Exhausted firefighters yesterday said they had finally brought Australia’s largest “megablaze” under control, as wet weather promised to deliver much-needed respite for countryside ravaged by bushfires.

New South Wales (NSW) firefighters said they finally had the upper hand in the fight against the vast Gospers Mountain fire on Sydney’s northwestern outskirts, which has been burning for almost three months.

Visiting the area yesterday, NSW Rural Fire Service Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons said there was a “small area of burning still to complete,” but the “containment prognosis looks promising.”

The fire seared an area of national park three times the size of Greater London and lit several connected blazes totaling more than 800,000 hectares.

As residents and authorities continued to come to grips with the sheer scale of the devastation, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology forecast some firegrounds areas could get up to 50 millimeters of rain in the next week, a relief after a prolonged drought.

If that forecast bears out, the NSW Rural Fire Service said it would be “all of our Christmas, birthday, engagement, anniversary, wedding and graduation presents rolled into one. Fingers crossed.”

Dozens of other fires are yet to be controlled. The climate change-fueled fires have prompted an international outpouring and donations from around the world to help communities and animal populations.

Australian Minister for the Environment Sussan Ley has warned that in some areas, koalas might have to be reclassified as endangered.

The government has earmarked an initial A$50 million (US$35 million) to spend on helping with the wildlife recovery.

“This has been an ecological disaster, a disaster that is still unfolding,” Australian Treasurer Josh Frydenberg announcing the emergency fund he visited the Port Macquarie Koala Hospital, where 45 koalas were being treated for burns.

“We know that our native flora and fauna have been very badly damaged,” he said.

In a mission dubbed Operation Rock Wallaby, national park staff used helicopters to air drop thousands of kilos of carrots and sweet potatoes to brush-tailed rock wallabies in remote areas of NSW.

“The provision of supplementary food is one of the key strategies we are deploying to promote the survival and recovery of endangered species like the brush-tailed rock wallaby,” NSW Minister of Environment Matt Kean said. “The wallabies typically survive the fire itself, but are then left stranded with limited natural food as the fire takes out the vegetation around their rocky habitat.”

Frydenberg said the “iconic” koala would be a focus of national government funding, adding that the full extent of the damage would not be known until the fires are out — something experts say could be months away.

The political impact of the bushfires, which have razed more than 11.2 million hectares, nearly half the area of the UK, is also coming into sharper relief.

A poll released yesterday showed Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s approval ratings have nosedived in the face of widespread anger over his handling of the deadly crisis.

The Newspoll survey showed 59 percent of voters are dissatisfied with the conservative leader’s performance overall, and only 37 percent were satisfied, an abrupt reversal since his shock election win in May last year.

Siemens chief executive officer Joe Kaeser speaks at a news conference after talks with climate activists in Berlin on Friday last week.Photo: Reuters
Germany’s Siemens AG has decided to stand by a contract linked to a coal mine in Australia that climate activists had called for it to drop.

The German industrial conglomerate’s chief executive officer, Joe Kaeser, had promised to review Siemens’ involvement in the project in light of climate activists’ opposition.

Yet in a statement late on Sunday, Kaeser said that “there is practically no legally and economically responsible way to unwind the contract without neglecting fiduciary duties.”

Siemens on Dec. 10 signed the contract to supply signaling systems for a rail link between the Carmichael coal mine and a port. The vast mine is owned by Indian firm Adani Power Ltd, and the contract is worth about 18 million euros (US$20 million) to Siemens.

Kaeser wrote that there were competitors — “thus, whether or not Siemens provides the signaling, the project will still go ahead.”

However, he added after a managing board meeting that “given the importance of legitimate environmental concerns, we have secured the right to pull out of the contract if our customer violates the very stringent environmental obligations.”

The group Fridays for Future, which has held weekly protests demanding action against climate change for more than a year, wanted Siemens to quit the mine project, because emissions from coal-fired power plants contribute to global warming.

Kaeser met the group’s representatives on Friday.

Leading Fridays for Future activist Luisa Neubauer called Kaeser’s decision “disastrous” and said the group was planning to demonstrate in front of Siemens offices yesterday.

Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes and Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers, two of the NFL’s top-rated quarterbacks, moved closer to a potential Super Bowl clash with home playoff victories on Sunday.

Mahomes threw for five touchdowns as the Chiefs overturned a 24-point deficit to defeat the Houston Texans 51-31 in a thrilling post-season duel.

Mahomes finished with 321 passing yards from 23 of 35 attempts at Arrowhead Stadium to send the Chiefs into a home American Football Conference Championship showdown against the Tennessee Titans this week for a place in the Super Bowl.

“We didn’t start the way we wanted to,” Mahomes said. “All we were preaching was: ‘Let’s do something special. Everyone is counting us out, let’s just keep fighting, one play at a time.’”

Rodgers completed 16 of 27 passes for 243 yards, while Davante Adams made eight catches for a club playoff record 160 yards as the Packers pulled out a 28-23 triumph over the Seattle Seahawks.

The Packers are to travel to California to battle the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday in the National Football Conference championship.

“I am going to enjoy a nice glass of Scotch tonight,” Rodgers said. “Then get onto the film of San Francisco and get ready for a tough opponent.”

The 49ers walloped the Packers 37-8 at home on Nov. 24 last year.

Sunday’s winners are to meet at Super Bowl 54 in Miami on Feb. 3.

Texans coach Bill O’Brien said his team had not taken anything for granted after racing to an early lead.

It “was a really good lead, no doubt about it, but I don’t think any lead is safe versus these guys,” O’Brien said. “We needed to score 50 points and we weren’t able to do that.”

Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson finished with 388 yards and two touchdowns in a losing effort.

The Chiefs were given an almighty scare after a disastrous start.

An error-strewn opening spell saw the Texans score unanswered touchdowns from Kenny Stills, Lonnie Johnson and Darren Fells to move into a 21-point lead.

However, with the Chiefs reeling, the Texans gave the hosts respite from the onslaught early in the second quarter, with Houston coach Bill O’Brien opting for a field goal on a fourth down and one from 31 yards. Ka’imi Fairbairn drilled the kick to put Houston into a 24-0 lead.

However, momentum shifted on the ensuing kickoff when Mecole Hardman returned 58 yards to the Houston 42-yard line.

Two plays later, Mahomes hit Damien Williams from 17 yards to make it 24-7 and put the Chiefs on the board.

The Chiefs stopped Houston on a fake punt on the next series and Mahomes took advantage, finding tight end Travis Kelce from five yards for a touchdown.

“We had momentum at that point and it felt like we were going to try and make a play,” O’Brien said. “It just didn’t work.”

DeAndre Carter fumbled away the kickoff, allowing the Chiefs to recover at the Houston six. Mahomes hit Kelce for another touchdown three plays later and then drove the Chiefs 90 yards to set up another touchdown to Kelce for a 28-24 halftime lead.

Williams ran for two touchdowns to give Kansas City a 41-24 lead. Watson rushed for a five-yard touchdown to put the Texans back to within 10, but the Chiefs added another touchdown followed by a field goal to extend their lead to 51-21.

Green Bay’s Aaron Jones ran 21 times for 62 yards, including two one-yard touchdowns, as the Packers took a 21-3 halftime lead then held on in the fourth quarter.

New Zealand schools to teach about climate crisis

NOT COMPULSORY:Changes to the curriculum will include materials to help students talks about how they feel about climate issues and how to create action plans
Every school in New Zealand is this year to have access to materials about the climate crisis written by the country’s leading science agencies — including tools for students to plan their own activism, and to process their feelings of “eco-anxiety” over global heating.

The curriculum is to put New Zealand at the forefront of climate change education worldwide; governments in Australia and the UK have both faced criticism for lack of cohesive teaching on the climate crisis.

The New Zealand scheme, which will be offered to all schools that teach 11 to 15 year-old students, will not be compulsory, the government said.

“One of the pieces of feedback we’ve got from teachers around the country is that they’re really crying out for something like this, because kids are already in the conversation about climate change,” said New Zealand Minister for Climate Change James Shaw, the co-leader of the left-leaning Green Party.

“They’re seeing stuff on social media on a daily basis and none of it’s good news, and the sense of powerlessness that comes from that is extremely distressing,” he said.

Hundreds of thousands of school and university students around the world, including in New Zealand, walked out of their classes for a series of climate strikes last year, a year when scientists said that climate change was an “existential threat to civilization.”

Young people feel betrayed and abandoned by older generations over their lack of action on the climate issue, and worry about it has increasingly sparked anxiety and depression, a group of British psychologists said in September.

A pilot of the New Zealand scheme, which ran in one school in the city of Christchurch in 2018, had led to the introduction of materials for the national roll-out that helped students process their emotions about the climate issue, Shaw said.

“Being in the conversation itself causes stress,” he said.

By necessity, students would “delve into the bad news” of the science explaining the climate crisis, he added.

However, the resources had been bolstered with “quite an emphasis on talking through with students how they’re feeling about it,” he said.

Materials created for teachers that were provided to the reporters suggest students keep a “feelings thermometer” to track their emotions, learn how to change defeatist self-talk, and consider how their feelings could generate action and response.

“It helps kids to see that it is a fixable problem and people are working on it, and there is something they can foresee for themselves in terms of their own futures,” Shaw said.

Another tool in the curriculum helps students create and carry out an action plan on a particular environmental issue — such as creating an edible garden.

The curriculum included text, video, and advice for teachers, New Zealand Minister of Education Chris Hipkins said in a statement.

“It explains the role science plays in understanding climate change, aids understanding of both the response to it and its impacts — globally, nationally and locally — and explores opportunities to contribute to reducing and adapting to it impact on everyday life,” he said.

Italy this year will become the first country in the world to make sustainability and the climate crisis compulsory subjects for students, with material integrated into regular lessons, such as geography.

A Thomson Reuters Foundation article published in the Taipei Times (“Can nations prosper by putting well-being before GDP?” Jan. 6, page 7) presented an idea that I quite like, and which might reveal the hardcore liberal, latitudinarian that I am — I have never voted for a single Republican.

I have commented on this in the past, praising Bhutan’s move in the 1970s toward a well-being, happiness-oriented society and economy. With Bhutan’s focus on psychological well-being, health, education, the nature and management of time, cultural diversity, effective governance, community vitality, ecological diversity and living standards, all I can say is: “Here, here!”

My question here is: Can Taiwan be a leader in this undertaking and its goals?

Taiwan has been ranked as the happiest country in East Asia and the 25th-happiest in the world, according to last year’s World Happiness Report; the nation has only become happier in the past few years.

There have also been local surveys examining happiness levels in Taiwan, so the movement is alive in the nation, and I have a feeling that many Taiwanese are indeed thinking of just what these metrics mean as they look at their lives and how they can be more content.

The bottom line is that this is something that people everywhere want — and the whole idea of GDP as a strict measure of everything that is best in a society is being looked down upon more.

With that said, we might turn to an opinion piece by Walter Lohman that was published on the same day (“Accentuate the positive going into the new year,” page 6).

In this piece Lohman takes exactly the wrong view, and celebrates all that is great about ultra-free markets.

Taiwan, he says, “values markets over state planning, free flow of goods and services over protectionism. This is generally the same in Washington.”

To be sure it is, and ever since the Washington Consensus foisted on the world the worst ideas about economic development and planning, the idea of endless privatization, deregulation, slashing government support and forbidding austerity measures has resulted not only in a seethingly hostile anti-globalization, anti-liberal markets response, but also in economic inequality and wealth concentration in the top percentiles of the ultra-wealthy.

Such ideas have for years been largely denounced.

Now admittedly, as the first piece said: “A focus on sustained economic growth has helped raise hundreds of millions of Asians out of poverty,” and this will always be important.

Nobody is dismissing the idea of economic prosperity outright, and this model has added to happiness levels everywhere, but this economic planning, in the best sense, very much requires state planning.

So, Taiwan, it is in your hands. Can you make your people happier, more content, comfortable, satisfied with their nation and its governors, and veritably elated with their neighbors and all the people that visit the nation?

Let us hope this is true, and Taiwan can branch away from a draconian, rigid look at economics — the “management of the home,” not “make every penny possible and to hell with anyone that disagrees.”

To achieve economic success and related levels of contentment we must “take into account concepts like well-being so that we ensure our economic system is truly aligned with societal goals,” as Gemma Corrigan, lead, sustainable markets at the World Economic Forum, said in the first article.

Dakar Rally mourning after fatal crash

MOTORCYCLE RIDER:Australian Toby Price was the first to discover Paulo Goncalves of the Hero Motorsports team lying on the sand after the crash near Wadi al-Dawasir

Portuguese motorbike rider Paulo Goncalves has died after a crash in the Dakar Rally on Sunday, the 40-year-old becoming the motorsport marathon’s 25th fatality.

The fatal crash occurred 276km into the seventh stage from Riyadh to Wadi al-Dawasir.

“The organizers received an alert at 10:08am and dispatched a medical helicopter that reached the biker at 10:16am and found him unconscious after going into cardiac arrest,” a statement on the rally’s official Web site reported. “Following resuscitation efforts in situ, the competitor was taken by helicopter to Layla Hospital, where he was sadly pronounced dead.”

Dakar director David Castera said that it was Australian defending bike champion Toby Price who was the first to discover the stricken Goncalves lying on the sand.

Goncalves was competing in his 13th edition of the Dakar. He made his debut in 2006, when it was staged in Africa, and took second to Marc Coma in 2015 in South America.

“Paulo was someone who had been around for a long time, who we all knew, who was a feature of the rally,” Castera said. “So this is a very difficult time.”

The Indian-backed Hero Motosports rider only made it to this year’s first Dakar staged in Saudi Arabia after recovering from a ruptured spleen in a crash in his native Portugal last month.

Following surgery before the rally got under way, he said: “It’s a victory for me to be here at the start.”

Goncalves was placed 46th in the overall bike standings after Friday’s sixth stage.

His death cast a pall over the seventh stage, won by Carlos Sainz in a Mini.

The previous Dakar competitor to be killed was Polish rider Michal Hernik in 2015 in Argentina.

With 20 of the 25 Dakar deaths since the inaugural edition in 1979 made up of bike riders, Castera dwelt on the risks they face.

“We know that bikes are dangerous. You set off in the morning, you have a knot in your stomach sometimes, because you don’t have any protection, you have nothing,” said Castera, a veteran of five Dakars on a motorbike. “They all know that, these riders.”

Stephane Peterhansel, who counts six bike wins among his 13 Dakar titles, said: “I always felt I was playing with fire on a bike, I ended my bike career very young and saw friends die in front of me.”

“When we passed [the scene of the crash], I had a really bad feeling,” he said. “When you see all the medical officers busy, a survival blanket over the rider, you know something terrible has happened.”

Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa in an official statement said that Goncalves had died “attempting to accomplish the dream of winning one of the most dangerous and toughest rallies in the world.”

He described him as “a highly distinguished” sporting ambassador for Portugal while Portuguese MotoGP rider Miguel Oliveira paid tribute to Goncalves’ “courage and bravery.”

Two-time former Formula One champion Fernando Alonso, making his Dakar debut, said: “This sport is extreme ... mechanical sports can never be 100 percent safe.”

Yesterday’s motorcycle action on the eighth stage in and around Wadi al-Dawasir was canceled “to give the riders time to mourn their friend,” organizers said.

On a sombre day in the desert, Sainz tightened his grip on the overall car standings with his third stage win of this year’s edition.

American Ricky Brabec retained his overall bike lead finishing fifth on Sunday behind Kevin Benavides.

SOCCER

Ronaldo stretches streak

Cristiano Ronaldo stretched his goal-scoring streak to six consecutive league games as Juventus took top spot in Serie A on Sunday with a 2-1 win over AS Roma, whose defeat was made worse by a cruciate ligament injury that rising star Nicolo Zaniolo sustained. Juventus moved two points ahead of Inter after going two goals up in just 10 minutes in Rome. “We were very good for 60 minutes. Then, if you play against Roma, it is almost inevitable to suffer in the end,” Juventus manager Maurizio Sarri said. Defender Merih Demiral found a way through after three minutes when he connected with a Paulo Dybala free-kick. Minutes later Argentine Dybala was hauled down in the box and Ronaldo stepped up to convert from the spot to make it nine goals in six league games. Zaniolo was stretchered off in tears eight minutes before the break after sustaining a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. Zaniolo, who is considered one of Italy’s most exciting young talents and was a rare bright point for Roma in a torrid first half, was to undergo surgery yesterday. “I swear to you ... I’ll be stronger than before,” the 20-year-old wrote on Instagram. Earlier, Alejandro Berenguer struck the only goal as Torino beat Bologna to climb to seventh, while Hellas Verona won 2-1 over Genoa. Elsewhere, UC Sampdoria thrashed Brescia 5-1, ACF Fiorentina beat SPAL 1-0 and Udinese beat US Sassuolo 3-0.

SOCCER

City dominant over Villa

Manchester City delivered a supremely dominant team performance to beat Aston Villa 6-1 on Sunday and take second place in the Premier League. Sergio Aguero became the league’s all-time top-scoring foreign player on 177 goals and scorer of most hat-tricks by any player with 12 as the whole City team shone in yet another big win. “I’m so happy for the record, but I thank my teammates, because they helped me this year,” Aguero said. Aguero scored three goals and had an assist for Riyad Mahrez, who scored two in a game for the first time in 16 months. Gabriel Jesus scored off a cross from Kevin de Bruyne, whose 14 assists this season are six more than any other player in the Premier League. Anwar el-Ghazi scored from a penalty for Villa. Elsewhere, Watford beat AFF Bournemouth 3-0.

BADMINTON

Momota hurt in fatal crash

Badminton world No. 1 Kento Momota was injured in a pre-dawn fatal vehicle collision in Malaysia yesterday, just hours after he secured his first victory of the season at the Malaysia Masters. The Japanese shuttler and three others were thought to have been on their way to Kuala Lumpur International Airport when the hired van they were in rammed into the rear of a 30-tonne truck, according to statements from the police and a local fire department. The driver of the van was killed in the crash and his body had to be cut free from the wreckage. Police and the Malaysian Badminton Association (BAM) said that in addition to Momota, the three others involved in the incident were his physiotherapist, his assistant coach and a Badminton World Federation official. The association said in a statement that Momota sustained multiple lacerations to his face and a fractured nose.

Retired Taiwanese food scientist for NASA shares with students stories from his 38-year career

Mike Kuo (郭正光) wasn’t in Penghu’s Jhenhai Junior High School (鎮海國中) last week to discuss politics; instead he talked about testing water filters in zero gravity and developing sweet-and-sour pork for astronauts.

The former president of the US-based Formosa Association for Public Affairs may be known to Taipei Times readers for his opinion pieces, but Kuo also spends part of his visits to Taiwan talking to students about his 38-year career as a food scientist for NASA.

Kuo joined NASA in 1980, when it was recruiting for food experts for its Space Shuttle program, which launched its first flight in April 1981. His presentation is a fascinating journey from the 1960s, where astronauts munched on dry compressed chicken powder, to the modern day where they can enjoy fresh vegetables and chef-created meals.

Although nutrition, such as making up for calcium loss which is faster in space, is the main objective, Kuo says a significant part is to find ways to satisfy the astronauts’ appetites. His team has developed at least 80 types of food and 20 drinks over the years, covering the cuisine of the diverse crew on the International Space Station (ISS).

“For example, someone wanted sweet-and-sour pork, so we freeze dried fried pork and experimented with sugar, vinegar and tomato powder,” Kuo says. “We try to make their dining experience as similar to the conditions on Earth as possible. Eating is one of their main sources of enjoyment up there.”

SPACE FOOD EVOLUTION

Space food has come a long way, as Kuo shows photos of how it has evolved over the decades. It’s evident that the food scientists aren’t just trying to simulate food on Earth, but also the dining environment. Instead of just sucking out what looks like baby food from a packet in the early days, Kuo says they want the astronauts to be able to sit down and eat properly.

They even tried using hard plastic containers to resemble bowls at one point, but found it too heavy and bulky.

“It costs US$10,000 to send one pound of material into space,” Kuo says. “We have to minimize what they bring.”

All food needs to last at least two years. A photo of a standard meal includes Chessmen cookies, kidney beans, a sausage patty, pudding, Life Savers candy and lemonade. The innovations in the field continue, as astronauts can now grow fresh vegetables on board, and in October last year ISS astronauts were able to use 3D bioprinting to create artificial beef.

Kuo says that at first, his team designed strict daily meals for the astronauts to make sure they were getting adequate nutrition. But after finding out that many weren’t following the plan, NASA switched to a bar code system so they could at least track what the astronauts ate and advise accordingly.

Astronauts have reported that their taste buds tend to dull in space, and many reports show that they prefer sharper and spicier foods — evidenced with the immense popularity of Tabasco sauce aboard the ISS. While astronauts can also add salt and pepper water to their food, Kuo says too much salt can increase calcium loss, which is one of the major nutritional issues in zero gravity.

PRACTICAL ISSUES

Kuo spent at least five years testing ways to reduce calcium loss through diet. His team found that they could simulate space calcium loss conditions on Earth by having people lie down at a certain angle, and paid homeless people to serve as test subjects from four to 26 weeks.

Why Latin American protests will not die down soon

Violent protests gripping the region would endure as long as the underlying reasons fueling them, such as wealth inequality and repression, persist
It is called Italy Plaza, a vast traffic circle in the Chilean capital, Santiago. To the north and east live the country’s ultra-wealthy. One way of describing those out of touch with the rest of the country’s grim reality is to say they have “never been below Italy Plaza.”

The spot is ground zero for furious street demonstrations, which have turned Chile from Latin America’s richest and stablest nation into a test case of profound social unrest. The area, which demonstrators have renamed Dignity Plaza, is coated in layers of graffiti, with most shops looted and shuttered.

The case of Chile — US$2 billion in property damage, 26 dead — has shocked the investor world, because it was supposed to be a regional model.

However, the virus of discontent was already spreading elsewhere, with streets in Colombia, Ecuador and Bolivia turning into scenes of pot-banging fire-setting fury.

Numerous factors are at play. Among the most significant are economic inequality, ethnic tensions and police brutality. While the most violent protests have for now dissipated, these forces continue to gnaw away at social cohesion and could once again spark unrest unexpectedly and suddenly. Institutions and the rule of law are fragile, and economies are expected to have another tough year.

Here are snapshots of three issues in three countries:

CHILE’S INEQUALITY

Every Friday, after David Vargas completes his shift as a technician at a credit-card company in the upscale Santiago neighborhood of Nueva Las Condes, he heads to nearby Italy Plaza to join the protests.

Vargas, 38, embodies Chile’s socioeconomic divide. He comes from a poor family and works among the well-to-do. While he once watched the gap shrink, lately he has seen it stagnate. He was struck when he saw the difference in how the authorities treated his work neighborhood from the one where he lives.

The area around his company “was packed with soldiers,” he said. “They were guarding everything when absolutely nothing had happened. But if you went downtown or to other parts of Santiago, it was pure chaos. They just guarded from Italy Plaza to the rich neighborhoods.”

Vargas’ father, a former factory worker, collects a monthly disability pension of just 80,000 pesos (US$103). His mother cleaned houses.

“I’m protesting mostly because of the pensions and to show solidarity, because right now I have privileges that many don’t have,” Vargas said. “I know what it is to live in a poor neighborhood, I know what it is to wait for eight hours at public hospitals for service, I know what it means that the elderly receive extremely low pensions and don’t have enough to live or to buy food.”

A few blocks away is where it all began. In early October last year at a subway station, students plotted ticket evasions sparked by a fare increase of 30 pesos. They coordinated on social networks and dangled their feet over the tracks to force trains to stop. Things got nasty, fast. Police special forces clashed with the protesters and groups set dozens of stations on fire.

Stunned, the Chilean government declared a state of emergency and a curfew, sending the army to the streets. Protests morphed into the biggest social unrest since at least former Chilean president Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship in the 1970s and 1980s.

They were now against every injustice imaginable: low pensions, school debts, health services, public education, police brutality, women’s rights, even replacing the Pinochet-era constitution, which Chilean President Sebastian Pinera has agreed to in an attempt to calm the situation.

Iran denies plane cover-up by government

PROTESTS:Tehran’s police chief said his officers had not fired on demonstrators angry over the downing of a Ukrainian jetliner last week, despite video footage
Iran’s government yesterday denied a cover-up after it took days for the armed forces to admit a Ukrainian airliner was shot down by mistake last week.

“In these sorrowful days, many criticisms were directed at relevant officials and authorities ... some officials were even accused of lying and a cover-up but, in all honesty, that was not the case,” spokesman Ali Rabiei said in remarks aired on state television.

He also dismissed day tweets by US President Donald Trump voicing support for Iranians, saying the Iranians would remember Trump killed a top general and was the reason many were facing economic challenges, state media said.

Trump, who told Iran’s authorities in tweets in Farsi and English not to kill protesters and praised the “great Iranian people,” was shedding “crocodile tears” when voicing concern for Iranians, Rabiei said.

Meanwhile, protesters yesterday gathered for a third day in central Tehran amid public anger over the military’s admission that it had shot down the airliner, videos from inside Iran posted on social media showed.

However, it was not immediately possible to authenticate the videos, Reuters reported.

“They killed our elites and replaced them with clerics,” scores of protesters chanted at a Tehran university in one video, while another showed dozens of police in riot gear in elsewhere in Tehran.

In other developments, Tehran’s police chief, General Hossein Rahimi, has denied his officers opened fire on Saturday or Sunday to disperse demonstrators protesting against the government’s initial denial that it shot down the jetliner.

Videos sent to the New York-based Center for Human Rights in Iran and later verified by The Associated Press show a crowd of demonstrators fleeing as a tear gas canister landed among them.

People cough and sputter while trying to escape the fumes, with one woman calling out in Farsi: “They fired tear gas at people! Azadi Square. Death to the dictator.”

Another video shows a woman being carried away in the aftermath as a blood trail can be seen on the ground. Those around her cry out that she has been shot by live ammunition in the leg.

“Oh my God, she’s bleeding nonstop!” one person shouts.

Another shouts: “Bandage it!”

Photographs and video after the incident show pools of blood on the sidewalk.

“Police treated people who had gathered with patience and tolerance,” Iranian media quoted Rahimi as saying. “Police did not shoot in the gatherings since broad-mindedness and restraint has been agenda of the police forces of the capital.”

However, uniformed police officers were just one arm of Iran’s security forces who were out in force for the demonstrations.

Black-clad riot police on Sunday were in Vali-e Asr Square, at Tehran University and other landmarks, while Revolutionary Guard members patrolled on motorbikes and plainclothes security men were also out in force.

People looked down as they walked briskly past police, apparently trying not to draw attention to themselves.

There has also been a cultural outpouring of grief and anger from Iran’s creative community over the downing of the airplane that killed 176 people.

Some Iranian artists, including famed director Masoud Kimiai, withdrew from an upcoming international film festival, while two state television hosts resigned in protest over the false reporting about the cause of the plane crash.

無尾熊火災生還 卻被好心人害死
 澳洲大火數月來失控延燒，逾千萬公頃土地慘遭火吻，無數民房和動物棲息地被摧毀，預計可能有10億隻動物因為燒傷、缺水或缺乏食物死亡，日前焚燒最嚴重地區之一的南威爾斯政府展開拯救岩袋鼠的計畫，備了2噸多的胡蘿蔔和地瓜，空投食物進森林裡，讓在火災下生還的動物有食物可吃。不過最近一隻輕微燒傷的無尾熊在救治後傷勢逐漸復原，但牠最後卻是因為好心人餵牠喝的水而死於肺炎。 根據每日郵報(Daily Mail)報導，這隻名為「亞尼」(Arnie)的無尾熊日前從火災中被救出來，只有手腳受到輕微燒傷，很快就能夠痊癒，不過牠卻死於被救出來時，好心人餵牠喝的幾口水。 動物界野生動物庇護所(Animalia Wildlif

角逐國民黨主席 第一個人出現了
 政治中心／林瑞恩報導 國民黨在2020大選慘敗，不僅韓國瑜慘輸總統蔡英文260萬餘票，區域立委更是哀鴻遍野，因此黨內改革聲音不斷，其中新任黨主席人選成了外界關注焦點。今（13）日稍早，孫文學校創辦人張亞中就宣布，將投入黨主席的選戰，並洋洋灑灑地寫下「參選宣言」，更形容國民黨宛如南宋最後一個皇帝一樣，被元朝追兵追到了懸崖邊緣，前有大海，後有追兵，我們難道只能跳海？ ▲張亞中宣布角逐黨主席。（圖／翻攝自張亞中【孫文學校】臉書） 張亞中稍早於個人臉書上發文，對於國民黨的未來憂心忡忡，以「懸崖邊的反攻」為標題，擬定的參選全文如下： 中華民國與中國國民黨已經退到懸崖邊緣。我真的很難過，我真的很憂心。 首

嫁NONO七年 朱海君不生了原因揭曉
 龍千玉13日領軍師妹朱海君、向蕙玲及師弟鄔兆邦，忙裡偷閒到年貨大街採買，其中育有1女的朱海君透露跟老公NONO原打算拚個豬寶寶，但夫妻工作太過忙碌，加上經老師指點後適合四腳生肖的小孩，她說老鼠的腳不夠粗壯，所以決定暫緩做人進度，改拚牛寶寶。 由於下周就是農曆春節，提及招財秘笈，龍千玉笑稱自己個性較為傳統，每年都會準備1套全新的內在美，考慮到金鼠年特別買了金色款，自爆：「買3套是因為胖了，胖了快5公斤。」她解釋宣傳期常常很晚收工，心疼同仁從早忙到晚，因此會埋單請大家吃消夜，那男友滿意目前的狀態嗎？她甜說：「他認為健康比較重要。」而她打算陪媽媽到中南部走春，特別推掉演出，新年希望家人平安。 單身的

賭輸跳柳川 謝龍介：帶「兄弟」一起跳
 〔記者蔡文居／台南報導〕國民黨台南市黨部主委謝龍介今天除了履行承諾捐款30萬元的雞排款項給3個弱勢團體外，對於選前與台中市議員謝志忠對賭台中立委若未上5席，誰就跳台中柳川一事，謝龍介今天表示，他輸了會認帳，有欠帳，大家盡量來討，「這筆帳我會一條一條清，一定會履行的，不用急！」、「我會挑一個好天氣，帶我的患難兄弟秘雕一起跳。」 謝龍介選前在媒體一場直播中，與台中市議員謝志忠對賭台中立委，哪一個陣營未上5席，誰就跳台中柳川，當初原本對賭跳大甲溪，謝志忠說跳簡單一點，不要跳大甲溪，改跳柳川，謝龍介在直播時則承諾條件隨你開，也對這樣的對賭方式表示公道、沒問題。 對於網友要求兌現承諾一事，謝龍介表示，他

圖：壽山動物園進行三方動物交換，原有的沼林袋鼠將送到其他動物園。（記者陳萬強攝）

壽山動物園新的一年又有新成員加入，十三日舉辦「動物友好、搬家趣」，壽山動物園與新竹市立動物園、花蓮新光兆豐休閒農場進行動物交流，送出沼林袋鼠、羊駝及交換引進長鼻浣熊及絨鼠。壽山動物園初一至初五不打烊，歡迎大家利用春節連假來動物園走春。

高市府觀光長局邱俊龍表示，壽山動物園最重要的功能之一就是生態保育教育，壽山長期與各界動物園、農場進行動物交流計畫，歷年來包括伊蘭羚、北非髯羊、侏儒河馬、長鬃山羊等物種，一起為物種基因多樣性努力。

去年為了增加智利紅鶴的繁殖機會，將園區元老級的智利紅鶴們送到台北市立動物園，並引進同樣適合做為迎賓大使的狐蒙，吸引眾多民眾前來一睹壽山動物園可愛萌主。

邱局長說，今年首度與新竹動物園和花蓮新光兆豐農場進行動物交流計畫，三方都非常重視此次生態保育機會，合作協議由邱俊龍局長與新光兆豐公司周營運長及新竹市政府產業發展處呂清松副處長代表簽署，壽山動物園人氣吉祥物「壽Q家族」與帶著浣熊頭飾及袋鼠頭飾的可愛小朋友們一同唱唱跳跳，最後請到保育員進行沼林袋鼠與羊駝餵食示範。

壽山動物園將於二十五日（初一）至二十九日（初五）舉辦「驚奇鼠於你」新春系列活動，除了眾多精彩豐富內容，春節期間至壽山動物園粉絲團打卡按讚還可抽福袋。

圖：隱身山林中的冠月明土雞城，饕客們不能錯過的美食景點。(記者鄭錫堯攝)

高雄田寮區月世界有世界之景稱謂，當地的放山雞大餐更是饕客必訪之地。擁有30餘年總舖師經驗的冠月明店東曾冠傑，將放山雞口感發揮淋漓盡致，另溫體羊肉烹調出絕佳風味令饕客讚不絕口，多位民代及高階將領皆是座上賓，造訪過的饕客們直呼一期一會的美食豈能錯過，即日起來店消費打卡即招待有機蔬菜一盤。

▲「薑母羊肉湯」有著清澈的湯底，也蘊藏羊肉的鮮甜。

田寮區冠月明土雞城創辦人曾冠傑，自幼就與辦桌的總舖師為伍，薰陶出對美食的敏銳度，就學時就朝自己的興趣就讀農校，退伍後便投入辦桌總舖師的行列中，於1996年成立雲月明土雞城餐廳，由於自行研發的獨特口味獲得廣大饕客的青睞，店內經常高朋滿座，座無虛席，甚至前陸軍總司令黃幸強、高雄市前市長花媽、立委管碧玲、葉菊蘭‧等政治名人都是座上賓。為使自己的美食王國更上一層，兩年前同在田寮區的西德路山腳巷以自己的名字取名成立冠月明土雞城。

▲「白片羊肉」取自山羊極珍貴的部位，搭配薑絲及豆瓣醬一起享用美味加分。

冠月明土雞城成立後，為使饕客們品嚐到有機無毒的蔬菜，特在餐廳四週規畫大面積的菜園，栽種店裡所販售的新鮮蔬菜。店內所採用的放山雞及山羊肉都是親自飼養，品質看得見，健康也為饕客把關。冠月明所推出的無論是雞或羊的肉質都是紮實Q彈，每位造訪的饕客無不豎指稱讚，直呼這是一期一會的美食。

▲外酥內軟的「金黃豆腐捲」是冠月明招牌菜之一。

曾冠傑表示，為滿足饕客挑剔的嘴，不斷改良及研發新菜色，看似簡單的「薑母羊肉」湯確有大大的學問，其步驟是將老薑重複刷洗乾淨後切塊，加入切塊的溫體羊肉，放進熬煮將近2小時羊骨高湯內，再以文火將老薑味道釋放與羊肉結合，有效將羊臊味徹底去除，當鮮甜羊肉塊在舌間打轉時的好滋味，溢於饕客滿足及讚嘆的臉上；另還有「白片羊肉」取自山羊極珍貴的部位，僅以川燙後搭配薑絲及豆瓣醬一起享用，那入口即化的甜美口感，是老饕們一點再點的首選。

此外，以粗鹽將整隻雞包覆焗烤1.5小時的「鹽焗雞」更是優於坊間；酒香腐乳加上天然的蕃薯粉包裹放山雞塊油炸而成的「豆乳雞」，更是香酥不油膩；以豆皮包裹精緻豆腐、旗魚酥、香菜、美乃滋油炸而成的「金黃豆腐捲」，外表呈現金黃色，當一口咬下後外酥內軟的口感令人意猶未盡。還有一道鄉土民菜將無刺的扁魚搭配有機白菜烹調而成的「扁魚白菜」更不容錯過。

▲冠月明土雞城為滿足所有族群的需求，無論是小家庭或是大團體都能容納。

冠月明土雞城鄰近大崗山高爾夫球場、月世界風景區、花季度假飯店，走春啖美食最佳的選擇，隱身山林裡的美味，饕客們豈能錯過。為回饋一路相挺饕客的支持，凡來店消費打卡即贈有機蔬菜一盤，機會難得敬請把握。

春節即將到來，為表達對退舍榮民長輩的關懷，蔡炳坤副市長代表柯市長偕同國軍各單位、北市榮民服務處、社會局、衛生局及區公所等單位，前往信義區大我新舍慰問榮民長輩，一起茶敘話家常，提前拜年、祝賀他們佳節愉快，並致送年節禮品；同時藉以瞭解長輩們生活狀況及需求，提供最即時有效的服務與照顧，讓他們能無憂地安居於臺北市。

副市長致詞中表示，感謝榮民長輩年輕時為國辛勞，以及無私無我的犧牲奉獻，建設臺灣，讓國家得以富足繁榮，雖然長輩們有國防部及榮民服務處無微不至的照顧，但同時也是臺北市民，市政府也有關懷照拂的責任。因此，市政府一直以來致力於整合市府、各單位及社會等多方資源，提供完善的醫療及照護等服務，讓榮民長輩們獲得更好的照顧，健康快樂過好每一天。

兵役局長傅永茂說明，兵役局5年來秉持市長的施政理念，針對目前居住在轄內13處國軍單身退員宿舍的榮民伯伯們，除電話關懷外，平常也到舍走訪，三節前夕更由府級長官率隊，到各個退舍關懷慰問，讓早年為國奉獻的榮民前輩們得到更完善與舒適的生活照顧，使其感受到政府的關懷與敬意。

賈賓成為美國空軍首位穆斯林女性軍中牧師，她認為軍中牧師在部隊中占有重要地位，包含促進宗教自由、提供支持與慰藉等。（取自DVIDS網站）

編譯施欣妤／綜合外電報導

美國空軍10日宣布，其已任命首位穆斯林女性軍中牧師－賈賓少尉（Saleha Jabeen），其可促進空軍牧師團的多元化，提供不同宗教信仰者精神上的支持；北美最大穆斯林組織「北美穆斯林社群」（ISNA）也正式認可賈賓為美空軍首位女性「伊瑪目」（即伊斯蘭教教長）。

新聞稿說，美國空軍牧師長（COC）沙伊克少將，去年12月18日於芝加哥的天主教神學聯盟為賈賓授階，使其成為空軍首位穆斯林女性軍中牧師。沙伊克並指出：「每次宗教自由的進步，都是人類信仰的勝利」，「因此今天不但是穆斯林的大日子，也是所有人重要的一日」。

沙伊克強調空軍牧師團多元性的重要，並強調美國憲法「保障人民宗教信仰與否的自由」，而賈賓所屬的軍中牧師團（Chaplain Corps）即為確保空軍所有人的信仰自由。

《空軍時報》報導，出身印度的賈賓，14年前首度以留學生身份造訪美國，她原本計畫畢業後投身商界，卻在親兄弟加入美軍後，決定跟隨其從軍步伐，她曾在陸軍軍醫團與其他軍中牧師並肩，協助有需要的士官兵。未來賈賓在完成牧師勤務訓練（chaplaincy training）後，會被派遣至服務單位，為美國空軍士官兵提供宗教與心輔上的支持與協助。

記者李恬郁／綜合報導

根據衛福部的統計，交通事故是14歲以下孩童的主要死因，顯示交通安全知識對學童的重要性。中華車會（Chinese Taipei Automobile Federation，CTAF）與麗寶國際賽車場合作，打造中臺灣首座「兒童交通安全教育館（簡稱兒教館）」，透過實境體驗將道安知識傳遞給學童，讓下一代能更安全且安心地長大。

位於臺中麗寶國際賽車場的兒教館於今（13）日正式開幕。中華車會理事長、同時也是麗寶樂園渡假區副董事長陳志鴻表示，兒教館獨家引進「國際汽車聯盟FIA」的教材，並由麗寶重金打造全擬真道路情境，透過實境體驗將道安知識傳遞給學童；未來除了積極與公部門合作推廣到各國民小學之外，也將提供弱勢孩童免費體驗的機會，讓安全成為孩子們成長過程中唯一的路。

陳志鴻說明，兒童道安意識逐漸受到重視，FIA也以此發動「safe walk to school」活動，近年積極在各國推動，關心學童用路安全活動，臺灣也將透過兒教館的設置，響應此一活動，未來也將從室內到戶外，讓校園安全的範圍擴展到用路安全。

啟用儀式中，中華車會特別邀請數十名小朋友前來體驗道安課程，透過專業講師講述交通安全觀念，並分享交通意外的案例，讓在場學童充分意識道路上危機四伏，只要上路，就必須以最正確且謹慎的態度面對。其中，最讓學童們感到新奇的就是「路考測驗」，由小朋友親自駕駛歐洲進口的小汽車，在符合規範的場域上進行各種路考測驗，包括認識燈號與標誌、禮讓行人與如何應對突發狀況，都讓小朋友從遊戲中體會道安的重要性。

中華車會表示，兒教館耗資超過三千萬，並歷經兩年多的建造；所有的設計從牆面、教學路徑與號誌識別全都依照FIA與交通部的規範興建；在教材方面，更是獨家使用FIA認證的道安教材「Golden Rules」，也引進日本、新加坡與澳洲等國的教材，豐富多元的教學素材，不僅寓教於樂，更接軌國際。

陳志鴻指出，兒教館不僅讓學童以行人的角度學習，也能以駕駛的立場換位思考，強化道安意識；未來也會將如何避免大車內輪差的風險納入課程，讓學童不光能注意自身安全，也能成為家庭中最重要的提醒角色，減少悲劇發生的機會。若是完成且通過中華車會的課程，也將獲頒兒童駕駛執照，以示鼓勵，讓學童更能嚴肅看待交通安全的重要性。

為表彰並追思故參謀總長沈一鳴一級上將等8位國軍優秀殉職將士，國防部今（13）日進行移柩儀式，除由蔡英文總統偕同國防部長嚴德發等人，於國防部向殉職將士緬懷致敬外，另移柩車隊自三軍總醫院懷德廳出發至空軍松指部，路線全長約13公里共19處、37個致敬點，沿路有超過4千5百位國軍官兵代表，以及民眾自發性參與致意，感念8位殉職將士一生戎馬、奉獻國家的不朽精神。

故沈總長等8位將士，於本月2日搭乘黑鷹直升機執行慰勉戰備部隊任務時，不幸因公殉職，國防部今日傍晚進行移柩儀式。包括蔡總統、國家安全會議秘書長李大維、嚴部長及國軍退除役官兵輔導委員會主任委員馮世寬等人均出席緬懷致敬；另國防部則配合移柩路線，以交通要道、捷運站及營區等處為重點，共設置捷運文德站等19處（37點）致敬點，沿路並行經國防部、空軍及海軍司令部，最後抵達空軍松指部，供國軍官兵及民眾緬懷殉職將士。

移柩車隊自三軍總醫院懷德廳出發後，採「慢速引導」方式，保持車速約於10至15公里，並編組警車、憲兵敞篷引導車、重型機車為靈車的前導車隊，沿途行經捷運文德站、港墘站等致敬點，官兵代表行舉手禮與民眾持國旗致敬緬懷。

當殉職將士移柩車隊抵達國防部博愛營區大門時，蔡總統逐一向靈車鞠躬致意，緬懷總長與7位殉職將士竭盡忠誠、堅守崗位，足以彰顯武德典範，感念祂們的精神長存國人心中，並願其一路好走。隨後，移柩車隊逐一行經空軍司令部、海軍司令部、忠烈祠，以及中山北路、民族東路、復興北路與民權東路等臺北市區重要幹道，最後抵達空軍松指部內停柩，過程莊嚴隆重。

春節檔愛情電影《你的情歌》導演安竹間今（13）日率演員分享拍攝花絮，片中柯佳嬿與傅孟柏、謝博安演出三角戀，她形容1個沉穩內斂，1個很可愛、直接又純粹，「2個綜合一下該有多好！」傅孟柏立刻秒回：「沒有那麼好的事情。」逗樂全場，對近期合作演員的年紀有愈來愈年輕的趨勢，柯佳嬿笑說：「可能代表我保養做得不錯。」導演則打趣：「是長青樹的感覺嗎？」

《你的情歌》打造清新動人的愛情選擇題，柯佳嬿坦言：「我感覺我跟著電影角色去了一趟療癒的旅程，相信各位觀眾也會有同感。」安竹間讚賞柯佳嬿在演出被未婚夫背叛的情傷戲特別讓人動容，「不是說她曾經有那樣的狀態，但她對遭受情傷的情緒掌握度很高。」

當初被柯佳嬿、傅孟柏的演技所吸引，安竹間也發現他們都是愛音樂的人，「像傅孟柏以前是熱舞社，他在拍戲現場聽到音樂就會在旁邊扭，那是他很自然的反應。」殺青後更意外發現傅孟柏很會唱李宗盛的歌，柯佳嬿清新的歌聲也讓導演驚豔。

《超級偶像》歌唱冠軍謝博安首次演出電影，他坦言很緊張，也擔心拖累大家進度，「但佳嬿姊都會講冷笑話讓我放鬆，孟柏哥在表演上也給了我很多建議和幫助。」此外，《你的情歌》跑遍全臺各大美景，更遠赴花蓮、金瓜石等地取景拍攝，絕美清新的畫面風格讓影迷印象深刻，導演安竹間表示剪接時有特別挑過畫面，「除了演員本身很好看之外，我也有點小功勞。」

〔即時新聞／綜合報導〕國外臉書粉專11日在臉書上發文刊出一篇匿名投稿，投稿原標題為《我也是一個年輕人，我也有一顆想衝上街頭的心》。文中，投稿的中國境內學生許諾，當香港泛民主運動的烈火，燎原至神洲大陸之際，自己一定會站出來，走在抗爭的最前線。

根據貼文 ，這名中國學生表示，雖然微博上有眾多的忠黨愛國「小粉紅」被中國官媒洗腦，中國境內的資訊落差讓自己頭痛又無可奈何，但是在中國地區仍有為數不少的中國人民支持著港人的反送中運動。

這名中生表示，父母跟自己一樣也有渴望自由的心，因此自己很幸運得到父母的支持，能在去年7月1日與港人一同參與遊行。這名中生也承認，當晚在金鐘的抗爭現場，由於恐懼自己會因此「被消失」，所以當下雖然很想與港人同行，但卻退卻了。

這名中生表示，香港是中國最後一片民主自由的淨土，希望香港作為中國民主的前沿陣地，能繼續堅守信念，為了中國其他地區守住香港。最後，更向港人保證，當民主之火延燒至中國內陸地區之際，自己一定會挺身而出，加入前線示威者的行列。

文末，這名中生更喊話，「兄弟登山，各自努力。手足們，咱們煲底見。」

國外臉書粉專「內地生撐香港」與國外推特帳號「中流青年」合作發起「樹洞撐香港計畫」，提供一個安全匿名的管道，歡迎中國境內人民投稿發聲。

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — The NHL's top prospects will continue making their pre-draft stops in Buffalo for at least another three years.

The league on Monday announced an extension of its agreement to hold its annual scouting combine in Buffalo at the Sabres downtown practice facility, LECOM Harborcenter, through 2022. The announcement coincided with NHL Central Scouting releasing its mid-season rankings of draft-eligible prospects.

Buffalo has hosted the combine since 2015, after the weeklong event spent the previous 20-plus years being held at various locations around Toronto.

"I'm very excited about it," said Kevyn Adams, former NHL player and Sabres senior vice president of business administration. "It's an incredible opportunity for us as an organization and city to host such a great event for the last number of years, and now that it's moving forward."

Each year, Central Scouting invites more than 100 of its top-ranked prospects to the combine, where they undergo physical and medical testing, and also meet with team executives. It's considered the final major step in their pre-draft process, and traditionally held about three weeks before the draft.

The move from Toronto was prompted by the construction of the Sabres' $200 million practice complex which includes two rinks, a hotel, restaurant and workout facility, all connected to the team's arena.

Though the combine does not include on-ice testing, the floor of Harborcenter's main rink provides plenty of room for prospect testing to be conducted, while also allowing team executives to watch from the stands.

Those are considered upgrades from when the combine took place inside carpeted convention centers and hotel ballrooms in suburban Toronto.

In Buffalo, teams also have the advantage of going across the street to hold in-person meetings with prospects in arena suites. That's a switch from Toronto, where prospects had to be shuttled to various hotels, depending on where each team was based.

"It just seems to be a pretty good fit, and I do think the three-year term is indicative of that," Adams said. "In Toronto, it was spread out a little bit and just the logistics of it. When the the players and team management get here, it's all here."

Central Scouting director Dan Marr referred to the setup in Buffalo as ideal and featuring a venue that meets all needs.

"The NHL's annual scouting combine is one of the most valuable experiences in a young prospects' draft year, and we are thrilled to continue utilizing the Sabres best-in-class facilities," Marr said.

This year's combine was already on the NHL calendar, and scheduled to take place June 1-6.

The combine is also a boon to Buffalo by annually attracting some 250 NHL executives, scouts and media to the city and its redeveloped waterfront.

"This is exciting news for the Sabres, downtown Buffalo and our great hockey fans in the region," Mayor Byron Brown said. "The three-year extension is the hat-trick of extensions and will allow so many visitors during the NHL combine to experience our fabulous Canalside area, waterfront development and downtown development for years to come."

Scholars warn about China's military threats.

 (CNA photo)

China is likely to increase its pressure on Taiwan on many fronts as a result of Saturday's presidential and legislative elections, foreign and local analysts who observed the polls said at a workshop Sunday afternoon (Jan. 12).

President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文), whose campaign focused on protecting Taiwan's sovereignty from China, won re-election by 19 points over the Kuomintang's (KMT) Han Kuo-yu (韓國瑜), who was perceived by many as being friendly to Beijing.

Tsai's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) also maintained its majority in the Legislature, meaning that the Taiwan independence-leaning party will maintain complete control of Taiwan's government for the next four years.

Beijing cut off official contact with the Tsai administration during her first term and has pressured Taiwan because of her party's stance.

It poached several of its diplomatic allies, ran military missions not far from Taiwan, and kept its citizens from visiting Taiwan on more than one occasion, hurting Taiwan's tourism sector, and that may not change after Tsai's re-election, according the experts.

"There is a significant possibility that things will take a turn for the worse, depending mostly on what Beijing does," Jacques deLisle, director of Asia Program, Foreign Policy Research Institute (FPRI) based in Philadelphia, said during the workshop.

According to deLisle, coercive actions such as military muscle flexing and the poaching of allies, and economic incentives such as luring Taiwanese to work in China and lowering barriers of entry are likely to continue, he said.

China's carrier battle groups' sailing through the Taiwan Strait and overflights of Chinese fighter jets will probably increase in frequency, he warned, and argued that military might could be the last tool left in Beijing's toolbox to influence Taiwanese attitudes.

The scenario where Beijing pursues an armed conflict is unlikely, however, due to high direct and indirect costs, a possible U.S. intervention and wider security implications for the region, deLisle said.

Domestically, there is little reason for Tsai to change her approach toward Beijing because she and the DPP have now been elected twice with a similar stance, which rejects the "one-China principle" and "1992 consensus," deLisle said.

Both of those formulations either state directly or imply that Taiwan is part of China, something most Taiwanese do not accept.

At the same time, any attempt by Taiwan to change the direction of cross-Taiwan Strait relations could hurt relatively robust U.S.-Taiwan relations at present, deLisle said.

Other analysts echoed deLisle's views.

"Certainly, in the Xi (Jinping) administration, if a tight grip results in failure, the response will be to tighten the grip more and the reflection is 'we should have tightened earlier,'" said Jude Blanchette, Freeman Chair in China Studies at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).

Chinese President Xi is capable of tactical and rhetorical shifts, Blanchette said, but there is no indication his administration will fundamentally rethink its policy on issues of core territorial and political importance."

Lai I-chung (賴怡忠), president of the Prospect Foundation, said a change in Xi's Taiwan policy is unlikely because doing so would be tantamount to admitting to a mistake, which would pose a risk to his position atop the Chinese Communist Party.

On the effects of the elections on Taiwan internally, Shelley Rigger, Brown Professor of East Asian Politics at Davidson College in the U.S., said the election results suggested that not all of Tsai's supporters were fans of the DPP.

This was illustrated by the difference in the number of votes received by Tsai and by the DPP in the legislative political party vote.

She warned that the DPP's victory in the presidential election, which centered heavily on external relations, did not guarantee a victory in the next local elections in late 2022, which could focus more on her domestic agenda.

Kharis Templeman, adviser to the Project on Taiwan in the Indo-Pacific at Stanford University's Hoover Institution, said the KMT needs younger candidates who can speak the language of people under 40 and its new party chairman needs to focus on a youth strategy.

The KMT also has to adjust its position on key issues related to relations with China, such as the 1992 Consensus, because it seems detached from reality, Templeman said.

The policy was applied in 2008 when a KMT administration gained power and established warmer relations with Beijing, but the China of 2008 is not the China of 2020, he said.

Analysts agreed that external events such as Xi's speech in January 2019, in which he reiterated the one China principle and the "one country, two systems" model for Taiwan, the Hong Kong protests, a divided KMT, the selection of Han as the KMT's presidential nominee, and sovereignty issues, were the main factors that contributed to the victory of Tsai and the DPP.

The workshop, titled "Post-Election Outlook for Taiwan and Beyond: Stability or Uncertainty," was organized by the Taiwan Foundation for Democracy (TFD), and co-organized by the Foundation for Scholarly Exchange (Fulbright Taiwan), Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), and the FPRI.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Democrat Cory Booker dropped out of the presidential race Monday, ending a campaign whose message of unity and love failed to resonate in a political era marked by chaos and anxiety.

His departure now leaves a field that was once the most diverse in history with just one remaining African American candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick.

Since launching his campaign last February, Booker, a U.S. senator from New Jersey, struggled to raise the type of money required to support a White House bid. He was at the back of the pack in most surveys and failed to meet the polling requirements needed to participate in Tuesday's debate. Booker also missed last month's debate and exits the race polling in low single digits in the early primary states and nationwide.

In an email to supporters, Booker said that he “got into this race to win” and that his failure to make the debates prevented him from raising raise the money required for victory.

"Our campaign has reached the point where we need more money to scale up and continue building a campaign that can win -- money we don’t have, and money that is harder to raise because I won’t be on the next debate stage and because the urgent business of impeachment will rightly be keeping me in Washington," he said.

Booker had warned that the looming impeachment trial of President Donald Trump would deal a “big, big blow” to his campaign by pulling him away from Iowa in the final weeks before the Feb. 3 Iowa caucuses. He hinted at the challenges facing his campaign last week in an interview on The Associated Press' “Ground Game” podcast.

“If we can’t raise more money in this final stretch, we won’t be able to do the things that other campaigns with more money can do to show presence," he said.

In his email to supporters, Booker pledged to do “everything in my power to elect the eventual Democratic nominee for president," though his campaign says he has no immediate plans to endorse a candidate in the primary.

It’s a humbling finish for someone who was once lauded by Oprah Winfrey as the “rock star mayor” who helped lead the renewal of Newark, New Jersey. During his seven years in City Hall, Booker was known for his headline-grabbing feats of local do-goodery, including running into a burning building to save a woman, and his early fluency with social media, which brought him 1.4 million followers on Twitter when the platform was little used in politics. His rhetorical skills and Ivy League background often brought comparisons to President Barack Obama, and he'd been discussed as a potential presidential contender since his arrival in the Senate in 2013.

Now, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren has mastered the art of the selfie on social media. Another former mayor, Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana, is seen as the freshest face in the field. And Booker’s message of hope and love seemed to fall flat during an era characterized perhaps most strongly by Democratic fury over the actions of the Trump administration.

An early focus on building out a strong and seasoned campaign operation in Iowa and South Carolina may have hampered his campaign in the long run, as the resources he spent early on staff there left him working with a tight budget in the later stages of the primary, when many of his opponents were going on air with television ads. That meant that even later in the campaign, after he had collected some of the top endorsements in Iowa and visited South Carolina almost more than any other candidate, a significant portion of the electorate in both states either said they were unfamiliar with his campaign or viewed him unfavorably.

On the stump, Booker emphasized his Midwestern connections — often referencing the nearly 80 family members he has still living in Iowa when he campaigned there — and delivered an exhortation to voters to use “radical love” to overcome what he considered Trump's hate. But he rarely drew a contrast with his opponents on the trail, even when asked directly, and even some of Booker's supporters worried his message on Trump wasn't sharp enough to go up against a Republican president known for dragging his opponents into the mud.

Booker struggled to land on a message that would resonate with voters. He's long been seen as a progressive Democrat in the Senate, pushing for criminal justice reform and marijuana legalization. And on the campaign trail, he proposed establishing a $1,000 savings account for every child born in the U.S. to help close the racial wealth gap.

He was among the first candidates to release a gun control plan, and at the time it was the most ambitious in the field, as it included a gun licensing program that would have been seen as political suicide just a decade before. He also released an early criminal justice reform plan that focused heavily on addressing sentencing disparities for drug crimes.

But he also sought to frame himself as an uplifting, unifying figure who emphasized his bipartisan work record. That didn't land in a Democratic primary that has often rewarded candidates who promised voters they were tough-minded fighters who could take on Trump.

Booker's seat is up for a vote this year, and he will run for reelection to the Senate. A handful of candidates has launched campaigns for the seat, but Booker is expected to have an easy path to reelection.

Booker’s exit from the presidential race further narrows the once two dozen-strong field, which now stands at 12 candidates.

GENEVA (AP) — The U.N. health agency said Monday that Thai officials have reported that a traveler from the Chinese city of Wuhan has been hospitalized in Thailand with a recently identified new type of coronavirus.

The World Health Organization said Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus is consulting with the agency's emergency committee, which generally decides whether viral outbreaks merit an expanded response from health authorities. WHO said the case was identified on Wednesday, and the person was quickly hospitalized. It said Thai officials had indicated that the person was now recovering.

Officials in Wuhan said over the weekend that a total of 41 people were suffering from pneumonia caused by the new coronavirus, and a 61-year-old man had died from the illness — China's first first death from the new virus.

China says the cause of the Wuhan outbreak remains unknown but has sought to play down speculation that it could be a reappearance of the SARS epidemic, which killed hundreds in 2002 and 2003.

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses, some of which cause the common cold. Others found in bats, camels and other animals have evolved to cause more severe illnesses.

Common symptoms include a runny nose, headache, cough and fever. Shortness of breath, chills and body aches are associated with more dangerous kinds of coronaviruses, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

In January 1961, a law regulating the rights of journalists went into effect in Turkey. Since then, the country has used the month to celebrate journalism and freedom of information, as well as to honor reporters who have been injured or killed in the line of duty.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan marked Turkey's annual celebration of Working Journalists' Day on Friday by saying it is essential that the press be free to report unmuzzled. "The existence of media, which is polyphonic, effective and capable of informing the public without being subject to any restrictions, is an indispensable condition of a democratic and transparent society," he said in a statement released Thursday.

That statement likely rang hollow to Turkish journalists who have faced Erdogan's clampdown on the media since the attempted coup of July 2016. Freedom of the press has eroded under the president, with increasing government pressure and a media landscape that is less and less diverse. According to Turkey's Media and Law Studies Association (MLSA), some 11,000 journalists are unemployed, 114 are in detention, and 1,500 face trials.

Suffocating climate

It is difficult for journalists in Turkey to report about issues such as corruption or the government's conflict with Kurds, said Celal Baslangic, of Arti TV, an independent broadcaster based in Germany. "What's most important is to resist war and campaign for peace. But, at the moment in that country, those who want peace are treated like terrorists," he said.

Aydin Engin, a longtime columnist at the daily newspaper Cumhuriyet, had a similar opinion. He said media had not been free since the 2017 constitutional referendum, which abolished the office of prime minister and concentrated power in the presidency rather than the parliament. There is hardly a free media outlet left and the atmosphere is stifling, he said.

According to official statistics, one in four journalists in Turkey are out of work. Many outlets were closed down after the attempted coup. In 2018, after social workers, journalists were the profession most affected by unemployment, according to the Turkish Statistical Institute.

Read more: Turkish activist Osman Kavala kept in jail despite European human rights court ruling

The situation has been exacerbated by the fact that trade unions have been weakened. In just one year, the percentage of unemployed journalists rose by 4.7 percentage points, to 23.8%. In 2019, Reporters Without Borders ranked Turkey 157th in its World Press Freedom Index. "The witch-hunt waged by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's government against its media critics has come to a head since an abortive coup in July 2016. After the elimination of dozens of media outlets and the acquisition of Turkey's biggest media group by a pro-government conglomerate, the authorities are tightening the vice on what little is left of pluralism — a handful of media outlets that are being harassed and marginalised. Turkey is the world's biggest jailer of professional journalists."

Under government control

Many of Turkey's mainstream media outlets are in the hand of increasingly large conglomerates that are often owned by relatives and allies of the president's ruling Justice and Development Party.

Read more: The sultan's power is dwindling

Pressure on journalists in Turkey is not new. Kurdish media outlets have long been subjected to censorship and closures. Safiye Alagas, a Kurdish journalist, said government pressure had damaged professional relationships. "In 2010 and 2011, journalists still stood side by side," she said. "Now there is a serious polarization. ... This makes me very sad, as I would like more solidarity."

Erdogan appeared less sad in his statement for Working Journalists' Day. "Our country has gone through periods during which our democracy was interrupted and obstacles were placed on the way of development," he said. "It has taken a long time for our press and our society to get rid of the negative effects of this process," he added. "I believe that our media will fulfill the duty of informing people accurately and impartially," he said.

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Indonesia and the United Arab Emirates affirmed deeper economic ties during a visit by Indonesian President Joko Widodo in which he sought billions of dollars to finance his country's infrastructure and energy projects.

After meeting Sunday at Abu Dhabi's Qasr Al Watan palace, Widodo and Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan witnessed the exchange of 16 agreements and memoranda of understanding, the two governments said in statements Monday.

They said the two sides reached 11 business-to-business agreements and MOUs on energy and infrastructure. Indonesia valued the investment for those projects at $22.9 billion, though it was not immediately clear how much the UAE would directly invest.

The two governments reached five other agreements on religion, health, education, agriculture and counterterrorism.

Indonesia's presidential office cited Sheikh Mohammed as saying after witnessing the exchange of the agreements that relations between the two nations could be further strengthened.

"We can start a new era of closer ties between the two nations," Sheikh Mohammed said, according to the statement.

Indonesia, Southeast Asia's largest economy, wants business deals with the UAE in oil refining, gas, petrochemicals, ports, electricity and telecommunications.

"The UAE will remain an important partner in Indonesia's economic cooperation, especially in the investment sector," Widodo said. He welcomed talks by the two countries on founding an Indonesia Sovereign Wealth Fund.

Widodo's efforts to reduce poverty and improve Indonesia's inadequate infrastructure have been his signature policy and helped him win a second term in elections last April. The plans would require more than $400 billion to modernize the archipelago nation, home of more than 260 million people.

He pledged to push ahead with sweeping and potentially unpopular economic reforms, including more business-friendly labor laws, in his final term.

57.13%選民力挺蔡總統連任，民進黨第二次完全執政，保證兩岸不會統一，但同時也確定不能修憲台獨。（湯森路透）

蔡總統有個值得學習的好性格，遇到有關政權之特別示警與提醒，她會嚴正面對、謹慎處理。從假想敵朱立倫，再有柯文哲的挑釁輕視，初選遇到突襲意外，最後第二次面對韓流挑戰，一路走來的選戰策略，彈性調整明顯。有失敗例如2018年九合一大選，也有成功如黨內整合，以及總統大選的創紀錄勝選。

這場選舉，能夠真正歡樂的是英粉與蔡總統的支持者，至於創下史上最高得票的蔡總統本人，首先要提醒自己，2008年馬前總統以765.9萬票大贏，泛藍陣營取得四分之三的修憲門檻，2020年蔡英文創下新高得票817萬票，扣除國民黨立委席次，合計席次只有將近三分之二而已。這樣的投票結果，顯示蔡總統獲得「政權民授」的高度肯定，但是正名制憲甚至務實台獨，已經被選民否決，民進黨沒有一黨修憲的能量，只要國民黨抗爭，修憲案出不了立法院，也不能進行公民複決的公投。57.13%選民力挺蔡總統連任，民進黨第二次完全執政，保證兩岸不會統一，同時也確定不能修憲台獨。這是巧合，還是台灣人民發揮智慧？

政黨票與總統票的合計比較之後，可知政黨票只投出14,160,138票，相比總統票合計14,300,940票，短少14萬802票。蔡總統的得票數很驚人，分給民進黨政黨票之後，再分配給時代力量等泛綠政黨，尚有107.7萬票至121.7萬票的剩餘(假設14萬802票全部來自蔡或韓加宋的票源)。以此推估台灣民眾黨的政黨票1,588,806票之中，大約67.79%至76.65%來自蔡總統的票源。直白說，民眾黨的政黨票支持者，至少有67.79%支持蔡總統。韓市長的總統票約有79.8萬票分裂投票，占比約14.46%；蔡總統的總統票約有335.8萬票分裂投票，占比約為41.11%。民進黨遠遠小於蔡總統，這場勝選恐怕不能歸功於黨中央，黨政合一的第一步，就是卓主席自請辭職，讓蔡總統再次兼任黨魁。

立委席次未達一黨修憲門檻

今年大選，驗證第一個選舉結果，就是「反統」與「防獨」，意即蔡政府可以第二次完全執政，但是立委席次不能達到一黨修憲門檻。第二個選舉結果，就是再次證明綠營的分裂投票比藍營明顯，親綠小黨的側翼發展有利於綠營大選的勝選結果。第三個選舉結果，由高雄市與台南市的蔡韓得票數與差距來看，綠營基本盤再次鞏固與集結，2022年的地方選舉，國民黨已有執政警示。藍營15隻小母雞撐不起韓市長這隻大母雞，蔡總統是超級吸票機，但仍然挺不住民進黨的政黨票，「母雞效應」如何重新定義與利用，值得選戰操盤手深思。

馬前總統曾以「不統、不獨、不武」緩衝「九二共識」的「兩岸一中」，韓市長只講「九二共識，一中各表」，顯然不能緩解「一國兩制」的疑慮。2020年強打反對一國兩制，未來會升級成反對兩岸一中，國民黨若不能把國家認同與兩岸關係結合論述成政策，繼續標榜「九二共識」或「一中各表」，恐怕無法喚回年輕世代的認同。

北京當局正確理解台灣這次總統與立委大選的結果與意義，無須緊張台灣走向獨立，也可放緩和統或武統的步驟。強烈反對一國兩制，等同反對兩岸統一，無論和平或武力取得統一。其次，台灣人民沒有授權民進黨正名制憲，立委席次不能達到四分之三，只要國民黨杯葛，民進黨勢必無法於第二次完全執政務實台獨。第三，北京當局應該重新思考「九二共識」的黑標籤已經深入人心，國共兩黨應該檢討「一中各表」的「兩岸一中」框架，是否務實修正與調整。主權牌的極致就是軍事戰爭，除非中國設計或挑釁，主動式誘導台海戰爭發生，否則習近平應與黨內逼宮勢力攤牌，當台灣人民清楚表達反對統一的時候，也同時表達防備台獨，「反統防獨」的集體心理與團體思考，很顯然不能透過「九二共識」與「一國兩制」破解。

兩岸關係會繼續凍結

與其說蔡總統應該反省，不如說蔡總統應該積極備戰。首先，兩岸關係會繼續凍結，不可能獲得善意回應，正視台灣主權的政治宣示，習近平顯然做不到也不敢做；第二，美中貿易戰獲得緩解時，台商回流投資的紙上富貴或實現利益，即將清楚揭曉，未來四年如何拚經濟，絕對不能單一押注於台商回流投資；第三，要防備中國以經貿限縮或關稅、非關稅等障礙減少兩岸貿易逆差，北京當局不會明講「經貿制裁」或「經貿封鎖」，但為打擊民進黨第二次完全執政，把資通訊產業鏈與供應鏈整個移植到中國建立與發展，已經勢在必行；第四，蔡政府應該做好最糟糕的狀況應對，也就是南海、朝鮮半島或台海兩岸，一旦發生軍事衝突或戰爭，中國有意牽扯台灣涉入時，國安應對策略如何推演與執行。

這次大選很詭異，詭異者在於韓粉堅信韓市長能贏得勝選，詭異也在於民調持續領先者，不斷打出恐懼與仇恨，不同於過往的悲情催票，這次是集體恐懼失去民主自由而不正常積極投票。愛與包容的相反就是恨與對立，選戰可以是雙帥對決，但是台灣的未來，絕對不只有雙帥而已。

民進黨立委席次減少，除了側翼小黨分食，主因還是工具性太強，綠營立委獨立行使職權的立法品質，恐怕尚需加強。當蔡總統得票數高達817萬的時候，韓蔡差距僅有264.8萬票，不僅沒有擴大成300萬票以上，還有緊縮抑制，可見韓粉力挺，對於防範國民黨崩解，仍有實體上不可或缺的關鍵力量。國民黨需要新領導者，更需要結合兩岸關係與國家認同的新政策論述。年輕世代的「厭藍症」，不僅來自於國民黨欠缺鮮活的年輕政治人物，更來自於台灣與中國認同的分野區隔。

這一次大選經驗，充滿驚奇與震撼！台灣人的民主自由，值得中國人嚮往與追求。

韓國瑜的「蓋牌」策略不真實地將韓的一部分支持率轉給蔡英文，造成了「蔡贏韓%」高達近30趴的虛假結果。不是別人，正是「蓋牌」策略造成了「假民調」。（湯森路透）

國民黨候選人韓國瑜於2019年11月28日呼籲支持者在接到民調電話時要拒絕回答。次日他改呼籲支持者在接到民調時要回答「唯一支持蔡英文」。此項策略被媒體稱為「民調蓋牌」。

關於這樣做的原因，韓國瑜表示，太多有心人與有心的機構一直用假民調來迷惑人心，打擊韓國瑜支持者的信心，更有粉絲怕被查水表與政治報復，因此不敢表態。他聲稱，2020年總統大選的民調已經無法測知真實民意，更成為所有民主國家的笑話，

韓國瑜這樣說的時候，沒有給出任何證據。到現在也沒有。始終都只是他的主觀論斷。當時台灣有近20個機構在做大選民調。韓國瑜對「太多有心人與有心的機構」提出指控，沒有豁免任何一家。這等於是「一竿子打翻一船人」，對全部民調機構提出「假民調」指控。他手上連一份證據也沒有，就公然全盤性地否定全國的民調結果。不得不說這種態度非常主觀武斷，稱得上粗暴。

至於他「蓋牌」的目的，韓國瑜說：「讓所有假民調單位一口氣測不出真實答案，所有支持者在1月11日投下神聖一票，讓大家知道什麼才是真正的民調。」

好。現在大選結束了。就讓我們用投票結果來檢驗韓國瑜所指控的「假民調」，看看這些民調到底有沒有「假」。

韓國瑜的「蓋牌」策略于2019年11月29日開始實施。不會影響到此前已經公佈的民調結果。因此我們可以用這些未受「蓋牌」影響的11月的民調來與大選投票結果進行對比分析。此時離最後投票只有一個多月，選情正進入最後的固化階段。如果沒有意外事件發生，選情大格局不會發生劇變。

正常情況下各家各次民調結果會有差異。我們可以計算整個月的民調結果的平均值來消除差異。再用這個平均值來和大選投票結果進行對比。對比的結果越接近，民調就越稱得上是「真正的民調」，「假民調」的指控就越站不住脚。

我們可以看到，11月民調平均值很好地吻合了最終投票結果。其中蔡韓支持率之比（45.04%比27.21%）和最終投票結果兩人得票率之比（57.13%比38.61%），都接近6比4。這點證明民調數字相當靠譜。據此算出的「蔡贏韓%」指標，從11月民調平均值的17.83%變成大選投票結果的18.52%，兩者僅差0.69個百分點。如此地接近，簡直可以說大選結果就是11月民調平均值的複製。如果精準到這麽小的範圍還不能算「真正的民調」，那要怎樣才能算？

蔡韓兩人最後得票率都比11月民調平均值高。這很正常。因爲民調時尚有近20趴的民衆未表態。他們到了大選投票時都表態了。蔡韓的支持率當然也因此獲得相應提升。近20趴「未表態」的人裏，約12趴投了蔡英文，8趴給了韓國瑜。剛好也是6比4！

韓國瑜最終得票率增加更多一些，這得益於棄保效應。有將近一半的宋楚瑜支持者在投票中改投給韓國瑜。韓的得票率因此多得近4趴。這樣韓國瑜最終的得票率比11月民調平均值增加了11趴多。

以上兩種情況是選舉過程中的正常現象。沒有人會因爲出現這兩種情況而指控民調不準確或是「假民調」。

因此我們完全可以說，未受「民調蓋牌」干擾的11月民調結果，就是「真正的民調」。韓國瑜所説的「太多有心人與有心的機構一直用假民調來迷惑人心」根本站不住脚，純屬無端指控。韓國瑜欠台灣民調機構一個道歉。

而韓國瑜號召韓粉以「唯一支持蔡英文」的不實回答來干擾民調的策略的確產生了效果。用同樣方法計算「蓋牌」后的民調平均值如下：

可以看出，韓國瑜的「蓋牌」策略不真實地將韓的一部分支持率轉給蔡英文，造成了「蔡贏韓%」高達近30趴的虛假結果。不是別人，正是「蓋牌」策略造成了「假民調」。

人為扭曲干擾民調，才真正是「民主國家的笑話」。從來沒有聽説哪個民主國家的候選人公然號召支持者講假話干擾民調。韓國瑜是首例。他開創了一個惡劣且危險的先例。

民調是民主制度不可缺少的一部分。它是一項社會公器。民調幫助人民、團體和政府瞭解民意，從而制定或調整自己的政策。民主國家如果不能正常地瞭解民意，民主政治就失去了基礎。

用虛假回答干擾民調，首先剝奪了大衆的知情權。民主國家裏人民要參與國家事務，不能沒有適當的知情權。大選關係全體國民的利益，人民有權在第一時間瞭解選情動態和趨勢。而韓國瑜的「蓋牌」策略，讓大衆無法及時瞭解選情動態和趨勢。侵犯了台灣人民的知情權。

民主國家的治理，高度依賴民意調查。干擾民意調查，就是干擾民主政治。民調如同某種氣象預報。而氣象預報要依靠成千上萬的地面、海洋、空中和太空的觀測點提供觀測數據。假如有三分之一的觀測點突然不正常工作，而是「唯一報告要下雨」，那會造成什麽樣的混亂和損失？同樣地，製造虛假民調也會給全社會造成混亂和損失。比如說，當一個政府做得不好的時候，民調卻因爲很多受訪民衆被操控而聲稱「唯一支持現政府」，從而形成政府的高擁護率，那會怎樣？肯定會推動政府繼續朝錯誤方向執政。

通過「民調蓋牌」策略，韓國瑜展示出一種令人不安的政治特質：他對民意缺乏謙卑之心，反而有扭曲民調的意圖。當民調結果對自己不利時，他不去認真檢討自己的缺失以求改進，卻號召支持者講騙話干擾民調，通過製造假象來解脫困境。衆所周知，這是共產黨獨裁政權的統治手段。用在民主國家裏必然會傷害國家的政治運作。

如果他當選總統，會不會因爲某項社會公器對自己不利而出手打壓或操控？別説是擁有總統大權，就是在市長的位置上，為一己之私而操控社會公器的行爲也是不可容忍的。

雖然韓國瑜這次「民調蓋牌」沒有在台灣社會造成很嚴重後果。但台灣各界不可忽視其長遠後果。「民調蓋牌」百害而無一利，如果任其存在並發展，將來一定會給社會造成嚴重後果。因此此風不可長，台灣應該及時采取措施堵住這個民主政治的漏洞。最好的方法當然是修訂現有法規，明文禁止任何政黨團體教唆民衆向民調機構提供違背自己真實想法的答案。

國際上對台灣本次選舉的重視和正面解讀，給予勝選之後的蔡英文政府，有了進一步在涉外事務趁勝追擊的機會。（攝影：張哲偉）

在國際社會高度關注下，台灣總統蔡英文以817萬票的壓倒性優勢，打敗國民黨總統候選人韓國瑜。執政的民主進步黨也繼續維持在台灣國會的單獨過半。這場充滿外部因素與負面選舉的台灣大選結果，過程儘管讓台灣選民情緒高漲，但其結果對台灣國際形象的提升，卻是到達前所未有的歷史性高度。

多數國際傳媒報導的標題與重點不外乎指向幾個方向：台灣選民用民主選票向中國「說不」、台灣人民拒絕「一國兩制」、習近平是蔡英文連任的最大助攻者、台灣成為香港與全球華人社會的民主模範等。曾幾何時，台灣在國際社會的能見度能夠達到如此空前的正面且受到重視？這也給予勝選之後的蔡英文政府，進一步在國際社會趁勝追擊的機會。

勝選後的第一個行程，蔡英文選擇分別接見美國在台協會台北辦事處處長酈英傑以及日本交流協會會長大橋光夫。此外，美國國務卿龎培歐以及主要國家的外長也都在蔡英文發表勝選演說後，立即表達恭賀訊息。蔡英文在接見酈英傑的場合表示，台灣和美國在安全、經濟及共享價值等領域不斷深化合作，彼此已從雙邊夥伴關係升級成「全球合作夥伴」，台灣是國際社會不可或缺的夥伴，也會是區域民主發展的關鍵行動者，可以和美國一起為世界帶來更多貢獻。在接見大橋光夫的時候，她也強調台灣會與理念相近國家積極合作，繼續深化民主。

此一外交操作，無論在時機點還是訊息精確性上，都為台灣的國際地位加分。以美日為首的主要國家也樂於在選後的第一時間，用具體行動展現對台灣民主以及蔡英文的力挺和支持。台灣選舉結果，讓北京跳腳、讓中國媒體抓狂，讓北京國台辦的回應只能重彈舊調。但最重要的訊息卻是，蔡英文的高票連任，讓國際放心，也為台海情勢注入一股穩健的力量。

台灣選舉結果傳達了另一項重大的國際效應。展望2020年，國際情勢充滿諸多不確定性。美中權力角力持續進行，幾天後，美中將於華府簽署所謂「第一階段貿議協議」。這是華府與北京交手一年多之後，各自給對方的下台階，內容並未碰觸敏感的中國經濟結構性改革，川普最大的讓步就是暫停新的關稅，降低部分已在進行的關稅。習近平最大的讓步，就是承諾向美國購買更多農產品。雙方各取所需，各自對內交待，也各自滿足內部政治目的。

面臨內部彈劾壓力，川普急需在外交上有所政績，以轉移在野黨的攻擊。與北京達成一份象徵性協議，足以讓川普對內宣稱勝利。對習近平而言，以拖待變、將戰線拉長，本來就是他的上上策。但美中角力與競逐不會停歇，而且很可能延伸到其他外交範疇。

美國與伊朗關係陷入緊張，但迄今雙方都尚未正式上綱到準戰爭狀態。北韓領導人金正恩去去年年底就蠢蠢欲動，動轍用短程彈道試射和新年傳達的訊息，威脅要送川普聖誕節禮物。很明顯地，伊朗和朝鮮半島可能會是今年川普面臨的最大外交挑戰，背後更有俄羅斯和中國的虎視眈眈。華府很清楚，若是選前陷入另一場中東或朝鮮半島戰爭泥淖，絕對不利川普選情。

其他混沌不清的國際變數還有英國「脫歐」後的變化、香港情勢的持續擴大成為「反中」路線、中俄可能透過網路作戰介入美國與其他國家選舉的威脅，習近平春天訪問日本，以及南海等軍事衝突點。

就在2020年開年的第11天，台灣完成一場和平的民主選舉。它背後對混亂國際情勢帶來的正面意涵包括：一是奠定台灣站穩民主社群的基石、成功阻擋中國的滲透與入侵，也成為香港爭取自由民眾的希望；二是蔡英文連任後，標誌在各種政策上的延續性與一致性，正如同她在勝選演說中向國際與中國傳達的堅定訊息，這點令以美國為首的國際社會感到安心，更可以讓華府擁有堅實的支持後盾；三是民進黨政府繼續執政，預期將強化台灣國防自主能力，有效嚇阻中國的軍事威脅，更有深化台灣與美國和其他志同道合國家在亞太區域的安全對話與合作。

最重要的意涵，是台灣也藉此開啟另一扇與世界交往的機會之窗。從蔡英文傳達給酈英傑的訊息再清晰不過，那就是台灣不僅會進一步強化台美關係，更希望透過台美雙邊夥伴關係升級，讓台灣成為「全球合作夥伴」。

過去三年來，台美之間在所謂「全球合作訓練架構」的平台上，已在諸多跨國性議題進行合作與交流。在華府的協助下，包括日本、澳洲、瑞典等國家也加入，未來預期還有更多志同道合的夥伴參與。這是台灣在爭取參加重要國際正式組織，卻屢屢被北京封鎖之餘，另行開啟與國際交往與合作的管道。

在中國的崛起為世界帶來更多威脅與警戒之際，台灣的民主深化、蔡政府的穩定領導和政策一致性，都讓台灣逐漸成為主要國家跨黨派支持的議題，美國和日本尤其如此。過去三年來，美國國會與政府通過若干友台法案與決議文，都給予美台關係的提升重大動能。如果川普也能於年底連任成功，台美關係可望更進一步獲得深化。連任後的蔡英文政府應該把握此一外交良機，進行強而有力的國際形象塑造與文宣，同時運用主要國家對台灣重視的提高，增進實質關係長久性基礎。整國政府的對外戰略，需要更明確的執行綱領與跨部會合作，甚至結合民間力量，積極推動全民外交。

臺灣大選塵埃落定，前所未有的高參選率，小英以大勝率順利連任。很高興，我是支持小英的，至少第一任期沒犯什麼錯誤，並堅持了最重要的原則——「民主自由」。對大陸來說，這一點太重要、太關鍵、太缺失、太……

中南海一定很沮喪

眾所周知，大陸至今尚被中共強行「三個代表」，國家政治生活最缺的就是「民主自由」。這次臺灣大選，讓大陸民眾再次清晰看到臺灣民意、看到香港抗命運動對臺灣大選的影響（「神助選」）、看到臺民對「一國兩制」的明確抵制，實在太好太及時太必要太……

當然，民主自由勝利了，中共一定不高興，中南海一定很難受。去年7月底，北京出重拳助選——中斷對臺旅遊自由行，敲打臺灣經濟以助國民黨，包括一如既往送親藍臺民回島參選。因此，國民黨如此慘敗：中南海肯定再次失望。大陸媒體一仍舊腔「低調處理」，照例「三不」——不報道、不評論、不提及，裝著沒看見。這種時刻，「阿里山的姑娘」、「日月潭的碧波」與大陸似乎很遙遠，「臺灣同胞」與祖國大陸並非「血肉相連」，臺灣大選成了「別人家裡的事」。中共的「選擇性政治」，一覽無餘。

還真如毛澤東的「兩個凡是」——凡是敵人反對的，我們就要擁護；凡是敵人擁護的，我們就要反對。在民主自由這盤政治大棋上，中國人民擁護的，中共一定反對，中國人民反對的，中共一定擁護。否則，「六四」何必開槍？律師何必打壓？，網絡風火墻何必打造？我們何必流亡？

「陸民」羨慕「臺民」

很可惜，吾華只有2300萬臺灣人民享有「免卻恐怖的自由」——可自由表達各種政見，可實際操練民主。14億「陸民」不僅沒有任何政治參與權，至今還生活在政治恐怖之中——被喝令「不準妄議中央」，民權尚為0，言論都無法自由。所謂「神聖的一票」，僅限「兩會」——居委會、小區物業管委會。

臺灣大選一次次進行，一次次向大陸清晰示範。（湯森路透）

臺灣大選一次次進行，一次次向大陸清晰示範——中國人民也有能力擁享民主自由，這對中共可是相當要命哩！中共至今還在恐嚇國人：

沒有共產黨，天下要大亂！

中國人素質低，國情特殊，不能搞民主！……

用中共的話來說，臺灣乃「萬惡的資本主義」，臺灣人民的政治覺悟遠在大陸之下。可人家「神聖的一票」選的卻是總統、議員呵！兩岸差距硬就這麼大！不消說，絕大多數「陸民」從心裡羨慕「臺民」，只是他們不敢說，也無處發聲。

三十年來，近40萬大陸新娘嫁臺，偏偏不見「資本主義深淵」的臺灣姑娘嫁往大陸？女人的腳，最有證明力的投票。女人湧到哪兒，自然哪兒有吸引力、有值得追慕之處。東風西風，女人的流向才是風向。

江澤民高參之論

2010年8月8日，筆者親聆江澤民高參劉吉（1935～ ）「教誨」：

在中國搞民主，還是半夜雞叫。裴教授，你想想，真搞起民主選舉來，那些工人農民與你們教授可都是一人一票，他們的文化水準、見解學識……選出來的結果會理性會正確嗎？

此言一出，我就知道中南海與民主自由還相當遙遠。劉吉乃江澤民從上海帶到北京的「智囊」，中國社會科學院副院長，參與「三個代表」起草。短短幾句話，觀點很清楚：工人農民文化水準太低，只能由中共正確「代表」：國情特殊，至少現階段中國不宜搞民主；半夜雞叫呵！這位當代「紫禁城行走」可能忘了：「相信人民相信黨」，中共可是一直如此這般教導信徒教導民眾，工農聯盟乃中共標榜的政治基礎，怎麼節骨眼上如此看不起人民群眾？怎麼這麼不相信工人農民的能力？敢情那些口號都是奪政前的作秀、奪政後的忽悠？

參與才是最好的培訓，參與選舉才會關心國務，才會學習選擇、辨識政角。就算頭幾次「不成熟」，嗆幾口水，後面自然就掌握了。下水才能學會游泳、上車才能學會開車，不給最初的臺階，「陸民」豈非一直沒有實習的機會？不讓14億國人參政議政，將他們遠遠驅離政治，說明什麼？蘊藏什麼？還不清楚嗎——中共會是大陸人民利益的代表嗎？！「代表」能夠七十年不經授權？「執政合法性」可以自我宣佈、代代傳享？對大陸來說，民主尚未啟步，同志遠須努力！

寄語小英

臺灣搞得越好、政治越清明、法治越精細、官吏越清廉、民眾越富庶，對大陸的影響就越大，「民主自由」的優越性就越彰顯。用中共的話來說：榜樣的力量是無窮的。

小英總統的第一任期幹得甚好，因此「得道多助」，順利連任。雖然寄望甚厚寄語甚多，作為大陸流亡知識分子，最濃縮的仍只有四字——民主自由。希望小英不僅幹好臺灣的事，還希望在可能的情況下，盡量拉大陸窮兄弟一把。有什麼辦法，臺灣無論「統」「獨」（我尊重臺灣人民的選擇），都是大陸同文同種的富親戚，我們很需要呵！

當然，大陸這條船太大、中共又如此「不松勁」，臺灣不太拉得動，我很理解小英處理大陸關系的難處，也相信她在第二任期更富經驗、更諳分寸。民眾要實習政治，總統也要需要實習呵，她會幹得更好的！

（中央社記者洪健倫台北13日電）第92屆奧斯卡金像獎在台灣今晚公布入圍名單，除「小丑」、「愛爾蘭人」、「從前，有個好萊塢」等強片順利入圍，網飛進軍影壇成績再創新高，但入圍名單的多元性仍不如期待。

今年的奧斯卡入圍名單大致如外界預期，之前呼聲最高的話題強片「小丑」、「愛爾蘭人」與「從前，有個好萊塢」，還有金球獎大贏家「1917」都是今年入圍贏家前4強。

但除此之外，今年的入圍名單有3個趨勢值得留意。一是OTT平台網飛（NETFLIX）進軍影壇成績再創新猷。在本屆入圍名單中，網飛共有4部原創電影入圍，入圍獎項高達20項，刷新去年共2部入圍15項的成績，再創新高。

網飛入圍的原創電影，分別是導演大師馬丁史柯西斯強勢入圍10項的「愛爾蘭人」，小品好手導演諾亞包姆巴赫入圍6項的「婚姻故事」，改編真實教宗故事入圍3項的「教宗的繼承」，以及入圍最佳紀錄片的「美國工廠」。

其中，「愛爾蘭人」與「婚姻故事」更雙雙入圍最佳影片，讓網飛不但繼去年的「羅馬」後，接連2年都有影片角逐最佳影片，入圍該大獎的片數還翻倍，相當風光。

第2則是南韓導演奉俊昊的電影「寄生上流」，在今年成為繼2000年李安電影「臥虎藏龍」及去年墨西哥導演艾方索柯朗的「羅馬」之後，第3部入圍入圍最佳影片、最佳導演等大獎的外語片。

第3，奧斯卡今年雖繼續給予外語片角逐最佳影片的機會，但入圍名單族群多元性卻不如外界期待。入圍名單中，女性創作者的作品僅有才女導演葛莉塔潔薇入圍6項的新作「她們」，及改編女性黑奴史實、入圍影后與原創歌曲的電影「海芮」做為代表。此外，「海芮」也是本屆奧斯卡入圍名單中，唯一入圍的黑人電影。

在金球獎音樂或喜劇類中入圍的黑人傳記電影「我叫多麥特」或訴諸黑人冤獄議題卻缺乏亮點的「不完美的正義」，都沒有受到影藝學院成員青睞。此外，賽前外界看好的華裔美國女性電影「別告訴她」，也在入圍競爭中全盤失利。

儘管如此，本屆奧斯卡光是最佳影片、導演等大獎依然很有看頭。究竟最後誰將打敗電影大師馬丁史柯西斯；同時，反映2019年全球社會氛圍的「小丑」、緬懷影壇黃金年代的「從前，有個好萊塢」，最終各將抱走哪些大獎，都將在台灣時間2月10日上午7時30分揭曉。（編輯：林治平）1090114

（中央社布拉格13日綜合外電報導）捷克首都布拉格與台北市今天簽署協議，締結為姊妹市。布拉格3個月前才取消與北京的姊妹市關係，此舉顯然打臉中國。

布拉格市長賀瑞普（Zdenek Hrib）與台北市長柯文哲簽署協議後表示，這項姊妹市關係對雙方都「最為有利」，因為雙方「擁有共同民主價值，而且尊重基本人權和文化自由」。

柯文哲則告訴法新社：「布拉格可以自己選擇與世界各個城市結為姊妹市，我想北京也應該讓布拉格有選擇的權利。」

儘管捷克總統齊曼（Milos Zeman）呼籲強化中國與捷克間的關係，賀瑞普的做法再度引發布拉格與北京之間的爭議，此事已影響兩國關係。

海盜黨（Pirate Party）籍的賀瑞普昨天在德國週日世界報發表評論批評，中國「滿腔憤恨」，並試圖左右捷克的輿論。

現年38歲的賀瑞普自2018年11月擔任布拉格市長至今，他在這篇文章中說明他領導的市府去年10月取消與北京姊妹市協議的決定。

兩市締結為姊妹市的協議是在2016年敲定，不過賀瑞普領導的市府不接受協議中受爭議的「一個中國」政策條款，最後解除姊妹市關係。

法新社報導，賀瑞普在文章中指出，他不能簽署一份迫使布拉格「宣告反對台灣與西藏獨立」的協議。

賀瑞普說，他並未提倡與中國斷交或切斷與中國的經濟關係，但他呼籲歐洲民主國家該認真思考，是否應與「這樣一個危險且不可靠的夥伴」建立密切關係。（譯者：林治平）1090113

（中央社記者陳妍君馬尼拉13日專電）中華民國總統大選11日結束，不少返鄉投票的旅菲台灣民眾原本預定這兩天回菲，卻遇到菲律賓塔爾火山噴發，馬尼拉機場一度關閉，航班大亂，無法順利回菲既焦急又心慌。

塔爾火山位於馬尼拉以南約65公里，昨天下午噴發後，持續噴發約2公里高的蒸汽和火山灰，目前警戒層級維持第4級，代表「數小時到數天內可能發生危險的爆發」。

火山灰飄散到馬尼拉都會區，馬尼拉國際機場一度關閉，目前視火山活動情形調整班機起降，塔爾火山北方約140公里的克拉克國際機場班機也受影響。

另一方面，今年中華民國總統大選備受關注，不少旅菲民眾返鄉投票，菲律賓台灣同鄉會會長蘇國芳和19日即將接任菲律賓台商總會總會長的黃雅惠也為了投票特地返台。

黃雅惠告訴中央社記者，今年台商返鄉投票明顯比往年踴躍，「我兩、三個朋友都從來沒回去投票，今年都回去了」，也聽說航空公司一票難求，「我很早就訂票了，我是專程回去投票的」。

黃雅惠正巧在塔爾火山噴發前搭機回馬尼拉，蘇國芳則原本預定今天上午返菲，卻遇到火山噴發班機停飛，目前候補到17日機位，無奈只好再等4天才能返菲。

返鄉投票的不只台商，來自台灣的菲律賓中正學院中學部主任蔡惠名11日凌晨才回到台灣，原本預定搭乘今天上午的班機返菲，昨天下午火山開始噴發，讓她因此無法成行。

她表示，之前赴馬尼拉航班資訊混亂，機場櫃台和航空公司的服務電話一度打不進去，讓她覺得無所適從、求助無門；雖然因為火山灰飄散到馬尼拉，今明兩天學校都停課，但很多學校事務需要處理，希望能夠盡快回菲律賓。

蔡惠名說，就她所知，好幾位在菲律賓華文學校任教的台灣老師或校長都還留在台灣，還有菲華文經總會評議委員莊杰森等多位華僑也一度被困在機場，希望火山活動平息下來，赴菲班機盡快恢復平常。

菲律賓家扶中心代表張凱莉原本也預定今天返菲，因為班機受影響，目前改到15日的機位。她表示，很擔心工作延誤，但既然無法立即回菲律賓，因為火山灰在馬尼拉飄散，這兩天她為菲律賓合作單位買了6盒N95口罩，希望能派上用場。（編輯：林治平）1090113

（中央社曼谷13日綜合外電報導）世界衛生組織今天證實中國的武漢肺炎疫情在泰國出現首起海外病例，世衛可能很快就會召開緊急會議。目前泰國也在機場強化檢疫工作，以因應農曆新年可能入境的數十萬中國旅客。

路透社報導，泰國衛生部今天表示，自1月3日起已有12名旅客遭到隔離，而實驗室檢驗結果顯示，一名61歲中國婦女身上帶有造成武漢肺炎疫情的2019新型冠狀病毒。

泰國衛生部也說，8日遭隔離的這名婦女已接受治療，並康復到足以返家的程度。

泰國副總理兼公共衛生部長阿努廷（Anutin Charnvirakul）告訴記者：「能夠查出病患，顯示我們的監測體系有效率。我們有信心能夠控制局面。」

目前中國與泰國官員正在和世界衛生組織（WHO）密切合作。

中國武漢市自爆發肺炎疫情以來，已有1名61歲男子死亡，中國境內累計通報病例共41例。武漢市衛生健康委員會今天則表示，這41例中治癒出院者已有7例、重症有6例。

法新社報導，世界衛生組織今天除了證實泰國出現首起武漢肺炎病例，也表示泰國衛生官員已通知世衛這名病患正在康復。

世衛組織也強調，病毒擴散至中國境外並不令人意外。

根據世衛聲明：「其他國家可能驗出病例並非意料之外，也強化世衛組織要求他國持續積極監測和準備的根據。」

聲明並提到：「基於目前情勢發展，世界衛生組織秘書長譚德塞（Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus）將與緊急事務委員會成員商議，可能會在短時間內召開委員會會議。」（譯者：楊昭彥/核稿：林治平）1090113
