He stated that Lais speech was filled with lies and deception, hostility and confrontation, stubbornly adhering to the erroneous "Taiwan independence" stance, promoting the fallacies of so-called "sovereign independence" and "non-subordination," exaggerating the "mainland threat," escalating cross-strait confrontation, and deliberately seeking "independence through force" and "independence through foreign support," thus undermining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. This once again confirms that he is an out-and-out "disruptor of cross-strait peace" and a "creator of the Taiwan Strait crisis." While continuing to advocate "Taiwan independence" and manipulate "anti-China" sentiments, he hypocritically claims to promote cross-strait dialogue and exchanges, attempting to deceive the Taiwanese people and mislead international public opinion. These habitual tricks have been seen through by an increasing number of Taiwanese people, and his deceptive behavior and provocative actions will inevitably be met with resolute opposition from compatriots on both sides of the strait and the international community, and are doomed to failure.The Nikkei 225 index closed down 746.18 points, or 1.23%, at 59,804.41 on Wednesday, May 20.Jansson, Deputy Governor of the Swedish Central Bank: All monetary policymakers are thinking about how far-reaching the impact of supply disruptions following the Middle East wars will be.

Crypto Assets Shed $800 Billion in Market Value in A Month

According to statistics site CoinMarketCap, crypto assets have lost about $800 billion in market value in the last month, reaching a low of $1.4 trillion on Tuesday, as the end of free monetary policy dampens desire for risk assets.


Bitcoin, which accounts for roughly 40% of the cryptocurrency market, fell to a 10-month low on Tuesday before rebounding to $31,450, only six days after hitting $40,000. It was down more than 54% from its all-time high of $69,000 on November 10th.


Prices of digital assets have fallen, reflecting a drop in stocks on worries of aggressive interest rate rises throughout the world to combat decades-high inflation. The Nasdaq, which is heavily weighted in technology, was down 28% from its all-time high in November 2021.


According to CoinMarketCap, the total crypto market worth was $2.2 trillion on April 2, down from an all-time high of $2.9 trillion in early November.


"Bitcoin remains closely tied to larger economic circumstances, implying that the road ahead may regrettably be bumpy, at least for the time being," stated blockchain data firm Glassnode in a note.


Investors were also alarmed by signs of weakness in stablecoins, which are normally a safer crypto currency. TerraUSD, the fourth-largest stablecoin in the world, lost a third of its value on Tuesday after losing its dollar peg.


According to a study issued on Monday by digital asset management Coinshares, despite bitcoin's price drop, funds and products related to it saw inflows of $45 million last week as investors took advantage of market weakness.


"An enormous amount of liquidity has inflated some of these cryptocurrencies," said Nordea Asset Management's senior macro analyst, Sebastien Galy. As various central banks tighten their monetary policies, he expects crypto, which is also tied to high-growth equities, will face pressure.
