Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 150-points this morning from last Thursday's close, at

47,873 on turnover of 13.6-billion N-T.

and ahead of talks between U-S Presidents Donald Trump and China's Xi Jinping

at the White House

Lai marks Teachers' Day by touting AI teacher training plan President Lai Ching-te has marked Teachers' Day by touting his

administration's plans to invest 11-billion N-T by 2029 to strengthen

educators' digital and artificial intelligence skills.

Taking to Facebook, Lai said the Ministry of Education has launched the "AI

Talent Ark Program" to build teaching capabilities and AI-enabled learning

environments in elementary and secondary schools.

Lai also said his administration will continue listening to educators,

improve teaching conditions, and ensure teachers receive the respect and

support they deserve (應得) so they can focus on teaching.

The Ministry of Education has said its "AI Talent Ark Program" is aimed at

enhancing digital teaching materials and developing next-generation A-I

learning systems.

MOJ admits over 40% of those investigated for human trafficking are not indicted The Ministry of Justice says just over 40-per cent of individuals

investigated for human trafficking-related crimes between 2021 and 2025 were

indicted.

According to a recent ministry report, of the 3,401 people investigated,

1,914 were alleged to have been involved in labor exploitation (剝削), 1,281 in

sexual exploitation and 147 in organ harvesting.

The report also noted that the number of people investigated for sex

trafficking rose from 168 in 2021 to 309 in 2025, while the number of people

indicted in organ-harvesting cases remained below 70 each year.

Of those investigated, 41-per cent were indicted, 41.4-per cent were not

indicted and 0.8-per cent received deferred prosecution.

TRUMP DENIES OFFERING ARMS TO CHINA, CONTRADICTING HIS OWN AMBASSADOR'S ACCOUNT US President Donald Trump has denied offering to sell American weapons to

China, directly contradicting his own ambassador, who said on Sunday that the

president had raised the prospect of arms sales during last week's summit

with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Speaking in the Oval Office on Monday, President Trump said he had never

heard of such a proposal (提議) — but then added that China would probably like

to buy US equipment because America makes better military hardware.

The State Department has issued a formal denial, saying US law prohibits arms

sales to China and that no such offer or plan exists.

Kate Fisher reports from Washington.

Argentina Threatens Legal Action to stop UK Oil Project Off Falkland Islands Argentina is threatening international legal action to stop an oil project

off the disputed Falkland Islands.

President Javier Milei’s office said Monday that the United Kingdom has two

weeks to halt work on the Sea Lion development.

Otherwise, Argentina says it will ask an international maritime court for an

emergency order stopping the project.

The court’s orders are legally binding, but it cannot force the U.K. to

comply (遵守).

Britain controls the islands, which Argentina also claims.

Oil production is expected to begin in 2028.

Milei’s push comes as his popularity slips and U.S. President Donald Trump

suggests reconsidering U.S. neutrality in the sovereignty dispute.
