【新唐人北京時間2025年12月19日訊】你可能想不到，一條普通的汽車輪胎，背後可能踩著別人的血汗。今天（19日），美國在港口直接按下「暫停鍵」，攔下了一批中資輪胎，理由是，涉嫌強迫勞動。
法新社報導，美國海關與邊境保護局（CBP）宣布，對一家位於塞爾維亞的中資輪胎廠發布「暫扣令」，相關產品一律不得進入美國市場。被點名的企業，是中國玲瓏輪胎在塞爾維亞北部的工廠，所有從這裡生產的輪胎，抵達美國港口後都會被直接扣下。
美國海關表示，這一決定並非空穴來風，而是基於調查和資料審查，包括工人證詞、文件、照片、非政府組織報告、媒體調查以及學術研究，最終認定該工廠涉及強迫勞動。
玲瓏輪胎於2024年9月在塞爾維亞工廠啟動量產，這是它在歐洲的第一座工廠，也是北京重點支持的巴爾幹投資項目之一。
但從建設階段開始，爭議就不斷。2021年，數百名越南工人因疑似被以不實手段招募而罷工；2024年2月，塞爾維亞民間團體又通報，有14名印度工人疑似處於被強迫勞動狀態。
面對質疑，塞爾維亞政府官員選擇低調迴避，玲瓏輪胎則撇清責任，稱這些工人是由外包商僱用。不過，歐洲議會已公開要求調查越南工人被販運、被迫勞動的問題。
美國國務院在2025年《人口販運問題報告》中也點名指出，塞爾維亞政府對這家工廠的相關調查「進展有限」。如今，美國率先封殺進口，也讓這起爭議迅速引發國際關注。

【新唐人北京時間2025年12月19日訊】今日焦點：美最大對台軍售，8項武器包含哪些奧秘？台外交部長秘訪美，川普釋強力信號，粉碎疑美論？ 《維尼的終局》震撼上映，中共副國級以上別看！
大家好，歡迎收看《新聞大家談》我是金石。今天是12月19日，週五。
本期節目的嘉賓是：《馬克時空》主持人馬克；資深政經分析師秦鵬；黑色幽默政治諷刺劇《維尼的終局》導演嚴真
【川普簽署行政令 對大麻重新分類】
週四（12月18日），川普总统签署了一项行政命令，指示司法部长帕姆·邦迪加快对大麻进行重新分类，以便允许其用于医学研究。下面，我們來連線華府記者張亮。張亮，您好張亮，請問這是怎麼回事，是在聯邦層級讓大麻合法嗎？
【川普發表全國講話 回顧政績 展望未來】
好的，另外，美國總統川普週三晚，向全國發表電視講話，回顧上任約11個月來的施政重點。可以和我們詳細介紹一下演講的主要議題嗎？
1. 秦鵬先生，我們看到川普在講話中，是描繪了一張非常樂觀的經濟圖景。不過，有很多人也表示，川普上任後，沒有太明顯的感覺到生活壓力、購買能力的好轉。您認為，川普接下來還需要在哪些方面用力，才能讓民眾有一個比較切身的感受？他又面臨哪些阻力呢？
【美宣布最大對台軍售 8項武器包含哪些奧秘？】
我們接著來關注美國史上最大規模對台軍售的消息。
台灣國防部週四宣布，美國同意8項、共計111億540萬美元的對台軍售，規模創下了歷來之最。
對此，台灣總統府表達誠摯的感謝，並強調此舉再次展現美國政府落實對台灣的安全承諾。中共則在當日表示「堅決反對，強烈譴責」。
這次美國對台軍售，除了金額巨大之外，軍售的內容也很有看點。軍售的8個項目包括：「海馬士遠程精準打擊系統續購」、「M109A7自走砲」、「反裝甲型無人機飛彈系統」、「台灣戰術網路（TTN）暨部隊覺知應用套件（TAK）」、「標槍反甲飛彈續購」、「拖式飛彈續購」、「AH-1W型直升機零附件」，以及「魚叉飛彈可修件檢修」。
其中最受關注的是，海馬士遠程打擊系統82輛，和M109A7自走砲60輛，這兩項武器被認為在遏阻中共入侵方面，將發揮重要的作用。
2. 馬克先生，你認為這次對台軍售的武器，有哪些特別值得圈點的地方？這些武器將會給台灣的防衛能力帶來哪些幫助？
【台外交部長秘訪美 川普釋強力支持台灣信號？】
我們看到，最近美國在國防安全方面的動作頻頻，先是發布了新版的《國家安全戰略》，本週參議院批准了價值9000多億的國防授權法案，之後又宣布了史上最大規模的對台軍售案。
而據路透社透露，在此次軍售案公布前，台灣外交部長林佳龍秘密到訪美國的華盛頓DC地區。林佳龍此行非常低調，到訪的具體議程外界不得而知。同一篇報導還透露，美國官員在川普第二任期的初始就告訴路透社，川普政府計劃在這一任期對台軍售規模，要超過其第一任期，作為威嚇中共的一部分。
3. 秦鵬先生，川普總統近來也受到一些質疑，主要質疑他由於要和北京談貿易協議，因此可能放軟了對中共的立場，包括在對台灣支持上。現在，這份對台軍售案宣布出來，是否可以看作是對這一質疑的反駁，並釋放堅定支持台灣的信號？
4. 馬克先生，您對這個問題怎麼看？ 有評論說，川普政府是用實際行動化解了所謂的「疑美論」，你認為川普對中共、對台灣，目前是一個什麼態度？
【台灣大力提升軍費 不對稱戰爭阻擊中共】
面對中共日益升高的威脅，台灣這邊，也在加緊增大在防衛上的投入。
台灣總統府發言人郭雅慧表示，台灣明年度的國防預算按照北約標準將達到GDP的3%以上，並有望在2030年前達到GDP的5%。
另外，賴清德政府日前還提出了一項稱作「強化防衛韌性及不對稱戰力特別預算」，高達4000億美元，涵蓋2026年-2033年這八年的時間。
與此同時，台灣持續推動國防改革，旨在將軍隊打造為更機動、更靈巧，並可以用相對便宜的武器，向敵人發動不對稱戰爭的部隊。
5. 馬克先生，您怎麼看台灣目前推行的國防改革和軍費提升？ 這些措施是不是也是對美國軍售的一種呼應和配合，即台美齊心協力、共同合作，來抵禦中共的入侵威脅？
【美最大對台軍售 中共跳腳 會後續報復？】
面對史上最大規模的對台軍售，中共方面反應強烈。中方外交部發言人郭嘉昆18日說，美方公然宣布巨額售台先進武器計劃，嚴重違反所謂「一個中國原則」和「中美三個聯合公報」云云。
6. 秦鵬先生，中共向來反對美國對台灣出售任何武器。而這次，軍售規模達到了史無前例的110億美元，這會不會引發中共更為激烈的反應，甚至是報復性措施？
【專訪導演嚴真：意外預言了《維尼的終局》】
歲末年初，很多人都期待著革新，當今，身在大陸的朋友們尤其關心世態的變化。然而，有這麼一部影片，似乎一步步預言了未來的走向，預告片一經播出，就吸引無數觀眾翹首企盼。
我的同事扶搖，稍早採訪了黑色幽默政治荒誕劇《維尼的終局》導演嚴真。一起來看看。

【新唐人北京時間2025年12月19日訊】在國際貿易戰的濃重陰影下，世界各國對外資的背景審查日趨嚴格。中資企業為規避背景審查及地緣政治風險，紛紛將企業總部遷往新加坡「洗星籍」，以隱藏其資本的真正來源。業內人士透露，今年中企諮詢「洗星籍」的數量增長約20%，而且這種情況呈現愈演愈烈的趨勢。
路透社報導，總部位於新加坡的「彥德國際顧問集團（InCorp Group）」，業務長期聚焦於協助亞太區9個地方企業遷移出海或進行業務擴張。該集團的執行長KG Tan 日前接受路透社采訪時透露，近期企業「洗產地」的需求不斷在增長，中資企業對遷往新加坡的興趣很大，眼下的趨勢是「增長的速度越來越快」。
KG Tan 表示，雖然目前並無官方統計數據能夠顯示出有多少中企在新加坡註冊，但今年向他所在公司提出相關諮詢的中資公司的數量，同比至少增長了15%至20%，顯示中企對遷移到新加坡的興趣「極為濃厚」。
報導提及，近期遷往新加坡的數據營運商DayOne，就是從中資企業萬國數據服務有限公司（GDS Holdings）分拆出來的。而據萬國數據官網介紹，該公司是中國的高性能數據中心開發商及運營商。
DayOne的執行長Jamie Khoo今年7月曾表示，該公司一直計劃與中國母公司分拆，因為兩家公司是在不同的監管體系下運作。
此外，因推出AI產品Manus而爆紅的北京蝴蝶效應科技公司（Butterfly Effect），以及由人工智慧驅動的化學合成公司ChemLex，現在都已經將總部遷往新加坡，而這兩家公司的官網都未提及其中國背景。
路透社的報導表示，中企「洗星籍」（Singapore washing）的熱潮，是在美中貿易戰升高的期間興起的。爲了避免因其中資背景引發疑慮或招致投資障礙，中資企業開始前仆後繼地前往新加坡設立總部，這股潮流覆蓋了從關鍵礦產到科技、生物技術等諸多領域。隨著美中貿易關係對立態勢不斷升高，各國對外資來源的審查趨於嚴格，中資企業「洗產地」的腳步也不斷加快。
報導援引馬來亞銀行（Maybank）的中國經濟學家鄭寧（Erica Tay）的分析表示，新加坡因其國際化、中立性而受到企業的重視，新加坡的文化環境對於中國企業及其員工而言也較容易適應。再加上新加坡擁有28項自由貿易協定，美國目前對新加坡商品也僅徵收10%的關稅，這對於希望規避美國高關稅以及繼續獲得關鍵美國技術的中企來說，都十分具有吸引力。
不過，近年來遷移到新加坡的外資企業涉入違法活動增加，這種情況也正在侵蝕新加坡的國際聲譽。
例如：總部位於新加坡的雲端資料服務企業Megaspeed，是2023年從一家中國遊戲公司分拆成立的，這家公司因涉嫌挪用受到限制的輝達AI芯片，正在被美國調查。
近期備受注目柬埔寨犯罪組織太子集團（Prince Group）的大規模洗錢案，也與設籍在新加坡的公司有關聯，這種情形也讓新加坡的國際聲譽受損。

【新唐人北京時間2025年12月20日訊】路透社報導，一名烏克蘭官員今天（19日）證實，基輔首次在地中海出手，使用空中無人機打擊了一艘屬於俄羅斯「影子艦隊」的油輪「肯迪爾號」（Qendil）。
這艘船當時處於空載狀態，事發海域為中立水域，距離烏克蘭本土超過2000公里，但仍遭到嚴重破壞。
航運追蹤網站數據顯示，格林尼治時間下午1點30分，油輪位於利比亞海岸附近。雖然烏方沒公布油輪遇襲的具體時間和坐標，但流出的視頻顯示，油輪甲板發生了小規模爆炸。路透社通過影像比對確認，這艘被擊中的確實是「肯迪爾號」。
近兩年，烏克蘭主要打擊俄羅斯境內的煉油廠和能源設施，但最近明顯擴大了範圍。此前，烏方已對黑海油輪和裡海鑽井平臺發動過襲擊，如今戰線直接拉到了地中海。
烏克蘭指出，這類油輪屬於所謂的「影子艦隊」，不受嚴格監管，專門幫助俄羅斯在西方制裁下繼續出口石油。這些石油收入，被認為是莫斯科繼續發動戰爭的重要資金來源。
「肯迪爾號」懸掛阿曼國旗，事發前正從印度錫卡（Sikka）港駛往俄羅斯波羅的海港口烏斯季-盧加（Ust Luga）。
印度是俄羅斯石油的重要買家之一，同時也面臨來自美國總統川普的壓力，要求減少採購俄油。
英國海事風險機構指出，這次襲擊說明烏克蘭正在明顯升級行動，利用空中無人系統，對俄羅斯受制裁的石油運輸網路進行更遠距離、更複雜的打擊。
烏方官員則透露，這次行動涉及「多階段部署」，但沒說明無人機如何抵達目標海域。
烏克蘭國家安全局過去就曾策劃高難度行動。今年6月，這家機構曾秘密將無人機送入俄羅斯境內，打擊遠離前線的空軍基地。
近幾個月，多艘曾靠泊俄羅斯港口的油輪接連發生神秘爆炸。烏克蘭既沒承認，也沒否認參與，但海事安全人士普遍懷疑與基輔有關。

【新唐人北京時間2025年12月19日訊】短影音平台TikTok今天宣布，已與3家投資者簽署協議，將成立新的TikTok美國合資公司。TikTok母公司字節跳動會繼續擁有TikTok演算法的智慧財產權，授權新合資公司使用，並向後者收取授權費。
據路透社，當地時間12月18日，TikTok執行長周受資向員工表示，字節跳動與3個主要投資者簽署了具有約束力的協議，將TikTok超過80%的美國資產出售給美國和全球投資者，以避免美國政府的禁令。
中國媒體第一財經報導，據周受資向員工發出的內部信，字節跳動、TikTok已與3家投資者簽署協議，並將成立新的TikTok美國合資公司，名為「TikTok美國數據安全合資有限責任公司」（TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC），將負責美國的數據保護、算法安全、內容審核和軟體保障等，以符合美國法律要求。
由字節跳動全資控股的「字節跳動TikTok美國公司」，將繼續負責電商、廣告、市場運營等商業活動，以及TikTok產品的全球互聯互通。
即TikTok未來在美國營運主要涉及兩個主體，就是「TikTok美國數據安全合資有限責任公司」及「字節跳動TikTok美國公司」。
關於核心演算法問題，報導表示，字節跳動會繼續擁有TikTok演算法的智慧財產權，授權新合資公司使用，並向後者收取授權費。電商、廣告、市場運營等商業活動是TikTok的主要收入來源，仍將由字節跳動全資控股的TikTok美國公司等實體負責。
新合資公司負責的數據、內容安全等業務為非營利性質，且運營成本很高。為保障合資公司營運，上述主體間會有商業上合理的收入分享安排。
據該內部信，與字節跳動、TikTok簽署協議的3家投資者包括甲骨文公司（Oracle）、銀湖（Silver Lake）及總部位於阿布達比的MGX。上述新投資者合計持有新合資公司45%的股份；字節跳動部分現有投資者及其關聯方持股30.1%，字節跳動將保留19.9%的股份。即在新合資公司中，字節跳動是最大單一股東，但美國投資者持有多數股權，並由新的7人董事會管理。
該內部信顯示，協議相關事宜將在不晚於2026年1月22日完成。
據財新網今天報導，上述交易結構保障了字節跳動和TikTok在美國的經濟利益，「字節跳動TikTok美國公司」保留廣告和電商等商業化業務，並為全球互聯互通提供產品和技術支持，這意味著TikTok美國公司將營運包括直播和電商等在內的創作內容。
報導表示，今年9月25日，美國總統川普簽署一份行政命令，要求TikTok的美國用戶數據必須存儲在由美國公司營運的雲端中，由受到美國信賴的安全合作夥伴嚴格監控軟體更新、算法和數據流動，使用美國用戶數據的推薦模型（包括演算法）必須由其重新訓練和監督。

【新唐人北京時間2025年12月20日訊】中共的電詐和活摘器官產業鏈，隨著「一帶一路」蔓延。非洲尼日利亞一個地下太平間發現上百具殘缺屍體。大陸網絡熱傳，中國人被「高薪」廣告騙到尼日利亞活摘器官。
據路透社等多家媒體報導，尼日利亞經過數周的祕密調查，破獲了一個規模龐大的器官販賣案。
該國伊莫州警察局12月8日表示，他們接到舉報稱，恩戈爾奧克帕拉一家酒店和私人太平間附近發生一系列綁架事件。警方經過調查後確認，一個名叫奧帕勞戈（Stanley Oparaugo）的男子，是該犯罪網絡的嫌疑頭目，目前在逃，警方正在通緝他。
奧帕勞戈擁有位於伊希特奧克韋的傑西貝斯特酒店，以及附近名為烏格武迪的太平間。
警方稱，受害者被誘騙到酒店後遭到搶劫和綁架，其家人還被迫支付贖金。但一些支付了贖金的人再也沒能見到他們的親人。被綁架的受害者被從酒店帶到太平間裡殺害，器官被摘取出售。
警方突襲太平間，發現衛生條件極差，裡面有一百多具腐爛和殘缺的屍體。
尼日利亞的官方聲明中，沒有提到跨國犯罪。
不過，這個犯罪集團的手法，與東南亞的中國電詐園極其相似。此前已有消息顯示，中共的電詐產業正沿著「一帶一路」擴張，巴基斯坦、阿聯酋、非洲都已經有電詐團夥活動。
近日大陸社交媒體熱傳，尼日利亞剛剛破獲的活摘器官案中，有中國人受害。
網傳消息說，該犯罪團夥專門僞造「高薪廣告」，欺騙中國年輕人到尼日利亞「應聘」。他們先將「應聘者」安排在酒店，然後帶到太平間活摘器官，將器官供應給亞洲市場。
目前該消息真假不明。但許多網民認為有相當高的可信度，因為活摘產業鏈涉及血液配型、尋找買家、器官摘取和運輸、移植手術等一系列複雜的環節，這種涉及逾百具屍體的「產業」規模，不是普通犯罪團夥能夠完成，也不是這種非洲國家的醫療系統所能承擔。
根據公開資料，尼日利亞是與中共簽署「一帶一路」協議的國家。

【新唐人北京時間2025年12月19日訊】12月18日網上視頻顯示，柬埔寨軍隊似乎擊落了了一架由以色列製造的 Dominator XP 無人機。
這款無人機是由以色列公司開發的中空長航時無人機，是在鑽石飛機工業公司的 DA42民用雙發螺旋槳飛機的基礎上改裝的。主要是用於偵察、監視和情報收集。可以裝備多種傳感器，比如說紅外傳感器、合成孔徑雷達、海事雷達等等，可以根據具體的任務需求進行配置。飛行時長超過 20 小時，最大載荷373 公斤，最大飛行高度8千米。泰國和墨西哥都引進了這款無人機，目前泰國總共有三架無人機，每架無人機的造價900萬美元。
現場畫面顯示，該無人機是在夜間被柬埔寨軍隊擊落，無人機殘骸在地上燃起熊熊大火。柬埔寨其實沒有太多像樣的防空系統，陸軍使用了一些便攜式防空系統，比如說從中國引進的前衛二型和前衛三型防空導彈，它們的射高在3公里之內，射程大概5至6公里，對低空飛行無人機是沒有問題的，但是在夜間想要偵測和擊落大型無人機還有些困難。
其實柬埔寨還引進了中共的中程地對空導彈KS1，是中共國產紅旗-12的出口版本。那凱山一型的射程就可以達到70公里，射高超過20公里，用來攔截以色列的無人機應該是沒有問題的。在2023年的9月份，柬埔寨軍隊才正式接收了從中國交付的凱山一型防空系統。到2025年，我們看到一些零星的報道說，柬埔寨陸軍有部署該防空系統。目前不太清楚這架以色列無人機是如何被擊落的，但對於柬埔寨來說，這確實是為數不多的防空勝利。
在12月18日下午2:00至3:00，泰國使用 F-16 戰鬥機對柬埔寨的軍事目標發動空襲，空襲地點位於柬埔寨邊境班迭棉吉省的一個軍事基地和武器庫。當地的村民有拍攝到大量相關視頻，基本都是襲擊之後拍攝的，可以看到一座武器倉庫被擊中，燃起滾滾濃煙。
事發地點是在班迭棉吉省波貝市附近。波貝市是連接泰國和柬埔寨重要的陸地口岸。當地人口比較密集。所以當地的民眾拍攝了大量的現場畫面。
而在另外一個視頻中顯示，當天泰國的 F-16 戰鬥機向位於波貝市市中心的一處賭場建築群投下兩枚炸彈。泰國軍方表示，該地點被柬埔寨軍隊用作部隊的集結地和武器庫。
在12月17日的一段視頻中，泰國軍方使用自主研發的 DTI-2 型火箭對柬埔寨柏威夏地區發射。這款火箭發射車是泰國自行研製，每枚火箭重65公斤，射程達到40公里。這是該型火箭的首次實戰。
在陸地上，泰國軍隊也不斷取得進展。12月18日最新視頻顯示，泰國軍隊奪得了柬埔寨的一個軍事陣地，在陣地上發現了中國製造的 QGZ-89 型重機槍 和一門 120 毫米 86 型迫擊炮 以及各類彈藥。
而在12月17日的一個視頻中顯示，泰國軍隊控制了素林府附近的達桂寺遺址，迫使柬埔寨軍隊撤退。7月份發生日衝突以來，該歷史遺蹟一直在爭奪之中。雖然雙方在7月29日達成停火協議，但柬埔寨軍隊隨後在寺廟建築群內建立了據點。視頻中，泰國士兵非常激動，士氣高漲。
在12月16日的一段視頻中，泰國皇家陸軍發布勝利戰報，宣布攻占了柬埔寨所屬的占安馬地區。在當地時間下午6:00，泰國陸軍在該地區升起國旗，並演唱國歌。
在這次戰爭中，我們經常看到一個畫面，就是泰國的部隊向邊境地區的柬埔寨賭場大樓開火。我們現在看到的視頻中正是如此，賭場大樓被命中後燃起滾滾濃煙。說句實話，這看起來不像是賭場，而像是詐騙園區，可以看到該園區周圍有高聳的圍牆，形成一個封閉空間。柬埔寨軍方頻繁使用這些賭場發射炮彈或者無人機，從中也可以看出柬埔寨政府和詐騙集團其實有著非常緊密的合作關係。
我們再來看一下柬埔寨方面的動向，視頻中的柬埔寨士兵在掩體中對外發起反擊，柬埔寨士兵都不穿鞋，光著腳作戰。畫面中出現了由中國製造的 80 毫米 PF-89 反坦克炮，北方工業生產的 81 式突擊步槍 等等。
另外一段夜間畫面顯示，柬埔寨軍隊在不斷向泰國發射火箭彈，這應該是一輛由捷克生產的 RM-70 火箭發射車。該視頻應該是拍攝於發射車的車內，我們可以清晰地聽到火箭彈發射划過夜空的聲音。
近日據說是泰國電視台公布畫面，顯示，之前柬埔寨軍隊在中國大陸某地與中國教官進行訓練。在這段視頻中出現的武器裝備幾乎全部都是解放軍的標準裝備，比如說95式自動步槍，5.8毫米口徑，整體短小緊湊。視頻中的士兵在草地中瞄準射擊，或者是近距離持槍展示，都是這款武器的型號。他們佩戴的頭盔是球形防彈頭盔，也是中國陸軍的標準裝備。
而在另外一段視頻中，是柬埔寨軍隊和中國軍隊進行聯合演習。這次演習應該發生在今年5月份，中柬軍隊使用中國製造的火炮進行實彈射擊。柬埔寨指揮官表示，我們很榮幸從這些演習中學習經驗和科技，雙方都利用這次機會加深了對彼此武器和技術的理解。視頻中的柬埔寨士兵正在操作各種輕武器，從迫擊炮、高射炮到機槍。視頻的最後也出現了中方士兵的採訪。
泰國和柬埔寨都是東南亞信仰佛教的國家，在這次戰爭中出現了非常奇特的現象。柬埔寨的一些法師，對泰國將領進行奇奇怪怪的施法，而柬埔寨的一些將軍在出征的時候，也要跑到僧侶面前，讓僧侶給他們施法，這種場景屬實不常見。
目前來看，泰國和柬埔寨的戰爭沒有停火的跡象。在12月17日，泰國提出了停火的三個條件，相對來說都比較苛刻。第一條，要求柬埔寨立即無條件單方面停火。第二條，停火必須是真實而持續的，之後不再發生任何襲擊。第三，柬埔寨必須在清除地雷方面表示出誠意。
目前看起來，這三個停火條件是比較強硬的，柬埔寨並沒有接受的跡象。而在12月18日，中國外交部亞洲事務特使抵達柬埔寨和泰國，試圖調停這次邊境衝突。其實泰國和柬埔寨與中共關係都比較友好，而柬埔寨更加依賴於中共，所有的軍事裝備幾乎都是從中共進口，而國內的經濟也被大量的華人所把持，主要以詐騙園區的經營為主。像在柬埔寨的重要港口西哈努克港附近，都是由中國人經營的詐騙基地。比較著名的有太子集團的陳志，他就和中國的情報部門有著非常緊密的合作。柬埔寨政府最近一段時間的各種行動，恐怕背後似乎都有中共情報部門運作的影子。中國有足夠的經濟和軍事影響力，來左右柬埔寨政府的重大決定。
目前看起來，泰國和柬埔寨的軍事衝突維持在一個較低的烈度，泰國在控制邊境的多處軍事據點之後，恐怕不會加大地面攻勢。這場戰爭到底要如何收尾呢，我們將持續關注。

【新唐人北京時間2025年12月19日訊】崇尚「假惡鬥」的中共將中國變成了「造假大國」。中共官媒日前報導，多項國家級大學生賽事的獎項就在網上明碼標準出售，參賽者只需付錢就可確保拿獎。
報導稱，微信公號「扁魚學社」公開發文，聲稱可以「幫助」大學生在國創賽、挑戰盃、三創賽等大學生全國賽事中獲獎，適合「需要用獎項申請免試攻讀研究所的同學」，價格1.5萬元（人民幣，下同）起。
微信公號「雲帆創賽」也宣稱，針對「想要拿獎但沒有隊友、沒有項目、沒有時間的同學」，他們的團隊可提供收費的「協議式保獎服務」。
許多中介機構將國家級和省級的大學生賽事做成了「生意」，從最初的提供輔導服務，演變成了公開收錢賣獎。根據賽事級別和服務內容的不同，這些機構收費在數千到上萬元不等。
國家級競賽獎項是很多大學生申請獎學金以及研究生免試資格的重要加分項，這讓學生有動力「花錢買獎」。一些大學將學生競賽獲獎數量作為院系考核、教師評優的指標之一，許多教師和學校也因此「睜一隻眼閉一隻眼」。
中共治下教育腐敗問題無處不在。一名大學老師說，一些正規的中介機構也在幫學生弄虛作假、鑽規則漏洞，通過掛名、搭便車、甚至賄賂賽事評委等方式運作，「許多比賽都成了拚資源的遊戲」。
除了大學生賽事，最近多個省份的書法大賽也暴露出各種抄襲和造假醜聞。中國學術界和文學界抄襲現象更是司空見慣。
近日深圳舉辦的所謂「國際模特大賽」也鬧出一場輿論風波，被懷疑「冠軍內定」或者「花錢買獎」。這場大賽的廣州女子組賽事，由一名體態豐腴的老年女子奪冠，引來輿論群嘲。主辦方聲稱「發錯獎」。僅僅幾天之後，其女子組全國賽事重蹈覆轍，也由一名老年女性「奪冠」。【相關報導：中國女模賽廣東冠軍剛挨轟 全國冠軍又重蹈覆轍】

▲日本元氣村集團會長神成裕（左）與樂活集團代表19日簽署合作意向書（MOU），深化台日長期照顧交流合作。（記者林東良翻攝，下同）

記者林東良／台南報導

日本元氣村集團創辦人、會長神成裕本週再度來台，19日與台灣善合集團董事長葉晉良一同造訪台南樂活集團，雙方就長期照顧實務經驗與未來合作方向進行深入交流，並正式簽署合作意向書（MOU），宣告台日長期照顧合作關係邁入新階段。

樂活集團指出，雙方歷經多次實地參訪與交流，在長期照顧理念與實務操作上建立高度共識。未來將結合日本成熟的社區型長照經驗與台灣在地服務能量，針對長照服務模式、經營管理、人才培育及智慧照護等面向持續交流，期盼為台灣高齡社會發展提供更多可行且貼近生活的實務解方。

日本元氣村集團長期深耕社區型長期照顧，強調讓照顧融入日常生活，協助長輩在熟悉的社區環境中獲得支持；樂活集團則多年來扎根台南，持續建構符合地方需求的長照服務網絡。雙方透過實務經驗分享與制度對話，希望讓跨文化累積的照顧經驗，能在台灣第一線服務現場產生實質助益。

樂活集團董事長潘新傳表示，面對高齡社會的挑戰，照顧不只是制度與設備的堆疊，更重要的是如何真正走進社區、貼近生活。他強調，長期照顧服務影響的不只是個人，而是每一個家庭，「接住一位長照使用者，等於接住一整個家庭」，照顧是否穩定、可近，對家屬而言格外關鍵。

潘新傳指出，期盼透過此次台日合作，逐步為在地長輩與家庭建立更穩定、有溫度且可近的照顧支持，讓好的照顧經驗在地方持續累積與深化。樂活集團也表示，未來將持續推動與日本元氣村集團的人員交流與經驗學習，讓更多成熟的社區照顧模式落實於台南，為在地長者打造更安心的生活支持網絡。

台北市捷運台北車站與中山站周邊19日發生重大隨機攻擊事件，男子張文先後在地下通道與站外丟擲煙霧彈、持刀傷人，隨後闖入百貨公司，最終墜樓身亡。事件引發社會高度震撼，而現場一間位於捷運站內的星巴克，因鐵捲門啟動、未讓嫌犯進入店內，引發網友熱議。

事件相關畫面在社群平台流傳後，不少網友注意到星巴克在煙霧出現後，鐵捲門逐步下降，成功阻隔嫌犯進入。有網友稱讚「反應很快、危機處理很好」、「員工該被公司表揚」。

▲張文隨機殺人後自盡身亡。（圖／記者陳以昇攝）

不過，也有不少目擊者與網友提出不同看法，指出鐵捲門下降速度偏慢，「是慢慢關，不是真的瞬間反應」，並認為「如果嫌犯選擇衝進去，後果不堪設想」。部分留言也提到，從實際影片來看，嫌犯當時在店外徘徊，並未選擇進入，關鍵仍在於嫌犯的行為選擇，而非單一防護措施。

此外，有曾在捷運或統一集團體系工作的網友說明，該鐵捲門屬於捷運站防火與偵煙系統的一環，當偵測到煙霧時，會自動連動啟動，並非完全由店員手動操作。但也有網友認為，無論是系統或人員反應，相關場所仍有強化空間，特別是在鐵捲門速度與民眾避難意識上。

留言區中，也不乏對現場民眾反應的反思。有網友直言，「看到有人拿刀還在拍照」、「危機意識低到離譜」，認為民眾對突發暴力事件的警覺性仍需提升。

南西商圈麥當勞即時應變 引導多人躲櫃台避難

不只星巴克，有網友在社群平台發文，還原事發當下在中山南西商圈的驚險經歷，並透露南西麥當勞店員第一時間拉下鐵門，讓近10人躲進櫃台避難，成功阻隔危險。

台北市19日傍晚發生震驚社會的重大恐怖攻擊事件。27歲嫌犯張文先後在台北車站與中山站一帶丟擲煙霧彈、持長刀隨機攻擊民眾，最後從百貨公司墜樓身亡。整起事件造成包含嫌犯在內共4人死亡、9人受傷，其中一名在中山站附近遭砍身亡的機車騎士，其姊姊晚間在結束警詢、步出派出所時情緒潰堤，對著鏡頭憤恨怒吼「張文殺了我弟弟！」畫面令人鼻酸。

警方調查，27歲嫌犯張文於19日傍晚先在台北車站丟擲煙霧彈，並持長刀隨機砍殺阻止民眾，造成1死1傷後逃離；接著又轉往中山站南京西路一帶，同樣以煙霧彈製造混亂後持刀攻擊路人，並闖入南西誠品隨機行兇，台北街頭一度宛如末日電影場景。

▲騎士遇害後負傷倒在路邊。（圖／記者陳以昇攝）

其中一名死者為當時在路口停等紅燈的機車騎士，張文突然衝上前，近距離朝騎士頸部揮刀，鮮血瞬間染紅白色上衣。騎士身受重傷仍勉力騎離現場，送醫後仍因喉嚨撕裂傷勢過重，宣告不治。

警方事後陸續通知受害者家屬及嫌犯家屬到案說明。根據《民視新聞網》報導，機車騎士的姊姊在結束筆錄、步出派出所時情緒潰堤，面對鏡頭憤怒哽咽怒吼，「他殺了我弟弟！」另一方面，張文父母也被警方通知到案，兩人離開派出所時全程不發一語，神情凝重、快步上車離去。

台北市災防辦最新統計，截至當晚22時30分，送醫共13名（8男5女），其中4人死亡（含嫌犯）、重傷1人、中傷1人、輕傷7人。消防局119送醫9人，其餘4人自行就醫。警方表示，張文犯案動機及相關細節仍待進一步釐清。

TRAGEDY STRIKES TAIPEI: The suspect died after falling off a building after he threw smoke grenades into Taipei Main Station and went on a killing spree in Zhongshan

A 27-year-old suspect allegedly threw smoke grenades in Taipei Main Station and then proceeded to Zhongshan MRT Station in a random killing spree that resulted in the death of the suspect and two other civilians, and seven injured, including one in critical condition, as of press time last night.

The suspect, identified as a man surnamed Chang Wen (張文), allegedly began the attack at Taipei Main Station, the Taipei Fire Department said, adding that it received a report at 5:24pm that smoke grenades had been thrown in the station.

One man in his 50s was rushed to hospital after a cardiac arrest due to the grenade incident, but despite efforts to resuscitate him, he was later pronounced dead.

Taipei Rapid Transit Corp (臺北大眾捷運) in a statement said smoke from the incident drifted onto station platforms, prompting trains to temporarily pass through without stopping.

Normal operations resumed after the smoke dissipated, it added.

The smoke grenades were thrown near Exit M7 of the station at about 5pm, it said, adding that the police and fire service were immediately notified.

He later headed north to the area outside Eslite Spectrum Nanxi near MRT Zhongshan Station and stabbed multiple people on the first and fourth floors of the department store, primarily in the neck, Taipei police said.

Mackay Memorial Hospital last night said that they had treated a man who had an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, but he later died, making him the second civilian fatality in the case.

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an (蔣萬安) told reporters the suspect was a Taiwanese man born in 1998, who is believed to have jumped to his death while being pursued by police.

title: Japan says its no-nukes pledge has not changed

content_text:
Japan yesterday reaffirmed its decades-old pledge never to possess nuclear weapons after local media reported that a senior security official suggested the country should acquire them to deter potential aggressors.

The unnamed official said Japan needed nuclear weapons because of a worsening security environment, but acknowledged that such a move would be politically difficult, public broadcaster NHK and other outlets reported, describing the official as being from Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s office.

Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara said Japan’s nuclear policy had not changed, but declined to comment on the remarks or to say whether the person would remain in their post amid calls from opposition leaders for the official to be removed.

There is a growing political and public willingness in Japan to loosen its three non-nuclear principles not to possess, develop or allow nuclear weapons into its territory, a Reuters investigation published in August found.

While it remains a highly sensitive subject in the only country to have suffered atomic bombings, doubts over the reliability of Washington’s security guarantees under US President Donald Trump and growing threats from nuclear-armed neighbors China, Russia and North Korea have reignited the debate.

Some lawmakers within Takaichi’s ruling party have said the US should be allowed to bring nuclear weapons into Japan on submarines or other platforms to reinforce deterrence.

Takaichi last month stirred debate on her own stance by declining to say whether there would be any changes to the three principles when her administration formulates a new defense strategy next year.

“Putting these trial balloons out creates an opportunity to start to build consensus around the direction to move on changes in security policy,” International Christian University politics professor Stephen Nagy said.

Beijing’s assertiveness and growing missile cooperation between Moscow and Pyongyang are “creating the momentum to really change Japan’s thinking about security,” he added.

Taro Kono, a senior ruling party lawmaker and former defense and foreign affairs minister, said Japan should not shy away from a broader debate on the pros and cons of acquiring nuclear weapons.

Discussions about acquiring or hosting nuclear weapons have long been taboo due to the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of World War II and the country’s pacifist constitution adopted after its defeat.

Such discussions also risk drawing ire from neighboring countries such as China.

EU leaders agree to provide a massive 90bn euro interest-free loan to Ukraine

EU leaders yesterday agreed to provide a massive interest-free loan to Ukraine to meet its military and economic needs for the next two years, but they failed to bridge differences with Belgium that would have allowed them to use frozen Russian assets to raise the funds.

The IMF estimated that Ukraine would need 137 billion euros (US$160 billion) next year and in 2027. The government in Kyiv is on the verge of bankruptcy and desperately needs the money by spring.

The plan had been to use some of the 210 billion euros of Russian assets that are frozen in Europe, mostly in Belgium.

The leaders reassured Belgium they would protect it from any Russian retaliation if it backed the “reparations loan” plan, but as the talks bogged down, the leaders opted to borrow the money on capital markets.

“We have a deal. Decision to provide 90 billion euros of support to Ukraine for 2026-[20]27 approved. We committed, we delivered,” EU Council President Antonio Costa wrote on social media.

Not all countries agreed to the loan package. Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic refuse to support Ukraine and opposed it, but a deal was reached in which they did not block the package and were promised protection from any financial fallout.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who is Russian President Vladimir Putin’s closest ally in Europe and describes himself as a peacemaker, said: “I would not like a European Union in war.”

“To give money means war,” Orban said.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz also hailed the decision.

“The financial package for Ukraine has been finalized,” Merz said, adding that “Ukraine is granted a zero-interest loan.”

The frozen assets would remain blocked until Russia has paid war reparations to Ukraine, he said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has said that would cost more than 600 billion euros.

“If Russia does not pay reparations, we will — in full accordance with international law — make use of Russian immobilized assets for paying back the loan,” Merz said.

Zelenskiy had appealed for a quick decision to keep Ukraine afloat in the new year.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned early on Thursday that it would be a case of sending “either money today or blood tomorrow” to help Ukraine.

The plan to use frozen Russian assets got bogged down as Belgian Prime Minister Bart de Wever rejected the scheme as legally risky, and warned that it could harm the business of Euroclear, the Brussels-based financial clearing house where 193 billion euros in frozen assets are held.

Belgium was rattled last week when Russia’s central bank launched a lawsuit against Euroclear to prevent any loan being provided to Ukraine using its money, which is frozen under EU sanctions slapped on Moscow after its launched its full-scale war in 2022.

“For me, the reparations loan was not a good idea,” De Wever said. “When we explained the text again, there were so many questions that I said, I told you so, I told you so. There are a lot of loose ends. And if you start pulling at the loose ends in the strings, the thing collapses.”

WAVES AND CLOUDS: Taoyuan airport’s new terminal recalls the geography and the seas around Taiwan with its innovative design and construction

The main building and south concourse of Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport’s new Terminal 3 feature a spacious interior design and an exterior inspired by Taiwan’s seas, Taoyuan International Airport Corp chairman Yang Wei-fuu (楊偉甫) said in an interview published yesterday.

Yang spoke with the Chinese-language Liberty Times (sister paper of the Taipei Times) ahead of the official opening of the new terminal’s north concourse on Thursday next week.

The north concourse was built first because its location and layout were straightforward to

construct, Yang said.

The main building and south concourse are expected to be completed by the end of 2027.

The project team gained experience from completing one section first, as the north and south concourses are corresponding structures, Yang said.

“Construction methods would be refined and replicated for the south concourse, allowing construction there to proceed more quickly,” he said.

There are still 13 boarding gates to be completed in Terminal 3, five in the main terminal and eight in the south concourse, he said.

Terminals 1 and 2 were built in different eras, while Terminal 3 has bold designs to make it stand out, Yang said.

For example, the gates in the first two terminals are all in separate spaces, but Terminal 3 features an open design with a spacious interior, he said.

The architects drew inspiration from Taiwan’s clouds and seas, with its wave-like roof requiring unique structural solutions, he said.

The design builds on Taiwan’s identity as a beautiful island nation, he added.

The terminal would be supported by 16 giant columns, each 20m tall and made with about 200 tonnes of steel, which support the roof and create a large open space, Yang said.

The design of the roof incorporates advanced temperature control, a public broadcast system and air-conditioning, he added.

He added that many passengers had very positive feedback during the trial operation of the north concourse, taking many photos.

The best photo spot in the north concourse, in his opinion, is next to Gate D18, Yang said.

“The north concourse is on the west side, and from the west side, in addition to seeing the planes, you can also see the Taiwan Strait in the distance,” he said. “The view is very expansive. It’s not just the runway and planes, but the entire landscape.”

Yang said that many airport-exclusive products would be sold inthe north concourse.

During the trial operation, products such as Taiwanese face masks, beef noodles, pineapple cakes, coffee and more were available.

“In the future, we will offer more diverse options and multiple payment methods,” he said.

title: Ministry attacking high cholesterol issues

content_text:
HEART OF THE ISSUE: High cholesterol is very prevalent in Taiwan, and kills tens of thousands each year, leading the ministry to step up efforts to combat it in adults   By Chiu Chih-jou and Jake Chung / Staff reporter, with staff writer

The National Health Insurance Administration (NHIA) is investing another NT$113 million (US$3.58 million) to improve follow-up for isolated hyperlipidemia cases, often known as high cholesterol, in addition to the September relaxation of cholesterol treatment drug costs, agency Director-General Chen Lian-yu (陳亮妤) said yesterday.

Che said the agency is working with the nine largest medical associations nationwide and in September, reduced the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) eligibility threshold for cholesterol-reducing drugs from 135 milligrams per deciliter down to 100 milligrams per deciliter.

Starting on Jan. 1, the agency is implementing the NHI Hyperlipidemia Treatment Payout Amelioration Plan, which would categorize patients by condition or isolated incidents, providing high cholesterol patients with better care and comprehensive coverage over the long term, she said.

According to nutrition and health census data from 2019 to 2023 collated by the Health Promotion Administration, high cholesterol in Taiwanese over the age of 20 had a 30 percent prevalence.

Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases ranked second and fourth respectively in the top 10 causes of death in Taiwan last year, killing 35,000 people annually and posing a health risk as severe as cancer, the data showed.

Taiwan Society of Atherosclerosis and Vascular Diseases president Wang Tzung-dau (王宗道) said that high cholesterol is not easily detected, and that people with multiple metabolic disorders, familial hypercholesterolemia, a history of cardiovascular disease and those who appear healthy, but have high cholesterol should get regular testing.

Taiwan Society of Cardiology president Lee Yi-heng (李貽恒) said atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is usually caused by high concentrations of LDL-C in the bloodstream, and such conditions often accelerate arterial wall hardening, increasing risk of death.

Taiwan Society of Cardiovascular Interventions president Kao Hsien-li (高憲立) said research showed that for every one millimole per liter of LDL-C, it cuts backs evere cardiovascular incidents by 22 percent, and reduces the death risk from coronary heart disease-caused deaths by 20 percent.

Despite 70 percent of ASCVD patients continuing to take prescribed drugs, only about 35 percent achieve such goals, Kao said.

Recent research has shown that Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin type 9 inhibitors could further reduce LDL-C concentration by 50 to 60 percent, Kao said, adding that the NHIA had relaxed regulations in September, extending discount periods from six months to 12.

Such a policy could help patients reduce their medical costs by NT$120,000 per year, Kao said.

A special exhibition on Irish literature opened yesterday in Tainan, looking at the development of Irish writing from the late 19th century to the present day and its resonance with Taiwan’s own colonial history.

At a press event at the National Museum of Taiwan Literature, Hsieh Chih-hsien (謝志賢), president of the Irish Studies Association Taiwan, said he hoped the exhibition shows that Irish literature is more than just another foreign tradition, but one that “can have a dialogue with our own experiences.”

Hsieh said that while Irish literature is often categorized as a branch of English or American studies in Taiwan, it deserves special attention.

“Irish literature has carved out a profound voice from the intersection of small-state identity, peripheral language and world literature,” which “offers a window for mutual understanding because Taiwanese readers are familiar with such a literary experience,” he said.

Titled “Love Loves to Love Ireland: Extremely Distant and Incredibly Close,” the exhibition traces about 150 years of literary history. It features about 100 exhibits, including portraits, photos and manuscripts on loan from institutions such as the National Library of Ireland, Trinity College Dublin and the New York Public Library.

Among the highlights are several original manuscripts provided by the Zurich James Joyce Foundation, including notes from Finnegans Wake, the final novel by the iconic modernist author.

One section focuses on the connection between Ireland and Taiwan. It highlights W.B. Yeats’ unfulfilled plan to visit Taiwan and explores how Ireland’s struggle for autonomy from centuries of British occupation inspired Lin Hsien-tang’s (林獻堂) petition movement for legislative self-rule under Japanese colonial rule.

The exhibition runs through March 8.

title: Researchers awarded for reduction of animal testing

content_text:
The Ministry of Agriculture yesterday awarded experts and institutions for commitment to laboratory animal welfare, as animal experimentations decreased by 9 percent nationwide over the past decade.

The Animal Protection Act (動物保護法) was promulgated in 1998 with lab animals included under its protections, while the ‘3R’ principles — refine, reduce and replace — has been adopted to promote animal welfare for more than 20 years, the ministry said.

Recently developed artificial intelligence-driven predictive toxicology platforms and replacement techniques can reduce research animal use 50 to 100 percent, it said.

Non-animal acute toxicity testing helped to reduce the demand for lab animals by 72 percent and test duration by 83 percent, the ministry said.

Such efforts effectively reduced the total number of animals used in research by 9 percent nationwide from 2014 to last year, of which experimental rabbits decreased by 59 percent, experimental fish by 28 percent and experimental rodents by 4.2 percent, it said.

Special contribution awards were given to Level Biotechnology Inc consultant Hung Chao-chu (洪昭竹), China Medical University Dean of the College of Pharmacy Chen Chiung-tong (陳炯東), and Environment and Animal Society of Taiwan executive director Chu Tseng-hung (朱增宏), recognizing their efforts in standardizing humane management of lab animals and implementing the 3R principles.

The ministry also recognized 22 institutions for their outstanding performance in conducting humane care of research animals and providing training for personnel.

Hung in his remarks said animal testing was improved through “refinement” and “reduction” of animal use in 3Rs.

While fruitful outcomes have been achieved in refinement and reduction, replacement remains challenging, as few alternative techniques can meet the international certification body’s strict standards and regulations, he said.

Department of Animal Welfare Director Chiang Wen-chuan (江文全) said the idea of respecting life in research animal use has become well-established in Taiwan over the past 30 years, as a mechanism has been developed to design, review and conduct animal experiments with a focus on animal welfare.

Animal experimentation was involved in more than 7,800 projects per year in Taiwan, with 1.1 million to 1.2 million lab animals used per year, of which rodents made up the largest part at about 60 percent, he said.

Each animal is a life, Chiang said, adding that the ministry would continue to implement the 3Rs through cross-agency cooperation.


title: Paws off the honey: gift box honors prospective ‘thief’

content_text:
The Forestry and Nature Conservation Agency yesterday launched a gift box to market honey “certified by a Formosan black bear” in appreciation of a beekeeper’s amicable interaction with a honey-thieving bear.

Beekeeper Chih Ming-chen (池明鎮) in January inspected his bee farm in Hualien County’s Jhuosi Township (卓溪) and found that more than 20 beehives had been destroyed and many hives were eaten, with bear droppings and paw prints near the destroyed hives, the agency said.

Chih returned to the farm to move the remaining beehives away that evening when he encountered a Formosan black bear only 20m away, the agency said.

The bear was chewing on another honeycomb stolen from the hives and turned to look at him, it said, adding that they quietly gazed at each other for nearly 40 minutes until the bear turned around to eat more honey and then fell asleep.

Chih reported the incident to the agency’s Hualien branch shortly afterward, the agency said, adding that his cool composure was the key to avoiding a conflict in this case.

The agency has compensated Chih for the damage to his hives, and paid him a bonus under the Payments for Ecosystem Services scheme, it said.

Chih agreed to take bear safety measures to prevent potential conflicts with the animals, it said.

In appreciation of Chih’s deft handling of the situation, the agency also assisted him in designing a gift box to memorialize the encounter, with an illustration of the thieving bear on the box, it said.

The gift box features honey “approved of” by the bear, containing a longan honey jar and a wildflower honey jar, the agency said, adding that it would be sold by Blossomie Honey (慕春蜂蜜).

Separately, the Tsou Hunters Association last week said a trail camera captured footage of a Formosan black bear tapping on the infrared device in October.

The camera was about 500m from the Tefuye Historic Trail (特富野古道) in Chiayi County’s Alishan Township (阿里山).

The association called on visitors to the trail to be aware of bear activities. To reduce the likelihood of encountering bears, people are advised to bring a bell or other noise-making equipment with them during trips to mountains with bear sighting records, it said.

They should bring bear repellent spray and keep it within reach in case of a bear emergency, it said.

People must not play dead, climb trees or take any provocative action if they encounter a bear, but must instead remain calm, face the bear and slowly back away, it said.

CROSS-BORDER THREATS: Chen Kuan-ting urged administrative agencies to establish clear reporting and assistance mechanisms, so that victims know where to seek help

Civic organizations and bipartisan lawmakers yesterday urged the government to establish a victim support and reporting mechanism, strengthen cross-border threat detection and coordination capabilities, and promote national cybersecurity and protective education to raise public awareness of cross-border suppression.

The call was issued at a news conference hosted by Democratic Progressive Party Legislator Chen Kuan-ting (陳冠廷) and the Anti-Cross-Border Suppression Advocacy Action Team, and attended by Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC) cochair and Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) Legislator Chen Gau-tzu (陳昭姿).

Representatives of the victims, including Kuan Chian-jhong (管建中), a representative from the company responsible for the distribution of State Organs (國有器官) in Taiwan, were also invited to attend the news conference.

State Organs is a documentary released in October last year that exposes how Chinese government officials engage in organ harvesting and other illegal activities.

Chen Kuan-ting said there have been many cases where individuals who fled China due to persecution continue to be harassed by Chinese national security agencies after seeking refuge overseas.

This year, China has also issued harassment messages targeting Taiwanese officials and legislators, he said, adding that these threats have evolved beyond intimidating messages and bomb threats to include “identity theft,” where low-threshold communications channels are used to impersonate third parties and collect personal information.

This creates confusion for police investigations, effectively using minimal resources to generate maximum fear, forcing citizens into “self-censorship,” he said.

In a joint statement issued at the G7 summit in June, cross-border suppression was recognized as a “global security issue,” he added.

With the international community working to contain and prevent cross-border suppression, he said the purpose of the news conference was to encourage all sectors to address the issue and seek solutions.

He urged administrative agencies to establish clear reporting and assistance mechanisms, so that victims know where to seek help. Additionally, necessary legal tools should be considered to protect Taiwan’s civil society, he said.

Chen Gau-tzu said that domestically, political parties might have differing policies and platforms, but externally everyone shares a unified stance: to safeguard Taiwan’s democracy, freedom and security.

The TPP has a very clear position, which is that the Chinese Communist Party has no right to infringe upon Taiwanese.

Kuan said that on July 15 last year, he officially introduced State Organs to Taiwan.

Over the course of 16 months, more than 840 screenings were held and more than 150 threatening letters were received, he said, adding that the threats included placing bombs in the Presidential Office, the legislature and cinemas, slashing moviegoers and warning movie theaters not to cooperate with Lion Rock Films.

Kuan said that he chose not to remain silent because silence would mean paying a much greater price in the future.

The opposition parties yesterday said they would attempt to impeach President William Lai (賴清德) over what they described as his “undemocratic” practices, despite practical obstacles that would preclude the scenario.

The move came after Lai on Monday refused to promulgate a legislative amendment that would have allowed local governments to receive a larger share of government revenue, arguing that the legislation would hurt the nation’s fiscal sustainability.

Premier Cho Jung-tai (卓榮泰) had declined to countersign the legislation earlier that day, which Lai cited as the reason for not publicly announcing the law, normally considered to be routine.

“Lai has made himself emperor. He has shown that he has no regard for public opinion,” Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) caucus whip Fu Kun-chi (傅?萁) told a news conference at the legislature.

Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) Chairman Huang Kuo-chang (黃國昌) said that according to the Constitution, Lai should have promulgated the bill within 10 days after the legislature voted down on Dec. 5 an Executive Yuan motion to reconsider the amendment.

“Never has there been a president who has gone so far as to refuse to promulgate a law passed by the legislature,” Huang said.

He said the opposition caucuses would tender a motion to impeach Lai for review at a plenary session, but he did not specify when.

The Additional Articles of the Constitution of the Republic of China (中華民國憲法增修條文) state that a motion to impeach the president or vice president can be initiated after gaining the backing of half of lawmakers.

It then must gain the approval of two-thirds of lawmakers before being forwarded to the Constitutional Court to be adjudicated.

However, the court, which normally has 15 justices, but currently has only eight, is below the legal threshold for adjudication and the government’s attempts to fill the vacancies have failed.

That means the proposed impeachment could not be put into effect even if it cleared the legislative floor, which is a near impossibility in itself.

The KMT and TPP together control 60 of the 113 seats in the legislature. The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has 51 seats, with the remaining two held by KMT-leaning independent lawmakers, making a two-thirds majority in any vote highly unlikely.

Asked to comment on the opposition parties’ proposed impeachment drive, Presidential Office spokeswoman Karen Kuo (郭雅慧) said the Presidential Office respected any move as long as it is within constitutional limits.

DPP spokesman Lee Kun-cheng (李坤城) said that it is absurd for the opposition parties to claim they are fighting against dictatorship and an authoritarian regime when they dare not criticize Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平) and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“It is the KMT and TPP combining to take power from other government branches and to paralyze the Constitutional Court. Now they pass a motion to impeach President Lai. It is aimed at deceiving the public with a fake move,” Lee said. “KMT Chairwoman Cheng Li-wun (鄭麗文) even stated that Putin is not a dictator.”

As they dare not to condemn Putin and Xi, they have no credibility talking about fighting against authoritarianism in the motion to impeach Lai,” he said.

US President Donald Trump on Thursday signed into law the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which includes authorization for up to US$1 billion for the Taiwan Security Cooperation Initiative.

The NDAA, signed by Trump after the US Senate passed it 77-20 on Wednesday, also expands opportunities for US Coast Guard training teams to operate in Taiwan and has a provision supporting Taiwan’s bid to join the IMF.

Passage of the NDAA, which authorizes the US government to spend more than US$900 billion on defense programs, does not guarantee that the funds would be appropriated.

The US Congress must still pass separate defense appropriation bills for the funds to be allocated.

In signing the bill, Trump said it supported critical objectives, but he expressed concerns about specific provisions, including a joint US-Taiwan plan for uncrewed and anti-uncrewed systems, and support for Taiwan’s IMF participation.

He argued that the provisions seek to “dictate the position of the United States in external military and foreign affairs,” and that he, as commander in chief and the president, would wield his constitutional authority over US military and foreign affairs matters.

Under the NDAA, the Pentagon is required to “enable fielding of uncrewed and anti-uncrewed systems capabilities” with Taiwan by March 1 next year, including coproducing the system for the use of the US and Taiwanese armies in compliance with the Taiwan Relations Act.

The US$1 billion authorized for the Taiwan Security Cooperation Initiative would go toward expanding support for medical equipment, supply capabilities and battlefield casualty care, the NDAA says.

The legislation also directs the Pentagon to develop a plan for enhanced joint Taiwan-US Coast Guard training, and the deployment of US personnel to Taiwan to bolster maritime security, law enforcement and deterrence.

The Trans-Pacific Unmanned Vehicle Parliamentary Alliance (TUVPA) was inaugurated in Taipei yesterday, with association members pledging to transform the uncrewed vehicle industry into Taiwan’s next “national defense pillar.”

Democratic Progressive Party caucus chief executive Chung Chia-pin (鍾佳濱), who initiated the launch of the alliance, said that the applications of uncrewed vehicles have surpassed military operations, extending widely into areas such as delivery logistics, disaster relief, maritime salvage and aerial surveying.

The alliance aims to leverage the stature of the legislature to align with international standards, promote the improvement of domestic legal systems, and share experiences in cross-border promotion and application, he said.

Taiwan has the most important core of uncrewed vehicles — the “chip,” he said.

If Taiwan can improve its system integration capabilities, and connect its industry and supply chains, it is bound to become the most important hub of the global democratic alliance’s “non-red supply chain,” he added.

It is hoped that through this platform, Taiwan’s independent and rich technological achievements would be seen by the world, Chung said, adding that this would allow the uncrewed vehicle industry to not only take root in Taiwan, but also expand internationally, “becoming the second ‘national defense pillar’ after semiconductors.”

One of the highlights of the inauguration ceremony yesterday was a key briefing by Peter Mattis, president of the Jamestown Foundation in Washington, and Sunny Cheung (張崑陽), a Chinese affairs researcher.

Cheung referenced a survey conducted in collaboration with the Wall Street Journal which revealed that the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology last month announced the establishment of a national-level Humanoid Robot Special Committee. The committee integrates top companies such as Unitree and Fourier, along with research institutions with ties to the Chinese People’s Liberation Army.

This indicates that China is undergoing an unprecedented “military-civil fusion” effort to develop autonomous platform technologies, he said.

In this context, the US and its democratic allies are pushing for a global realignment of supply chains, he added.

Taiwan, with its expertise in motors, sensors and critical edge computing artificial intelligence chips, plays a pivotal role in building a supply chain controlled by like-minded nations, Cheung said, urging Taiwan to mobilize its national resources through the alliance.

In the face of the rapid evolution of technology and manufacturing, Taiwan, as the technology hub in the Asia-Pacific region, must master the ability to produce independent research and development, and manufacturing, Legislative Yuan Deputy Secretary-General Chang Yu-jung (張裕榮) said.

He expressed the hope that through the alliance, Taiwan can deepen its partnerships with friendly nations and strengthen its resilience in a changing international landscape.

Among the attendees at the event were representatives from the American Institute in Taiwan, the British Office in Taipei, the Manila Economic and Cultural Office, the India-Taipei Association and the Vietnam Economic and Cultural Office in Taipei.

Representatives from government agencies such as the National Police Agency, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the National Development Council and the Industrial Technology Research Institute, as well as companies such as Thunder Tiger Technology and Taiwan Drone 100, also took part in the event.

On the front lines of the Indo-Pacific, a region rife with conflict as China and Russia challenge global security and order, Taiwan must deepen collaboration and dialogue with like-minded countries and establish a robust, pan-democratic defense network, Institute for National Defense and Security Research chairman Huo Shou-ye (霍守業) told a forum in Taipei on Tuesday.

The institute hosted the “The Challenges Facing the Democracies in the Indo-China Region: Hybrid Warfare, Deterrence and Systemic Resilience” forum, attended by defense and legal experts.

Among them was former minister of national defense Tsai Ming-hsien (蔡明憲), who said that Taiwan increasing its defense spending, development of drones and submarine capabilities, and reinforcing infrastructure protection capabilities would help make the nation more resilient and deter China from a military invasion.

Tsai said he hoped the US, Japan, Australia, the Philippines and other friendly nations would continue to deepen defense collaborations with Taiwan.

Miles Yu (余茂春), director of the China Center at the Washington-based Hudson Institute, told the forum that Taiwan was not the sole target of Chinese expansion and threat, adding that Japan, South Korea, India and the Philippines were also at risk.

China is leveraging the same tactics that made the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) successful — “united front” tactics, armed struggle and party building, Yu said.

China places great weight behind its “united front” work toward the US, and is actively seeking to influence Washington and its policies through its agents, he said.

Institute assistant researcher Lee Chun-yi (李俊毅) said China’s “gray zone” tactics aim to portray Taiwan as part of China, and to suggest that the differences in governance between Taiwan and China do not matter.

China is seeking to influence Taiwan into thinking that the US and its allies would find it difficult to intervene, Lee said, adding that Taiwan must become more resilient, capitalize on the structural frailty of China’s polity and step up strategic collaborations with like-minded nations.

Former Philippine Army vice commander and retired major general Leodevic Guinid said the Philippines has designated Chinese maritime activities as illegal, coercive, aggressive and deceptive, and it has been combating Chinese “gray zone” tactics by deepening the Philippine-US alliance, and building multilateral security collaboration frameworks with Japan, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

Yurii Poita, head of the Asia-Pacific section of the Center for Army, Conversion and Disarmament Studies in Ukraine, who is currently visiting Academia Sinica, said that Russia sought to divide the Ukrainian public and discredit its democratic government to reduce resistance to an invasion.

Peter Mattis, president of the Jamestown Foundation, said that national security laws and national intelligence were critical to deter espionage and combat disinformation, adding that such laws should be drafted with input from the judiciary.

Mattis said that the government should foster the independence of civil society to ensure the democratic system can react to Chinese disinformation campaigns.

Taiwanese judge Hsu Kai-hsieh (許凱傑) of the Taipei District Court’s National Security Division said China is infiltrating democratic systems through intelligence gathering, forming underground organizations, intervening in elections, launching cognitive campaigns to divide the public, technological espionage and “gray zone” actions.

Such acts are not isolated incidents and, over time, would result in institutional fatigue and delayed legal responses, he said, adding that countries must strengthen their legal systems and integrate cross-border information sharing, as traditional responses based on criminal charges would not be sufficient to root out Chinese infiltration.

Taiwan has filed a complaint with the World Trade Organization (WTO) over Canadian trade measures, which include a 50 percent surtax on certain steel products and a 25 percent global tariff on some steel- derivative goods, Taiwan’s Office of Trade Negotiation confirmed yesterday.

According to AFP, Taiwan submitted a request Monday to initiate dispute consultations with Canada, arguing that Canada violated international trade rules by imposing tariff- rate quotas (TRQs), a 50 percent surtax on certain steel imports, and a 25 percent global tariff on selected steel- derivative products in June.

The request was circulated to WTO members on Thursday, AFP reported.

Taiwan’s trade office said yesterday the steel industry is vital to the country’s defense sector and a key source of export revenue.

The office said that Canada, Mexico and the European Union have recently adopted protective measures on steel imports to prevent low-priced Chinese steel from flooding the market, moves that have severely affected Taiwan’s steel exports.

According to the office, Canada’s TRQs could cost Taiwan’s steel industry more than NT$1.7 billion (US$54 million) annually.

For steel-derivative products such as screws and nuts, Taiwanese firms could face tariffs totaling more than NT $1.3 billion if exports remain at previous levels, the office said.

Taiwan has repeatedly raised concerns with Canada through bilateral and multilateral channels, emphasizing that Canada’s import protections violate its WTO obligations, it said.

The complaint followed an appeal by the Taiwan Steel & Iron Industries Association to pursue negotiations aimed at reaching a mutually beneficial solution with Canada, it said.

The office also noted that the case could proceed to formal WTO dispute settlement if consultations fail.

Canada has said it respects Taiwan’s rights under WTO rules, according to the office.

Under WTO procedures, consultations give both sides a chance to resolve the dispute before formal litigation. If the issue remains unresolved after 60 days, Taiwan can request a panel to hear the case.

DEFENSE

Missile in live-fire test

An air-launched variant of the Hsiung Feng III supersonic anti-ship missile has completed its first live-fire test after being mounted on an Indigenous Defense Fighter, an air force source said yesterday. The missile, developed by the Chungshan Institute of Science and Technology, was test-fired on Thursday as part of efforts to enhance the nation’s air combat capabilities, the source said. If subsequent tests continue to meet performance requirements, the program would advance to service-level operational evaluation, the stage before mass production, they said. Photographs and texts posted on Thursday on a military-focused Facebook page showed a single-seater IDF with the tail number 1490 carrying a missile on its right wing. A positioning pod used for testing purposes was mounted on the wingtip. An air force official later confirmed that the test was part of the air-launched missile program, codenamed the Hsiung Chi (Brave Raptor) program, to enhance Taiwan’s air combat capabilities.

POLITICS

Legislative session extended

The opposition Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) and Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) used their combined legislative majority yesterday to vote to extend the Legislative Yuan session until Jan. 31 next year. The two opposition parties, which together control 62 of the legislature’s 113 seats, outvoted Democratic Progressive Party lawmakers 59-49 to extend the session. The legislature meets in two regular sessions each year — from February to the end of May and from September to the end of December.

TRANSPORTATION

Bus crash injures three

An accident in Taipei involving four buses yesterday caused minor injuries to three passengers, the Taipei Fire Department said. The department said that it received a report at about 1pm that a traffic accident had occurred in the southbound bus lane on Dunhua N Road near Bade Road in Taipei. The Taipei Public Transportation Office said that an initial assessment indicated that one of the bus drivers failed to pay attention while pulling into a bus stop on Dunhua N Road. As a result, he drove into a stationary bus in front of him, which then ran into another bus, which rear-ended a fourth bus, it said. The three passengers who sustained minor abrasions were all on the bus that initiated the collision, the Taipei Fire Department said, adding that the victims were a 53-year-old woman who injured her knees, a 40-year-old man who sustained a mouth injury and a 25-year-old who injured a calf muscle. None of the bus drivers tested positive for alcohol, police said. The collision likely resulted from the brakes of the bus failing, police added.

ENTERTAINMENT

Kara to headline countdown

Five-member South Korean girl group Kara are to be the headline act of Taipei’s New Year countdown celebrations, the Taipei Department of Information and Tourism said yesterday. Besides the South Korean group, other international acts are to include Singaporean singer-songwriter Tanya Chua (蔡健雅), six-member South Korean-Taiwanese girl group Genblue and South Korean-Taiwanese singer-songwriter Bii, the department said. A total of 10 acts are to take to the stage outside Taipei City Hall starting at 7pm on Dec. 31. Kara’s performance would be the first in Taiwan for 12 years. Taipei is also to host performances on Dec. 31 at four other locations — Dinghao Square on Zhongxiao E Road, Jingqin No. 1 Park, Xiangshan Park and Four Four South Village.

INFLATION CONSIDERATION:  The BOJ governor said that it would ‘keep making appropriate decisions’ and would adjust depending on the economy and prices

The Bank of Japan (BOJ) yesterday raised its benchmark interest rate to the highest in 30 years and said more increases are in the pipeline if conditions allow, in a sign of growing conviction that it can attain the stable inflation target it has pursued for more than a decade.

Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda’s policy board increased the rate by 0.2 percentage points to 0.75 percent, in a unanimous decision, the bank said in a statement.

The central bank cited the rising likelihood of its economic outlook being realized.

The rate change was expected by all 50 economists surveyed by Bloomberg.

The central bank made it clear that the hiking cycle would continue, saying that it intends to keep raising borrowing costs if its economic outlook is realized and the chances of that happening are increasing.

It also said that underlying inflation is continuing to rise moderately.

“We’ll keep making appropriate decisions at each policy meeting,” Ueda told a news conference. “The pace at which we adjust our rate will depend on the state of the economy and prices.”

While market participants were closely watching whether Ueda would give further clarity on where he sees the neutral rate — the level at which the policy rate is neither stimulative nor restrictive — the governor continued to say that it is difficult to judge where that rate might precisely be.

The central bank sees the rate as roughly somewhere between 1 percent and 2.5 percent.

“Of course it would be great if we can have a better idea of where the neutral rate is, but it’s not easy,” Ueda said, adding that the current rate was still below the lower end of the estimated range.

“The decision statement describes rates as “at significantly low levels,” even as they edge toward the bank’s 1 percent estimate for the lower bound of neutral,” Bloomberg analyst Taro Kimura said.

“That suggests the bank now sees neutral as higher, giving it room to tighten further,” Kimura said.

The yen weakened past ￥156.80 against the US dollar after Ueda spoke, suggesting that traders were looking for stronger messaging around further hikes ahead.

Japanese government bond yields rose after the decision, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year bond climbing above 2 percent and hitting the highest level since 1999.

The Nikkei 225 Stock Average had earlier closed 1 percent higher.

The policy change underscored Ueda’s determination to keep raising rates as inflation gradually embeds itself into the economy in a major shift from decades of weak prices following the early 1990s bursting of an asset bubble.

Earlier yesterday, data showed that a key gauge of consumer prices rose 3 percent last month, extending the streak of months at or above the central bank’s 2 percent inflation target to 44.

“I think the BOJ will continue raising rates at a pace of around once every six months or so,” Kazuo Momma, a former executive director at the central bank, said on Bloomberg TV shortly after the decision, a comment largely in line with market consensus.

“Maybe two rate hikes in 2026 and one more in 2027, reaching the level of 1.5 percent,” Momma added.

TAIWAN VALUE CHAIN:  Foxtron is to fully own Luxgen following the transaction and it plans to launch a new electric model, the Foxtron Bria, in Taiwan next year

Yulon Motor Co (裕隆汽車) yesterday said that its board of directors approved the disposal of its electric vehicle (EV) unit, Luxgen Motor Co (納智捷汽車), to Foxtron Vehicle Technologies Co (鴻華先進) for NT$787.6 million (US$24.98 million).

Foxtron, a half-half joint venture between Yulon affiliate Hua-Chuang Automobile Information Technical Center Co (華創車電) and Hon Hai Precision Industry Co (鴻海精密), expects to wrap up the deal in the first quarter of next year.

Foxtron would fully own Luxgen following the transaction, including five car distributing companies, outlets and all employees.

The deal is subject to the approval of the Fair Trade Commission, Foxtron said.

“Foxtron will be in charge of the company’s operation and build an extensive electric vehicle value chain in Taiwan from product design to distribution and maintenance services,” Foxtron president Chen Ching-ya (陳清亞) told a news conference in Taipei.

Foxtron plans to launch its new electric model under its new brand, Foxtron Bria, in Taiwan only, in the first quarter of next year, Chen said.

The company does not have any plans to roll out new models under the Luxgen brand, he said.

Foxtron Brias would be built based on the Model B developed by Foxtron, he added.

That means the Luxgen n7 would be the last model under the Luxgen brand, ending 15 years of operations.

Yulon said it still has about 700 to 800 Luxgen n7s.

Under the contract design and manufacturing service business model, Foxtron said that it would stick to its plans to ship new electric vehicles to Australia and New Zealand next year.

The vehicles would be off-brand to avoid direct competition with its customers, the firm said.
