Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 53-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 27,742 on turnover of 11-billion N-T. The market moved sharply higher on Monday, as it notched up yet another closing record after the bellwether electronics sector staged a rebound from Friday's slump amid lingering investor optimism toward artificial intelligence development. KMT chair-elect reiterates willingness to meet Xi Jinping 'for peace' The K-M-T's chair-elect says she is willing to do everything to promote peace across the Taiwan Strait, including meeting China's Xi Jinping. According to Cheng Li-wun, she's will take any steps and and meet anyone as long as it addresses cross-strait conflicts and disagreements, promotes peace and cooperation, and brings about common prosperity (繁榮). Citing a United Daily News survey on cross-strait relations released in late September, which showed that 63-per cent of respondents were dissatisfied with President Lai Ching-te's related policies - Cheng says the D-P-P's "anti-China card" had led Taiwan into a dead-end. Cheng won more than 50-per cent of the vote in Saturday's K-M-T leadership election to become the party's second elected female chair. Kaohsiung says Blackpink gave city tourism NT$300 million boost The Kaohsiung's Economic Development Bureau says Blackpink's concerts this past weekend helped the city generate over 300-million N-T in tourism revenue. City officials say more than 120,000 people came to see the all girl K-pop group at the National Stadium over two days. Many vendors in night markets saw their sales jump by at least 30-per cent on both Saturday and Sunday. The city's Transportation Bureau says, including ticketholders and tailgaters (停車場聚會者), as many as 63,000 people were present within and around the stadium on Saturday, while as many as 59,000 were at there on Sunday. Kaohsiung was the first Asian stop of Blankpink's "Deadline" world tour.

Charlotte North reports from Washington. Myanmar Shuts Down Online Scam Operation Myanmar's military says it has shut down a major online scam operation near the Thailand border. State media reported Monday that more than 2,000 people were detained, and dozens of Starlink satellite internet terminals were seized. Myanmar is known for cyberscam operations that defraud people worldwide. These scams often involve fake romantic schemes and bogus (虛假) investments. The army raided KK Park starting in early September. The area is on the outskirts of Myawaddy, a trading town under the influence of ethnic minority militias. Brazil Approves Exploratory Drilling Near Amazon River Brazil’s government has approved exploratory drilling by state-run oil-giant Petrobras near the mouth of the Amazon River. The decision comes only weeks before the United Nations climate conference in Belem, COP30, where efforts to reduce the use of fossil fuels will be discussed. Petrobras said in a statement Monday that the drilling could start right away and take up to five months. The Equatorial Margin deposit off the coast of Brazil is believed to be rich in oil and gas. The biodiverse area is home to little-studied mangroves and a coral reef, and activists and experts have said the project risks leaks that could be carried widely by tides and imperil (威脅) the sensitive environment. Petrobras has long argued it has never caused spills in its drillings. That was the I.C.R.T.
