EZ News 04/08/24

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News.

Tai-Ex opening
The Tai-Ex opened up 57-points this morning from last Wednesday's close, at
20,395 on turnover of 9.1-billion N-T.

The market shed more than 100-points last Wednesday - the final trading day
of the week.

Market sentiment was negatively affected by both the 7.2 magnitude earthquake
that struck earlier that day and losses on Wall Street overnight.

The bellwether electronics sector led the downturn.

Investors were concerned about the possible impact on production resulting
from the temblor.

Czech Republic Looking into Allegations Chinese Diplomat Tailed HsiaoBi-khim
The government of the Czech Republic says it's investigation allegations that
a Chinese diplomat tailed Vice President-elect Hsiao Bi-khim during her visit
to the country last month.

According to Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the statement by Czech officials
comes after Taiwan's representative office in Prague contacted authorities.

There were reports by a news site that a Chinese diplomat was stopped by
police while following Hsiao's motorcade.

The report by a Prague-based news site says "Chinese governmental
surveillance (監視)" continued until Hsiao arrived at her hotel in the Czech
capital.

Hsiao visited the Czech Republic from March 17 to 19 to speak at a seminar.

Two More Taipei Restaurants Closed Due to Suspected Food Poisoning
And,

The 22 patients dined (吃飯，進餐) at the restaurants between April 2 and 4.

Health authorities have carried out inspections at the two restaurants and
found multiple problems.

They are also testing food and environmental samples.

Tunisia Fundraising Runner Runs Length of Africa
British charity fundraiser Russ Cook has reached the northernmost point of
Africa, completing a year-long quest to run the length of the continent.

Dozens of supporters cheered Sunday as Cook reached a rocky outcrop in
northern Tunisia.

The 27-year-old set off from South Africa in April last year.

He has run more than 16-thousand km across 16 countries in 352 days.

The run has raised more than $870-thousand US dollars for charities that work
with homeless young people, and helps displaced (流離失所) people from
Western Sahara.
