A first-term lawmaker who was blacklisted by Beijing over his alleged support for Taiwanese independence will challenge Taipei’s popular incumbent mayor in the local elections later this year. The ruling Democratic Progressive Party’s decision to nominate Puma Shen Pao-yang, an outspoken critic of Beijing whose political identity has been built around his calls to strengthen the island’s security, came as a surprise to many.

In Jakarta last month, many May Day demonstrations took place, but two stood out as reflections of the divisions among Indonesia’s trade unions.

To see why Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) is an artificial intelligence (AI) company, it's necessary to appreciate what sets it apart from companies such as Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) and why it could be a longer-term winner if the AI bubble bursts. History shows we might be in an AI bubble, but it also suggests that many people will call the top prematurely. Let's put it this way: Two long-term investors can agree that the price of, say, oil is in a bubble when it's at $60. The price reaches $120, the bubble bursts, then falls to $80, only to rise inexorably afterward.

Malaysian police have completed a probe into two cases involving former anti-graft chief Azam Baki and referred the matter to the Attorney-General’s Chambers, according to the New Straits Times.

Azam and the MACC strongly denied the allegations in the reports. Read More: Who’s Watching Malaysia’s Anti-Corruption Watchdog?
