China is quietly redefining its relationship with Taiwan as the US is embroiled in global conflicts. First: a historic meeting with Taiwan’s opposition leader, Cheng Li-wun, ahead of May’s planned meeting between Xi Jinping and Donald Trump.

While it’s easy to buy raw milk at popular grocery stores like Erewhon in California, other states have made it difficult to buy or sell it. The CDC recommends that all milk be pasteurized, but there are over 40 bills in 18 states that would make it more accessible. So what’s going on here?
