products shipped to South Africa.

The products include integrated circuits, chips and memory.

The measure is in response to South Africa's repeated downgrading and

renaming of Taiwan's representative offices in the country.

The government has previously said that move is being driven by political

pressure from Beijing intended to reduce Taiwan's standing internationally.

According to the economics ministry, it is now amending (修改) regulations

covering exports from free trade ports so that 47 designated products bound

for South Africa must first obtain approval.

Canadian privacy authorities say TikTok’s efforts to keep children off the

platform and prevent the collection and use of their sensitive personal

underage children off its platform and must better explain its data

collection practices, especially to youth.

The platform is not for those under the age of 13.

The commissioner says TikTok has agreed to enhance underage assurance methods

to keep underage users off the platform and to strengthen privacy

communications so that users understand how their data is being used.

Last year, the Canadian government said it won’t block access to the popular

after a national security review of the Chinese company behind it.
