Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News.
TSMC Boosts Taiwan Stocks Above Key Level
Taiwan stocks are up this morning, with the TAIEX index jumping over 350
points to 22-thousand-614, recovering key quarterly and six-month averages.
The rally was led by TSMC, which climbed back above $1,000 NT, rising $24 NT
to $1,020 NT.
Other blue-chip stocks also gained, with Hon Hai up $4 NT to $199.5 NT and
MediaTek rising to $1-thousand-285 NT.
Analysts say TSMC remains the main driver of the market, though concerns
linger (徘徊) over U.S. tariffs and tech bans targeting China.
They believe the AI trend continues to provide strong momentum but warn that
potential policy changes in the U.S. under Donald Trump could bring fresh
challenges.

Taiwan CDC announces free shipping for HIV tests until end of December
Taiwan's Centers for Disease Control has announced a free shipping incentive
(優惠) for home HIV tests until the end of the month…
The CDC said members of the general public are entitled to a free shipping
subsidy until Dec. 31 for Human Immunodeficiency Viruses (HIV) home tests
ordered through the program's official website.
The program was announced in observation of the international World AIDS Day
which falls on Dec. 1 since it was first introduced in 1988.
Those who purchase kits from the site have to just pay NT$200 for each test
kit, which can be delivered to partnering outlets such as FamilyMart and
7-Eleven.
CDC statistics show Taiwan experienced an increase of 834 HIV positive
patients from the beginning of the year until the end of October, which was a
4.8 percent increase compared to the same time frame last year.
Syria Rushes in Reinforcements as Insurgents Seize Aleppo
The Syrian military rushed reinforcements to the northwest and launched
airstrikes Sunday in an attempt to push back insurgents who seized the
country’s largest city of Aleppo.
The insurgents launched a two-pronged attack on Aleppo and the countryside
around Idlib, before moving toward neighboring Hama province.
On Sunday, government troops created what they called a “strong defensive
line” in northern Hama, according to Britain-based opposition war monitor
the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
Meanwhile, jets struck the cities of Idlib and Aleppo, killing at least 15
people.
Syrian President Bashar Assad's office says Iran has pledged to help the
government counter the surprise offensive (進攻).
Arab leaders, including Jordan’s King Abdullah II and United Arab Emirates
President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, have also called Assad to
express their solidarity.
Canada on Communicating Border Difference to Trump
Canada’s ambassador to the United States says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
was successful in getting President-elect Donald Trump and some key cabinet
nominees to understand that lumping Canada in with Mexico over the flow of
drugs and migrants into the U.S. is unfair.
Kirsten Hillman says Trudeau’s dinner with Trump on Friday was a very
important step in getting Trump to back away from threatened tariffs on all
products.
Trump threatened (威脅) to impose tariffs on products from Canada and Mexico
if they don’t stop what he called the flow of drugs and migrants across
their borders.
Hillman says Trudeau's message that the Canadian border is vastly different
from the Mexican border was really understood.
That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _____.
