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. Chris Gilbert reports. 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.
