Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News.
Tai-Ex opening
The Tai-Ex opened down 32-points this morning from yesterday's close, at
21,239 on turnover of 3.8-billion N-T.
The market closed slightly higher on Monday as Taiwan Semiconductor
Manufacturing reversed earlier losses to push the broader market back into
positive territory.
Analysts say although the bellwether electronics sector was mixed during the
trading day, buying rotated to financial heavyweights and select old economy
stocks to provide further support to the broader market.
MAC Calls on Beijing to be Receptive to Lai's Overture
The Mainland Affairs Council is urging Beijing to be receptive
(樂於接受，願意傾聽) to President Lai Ching-te's inclusion of calls for
engagements between the two sides in his inaugural speech.
According to the council, Lai extended "the greatest goodwill gesture" in the
address by calling for engagements to ensure mutual benefit and joint
prosperity.
It's calling on China to respond to that overture positively and meet the
expectations of the people from both sides of the strait and the
international community.
The statement comes after Beijing slammed Lai's inaugural address -
describing it as an attempt to promote Taiwanese independence.
Two Haneded Suspended Sentences in Chinese Recruiting Case
The Hsinchu District Court has handed down suspended sentences to two men
found guilty of illegally recruiting (吸收) personnel for a Chinese high-tech
company in Taiwan.
One of the men received a prison term of six months, suspended for two years,
and was ordered to pay 360,000 N-T.
While the other man was sentenced to three months in prison, suspended for
two years, and ordered to pay 200,000 N-T.
The court found the two guilty of violating (違反) the Act Governing
Relations between the People of the Taiwan Area and the Mainland Area.
The sentences for both men can be appealed.
SKorea UK to Kick Off AI Summit
South Korea and the United Kingdom are kicking off a global summit on
Artificial Intelligence as governments struggle to keep up with the evolution
of the technology.
The two countries are co-hosting the talks which look to tackle (對付，處理)
a growing number of risks as AI rapidly advances.

Haiti Main Airport Reopens
Haiti’s main international airport has reopened for the first time in nearly
three months after gang violence forced authorities to close it to all
traffic in early March.
Monday’s reopening of the airport in the capital of Port-au-Prince is
expected to help ease a critical shortage (嚴重短缺) of medications and other
basic supplies since the country’s main seaport remains paralyzed.
However, only a local carrier is flying in and out of Port-au-Prince for now.
US-based airlines are not expected to start doing so until late May or early
June.
That was the I.C.R.T. news,
Check in again tomorrow for our simplified version of the news, uploaded
every day in the afternoon.
Enjoy the rest of your day, I'm _____.
