Tai-Ex opening
The Tai-Ex opened down 124-points this morning from yesterday's close, at
22,040 on turnover of 5-billion N-T.
The market closed slightly higher on Monday following a technical rebound on
Wall Street at the end of last week.
The market gained more than 300 points in the early morning session.
However, investors then opted to shift to the sell side, eroding (侵蝕) the
early upturn by the end of the session.
MAC to Meet ARATS in Kinmen Today
Officials from Taiwan and China are meeting today at the Golden Lake Hotel in
Kinmen today for talks on the the February 14 Kinmen speedboat incident.
Today's meeting is taking place after talks planned for last Wednesday were
postponed due to Typhoon Gaemi.
The Mainland Affairs Council has said the focus of the meeting is to discuss
outstanding (未解決的) issues relating to the incident that left two Chinese
nationals dead after their speedboat attempted to evade (逃避) a Coast Guard
Administration patrol boat.
Chinese representatives and members of two men's families arrived in Kinmen
yesterday.
Lai Talks Aid to Farmers Affected by Typhoon Gaemi
President Lai Ching-te says farmers in areas hit hardest by Typhoon Gaemi
will be able to apply for cash assistance and low-interest loans.
According to Lai, the move is aimed at minimizing their losses and ensuring
(確保) farming operations can resume quickly.
The statement comes as Lai has been visiting parts of the island affected by
the typhoon accompanied by Premier Cho Jung-tai and Defense Ministry
Wellington Koo.
Lai says farmers in heavily affected areas such as Kaohsiung and Pingtung
will be exempt from paying interest on low-interest loans for the first six
months - with the government covering all such interest payments.
US Kamala Harris Campaign Raises 200Million
US Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign has raised $200 million since
President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed her, according to
her team.
The campaign says it has 170,000 new volunteers, and the "momentum (動力) and
energy for Vice President Harris is real", according to its communications
director.
It comes after a weekend of campaigning for both Harris and former President
Donald Trump, as the US presidential election draws closer.
Sally Patterson reports from New York.
Guatemala Temporary Residency to Mexican Refugees
Guatemala’s government has given temporary residency to 207 Mexicans, mostly
children, on humanitarian grounds, after they fled across the border last
week to escape drug violence.
Officials say the refugees will have 30 days of legal status after which they
could request asylum (庇護) if they want.
They have registered at least 44 extended families, and domestic and
international organizations are supporting the families with donations.
Early last week, nearly 600 Mexicans crossed the border into Guatemala, later
describing harrowing escapes on foot as drug cartels battled around their
communities.
That was the I.C.R.T. news,
