115% tariff on China but maintained a 20% tariff related to the fentanyl issue.

隨著醫療環境持續惡化、人力過勞，多個專科面臨嚴重人力短缺。台灣急診醫學會公共事務委員田知學呼籲政府及民眾正視問題，推動分級醫療減輕急診負擔，避免過度投入醫美等自費項目，導致醫療體系持續崩潰。

Dr. Tian Zhi-xue, from SEM’s Public Affairs Committee,urges the government and the public to confront this issue seriously. He emphasizes the importance of tiered healthcare to reduce the burden on emergency services, rather than focusing on Cosmetic Medicine that require out-of-pocket expenses, to prevent further collapse of the healthcare system.

第五則：1% 規則：控制消費 累積財富的有效方法
1% 規則是由澳洲理財顧問格倫·詹姆斯提出的理財技巧，建議在購買非必需品前，若價格超過年收入的1%，應先停下來等24小時再決定，以避免衝動消費，並促進財富累積。
這個方法特別適合容易衝動購物或缺乏預算概念的人。透過這個簡單的規則，便可以輕鬆管理財務、累積儲蓄。專家也提醒請勿用此規則來合理化非必要的大筆開銷，以免一次花掉更多錢。
The 1% Rule: An Effective Method for Controlling Spending and Accumulating Wealth
The 1% Rule, proposed by Australian financial advisor Glen James, is a budgeting technique that suggests pausing for 24 hours before purchasing non-essential items that cost more than 1% of your annual income. This practice helps prevent impulsive spending and encourages wealth accumulation.
