Taiwan says 5 Chinese coast guard ships entered waters near front-line islands. Trump, Biden win Michigan primaries but Democrats mount Gaza protest vote.

Five Chinese coast guard ships entered prohibited waters around Taiwan’s prohibited frontline islands Kinmen Monday, but promptly left after a warning from Taiwan’s coast guard. Kuan Bi-Ling, head of Taiwan’s Ocean Affairs Council, who also runs the coast guard, says ‘The political significance is high, which is a form of a declaration of sovereignty.’ (NBC News)

U.S. President Joe Biden easily won the Michigan Democratic primary election Tuesday, but a protest vote by Democrats angry over his support for Israel’s war on Hamas in Gaza exceeded the organizer’s expectations. Donald Trump won Michigan’s Republican primary election by a large margin against his last remaining rival, Nikki Haley. (Reuters)
