The Tai-Ex opened down 96-points this morning from yesterday's close, at

23,094 on turnover of 3.7-billion N-T.

The market lost ground on Monday as a decline on Wall Street at the end of

last week resulted in the selling of large cap electronics stocks.

Turnover also remained thin as foreign institutional investors remain away

from the market for the New Year's Day holiday, making it hard for the main

board to rally - leaving the Tai-Ex in consolidation mode.

The government has revised its 2030 target for the reduction of carbon

emissions upwards - but is warning that uncertainties over electricity usage

and climate change technologies remain.

According to Environment Minister Peng Chi-ming, the government will now

pursue (追求) a goal of reducing carbon emissions by between 26 and 30-per

cent by 2030 compared to 2005 levels.

That's up from the previous goal of between 23 and 25-per cent set in

December of 2022.

Peng says the wider margin of error than the previous forecast is due to

several uncertainties - including international political and economic

developments - which could affect progress on climate change issues

differently across countries.

Academia Historica has published the fourth batch of Chiang Kai-shek and

Chiang Ching-kuo's diaries.

The diaries were formerly a part of a collection at Stanford University

The were returned to Taiwan in September of last year following years-long

legal battle over their ownership.

Academia Historica has since been digitizing them and making them publicly

available in chronological (時間順序) order.

The fourth and latest set to been released includes Chiang Kai-shek's diaries

from 1930 to 1933 and Chiang Ching-kuo's diaries from 1943 to 1944.

Yeol

South Korea's anti-corruption agency says that a court has issued warrants to

detain impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol and search his office.

The Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials said in a

statement that the Seoul Western District Court issued warrants Tuesday to

detain Yoon over his stunning (令人驚嘆的) yet short-lived martial law decree

earlier this month and to search the presidential office in central Seoul.

The agency said it is investigating whether his declaration of martial law

amounted to rebellion.

Yoon's powers have been suspended since the opposition-controlled National

Assembly voted to impeach him on Dec. 14.

The Constitutional Court is to determine whether to dismiss Yoon as president

or reinstate him.

US Treasury officials say Chinese state-sponsored hackers breached the

department's systems this month, stealing unclassified documents in a "major

incident (事件)".

Ira Spitzer has more.

Greece says it will enhance parental oversight of mobile devices in 2025 by

building a government-operated app, that will help get digital age

verification and browsing controls.

The country's minister of digital governance said the Kids Wallet app will

launch in March and is aimed at safeguarding children under the age of 15

from the risks of excessive and inappropriate internet use.

He said the initiative will help hold social media platforms more accountable

(應負責任的) for enforcing age controls.

The app could be pre-installed on smartphones sold in Greece by the end of

next year.
