China Development Financial Holdings (hereinafter referred to as “CDF”) has launched its 11th consecutive “Love for You” charity initiative, which has received an overwhelming response from employees, resulting in an order amount of NT$1.09 million. CDF has been promoting this initiative for over a decade to support employment opportunities for people with disabilities. This year, CDF has partnered with Hua-kuang Social Welfare Foundation’s bakery and TriBake Social Enterprise to fulfill its commitment to charity for the entire year.
Mr. Shenzhu Chou, Director at Hua-kuang Social Welfare Foundation has praised CDF as their most reliable charitable partner, as this program provides vocational training to disabled residents of the institute, enabling them to develop their employment skills. In recent years, the foundation has trained disabled individuals in various jobs such as car washing at gas stations, working in restaurants, and packing lunches in catering companies. This not only provides them with opportunities to integrate into community life but also helps to earn them recognition and dignity. In addition to regular training, disabled individuals working in the bakery are also led by baking teachers to make heart-shaped bread to give to disadvantaged children in remote areas, enabling them to use their abilities to help others.
TriBake Social Enterprise, a participant in the “Love for You” charity initiative for two years, produces delectable cookies and cakes using natural ingredients without any artificial additives. Lin-lin Li, the operation manager of TriBake, mentioned that CDF placed an order for snacks for the entire year at the beginning of the year. Each shipment was completed by more than 20 working partners in three sheltered workshops in Taipei, providing stable, friendly, and inclusive employment opportunities for disabled individuals.

Application-specific integrated circuit designer Faraday Technology Corp (智原) yesterday said that although revenue this quarter would decline 30 percent from last quarter, it retained its full-year forecast of revenue growth of 100 percent. The company attributed the quarterly drop to a slowdown in customers’ production of chips using Faraday’s advanced packaging technology. The company is still confident about its revenue growth this year, given its strong “design-win” — or the projects it won to help customers design their chips, Faraday president Steve Wang (王國雍) told an online earnings conference. “The design-win this year is better than we expected. We believe we will win

The following year, the restaurant in the heart of Montmartre lost its star rating. Chizuko Kimura insisted that the new star is still down
While China’s leaders use their economic and political might to fight US President Donald Trump’s trade war “to the end,” its army of social media soldiers are embarking on a more humorous campaign online.

However, China’s online warriors
