Kaohsiung

The provided articles do not directly mention Kaohsiung. Instead, they focus on two separate events: Blackpink's concerts in Hong Kong and the deployment of a Chinese PLA drone near Pratas Island (Dongsha Island), which is administered by Taiwan. The Blackpink article highlights Rosé's engagement with local Hong Kong culture through food. The drone incidents are newsworthy because they represent an escalation of tensions between mainland China and Taiwan. The PLA's actions are interpreted by some analysts as a 'salami-slicing' strategy aimed at testing Taiwan's defenses and asserting China's sovereignty claims over the island. The PLA defends the drone flight as routine training within China's airspace. The drone flights near Pratas Island are relevant because they occur within Taiwan's claimed airspace and contribute to ongoing geopolitical tensions in the region.
