On June 13, chip manufacturing giant Onsemi announced a global cut of approximately 1,000 jobs to streamline operations and reduce costs, amidst challenges in the softening electric vehicle market and excess inventory.

Don Quijote, the well-known Japanese chain store, is a top shopping destination for many Taiwanese tourists in Japan. When shopping at Don Quijote, pay attention to the price tags as there may be different insights to gain. Taiwanese writers 'Fish Paste Couple' pointed out three tags to not overly concern about: '驚安' (reasonable price), '最驚安' (very reasonable price), and '地域限定' (region-limited). They advised caution when seeing '清倉品' (clearance items) or '已降價' (price reduced), emphasizing the importance of checking the product conditions. Additionally, they mentioned that the tag '有特定理由' (specific reason) suggests store-specific promotions, which could be worth considering because other stores may not offer similar discounts.
