Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News.
Tai-Ex opening

MOEA announces tech export rules over South Africa office dispute
The Ministry of Economic Affairs has announced new export controls on 47
products shipped to South Africa.
The products include integrated circuits, chips and memory.
The measure is in response to South Africa's repeated downgrading and
renaming of Taiwan's representative offices in the country.
The government has previously said that move is being driven by political
pressure from Beijing intended to reduce Taiwan's standing internationally.
According to the economics ministry, it is now amending (修改) regulations
covering exports from free trade ports so that 47 designated products bound
for South Africa must first obtain approval.
Taiwan and UK sign MOU to boost space industry cooperation
The Taiwan Space Agency has signed a memorandum of understanding with the
UK-based Satellite Applications Catapult to expand collaboration (合作) on
satellite technologies.
The agreement was signed by space agency director-general Wu Zong-xin and and
applications catapult director John Abbot during the UK-Taiwan Space
Roundtable.
Wu is describing the five-year M-O-U as the result of years of trust-building
and exchanges between to the two entities and will pave the way for future
joint initiatives.
While Abbott says it will will open new opportunities for businesses in both
markets, particularly in in-orbit services and environmental monitoring.
Trump attacks UN in General Assembly speech
US President Donald Trump has delivered a scathing (嚴厲的) attack of
globalism at the United Nations General Assembly in New York CIty.
In a lengthy speech he told global leaders their countries are being ruined
by immigration and questioned the UN's purpose.
Toni Waterman at the UN in New York says Trump also targeted immigration and
climate initiatives.
Canada on TikTok Efforts to Keep Underage Children Out
Canadian privacy authorities say TikTok’s efforts to keep children off the
platform and prevent the collection and use of their sensitive personal
information are “inadequate” but the company is taking steps to address
concerns.
The country's federal privacy commissioner says TikTok must do more to keep
underage children off its platform and must better explain its data
collection practices, especially to youth.
The platform is not for those under the age of 13.
The commissioner says TikTok has agreed to enhance underage assurance methods
to keep underage users off the platform and to strengthen privacy
communications so that users understand how their data is being used.
Last year, the Canadian government said it won’t block access to the popular
video-sharing app but ordered the dissolution (解散) of its Canadian business
after a national security review of the Chinese company behind it.
That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _____.
