EZ News 11/17/25

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 203-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 27,601 on turnover of 10-billion N-T. Shares in Taiwan shed more than 500 points Friday as a sell-off was sparked by a plunge on U.S. markets overnight amid renewed worries that the U.S. Federal Reserve has turned hawkish toward its rate-cut cycle. Analysts say the steep losses in the United States prompted investors here to pocket their recent significant gains, also taking cues from the heavy losses suffered by artificial intelligence stocks such as Nvidia on stretched tech stocks". NTU responds after 100s fall for fried chicken rumor National Taiwan University is urging the public to be vigilant about information they read online… after an anonymous social media user promised to hand out free fried chicken and boba tea. A post in an anonymous Facebook group earlier this month claimed that Taipei would announce school and work closures for Typhoon Fung-wong for at least two days between November 12th and 14th… promising to hand out free fried chicken and boba tea at NTU's Fu Bell if the days off do not occur (發生). Several hundred people lined up, with some getting there early in the morning. The university ultimately had to dispatch security guards to keep order near the bell until afternoon, when people seemed to realize they had been tricked. NTU says, it's not able to verify who made the post, but warned that they should consider the accuracy and impact of misinformation spead online, lest they face legal consequences. Finland President Calls for EU Steadiness for Ukraine Finland's president urges Europe to hold its nerve (保持鎮定，保持勇氣) as he warns no ceasefire likely soon in Ukraine. AP correspondent Karen Chammas reports Ecuador Announces Capture of Major Drug Trafficker Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa has announced the capture of one of Ecuador’s most wanted drug traffickers. Wilmer Chavarria, known as “Pipo,” was caught in Malaga, Spain, on Sunday in a joint operation with Spanish police. He is believed to lead Los Lobos, a group linked to political assassinations (暗殺) and associated with Mexico’s Jalisco New Generation Cartel. Chavarria faked his death in 2021, moved to Spain, and continued his criminal activities. His capture coincides with Ecuadorians voting on a referendum about allowing foreign military bases to combat drug trafficking. Germany Holocaust Artifacts Auction Cancelled Poland's foreign minister says an auction of Holocaust artifacts in Germany has been canceled. He shared this information from his German counterpart after complaints from Holocaust survivors. The auction was set to include letters from concentration camp prisoners and other documents. A Holocaust survivors group had called for the cancellation, describing the auction as cynical (損人利己的) and shameless. The group emphasized that these documents belong to the victims' families and should be in museums, not sold for profit. The auction house has not responded to calls or emails about the cancellation. That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _____.
