Deputy Premier Cheng Li-chiun and her team met with U.S. officials on July 8 for the third round of talks. Both sides agreed on some key points and planned the next meeting. They hope to finish the deal before August 1, announcing the final result.

National Stabilization Fund Achieves Over 15% Return Rate and Will Continue Support

The National Stabilization Fund held a meeting on July 14, saying it will keep supporting the stock market because of ongoing global political and economic uncertainties. This is to maintain investor confidence and stabilize Taiwan’s stock market.

From April 9 to the end of June, the fund spent about NT$7.7 billion, with unrealized gains of around NT$1.18 billion, a return of over 15%. During the same period, Taiwan’s stock market rose 4,155 points, a 22.5% increase, ranking behind only the U.S. and South Korean markets and outperforming Hong Kong and Japan.

第四則：日本「I’m donut?」台北開幕 大排長龍爆負評

日本生甜甜圈品牌「I’m donut?」近期在台北開幕，吸引大量人潮，卻出現插隊情況，甚至有民眾在高溫下排隊8小時仍買不到，導致Google一星評論暴增。

業者雖緊急調整購買規則，但專家指出，事前規劃是危機管理的關鍵。建議提前規劃排隊動線、準備號碼牌防止隊伍膨脹、估算最大產能並透明化等候時間。此外，可提供折扣券慰勞排隊的顧客，避免負面形象擴散。

Japan’s “I’m donut?” Taipei Opening Faces Long Lines and Bad Reviews

The Japanese donut brand “I’m donut?” recently opened in Taipei and attracted big crowds. However, problems like cutting in line happened, and some people waited 8 hours in the heat but still couldn’t buy donuts. This caused a lot of one-star reviews on Google.

The company quickly changed its buying rules, but experts said good planning is important to avoid problems. They suggested making clear queue routes, using number tickets to stop overcrowding, estimating how many donuts can be made, and letting people know the waiting time. Giving discount coupons to thank waiting customers could also help avoid bad reviews.
