Tai-Ex opening
The Tai-Ex opened up 130-points this morning from yesterday's close, at
21,921 on turnover of 5.6-billion N-T.
The market closed higher on Monday, as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing saw
its share price rebound to hit the 1,000 N-T mark for the first time in three
months.
The overall rise was led by the electronics index - which added 0.75-per cent
during the trading day.
Market watchers say investor attention was centered on T-S-M-C, while other
semiconductor and tech stocks were mixed.
MAC says 3,100 spouses renounce China residency
The Mainland Affairs Council says more than 3,100 spouses from China have
submitted proof of renunciation of their Chinese household registration.
The statement comes after the National Immigration Agency issued a notice to
spouses to submit proof that they had renounced their Chinese household
registration in April.
The notice stated that spouses from China had until June 30 to renounce
(放棄) their Chinese household registration or their Taiwanese household
registration would be revoked.
However, people having difficulties obtaining such a document have been
granted an extension of the deadline or may submit a written affidavit in
lieu of (以…替代) documentation.
A total of 2,000 have so far applied for postponements or submitted an
affidavit.
23 indicted for exporting garbage disguised as plastic waste
The New Taipei District Prosecutors' Office has indicted 23 people for their
roles in exporting garbage disguised as plastic waste.
The prosecutors' office says evidence suggests the fraud ring netted (獲得)
more than 49-million N-T in illicit gains.
According to the indictment, environmental waste management firms collected
general waste and stored it at sites in New Taipei and Changhua County.
The waste was then transported to Kaohsiung, where it was compressed,
repackaged and disguised as plastic waste and then shipped to Southeast Asian
countries such as Malaysia and Vietnam for sale.
The suspects have all been charged with violating the Waste Disposal Act.

Carney: Canada to meet NATO military spending goals by next year
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says, Canada will meet NATO's military
spending goals by early next year.
Carney also said that Canada would diversify defense spending away from the
US.
The announcement means that Canada will achieve NATO's spending target of 2%
of GDP five years earlier than previously planned.
Carney says, Canada's military equipment has aged, and only one out of every
four submarines is seaworthy (適航的).
NATO figures show that Canada is estimated to be spending 1.33% of GDP on
military spending in 2023.
