Denmark plans to seize valuables from asylum seekers
Denmark's center-right government moves to require asylum-seekers to hand over items above 1500 dollars to cover housing and food costs during processing. The proposal, facing rights groups' criticism, aims to deter migrants while matching welfare rules for Danes. Parliament expected to pass after amendments raising keepable item values, with critics warning it harms refugees and could breach international rights.

Tsai Ing-wen elected Taiwan's first female president
Taiwan elected Tsai Ing-wen as its first female president Saturday. Her pro independence party won a national legislature majority, defeating the China-friendly Nationalist party led by Eric Chu. Voters fear economic threat from China and oppose Beijing's unification demands. The result unsettles China and may limit Taipei's diplomatic allies.
