The Tai-Ex opened up 173-points this morning from yesterday's close, at

31,956 on turnover of $10.4-billion N-T.

A 33-year-old Taiwanese fugitive has been arrested in Metro Manila following

a joint operation between Philippine and Taiwanese authorities.

The suspect, surnamed Chien (簡), had been on the run since August 2023, when

an arrest warrant was issued by the Miaoli (苗栗) District Prosecutors Office

on theft charges.

Philippine immigration officials say Chien was also classified as an

“undesirable (不受歡迎的) alien” after overstaying his temporary visitor

visa.

He is currently being held at a detention facility pending deportation.

Since the start of 2025, officials have successfully tracked down and

arrested 22 wanted Taiwanese fugitives in the Philippines through

intelligence sharing and other forms of cooperation.

Taoyuan Airport MRT is adding an early morning express train service from

Taipei Main Station to handle (應付) increased outbound travel over the Lunar

New Year holiday.

According to the operator, the train will run from February 12th to the 22nd

… and depart at 5 AM … reaching Taoyuan International Airport Terminal 2

Station within 41 minutes.

On the way, it will call at A3 New Taipei Industrial Park, A8 Chang Gung

Memorial Hospital, and A12 Airport Terminal 1 stations — as usual for the

express train.

To support the service, Taipei Main and New Taipei Industrial Park stations

will open earlier — at 4:30 AM.

In-town check-in at Taipei Main will also be available at that time.

While the other stations it stops at will open at 5 AM.

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s governing party has secured a

two-thirds supermajority in a parliamentary election.

Takaichi told public broadcaster NHK later that she is ready to pursue (實行)

policies to make Japan strong and prosperous.

TV networks cited preliminary results from Sunday's vote in reporting that

Takaichi’s Liberal Democratic Party and its coalition partner won 352 seats

in the 465-seat lower house.

The huge jump from the previous parliament could allow Takaichi to make

progress on a right-wing agenda that aims to boost Japan’s economy and

military capabilities as tensions grow with China and she tries to nurture

ties with Washington.

Venezuela’s government has released (釋放) several prominent opposition

members from prison, including one of the closest allies of Nobel Peace Prize

laureate Maria Corina Machado.

These releases come as acting President Delcy Rodriguez faces pressure to

free those detained for political reasons.

The move follows a visit from representatives of the United Nations High

Commissioner for Human Rights.

On Sunday, Foro Penal confirmed the release of at least 30 people.

Machado’s ally Juan Pablo Guanipa, a former governor, and her attorney,

Perkins Rocha, were among the released.

The ruling party-controlled National Assembly is debating an amnesty bill

that could lead to more releases.
