A two-story building in Taipei has been severely damaged after an adjacent(鄰近的) construction work caused its ground floor to crack and leak yellowish muddy water.
No injuries were reported.
The building are located in an alley off Minquan East Road, near Xingtian Temple M-R-T Station.
Officials say an initial investigation suggests that a breach in the underground diaphragm wall during foundation excavation and retaining operations caused water and sand leakage.
The Taipei City Government says construction work at the site has been suspended due to failure to maintain the safety of adjacent public facilities and buildings, and work will not resume until an improvement plan has been submitted and approved.
The contractor and the supervisor have each been fined 90-thousand N-T.
Citrus taiwanica becomes Taiwan's first patent-protected Indigenous crop
發布於 2026-09-11 11:23:13
Citrus taiwanica has received patent protection covering products derived from the plant and been licensed to a Saisiyat cooperative in Miaoli County.
Citrus taiwanica is a citrus species traditionally used by the Indigenous Saisiyat people.
According to the Forestry and Nature Conservation Agency, the patent covers applications of the plant and products derived from (源自) it, with authorization from the Saisiyat tribe required for their use.
The case marks the first time a traditional Indigenous crop and products derived from it have received patent protection.
The agency says the traditional knowledge underlying the use of the citrus came from the Saisiyat tribe and that technologies and products developed through modern research based on that knowledge should benefit its original holders.
Authorities are insisting that license is not intended to monopolize the plant, but aimed at protecting and preserving the traditional knowledge of the Saisiyat people.

The Iran-backed Houthi rebel group has taken control of Yemen's strategic Red Sea port city of Mokha. Houthi and Yemeni officials confirmed the takeover.
This move could bring them closer to controlling a critical waterway to the Red Sea.
Meanwhile, Yemeni government forces launched airstrikes targeting Houthi reinforcements west of Taiz.
Clashes also continued along Yemen’s western coast.
Mokha had been held by forces aligned with Yemen’s internationally recognized government.
The Houthis have been fighting a civil war with the government since 2014.
The fighting now threatens a fragile (脆弱的) truce that took effect in 2022.
TRUMP'S $5,000 DIVIDEND PLEDGE FACES LEGAL DOUBTS AND BOND MARKET JITTERS
發布於 2026-09-11 11:23:13
AS CRITICS CALL IT A BRIBE US President Donald Trump's pledge to give every American adult five thousand dollars if Republicans hold Congress in the midterm elections could cost more than one-point-two trillion dollars, with no clear plan to pay for it.
Legal experts have questioned whether the president even has the authority to
authorise (授權) such a payment, since the US Constitution requires Congress to
approve government spending.
Nick Harper, our reporter in Washington, says the president has a track
record of floating (提出想法、試探性地提出) similar dividend proposals that have never
been delivered.
