Spokesperson Zhang Han stated that the DPP authorities stubborn adherence to their "Taiwan independence" separatist stance and their deliberate provocations are the root cause of the tense and turbulent situation across the Taiwan Strait. We have repeatedly stated that people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are Chinese, one family. As long as the DPP authorities recognize the "1992 Consensus" and cease their "Taiwan independence" separatist activities, cross-strait dialogue and consultation can resume, and cross-strait relations can develop peacefully. The peaceful development of cross-strait relations is conducive to enhancing the well-being of compatriots on both sides of the Strait, promoting harmony and tranquility in Taiwan society, and ensuring that Taiwan compatriots live and work in peace and contentment. It is the will of the people and an irresistible trend. Following this trend and the will of the people is the wise course of action.On March 4th, eToro analyst Josh Gilbert commented that the repricing of interest rate expectations could put headwinds on gold prices. The surge in energy prices related to the Middle East conflict is forcing investors to reassess the pricing of the two Fed rate cuts this year. He stated that a stronger dollar and rising bond yields constitute a typical "double headwind" for gold, which could be enough to offset the safe-haven support gold typically receives during geopolitical crises. However, the structural logic for gold remains unchanged: central banks continue to purchase gold, while fiscal deficits remain a prominent issue.

U.S. legislators offer a bill to assist the news industry in negotiations with Google and Facebook

On Monday, a bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers presented an amended version of a measure that intends to make it easier for news organizations to negotiate with platforms like Google and Facebook collectively (NASDAQ:META).


The Journalism Competition and Preservation Act, according to a news release from the lawmakers, "removes legal hurdles to news organizations' ability to negotiate collectively and get fair terms from gatekeeper platforms that routinely access news material without paying for its value."


The group consists of Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar, Republican Senator John Kennedy, and Democratic Representative David Cicilline and Republican Representative Ken Buck, all of whom are members of the House Judiciary Committee.


The Computer & Communications Industry Association and NetChoice, to which Meta Platforms' Facebook and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGLGoogle) belong, opposed a March 2021 version of the proposed legislation.


The proposed measure would apply to news publishers with less than 1,500 full-time staff and independent broadcasters. According to the press release, they would be able to work together to negotiate better arrangements with Facebook, Google, and other massive platforms.


The Act of 2021 would have applied to any print, broadcast, or online news organization with a committed editorial team and at least a weekly publication schedule.
