title: Challenges of absentee voting in Taiwan

content_text:
Taiwan is small and mountainous, encompassing a limited land area. Regional development is quite uneven and people tend to move to urban areas for work or study. This results in discrepancies between their registered household address and their actual place of residence. Thus, during elections, people often need to spend time or money to return home to vote. This — while great for democracy — often leads to much public discontent.

The Executive Yuan in February 2016 proposed a draft amendment to the Presidential and Vice Presidential Election and Recall Act (總統副總統選舉罷免法) that aimed to expand the implementation of the absentee voting system to broaden political participation and deepen democracy. The proposal was short-lived — it was withdrawn, and no new version of the bill has been introduced. In its place, the Executive Yuan proposed a bill that would allow for absentee voting in national referendums. The bill was not very controversial, largely because Taiwanese are not particularly enthusiastic about voting in referendums.

Due to the political composition of the legislature, an absentee and mail-in voting system is very likely to be reviewed and passed this year. Furthermore, the scope of its application could extend not only to the 2028 presidential and legislative elections, but could also be implemented earlier, possibly in time for the local “nine-in-one” elections to be held at the end of next year.

From a global perspective, Taiwan is highly regarded and admired by the international community for its adherence to traditional in-person voting, rapid and continuous vote counting, and its ability to announce election results the same night. The core of any election is public trust. During the period of authoritarian rule from 1949 to 1987, Taiwan learned painful lessons from multiple incidents of severe election fraud. A traditional and highly transparent electoral process was developed as a result. Possessing a credible electoral system is the lifeline of Taiwan’s democratic system. If lost, democracy would be doomed to collapse.

An absentee voting system might appear simple and convenient, but in practice, its implementation requires detailed and complex considerations. The local elections serve as a good example.

If a citizen with household registration in Kaohsiung wants to vote at the polling station near their current residence in Taipei, how should that polling station handle the process? How should the ballot boxes be arranged? How should the ballots be counted? How should the vote be transmitted back to the voter’s registered constituency?

There are a number of complicated and puzzling issues, each giving rise to further questions. Moreover, if the process were to ultimately lengthen the voting and ballot counting period, thereby breaking Taiwan’s longstanding custom of finishing the count on the same night and causing results to be delayed by several days, would voters be able to accept that? Additionally, if the final outcome of an election were to hinge on ballots transferred from other districts rather than those cast locally, would the losing candidate be willing to accept their defeat?

Trustworthy electoral systems are difficult to build and can be destroyed in the blink of an eye. As the absentee and mail-in voting system approaches implementation — and the Constitutional Court remains effectively paralyzed — crucial questions must be considered. How should the Executive Yuan respond to the challenges this new law would pose? How would citizens express their opinions? Together, this could constitute a test of the nation’s democracy.

Brahma Chellaney On Taiwan: Taiwan in the age of Trump: Navigating the perils of US unpredictability

Donald Trump’s return to the White House has offered Taiwan a paradoxical mix of reassurance and risk. Trump’s visceral hostility toward China could reinforce deterrence in the Taiwan Strait. Yet his disdain for alliances and penchant for transactional bargaining threaten to erode what Taiwan needs most: a reliable US commitment.Taiwan’s security depends less on US power than on US reliability, but Trump is undermining the latter. Deterrence without credibility is a hollow shield.Trump’s China policy in his second term has oscillated wildly between confrontation and conciliation. One day, he threatens Beijing with “massive” tariffs and calls China America’s “greatest geopolitical

Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Chairwoman Cheng Li-wun (鄭麗文) made the astonishing assertion during an interview with Germany’s Deutsche Welle, published on Friday last week, that Russian President Vladimir Putin is not a dictator. She also essentially absolved Putin of blame for initiating the war in Ukraine. Commentators have since listed the reasons that Cheng’s assertion was not only absurd, but bordered on dangerous. Her claim is certainly absurd to the extent that there is no need to discuss the substance of it: It would be far more useful to assess what drove her to make the point and stick so


title: Trump’s pivot from Asia

content_text:
The US is becoming increasingly unpredictable and unreliable for its own allies

US President Donald Trump spent much of the last week of last month in Asia. He managed to bring about ceasefires on several fronts of a trade war largely of his own making, after imposing tariffs on friends and foes alike. What he did not do was create enduring structures in the economic sphere or put to rest increasing doubts about the US’ strategic commitment to the region.

To be sure, there were some valuable accomplishments. Trump’s meetings in Japan, arguably the most important US ally nowadays by virtue of its economic and military heft, and its critical role in balancing a stronger and more assertive China, went as well or better than anyone could have hoped. A hallmark of the Trump administration’s foreign policy is to be tough on friends and allies, but Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi got off to an excellent start.

It helped that Takaichi was closely associated with former Japanese prime minister Abe Shinzo, the foreign leader who built the closest relationship with Trump during his first term as president. It also helped that Japan is spending more on defense and is offering to substantially increase its investment in the US.

The US and South Korea also managed to put their economic relationship on a better footing. Clearly, Washington’s allies in Asia as in Europe have got better at managing the often-difficult diplomatic dance with Trump. Flattery, gifts and fanfare, packaged with increases in defense spending and investment in the US, can make for a successful visit.

The positive tone of these meetings made for a strong backdrop to the bilateral session between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平). The meeting produced something of a truce in the US-China trade war, but did not resolve the underlying economic frictions or address the growing geopolitical tensions between the world’s two biggest economies.

China would resume some modest purchases of US soybeans, has promised to rein in exports of chemicals used to make fentanyl, and would postpone restrictions on rare earth exports for one year.

The US, for its part, would reduce overall tariffs on Chinese goods from 57 percent to 47 percent. A deal on the social media app TikTok appears close to being finalized. New export controls limiting what advanced US technology can go to China seem to have been put on hold.

However, a truce is not permanent peace. Trade issues could and probably would resurface, much as they recently have between the US and Canada when Trump was angered by a television spot put out by Ontario’s government that quoted former US president Ronald Reagan’s criticisms of tariffs. Moreover, owing to the dependence of many US companies’ supply chains on access to Chinese minerals and components, China retains important leverage over the US that could be brought to bear amid any crisis.

Perhaps more important, what did not emerge from the Trump-Xi meeting is any comprehensive rationale for this era of US-China relations, one that governs not just trade and investment, but also geopolitical differences. No surprise, then, that these talks ended with no common understanding about Taiwan, while China’s purchases of Russian energy and support for Russia’s military would continue. While these issues are sure to come up and even dominate Trump’s announced visit to China in April next year, progress is far from guaranteed.

There was a palpable sense of relief in the region that the US-China economic relationship emerged slightly more stable, as no one wants to be forced to choose between the two great powers. For many, China is their largest trading partner and a military force to be reckoned with. At the same time, many Indo-Pacific countries are dependent on the US for their security and economic wellbeing.

However, not everything went well in the region during Trump’s stay. US relations with Vietnam, like those with India, have taken a turn for the worse. China would be the principal beneficiary of this distancing between the US and countries that could complicate Chinese defense planning. More generally, the US has hurt its standing with many countries in the region by refusing to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, the region’s signature trade pact, and by Trump’s liberal use of tariffs.

Many are also uncomfortable about developments within the US. The federal government shutdown reflects a country so divided that it cannot function effectively, a view already made widespread by the government’s inability to deal with the country’s ballooning debt. Likewise, severe restrictions on immigration, reductions in federal research funding, and attacks on universities raise questions about long-term US competitiveness and reliability.

Most unnerving of all are trends in US foreign policy. Washington’s inconsistency toward backing Ukraine and its softness toward Russia have created fears that the US would choose a similar approach for dealing with Taiwan (and the South China Sea) and China.

Nor can the US’ friends and allies in Asia make sense of US military action off the coast of Venezuela in an effort that appears designed to bring down Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro’s regime, the Trump administration’s deployment of the US National Guard in US cities, and pressures on Panama’s government to cede control of the Panama Canal. Announced intentions to reduce the number of US troops in Europe would add to the impression of a US foreign policy in transition.

One could be forgiven for concluding that the pivot to Asia begun by former US president Barack Obama has been replaced by a pivot to the Western Hemisphere. Needless to say, this is not the pivot the US’ friends and allies in Asia were and are counting on.

The former US vice president was a key figure in expanding the White House’s power and corrupting the intelligence community

Former US vice president Dick Cheney, who has died aged 84, came to be seen as a moderate in his later years for his staunch opposition to US President Donald Trump, but he also stands accused of paving the way for Trumpism by undermining the independence of the intelligence agencies and the US’ adherence to international law.

As then-US president George W. Bush’s second-in-command in the “war on terror” declared after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, Cheney made himself one of the most powerful vice presidents in US history, and was a key protagonist in the push to invade Iraq, as well as the use of torture on suspected al-Qaeda members detained without charge in the CIA’s offshore “black sites.”

In doing so, he took an assertive view of the powers of the presidency relative to the other branches of government, arguing that the White House had been unduly constrained by the US Congress in the aftermath of the administration of former US president Richard Nixon and Watergate.

Even as he fiercely criticized the Trump team for its excesses, Cheney was unapologetic about his record. He said a US president should have a free hand in wielding US power in the world, which was justified in turn because the country was “the greatest force for good the world has ever known.” His 2015 book, authored with his daughter Liz, was titled Exceptional.

He argued that “enhanced interrogation,” the Bush administration’s euphemism for the use of torture, had “kept us safe.”

“I think it’s directly responsible for the fact that we’ve been able to avoid or defeat further attacks against the homeland for seven and a half years,” Cheney told the Washington Times in 2008.

However, there is no evidence that the use of torture, including waterboarding, led to the thwarting of any further attacks, and its use has served to taint testimony in several Sept. 11 cases being heard in Guantanamo Bay, making a proper trial on the US mainland impossible.

The Guantanamo internment camp is another legacy of the Bush-Cheney era, an enduring legal limbo which two ensuing Democratic administrations failed to shut. Trump has used it as a holding center for deported migrants.

Until his death, Cheney continued to insist that the 2003 invasion of Iraq and the toppling of then-Iraqi president Saddam Hussein was the right decision, although it unleashed a prolonged civil conflict that cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians.

“Saddam’s Iraq was the most likely nexus between the terrorists and the devastating weapons they sought,” Cheney and his daughter wrote in Exceptional.

The justification glossed over the fact that the weapons of mass destruction (WMD), which were the argument for going to war, did not exist. The Saddam regime had terminated the WMD programs years before.

The US intelligence community was initially ambivalent about the evidence for WMD in the run-up to the war. Cheney played the lead role in cajoling the agencies into producing reports in line with the administration’s conviction that they posed an existential threat and were about to fall into the hands of terrorists. To that end, the then-vice president overturned norms safeguarding the independence of the intelligence agencies by going in person on several occasions to CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, with the apparent aim of browbeating intelligence analysts.

“Cheney was a key figure in corrupting the intelligence-policy relationship on behalf of selling the Iraq war,” said Paul Pillar, who was the national intelligence officer for the Near East and South Asia in the US National Intelligence Council at the time of the invasion.

“He declared in a speech in August 2002 that ‘there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction’ — weeks before the intelligence community had even begun work on what would become a notorious estimate on that subject,” Pillar said.

“One can imagine the strain on intelligence officers if they were to try to directly contradict such a public declaration by a senior policymaker. Cheney also repeatedly goaded the intelligence agencies into trying to find any scraps of reporting that could be used to suggest that there was an alliance between the Iraqi regime and al-Qaeda,” he said.

Cheney played a decisive role in forcing through the passage of the USA Patriot Act six weeks after the Sept. 11 attacks, which broadly expanded the powers of the executive to carry out investigations and warrant-free surveillance in the name of counter-terrorism, despite the objections of civil liberties advocates who warned it would be weaponized against ordinary Americans.

The Trump administration has used the rallying cry of counter-terrorism to justify the suppression of dissent and even the use of force on the US homeland by the dramatically expanded and empowered US Immigration and Customs Enforcement units.

“When Dick Cheney was twisting international and domestic law into knots to expand executive power, build up the camps at Guantanamo, and empower the US torture program, we human rights lawyers predicted that we’d end up where we are now: with an executive that claims power to name any opposition ‘terrorism,’ and any state action a ‘war’ to escape accountability,” said Alka Pradhan, a defense lawyer at the Guantanamo Bay military tribunals and an adjunct law professor at the University of Pennsylvania.

“Every subsequent president, via the drone or extraordinary surveillance programs, has built on Cheney’s legacy to get to the present moment in US history,” she said.

Washington had the spotlight at APEC, but Beijing stole the show

US President Donald Trump might have grabbed the headlines during last week’s Asia tour, but deft diplomacy made his rival, Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平), the star of the show.

The leaders found common ground on some of their most contentious issues when they met on the sidelines of the APEC summit in South Korea. China would suspend certain controls on rare earth exports and restart purchases of US farm goods. In return, the US would freeze parts of its tariff program and halve fentanyl-related duties. However, this is temporary — some of the measures are only meant to last one year.

Then, Trump left — but Xi stayed on, using the forum to press ahead with China’s ambition to become the region’s most significant power.

His diplomatic efforts are a sharp foil to Trump’s transactional “America first” approach. The strategy is not new, but the stakes are far higher now. Xi pledged openness and supply chain stability, positioning Beijing as a champion of the global order Washington built, but now undermines through its punitive trade tariffs.

That image, of course, is complicated. Bending rules when it suits and weaponizing access to vast markets are now standard practice on both sides.

Still, Xi’s presence stood in stark contrast to Trump’s absence. Face time, as any good leader knows, is essential for relationship-building. Xi’s diplomacy rests on the idea that China represents a “non-Western form of modernization,” said Joseph Torigian, an associate professor at the American University School of International Service in Washington.

“China will try to make inroads even with countries that don’t make a total break with Washington,” he said.

Torigian, the author of The Party’s Interests Come First: The Life of Xi Zhongxun (習仲勳), Father of Xi Jinping, added that Xi’s aim is to build a more multipolar order, one in which Western liberal democracy is not seen as inevitable.

That approach allows him to engage comfortably with the US’ allies and adversaries, something he has done repeatedly in recent months. At APEC, he told Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi that conflicts should not define their ties. With Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, he opened the door to a reset, after years of a deep freeze over trade and detentions of Canadian citizens. On his first visit to South Korea in 11 years, Xi described the nations as inseparable neighbors. Beijing has had difficult relations with each of these countries in the past, yet the message was consistent: China is willing to cooperate.

The meetings fit a clear pattern of Xi promoting China as the region’s stable anchor. In September, he hosted important allies, Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, at a military parade in Beijing. At the Shanghai Cooperation Summit in Tianjin, China, he met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other global south leaders.

The number of foreign leaders visiting China surged last year, according to the International Institute for Strategic Studies. Since 2023, 74 percent of visiting heads of state have been from the global south, including Indonesia, Pakistan and South Africa.

Still, China’s aggression in the South China Sea is unsettling neighbors, and its claims to the disputed Diaoyutai Islands (釣魚台列嶼) — known as the Senkaku Islands in Japan — have repeatedly stoked tensions between Beijing and Tokyo. Concerns over Beijing’s muscular behavior in the Taiwan Strait are also mounting. For Washington, the antidote is simple: Show up. Recent efforts to secure rare earth supply chains through new alliances are a good start. Trump’s agreements with Japan, Thailand, Australia and Malaysia are a display of his blunt force deal-making. Meanwhile, the G7 plan for a broader critical-mineral global production pact could become a useful model for how to counter China’s dominance.

Trump returned to Washington with what he wanted: A de-escalation with Beijing, and a “12 out of 10” review of his own performance. He can claim that US interests were advanced — but only in the short term.

For Xi, the pause in trade hostilities with the US buys time and maintains leverage. Ultimately, when the pomp faded, he was still in the room. That is the image that will last.

PITCHERS’ NIGHT: Guardians reliever Li Wu Yung-qin was named Most Improved Player, while TSG Hawks closer Lin Shi-xiang won the Rookie of the Year award

Pedro Fernandez, ace pitcher with the Rakuten Monkeys, on Wednesday won the CPBL regular-season Most Valuable Player (MVP) award, becoming the first international player to do so.

Fernandez, who is from the Dominican Republic, earned 208 points out of a possible 230 in MVP voting for the regular season.

He also claimed the Taiwan Series MVP award at the ceremony at Kaohsiung Marriott Hotel.

In the league’s 36-year history, it was the first time that an international player had taken the two awards in one year and the fourth time that any player had done so.

“I want to thank each of my coaches and teammates. They are part of this special honor,” the right-hander said in a recorded speech.

“This achievement is not mine alone, but the fruition of our entire team,” Fernandez said, adding that he would never forget the moment.

With a hat-trick on Wednesday, Victor Osimhen moved atop the UEFA Champions League scoring table, with the Nigeria striker netting all three goals in Galatasaray’s 3-0 victory over Ajax in Amsterdam.

Osimhen moved to six goals this season in Europe’s elite club competition, one more than Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland.

The Istanbul club signed Osimhen to a permanent deal from SSC Napoli in the summer for a record transfer fee in the Turkish League reportedly worth US$86 million.

The 26-year-old striker needed less than 20 minutes to complete his first hat-trick in the competition.

He headed in the opener in the 59th minute off a cross from Leroy Sane. In the 66th and 78th minutes, his perfectly executed spot-kicks gave no chance to Ajax goalkeeper Remko Pasveer.

“We have a goal. We know what we want, and we know the magnitude of performance you need in the Champions League,” Osimhen told Galatasaray TV. “We want to match up with the elite. It won’t be easy, but we’ll go step by step. We have the individual quality to do damage to every team.”

In the previous Champions League games this term, he scored the lone goal in a 1-0 victory over Liverpool, also from a penalty, and added two more to help Galatasaray beat Bodo/Glimt 3-1.

Galatasaray have won three straight matches and are ninth with nine points halfway through the league phase.

In other games, Inter remained among the teams with a perfect record by beating Kairat 2-1, while Barcelona were held to a 3-3 draw against Club Brugge and Haaland extended his scoring streak in Manchester City’s 4-1 home win over Borussia Dortmund.

Lautaro Martinez and Carlos Augusto scored a goal in each half for Inter, who joined Bayern Munich and Arsenal as the only teams with four victories from four matches — the league phase’s halfway point.

Kairat, the Kazakhstan club who remain among the winless teams in the league phase, equalized with Ofri Arad early in the second half before Augusto gave the hosts the victory.

“We knew we had to win the first four games, and did it,” Inter defender Federico Dimarco said. “We have to think game after game, every match is tough in the Champions League.”

Barcelona came from behind three times in their draw against Club Brugge, with Lamine Yamal being decisive in the team’s comeback in Belgium.

He scored in the 61st minute and it was his shot in the 77th minute that led to an own-goal by Club Brugge midfielder Christos Tzolis for the 3-3 score.

Phil Foden netted twice for Man City, while Haaland scored his 27th goal in 17 matches for club and country this season.

The Norway striker has scored 14 times in his past nine games. Only twice has he failed to score in a game this season.

Jose Mourinho’s SL Benfica lost 1-0 at home to Bayer 04 Leverkusen for their fourth straight loss in the league phase.

Newcastle United beat Athletic Bilbao 2-0 at St James’ Park with goals by Dan Burn and Joelinton, making it three wins and clean sheets in a row to move up to sixth in the table.

Atalanta BC won 1-0 against Olympique de Marseille with a 90th-minute goal by Lazar Samardzic.

In the early games, Chelsea drew 2-2 against Qarabag, while Pafos earned their first-ever league-phase win by beating Spanish club Villarreal 1-0 at home in Cyprus.

Amanda Anisimova on Wednesday pulled off a stellar comeback to get the better of Iga Swiatek 6-7 (3/7), 6-4, 6-2 and book her spot in the last four of the WTA Finals in Riyadh, while Taiwan’s Hsieh Su-wei won in the doubles at the women’s year-ending event.

Making her tournament debut this week, the fourth-seeded Anisimova secured the runner-up spot in the Serena Williams Group behind Elena Rybakina. Rybakina completed round-robin play with a perfect 3-0 record, thanks to a 6-4, 6-4 success against Russian alternate Ekaterina Alexandrova earlier in the day.

Anisimova improved her three-set record this season to an impressive 15-3 by posting her 10th top-10 win of the year.

“It’s so funny, my mom keeps telling me: ‘You know you’ve won like so many three-set matches this year? You’re so strong.’ I was actually thinking about that. Against Iga today it was so, so tough, but honestly, I enjoyed it,” said Anisimova, who reached the finals at Wimbledon and the US Open this year.

“I’m so excited [to be in the semi-finals], this is surreal, especially for my first time playing here,” she said.

Swiatek and Anisimova split their two previous meetings, with the former triumphing in the Wimbledon final and the latter avenging that loss in the US Open quarter-finals.

On Wednesday at King Saud University Indoor Arena, the Pole saved all four break points she faced before she clinched the tiebreak to bag the opening set in 65 minutes.

The quality was incredibly high throughout and little separated the pair until Anisimova finally converted a break point in game 10 of the second set to draw level and force a decider.

The American made the first move in the final set, breaking in the fourth game on a Swiatek double fault. Another break sealed the deal for Anisimova over the six-time Grand Slam champion in 2 hours, 36 minutes.

This is the first time in Swiatek’s entire career that she has suffered two successive losses after winning the opening set.

The 24-year-old Pole was at a loss for words when trying to explain the reasons behind her defeat.

“I felt good mentally, physically and tennis-wise also it was nice, looking at the conditions and everything; so, I don’t really get why I couldn’t go out of the group,” Swiatek said. “Maybe I won too much in the last years and this is karma. It’s really hard for me to say. It feels weird. It’s not like I’m expecting [to win], but from my experiences, if I put so much intensity and grit and I cared that much, it usually paid off. So we’ll see if I keep working if it’s going to pay off or not.”

In a rematch of the Ningbo final from three weeks ago, won by Rybakina, the Kazakh fired eight aces and saved five of six break points en route to a 73-minute victory.

The world No. 6 extended her winning streak to nine consecutive matches — a run that began in Ningbo on Oct. 16 and continued through Tokyo, from which she withdrew at the semi-final stage, and Riyadh.

“Ekaterina is always a tough opponent and has a big serve. I’m happy I was able to win in straight sets. Each win gives you confidence and I’m pretty happy that for now my last matches have been great,” said Rybakina, who was playing with taping on her shoulder.

Rybakina entered the match with Alexandrova having already secured her place in the semi-finals as the winner of the group.

Alexandrova was brought in as a replacement for American Madison Keys, who withdrew ahead of the match due to a viral illness.

The Australian Open champion suffered two defeats in round-robin play this week in Riyadh, to Swiatek and Anisimova, and had no chance of advancing to the knockout stage.

In the doubles, Hsieh and partner Jelena Ostapenko of Latvia defeated Asia Muhammad of the US and the Netherlands’ Demi Schuurs 6-3, 6-1 in the Martina Navratilova Group to complete the opening stage undefeated.

“I just needed to have some fun tonight, because we knew we were already in” the semis, “but I didn’t want to put too much pressure on myself,” Hsieh told the WTA Web site after the match.

Muhammad and Schuurs led 3-2 and were up a break in a first set, which featured six deciding points, but they faded after that.

They finished with an 0-3 record in the group.

In the group’s other match, Veronika Kudermetova of Russia and Elise Mertens of Belgium beat Italian duo Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini 6-3, 6-3 to also advance.

‘NO CLARITY’:  If Trump loses, he would invoke other trade laws, just as companies were starting to get used to the idea of a somewhat more stable environment, an analyst said

The US Supreme Court’s tough questioning of US President Donald Trump’s global tariffs fueled increased speculation that they would be struck down, but raised the specter of additional chaos as he is widely expected to shift to other trade tactics in the wake of an adverse ruling.

On Wednesday during oral arguments, Supreme Court justices cast doubt on Trump’s authority to impose tariffs under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), which contains no references to tariffs — only language on regulating imports during national emergencies declared by the US president.

Three conservative justices raised questions about whether an emergency law gives Trump near-limitless power to set and change duties on imports, with potentially trillion-dollar implications for the global economy. The court’s three liberal justices also appeared dubious, so at least two conservative votes could limit Trump’s tariff power under the law.

Justice Neil Gorsuch, who Trump nominated to the court in 2017, appeared concerned that Trump’s assertion that he could impose tariffs by declaring a national emergency could shift too much congressional power to the president on an issue that helped spark the American Revolution.

“It’s a one-way ratchet toward the gradual, but continual accretion of power in the executive branch and away from the people’s elected representatives,” he said, later suggesting the “power to reach into the pockets of the American people” must be “done locally, through our elected representatives.”

Chief Justice John Roberts raised questions about whether the emergency-power law allowed for tariffs on “any product, from any country, in any amount, for any length of time.”

Justice Amy Coney Barrett, also a Trump nominee, pressed the government on the broad range of Trump’s action.

“Spain? France? I mean, I could see it with some countries, but explain to me why as many countries needed to be subject to the reciprocal tariff policy,” she said.

“Based on the questions posed by the justices, the IEEPA tariffs appear to be in jeopardy,” said Damon Pike, a principal with BDO USA’s customs and trade services practice.

All the court’s justices, except Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas, “seemed skeptical that IEEPA gives President Trump the power to levy unlimited tariffs on every product imported from every country around the world,” he added.

However, Pike said that if the Trump administration loses, it would simply invoke other trade laws, a view widely shared by trade lawyers, senior Trump administration officials, importing companies and analysts.

The groups had just started to get used to the idea of a somewhat more stable trade environment, bolstered by a new year-long US-China trade truce and more US deals with Southeast Asian countries that reduced the IEEPA tariff rates to more manageable levels.

Companies have clamored for certainty and predictability on tariffs so that they can plan their investments, but Conference Board policy executive David Young said he did not see relief in sight.

“We’ve still got no clarity — CEOs remain kind of precariously positioned around what the future looks like,” said Young, who briefed about 40 CEOs following the Supreme Court arguments. “Even if it goes against IEEPA, the uncertainty still continues.”

A ruling is unlikely before early next year, he said, and companies are totally in the dark about potential refunds of the more than US$100 billion in IEEPA tariffs paid so far if Trump loses.

The issue of refunds was raised by Barrett, who said that it “could be a mess” for the courts to administer refunds to US importers who have paid tariffs that were declared illegal.

Neal Katyal, a lawyer representing five small businesses challenging the tariffs, said that the firms would get their refunds automatically if the court ruled against the Trump administration, but all other companies would have to lodge administrative protests to get money back.

“It’s a very complicated thing” that could take a long time, he added.

DAILY REALITY:  Not all states consider sexual harassment a crime, which about 70% of women aged 15 and older experience at least once in their lives

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Wednesday called for sexual harassment to be made a crime nationwide after being groped on the street in an attack that underscored the dangers women in the Latin American country face.

Sheinbaum, 63, was attacked while greeting supporters near the presidential palace in Mexico City on Tuesday as she was walking to a public event.

A drunken man approached her, put his arm around her shoulder, and with the other hand touched her hip and chest, while attempting to kiss her neck.

A member of the presidential security detail pulled him away.

Mexico’s first female president initially appeared confused by the incident, which was caught on camera, even agreeing to take a picture with the man.

“This person approached, completely intoxicated ... it wasn’t until I saw the videos later that I realized what had really happened,” Sheinbaum said on Wednesday.

He was later arrested, and the president’s office confirmed that he has been charged with “harassment,” a category of crime that is enforced in the capital and about 20 Mexican states.

The harassment code bans lewd behavior, groping and disrespectful behavior that undermines dignity and causes emotional distress.

The incident put the focus on Mexico’s troubling record on women’s safety, with sexual harassment commonplace and rights groups warning of a femicide crisis.

About 70 percent of Mexican women aged 15 and older experience at least one incident of sexual harassment in their lives, UN data showed.

An average of 10 women are murdered every day in Mexico, the data showed.

Sheinbaum said she had pressed charges against the man and would review nationwide legislation on sexual harassment.

“My thinking is: if I don’t file a complaint, what becomes of other Mexican women? If this happens to the president, what will happen to all the women in our country?” she told her regular morning news conference.

Mexico’s 32 states and Mexico City, which is a federal entity, all have their own penal codes.

Mexico City defines sexual harassment as “conduct of a sexual nature that is undesirable to the person who receives it” and is punishable by one to three years in prison.

Not all states consider sexual harassment a crime.

“It should be a criminal offense, and we are going to launch a campaign,” Sheinbaum said, adding that she had experienced similar attacks in her youth.

Feminist groups said that such incidents were a daily reality for many Mexican women.

“Every day they are experiencing this situation of harassment, of intimidation,” Veronica Cruz, of Las Libres feminist collective, said, calling the fact of “it happening even to the president of the Republic” a symbol of the problem.

The attack also drew criticism of Sheinbaum’s security detail and of her insistence on maintaining a degree of intimacy with the public, despite Mexican politicians regularly being a target for cartel violence.

Former anti-drug prosecutor Samuel Gonzalez said that Tuesday’s incident sent a message to criminals that the head of state is “vulnerable,” a development he called “very worrying.”

title: Tech firms eye space for data centers

content_text:
Tech firms are floating the idea of building data centers in space and tapping into the sun’s energy to meet out-of-this-world power demands in a fierce artificial intelligence (AI) race.

US start-up Starcloud this week sent a refrigerator-sized satellite containing an Nvidia graphics processing unit (GPU) into orbit in what the AI chipmaker touted as a “cosmic debut” for the mini-data center.

“The idea is that it will soon make much more sense to build data centers in space than it does to build them on Earth,” Starcloud chief executive Philip Johnston said at a recent tech conference in Riyadh.

Along with a constant supply of solar energy, data centers are easier to cool in space, advocates say.

Announcements have come thick and fast, the latest being Google this week unveiling plans to launch test satellites by early 2027 as part of its Project Suncatcher.

That news came just days after tech billionaire Elon Musk claimed his Space Exploration Technologies Corp (SpaceX) should be capable of deploying data centers in orbit next year thanks to its Starlink satellite program.

Starcloud’s satellite was taken into space by a SpaceX rocket on Sunday.

Current projects to put data centers into orbit envision relying on clusters of low Earth orbit satellites positioned close enough together to ensure reliable wireless connectivity.

Lasers would connect space computers to terrestrial systems.

“From a proof concept, it’s already there,” said University of Arizona engineering professor Krishna Muralidharan, who is involved with such work.

Muralidharan believes space data centers could be commercially viable in about a decade.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, the tech titan behind private space exploration company Blue Origin, has estimated it might take up to twice that long.

Critical technical aspects of such operations need to be resolved, particularly harm done to GPUs by high levels of radiation and extreme temperatures, as well as the danger of being hit by space junk.

“Engineering work will be necessary,” University of Michigan assistant professor of engineering Christopher Limbach said, adding that it is a matter of cost rather than technical feasibility.

The big draw of space for data centers is power supply, with the option of synchronizing satellites to the sun’s orbit to ensure constant light on solar panels.

Tech titans building AI data centers have ever-growing need for electricity, and have even taken to investing in nuclear power plants.

Data centers in space also avoid the challenges of acquiring land and meeting local regulations or community resistance to projects.

Advocates say that data centers operating in space are less harmful overall to the environment, aside from the pollution generated by rocket launches.

Water needed to cool a space data center would be about the same amount used by a space station, relying on exhaust radiators and reusing a relatively small amount of liquid.

“The real question is whether the idea is economically viable,” Limbach said.

An obstacle to deploying servers in space has been the cost of getting them into orbit.

However, a reusable SpaceX mega-rocket called Starship with massive payload potential promises to slash launch expenses by at least 30 times.

“Historically, high launch costs have been a primary barrier to large-scale space-based systems,” Project Suncatcher head Travis Beals wrote online.

Project launch pricing data suggest prices might fall by the mid-2030s to the point at which “operating a space-based data center could become comparable” to having it on Earth, Beals added.

“If there ever was a time to chart new economic paths in space — or reinvent old ones — it is now,” Limbach said.


title: Disinformation tactics spotted ahead of COP30

content_text:
A clip said to show massive flooding in the Amazonian city hosting the UN climate summit is just one widely shared example of how disinformation, cheaply created with artificial intelligence (AI) and circulating on social media, is influencing perceptions of COP30.

A report released yesterday by the Coalition Against Climate Disinformation (CAAD) found that despite increasing support for policies to address climate change, the persistence of online falsehoods, supercharged by AI, help sustain an undercurrent of hostility toward science.

CAAD and the Observatory for Information Integrity highlighted a 267 percent surge, or more than 14,000 examples, of COP-related disinformation from July to September.

Activists project a message with a picture of Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on a building next to the Municipal Theater ahead of the COP30 climate conference in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on Wednseday. Photo: Reuters

Several videos implied Belem would not be fit to host the key conference, but one was filmed in Tbilisi, Georgia, while another recycled footage from two years ago.

In the video showing the city purportedly under water, the observatory said: “The reporter doesn’t exist, the people don’t exist, the flood doesn’t exist, and the city doesn’t exist.”

TikTok has not removed the video — which does not disclose its use of AI — despite observatory researchers flagging it to the platform.

It is reflective of a larger trend of AI-tainted climate content spread throughout the year.

Earlier this year, Agence France-Presse investigated a document claimed to have been written by Elon Musk’s Grok 3 AI. It wrongfully dismissed the credibility of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s climate models.

Research shows that more than 80 percent of people want stronger climate action, and 69 percent say they would contribute 1 percent of their monthly income to support it.

Yet, both UN Environment Assembly attendees and the general public vastly underestimate that willingness to mobilize.

“This is the impact of climate disinformation,” CAAD said. “Big Carbon’s spending and Big Tech’s algorithms are preventing us from seeing and hearing one another online. Instead, we’re exposed to one lie after another.”

Officials search for victims, answers after US crash

The grim task of finding victims from the firestorm that followed the crash of a UPS cargo plane in Louisville, Kentucky, entered a third day yesterday, as investigators gather information to determine why the aircraft caught fire and lost an engine on takeoff.

The inferno consumed the plane and spread to nearby businesses, killing at least 12 people, including a child, and leaving little hope of finding survivors in the charred area of the crash at UPS Worldport, the company’s global aviation hub.

The plane with three people aboard had been cleared for takeoff on Tuesday when a large fire developed in the left wing, said Todd Inman, a member of the National Transportation Safety Board, which is leading the investigation.

Determining why it caught fire and the engine fell off could take investigators more than a year.

The plane gained enough altitude to clear the fence at the end of the runway before crashing just outside Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, Inman said.

The cockpit voice recorder and data recorder have since been recovered, and the engine was discovered on the airfield, he added.

The crash and explosion had a devastating ripple effect, striking and causing smaller blasts at Kentucky Petroleum Recycling and hitting an auto salvage yard.

The child who was killed was with a parent at the salvage yard, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear said.

Some people who heard the boom, saw the smoke and smelled burning fuel were still stunned a day later.

Stooges Bar and Grill bartender Kyla Kenady said lights suddenly flickered as she took a beer to a customer on the patio.

“I saw a plane in the sky coming down over top of our volleyball courts in flames,” she said. “In that moment, I panicked. I turned around, ran through the bar screaming, telling everyone that a plane was crashing.”

The governor predicted that that death toll would rise, saying authorities were looking for a “handful of other people,” but “we do not expect to find anyone else alive.”

University of Louisville Hospital said that two people were in critical condition in its burn unit, while 18 people were treated and discharged at that hospital or other healthcare centers.

The status of the three UPS crew members aboard the McDonnell Douglas MD-11, made in 1991, was still unknown, Beshear said.

It was not clear if they were being counted among the dead.

Jeff Guzzetti, a former federal crash investigator, said a number of things could have caused the fire as the UPS plane was rolling down the runway.

“It could have been the engine partially coming off and ripping out fuel lines, or it could have been a fuel leak igniting and then burning the engine off,” Guzzetti said.

The crash bears a lot of similarities to one in 1979 when the left engine fell off an American Airlines jet as it was departing Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport, killing 273 people, he said.

Guzzetti said that jet and the UPS plane were equipped with the same General Electric engines and both planes underwent heavy maintenance in the month before they crashed. The 1979 crash involved a DC-10, but the MD-11 UPS plane is based on the DC-10.

Five trapped in collapse

Five people yesterday remain trapped after the collapse of a large structure at a power station in Ulsan, a fire official said, although four others were pulled from the rubble. Footage from the scene showed a massive steel structure mangled and toppled over in the southeastern city surrounded by similar structures. A fire official, Kim Jung-shik, told reporters that workers were in the process of taking down parts of the structure, a decommissioned heating facility, to prepare it for demolition in about 10 days when the accident occurred. Two people were quickly rescued and then two others were pulled from the rubble, Kim said. A rescue operation was ongoing, he added.

Fighters in Ukraine seek help

The government has received pleas from 17 citizens, aged 20 to 39, who had joined mercenary forces fighting in Ukraine’s war-ravaged Donbas region to help bring them home, the presidency said in a statement yesterday. It did not make clear for which side the men were fighting. The men were “lured to join mercenary forces involved in the Ukraine-Russia war under the pretext of lucrative employment contracts,” it said. President Cyril Ramaphosa has ordered an investigation into the recruitment of South African men as mercenaries, the presidency said. It is illegal for South Africans to join foreign armies unless authorized by the government.

Trump talks Jimmy Lai with Xi

President Donald Trump appealed directly to Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平) to free jailed Hong Kong media tycoon Jimmy Lai (黎智英) when the two leaders met in South Korea last week, according to three people briefed on the talks and a US administration official. Trump did not discuss a specific deal to free Lai, but spoke more broadly about concerns surrounding the 77-year-old publishing mogul’s health and well-being after his lengthy trial on national security charges, one of the people said. Trump spent less than five minutes discussing the issue, the person added. “It was raised by Trump and noted by Xi,” one of the sources said, speaking on condition of anonymity. That person said Trump suggested that Lai’s release would be good for US-China relations and beneficial for China’s image. Trump’s direct intervention comes as Lai awaits a verdict after a trial widely seen as a symbol of China’s crackdown on rights and freedoms in the territory. Lai, who founded the now-shuttered pro-democracy Apple Daily, has pleaded not guilty to two charges of conspiracy to collude with foreign forces, and a charge of conspiracy to publish seditious material.

Man finds gold in yard

A man earlier this year discovered US$800,000 of gold treasure while digging a swimming pool in his yard, local officials have said. The man informed the local authorities after he made the discovery in May, and they allowed him to keep the gold as it did not come from an archeological site, the council in the eastern town of Neuville-sur-Saone said on Wednesday. He found “five gold bars and many coins” buried in plastic bags, local daily Le Progres reported. Police found the gold had been acquired legally and had been melted down some “15 or 20 years ago” at a nearby refinery, it said. The previous owner of the garden has died, the town hall said, and how the gold ended up there remains a mystery.

Restaurant review: Comfort Burger Company: smash burgers from Toronto to TaipeiServing up trendy smash burgers, Canadian staples and hipster vibes, Comfort Burger is an injection of fresh energy into Taipei’s busy burger market

Taiwan can often feel woefully behind on global trends, from fashion to food, and influences can sometimes feel like the last on the metaphorical bandwagon.

In the West, suddenly every burger is being smashed and honey has become “hot” and we’re all drinking orange wine.

But it took a good while for a smash burger in Taipei to come across my radar.

For the uninitiated, a smash burger is, well, a normal burger patty but smashed flat.

Originally, I didn’t understand. Surely the best part of a burger is the thick patty with all the juiciness of the beef, the melt in the mouth texture, preferably medium rare... isn’t that the whole point? Why would anyone “smash” a perfectly good thing?

But you gotta try it. The last thing I would describe it as is “dry.”


title: Turmoil in tiaras at Miss Universe pageant in Thailand

content_text:
This year’s Miss Universe in Thailand has been marred by ugly drama, with allegations of an insult to a beauty queen’s intellect, a walkout by pageant contestants and a tearful tantrum by the host. More than 120 women from across the world have gathered in Thailand, vying to be crowned Miss Universe in a contest considered one of the “big four” of global beauty pageants.

But the runup has been dominated by the off-stage antics of the coiffed contestants and their Thai hosts, escalating into a feminist firestorm drawing the attention of Mexico’s president.

On Tuesday, Mexican delegate Fatima Bosch staged a dramatic walkout — in an evening gown and high heels — from a meeting where she was lambasted by Miss Universe host Nawat Itsaragrisil.

In a livestream of the event, Nawat seemed to single out Miss Mexico and call her a “dumbhead” during a dispute over her apparent failure to post promotional content on her social media.

He has since denied using the term.

But after Nawat called for security to intervene, the besashed Bosch staged a walkout flanked by Miss Iraq, who wore a bejewelled floor-length robe.

“What your director did is not respectful: he called me dumb,” Bosch told a press gaggle. “The world needs to see this because we are empowered women and this is a platform for our voice.”

Other beauty queens appeared to rise in solidarity with Bosch, before freezing as Nawat warned those still wanting to participate should “sit down.”

The drama provoked a reaction from Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, who on Wednesday said Bosch was an “example of how we women should speak out” in the face of aggression.

“In public events, I say women look prettier when we speak out,” she said. “So my recognition goes to this young woman.”

Mexico’s embassy in Thailand said on its Facebook page it is in “constant communication” with Bosch and her relatives, but did not respond to a request for further comment.

‘BETRAYED’

Nawat, meanwhile, has seen his own behavior publicly shamed by the Miss Universe Organization.

“I will not allow the values of respect and dignity toward women to be violated,” president Raul Rocha said in a grandiose podium speech.

“Unfortunately, Nawat has forgotten the true meaning of what it means to be a genuine host,” he added, accusing him of “public aggression” and saying his role in the pageant would be limited.

Afterwards Nawat appeared at a press conference wearing a tuxedo and openly weeping as he theatrically dabbed his eyes with a handkerchief, claiming he had been “betrayed.”

But he had a starring role in the opening ceremony of the competition on Wednesday night, standing contrite before the assembled grinning beauty queens where he offered an apology.

“I am a human,” he said. “The pressure is a lot.”

“I have not intended to harm anyone because I respect all of you. I have to say I am so sorry.”

It is not the first time the mogul — also the president of Thailand-based pageant Miss Grand International (MGI) — has been caught in a spat fit for a telenovela.

Last year, contestants of MGI were incensed after having to sit on plastic chairs and eat peanuts on a tourist boat in Cambodia instead of a highly-anticipated luxury river cruise.

Even before the fight with Miss Mexico, this year’s Miss Universe pageant had been struck by controversy.

Thai media reported police investigated participants for allegedly filming clips featuring pillows branded with the name of an online casino at their hotel, a breach of the country’s strict gambling laws.

Barring any further drama, the pageant final is set to be held on Nov. 21 in Nonthaburi province.

‘Sentimental Value’ is mature, sharp, bittersweet and maybe even a little hopeful

The focus of Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value may be small and limited — one Norwegian family struggling to connect and communicate — and yet its emotional scope is downright cosmic. This is a film about life in the arts, about fulfillment and forgiveness, about performance, about stories true and falsely remembered, about home, about trauma, about allowing oneself to be seen and about some really excellent sweaters.

And at its heart is Stellan Skarsgard, doing some of his finest work in years as an acclaimed film director, Gustav Borg, who always chose his work over his family. Gustav is a familiar type, the kind of charismatic narcissist that professions like film director seem to attract and, often, exaggerate. He’s the kind who’s able to forge deep and meaningful connections with actors he’s just met and will only know for a few months that will produce great and lasting art. Yet his own daughters, Nora ( Renate Reinsve ) and Agnes (Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas), may as well be strangers. Now with his career in danger of fading into retrospective territory, he’s trying to right those wrongs (and, you know, make a comeback) the only way he knows how: Making another movie. Some people never learn.

What better time to approach Nora about starring in it than right after her mother and his ex-wife’s death? It’s not so random: Nora is a rather celebrated actor in Oslo, though her preferred medium is the stage. She’s so good, in fact, that she continues to get lead roles despite being what one might describe as a difficult and unreliable member of the company. In an early scene, we watch her attempt numerous times to flee right as the curtain is about to go up. But Gustav doesn’t go see her plays. And she doesn’t care about his films, or him. He’s a drunk who was never there, she says. And so, without even reading the script that he excitedly says he wrote for her, she turns down the offer.

The wounds run deep in this family, tethered to a home that has spanned generations and all of the highs and lows of life through the decades, including Gustav’s mother’s imprisonment torture during World War II. It can sound tiresome and cliche to describe places and things as characters, but the extended metaphor here is lovely and real, a physical space that is metaphorically the only thing tying them together. Gustav even wants to use it as a set for his film, which gets a second life when he connects with an American movie star named Rachel Kemp (Elle Fanning) who is desperate to do something meaningful.

Soon comes the Netflix money, and some fun “inside show business” moments as Rachel prepares to play a difficult-to-crack character inspired by Gustav’s mother, who many years ago died by suicide in their home. There are shades of Persona as Rachel dyes her hair to match Nora’s and tries to understand not just the character but Nora as well.

When Rachel decides to drop out of the project, Gustav slips into an unexpectedly tender and fatherly mode, perfectly understanding, and comforting. When he cradles her head in with a gentle hug, it’s a lovely moment that’s laced with a melancholic truth: This is not something that Gustav has ever, or will ever, be able to do with his own kids.

In this group of wonderful performances, Lilleaas may be the real breakout for American audiences. As Agnes, she’s the one who her father chose to star in one of his films as a child and then walked away from acting entirely. Out of the bunch she seems to be the most well-adjusted, with a husband and son and ordinary concerns about money and protecting her older, more fragile sister. But beneath the surface, she has lingering pain too: For a brief moment, she was the center of her father’s world, and then it was gone. When he asks her if he can use her young son in his new film, the reaction is visceral and charged.

As in life, things kind of work themselves out and also kind of don’t. Trier and his longtime cowriter Eskil Vogt have deftly crafted a deeply humane and relatable story that feels whole and satisfying and cinematic without resorting to trite and tidy resolutions and redemptions.

It’s a tall task to follow up a smash like The Worst Person in the World, but Sentimental Value rises to the occasion: Mature, sharp, bittersweet and maybe even a little hopeful.

Daniel Day-Lewis discusses his method acting conflict with Brian CoxThe triple Oscar-winning actor, who immerses himself in his characters, took issue with Cox’s questioning of Jeremy Strong’s behavior on the set of ‘Succession’

Daniel Day-Lewis has spoken out over being drawn into what he called a “handbags at dawn conflict” with fellow actor Brian Cox over method acting.

Speaking to the Big Issue, Day-Lewis reflected on his commitment to the technique being pitted against the skepticism of Cox, who had made disparaging remarks about the approach adopted by actors including his Succession co-star Jeremy Strong, suggesting he’d found his on-set behavior “irritating.”

“Listen, I worked with Brian Cox once and got somehow drawn into this handbags at dawn conflict inadvertently,” said Day-Lewis. “Brian is a very fine actor who’s done extraordinary work. As a result, he’s been given a soapbox … which he shows no sign of climbing down from. Any time he wants to talk about it, I’m easy to find.

“If I thought during our work together I’d interfered with his working process, I’d be appalled. But I don’t think it was like that. So I don’t know where the fuck that came from. Jeremy Strong is a very fine actor, I don’t know how he goes about things, but I don’t feel responsible in any way for that.”

Day-Lewis’s unhappiness with the representation of method acting — whereby an actor immerses themselves in their character both on and off set — has become apparent on the press tour for his new film, Anemone.

He has addressed the issue in most, if not all, of his recent interviews. Appearing at the BFI Southbank last month, Day-Lewis said “recent commentary” about the technique “is invariably from people who have little or no understanding of what it actually involves. It’s almost as if it’s some specious science that we’re involved in, or a cult.”

He told the Big Issue: “I can’t think of a single commentator who’s gobbed off about the method that has any understanding of how it works and the intention behind it.

“They focus on, ‘Oh, he lived in a jail cell for six months’ [for 1993 film In the Name of the Father]. Those are the least important details. In all the performing arts, people find their methods as a means to an end. It’s with the intention of freeing yourself so you present your colleagues with a living, breathing human being they can interact with. It’s very simple.

“So it pisses me off this whole, ‘Oh, he went full method,’ thing … Because it’s invariably attached to the idea of some kind of lunacy.”

Day-Lewis went on to contrast his own on-set professionalism with that of some of his colleagues, who instead spend their time playing pranks.

“I choose to stay and splash around,” said Day-Lewis, “rather than jump in and out or play practical jokes with whoopee cushions between takes or whatever people think is how you should behave as an actor.”

▲隨著福建艦正式服役，中國海軍迎來歷史性里程碑，具備三航母運作能力。（圖／翻攝自Facebook／中華軍武論壇3.0）

軍武中心／綜合報導

中國海軍實力迎來歷史性突破。綜合多方消息指出，中國第三艘航空母艦「福建艦」（舷號18）已於11月5日在海南三亞軍港舉行了盛大的入列成軍儀式，正式交付予南部戰區。據信，身兼中央軍委主席的國家主席習近平親自出席並主持了儀式，象徵中國正式邁入「三航母」時代，海軍力量達到新的里程碑。

儘管中國官方媒體尚未正式發布入列消息，但多項證據均指向儀式已經完成。根據航班追蹤資訊，習近平的專機已於5日飛抵三亞。與此同時，有照片顯示福建艦與山東艦一同停泊於三亞軍港，艦上掛滿旗飾，呈現出舉行重大慶典的景象。此外，三亞海事局亦於本週稍早發布了自4日至6日傍晚的周邊海域禁航警告，為儀式的舉行清空了場地。

新華社於6日報導，習近平當日在三亞聽取了海南自由貿易港建設的匯報。外界普遍認為，此行程的主要目的即是為主持福建艦的入列儀式，據悉，目前習近平在儀式結束後已經離開海南。

更值得關注的是，此次交付並非單一艦艇。消息透露，與福建艦一同入列的，是一個完整的航空母艦打擊群，編隊包含：

●1艘 093B型核潛艦●1艘 075型兩棲攻擊艦●1艘 055型萬噸級大型驅逐艦●2艘 052D型導彈驅逐艦●1艘 電子偵察船

若消息屬實，這意味著中國海軍一次性接收了一支具備強大遠洋作戰能力的航母戰鬥編隊，其規模與戰力均不容小覷。

福建艦是中國自主設計建造的第二艘國產航母，也是第一艘採用平直甲板與電磁彈射系統的航母，其技術水平與作戰效能遠超過現役的遼寧艦與山東艦。此次福建艦及其打擊群的成軍，將極大提升中國海軍的區域影響力與全球兵力投射能力。目前，各界正靜待中國官方媒體發布正式公告。

梁文傑6日在例行記者會上提到，政府是按照兩岸條例來依法行政，對每個個案都是審慎處理，關於錢麗的案子要再次聲明，由於錢麗原先是「定居」狀態，被撤銷「定居」就變成是「長期居留」的狀態。

梁文傑指出，若錢麗繼續相關言行的話，那她的長期居留狀態，政府可能就不得不依法處理。

梁文傑強調，他們希望每位陸配朋友來到台灣，都能安居樂業，但如果對台灣社會的秩序或是國家安定造成影響的話，都不是他們所樂見的。

梁文傑坦言，陸委會、移民署收到無數針對錢麗的檢舉函，只要有人檢舉，他們就必須要回應民眾。

另外，陸配網紅「灣灣小月」日前在台北捷運上拍片，與另一名乘客爆發激烈口角，她還大罵對方是「青鳥」。對此，梁文傑表示，他知道這一位人物，相關機關也都在注意，個案的言行都會去看，所以現在還沒有辦法給出明確答案，要審查過後才會知道。

「從橡實到餐桌」不是什麼生活廚藝節目，而是蘇格蘭威士忌酒廠麥卡倫（Macallan）要說的故事，強調從種植橡樹、製桶到注入酒液封存靜待熟成，全程都是自家工藝，不假他人之手。日前 麥卡倫釀酒大師Kirsteen Campbell及全球品牌教育總監Alexander Robertson來台，同時曝光經典雪利桶25年及30年兩款高年份威士忌，Kirsteen Campbell直言：「能在30年後親自挑選出這些珍稀酒桶，是釀酒師的榮幸。」

麥卡倫被譽為雪莉桶王者，最初由麥卡倫在酒壇掀起使用雪莉桶的風潮，各酒廠紛紛跟進，如今成為威士忌熟成的主流做法，但光是這樣還不夠，麥卡倫建立了雪莉桶供應鏈，從契作永續林區挑選優質橡木，歷經4年自然風乾、送至西班牙赫雷斯火烤塑形成桶，再與頂級雪利酒品牌瓦德比諾（Valdespino）合作，以頂級雪莉酒開啟18個月的潤桶工序，取出雪莉酒後，橡木桶也收飽了深邃的香氣，準備開始下一趟旅程。

▲麥卡倫經典雪莉橡木桶25年。

另一頭的蘇格蘭，酒液透過小型蒸餾器，提高與銅的接觸面積，慢慢地在蒸餾過程中讓新酒發展出馥郁果香與飽滿渾厚的酒體，接著封存於從西班牙運送至蘇格蘭的雪莉橡木桶中，靜待熟成。Kirsteen Campbell透露，釀酒大師團隊為確保的品質，採小批量生產威士忌，除了細心檢查風味、香氣與口感的整體平衡，更要經過636次的檢測，以確保所有條件均優雅平衡、符合標準。

Alexander Robertson表示，台灣的威士忌市場很成熟，大家喜歡單一純麥、雪莉桶，麥卡倫正是雪莉桶中的佼佼者，希望提供的不只有風味還有工藝，同時強調創新和創意。此次現身的經典雪利桶25年及30年酒款，很能代表麥卡倫的精神，針對經典雪莉桶25年，Kirsteen Campbell分享：「這款酒主要以初次雪莉桶熟成，展現深度與豐富性；而少量的再填桶，則為酒液注入活力與平衡，使整體風味更顯層次。」

▲麥卡倫釀酒大師Kirsteen Campbell。

30年當然更為珍稀，超過4成酒液會隨時間揮發，留下濃郁的風味與深度，由釀酒大師團隊每年逐桶甄選、限量裝瓶，酒液呈現古老橡木光澤的深紅褐色、酒體渾厚，品飲後餘韻縈繞，內斂而充滿力量，Kirsteen Campbell直言：「這是一款真正的經典之作，展現歐洲橡木的極致風味。能親自挑選這些經過30年的珍稀酒桶，是我們釀酒師的榮幸，也是對時間與工藝的最高敬意。」

慕赫（Mortlach）全新的慕赫・無界系列的首發之作「破曉」，酒液在幾乎不與銅接觸的蒸餾條件下，淬鍊出醇厚風味，並與法國頂級製桶廠合作，由首席調酒師Craig Wilson挑選長時間天然風乾的法國橡木新桶，於法國干邑區進行長時間風乾，因此能軟化橡木中的單寧，增添酒液的果香與鮮味層次，造就豐富的肉脂感、木質辛香，以及飽滿的水果蜜香。

▲慕赫・無界系列「破曉」，700ml、3,680元。

百富（The Balvenie）百富首席調酒師Kelsey McKechnie與窖藏管理員George Paterson在酒廠深處探索，發現了塵封多年的稀有酒桶，承載了匠人智慧與歲月風味，由此發展出百富故事系列「窖藏奇遇」，最新力作為極具實驗性的12年蒙地亞甜酒桶單一麥芽威士忌，採用蘇格蘭威士忌熟成中少見的蒙地亞甜酒桶，聞香時散發麥芽糖與蜂蜜的香氣，入口先感受糖漬水果的細緻甜味，隨之展現濃郁的香草橡木、溫潤辛香與果乾氣息，口感平衡且耐人尋味。

title: 冠心症年輕化　北榮桃園分院：忽視胸悶恐釀大禍

taiwan-subdivisions: 桃園 林口 成功 臺北

記者楊淑媛／桃園報導

林口一名39歲科技業工程師，近日工作壓力大、常熬夜應酬，突感胸口劇痛，經送醫檢查後確診為急性冠心症，所幸及時接受心導管手術，成功疏通阻塞血管，才化險為夷。臺北榮民總醫院桃園分院6日指出，近期多家醫院通報，冠心症病患年齡層明顯下降，有30多歲上班族因長期胸悶卻不以為意，最後竟因心肌梗塞緊急送醫。

冠心症不再是老年人的專利，生活壓力大、不健康飲食與缺乏運動，都是現代人「心血管超載」的主因。榮民總醫院桃園分院心臟內科林馳揚醫師說，現代人長時間久坐、飲食油膩且缺乏運動，皆會增加血脂異常與動脈粥狀硬化產生，進而提高冠心症風險。尤其是年輕族群，往往忽視早期徵兆，易導致延誤治療時機。

▲北榮桃園分院心導管團隊即時為病人進行精準檢查與處置。（圖／北榮桃園分院提供）

他提醒，40歲以上民眾應定期接受心血管風險評估，若有高血壓、高血脂、糖尿病或冠心症家族史者，更要提高警覺。一旦出現持續胸悶、胸痛，應儘速就醫確認。

林馳揚醫師表示，冠心症的可怕之處在於發作前常無明顯警訊，等到症狀明顯時往往已危及生命。他強調：「心血管疾病預防重於治療。只要建立良好生活習慣並定期檢查，就能大幅降低發病風險。不要等到心痛，才想起健康的重要。」林醫師呼籲全民關注心血管健康，從日常生活中落實保「心」行動。

該院表示，根據衛福部統計，心臟疾病長年高居國人十大死因前列，而冠心症則是其中最常見的類型。冠心症是因為供應心臟的冠狀動脈狹窄或阻塞，導致心肌缺血甚至壞死，常見症狀包括胸悶、胸痛與呼吸困難等。

記者楊淑媛／桃園報導

桃園市桃園區南門市場5日深夜發生大火，引發各界關注。市議員林政賢6日要求市府，儘速啟動南門市場災後復原三大緊急措施，分別為：一、動用第二預備金推動「南門市場原址重建」；二、編列「專案災害救助金」協助受災攤商度難關；三、開放南門公園及市場周圍、抑或東門市場等其他合適場地設置「臨時中繼市場」。

市議員林政賢表示，他在議會定期大會，曾多次呼籲整頓並重建南門市場。南門市場自民國40年代成立以來，已有逾60年歷史，應參考新永和市場的重建模式，盡速規劃具現代化設施的全新市場，這次大火災情嚴重，市府宜動用第二預備金推動「南門市場原址重建」，期早日讓南門市場重現榮光。

對於這場突如其來的惡火，造成市場三分之二區域受損，短期內恐難恢復營運。林政賢認為，應立即編列專案救助金，依受損程度補助攤商，以協助其渡過停業期間的急難生計困境。

為讓受災攤販能在過渡期間維持生計，建議市府比照其他縣市災後處理案例，開放南門公園及市場周圍、抑或東門市場等其他合適場地設置「臨時中繼市場」。提供臨時攤位、租金減免及行銷宣傳等配套措施，確保攤商不致流失顧客，維繫地方經濟循環。

因應非洲豬瘟疫情，中央政府宣布全面禁用廚餘餵豬，廚餘的收運及處理成為各地環保單位的首要議題；竹山鎮公所表示，自108年起已透過清潔隊建置完善處理系統，目前全力配合政策並啟動廚餘處理緊急應變作業，將在每週約35噸處理量的基礎上，再增加處理10至12噸。

鎮公所說明，現於每週二、四下午1點至5點開放廚餘進場，專責處理鎮內增量的廚餘，並參照協助鹿谷鄉公所廚餘進場收費標準，每公斤徵收4元處理費，以解決鎮內業者廚餘堆置之苦。

鎮公所指出，該鎮「廚餘全面去化」政策行之有年，處理流程包括廚餘收集、篩分、與破碎副資材堆肥發酵、製成有機土並封袋發放，後續廣泛應用於公園、圓環、街道及公共綠地綠化工程，並於每月第四個星期六辦理「領鮮週六─草花發放活動」，將經廚餘轉化的有機土栽植之草花回饋鄉親，鼓勵民眾共同參與廚餘分類與回收，形成良性循環，也達到廢棄物再利用的最大效益。

竹山鎮長陳東睦表示，希望鎮民能落實「吃多少、煮多少」的惜食理念，共同減少廚餘產生量以面對本次環境危機；鎮公所未來將持續強化廚餘處理量能、善用有機堆肥資源，落實地方環保、廚餘減量與防疫。

▲《末代皇帝》裡，尊龍與陳沖分別飾演溥儀與婉容。（圖／甲上提供）

作者／馬賽克

作為一部外國人拍攝的中國題材電影，義大利名導貝托魯奇(Bernardo Bertolucci）描述溥儀生平的電影《末代皇帝》(The Last Emperor,1987)，除了是第一部獲中國批准在北京故宮拍攝的西方電影之外、更在商業上獲得空前的成功：遠勝之前的《大地》(The Good Earth,1937)、或《北京55天》(55 Days at Peking,1963)。

該片在第60屆奧斯卡頒獎典禮上贏得「全壘打」，9項提名全部獲獎：包括最佳影片、導演、攝影、改編劇本等；在「全壘打」史上跟《金粉世界》(Gigi,1958)並列第二，僅次於獲11項的《魔戒三部曲：王者再臨》(The Lord of the Rings:The Return of the King,2003)。

▲真實版的溥儀與婉容。（圖／公共版權照片）

《末代皇帝》推銷的是「東方主義」奇觀式的觀影感受。影片開始時，隨著打擊樂流瀉出嗚咽的二胡樂聲，悠揚中浮沈著淡淡的哀愁，為這趟「東方主義 」之旅拉開了序幕。接著，紫禁城內的奇幻景象、戰犯管理所的「古拉格式」樣貌、以及文革時紅衛兵鬥爭反革命分子的誇張、怪奇畫面，莫說外國人看得目瞪口呆，恐怕連大陸海外的華人看了都同樣會驚訝不已。

曾為《現代啟示錄》、《烽火赤焰萬里情》掌鏡的攝影大師維托里奧·斯托拉羅(Vittorio Storaro)，再一次用他的鏡頭讓觀眾目眩神迷。影片開始時採雙故事線並行：20世紀初亮黃色、溫暖的紫禁城內風景，跟1950年時撫順戰犯管理所的灰色、陰冷畫面交叉出現，對比強烈且飽含寓意（兩者皆是監獄，但人性的溫度不同）。

這是一部關於「美」的電影，貝托魯奇不但美化了溥儀的外型（溥儀本尊的樣子，跟男主角尊龍真的差很多），也美化了他的性格與作所所為。本片長達163分鐘，後來推出的加長版更長達218分鐘。但兩個版本裡，紫禁城的戲分都佔了一半；而在溥儀人生裡十分重要的滿洲國，電影裡只佔約五分之一的篇幅。他一生裡的許多罪行，也被抹去。

編導無疑是同情溥儀的：認為他頂多是一名傀儡。儘管貝托魯奇本身是一名馬克思主義者， 但他顯然並不認為集中營式的政治改造是合理的。影片末段出現1967年時文革的畫面。溥儀目睹當年撫順戰犯管理所的典獄長金源（英若誠飾演）被紅衛兵押著遊街，他被指控是「反革命分子」，金源不認罪。溥儀則為他求情說：「他是好人！」

諷刺來了，當初溥儀在戰犯管理所裡不是被指控諸多罪行、溥儀否認後，遭到所方的強迫再教育嗎？證明貝托魯奇不認同集中營式政治改造的另一項證據，是片末字幕最後出現的一行字：感謝鮑若望，《毛澤東的囚徒》的作者。

鮑若望(Jean Pasqualini)是中、法混血兒。中共建政前，曾在英國駐北京的使館工作。1957年「反右運動」時，他因為曾替外國人工作，被打為「反革命分子」，下放勞改營改造。1964年中、法建交後，鮑若望獲釋赴法。1973年他出版《毛澤東的囚徒》一書，記述了他被勞改和審問的經歷。貝托魯奇拍攝《末代皇帝》的戰犯管理所內容時，想必向他請益甚多。

記者蔡宜芳／綜合報導

男星野獸（韋佳宏）因《模范棒棒堂》踏入演藝圈，後來以Choc7（超克7）成員身分出道。他6日在社群透露，自己在加入《棒棒堂》前，曾遭黑道威脅要他「放棄演藝圈」，回想當時自己的反應，他也直言「不可思議」。

▲野獸是《模范棒棒堂》的第四代成員。（圖／翻攝自Facebook／韋佳宏 (野獸)）

野獸坦言，當年自己毫無背景，只是個一心想闖演藝圈的高中生，「那時候在學校，被已經先簽約的某些藝人的經紀公司盯上，他們乾脆直接叫了黑道來。」

野獸透露，當時16歲的自己，被黑道押在涼亭的長椅上，額頭上還被真槍抵住，「對方要我放棄、離開、不要再想往這條路走。我那時什麼都不懂，也沒有退路。不知道那種膽是從哪來的，我只回了一句：『有種你就開槍啊。』。」

▲野獸透露在加入《棒棒堂》前，曾被威脅退出演藝圈。（圖／翻攝自Facebook／韋佳宏 (野獸)）

如今回想起來，野獸還是覺得不可思議，「那天到底是誰給了我那種勇氣——我自己嗎？還是命運？」後來，他也明白了背後的利害關係，「有些人，是靠背景走路；而我，是靠自己活下來」。

【野獸全文】

說來話長。當初要進棒棒堂之前，我完全沒有背景。那時候在學校，被已經先簽約的某些藝人的經紀公司盯上，他們乾脆直接叫了黑道來。

16歲的我，被壓在涼亭的長椅上，真槍就抵在額頭。對方要我放棄、離開、不要再想往這條路走。

我那時什麼都不懂，也沒有退路。不知道那種膽是從哪來的，我只回了一句：

「有種你就開槍啊。」

到現在回想，都還是會覺得不可思議。那天到底是誰給了我那種勇氣——我自己嗎？還是命運？

只是後來才明白：有些人，是靠背景走路。而我，是靠自己活下來。

美國電動車品牌 Lucid Group 宣布將與 NVIDIA 攜手合作，計畫在未來中型車系中導入 NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor 平台，實現真正「眼不看、手不放、心不管（eyes-off, hands-off, mind-off）」的 Level 4 自動駕駛技術，成為全球首批可由消費者擁有的 L4 等級自動駕駛車之一。Lucid 表示，這項合作同時將結合 NVIDIA 的工業 AI 平台與 Omniverse 數位孿生技術，推動智慧製造與生產效率革新。

Lucid 臨時執行長 Marc Winterhoff 表示，品牌目標在於打造市場上最卓越的車輛，過去已在續航力、效率、空間與操控方面樹立標竿，如今將藉由結合人工智慧與工程實力，邁向更聰明、更安全的自動駕駛未來。NVIDIA 創辦人暨執行長黃仁勳則指出，隨著車輛逐漸演變為「車輪上的超級電腦」，雙方的合作將加速推動智慧交通的願景，展現軟體定義車輛的新時代。

Lucid 的自動駕駛發展始於 2021 年推出的 DreamDrive Pro 系統，該系統近期已透過 OTA 更新新增免手操作與自動變換車道功能。未來，Lucid 將以 NVIDIA DRIVE AV 平台強化技術藍圖，從 Gravity 與即將登場的中型車款上實現「L2++」等級的點對點輔助駕駛，最終達成完全「心不在焉」的 L4 自主駕駛體驗。為此，Lucid 計畫在中型車系中整合雙 NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor 加速運算電腦，結合多感測架構（攝影機、雷達、光達）與具備冗餘設計的集中式 AI 平台，確保自動駕駛功能的安全性與可擴充性。

在製造層面，Lucid 也將導入 NVIDIA 工業 AI 平台，運用智慧機器人、預測性分析與即時製程優化，建構可重新配置的彈性產線並提升品質控管。同時，透過 Omniverse 數位孿生技術，團隊能在虛擬環境中模擬工廠布局與機械運作，縮短導入時程並強化安全性。此合作象徵 Lucid 不僅在電動車技術上持續突破，也在智慧製造領域邁入全新階段，為未來自動駕駛與產業轉型奠定重要基礎。

記者杜奕君／綜合報導

本季NBA選秀狀元「旗子哥」弗拉格（Cooper Flagg）又有超驚人美技演出！6日達拉斯獨行俠主場迎戰紐奧良鵜鶘來訪，近況低迷的獨行俠進行變陣，讓開季都以「控球後衛」角色出發，身高206公分的弗拉格重回熟悉的小前鋒位置，此戰他的表現也有所加溫，全場攻下20分、9籃板、3抄截、2阻攻，其中更有一次空中接力爆扣，直接讓追防的鵜鶘球員狼狽倒地，狀態可說相當亮眼。

開季前7戰都被擺在控球後衛位置出發，弗拉格今日在球隊變陣情況下，重回最熟悉的小前鋒位置，全場先發出賽35分2秒，19投8中拿下20分、9籃板、2助攻、3抄截、2阻攻。

其中弗拉格更在此戰又貢獻一次精彩爆扣美技，他在快攻時接獲隊友馬歇爾（Naji Marshall）空中接力傳球，弗拉格直接從左側雙手狠狠將球塞入籃框，力量之大甚至讓前來追防的鵜鶘208公分長人馬特科維奇（Karlo Matkovic）當場狼狽摔倒在地，弗拉格更是振奮怒吼，讓全場為這個美技動作陷入瘋狂。

只可惜弗拉格最後決勝期嘗試追平一擊失手，也讓球隊最終就以兩分飲恨吞敗，目前弗拉格場均能繳出14.4分、6.6籃板、2.8助攻、1.1抄截，獨行俠戰績則為2勝6敗，與鵜鶘同為西區墊底。

范姜彥豐曾在今年初上節目《同學來了》的「演藝圈完美老公誰來當」單元，當時節目中播放一段粿粿控訴他的影片，畫面中可見到，粿粿透露范姜私下其實脾氣很硬，雖然平常好的時候都很溫柔，但只要一吵架，就會變得很堅持己見，「他就會覺得說，他沒有錯他就不要道歉。」

接著，粿粿表示自己後來曾語重心長地跟范姜說，情侶吵架往往很多都是沒有對錯的。她更向對方分析，之所以會起爭執，其實代表兩個人都有錯，絕非單方面的問題。因此，粿粿提出無論對錯，雙方都應互相道歉的建議。因為她認為唯有如此，感情才會越來越好，「他後來才比較好，不然他以前是脾氣很硬，然後覺得自己只要沒錯就絕對不道歉的人。」

記者蔡紹堅／台北報導

陸配錢麗因鼓吹武統被廢止台灣身分，日前她開直播喊冤，強調自己只是「支持解放軍威懾台獨」，不等於支持武統。對此，陸委會副主委、發言人梁文傑表示，錢麗目前仍可長期居留，但若繼續相關言行，政府可能就不得不依法處理。

梁文傑6日在例行記者會上提到，政府是按照兩岸條例來依法行政，對每個個案都是審慎處理，關於錢麗的案子要再次聲明，由於錢麗原先是「定居」狀態，被撤銷「定居」就變成是「長期居留」的狀態。

梁文傑指出，若錢麗繼續相關言行的話，那她的長期居留狀態，政府可能就不得不依法處理。

梁文傑強調，他們希望每位陸配朋友來到台灣，都能安居樂業，但如果對台灣社會的秩序或是國家安定造成影響的話，都不是他們所樂見的。

梁文傑坦言，陸委會、移民署收到無數針對錢麗的檢舉函，只要有人檢舉，他們就必須要回應民眾。

另外，陸配網紅「灣灣小月」日前在台北捷運上拍片，與另一名乘客爆發激烈口角，她還大罵對方是「青鳥」。對此，梁文傑表示，他知道這一位人物，相關機關也都在注意，個案的言行都會去看，所以現在還沒有辦法給出明確答案，要審查過後才會知道。

以技術熱情與設計美學為核心的德國改裝品牌 ABT Sportsline，近日正式發表針對最新世代 Audi SQ5 所打造的專屬升級方案。透過動力強化與外觀套件的雙重改造，ABT 讓這款性能 SUV 展現更具侵略性與辨識度的風格，進一步凸顯其運動化本質。

在標準狀態下，Audi SQ5 已以出色的動力表現與精緻質感成為同級距中最受歡迎的車型之一。此次 ABT 所推出的 Power S 動力升級套件，為 3.0 TFSI V6 渦輪增壓引擎換上專屬 ECU 程式，使輸出自原廠的 270 kW（367 hp）與 550 Nm，一舉提升至 324 kW（440 hp）與 600 Nm。為了配合輸出提升，ABT 為 SQ5 配備專屬懸吊彈簧，可將車身高度降低最多 45 mm，進一步提升重心穩定性與過彎靈活度。

外觀部分則採用全新 22 吋 ABT EVO 鋁圈（亮黑塗裝），搭配 255/35 ZR22 配胎，營造更具氣勢的路面姿態。針對配有氣壓懸吊的車型，ABT 亦提供不含懸吊套件的版本，滿足不同車主需求。車艙內部同樣融入專屬細節，包含印有品牌標誌的腳踏墊與高質感門檻照明飾板，營造出更具完整度的客製氛圍。

動力之外，ABT 也藉由一系列空力與排氣設計，讓外觀更具戰鬥氣息。全車換上啞黑不鏽鋼四出排氣尾管（直徑達 102 mm），搭配前下擾流、後下分流器與後擾流尾翼等專屬空力套件，使整體線條更為銳利。這些設計不僅提升辨識度，也進一步彰顯 ABT 一貫的賽車風格傳承。

整體而言，ABT 透過此次升級方案，成功為 Audi SQ5 注入更濃烈的運動氣息與品牌專屬識別。無論是動力輸出、操控體驗或外觀細節，皆充分展現德系改裝品牌在性能調校上的精準與美學兼備。對於重視駕馭樂趣與個性化風格的 SQ5 車主而言，這套 ABT 套件不僅是一項性能升級，更是彰顯態度與品味的最佳詮釋。

沙地阿拉伯利雅德2025年11月7日 /美通社/ — 全球工業界的目光聚焦於沙地阿拉伯首都利雅德，該市正籌備於 2025 年 12 月 1 日至3日舉辦首屆「沙地阿拉伯工業轉型展覽會」(Industrial Transformation Saudi Arabia)。該活動由工業與礦產資源部主辦，並與德國 Deutsche Messe AG 以及利雅得展覽有限公司 (Riyadh Exhibitions Company Ltd.) 合作舉辦。

2025 年沙地阿拉伯工業轉型展覽會 (Industrial Transformation Saudi Arabia 2025) 匯聚環球業界領袖，促進交流、激發創新，共同引領沙地阿拉伯的工業轉型進程。展期為 12 月 1 日至 3 日本次展覽會延續了一場始於 1947 年德國漢諾威 (Hannover) 的全球旅程——當時全球最負盛名的工業博覽會首屆盛會在此揭幕。此後，它已發展成為匯聚全球工業領袖與創新者的國際平台，致力展示自動化、人工智能、能源及先進製造領域的最新科技與轉型成果。

從一切的起點漢諾威，到土耳其，再到主辦亞洲版活動的中國，「工業轉型」的旅程持續跨越各大洲——如今已抵達沙地阿拉伯王國，此地即將成為中東地區全球工業轉型的新樞紐。這項擴張強調了王國在塑造工業未來的角色，採用第四次工業革命技術，並鞏固其作為全球創新和工業知識中心的地位。

展覽會的沙地阿拉伯版本作為該國邁向智慧產業進程中的戰略里程碑，匯聚了本地與國際企業、專家及投資者，在促進合作與戰略夥伴關係的動態環境中展開交流。展覽會同時彰顯工業與礦產資源部在拓展國家工業基礎、提升本土化內容及供應鏈在地化方面的成就——所有這些舉措均與《Saudi Vision 2030》目標相契合，該願景致力於構建整合且可持續發展的工業經濟體系。

沙地阿拉伯工業轉型展覽會正成為一座橋樑，連結德國深厚的工業專業知識與沙國前瞻性的雄心——致力打造未來的工業體系。從定義歐洲精密與品質的工廠，到今日遍佈沙地阿拉伯的大型工程項目，專業科技與創新的交匯印證了工業的未來正在沙地阿拉伯逐步成形。

隨著 2025 年 12 月展覽開幕日漸臨近，全球工業界正熱切期待利雅得將在先進工業轉型與智能製造領域展現的成果——這將再次印證沙地阿拉伯王國作為世界級工業創新樞紐的地位，以及其在塑造全球工業未來進程中扮演關鍵夥伴的角色。

近期管線亮點

自上次財報發布以來的重要產品進展包括：

腫瘤領域管線

Zocilurtatug Pelitecan (zoci, DLL3 ADC)（前稱ZL-1310）:

2025年10月，再鼎醫藥啟動了zocilurtatug pelitecan單藥治療二線及以上廣泛期小細胞肺癌（ES-SCLC）的全球注冊性研究。2025年10月，再鼎醫藥在美國癌症研究協會-美國國家癌症研究所-歐洲癌症研究與治療組織（AACR-NCI-EORTC）主辦的國際會議上公布了1期臨床研究數據更新：在二線廣泛期小細胞肺癌治療中，1.6mg/kg劑量組患者最佳總體緩解率為68%。所有劑量組和所有治療線數的患者中位緩解持續時間（DoR）預計為6.1個月，作為單藥療法，這對於重度經治且難治的患者群體而言極為令人鼓舞。在腦轉移患者中也觀察到了具有臨床意義的抗腫瘤活性，其中未經治療的腦轉移患者緩解率為80%。1.6mg/kg劑量組顯示出耐受性良好的安全性，≥3級治療相關不良事件發生率為13%，未發生≥2級的間質性肺病，且未出現停藥。綜上，這些結果強化了zoci的同類最佳潛力，並支持啟動全球注冊性研究。

腫瘤電場治療（TTFields）：2025年8月，再鼎醫藥宣布，基於3期PANOVA-3研究的陽性結果，中國國家藥品監督管理局（NMPA）授予腫瘤電場治療用於胰腺癌患者的創新醫療器械認定。我們計劃於2025年第四季度在中國遞交上市許可申請。貝瑪妥珠單抗（FGFR2b）：2025年11月，再鼎醫藥合作伙伴安進宣布，停止貝瑪妥珠單抗聯合化療及納武利尤單抗用於一線胃癌患者治療的1b/3期FORTITUDE-102研究。

免疫領域管線

ZL-1503 (IL-13/IL-31R)：2025年11月，再鼎醫藥啟動了一項全球1/1b期研究，旨在評估ZL-1503在健康志願者及中重度特應性皮炎受試者中的安全性、耐受性和藥代動力學特性。艾加莫德（FcRn）：

干燥綜合征：2025年9月，再鼎醫藥在大中華區（中國大陸（內地）、香港、澳門和台灣地區的統稱）加入了艾加莫德預充式皮下注射治療干燥綜合征的注冊性研究UNITY。血清陰性gMG: 2025年8月，再鼎醫藥合作伙伴argenx公布了衛偉迦用於乙酰膽鹼受體抗體血清陰性gMG患者的3期關鍵性臨床研究ADAPT-SERON的主要結果。研究達到了主要終點（p=0.0068），這是首個在所有三種亞型——MuSK+、LRP4+和三重血清陰性中，疾病活動度顯示出具有臨床意義改善的全球3期研究。再鼎醫藥在大中華區參與了這項全球3期研究，基於此有望在中國遞交上市許可申請。

呫諾美林–曲司氯銨（或 KarXT）（M1/M4型毒蕈鹼乙酰膽鹼受體激動劑）：2025年9月，《中國精神分裂症防治指南（2025版）》正式發布，KarXT首次被納入指南，這也是KarXT在全球被納入的首個國家級指南。該指南強調了KarXT在三大症狀領域（陽性症狀、陰性症狀和認知症狀）的廣泛有效性及其獨特的安全性，有助於實現長期依從性和功能恢復。2025年1月，中國國家藥品監督管理局受理了KarXT用於治療精神分裂症的新藥上市申請。Povetacicept：2025年9月，美國食品藥品監督管理局（FDA）授予povetacicept突破性療法認定，用於治療IgA腎病。隨後，FDA還授予了povetacicept用於此適應證的生物制品許可申請（BLA）提交的滾動審評。Vertex已經完成了3期研究的全部患者入組，其中包括有望在美國獲得加速批准的中期分析部分。再鼎醫藥在大中華區參與了其用於治療IgA腎病患者的全球3期RAINIER研究。

2025年第三季度財務業績

2025 年第三季度產品收入淨額為1.154億美元，2024年同期為1.018億美元，同比增長13%，按固定匯率（CER）計算同比增長14%。這一增長主要是由紐再樂和鼎優樂銷售額增長所驅動，部分被則樂銷量放緩所抵銷。

衛偉迦和衛力迦： 2025年第三季度產品收入淨額為2,770萬美元，其中包括在中國國家醫保藥品目錄談判前對衛力迦進行主動價格調整後減少的240萬美元，2025年第二季度為2,650萬美元，銷售環比增長4.6%。這一增長主要是由於治療時間的延長和市場滲透率的提升。則樂：2025年第三季度產品收入淨額為4,240萬美元，2024年同期為4,820萬美元。銷售放緩是由於 PARP抑制劑類產品競爭態勢的變化。鼎優樂：於2024年第四季度上市，2025年第三季度產品收入淨額為640萬美元。紐再樂： 2025年第三季度產品收入淨額為1,540萬美元，2024年同期為1,000萬美元。這一增長是由於紐再樂市場覆蓋范圍的擴大和滲透率的提升。

2025年第三季度的研發開支為4,790萬美元，2024年同期為6,600萬美元。這一下降主要是由於與預付款和裡程碑付款相關的許可費用減少。2025年第三季度的銷售、一般及行政開支為7,010萬美元，2024年同期為6,720萬美元。這一增長主要是由於支持紐再樂和衛偉迦增長的一般銷售費用的增加，部分被與則樂相關的銷售費用減少所抵銷。2025年第三季度的經營虧損為4,880萬美元，經調整後扣除包括折舊、攤銷和以股份為基礎的報酬在內的特定非現金支出後為虧損2,800萬美元。本新聞稿末尾附有經營虧損（美國公認會計准則）和調整後的經營虧損（非美國公認會計准則）的對比。2025年第三季度的虧損淨額為3,600萬美元，歸屬於股東的每股普通股虧損為0.03美元（每份美國存托股份（ADS）虧損為0.33美元），2024年同期虧損淨額為4,170萬美元，每股普通股虧損0.04美元（每份ADS虧損為0.42美元）。虧損淨額減少主要是由於產品收入的增長和運營開支的下降。截至2025年9月30日，現金及現金等價物、短期投資和流動受限制現金總計為8.172億美元，截至2025年6月30日為8.323億美元。

基隆八斗子籍「立發368號」漁船昨晚11時40分將救起的3名船員載返基隆八斗子漁港，暫時安置在漁船上。（記者林嘉東翻攝）

基隆八斗子籍「立發168號」漁船昨天在富貴角北方海域捕撈大蝦時翻覆，3名船員獲救，深夜被「立發368號」漁船載返八斗子漁港。搭救3人的嚴姓船長說，依獲救船員的說法，「立發168號」作業時海象惡劣，船尾被突來大浪打破，船隻進水沉沒翻覆；沉船前，胡姓船長跑回船艙內拿東西就沒再出來，可能與其他失聯的2名船員受困船艙內。

基隆區漁會理事長簡建輝在「立發368號」漁船返抵八斗子漁港後，慰問「立發168號」船東與「立發368號」嚴姓船長，希望搜救單位趕在鳳凰颱風襲台前，今天上午調派潛水人員打撈，企盼有奇蹟出現。

海巡署第二岸巡隊昨天午後接獲基隆漁業電台通報，八斗子籍漁船「立發168號」下午近1時許在富貴角北方24浬海域翻覆，船上包括除了船長，還有3名中國籍漁工與2名印尼籍漁工；「立發168號」翻覆半小時後，在附近作業的拖網漁船「立發368號」漁船救起落海2名中國籍船員與1名印尼籍船員，船長胡長友、中國籍船員俞趙、印尼籍阿谷斯失聯，生死未卜。

基隆區漁會理事長簡建輝說，「立發168號」漁船到富貴角海域捕大蝦，他獲知漁船沉船後，打給嚴姓船東的兒子、「立發368號」嚴姓船長，才知他兒子在附近作業，已經救起落海的3名船員，胡姓船長與2名船員仍失聯。

「立發368號」漁船深夜11時40分將獲救3名船員載返八斗子漁港，暫時安置在「立發368號」漁船上。嚴姓船長說，根據獲救船員說，「立發168號」作業時海象惡劣，船尾被風浪打破，船隻進水沉沒；沉船前，獲救船員目擊胡姓船長跑回船艙內拿東西，接著又一個大浪打來，船就沉了，沒看到船長逃出來，其餘2名失聯的船員可能也跟船長一樣受困在船艙內，沒能及時逃出來。

title: 小草怎看？太子集團工程師3萬元交保 四叉貓一查發現是「柯蔥粉」

content_text:
檢調追查太子集團在台資金流向，4日兵分多路搜索相關據點，查扣不法所得逾45億元，拘提20多名集團核心成員，目前集團在台操盤手王昱棠、二把手辜淑雯、總務長李守禮、高級幹部邱子恩羈押禁見，其他人則是交保。網紅「四叉貓」劉宇6日晚間神出交保人員中暗藏「柯蔥粉」，引發熱議。

美國司法部與我國財政部聯手，上月破獲以太子集團為首的超大型跨國詐騙組織，我國檢方進一步追查集團在台資產，4日動員警調人員兵分47路大搜索，拘提台灣主嫌王昱棠在內等25名集團成員。經過偵訊，5日有10名涉犯洗錢、賭博及詐欺等罪的成員率先以3萬至20萬元不等獲交保。

其中，以3萬元交保的太子集團工程師楊濱維，四叉貓肉搜到他的臉書，發現他過去曾轉發過柯文哲YT談金融政策的影片，還有追蹤黃國昌，臉書的自介工作經歷還高調放上「在天旭國際（太子集團在台發展博弈事業核心公司，租下台北101大樓兩層辦公室發展線上博弈）擔任Lead Software Engineer（首席軟體工程師）」。

四叉貓開酸，「太子集團將資金挹注在台灣的天旭公司，天旭工程師楊濱維3萬元交保，翻開楊濱維的臉書可以看到他支持柯文哲、追蹤黃國昌，我現在能不能喊『不全是小草，但總是小草』呢？不行的話我晚點再問……」。

網友紛紛留言，「重點在抖音裡面都把這個問題洗成是民進黨包庇」、「以草的定義，肯定清清白白啦！」、「完蛋，如果真的是小草，我開始會懷疑他進詐騙集團公司工作，是不是被騙的，畢竟是真的好騙」、「什麼樣的人品吸引什麼樣的支持者」、「要跟小草們說，原來詐騙集團就在你們自己人身邊啊」。

title: 強闖年金反改革！國民黨PO文稱為「培養人才」 神邏輯遭網灌爆

content_text:
年金改革戰火延燒，司委會6日與教育文化委員會聯席審查「公立學校教職員退休資遣撫卹條例部分條文修正草案」，藍白再度挾人數優勢強行將攸關終止退休所得替代率遞減、退休所得隨在職人員調薪計算、退休所得隨消費者物價指數（CPI）累計成長率調整等條文，全數保留送交朝野黨團協商。晚間，國民黨在社群宣稱此舉是為了讓公教有保障，絕非停止改革，結果遭大批網友灌爆。

國民黨官方臉書6日晚間發文，「教育與公共服務，是國家的根基，是不可動搖的支柱。如果教育倒塌、制度崩壞，國家必將陷入混亂這是最基本、最不容忽視的事實。民進黨一直說『年改不能半途而廢』，但我們要提醒大家，專業不是消耗品，不能隨意消耗。國民黨提出『停止繼續調降公教年金所得替代率』，絕不是要停止改革！而是因為過去民進黨八年的改革，到底帶來了什麼？公教不安、勞工不滿、房價高漲、物價飆升、能源混亂、軍備支出增加這些現實，誰都看得到！」

國民黨稱：「如果年金制度無法永續、人才不敢留下，再多的預算、再多的F-16V，都守不住台灣！真正守護台灣，應該從穩固的制度開始，從尊重專業開始。培養出專業人才，才是從根本改變國家防衛能力的真正辦法！」

不過底下湧入大批網友砲轟，「退休的公教耶？有沒有搞錯啊！所以現在年輕人為生活打拚都白做的就是了？」、「重點是現職公教人員薪資福利調升！退休人員月休30天領5萬多，不夠嗎！退休是好好休息維持身心平衡健康，不是給你投資炒房炒股債留子孫！」、「真要對公教好，提升公教，請修法提高現職人員的福利，而不是修法畫退休福利大餅，這樣只會吸收更多過一天算一天，只想等退休的人」、「在職的公教比較慘吧！事情給年輕人做，錢給退休的領！」、「問題是現在的年金改革是獨厚退休人員，不是現職的公教人員啊！國民黨現在是要世代對立嗎？」、「培養優秀人才是退休後才培養的？要不要看看你們在說三小？」

衛福部研擬健保補充保費三大改革，如租金、利息、股利，擬採年度結算繳納，造成社會反彈。行政院長卓榮泰已指示暫緩具爭議規劃，加強社會溝通，尋求更周全、具共識的改革方式。民進黨立委王義川6日晚間在社群發文說，健保費調漲前要先解決沒繳過健保費的中國人來台依親爽用健保的事，引發熱議。

王義川6日晚間在Threads發文說：「健保費要調漲，補充保費要調漲？我認為先解決一件事，為什麼沒繳過健保費的中國人來台依親、中國老人來台依親，就可以用台灣健保？哪有這種道理，亂七八糟。這件事沒解決，什麼都不用談！」

貼文一出，馬上吸引上萬人按讚，「我也同意義川委員的想法，中國籍配偶的父母子女依親，憑什麼可以使用健保？中國籍配偶的家屬為台灣付出或貢獻過什麼嗎？」、「依親的為什麼不用繳補充保費？ 衛福部你沒講清楚，我就每天罵你」、「我是覺得中配依親的老人可以使用健保，前提是得先繳清他現在年紀之前沒有繳的健保費」、「支持取消依親就能用健保，台灣人民一出生就要繳健保，憑什麼沒付過錢的人，卻能使用呢」。

countries: 台灣 中國 中華民國 中華人民共和國

content_text:
網紅「館長」陳之漢上月展開第三度中國行，這趟訪中行，館長仍脫口說出各種捧中貶台言論，造訪「賴氏宗親會」，還聲稱要替總統賴清德「尋根」，引發熱議。退將、桃園市議員于北辰忍不住砲轟，館長不用在那邊「尋根」，既然這麼愛中華人民共和國，就把中華民國護照剪掉，直接在那邊「生根」！

于北辰近日上政論節目《台灣最前線》，談到館長又去中國賣力舔共的事，直言館長之所以能夠在中國話唬爛，是因為他有台灣護照、有台灣的身分證，對中共來說有統戰價值，一旦館長沒有了台灣身分，對北京而言根本是一文不值，「你認為中國人不知道他在騙人嗎？可是為什麼不敢說，有統戰價值嘛！中國最厲害的地方就是統戰不花一兵一卒，不花一槍一彈，用台灣的力量打台灣！用台灣的聲量壓垮台灣！這就叫統戰，現在館長正在做這些事啊。」

于北辰還酸，館長在台灣直播髒話連篇，這種風格已經成為其特色，但到中國人秒變「溫文儒雅」，館長口口聲聲稱中國其實很自由，但事實連公開直播罵髒話的自由都沒有，他實在想不到館長在中國有什麼賣點。

于北辰更痛批，館長在台灣走紅，在台灣賺得第一桶金，現在在台灣混不好就跑去中國罵這塊土地上曾經支持過自己的人，「你要去尋根溯源，我都尊重，但是請你站著去，不要跪著去！你在台灣賺錢，被台灣人捧紅，現在到中國去反過來罵台灣人，如果今天沒有台灣人捧你、支持你，你在中國算個什麼？如果你覺得中國的根，你的根這麼重要，很簡單，中華民國護照剪掉！直接申請中華人民共和國的護照，讓你落葉歸根！」
