Tai-Ex opening
The Tai-Ex opened up 303-points this morning from yesterday's close, at
22,818 on turnover of $8.3-billion N-T.



Seven Indicted in Taiwan for Selling Tainted Condiments
Seven people have been indicted for selling condiments containing banned
Sudan dyes.

Prosecutors in Yunlin County say employees of Chiseng Hong Ltd., including
its general manager and his son, violated food safety laws, forged documents,
and committed fraud.

The case began in February 2024, when officials found Sudan III dye in chili
powder made by the company.

An expanded investigation later discovered Sudan I in their curry powder.

Despite knowing about the contamination since 2023, the company continued
producing and selling the tainted products, earning 6.77 million NT.

Prosecutors are seeking heavy punishments for the seven individuals and fines
for the company, citing deliberate (故意的) actions to hide toxic ingredients
for profit.

Two related firms, Chiseng Hong and Rich's Spice International, were also
listed as defendants.



UN Guterres Welcomes Ceasefire btwn Hamas Israel
United Nations Secretary General, Antonio Guterres has welcomed the
announcement of a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas.

Speaking to reporters in New York on Wednesday shortly after the announcement
was made, Guterres said the UN stands ready to assist in the implementation
(執行) of the agreement.

Jody Jacobs reports from New York.



SAfrica Mine Rescue Operation Ends
South African police have ended a rescue operation at an abandoned gold mine
where hundreds of illegal miners were trapped for months and say they believe
they have rescued all the survivors and retrieved all the bodies of those who
died.

They said they had retrieved 78 bodies and rescued 246 survivors.

The announcement on Wednesday was a surprise and came just a day after the
police minister said the rescue operation would likely last until at least
next week.

Police say rescuers would do a final sweep of the mine today to ensure (確保)
no more survivors or bodies were underground.



UK Chagos Islands Discuss with Trump
Britain’s government has confirmed that it will not finalize a deal to hand
over sovereignty of the contested Chagos Islands to Mauritius until
President-elect Donald Trump’s administration is consulted.

The governments of Britain and Mauritius have been negotiating in recent
months to complete an agreement to settle the future of the contested
(有爭議的) Indian Ocean archipelago, which is home to a strategically
important U.K.-U.S. naval and bomber base.

But the agreement was opposed by Trump and his supporters.

The president-elect’s pick for secretary of state, Marco Rubio, warned last
year that the deal posed “a serious threat” to U.S. national security.
