- A live broadcast of CBS Evening News, anchored by Tony Dokoupil from Taipei, Taiwan, was abruptly cut short after a cameraman suffered a medical emergency on set.
- During the broadcast, a dull thud was heard, and Dokoupil, who was discussing China, paused to ask if someone was okay before saying there was a medical emergency and they were calling a doctor.
- The feed then switched to B-roll footage and later to CBS News chief correspondent Matt Gutman in the studio, who signed off for Dokoupil before an update confirmed the cameraman is "okay and recovering."
- Dokoupil was reporting from Taipei, over 1,000 miles from Beijing, where President Trump's state visit was unfolding, reportedly due to his inability to obtain a visa for China.
- From Taiwan, Dokoupil was covering the significant geopolitical tensions between China and Taiwan, specifically addressing the question of whether China, under Xi Jinping, might attempt to take over Taiwan.
