[00:00:08] You are now watching the Taishi News Channel.
[00:00:23] I'm Qiu Ban. First, let's start the news by focusing on the Republican Party's crushing defeat in the 2026
[00:00:27] midterm elections. President Trump made his first public appearance after the election on the 4th,
[00:00:30] and he admitted that the Iran war, which led to soaring oil prices,
[00:00:34] was one of the main reasons for the Republican Party's defeat
[00:00:38] this time. But Trump does not regret starting
[00:00:42] the war, and he insists that if he were the candidate,
[00:00:45] the Republican Party would win big. As for the Democratic Party,
[00:00:49] both the Senate and House leaders have announced that they will prioritize
[00:00:53] addressing the cost of living issues in the future,
[00:00:57] and will officially launch an investigation into the Trump administration.
[00:03:01] The Republican Party suffered a defeat in the midterm elections.
[00:03:03] 。
[00:03:05] Elon Musk, the tech billionaire and biggest donor, posted on social media platform X to mock himself.
[00:03:08] 。
[00:03:11] It didn't work this time.
[00:03:26] Approximately 15.8 billion New Taiwan Dollars.
[00:03:29] enacted
[00:04:38] by Republicans, they're going to restore the ACTA tax credits
[00:04:42] and stop the stupid Trump tariffs that have jacked
[00:04:45] up prices across America. At the same time, our
[00:04:48] committees will do rigorous oversight over the
[00:04:51] corruption and the stupid stuff happening in the
[00:04:55] Trump administration.
[00:04:56] Liu Yun-ping, now 57 years old, was born in Taiwan in 1969.
[00:05:00] He immigrated to the United States with his family at the age of three. After being elected as a federal representative in 2014,
[00:05:03] he has been re-elected until now. He is currently the Vice Chairman of the House Democratic Caucus. If he is successfully re-elected, he will write a new milestone
[00:05:07] for Asian Americans.
[00:05:10] The midterm elections have changed the international landscape,
[00:05:14] with some celebrating and some grieving. Iran
[00:05:17] is celebrating, but Israel is worried about further isolation
[00:05:21] internationally. Russia and China have both stated that
[00:05:25] this is an internal affair and are responding very cautiously. As for
[00:05:29] allies like Europe and Mexico, they are more optimistic,
[00:05:32] expecting that the US tariffs and immigration policies
[00:05:36] may be adjusted.
[00:05:38] 。
[00:07:12] The Republican Party gained control of both the Senate and the House in the midterm elections, which may
[00:07:16] lead to a slowdown in the construction of AI data centers.
[00:07:19] However, former foreign investment analyst Hou Mingxiao believes that most
[00:07:23] data centers expected to go online next year have already obtained construction permits,
[00:07:27] so the proportion affected by policies is relatively limited. In addition,
[00:07:31] in terms of the foreign exchange market, the US dollar index has fallen from its high to a nearly
[00:07:35] one-month low. The New Taiwan Dollar once broke below
[00:07:39] 32.9 yuan during intraday trading today, but only depreciated slightly in the mid-session.
[00:09:12] Gaining absolute control of Congress may affect
[00:09:16] the promotion of the entire fiscal bill. For the US dollar index, this recent
[00:09:20] weakening trend may require some time to consolidate. The weakening US dollar has not driven
[00:09:24] the Taiwan dollar to strengthen. The 32.9
[00:09:27] yuan mark
[00:09:29] continues to fluctuate at a one-and-a-half-year low. According to analysis, with the arrival of the year-end export season, the increase in foreign exchange conversion by export manufacturers
[00:09:33] is expected to provide support for the Taiwan dollar exchange rate, but the key is whether foreign capital withdrawal
[00:09:36] will ease.
[00:09:40] Especially since the Trump administration was already unpredictable,
[00:10:01] whether it will play new tricks must also be carefully considered.
[00:10:05] The American people cast their sacred votes, and the results of the midterm elections
[00:10:08] are confirmed. The Democratic Party started a strong blue wave and gained majority control of the Senate and
[00:10:12] House. The outside world predicts that US President Trump
[00:10:16] will face more comprehensive congressional checks and balances in the next two years.
[00:10:19] Facing major changes in the international landscape, traditional industries such as machine tools and machinery
[00:10:23] believe that there should not be major changes in US industrialization and related industrial policies,
[00:10:27] but it is still necessary to closely monitor the interaction
[00:10:31] between the Democratic and Republican parties and President Trump.
[00:10:35] We will continue to observe, and my most important expectation
[00:10:38] is that I hope the US government, the Trump administration, can be
[00:10:42] more friendly to Taiwan, in terms of tariffs,
[00:10:46] exchange rates, trade, and even in diplomacy,
[00:10:49] they can be more friendly to Taiwan. And what we hope even more
[00:10:53] is that the Trump administration can quickly bring the Middle East
[00:10:57] war to a ceasefire. In addition, regarding the recent depreciation of the New Taiwan Dollar, the export-oriented
[00:11:01] machine tool and machinery industry believes it is a good thing, which can relatively enhance
[00:11:05] Taiwan's export competitiveness. In addition, Taiwanese biotech industry players generally believe that the election
[00:11:08] results will have limited impact on operations in the short term, but Trump's policies are unpredictable,
[00:11:12] and whether he will play new tricks in the future still requires caution.
[00:11:16] We
[00:11:20] export to the US, relatively speaking, our exports are
[00:11:24] small. So the impact is not big, but
[00:11:27] there will be an impact on the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API)
[00:11:31] sector. Our API manufacturers export about 80% to 90%
[00:11:35] to Europe and the US. We will see if their US customers
[00:11:38] will be affected in any way, and whether
[00:11:42] Trump will start issuing
[00:11:45] so-called new executive orders or
[00:11:49] bring up tariffs again. Some biotech industry players also mentioned, in addition to drug tariffs
[00:11:53] and the "Made in America" policy.
[00:12:01] There are plans to restrict US capital investment in China's biotech industry. Whether this bill can be successfully implemented
[00:12:04] will also affect Taiwan's biotech industry's international competitive advantage.
[00:12:08] Now, the continued power struggle between the US White House and Congress will inevitably make policy negotiations
[00:12:12] more complex. How Taiwan's industry can adjust its layout
[00:12:16] in a timely manner while maintaining its competitive advantage will affect the industry's
[00:12:20] future development. Reporter Wen Chao Long, reporting from Taipei.
[00:12:23] 。
[00:13:25] Ossoff is currently the youngest senator, and his infectious
[00:13:28] speaking ability has led the Democratic Party to tout him as the next Obama. Although he has publicly
[00:13:32] stated that he is not interested in running for president in 2028, the Independent
[00:13:36] newspaper in the UK points out that Ossoff's chances of winning the presidency in 2028 have risen
[00:13:40] to 18%, even five percentage points higher than current Vice President Vance.
[00:13:43] Also reminiscent of Obama is Saïd, who successfully won the Michigan
[00:13:47] Senate seat and made history.
[00:13:50] 。
[00:13:53] Saïd became the first Muslim senator in US history, once again
[00:13:57] breaking the political glass ceiling. However, for the new generation to rise,
[00:14:01] they still have to overcome heavyweight predecessors within the party, including California Governor Newsom, Vice President
[00:14:05] Harris, and Pennsylvania Governor Shapiro, who are all eager to make a move.
[00:14:09] After the Republican Party's major defeat, the party began to look for scapegoats. Vance, who was seen as Trump's top
[00:14:13] successor, stated that the election loss was due to involvement in the Iran war,
[00:14:16] and tried hard to distance himself to avoid the flames affecting his presidential bid. Secretary of State
[00:14:20] Rubio and Florida Governor DeSantis are also potential Republican
[00:14:24] candidates. night was should be a wake up call for our party,
[00:14:27] um, we really got blasted into oblivion and
[00:14:30] Florida is kind of the last one standing. In 2028,
[00:14:33] all 435 seats in the House of Representatives will also be up for re-election, drawing high attention from all sectors.
[00:14:42] Speaking of the US President, during the second half of his term, despite having conceded defeat during the vote count at the White House, the strong-willed Trump is still capable of many things in the remainder of his presidential term.
[00:16:07] I have said over the past few days, if I
[00:16:11] were your woman, but now I am your
[00:16:14] woman. Former Yaya Mayor served for 24 years, and the growing Abbot became a Latino. From an immigrant family, he led the polls after the votes were counted, forming a forest. Seeing the election, at the White House
[00:17:07] current House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries will also take over, becoming
[00:17:11] the first non-white House Speaker in US history.
[00:17:24] Trump, having lost both the Senate and House, will become a lame-duck president. From pushing
[00:17:28] bills through to appointing Supreme Court justices and cabinet members, his power
[00:17:31] will be severely curtailed. Trump even threatened before the election to be a "veto president,"
[00:17:35] and would use it when necessary.
[00:18:12] Turning to Europe, a cross-border cyberattack recently occurred, where the refrigeration systems of hundreds of supermarkets were maliciously heated up, causing a large amount of food to spoil.
[00:18:15] Now, it is even reported that a blood bank in France
[00:18:19] was also invaded, and the temperature was adjusted to 110 degrees Celsius.
[00:18:23] A regional bank was also invaded, and even suffered
[00:18:27] losses of up to 100 million euros. Experts pointed out that the hackers'
[00:18:31] attack method this time was actually very simple, and it highlighted the vulnerabilities
[00:18:35] of remote management and third-party service providers.
[00:18:43] Refrigeration systems in supermarkets across several European countries were recently hit by a cyberattack, and now the damage has expanded.
[00:18:46] The French Ministry of Health confirmed on the 4th that the temperature of three blood banks was adjusted
[00:18:50] up to 110 degrees Celsius. Fortunately, staff discovered it in time and transferred
[00:18:54] inventory. In addition, a regional bank in France was also invaded, with reported
[00:18:58] losses of 100 million euros.
[00:18:59] 。
[00:20:50] In a snowy white world, a red helicopter hovered low, preparing to descend
[00:20:54] to pick up tourists. As it prepared to land, it seemed to malfunction, the entire helicopter
[00:20:58] constantly veering off course. The next second.
[00:21:21] It just crashed. One of the helicopters, it should have been the first group of people going up. Fortunately, they
[00:21:25] hadn't gotten on yet. A group of nine Taiwanese tourists recently went to Nepal for a base camp trek,
[00:21:29] but witnessed a major accident. One of the Taiwanese group members, Dr. Luo
[00:21:33] Jieshan, recalled the unusual situation before the helicopter collision.
[00:22:20] I could see people throwing a lot of free stuff, like blankets
[00:22:24] and mattresses, out the windows. They wanted to get in there. One trip, two
[00:22:27] life-and-death moments, close calls but no real danger. But for friends, being able to return home safely
[00:22:31] is the most precious thing.
[00:22:34] Next, let's look at this cruise ship, the Odyssey, which promotes itself as a mobile home
[00:22:38] for retirees. It had only been sailing for just over two years when, at the end of October,
[00:22:42] it stranded 203 passengers in Kaohsiung.
[00:22:45] The passengers boarded the cruise ship on the 3rd to retrieve their personal belongings.
[00:22:49] After that, the Odyssey left Kaohsiung on the 4th,
[00:22:53] heading to Singapore to deal with financial issues. The stranded
[00:22:56] passengers are now suffering losses with nowhere to turn, only able to seek
[00:23:00] assistance locally, facing their ruined retirement life.
[00:23:04] 。
[00:23:08] The 203 passengers stranded by the Odyssey on October 27th
[00:23:11] have gradually lost hope of returning to the cruise ship, and have no choice but to accept
[00:23:15] the reality that their plans have come to nothing.
[00:23:16] 。
[00:25:28] despite all of these sort of increase pressures on household
[00:25:31] finances, so increasing living costs. We do see that
[00:25:34] that share allocated to travel maintains
[00:25:37] its level.
[00:25:39] Although the report by the agency responsible for transportation and daily life in the Middle East estimates that by 2026,
[00:25:45] the total will reach 23.9 billion nights.
[00:26:26] However, experts are optimistically predicting that as the impact of the conflict gradually eases, the local tourism industry is expected to see a strong rebound in 2027.
[00:26:30] 弹 。
[00:26:32] is is actually halfing compared to 20 years ago. And we do
[00:26:36] see with the Middle East, it is incredibly resilient destination. With China's economic development, in the next six years, 24 million more families will enter the travel market, bringing new growth momentum. Let's look at recent discoveries in Southampton in southern England, where several wells dating back over 2000 years, four of which,
