Tai-Ex opening
The Tai-Ex opened up 106-points this morning from Friday's close, at 28,662
on turnover of 4.6-billion N-T.

The market closed out last week higher, as investors continued to pick up
tech heavyweights, while turnover remained moderate, despite many foreign
institutional investors being away for the holidays.

Analysts say then lack of foreign institutional investors saw local investors
dominating the trading day, and they tended to buy large cap electronics
stocks, in particular Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing.



Lai says Taiwan must raise cost of war and build indigenous defense to deter China
President Lai Ching-te says his administration will continue to raise the
cost of aggression and strengthen the island's indigenous defense
capabilities to deter China.

Speaking in a an exclusive interview with Sanlih E-Television News, that
aired on Sunday, Lai repeated previous comments that peace can only be
secured (保護，使…穩固) through strength.

Lai also reiterated that his administration will not provoke China and
remains "firmly committed to maintaining the status quo."

And he stressed that peace "must be backed by real strength," rather than
relying on an agreement or the goodwill of an aggressor.

North Korea says it fired long-range strategic cruise missiles into the sea
to test the country’s nuclear deterrence.

The official Korean Central News Agency reports that the missile launches
occurred off the country’s west coast on Sunday in the presence of leader
Kim Jong Un.

The launches were the latest weapons display by North Korea ahead of its
planned ruling Workers's Party congress early next year.

South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said it was aware of several cruise
missile launches made from North Korea's capital region on Sunday morning.

It said South Korea maintains a readiness to repel any potential North Korean
provocations (激怒, 挑撥) through its alliance (聯盟) with the United States.

Last week, North Korea test-launched new anti-air missiles off its east coast
and unveiled apparent progress in the construction of its first
nuclear-powered submarine.
