Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News.
Tai-Ex opening
The Tai-Ex opened down 113-points this morning from Friday's close, at 19,672
on turnover of $9.3-billion N-T.
Shares in Taiwan closed moderately higher after a volatile session Friday,
coming off a fresh intraday high with the main board hitting 20,000 points
for the first time in history.
Contract chipmaker TSMC remained an anchor on the back of the continued
frenzy over artificial intelligence, preventing the broader market from
falling into negative territory when stiff technical resistance arose ahead
of 20,000 points, while the old economy sector largely moved in weakness with
funds squeezed by tech stocks.
Tuvalu prime minister to attend Taiwan presidential inauguration
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that Tuvalu's new Prime Minister
will be attending the inauguration of President-elect Lai Ching-te.
Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister Tien Chung-kwang visited the island nation
last week as part of a delegation.
MOFA said Tien extended an invitation to Prime Minister Feleti Teo, who
accepted.
Tuvalu officials said the Taiwan delegation was the first to visit and
congratulate Tuvalu on its formation (形成) of a new government, and that it
will keep supporting Taiwan's global involvement and strengthen bilateral
ties.

Tibetans in India Protest Against China
Hundreds of Tibetans in exile have held a protest march in New Delhi to
commemorate the 65th Tibetan National Uprising Day against China.
Over 300 protesters gathered near India’s Parliament House and marched .
The protesters carried Tibetan flags and photographs of their spiritual
leader, the Dalai Lama, who has made the Indian hillside town of Dharmsala
his headquarters since fleeing (逃跑) from Tibet after a failed uprising
against Chinese rule in 1959.
India considers Tibet to be part of China, though it hosts the Tibetan exiles.
Saudi Arabia Declares Start of Ramadan

sunrise to sunset, and take part in family gatherings, religious reflection
(深思), and giving.

moon.
