Taiwan: Taiwan has strongly condemned China's new law, viewing it as an expansion of threats and intimidation against its people and other nations. The law increases risks for Taiwanese traveling abroad and raises concerns about potential legal actions against them by China.

United Nations: A United Nations study warns that higher energy prices will impact almost a billion people in poorer countries, forcing tradeoffs between energy bills and public services.
