台北市於7月17日舉行城鎮韌性演習，總統賴清德到中山國小視導演練。
On July 17, Taipei City held the Urban Resilience Drill. President Lai Ching-te inspected the exercises at Zhongshan Elementary School.

During his speech, Mayor Chiang Wan-an, in front of President Lai, “No guns pointed at ourselves.” He quoted General MacArthur, saying, “Taiwan is an unsinkable aircraft carrier.”
他強調團結需行動而非口號，也呼籲重視資安及保護國家機密。
He emphasized that unity requires action, not just slogans, and called for greater attention to cybersecurity and the protection of national secrets.
蔣萬安補充，理性的決策者不應讓台灣成為危機熱點。賴清德對此未回應，現場氣氛微妙。

However, Coca-Cola quickly clarified the next day saying that corn syrup is safe and has similar calories to cane sugar, asking consumers not to worry.
外媒指出，可口可樂未明確承認改配方，可能是因為巴西和墨西哥等蔗糖主要來源國將面臨高額關稅，使改用蔗糖困難重重。

卓榮泰表示，此方案恐需舉債約1,014億元，對國家財政造成壓力。
Chuo Jung-tai said the plan may need borrowing NT$101.4 billion, which will put pressure on the country’s finances.
