行政院長卓榮泰昨（7日）被傳出搭乘公務包機赴日看WBC世界棒球經典賽；卓榮泰8日回應，此行自費且私人的活動，沒有其他任何目的。國民黨前發言人李明璇表示，私人看球賽，還能被大內宣包裝成什麼外交大突破，到底突破什麼？真的是吹牛不打草稿。

李明璇8日在臉書表示，卓榮泰私人行程卻可以搭專機？私人看球賽，還能被大內宣包裝成什麼外交大突破，到底突破什麼？突破公私界限？還是突破納稅人的底線？那經典賽預賽結束之後在美國打，總統賴清德你要不要也去美國看球賽，來一個大突破，真的是吹牛不打草稿。大內宣只做給青鳥看，讓那些在中東苦等不到政府的協助，還要自己想辦法回國的台灣人情何以堪吶。

李明璇接著指出，國民逃難慢慢等，行政院長看球賽跑第一！奉勸一下卓榮泰，與其急著飛日本看球，不如先把台灣的內政、外交顧好，請先好好行政，依法行政，當一個稱職的行政院長，那才真的是你任內真正的「大突破」。

星期六，美國總統川普在「美洲之盾」(Shield of Americas)峰會上表示，他有可能再對古巴採取行動。

美洲之盾峰會是川普第二任期召開的，受邀出席的包括阿根廷、玻利維亞、智利、與宏都拉斯的總統們。川普在演講中首先談到對伊朗戰爭的最新進展，他告訴這些西半球領導人，已經取得了「巨大的進展」。

他說：「這段時間相當瘋狂，但進展非常順利。」

接著他依照慣例大談自己的表現，他說：「我們正在做一些事情。我重建了美軍，並使其變得非常強大。在我第一個任期就取得了巨大的成功， 現在我們繼續發揮下去。戰爭是不幸的，但=我們不得不這樣做，但你們現在看到了，我們表現的有多麼出色。」

川普提到抓捕委內瑞拉的總統馬杜洛(Nicolás Maduro)，然後警告「即將對古巴採取行動」。

他說：「在我們實現委內瑞拉改變的同時，我們也期待古巴也迎來巨大變革，古巴已經走到了盡頭，他們真的沒路了。沒錢，沒石油，他們的治理也很糟糕，而且已經糟糕了很久。」

他補充說：「古巴這種糟糕已經接近尾聲。它將迎來美好的新生活。」

川普與拉丁美洲國家的關係很微妙，他有一些追隨者，但是他的政策也常常招致這些鄰國的批評。許多拉美國家的領導人，批評美國突襲、逮捕馬杜洛的行動，就是對委內瑞拉主權的侵犯。

在這次峰會召開之前，川普將國土安全部長諾姆(Kristi Noem)免職，調任為「美洲之盾」特使，顯然繼續重用。諾姆感謝川普的任命，並強調西半球國家需要合作瓦解販毒集團。

連一刻都沒有為同事哀悼，立刻趕到戰場的是

我。主管說：你坐啊。我知道這個時候

只要微笑就可以了。欣梅爾一定也會這麼做的

不能逃避、不能逃避、不能逃避。這幾年

我禿了，也變強了。主管說錯的不是我，是這個世界——

那一天，辦公室終於回想起主管說

會贏喔的那一天

真相永遠只有一個，大哥沒有輸

幫他撐十秒，這是我最後的波紋了

同事在說話呢：勞動就是狗屎！前方可是地獄啊！

太失禮了吧，我們可是純愛呢

我是說我和我的工作。所以我說那個

PM呢，PM在哪裡

重要的日曆缺了一部分

被遺忘的月分將被盛大地弔唁

但是我拒絕

覆蓋自己，結束這回合

畢竟現在放棄的話，勞保就結束了

隱藏著黑暗力量的鑰匙啊，請在我面前打開

一坪的海岸線。我是說房間。下班後的房間

大人才不看動漫呢。想想八戒死前三天說過的話：

溫柔優美。樂音高亢。輕鬆開朗

現代人長時間使用電腦、手機，容易引發肩頸痠痛問題，醫師指出，不少求診患者外觀已明顯呈現駝背坐姿、頭前傾，像極「烏龜頸」的姿勢，體態完全走樣，還有人頸部後面形成腫包，稱為「富貴包」或「頸部駝峰（Dowager’s hump）」。

頸椎椎間盤病變 呈現年輕化

近年頸椎椎間盤病變人數逐年上升，與3C產品普及與重度使用密切相關，且呈現年輕化趨勢。振興醫院神經外科主治醫師鐘子超說，現代人工作離不開電腦、上下班通勤眼睛緊盯手機螢幕，回家後繼續滑手機、看平板電腦，成為「低頭族」，且低頭時間長，成為頸椎退化主因。

長時間「低頭」，會造成頸椎椎間盤的壓力過大，進而引發頸椎椎間盤病變，頸部會感到劇烈疼痛外，連日常活動都可能會受限。

鐘子超指出，雖然大多數的頸部疼痛都會自動緩解，但是全球卻有逾三分之一的人持續3個月以上頸部疼痛，嚴重影響生活品質。

新光醫院復健科主治醫師林於廷表示，頸椎是一塊一塊骨頭堆疊起來，骨頭旁有神經，而骨頭與骨頭間有椎間盤，當長期不良姿勢累積負能量，將對頸椎、椎間盤及神經造成壓迫，導致頸椎關節、椎間盤提早退化，甚至出現神經根病變。

頭前傾60度 頸椎受壓變5倍

鐘子超指出，當人體的頸部前屈超過20度或後仰超過5度，或過度扭轉姿勢，頸部承受來自頭部重量的受力約5公斤，頭部前傾彎曲角度每增加15度，頸椎承受的壓力會增加5至7公斤，若低頭達到60度，頸椎承受的壓力將高達5倍之多，等於是一個國小四年級生坐在肩膀上，久而久之將導致「烏龜頸」，影響頸椎健康。

手感覺觸電或發麻 盡快就醫

正常人的標準姿勢，林於廷說，頭是安穩的在頸部上方，但現代人不論是使用電腦或手機時，經常是長時間維持一個姿勢，在精神過於專注下，身體、頸部會慢慢地往前位移，有如「烏龜頸」向前傾，時間一拉長，頸部肌肉便會失去平衡，且因肌肉緊繃、放鬆位置不同，容易造成肩頸痠痛，合併駝背、圓肩，甚至影響走路姿勢。

林於廷提醒，若出現頸部疼痛、活動度變差，壓迫到神經，將會感覺手有觸電或發麻的感覺，甚至會一路傳導到手指頭，或是往下傳至腳，這時就應提高警覺，就醫治療。

中華隊在世界棒球經典賽首次邀請台美混血好手參賽，廿九歲好手費爾柴德在東京巨蛋展現巨砲火力，對捷克、南韓隊之戰連續都轟出全壘打，成為中華隊得勝的大功臣；他在昨天對南韓隊之戰結束後透露，未來仍願代表中華隊出賽，「只要台灣願意邀請，我很樂意。」

費爾柴德在預賽固定先發，合計十二次打數三支安打，雖然打擊率只有二成五○，但靠精準選球獲得四次保送；他在前天對捷克隊之戰轟出滿貫砲，昨對南韓隊再轟兩分砲，預賽共攻下六分打點、跑回五分，還有三次盜壘成功，展現全方位破壞力。

中華隊昨天打贏重要比賽，費爾柴德賽後分享屠韓心得，形容「感覺非常棒」。他說，隊友在預賽四戰互相扶持，剛開始輸掉兩場，前天反擊回來，昨天又贏得一場拉鋸戰；這支球隊很有默契，大家為彼此加油，能在短時間內建立這種感情真的很特別，「展現隊友多麼支持彼此，球迷多麼支持我們」。

昨天對南韓隊八局上敲出重要一擊，費爾柴德說，揮出全壘打的感覺總是很好，但經典賽感覺有點不同，因為預賽要打四場比賽，感覺每一球對於晉級都至關重要，而且又是代表一個國家參賽，感受到球迷完全不同層次的熱情，真的很特別。

台東枇杷產量僅次於台中，也是全台最早上市的產地，初鹿地區栽種的枇杷近日進入採收期，甫上市每公斤市場拍賣均價飆破三百元。果農說，因去年颱風導致減產三成左右，也讓產期延後約廿天，產地價格持平，未因減產上漲太多，此時是品嘗新鮮枇杷的最佳時機。

台東枇杷主要種植在鹿野鄉及卑南鄉，近日進入枇杷採收季，許多果園可見農民忙碌身影。台東縣農會理事長、議員楊招信指出，去年枇杷開花時恰巧遭遇兩個颱風來襲，樹枝折斷影響果樹成長，導致花苞延遲廿多天才開，數量約減少三成。

農民說，台東主要栽種長崎早生與茂木兩品種枇杷，土壤及氣候得天獨厚，又加上適當施肥與細心管理，品質特別好，只要是台東生產枇杷，每台斤可多賣卅元至五十元。

台北地檢署偵辦太子集團洗錢案，變價拍賣超跑界的「四大神獸」，其中法拉利「馬王」以1億3500萬拍定。圖／聯合報系資料照片柬埔寨太子集團涉嫌在台從事非法賭博與洗錢，大舉購買豪宅、超跑，近日法務部拍賣查扣的卅三輛豪車，部長鄭銘謙親自到場「觀禮」，儼然當成打詐政績秀。然而，該集團近十年來以台灣做為跨國洗錢中繼站，金額高達一○七億，檢方並且在偵辦太子集團案時，意外查出吳逸先博弈集團；若非太子集團首腦遭美方制裁，我方政府迄今對這些詐騙、博弈、洗錢集團渾然不知，洗錢防制可說完全失靈。法務部不以為恥，還敲鑼打鼓，根本就是將恥辱當政績。

陸籍改柬埔寨籍的陳志，創辦太子集團，在柬埔寨各地設立強迫勞動的詐騙園區，從事加密貨幣、線上博弈等投資詐欺活動，並在多國成立空殼公司，以購買奢侈品與房地產的方式洗錢，隱匿跨國犯罪所得。從二○一六年陳志就來台布局，設立了多家空殼公司。同樣是陸籍改柬埔寨籍的吳逸先，比太子集團更早來台發展線上博弈，後與太子集團合作，屬於洗錢犯罪集團的最高層級，背後還可能有黑幫介入。

去年十月美國起訴陳志等人，並將該集團在台灣所設公司及三名台籍女幹部列入制裁名單，台灣才展開調查，該集團豪奢行徑因此曝光。光是台北頂級豪宅「和平大苑」，就買下十一戶，不僅當起「周董」周杰倫的鄰居，檢方更在地下停車場查扣到廿六輛頂級豪車，總價值高達近五億元。至於吳逸先也藉洗錢在台先後買下六棟豪宅，市值近一億五千萬元。

陳志和吳逸先在台洗錢如入無人之境，將境外犯罪所得匯入台灣狂買豪宅、超跑等豪奢品，若無美國起訴陳志，台灣繼而追出吳逸先，恐怕現在兩人仍可利用台灣制度及監管漏洞繼續洗錢，凸顯台灣洗錢防線不堪一擊。

太子集團多年來能從境外大舉匯入犯罪資金，主要透過在台人頭公司，這亦是詐團慣用手法。關鍵在於現行法規對於公司設立登記管制寬鬆，以致人頭公司浮濫，成為洗錢主要管道。太子集團因此輕易在金融機構開設ＯＢＵ（國際金融業務分行）帳戶，透過假交易讓銀行放行資金，光是二○一六至二○二五年，經由外匯匯入台灣十六家人頭公司的金額，即高達九十七億餘元。

由此可見，對公司登記管理消極的經濟部是洗錢防制第一道「破口」，而負責金融監理的金管會亦難辭其咎。太子集團在十家銀行共有六十個帳戶，金管會坦言，銀行曾進行五十二次大額通報、疑似洗錢通報，卻還是爆發巨額洗錢案，顯然風險控管形同虛設。職司洗錢防制的法務部，更是失職，鄭銘謙還好意思夸夸其談？

司法對於詐團輕縱輕判，則早就是人民之痛。該案偵辦期間，擔任集團在台秘書的劉姓特助，被法院裁定以十五萬元交保，該特助離去的燦笑引發熱議，成了對司法最大諷刺。去年七月豐原一家五口被詐騙走上絕路，去年底檢方偵結起訴，主嫌「李團長」因普通詐欺而非集團犯罪，合併銀行法求刑十五年，而法院判決刑度通常會再降低；換言之，一條人命不值三年，引發外界譁然，法務部才說將修法。問題是，詐騙集團橫行已久，法務部卻直到此案偵結才發現刑期太低，也難怪司法會成為打詐國家隊的戰犯之一。

雖然太子集團在台灣尚未有受害者報案，但這些拍賣的超跑資金不論來自境內或境外，全是犯罪所得，可說是吸著受害者的血而來，更映照出執政的無能。看看當天現場，不論是拍賣者或是得標者「歡樂」的氣氛，還宣揚為國庫進帳多少云云，鄭銘謙不覺丟臉嗎？

民進黨立委沈伯洋。圖／聯合報系資料照片 許正宏被青鳥奉為精神領袖的綠委沈伯洋一句意指「青鳥不等於民進黨支持者」，遭外界質疑是切割青鳥。回顧過往，賴總統不僅曾使出「青鳥召喚術」，沈伯洋更對青鳥領銜的罷團活動幾乎無役不與。青鳥也在沈伯洋陷入「紅孩兒」爭議時，發起一人一句響應「我相信沈伯洋」運動，如今卻遭「教主」無情切割，情何以堪。

前年五月民進黨號召民眾包圍立院抗議「國會三法」，自此「青鳥」就與民進黨支持者畫上等號。賴清德更把青鳥當成私人部隊，動不動就威脅藍白「青鳥會飛出來」，大罷免就是青鳥傾巢而出的結果。

怪的是，當時青鳥似乎並不存在與民進黨價值觀不同的問題，賴清德還要黨公職與青鳥同行。其中又以沈伯洋最積極投入罷團活動，也因此被青鳥奉為「教主」。當沈伯洋陷入「紅色」危機時，青鳥更情義相挺，疾呼「不信Puma，還能相信誰？」，簡直已到宗教領袖境界。

然而，大罷免期間出現許多青鳥的偏激言行，包括騷擾甚至公審路人，最知名的例子就是在街頭挑釁藍委葉元之，惹怒許多中間選民，反而讓葉挺過大罷免。不僅如此，青鳥更在網路上到處出征使用大陸用語者，種種過激行為，都讓「青鳥」逐漸成了負面詞。

沒想到，現在連沈伯洋都跟青鳥撇清關係，青鳥當場變可割可棄的韭菜，悲哉。

近期傳出，美國白宮內部正在研擬一項全新的AI晶片管制法規。

該法規將要求NVIDIA、超微（AMD）等業者對於AI晶片的出口，無論是出口到哪個國家，都必須通過白宮的批准，具體的審查強度，將因出口規模而定。

如果出口規模不大，審查就會比較容易通過，但如果是大規模的出口，白宮就會介入並進行嚴格管控。外界評估，這是美國為了確保自身對於全球AI算力的分配與去向，能夠有更準確的掌握程度，以及更大的干預力度。

晶片業界人士直言，其實這就是現有對40幾個「非盟友國家」AI晶片出口限制的放大版，除了確保對於各國AI算力的掌握之外，也是為了進一步打擊猖獗的算力走私，以及離岸建置算力等等繞路的做法。

更甚之，當美國有權力可以決定最高等級AI晶片在各國的分配，那這就會變成美國政府在進行各種貿易與政治談判上的巨大籌碼。

熟悉半導體供應鏈業者坦言，其實這樣超大規模的管制，在核心目標與做法上，和先前川普政府大力批評且撤銷的，拜登政府所曾提出的AI晶片管制法案，可以說是殊途同歸。

到最後，白宮還是得啟動這種範圍更大更全面性的AI晶片出口審查，這對於每個打算發展本土AI資料中心的國家來說，肯定都會有些壓力。

畢竟，能不能算是川普認定的「盟友國家」，標準可能隨時會有變化，而即便被視為盟友國家，每一筆AI晶片的進口都要經過白宮同意，也是一個巨大的不確定性。

至於這樣的做法，能否真正打擊到AI算力「第三地走私」的情況？

晶片業界人士認為，還是要看相關法規的細節制定，以及最終的執行情況而定，比方說被當作走私關鍵節點的東南亞地區，美國能不能透過法規條件，來要求這些政府單位，嚴格控管AI晶片的去向與使用情況，有沒有機制來核實這些政府回報的情況是真實並且無扭曲的，都會影響到政策的最終成效。

而對於兩家AI運算晶片業者來說，這樣進一步的管制，自然不會是什麼正面的消息，畢竟這意味著，海外客戶的訂單都可能因為白宮的審查及其他談判考量而出現變數。

IC設計業者表示，若預設法規能夠嚴格執行且涵蓋範圍足夠嚴謹，基本上全世界各地的AI算力部署規模，以及AI應用的發展情況，都由美國一個人說了算。

畢竟現在市場上，幾乎沒有能夠直接取代NVIDIA或超微等美系大廠算力的競爭者，在AI這種高速演進的產業裡，AI廠商其實沒有那麼多時間等待非美系的運算晶片追上這些領先業者，最終可能都得屈服，但實際情況，還是得等白宮真正推出法令之後，才會較為明朗。

早安。

在 2026 年 WBC 世界棒球經典賽的東京賽場上，Team Taiwan經歷一場精采絕倫的生死戰。在分組預賽中，台灣隊雖然敗給實力強勁的日本，但在周日對陣宿敵韓國的關鍵戰役中，最終以 4：3 險勝韓國。

由於澳洲周日晚間輸球日本，台灣隊現在唯一的晉級機會，就在周一的韓澳大戰。根據估算，若中華隊想挺進8強、前進邁阿密，除了需要韓國獲勝之外，在得分條件上，韓國隊必須攻下至少7分，且澳洲得分需高於3分。

DIGITIMES Research副總監林芬卉整理出此次觀戰所看到的贊助商，大家可看到跟科技有關聯的廣告主，請見文末編輯手記。

另外，蔡力行接受《A Bit Personal with Jodi Shelton》節目的訪談，有不少精彩的分享：

首先，蔡力行回顧了他在半導體產業四十年的韌性與危機管理。他詳細描述了 2008 年金融海嘯時期，台積電產能利用率暴跌至 40% 以下的極端困境，當時他堅持研發投資不能中斷，這成為日後競爭力的關鍵。

其次，他剖析了台灣半導體奇蹟的根源與全球化前景。他將台灣的成功歸功於早期政府正確的技術轉移決策、勤奮且具備高度紀律的工程師文化，以及與美國矽谷接軌的靈活商業模式。

最後，蔡力行高度看好 AI 帶來的運算革命，認為其影響力將超越行動通訊。在領導風格上，他結合了美式的直接坦率與東方的紀律，強調與輝達（Nvidia）等夥伴的協作價值。

中國EV快充競賽升級 比亞迪二代刀片電池對決寧德時代

中國電動車產業的核心競爭正從續航里程轉向補能效率。中國電動車龍頭比亞迪（BYD）近日發表第二代刀片電池與新一代閃充技術，宣稱可實現「5分鐘充好、9分鐘充飽」的快充能力，被外界視為直接與動力電池龍頭寧德時代（CATL）近年神行快充電池比拚。

兩大龍頭在快充技術上的正面交鋒，也使動力電池產業的技術競賽再度升溫。

評析：面板關廠背後的半導體轉骨大計

曾經被戲稱為「慘業」的台灣面板產業，正迎來一場史無前例的板塊挪移。

近年來，面板雙虎群創與友達相繼關閉或處分舊世代產線，表面上看來是為了在LCD的低毛利紅海中止血，但若從產業結構進行分析的話，這更像是一場「以退為進」的戰略布局。

content_text: 針對本港婦女面對的不公平處境，香港婦女勞工協會提出多項政策建議，促請政府透過制度改善現狀。協會認為，政府應首先擴闊照顧者津貼對象，將「顧幼者」及「顧特殊兒童者」納入範疇，並確認其社會承擔。協會又稱，政府應以國際公認的「生活工資」取代現行最低工資制度，按本港水平計算應訂為每小時62.8元，以解決工資與生活開支脫節的問題 。針對家庭照顧者，協會促請政府擴闊津貼對象至「顧幼者」及「顧特殊兒童者」，並給予「以老護老」及「以殘護殘」的雙重身份照顧者申請雙重津貼的資格。此外，就照顧工作常致勞損，基層婦女又難以負擔加價後的急症室費用，協會建議增設「照顧者醫療券」，以減輕其經濟與身心壓力。在就業保障方面，協會炮轟現行最低工資水平過低，今年僅每小時增一元，對工人的幫助微乎其微，又促請政府停止在26個基層工種輸入外勞，避免本地婦女出現開工不足或被迫轉為零散工的情況。就零散化就業，協會要求盡快制訂標準工時，作為保障工人福利的基礎。

【新唐人北京時間2026年03月09日訊】美國堪薩斯城國際機場（KCI）因發生一起潛在威脅事件，大批旅客已從機場進行疏散。
雖然官方尚未說明潛在威脅的具體性質，但堪薩斯城航空局（KCAD）證實，作為「預防措施」，機場航廈的部分區域已經完成疏散。
航空局表示：「機場警察正與聯邦調查局（FBI）合作，以證實任何潛在威脅的真實性。」目前，進出該機場的航班已全部停飛，機場周邊交通也已實施分流繞道。
當地KMBC報導，現場目擊到執法人員帶著警犬進入機場裡面。據報，執法部門的無線電通訊中提到某餐廳內出現一個空袋子，但目前尚無法確認這是否為導致此次大規模疏散的原因。

宜蘭縣礁溪鄉知名溫泉豪宅社區，驚傳呂姓保全涉嫌在社區公廁藏放手機偷拍如廁畫面，再透過AI深偽技術進行影像合成，作案時間逾2年，已知21名成年及4名未成年女性受害，其中1名成年女子被偷拍257次，宜蘭地檢署依違反兒少性剝削防制條例等罪名將他起訴。

發生保全偷拍的溫泉豪宅社區，傳有不少雙北都會區政商名流砸重金置產，當成渡假休閒使用，諷刺的是，社區主打門禁森嚴、管理嚴謹，想不到自家僱用的保全36歲呂姓男子，利用職務之便偷拍，讓住戶大嘆「內賊難防」。

根據調查，2023年4月起，呂姓保全在溫泉豪宅社區管理中心一樓公廁內木櫃夾層藏放手機，連接行動電源後，全日開啟錄影功能，2025年6月初才被發現，警方查扣5支手機、6個行動電源、3張記憶卡、微型攝影機、針孔攝影機、wifi攝影器，在手機內查到偷拍畫面、AI合成照片截圖，呂男對偷拍犯行坦承不諱。

查扣的偷拍畫面中，25名被害人清一色是女性，年紀最小的在案發當下未滿5歲，呂男加以篩選、編輯，並標明時間、綽號，以便反覆觀賞。此案東窗事發後，被害人擔心不雅畫面外流而人心惶惶。

檢察官痛斥呂男身為社區保全，本應擔負維護治安之責，竟未恪盡職責，反而乘職務之便遂行偷拍犯行，將他人隱私性極高的如廁行為，作為滿足一己性慾工具，犯罪動機低劣。

檢警掌握呂男偷拍的影片並未外流，他的行為觸犯刑法的無故偷拍影像罪、兒少性剝削防制條例、個資法，檢方偵結起訴後，最近移送宜蘭地院審理。

（中央社杜拜8日綜合外電報導）伊朗戰爭打擊範圍今天擴及民用基礎設施，巴林指責伊朗襲擊對波斯灣國家飲用水至關重要的海水淡化廠。而在警告將對攻擊進行報復後，沙烏地阿拉伯發布首宗死亡通報。

美聯社報導，以色列深夜空襲後，遇襲的德黑蘭油庫仍在悶燒，當局對市民發出環境警告。同時，伊朗總統於戰爭第9天誓言，將進一步擴大對區域美國目標的攻擊行動。

沙烏地阿拉伯今天發布首宗死亡通報，表示有一件軍事發射物落在住宅區，導致一名印度籍和一名孟加拉籍人士身亡，另有12名孟加拉籍人士受傷。這場戰爭在波斯灣諸國造成的傷亡多為外籍居民和勞工。

伊朗發射數以百計飛彈和無人機，升高區域不滿情緒。阿拉伯聯盟（Arab League）秘書長阿波蓋特（Ahmed Aboul Gheit）痛批伊朗攻擊阿拉伯國家的「魯莽政策」。

波灣國家巴林、科威特、阿拉伯聯合大公國今天都通報再有伊朗飛彈射向境內。

其中，巴林指責伊朗不加區分地攻擊民用目標，損毀一座海水淡化廠，所幸其電力和供水系統目前維持正常運作。海水淡化廠為區域數百萬居民和數以千計受困旅客供水，這項通報在乾旱的沙漠國家令人對可能的災難性風險引以為憂。

以色列軍方今天則通報戰爭爆發以來首度有士兵陣亡，表示有兩人於以軍在黎巴嫩南部鎖定伊朗支持的什葉派基本教義民兵組織真主黨（Hezbollah）攻擊時喪生，下午另有3人在以色列境內遇襲受傷。

以色列和美國於2月28日發動空襲而引爆這場導致伊朗最高領袖斃命的戰爭，根據官方數據，目前已造成伊朗至少1230人、黎巴嫩至少397人、以色列至少11人死亡，美軍則有6名士兵陣亡。

與此同時，在強硬派表示作戰方針不會改變之後，伊朗總統裴澤斯基安（Masoud Pezeshkian）一改昨天為攻擊波灣周邊鄰國領土而道歉的和解語氣。他今天表示：「他們施加的壓力越大，我們的反應自然就越強烈。我們伊朗、我們國家不曾、也不會輕易屈服於霸凌、壓迫或侵略。」

裴澤斯基安並呼籲鄰近國家不要參與美國和以色列發動的攻擊行動。

伊朗強硬派司法總監艾杰（Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei）昨天在社群平台X上表示：「伊朗武裝部隊掌握的證據顯示，區域內某些國家的地理空間，無論明裡暗裡，都被敵人利用…對這些目標的猛烈攻擊將會持續下去。」

艾杰和裴澤斯基安同為3人領導委員會（Leadership Council）成員。該委員會暫代最高領袖職務，直到專家會議（Assembly of Experts）選出新任最高領袖為止。（編譯：何宏儒）1150309

（中央社德黑蘭8日綜合外電報導）伊朗準備公布遇刺最高領袖哈米尼接班人之際，美國總統川普今天警告，伊朗下一任最高領袖人選若未獲得他的同意，將難以長久掌權。

法新社報導，哈米尼（Ali Khamenei）因美國、以色列聯手於9天前對其官邸空襲而身亡，中東隨即陷入戰火。伊朗專家會議（Assembly of Experts）成員透露，已經秘密舉行會議選出新領袖，但未公布人選，只表示即將對外宣布。有人認為，現年56歲的哈米尼之子穆吉塔巴．哈米尼（Mojtaba Khamenei）將接替其父。

川普先前曾提出對伊朗新領袖任命擁有發言權的要求，並表示哈米尼之子是不可接受的「輕量級」人物。

他今天接受美國廣播公司新聞網（ABC News）訪問，談到伊朗新領袖時表示，「他必須得到我們的批准」，「如果沒有得到我們的認可，他撐不了多久。」

但是伊朗外交部長阿拉奇（Abbas Araghchi）強調，這完全是伊朗單方面的決定，「不允許任何人干涉我們內政」。阿拉奇稍早在美國國家廣播公司（NBC）「會晤新聞界」（Meet the Press）節目中，要求川普就這場不斷升級的戰爭「向區域內的人道歉」。

穆吉塔巴．哈米尼因與伊斯蘭革命衛隊（Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps）關係密切，被視為保守派人物。

以色列軍方已經對任何接班人選提出警告說：「我們會毫不猶豫將你鎖定為攻擊目標。」（編譯：何宏儒）1150309

2025年7月15日，美國能源部長克里斯‧賴特（Chris Wright）出席在賓州匹茲堡舉行的「賓夕法尼亞能源與創新峰會」，發表演說。（Samira Bouaou／英文大紀元）【大紀元2026年03月09日訊】（大紀元記者李思齊綜合報導）就目前全球能源價格飆升，美國能源部長週日（3月8日）表示，一旦美國摧毀伊朗在霍爾木茲海峽（Strait of Hormuz）襲擊油輪的能力後，能源價格將會下降。

自從美國和以色列對伊朗採取軍事行動以來，全球能源價格飆升，石油價格已超過每桶90美元，並且持續上漲。美國能源部長克里斯‧賴特（Chris Wright）3月8日表示：一旦美國削弱伊朗阻礙油輪通過霍爾木茲海峽的能力後，石油和天然氣價格就會開始下降。

據伊朗半官方媒體邁赫爾通訊社（Mehr）週日報導，伊朗專家會議（Assembly of Experts）成員、高級神職人員阿亞圖拉艾哈邁德‧阿拉姆‧霍達（Ayatollah Ahmad Alam al-Hoda）表示，專家會議已經選出最高領袖。選舉結果將由專家會議祕書處負責宣布。

截至目前，伊朗官方尚未對外公開新領袖是誰。以色列早已警告，無論選出的是誰，都將成為以軍追殺目標。

美國總統川普週日接受ABC新聞採訪時說，「他（伊朗新領導人）必須得到我們的批准。」

「如果他得不到我們的批准，在位時間都不會長。」他說。

他再次暗示，如果伊朗的新領袖和前任一樣糟糕，可能會迫使美國五年後重返戰爭。

「我不希望五年後不得不再重來一次，再次做同樣的事情，或者更糟糕的是，讓他們擁有了核武器。」他說。

當被問及是否願意批准一名與舊政權有關聯的人擔任伊朗領導人時，川普回答說，「為了選出一位好領導人，我會的，是的，我會的。有很多可能勝任的人選。」

川普近日曾多次解釋為何美國要參與選擇伊朗領導人的過程。他於週六（3月7日）在空軍一號上告訴媒體，他希望伊朗選擇一位不會把國家帶入戰爭的領導人。

上週四（3月5日），川普在接受多家媒體採訪時說，他本人必須參與伊朗新領導人的任命，以確保伊朗選出「一位能夠給伊朗帶來和睦與和平的人」。

「我們需要的是一位對人民、對國家都好的領導人。」他說。

上週二（3月3日），川普在白宮與德國總理默茨（Friedrich Merz）會晤期間談到了伊朗問題。他說，伊朗最糟糕的情況莫過於接管伊朗的人和之前的領導人一樣壞。

本週日在接受ABC採訪時，川普強調，在伊朗前領袖哈梅內伊的領導下，伊朗計劃占領整個中東，而美軍對伊朗的襲擊阻止了這一陰謀的發生。

美國和以色列一週前對伊朗發動了聯合打擊行動，擊斃了哈梅內伊等多名領導人。

「他們現是紙老虎。我告訴你，一週前他們可不是紙老虎。他們當時正準備發動進攻。」川普說，「他們的計劃是進攻整個中東，占領整個中東。」

總統沒有排除派遣特種部隊繳獲伊朗濃縮鈾的可能性。「一切皆有可能。」他說。

一位高級政府官員上週告訴媒體，伊朗已經濃縮了足夠的鈾，可以在10天或更短的時間內獲得武器級材料。

據這位官員說，大部分鈾據信存放在去年6月被美軍轟炸的三個地點——納坦茲（Natanz）、伊斯法罕（Isfahan）和福爾多（Fordow）。

「理論上講，如果我們能夠實際控制這些地區……我們就可以派人進去，就地稀釋鈾。」這位官員說。

3月8日（週日）上午八點多，川普總統在其真相社媒平台發帖說：「普雷斯勒在福克斯新聞《福克斯與朋友們》（Fox & Friends）節目中表現出色，他談到了如何利用冗長辯論（或稱談話式冗長辯論）來推動《拯救美國法案》。」

川普總統最後寫道：「全力以赴：必須出示選民身分證和公民身分證明；除軍人、病人、殘疾人、旅行等情況外，禁止郵寄選票；禁止男性參加女子運動比賽；禁止兒童變性手術！不要失敗！！！」

《拯救美國法案》要求選民在登記參加11月的期中選舉投票時提供公民身分證明，選舉官員若為未提供必要文件的人辦理選民登記將面臨刑事處罰。但部分民主黨官員稱，這會剝奪一些人的權利。

為什麼通過參議院難度大《拯救美國法案》已於今年2月通過了共和黨主導的眾議院，但在參議院仍面臨艱難的審議過程。

美國參議院目前有冗長辯論（Filibuster）制度（法案不能結束辯論就無法進入投票階段），60票結束辯論（法案通常需要60票才可以推進，去投票），因此少數黨用它來阻止立法。

冗長辯論最初是要求議員站在講台一直講話（談話式冗長辯論，Talking Filibuster）才算數。典型事件是，1957年參議員斯特羅姆‧瑟蒙德（Strom Thurmond）為反對民權法案，連續發言了24小時18分鐘。但冗長辯論在70年代被改成「不用講」的模式了，因此現在冗長辯論也被稱作沉默阻撓（Silent Filibuster）。

目前參議院共有100個席位，其中共和黨有53個席位，民主黨有48個席位，還有2個席位是獨立議員的席位。因此即使共和黨的參議院席位略多過民主黨，但通過該法案仍艱難。這就是為什麼有共和黨人提議取消目前「不用講」的冗長辯論（Filibuster），恢復到最初議員要到講台上去講的談話式冗長辯論。

普雷斯勒在週六（3月7日）接受了福克斯新聞的採訪。《福克斯與朋友們》節目主持人瑞秋‧坎波斯-達菲（Rachel Campos-Duffy）在一開始就問普雷斯勒，對德州總檢察長（Attorney General）肯‧帕克斯頓（Ken Paxton）3月5日公開表態的看法。

MISSION OF PEACE: The foreign minister urged Beijing to respect Taiwan’s existence as an independent nation, and work together to ensure peace and stability in the region

Minister of Foreign Affairs Lin Chia-lung (林佳龍) yesterday rejected Chinese Minister of Foreign Affairs Wang Yi’s (王毅) comments about Taiwan, criticizing China as a “troublemaker” in the international community and a disruptor of cross-strait peace.

Speaking at a news conference on the sidelines of the Chinese National People’s Congress, Wang said that Taiwan has always been a territory of China and that it would be impossible for it to become its own country.

The “return” of Taiwan to China was the natural outcome of the Chinese people’s resistance against Japan in World War II, and that any pursuit of independence was “doomed to fail,” he said, claiming that the Cairo Declaration, Potsdam Declaration, Japanese Instrument of Surrender and UN General Assembly Resolution 2758 determined Taiwan’s status.

“The Taiwan problem is a part of China’s internal affairs and at the very core of its interests. This red line must not be trampled on,” Wang said.

He added that other countries recognize Taiwan as part of China and oppose “Taiwanese independence,” claiming that “unification aligns with international expectations,” and that “it is a process that is inevitable.”

In Taipei, Lin said that “under the Republic of China [ROC], Taiwan has always been an independent sovereign country, and neither the ROC nor the PRC [People’s Republic of China] are subordinate to each other.”

“Whether based on historical facts, objective reality or international law, Taiwan’s sovereignty has never belonged to the PRC,” he said, adding that only Taiwanese have the right to decide the nation’s future.

Lin said that the Treaty of San Francisco in 1951 — a formal agreement signed between Japan and the Allied Powers after WWII — has replaced wartime declarations.

Taiwan’s liberalization and democratization, which began in the 1980s, and the nation’s first democratic presidential election in 1996, have established the ROC as the only legal government representing Taiwanese, he said, adding that the events have consolidated the “status quo” of cross-strait relations.

Exercises conducted by the Chinese military in the Taiwan Strait in the past few years have severely affected regional peace and stability, not Taiwan, he said.

Calling China a “troublemaker” in the international community and a “saboteur of cross-strait peace,” Lin urged Beijing to respect Taiwan’s existence as an independent nation, and work collaboratively to ensure peace and stability in the region.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) called on the international community to condemn China’s unilateral attempts to change the “status quo” through coercion, military threats and the arbitrary intimidation of other countries.

Separately, in response to Wang’s remarks, the Mainland Affairs Council vowed to uphold the freedom and democracy of the ROC.

“We believe that maintaining the status quo is in the best interests of the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait,” it said.

POSSIBILITIES EMERGE: With Taiwan’s victory and Japan’s narrow win over Australia, Taiwan now have a chance to advance if South Korea also beat the Aussies

Taiwan has high hopes that the national baseball team would advance to the World Baseball Classic (WBC) quarter-finals after clinching a crucial 5-4 victory over South Korea in a nail-biting extra-inning game at the Tokyo Dome yesterday.

Boosted by three home runs — two solo shots by Yu Chang (張育成) and Cheng Tsung-che (鄭宗哲) and a two-run homer by Stuart Fairchild — the triumph gave Taiwan a much-needed second victory in the five-team Pool C, where only the top two finishers would advance to the knockout stage in Miami, Florida.

Entering extra innings with the game tied at four apiece, Taiwan scored a run in the top of the 10th inning to take the lead. Closer Tseng Jyun-yue (曾峻岳) then sealed the victory with three quick outs.

The win marks the first time Taiwan’s national squad beat their South Korean counterparts in the WBC after losing four previous matchups.

In a post-game interview, manager Tseng Hao-jiu (曾豪駒) attributed the victory to the all-out efforts made by every player.

“I think everyone did their job well. [They] focused on every pitch and did not leave anything on the field,” he said.

“Because we all know that in this game, if you make a slight mistake, victory would be snatched away. I am grateful to all the players for focusing on winning this one,” Tseng told a Taiwanese sports reporter following the game.

Before yesterday’s match, Taiwan — whose sole win in the group came from crushing the Czech Republic 14-0 in a mercy-rule victory on Saturday — needed to beat South Korea yesterday, while hoping Japan would defeat Australia in the evening, with South Korea then going on to beat Australia today.

Japan last night narrowly beat Australia 4-3.

Gasoline, diesel prices to rise amid war in Middle East

CPC Corp, Taiwan (台灣中油) and Formosa Petrochemical Corp (台塑石化) yesterday announced that they would increase their gasoline and diesel prices for a second consecutive week, as an escalating conflict in the Middle East continues to disrupt the region’s tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and forces some oil producers to reduce output.

Premier Cho Jung-tai (卓榮泰) called for calm and said the government would implement measures to absorb about 60 percent of price increases to keep domestic fuel prices from rising too sharply.

Cho also urged people to work with the government to weather this difficult period.

Effective today, gasoline prices are to rise by NT$1.5 per liter to NT$28.9, NT$30.4 and NT$32.4 for 92, 95 and 98-octane unleaded gasoline respectively at CPC and Formosa stations, the companies said in separate statements.

The cost of premium diesel is to increase by NT$1.1 per liter to NT$28.1 at CPC stations and NT$27.9 at Formosa pumps, they said.

CPC said that, based on its weighted oil price formula of 70 percent Dubai crude and 30 percent Brent, gasoline and diesel prices should have increased by NT$5.4 and NT$4.8 per liter this week respectively, as the Middle East conflict disrupted oil flows and led to a surge in international crude oil prices last week.

The company would absorb part of the increasing costs to cap weekly price hikes at about 5 percent in compliance with the government’s policies of stabilizing consumer prices and keeping domestic fuel prices lower than in major neighboring markets, it said.

Formosa set its prices in line with CPC after accounting for trends in the global oil market, price conditions in regional economies, the New Taiwan dollar exchange rate and fierce competition in the domestic market, it said.

The companies’ announcements came after crude oil prices last week rose for the third consecutive week and posted the largest weekly gains over the past four decades as oil supply woes deepen.

Front-month Brent crude oil futures — the international oil benchmark — last week surged 27.2 percent to settle at US$92.69 per barrel on the Intercontinental Exchange in London, while West Texas Intermediate crude oil futures — the US oil gauge — jumped 35.63 percent to US$90.9 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

China’s top diplomat yesterday signaled that Beijing is prioritizing a stabilization of ties with Washington, even as he issued a pointed critique of US military actions in the Middle East.

Chinese Minister of Foreign Affairs Wang Yi (王毅), speaking at his high-profile annual briefing on the sidelines of the Chinese National People’s Congress, declared that this year could be a defining year for the bilateral relationship despite the attack on Iran, one of Beijing’s strategic partners in the region.

“When the two sides treat each other with sincerity and good faith,” Wang said, the two powers would be able to “make 2026 a landmark year of sound, steady and sustainable development of China-US relations.”

His comments come weeks ahead of a planned summit between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平) in Beijing.

Wang urged both sides to manage risks and “remove unnecessary disruptions.”

Wang called for an immediate ceasefire in the Middle East, saying “this is a war that shouldn’t have happened.”

He repeated Beijing’s earlier refrain that “plotting color revolutions or seeking regime change will find no popular support.”

Yet, he gave no indication the conflict would affect the summit.

The remarks amounted to the clearest signal yet that Beijing intends to shield the bilateral relationship even as US strikes on Iran threaten China’s energy supplies and test its regional partnerships.

Trump’s “Donroe Doctrine” — his rebranding of a 19th-century policy asserting Washington’s zone of influence in the Americas is crashing into Xi’s flagship Belt and Road and Global Security initiatives, which have been decades in the making and carry significant personal political investment for the Chinese leader.

Trump has also threatened military action against Colombia and Mexico and said that Cuba’s communist regime “looks like it’s ready to fall” on its own, raising questions for Latin American countries over how their China ties might protect them if put to the test.

China’s foreign policy has not faced this much scrutiny since the Cold War, University of Tennessee, Knoxville historian Yasser Nasser said.

“In some senses it is existential in that it reveals that Chinese economic commitments or commitments to arms deals, for example, do not translate to directly confronting the US or preventing interventions as, for example, it did during the Vietnam War.”

In an apparent rejection of Trump’s idea of a G2 — the world run by the US and China — Wang said that Beijing is committed to multilateralism, including relationships with the Global South.

Wang added he was pleased to see “European friends stepping out of the small attic of protectionism” and moving toward Chinese markets.

Beijing has grown more belligerent in its backyard over the past year, analysts say.

It has held massive war games around Taiwan, escalated a diplomatic spat with Tokyo over remarks by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi that a Chinese attack on Taiwan could trigger a military response from Tokyo, and repeatedly confronted Philippine ships in disputed areas of the South China Sea.

WOLF AT THE DOOR: The proposed special defense budget is reasonable, even modest compared to countries like Japan or South Korea’s annual defense budgets   By Huang Cheng-chia, Li Wen-hsin and William Hetherington / Staff reporters, with staff writer

The Executive Yuan’s proposal to allocate NT$1.25 trillion (US$39.3 billion) for defense over eight years is reasonable, especially compared with the defense budgets of Japan and South Korea, President William Lai (賴清德) said yesterday.

Speaking during a visit to Jieyun Temple (接雲寺) in New Taipei City, Lai compared increased defense spending to installing security systems at home to prevent burglaries.

With a “bad neighbor” like China, strengthening national defense is essential, he said, calling on the public to unite in safeguarding national security.

The Executive Yuan’s version of the proposed defense special budget was referred to committee on Thursday after being blocked for more than three months by the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) and the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP).

Both opposition parties have introduced their own versions of the budget, with proposed funding levels less than one-third of the Executive Yuan’s proposal.

Lai said the Executive Yuan’s plan would enable the armed forces to acquire improved weapons and systems to better safeguard national and social security. Spread over eight years, the proposal would amount to only NT$156 billion per year, he said.

“Because our economy is improving and tax revenues are increasing, we absolutely have the ability” to make such arrangements, Lai said. “In comparison, South Korea’s defense budget this year is also about NT$1.4 trillion, while Japan’s is about NT$1.8 trillion.”

In related developments, the Legislative Yuan is to hold elections on Wednesday for conveners of its eight standing committees. The Foreign Affairs and National Defense Committee is widely seen by the ruling and opposition camps as a key battleground, as it reviews issues related to US-Taiwan tariffs and the proposed special defense budget.

According to committee member lists submitted by the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and the KMT, both parties have increased their representation on the committee by one to two seats.

The committee is expected to comprise seven DPP lawmakers, seven KMT lawmakers and one TPP lawmaker, raising the possibility that Legislative Speaker Han Kuo-yu (韓國瑜) could personally attend meetings to cast a vote.

According to the submitted lists, DPP members would include Wang Ting-yu (王定宇), Chen Kuan-ting (陳冠廷), Chen Chun-yu (陳俊宇), Lo Mei-ling (羅美玲), Lin Chu-yin (林楚茵), Puma Shen (沈伯洋) and Wang Yi-chuan (王義川).

KMT members would include Han, Ma Wen-chun (馬文君), Hsu Chiao-hsin (徐巧芯), Chen Yeong-kang (陳永康), Huang Jen (黃仁), Niu Hsu-ting (牛煦庭) and Huang Chien-pin (黃建賓).

The TPP has assigned deputy caucus whip Wang An-hsiang (王安祥) to the committee.

During the previous four legislative sessions, the committee comprised six DPP lawmakers, five KMT lawmakers and one TPP lawmaker. Although Han and Legislative Yuan Deputy Speaker Johnny Chiang (江啟臣) were listed as members, they did not participate in committee operations in accordance with legislative convention.

Chen Kuan-ting, who is expected to be selected as one of the committee’s new conveners, said in an interview that the DPP increased its representation in hopes of strengthening policy discussions and professional review at a time when national security concerns and international developments are rapidly evolving.

The committee handles not only military affairs, but international developments, foreign cooperation and efforts to strengthen security resilience, he said, adding the aim is to ensure national security policies receive comprehensive and professional deliberation.

REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK: Cho’s trip suggests rewriting of unwritten rulesBy Lin Tsuei-yi and William Hetherington Staff reporter in Tok / with staff writer

Premier Cho Jung-tai’s (卓榮泰) brief visit to the Tokyo Dome on Saturday — the first sitting Taiwanese premier to visit Japan since Taipei and Tokyo severed diplomatic ties 54 years ago — could be an inidication that Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s government is redefining boundaries with Taiwan.

In 2004, then-premier You Si-kun briefly stopped in Okinawa while returning from a visit to diplomatic allies in Central America, but the stopover was necessitated by a typhoon.

Although Cho’s trip on Saturday was kept confidential and low-key — described simply as a visit to watch a baseball game with no political agenda — it still represents a departure from established practice, given the sensitivity of Taiwan-Japan relations for Tokyo’s ties with Beijing.

Since Takaichi took office, China has repeatedly pressured Japan over Taiwan-related issues. Traditionally, when relations between Japan and China deteriorate, Tokyo has tended to scale back visible engagement with Taiwan to avoid provoking Beijing.

Cho’s visit might indicate those diplomatic “unwritten rules” may be shifting under the Takaichi administration. The space for Taiwan-Japan interaction appears to be gradually expanding, and the limits of engagement may no longer be defined solely by Beijing.

Since Japan switched diplomatic recognition to China in 1972, Taiwan and Japan have maintained unofficial ties, with the Japan-Taiwan Exchange Association handling most consular and diplomatic functions in lieu of a formal embassy.

In the past few years, as security concerns in the Taiwan Strait have intensified, Japan’s government and political circles have shown increasing support for Taiwan. At the same time, Tokyo has generally avoided actions that would

challenge the framework established when it normalized relations with Beijing.

In practice, this has meant expanding exchanges with Taiwan while carefully controlling the level of official contact. Senior Taiwanese officials visiting Japan have typically done so in an extremely low-profile manner.

In 2022, then-vice president William Lai (賴清德) traveled to Tokyo privately to attend the funeral of Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe following his assassination. Japanese authorities reportedly even confirmed whether Lai had a genuine personal relationship with Abe before allowing the visit.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Lin Chia-lung (林佳龍) also quietly visited Japan last year. In interviews with Japanese media, Lin said that he was traveling in a private capacity and noted that Taiwanese citizens enjoy visa-free entry to Japan, meaning he could visit as an ordinary traveler.

For decades, a diplomatic “red line” has existed between Japan and China regarding Taiwan. While Japan may deepen substantive relations with Taiwan, it has generally avoided actions that could be interpreted as recognizing Taiwan as a sovereign state or undermining the “one China” framework.

In practical terms, this means refraining from establishing formal diplomatic ties with Taiwan, avoiding official visits by senior leaders, steering clear of security alliances or military cooperation and not signing agreements implying Taiwanese sovereignty.

These limits have never been formally codified, but instead have evolved through diplomatic practice. Beijing effectively signals the boundaries through protests or political pressure when it believes they have been crossed.

Over time, this produced an informal rule in Japan: when relations with China worsen, interactions with Taiwan should not be overly visible.

After Takaichi took office, Japan-China relations quickly plummeted. Allowing a sitting Taiwanese premier to visit Japan — even if framed as a private baseball outing — risks inflaming tensions. Some Japanese media outlets have already raised the possibility of a Chinese backlash.

Last year, when Takaichi said during a parliamentary session that a Taiwan contingency could threaten Japan’s survival, China responded by increasing pressure on Tokyo — pressure that has yet to fully ease.

However, Beijing’s reaction appears to have had an unexpected domestic effect. In a snap House of Representatives election, Takaichi led the ruling Liberal Democratic Party to a historic victory with 316 seats. The result could indicate that for many Japanese voters, security concerns in the Taiwan Strait outweigh the diplomatic sensitivities of Japan-China relations.

Against this backdrop, Japan’s tacit approval of a visit by a sitting Taiwanese premier may signal that the Takaichi administration is redefining these diplomatic boundaries.

Wang Hung-jen (王宏仁), professor of political science at National Cheng Kung University, said Cho’s visit represents a more significant breakthrough than Lai’s condolence trip or Lin Chia-lung’s low-profile visit.

Despite continued Chinese pressure and ongoing tensions between Tokyo and Beijing,

Japan was still willing to facilitate Cho’s visit, Wang said. This might suggest the “China factor” shaping Japan’s Taiwan policy may be weakening.

Chen Fang-yu (陳方隅), associate professor of political science at Soochow University, said warming Taiwan-Japan relations are the result of years of diplomatic groundwork.

Through sustained diplomatic engagement, Taiwan’s senior officials can visit Japan in a private capacity, he said. The fact that such visits can receive visas and even be publicly reported represents a significant step forward in bilateral ties.

“As an abnormal country,” Taiwan must pursue diplomatic breakthroughs step by step, Chen said.

title: Driver’s license test changes announced

content_text:
UPDATED TEST: The new rules aim to assess drivers’ awareness of risky behaviors and how they respond under certain circumstances, the Highway Bureau said

Driver’s license applicants who fail to yield to pedestrians at intersections or to check blind spots, or omit pointing-and-calling procedures would fail the driving test, the Highway Bureau said yesterday.

The change is set to be implemented at the end of the month, and is part of the bureau’s reform of the driving portion of the test, which has been criticized for failing to assess whether drivers can operate vehicles safely.

Sedan drivers would be tested regarding yielding to pedestrians and turning their heads to check blind spots, while drivers of large vehicles would be tested on their familiarity with pointing-and-calling procedures, where drivers point at an important indicator or hazard and call out its status to ensure safety, the bureau said.

A testing site for the Highway Bureau’s revised driving portion of the driver’s license test is pictured in an undated photograph. Photo courtesy of the Highway Bureau

Failure to perform any of the above tasks would result in a deduction of 32 points.

The passing grade for the driving test is 70 out of 100.

The change aims to enhance drivers’ awareness regarding stopping and yielding to pedestrians, the bureau said.

Since Jan. 30, the written test for a motorcycle driving license has consisted entirely of 50 multiple-choice questions, with no true-or-false items.

Car drivers are scheduled to take the same test format in June, with 20 percent of the questions specifically designed to assess drivers’ awareness of risky behaviors and their responses under certain circumstance.

Preparations for the scoring criteria and grade record forms have been completed, and the documents would be published in the Government Gazette, the bureau said.

Motor vehicle offices and driving schools around the nation would adjust their scoring boards at test sites, too, it said, adding that all preparations are scheduled to be completed by March 31.

ROC Automotive Driving Education Association chairman Chen Yong-chin (陳永親) said that aside from continuing to improve training for applicants, driving schools are also updating the signage for point deductions, in response to the changes in on-site driving test items, adding that they aim to complete the updates as soon as possible.

There are 216 small-vehicle driving schools and 36 large-vehicle driving schools across Taiwan, bureau statistics showed.

Last year, 243,000 people took the small-vehicle driving test, and 16,000 took the large-vehicle driving test, the bureau said.


title: Lai urges more support for women

President William Lai (賴清德) yesterday said Taiwan could become “more powerful” if women are given more support and choice in society.

“When a society is willing to give women more support and room for choices, Taiwan will not only become kinder, but also more powerful,” Lai said in a post on social marking International Women’s Day.

As year’s International Women’s Day theme is to “give to gain,” Lai said he hoped every Taiwanese woman, whether striving in the workplace or cultivating a family, could “freely become her ideal self.”

The Local Government Act (地方制度法) was amended last year to change the quota for elected representatives from “one-quarter female reserved seats” to one-third for any gender, Lai said.

The change is intended to make political participation “more fair” and allow more women to demonstrate their expertise and influence, he added.

The government has also promulgated the nation’s first national action plan on gender-based violence prevention, Lai said.

The plan aims to integrate violence-prevention resources to “build a more comprehensive and complete gender equality protection network,” he said.

Lai said he believes “when more women can freely flourish, this strength will allow Taiwan to go further.”

Vice President Hsiao Bi-khim (蕭美琴) yesterday wrote on social media that women can “shine” in fields where they are most skilled.

Women “can focus on contributing to their families and have indispensable roles in the workplace,” Hsiao said, adding that she hopes every girl could “freely become her ideal self,” remaining “confident, resilient and radiant.”

TAIFEX strengthens commitment to gender equality through global initiative

To celebrate this year’s International Women’s Day, Taiwan Futures Exchange (TAIFEX) once again joined the World Federation of Exchanges (WFE) “Ring the Bell for Gender Equality” initiative. Led by chairman Wu Tzu-hsin (吳自心) and chief executive officer Chou Chien-lung (周建隆), female executives and managers gathered in support at the exchange in Taipei on Friday, reaffirming TAIFEX’s commitment to gender equality and inclusion under the “TAIFEX Cares” spirit.

The “Ring the Bell for Gender Equality” campaign is a collaborative effort by the WFE in partnership with several international organizations, including UN Sustainable Stock Exchanges, UN Global Compact and UN Women. This year, more than 110 exchanges and clearinghouses worldwide participated, underscoring the capital markets’ ongoing focus on gender equality and women’s empowerment.

TAIFEX has long integrated environmental, social and governance (ESG) and corporate social responsibility into business strategy, fostering a fair and inclusive workplace. As of this year, women represent approximately 34 percent of the exchange’s workforce and 45 percent of its management positions, and hold half of executive roles. TAIFEX also encourages domestic futures commission merchants to increase female board representation to one-third to enhance diversity at the decision-making level and support the industry’s long-term development.

Beyond workplace, TAIFEX promotes gender equality through community engagement, including its continued support for the “Young Women’s Independent Living Program,” which assists young women from disadvantaged families. TAIFEX also sponsors the Xinzhuang Elementary School Girls’ handball team. Through these efforts, TAIFEX aims to expand opportunities for women and contribute to a more inclusive society.

As Taiwan remains among Asia’s leaders in gender equality, TAIFEX will continue to leverage its role by working alongside market participants to foster a more inclusive and sustainable financial marketplace and advance long-term progress toward gender equality.

In an op-ed published in Foreign Affairs on Tuesday, Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Chairwoman Cheng Li-wun (鄭麗文) said that Taiwan should not have to choose between aligning with Beijing or Washington, and advocated for cooperation with Beijing under the so-called “1992 consensus” as a form of “strategic ambiguity.”

However, Cheng has either misunderstood the geopolitical reality and chosen appeasement, or is trying to fool an international audience with her doublespeak; nonetheless, it risks sending the wrong message to Taiwan’s democratic allies and partners.

Cheng stressed that “Taiwan does not have to choose,” as while Beijing and Washington compete, Taiwan is strongest when it pursues its own needs, using its agency to reduce regional tension and prevent conflict.

Her ideal approach is to maintain economic ties and expand exchanges with China under the “1992 consensus” and create “deterrence with dialogue” by setting up direct crisis communication channels with Beijing, while deepening technological cooperation and sharing a commitment to democratic values with the US.

She also claimed that the KMT recognizes the importance of deterrence, but said that “defense spending alone cannot create peace,” while only “cooperation with Beijing” can.

Cheng’s assumption that “Taiwan doesn’t have to choose” overlooks China’s rapid military expansion in the past decade and its shrinking of Taiwan’s international space through diplomatic isolation, economic pressure and military intimidation.

Cheng ignored that it is Beijing’s core and longstanding goal to annex Taiwan, and that it does not recognize Taiwan’s sovereignty nor accept Taiwan having the agency to choose its own path.

Her claim of the “1992 consensus” acting as a formula for “one China, with respective interpretations” and thus justifying engagement with China is also a lie, as Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平) in 2019 explicitly said that the “1992 consensus” means “both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to one China and will work together toward national reunification,” leaving no room for ambiguity.

Considering the geopolitical reality of an intensifying threat from authoritarian China and the efforts of a democratic alliance — primarily led by the US, the G7 members and the EU — to deter increasing coercion and military buildup, Taiwan “not choosing” is a choice in itself. Due to Taiwan’s free and democratic system, its critical position in the strategic first island chain and Indo-Pacific security architecture, and its irreplaceable role in the global democratic supply chain, it has already aligned itself with the democratic alliance. Therefore, Cheng’s suggestion of taking a “neutral” stance but advocating for cooperation with China, as well as the KMT’s persistent efforts to block or significantly cut the special national defense budget, is a signal of the KMT cozying up to Beijing while pulling away from Washington and the democratic alliance.

Furthermore, the KMT’s stance risks sending the wrong message to Taiwan’s democratic allies that it is not determined to defend itself and is unwilling to play its part in the democratic alliance’s collective resilience and security buildup. It could lead to the US, Japan and other democracies reconsidering their policies towards Taiwan and their willingness to act against China if a conflict breaks out.

While Cheng says that “cross-strait peace requires more than goodwill,” her plan to “engage economically and culturally with the mainland [China] while maintaining a democratic system and strategic partnerships” is wishful thinking and a misunderstanding (or purposeful omission) of the core meaning of “deterrence.”

Deterrence is the ability to alter an adversary’s cost-benefit calculus — where the perceived costs of aggression outweigh the potential gain — so that they decide against taking an undesired action, relying on capability (ability to punish or deny), credibility (believable resolve) and communication (clear messaging of consequences).

Cheng has distorted this theory by wishfully hoping on “communication” — not on the clear messaging of the costs of aggression, but on building closer contact and exchanges with Beijing while anticipating a goodwill response. At the same time, the KMT is weakening Taiwan’s capability and credibility to deter China’s annexation ambitions through its legislators’ actions.

History has shown that appeasement and yielding to aggressors to avoid conflict only embolden and feed their ambition, rather than ensuring peace. While Cheng’s claims seem rational, moderate and peace-loveing on the surface, they are full of geopolitical misjudgments and critical lies, and voters should carefully scrutinize the KMT lawmakers’ actions to understand their real agenda.

content_text:
US Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng (何立峰) are expected to meet this month in Paris to prepare for a meeting between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平). According to media reports, the two sides would discuss issues such as the potential purchase of Boeing aircraft by China, increasing imports of US soybeans and the latest impacts of Trump’s reciprocal tariffs.

However, recent US military action against Iran has added uncertainty to the Trump-Xi summit. Chinese Minister of Foreign Affairs Wang Yi (王毅) called the joint US-Israeli airstrikes and the killing of Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei “unacceptable,” and called for an immediate ceasefire and a return to negotiations.

Meanwhile, although the White House has confirmed that Trump would visit Beijing from March 31 to April 2, Chinese authorities have not formally announced the itinerary.

Beijing has strongly condemned the US, but it has not taken any substantial military action against it. Given that China is an important market for Iranian crude oil, it can only resort to diplomatic means to avoid harming its own interests.

The potential impact of the US-Iran war on the Trump-Xi meeting can be considered at four levels. First is the political signaling. Beijing has responded to US action with tough language. In doing so, it elevates the conflict from a pure military confrontation to an issue concerning international order and sovereignty, seeking to gain a stronger voice in the international discourse.

Second is the practical constraints. China might sound tough, but its leverage is limited. China is one of the largest importers of Iranian crude oil — a blockade of the Persian Gulf or a disruption of supplies would impact both Chinese and global markets. Beijing is more likely to criticize the US and promote diplomatic mediation rather than military intervention.

The third regards the summit’s overall structure. Chinese authorities have not yet formally announced the itinerary for Trump’s visit, meaning that the meeting has not been finalized and could be adjusted at any time. Using a summit’s timing as a diplomatic tool is a common negotiating tactic that expresses dissatisfaction without resorting to direct confrontation.

Lastly is the calculating strategic interests. The key question for Beijing is whether it is worthwhile to “flip the negotiating table” over events occurring in the Middle East. Current signs suggest otherwise — high-level US-China economic and trade talks in Paris are already being arranged, indicating that channels of communication between the two countries are still open. Even if the summit was adjusted, it would not necessarily signal a complete diplomatic breakdown.

The US and Israel’s military strikes against Iran have disturbed the fragile work of easing tensions between the US and China. Furthermore, China’s response to the situation has remained relatively restrained, largely due to concerns that Iran might blockade the Strait of Hormuz, which would disrupt roughly 20 percent of the world’s oil supply. China is more concerned over stabilizing relations with the US than allowing a single event in the Middle East completely overturn bilateral interactions. The US’ military strength has already served as a clear reminder to Beijing of the gap in military capabilities that exists between the two countries. Determining how to condemn US actions while simultaneously preserving space for dialogue has therefore become a key decision in Chinese policy.

Finally, insufficient coordination between the two sides’ teams have hindered preparations for the upcoming Trump-Xi summit, causing considerable concern in China. However, Taiwan cannot afford to simply watch from the sidelines. The Legislative Yuan is still locked in a partisan tug-of-war over the scale of the special defense budget, but what must not be diluted is the political signal of Taiwan’s resolve to defend itself. Taiwan must recognize that allies’ commitments can be reprioritized at any time due to the interests of major powers. Only by accelerating the implementation of defense autonomy and maintaining strategic composure can Taiwan secure its own survival and development opportunities amidst this turbulent geopolitical contest between the US and China.

‘CHALLENGING’:  The first race of the season tested Formula One’s new-look cars for the first time in competitive conditions, with some drivers struggling to finish

George Russell yesterday kept his cool to win a frantic season-opening Australian Grand Prix from Mercedes teammate Kimi Antonelli after a thrilling battle with Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc.

The pole-sitting Briton took the checkered flag by 2.974 seconds in Melbourne with Leclerc third and Lewis Hamilton fourth in a race that tested Formula One’s new-look cars for the first time in competitive conditions.

World champion Lando Norris came fifth — 51 seconds adrift — in his McLaren with Red Bull’s Max Verstappen a sensational sixth after starting from 20th following a crash in qualifying, but there was disaster for home hero Oscar Piastri, who crashed on his out-lap to the grid and failed to start with major damage to his McLaren.

With the virtual safety car repeatedly brought out, preseason favorite Russell stayed calm to clock a sixth Grand Prix win and his first since Singapore last year.

“Feeling incredible. It was a hell of a fight in the beginning,” Russell said. “We knew it was going to be challenging.”

“I made a bad start and some really tight battles with Charles at the start. Just really glad to cross the finish line,” he added.

Under new rules, half of every power unit now is a battery, and drivers had to recharge while braking or by lifting off the throttle to avoid it draining.

The challenge of Melbourne’s 58-lap Albert Park Circuit was its long sweeping straights, which deplete batteries, and relatively few twisty turns to brake and charge it up again.

Five cars failed to finish as they grappled with the changes, including Piastri, Audi’s Nico Hulkenberg, Red Bull’s Isack Hadjar, Cadillac’s Valtteri Bottas and Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso.

“Was not the best start we could have wished for, lost a lot of places, and I had to recover,” said Italy’s Antonelli, who crashed heavily on Saturday and only just made qualifying after a major car rebuild.

“But overall was a good race, the pace was really strong especially at the end,” he added.

In fine conditions, Haas’ Ollie Bearman was seventh and rookie Arvid Lindblad eighth in his Racing Bull. Audi’s Gabriel Bortoleto and Alpine’s Pierre Gasly rounded out the top 10.

“It was a very, very tricky race. None of us knew what to expect,” Leclerc said. “It has been quite challenging. It looked like Mercedes had a bit more pace than us today.”

When the lights turned green, Leclerc, on medium tires, got a jump on Russell while Antonelli, who started second, slid down to seventh.

Hamilton also had a flying start for Ferrari and surged to third, ahead of Hadjar.

Russell immediately hit back, reclaiming the lead on lap two before Leclerc responded a lap later to go first again as they and Hamilton began pulling clear.

It morphed into a thrilling wheel-to-wheel battle at the front, with the lead changing hands three times on lap eight as Russell and Leclerc fought for supremacy.

The virtual safety car came out on lap 12 when Hadjar’s car stopped with Russell and Antonelli pitting and coming back on hards.

Leclerc and Hamilton stayed out and when they resumed, the Ferraris were 10 seconds clear of Russell, with Lindblad, Antonelli and Verstappen making up the top six. The virtual safety car was again deployed when Bottas retired with Russell eight seconds behind the Scuderia when they got going again.

With his tires starting to wear, Leclerc pitted on lap 26, but Hamilton stayed out and was passed by Russell before coming in.

Russell radioed that he thought a one-stop race was viable, and he began pulling clear, with Antonelli second.

There was no way back for the Ferraris, who were 15 seconds behind and barely made a dent in the Mercedes advantage in the second half of the race.

The season moves to China next weekend before Japan. Rounds four and five are scheduled for Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, but are under threat given the war in Iran.

〔記者梁偉銘／綜合報導〕來自美國的外籍生張傑瑋以小搏大，拚出13分、10助攻的雙十演出，力助洋基工程107：92踢館台鋼獵鷹，本賽季也是隊史第2勝終於到手。

身為PLG新軍，洋基工程開季迄今相當辛苦，賽前戰績1勝10負在4隊墊底，不過週日作客台南府城，已當爸爸的張傑瑋展現絕佳狀態，先發上陣39分鐘，10投6中外圍火力支援，組織傳導送出全隊最高10助攻，另貢獻6籃板、4抄截，攻守表現全方位，加上身高230公分巨人德古拉一柱擎天，攜手柯瓦隆包辦44分，開賽帶給獵鷹鋒衛沉重壓力，第3節14：4猛攻更取得雙位數領先，最終不但終止對戰5連敗，也是客場6連敗後開胡。

至於戰績第2的獵鷹，週六主場輸給台北富邦勇士，隔日未能重振旗鼓，禁區失守慘遭洋基工程洋將肆虐，籃板球41：54落後，三分球命中率也不及對手，以前鋒陳范柏彥攻下21分最佳，爆冷苦吞2連敗。

韓國媒體痛批韓國隊表現。（資料照，記者林正堃攝）

〔即時新聞／綜合報導〕2026年世界棒球經典賽（WBC）台韓大戰掀起震撼，台灣隊與韓國激戰至延長賽第10局，最終以5比4逆轉擊敗韓國。韓國媒體賽後痛批，「一支連台灣隊都贏不了的球隊，還談什麼世界級表現，簡直荒謬至極」。韓國網友也崩潰喊，「除了金倒永以外，全部給我游回來」。

韓媒https://www.sportsseoul.com/news/read/1591710 target="_blank">《sportsseoul》 報導，韓國隊在本屆WBC由柳志炫總教練領軍，賽前曾高喊要闖進決賽地點邁阿密，但如今這樣的豪語已在東京巨蛋的冷空氣中消散。繼不敵日本後，韓國又敗給台灣，除非奇蹟發生，否則晉級8強的希望相當渺茫。

報導指出，雖然這次「晚接午」對決台灣，但撇開賽程，從熱身賽開始，韓國隊牛棚就控制不佳，在正式賽事中又沒有改善，加上守備判斷失誤與戰術調度不足，使整支球隊在關鍵時刻頻頻崩盤。也讓報導痛批，「一支連台灣隊都贏不了的球隊，還談什麼世界級表現，簡直荒謬至極」。

這場敗仗不只是失利，更讓韓國棒球陷入「近乎絕望」的局面，韓國網友紛紛崩潰喊，「今天除了金倒永，其他全都爛透了」、「教練糟透了」、「韓國球員薪水在漲，但實力好像沒漲」、「代打跟守備配合亂七八糟」、「李政厚戴什麼Van Cleef（梵克雅寶）項鍊，結果4打數0安打，呵呵」、「除了金倒永以外，全部給我游回來」、「雖然很遺憾，但還是減薪吧」。

此時，古林強忍淚水繼續說，「去年至今我都在國外，台灣球迷為我們加油，大家真的都團結在一起，回想到小時候看國家隊的感覺，謝謝球迷和隊友，有一場這麼感動的比賽。」這場台韓戰湧入4萬0584人進場觀戰，台灣應援團加油聲勢浩大，讓古林非常感動。

古林表示，今天他幾乎沒有讓對手揮空，真的很感謝守備幫忙，打擊在前面幾局幫他打下分數，投起來很安心，也謝謝球迷從他走上投手丘、到被換下場、再到比賽結束，他們真的非常熱情，非常感動。

古林也向球迷喊話，「不要只有贏球才喜歡我們，前面比賽打得不是很好，但我知道球隊的實力在哪裡，大家一直在努力，不管怎樣希望可以幫我們加油，賽季前打這個比賽很辛苦，也很難調整，我們很棒！」

賽後古林向媒體透露，前幾局右手指背有點破皮，但不影響投球，投到後面單純就是有點疲勞，球沒辦法控制。

【大紀元2026年03月09日訊】（大紀元記者張婷綜合報導）哥倫比亞週日（3月8日）舉行國會參、眾兩院選舉，此次選舉將決定哥倫比亞下一任國家元首的政治格局，並檢驗曾經強大的右翼是否準備好重奪政治主導地位。

綜合路透社和美聯社的報導，這次選舉在全國高度警戒的情況下進行，人們越來越擔心選舉期間出現政治暴力，尤其是在由非法武裝組織控制的農村地區。

國防部長佩德羅‧桑切斯（Pedro Sanchez）本週表示，約24.6萬名軍人和國家警察已進入高度戒備狀態，以防止非法武裝團體發動襲擊，擾亂選舉或脅迫選民投票給特定候選人。

投票站於當地時間週日上午8點開放，下午4點關閉。

哥倫比亞共有4,120萬名符合資格的選民。3,000多名候選人正在競逐285個國會席位——其中參議院102席，眾議院183席。

分析人士預測，這次選舉的席位可能會分散在二十多個政黨之間，這很可能迫使下一任總統組建聯合政府。

在左翼領導人、現總統古斯塔沃‧佩特羅（Gustavo Petro）執政期間，國會越來越成為其政策的制衡力量，這與過去形成了對比——在過去，國會往往與總統保持一致。

哥倫比亞現任國會批准了佩特羅的養老金和勞工改革方案，但否決了他提出的醫療保健和稅收改革方案，他與議員之間的關係也經常緊張。

與此同時，右翼反對派正尋求重奪政治主導地位。哥倫比亞主要反對黨的民主中心黨（The Democratic Center）受到前總統阿爾瓦羅‧烏里韋（Álvaro Uribe）的影響，正動員其支持者，力圖在總統大選前確保在立法機構中占據穩固地位。

在舉行國會選舉的同時，哥倫比亞民眾也投票選擇該國三大政治陣營——中間派、中左派和右翼——的總統候選人。這三個類似於美國初選的「黨際磋商」（interparty consultations）的獲勝者將參加總統大選，首輪總統選舉定於5月31日舉行。

（中央社杜拜8日綜合外電報導）一名參與新任最高領袖遴選投票的伊朗高級神職人員暗示，遇刺最高領袖哈米尼次子穆吉塔巴．哈米尼將接班。當局尚未正式公告；以色列已經威脅選出的任何人都將成為目標。

路透社報導，伊朗專家會議（Assembly of Experts）88名成員之一的艾希克瓦利（Hosseinali Eshkevari）在伊朗媒體發布的影片中表示：「哈米尼這個名字將會延續下去。」

外界普遍預期，現年56歲、與其父同樣立場強硬的神職人員穆吉塔巴．哈米尼（Mojtaba Khamenei）將接替哈米尼成為這個伊斯蘭共和國最高領袖。

若消息獲得證實，可能會引發美國總統川普強烈不滿。川普曾表示，他應該在新領袖遴選過程中扮演角色，這項要求已經遭到伊朗徹底拒絕。他也說過，哈米尼之子是不可接受的「輕量級」人物。

川普今天重申，華府應該參與接班人遴選。他告訴美國廣播公司新聞網（ABC News）：「如果沒有得到我們的認可，他撐不了多久。」

《TAIPEI TIMES》 REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK: Cho’s trip suggests rewriting of unwritten rulesTaiwanese baseball fans greet Premier Cho Jung-tai, center, at the World Baseball Classic game between Taiwan and the Czech Republic in Tokyo on Saturday.Photo: CNA

By Lin Tsuei-yi and William Hetherington Staff reporter in Tokyo, / with staff writer

Premier Cho Jung-tai’s （卓榮泰） brief visit to the Tokyo Dome on Saturday — the first sitting Taiwanese premier to visit Japan since Taipei and Tokyo severed diplomatic ties 54 years ago — could be an inidication that Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s government is redefining boundaries with Taiwan.

In 2004, then-premier You Si-kun （游錫?） briefly stopped in Okinawa while returning from a visit to diplomatic allies in Central America, but the stopover was necessitated by a typhoon.

Although Cho’s trip on Saturday was kept confidential and low-key — described simply as a visit to watch a baseball game with no political agenda — it still represents a departure from established practice, given the sensitivity of Taiwan-Japan relations for Tokyo’s ties with Beijing.

Since Takaichi took office, China has repeatedly pressured Japan over Taiwan-related issues. Traditionally, when relations between Japan and China deteriorate, Tokyo has tended to scale back visible engagement with Taiwan to avoid provoking Beijing.

Cho’s visit might indicate those diplomatic “unwritten rules” may be shifting under the Takaichi administration. The space for Taiwan-Japan interaction appears to be gradually expanding, and the limits of engagement may no longer be defined solely by Beijing.

Since Japan switched diplomatic recognition to China in 1972, Taiwan and Japan have maintained unofficial ties, with the Japan-Taiwan Exchange Association handling most consular and diplomatic functions in lieu of a formal embassy.

In the past few years, as security concerns in the Taiwan Strait have intensified, Japan’s government and political circles have shown increasing support for Taiwan. At the same time, Tokyo has generally avoided actions that would

challenge the framework established when it normalized relations with Beijing.

In practice, this has meant expanding exchanges with Taiwan while carefully controlling the level of official contact. Senior Taiwanese officials visiting Japan have typically done so in an extremely low-profile manner.

In 2022, then-vice president William Lai （賴清德） traveled to Tokyo privately to attend the funeral of Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe following his assassination. Japanese authorities reportedly even confirmed whether Lai had a genuine personal relationship with Abe before allowing the visit.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Lin Chia-lung （林佳龍） also quietly visited Japan last year. In interviews with Japanese media, Lin said that he was traveling in a private capacity and noted that Taiwanese citizens enjoy visa-free entry to Japan, meaning he could visit as an ordinary traveler.

For decades, a diplomatic “red line” has existed between Japan and China regarding Taiwan. While Japan may deepen substantive relations with Taiwan, it has generally avoided actions that could be interpreted as recognizing Taiwan as a sovereign state or undermining the “one China” framework.

In practical terms, this means refraining from establishing formal diplomatic ties with Taiwan, avoiding official visits by senior leaders, steering clear of security alliances or military cooperation and not signing agreements implying Taiwanese sovereignty.

These limits have never been formally codified, but instead have evolved through diplomatic practice. Beijing effectively signals the boundaries through protests or political pressure when it believes they have been crossed.

Over time, this produced an informal rule in Japan: when relations with China worsen, interactions with Taiwan should not be overly visible.

After Takaichi took office, Japan-China relations quickly plummeted. Allowing a sitting Taiwanese premier to visit Japan — even if framed as a private baseball outing — risks inflaming tensions. Some Japanese media outlets have already raised the possibility of a Chinese backlash.

Last year, when Takaichi said during a parliamentary session that a Taiwan contingency could threaten Japan’s survival, China responded by increasing pressure on Tokyo — pressure that has yet to fully ease.

However, Beijing’s reaction appears to have had an unexpected domestic effect. In a snap House of Representatives election, Takaichi led the ruling Liberal Democratic Party to a historic victory with 316 seats. The result could indicate that for many Japanese voters, security concerns in the Taiwan Strait outweigh the diplomatic sensitivities of Japan-China relations.

Against this backdrop, Japan’s tacit approval of a visit by a sitting Taiwanese premier may signal that the Takaichi administration is redefining these diplomatic boundaries.

Wang Hung-jen （王宏仁）, professor of political science at National Cheng Kung University, said Cho’s visit represents a more significant breakthrough than Lai’s condolence trip or Lin Chia-lung’s low-profile visit.

Despite continued Chinese pressure and ongoing tensions between Tokyo and Beijing,

Japan was still willing to facilitate Cho’s visit, Wang said. This might suggest the “China factor” shaping Japan’s Taiwan policy may be weakening.

Chen Fang-yu （陳方隅）, associate professor of political science at Soochow University, said warming Taiwan-Japan relations are the result of years of diplomatic groundwork.

Through sustained diplomatic engagement, Taiwan’s senior officials can visit Japan in a private capacity, he said. The fact that such visits can receive visas and even be publicly reported represents a significant step forward in bilateral ties.

“As an abnormal country,” Taiwan must pursue diplomatic breakthroughs step by step, Chen said.

Whether Japan would help defend Taiwan in case of a cross-strait conflict would depend on the US and the extent to which Japan would be allowed to act under the US-Japan Security Treaty, former Japanese minister of defense Satoshi Morimoto said.

As China has not given up on the idea of invading Taiwan by force, to what extent Japan could support US military action would hinge on Washington’s intention and its negotiation with Tokyo, Morimoto said in an interview with the Liberty Times （sister paper of the Taipei Times） yesterday.

There has to be sufficient mutual recognition of how Japan could provide assistance under the US-Japan Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security in case of a Chinese invasion, he said.

Any response would first require an assessment of the specific scenario to determine what actions Japan could legally take under international and domestic law, he said.

For example, deploying the Japan Self-Defense Forces （JSDF） onto Taiwanese soil or directly taking up responsibility of defending Taiwan is not envisioned under the law, nor is it an anticipated goal, he said.

The possibility of the JSDF landing in Taiwan to conduct joint defense operations with the US and Taiwanese forces is not allowed for in Japanese law, he added.

If the US conducts operations around Taiwan, Japan could provide support and cooperation, such as maritime transport, patrol and surveillance missions, protection of undersea cables and logistical supply operations, he said.

This would require determining in advance what kind of strategy the US might adopt and how far it would be willing to go, while considering how a US-Japan cooperation framework should be established, he said.

The next important question would be which countries besides the US would provide support and cooperation, he said.

Tokyo believes Australia and the Philippines are likely to offer support, while European countries are geographically distant and would face difficulties deploying naval or air forces immediately, he said.

South Korea would be in a complicated situation, as tensions could rise on the Korean Peninsula if there were a contingency in the Taiwan Strait, he said.

If Russia and North Korea were to take action on the Korean

Peninsula under China’s request, South Korea would likely be unable to take part in supporting Taiwan, he added.

South Korean polls showed that more than 60 percent of respondents supported providing all sorts of assistance to Taiwan in such a situation, but they did not expect deploying South Korean troops Korea-

based US forces to Taiwan, he said.

Seoul would likely not be a highly reliable source of help in case of a Taiwan contingency, he added.

The key would be to what extent the US would be willing to help Taiwan, he said, adding the White House has not clearly elaborated its stance in public.

US skeptics’ belief that Washington would not come to Taiwan’s aid in a crisis is likely fueled in part by Chinese information manipulation, he said.

Regarding the purge and reshuffle of senior officials in the Chinese Communist Party （CCP）, he said two scenarios could emerge.

One possibility is that the purge could consolidate Chinese President Xi Jinping’s （習近平） power and make it easier for him to resort to military action against Taiwan, he said.

Documents disclosed online showed that Xi had considered invading Taiwan after the CCP’s third plenary session in 2024, he said.

Xi’s plan was thwarted by Central Military Commission vice chairman Zhang Youxia （張又俠）, who was under investigation for suspected serious contraventions of discipline and law, and other senior officials, he said.

The revelation was startling because it showed that Xi considered taking military action earlier than the timeline given by US intelligence, which said that Xi instructed the People’s Liberation Army to be ready for action by 2027, he said.

In the past, many Japanese experts believed that if China were to use force against Taiwan, it would be enormously costly and risk heavy losses and the possibility of failure, he said.

Pursuing unification through non-military means, such as political, economic and information-based measures without resorting to war would be Beijing’s other option, he said.

Despite taking more time, such an approach would involve fewer risks and a possible higher chance of success for China, while making it more difficult for the US and other countries to intervene, he said.

If that proves to be the case, Taiwan’s presidential election in January 2028 could become an important turning point in cross-strait relations, he added.

Another scenario could involve a sudden development, such as Taiwan unexpectedly declaring independence or the US making a clear commitment to militarily intervene in support of Taiwan, he said.

Under such circumstances, China might decide to use force without hesitation, he said.

“Xi has clearly considered military unification and that intention may not have changed,” he said, warning that China could simultaneously intensify military pressure while attempting to achieve political objectives without launching a full-scale war.

If the Taiwan Strait were to fall under China’s effective control, freedom of navigation for Japan and the US would be severely restricted, potentially disrupting maritime supply routes and affecting the flow of energy, goods and trade, he said.

While it is difficult to determine which scenario is more likely to emerge, he believes that Xi is likely to consolidate his authority and reorganize the CCP’s power structure, he said.

As Xi is unlikely to immediately resort to military unification, Taiwan’s upcoming presidential election could become the next major turning point, making it essential to closely observe Taiwan’s domestic politics, he said.

UPDATED TEST:The new rules aim to assess drivers’ awareness of risky behaviors and how they respond under certain circumstances, the Highway Bureau said

By Shelley Shan / Staff Reporter, with CNA

Driver’s license applicants who fail to yield to pedestrians at intersections or to check blind spots, or omit pointing-and-calling procedures would fail the driving test, the Highway Bureau said yesterday.

The change is set to be implemented at the end of the month, and is part of the bureau’s reform of the driving portion of the test, which has been criticized for failing to assess whether drivers can operate vehicles safely.

Sedan drivers would be tested regarding yielding to pedestrians and turning their heads to check blind spots, while drivers of large vehicles would be tested on their familiarity with pointing-and-calling procedures, where drivers point at an important indicator or hazard and call out its status to ensure safety, the bureau said.

Failure to perform any of the above tasks would result in a deduction of 32 points.

The passing grade for the driving test is 70 out of 100.

The change aims to enhance drivers’ awareness regarding stopping and yielding to pedestrians, the bureau said.

Since Jan. 30, the written test for a motorcycle driving license has consisted entirely of 50 multiple-choice questions, with no true-or-false items.

Car drivers are scheduled to take the same test format in June, with 20 percent of the questions specifically designed to assess drivers’ awareness of risky behaviors and their responses under certain circumstance.

Preparations for the scoring criteria and grade record forms have been completed, and the documents would be published in the Government Gazette, the bureau said.

Motor vehicle offices and driving schools around the nation would adjust their scoring boards at test sites, too, it said, adding that all preparations are scheduled to be completed by March 31.

ROC Automotive Driving Education Association chairman Chen Yong-chin （陳永親） said that aside from continuing to improve training for applicants, driving schools are also updating the signage for point deductions, in response to the changes in on-site driving test items, adding that they aim to complete the updates as soon as possible.

There are 216 small-vehicle driving schools and 36 large-vehicle driving schools across Taiwan, bureau statistics showed.

Last year, 243,000 people took the small-vehicle driving test, and 16,000 took the large-vehicle driving test, the bureau said.

記者黃佳琳／高雄專題報導

台灣槍擊案件頻傳，治安紛亂讓網友戲稱「慶記之都」、「全台灣只有我沒槍？」，民眾期待政府肅查黑槍的畫面，應是滿滿的制式或改造手槍，但警政署為肅清黑槍竟「放寬」槍枝查緝標準，導致基層查不到「黑槍」，拿「淘寶玩具」來湊績效，查緝數據美化的背後，卻是民眾恐慌買個玩具也要擔心去坐牢。

高雄市2023年查獲各式具殺傷力的槍械案共108件，但高市某分局配合刑事局偵辦，在1個月內就查獲70多支「穿雲箭」，數量驚人且大大超車別單位1年查獲的改造槍械，猶如吃下核分「大補丸」，但70多起槍砲案件被移送到地檢署後，全部都被檢方處分不起訴。

70多起槍砲案件代表70多位被告，普通老百姓質疑只是上網買玩具，為何就被警方依違反《槍砲彈藥刀械管制條例》送辦，還得面臨3年以上、10年以下有期徒刑，併科7百萬元以下罰金的重罪？

知情人土透露，過去查緝黑槍，須經過動能測試，單位面積動能超過20焦耳/平方公分，或是試射時擊穿鋼板，就會被視為具殺傷力，但警署早已放寬「放寬」槍枝查緝標準，只要是由金屬擊發機構及已貫通的金屬槍管組合而成，擊發功能正常，以打底火引爆槍管內火藥為發射動力，用以發射彈丸使用，就會認定具有殺傷力。

不過，這些涉及槍砲案的「穿雲箭」被送到地檢署後，全部都被檢方處分不起訴。檢察官指出，具有殺傷力的槍枝屬違禁物，市價可能達數萬元，絕非容易可從拍賣平台入手取得，但穿雲箭單價僅4、500元，消費者以實名購買，並無掩飾之處，穿雲箭僅是打出聲響或打出鞭炮的玩具，無法構成槍砲案件。

查緝「穿雲箭」這條的路被檢方擋住，警方把目標轉向淘寶網站上中國賣家出售的「微型砲台」，有民眾上網買「新款四輪純手工義大利砲擺件」、「純手工金屬過年大砲擺件」，也一樣被警方用槍砲罪送辦。但檢方收案後發現，這些玩具雖然被警政署認定具有殺傷力，但警方無法證明消費者玩這些玩具的當下，就認知自己是要買具有殺傷力的商品，加上消費者都是用實名消費，也留下電話號碼給商家，如果真的想買「黑槍」，不可能留下「足跡」供警方追緝，因此也都全數不起訴處分。

尼泊爾8日公布的部分官方計票結果顯示，從饒舌歌手轉戰政壇、身為Z世代革命精神領袖的夏哈，在其所屬政黨以史無前例的差距贏得國會多數席次後，預料將成為尼泊爾下一任總理。（法新社）

尼泊爾8日公布的部分官方計票結果顯示，從饒舌歌手轉戰政壇、身為Z世代革命精神領袖的夏哈（Balendra Shah），在其所屬政黨以史無前例的差距贏得國會多數席次後，預料將成為尼泊爾下一任總理。

廣為人知的夏哈與其領導的全國獨立黨（RSP），在經歷數十人喪命並導致前政府垮台的青年抗議活動後，5日在首次選舉中取得罕見的壓倒性勝利。

全國獨立黨高層領袖鮑德爾（Ramesh Paudyal）表示：「這是希望與改變的勝利，也是對Z世代運動最美好的認可。對Z世代烈士真正的致敬，將透過夏哈領導的政府未來的日常施政來體現。」

大眾對政治老將的不滿與憤怒，在選舉結果中表露無遺，資深政黨及其領袖失去大量席次，3年前才創立的全國獨立黨橫掃千軍。

尼泊爾國會結合單一選區多數決與比例代表制的選舉制度，過去往往導致脆弱的聯合政府。但隨著計票進入最後階段，全國獨立黨在165個直接選舉席次中，已贏得至少122席，並在另外3個選區保持領先，可望取得自尼泊爾邁入民主化以來最大的選舉多數。包括比例代表制分配席次的最終選舉結果，預計將於未來幾天內出爐。

英國「衛報」報導，這場選戰被視為多年來最具指標性且最扣人心弦的對決，主宰尼泊爾政壇數十年的重量級人物，對上誓言終結貪腐並為國家帶來全新開始的年輕世代。

儘管踏入政壇的時間相對較短，35歲的夏哈一直被視為領跑者。他發起一場充滿活力的競選活動，成功切中了民眾，尤其是尼泊爾年輕人渴望改變的心理。

擁有工程師背景的夏哈，最初是因為創作抨擊貧窮、失業與貪腐的饒舌歌曲而聲名大噪。2022年，他轉戰公職，以無黨籍身分參選並當選首都加德滿都（Kathmandu）市長。在以絕對優勢勝選後，他展開整頓這座城市的艱鉅任務，包括拆除違章建築與處理垃圾問題。

但真正讓夏哈躍上全國舞台的，是去年9月的青年起義。當時，由社群媒體禁令引爆、但背後深層原因是對缺乏機會感到挫折的抗議活動突然爆發。政府隨後以武力鎮壓，導致19名抗議者喪生。

這場抗爭隨後演變成更大規模的動亂與縱火攻擊，最終造成70人死亡，並導致曾4度出任總理的奧利（KP Sharma Oli）及其資深的共產黨政府辭職下台。

政府垮台的速度讓許多人感到震驚。夏哈原本是Z世代抗議領袖屬意的過渡政府總理人選，但他婉拒這個職務，選擇等待至3月5日舉行正式選舉時才參選。

做為舊勢力與新世代對決的象徵，夏哈選擇在查巴縣第5選區（Jhapa-5）參選，直接對決74歲的奧利，並最終以6萬8348票，擊敗奧利的1萬8724票，贏得壓倒性勝利。

在承認敗選時，奧利表示，他祝福夏哈擁有一個「平順的5年任期，致上由衷的祝福」。

夏哈戴著招牌深色墨鏡、身穿黑色西裝外套，抵達現場領取當選證書。他從座車的天窗探出身子，舉著印有「恭喜你們所有人，這是你們的勝利」字樣的布條。

在查巴第5選區，人們對夏哈的勝選歡欣鼓舞。Z世代運動領袖勞特（Bhawana Raut）表示，這個結果意味著在經歷9月抗議活動的暴力事件後，終於可以開始「療傷」；這向所有掌權者傳遞一個明確的訊息：你們必須負起責任；即使是經歷巨大抗爭才崛起的領袖，選民也能在瞬間讓他們歸零；政府必須是人民的公僕，而不是統治機關。

儘管如此，分析人士強調，夏哈面臨艱鉅的任務，包括如何管理年輕世代對他寄予的厚望。他在競選期間的承諾，包括調查並起訴過去根深蒂固的貪腐問題，以及追究奧利政府對殺害Z世代抗議者的責任。

政治分析家巴拉爾（Lok Raj Baral）指出，民眾有許多抱負與渴望，但在尼泊爾這種國家，要實現這些期望非常困難，「官僚體系還是老樣子，只有政治領導階層是新的。」

尼泊爾是夾在印度與中國之間的內陸國，這兩國相互競爭的利益，往往凌駕於尼泊爾的國內需求之上。許多人強調，外交政策在巴倫的總理任期內將極為重要。

Minister of Foreign Affairs Lin Chia-lung speaks at an event at the ministry in Taipei on Jan. 21.Photo: CNA

MISSION OF PEACE:The foreign minister urged Beijing to respect Taiwan’s existence as an independent nation, and work together to ensure peace and stability in the region

By Lee I-chia / Staff reporter

Minister of Foreign Affairs Lin Chia-lung （林佳龍） yesterday rejected Chinese Minister of Foreign Affairs Wang Yi’s （王毅） comments about Taiwan, criticizing China as a “troublemaker” in the international community and a disruptor of cross-strait peace.

Speaking at a news conference on the sidelines of the Chinese National People’s Congress, Wang said that Taiwan has always been a territory of China and that it would be impossible for it to become its own country.

The “return” of Taiwan to China was the natural outcome of the Chinese people’s resistance against Japan in World War II, and that any pursuit of independence was “doomed to fail,” he said, claiming that the Cairo Declaration, Potsdam Declaration, Japanese Instrument of Surrender and UN General Assembly Resolution 2758 determined Taiwan’s status.

“The Taiwan problem is a part of China’s internal affairs and at the very core of its interests. This red line must not be trampled on,” Wang said.

He added that other countries recognize Taiwan as part of China and oppose “Taiwanese independence,” claiming that “unification aligns with international expectations,” and that “it is a process that is inevitable.”

In Taipei, Lin said that “under the Republic of China [ROC], Taiwan has always been an independent sovereign country, and neither the ROC nor the PRC [People’s Republic of China] are subordinate to each other.”

“Whether based on historical facts, objective reality or international law, Taiwan’s sovereignty has never belonged to the PRC,” he said, adding that only Taiwanese have the right to decide the nation’s future.

Lin said that the Treaty of San Francisco in 1951 — a formal agreement signed between Japan and the Allied Powers after WWII — has replaced wartime declarations.

Taiwan’s liberalization and democratization, which began in the 1980s, and the nation’s first democratic presidential election in 1996, have established the ROC as the only legal government representing Taiwanese, he said, adding that the events have consolidated the “status quo” of cross-strait relations.

Exercises conducted by the Chinese military in the Taiwan Strait in the past few years have severely affected regional peace and stability, not Taiwan, he said.

Calling China a “troublemaker” in the international community and a “saboteur of cross-strait peace,” Lin urged Beijing to respect Taiwan’s existence as an independent nation, and work collaboratively to ensure peace and stability in the region.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs （MOFA） called on the international community to condemn China’s unilateral attempts to change the “status quo” through coercion, military threats and the arbitrary intimidation of other countries.

Separately, in response to Wang’s remarks, the Mainland Affairs Council vowed to uphold the freedom and democracy of the ROC.

“We believe that maintaining the status quo is in the best interests of the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait,” it said.

宜蘭縣礁溪鄉知名溫泉豪宅社區，驚傳呂姓保全涉嫌在社區公廁藏放手機偷拍如廁畫面，再透過AI深偽技術進行影像合成，作案時間逾2年，已知21名成年及4名未成年女性受害，其中1名成年女子被偷拍257次，宜蘭地檢署依違反兒少性剝削防制條例等罪名將他起訴。

發生保全偷拍的溫泉豪宅社區，傳有不少雙北都會區政商名流砸重金置產，當成渡假休閒使用，諷刺的是，社區主打門禁森嚴、管理嚴謹，想不到自家僱用的保全36歲呂姓男子，利用職務之便偷拍，讓住戶大嘆「內賊難防」。

根據調查，2023年4月起，呂姓保全在溫泉豪宅社區管理中心一樓公廁內木櫃夾層藏放手機，連接行動電源後，全日開啟錄影功能，2025年6月初才被發現，警方查扣5支手機、6個行動電源、3張記憶卡、微型攝影機、針孔攝影機、wifi攝影器，在手機內查到偷拍畫面、AI合成照片截圖，呂男對偷拍犯行坦承不諱。

查扣的偷拍畫面中，25名被害人清一色是女性，年紀最小的在案發當下未滿5歲，呂男加以篩選、編輯，並標明時間、綽號，以便反覆觀賞。此案東窗事發後，被害人擔心不雅畫面外流而人心惶惶。

檢察官痛斥呂男身為社區保全，本應擔負維護治安之責，竟未恪盡職責，反而乘職務之便遂行偷拍犯行，將他人隱私性極高的如廁行為，作為滿足一己性慾工具，犯罪動機低劣。

檢警掌握呂男偷拍的影片並未外流，他的行為觸犯刑法的無故偷拍影像罪、兒少性剝削防制條例、個資法，檢方偵結起訴後，最近移送宜蘭地院審理。
