Taiwan's foreign currency reserves shed nearly 1 billion dollars. DPA, Oct.

("Taiwan's foreign currency reserves dropped by nearly 1 billion US dollars
in September due to the net outflow of foreign capital")
My comment: There are two reasons for flight of foreign capital (out of
Taiwan). Taiwan stock market crashed and US banks and financial markets, in
a funk, need money
