Recently, three foreign judges of Hong Kong's Court of Final Appeal have announced their resignations, with one British judge, Lord Sumption, pointing out in a published article that the oppressive political atmosphere in Hong Kong is preventing judges from making independent judgments, leading to a crisis in the rule of law. The judges' resignations reflect concerns over the influence of China on Hong Kong's judicial system, as well as issues with the National Security Law, limitations on judicial independence, and the closing of democratic media outlets and arrests of dissenting voices in Hong Kong, creating a stifling atmosphere reducing the judiciary's ability to protect freedoms and potentially turning Hong Kong into an authoritarian state.

Taiwan's stock market surged to a new high of 22,003.71 points led by TSMC (2330) on June 11, but shipping giants like Evergreen (2603), Yang Ming (2609), and Wan Hai (2615) experienced a significant plunge. These top three shipping companies began to sharply decline during mid-morning, with Evergreen falling below 200 points, down over 8%. Market analysts attribute this to fluctuations in European shipping rates, as the freight index (Europe Line) recently plummeted and reached a decrease of over 9%. This may have resulted from a UN Security Council resolution on the Gaza Strip conflict, increasing pressures on future contracts and impacting current trends.
