International Booker Prize: Taiwan Travelogue just won the 2026 International Booker Prize in London—making it the first novel originally written in Mandarin Chinese to take the top honor. Author Yáng Shuāng-zǐ and translator Lin King split the £50,000 prize, with judges praising the book’s “double feat” as both romance and sharp postcolonial story set in 1930s Japan-occupied Taiwan. Defense Drills: Taiwan also staged a fresh off-base exercise: six U.S.-made M1A2T Abrams tanks simulated defending Hsinchu Air Base after a scenario of seizure. Politics & Security: The week’s backdrop remains the Trump–Xi fallout, with Taiwan’s leaders reiterating sovereignty and “status quo” commitments as Washington and Beijing trade warnings. Culture Spotlight: The win is already turning into a travel-and-literature moment—food, language, and colonial memory are now the headline.
