(Dahe Finance Cube)Will the air ticket price in the United States rise in November? Goldman Sachs and Bank of America have their own opinions. Due to the rising cost of housing, insurance and medical services, the core inflation rate in the United States has remained high. Second-hand car prices may rise due to the rebound of auction prices, but economists are still divided on whether the increase in air ticket prices will become a reality. Goldman Sachs predicts that air ticket prices will increase by 1% month-on-month, reflecting a strong potential pricing trend. Bank of America, on the other hand, said, "We expect the air ticket price to drop by 1% month-on-month, which will change the contribution rate of core inflation from +3 basis points to -1 basis point. Due to the decline in air ticket prices, the monthly core inflation rate will drop to 0.2%, but the volatility of this category is still very large. "
In response to the US request for TSMC's advanced manufacturing process to be moved to the United States, Taiwan Affairs Office spokeswoman Zhu Fenglian said: TSMC has become a "warlords" for the Democratic Progressive Party authorities to please the United States. As the public opinion on the island has said, it is only a matter of time before the Democratic Progressive Party authorities are determined to "rely on the United States for independence" and TSMC becomes a "United States product". If the Democratic Progressive Party authorities are allowed to "sell Taiwan" without a bottom line, the advantages of related industries in Taiwan Province will be weakened, and the interests of enterprises and people on the island will be harmed. When the use value of Taiwan Province is drained, the "chess pieces" will become "abandoned children", and the enterprises and people on the island will see this more and more clearly. It should be pointed out that many Taiwan Province enterprises have developed rapidly by participating in cross-strait cooperation, which fully proves that the right way is for the two sides to work together to expand the Chinese national economy.Institution: In the first half of 2024, the scale of China's edge cloud market increased by 21% year-on-year.

(Oriental Finance)The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council refutes Lai Qingde's fallacy of so-called transit to the United States. CGTN reporter from the Central Radio and Television General Station: Lai Qingde falsely claimed that "the biggest challenge at present is the threat of China" when he transited to Hawaii in the United States a few days ago. What's your comment on Taiwan Province's future development plan and threatened to "strengthen its national defense forces"? Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said: We resolutely oppose any form of official exchanges between the United States and Taiwan, and resolutely oppose the "transit" of Taiwan Province leaders to the United States under any name and for any reason. Lai Qingde's so-called "transit" is essentially "seeking independence by relying on foreign countries", trying to mislead international public opinion and people on the island by peddling its "Taiwan independence" proposition. At present, the biggest challenge in cross-strait relations is that the Democratic Progressive Party authorities stubbornly adhere to the "Taiwan independence" stance, link up with external forces to frequently provoke "independence" and tie Taiwan Province to the "Taiwan independence" chariot. We are telling the Democratic Progressive Party authorities to give up the illusion of "seeking independence by force" and "seeking independence by relying on foreign countries" at an early date and stop the "Taiwan independence" separatist activities. Only by returning to the "1992 Consensus" which embodies the one-China principle can cross-strait relations return to the correct track of peaceful development and the development future of Taiwan Province be effectively guaranteed.
