【記者 玉女 ／台中報導】

國立臺灣美術館去年4月推出「時代印記─國美典藏常設展」，以兩年常設為期，採三階段輪替方式接續展出。第二階段展出即日起登場，展至8月16日止，展間全面換展，精選展出逾150件典藏作品，讓觀眾能看到不同面貌的館藏品，歡迎蒞臨觀賞。

本展由學者黃冬富、館內研究人員薛燕玲、林振莖、蔡昭儀、馮勝宣等五位策展人協力策劃，規劃五大主題展區，分別為：「中原流風：臺灣早期書畫」、「引光顯影：20世紀前期臺灣美術的在地色彩」、「浪潮與衝擊：1945-1979臺灣美術發展」、「激撞與反思：1980s～1990s臺灣美術主體性尋探」、「交融與重構：2000～全球視野與數位浪潮」，呈現從明清日治時期到現當代的臺灣藝術發展脈絡。

本次展覽依五大展區鋪陳臺灣美術的發展軌跡，分別闡述臺灣明清時期傳統書畫的狂野率性特質如何反映早期拓墾時期的衝創精神；日治時期臺灣畫家如何透過對於風土「在地色彩」的探索形塑現代化與地方認同的意識；戰後至七○年代如何受抽象、普普藝術等西方浪潮衝擊的同時回歸鄉土美術；八○至九○年代解嚴之後又如何積極突圍，衝撞禁忌議題及探問何謂臺灣主體性；2000年以後在全球化與資訊科技的席捲之下，文化地理界線的重劃如何引發自我身分與文化認同之重建，而多元族群、環境議題等等也都成為臺灣藝術家關懷的面向。整體充分展現出不同時期的藝術家，如何透過繁複的題材與手法來演繹時代精神。

「時代印記—國美典藏常設展」，第二階段全面更換展品，精選國美館重要館藏，以及美術館近年入藏品。例如，「中原流風：臺灣早期書畫」中，周凱與凱音布富察氏於1830（道光十）年所畫的雙幅合裝〈東湖草堂圖〉卷，即為本次展出的重要作品之一。周凱畫風溫潤清雅，凱音布則蒼秀幽雅，優雅的書卷氣迥異於閩習的狂野氣質。引首「東湖草堂圖」標題大字由張祥河（1785-1862） 所題，前隔水朱為弼自題外，拖尾有何紹基在內的文人雅士共23 則題跋，全卷裝裱長 1659 公分。

內容多呼應東湖名勝，詩文與書、畫相輔相成，是件難得的優質手卷。在「交融與重構：2000～全球視野與數位浪潮」中，首次亮相的典藏作品是侯俊明的《亞洲人的父親》系列：嘉義篇，藝術家自2008 年起創作了一系列一對一訪談式作品。此創作計畫分別於日本橫濱、臺灣臺北、臺中、嘉義、香港、泰國曼谷等多地進行訪談，將人倫關係的議題擴展至各國文化、多元性別差異的層面進行探究。

國美館表示，典藏是一座美術館的核心價值與定位表徵，是為未來世代保存過往藝術資產的佐證。將靜態的收藏內容積極地透過展示、教育、研究、詮釋等動態活動與大眾接觸，分享與擴散美學、歷史的知識傳播，是美術館的責任，也是美術館典藏的意義。國美館逾37年的蒐藏，透過購置、受贈、競賽徵集、移撥四種來源，至2024年底收藏總數量已達22,070件，核心蒐藏範圍自18世紀以降至當今的藝術作品，以及與藏品相關之文獻資料，構成豐富的典藏體系與內容，歷年已經策劃辦理數十檔相關的主題展、斷代史展、藝術家專題展、經典藏品展等，是建構臺灣美術史的重要文化資產。

「時代印記─國美典藏常設展」透過國美館典藏品的展示、館藏文獻與一手資料的整理研究，來映照臺灣美術史的發展歷程。更以編年的方式，來凸顯藝術創作如何隨著歷史開展與時代變遷顯現與遞延；並將臺灣作為主體，放在世界的脈絡中探看臺灣美術發展之路徑，一方面探勘臺灣藝術在揉雜的現象之下如何追尋與建立自身的主體性，另一方面展望未來與全球藝術脈動更深刻的連結。期待將本館的精彩館藏常態性地展示在大眾面前，提供更多鑑賞的機會，並促進觀眾對臺灣美術發展的了解。

《臺北聞人蔡金塗》是一本十分特別的書。

其實我對作者鄭進耀並不熟悉，最主要的原因應該是我1979年時就離開臺灣，一直到2014年退休後才到花蓮定居。去年尾的某一天，我的太太游韻馨告知有位她熟識的出版社編輯跟她說，有本書的作者想引用我所寫《江南案槍手董桂森》裡面的一小段，希望我能同意。我當然應允了，對方也寄來簡單的同意書讓我簽字，我也才知道蔡金塗原來是當年臺灣江湖上赫赫有名的教父級人物，《臺北聞人蔡金塗》顧名思義，當然是蔡金塗跌宕起伏的一生，這樣的內容，要引述曾為「竹聯幫」最剽悍忠堂堂主董桂森的相關文字，我也就不意外了。

我原本以為這件事就到此為止了，不料一個多月前收到「鏡文學」企畫藍偉貞的電郵，邀請我寫一篇書評，也附上了《臺北聞人蔡金塗》的書稿，我當然也同意了，因為，我也想知道蔡金塗究竟何許人也，是哪一個幫派的老大？結果，由於這本書實在太引人入勝，我愛不釋手的一口氣讀完之後卻突然發現，我還是不知道蔡金塗屬於哪一幫派，也或者作者有提及，但《臺北聞人蔡金塗》裡的其他內容太精采，以至於蔡金塗是否真為黑道人物，已經不重要了。

也正如作者鄭進耀在《臺北聞人蔡金塗》最後一章中所述：「進行蔡金塗故事的寫作時，始終讓我好奇的核心是，為何一個戲曲演員會涉入江湖事務，並成為一方之霸。」連對蔡金塗做了大量研究的作者都還有這種感慨，我們如果期待這會是一本腥風血雨的江湖砍殺錄，就未免太不務實了。

讀完《臺北聞人蔡金塗》之後，我對他的「黑道」印象僅有他曾經被送往綠島管訓3個月，以及當年出手打了槍殺芳明館老大林茂照的梁國愷（珍珠呆）一巴掌。要知道，名列十大槍擊要犯之一的梁國愷是個脾氣暴烈、目中無人的殺手，蔡金塗能出手甩他一巴掌，還像教訓兒子一樣的跟他說，「你再這樣下去，會給芳明館帶來很多麻煩。」就這麼短短的一段畫龍點睛敘述，讀者已經了然蔡金塗的江湖地位。

但《臺北聞人蔡金塗》真正可讀之處，在於作者鄭進耀以蔡金塗的一生（雖然相關的敘事真的相對簡略）以及他做為一位民間社會與政權間的重要協商者為軸線，回溯許多饒有興味甚至不為人知的歷史，進而反映出臺灣早期從日治時期到國民政府遷臺後，地方勢力與政權、商界、地下秩序之間複雜的互動關係，而書中訊息量之大，才是真正引人入勝之處。

舉例而言，蔡金塗屬於傳統意義上的地方「角頭」，但恐怕鮮有人知「角頭」這個名詞的來由，鄭進耀則在《臺北聞人蔡金塗》內給了答案，亦即清朝時臺灣的移墾社會經常發生械鬥，甚而引發大規模民變，而中央政府又力有未逮，於是「為了防止民變再起，清代採取『保甲制度』，十戶為一牌，十牌為一甲，一甲之長為『甲頭』，閩南語發音為『Kak-Thau』，為今日所謂的『角頭』」。

又如《臺北聞人蔡金塗》中提及，「1948年2月27日，戰後凝重的政治氣氛終於爆發。臺北天馬茶房門外，一名查緝員查緝私菸，打傷了婦人，沒收私菸，引來民眾不滿。人群開始聚集抗議，軍方為驅散人群，向群眾開槍示警，意外打死一名啞巴陳文溪。人群一哄而散。死者陳文溪剛好是萬華角頭的弟弟。隔日，角頭帶著人馬到行政公署討公道，引發一系列暴力衝突。衝突又更擴大，在臺灣各地遍地開花，一發不可收拾。」

這段敘事讓人不禁遐想，當年被打死的人如果不是萬華角頭的弟弟，人群「一哄而散」之後，隔日也許不會有人去行政公署討公道，是否臺灣歷史上就不會有「二二八事件」了？

蔡金塗對傳統戲曲（如北管）有很深的造詣，長期贊助基隆、臺北一帶的軒社（如基隆聚樂社），在民間文化界也很有名望，他甚至還曾粉墨登場為蔣介石祝壽。傳統戲曲與地方宮廟有很密切的關係，地方宮廟又與江湖人士千絲萬縷結合在一起，《臺北聞人蔡金塗》就從這一點切入，讓讀者對傳統戲曲也有了難得的認識。

《臺北聞人蔡金塗》藉由敘事觸及許多有趣話題，如馬來西亞檳城的黑社會，日治時期在中國的「臺灣籍民」，日本的山口組如何捧紅並保護一代歌姬美空雲雀，臺灣人如何在日本東京新宿的歌舞伎町打出一片天下……，不一而足，都十分引人入勝。

《臺北聞人蔡金塗》的另一個特點就是真實呈現了「黑道見慣亦常人」，顛覆了大多數人對「黑道」的想像。鄭進耀寫道：「2013年，我採訪一位剛出獄的大盜黑金城，他馳名於1980年代，專以藝術畫作為目標。採訪途中，一位名為『阿肥』的男子來訪。阿肥帶來啤酒和鹹酥雞，黑金城簡單向我介紹阿肥，三人便邊聊邊吃起鹹酥雞。黑金城講話時偶向阿肥眼色示意，阿肥便默契的遞上飲料或是筷子。黑金城與阿肥多年來，每個月固定時間會開車前往宜蘭監獄探訪詹龍欄，兩人各自與詹龍欄有交情。阿肥一旁憨厚笑著，直說：『這無算啥啦。』阿肥招呼我們吃喝，像是親切的鄰居阿伯。我也自然而然跟著喚他阿肥。當採訪接近尾聲，阿肥起身到室外抽菸。黑金城不動聲色暗示：『不要看阿肥這樣，他是某某菜市場的大哥……』原來剛才親切的阿伯是道上名角，我竟無禮跟著喊他阿肥。」

其實我自己也有相同經驗。我在2004年帶兒子、女兒去柬埔寨遊覽，到了金邊去拜訪「竹聯幫」教父陳啟禮，陳啟禮特別買了肥美的大頭蝦招待我們，席間談笑風生，結果飯後回旅館的路上，兒子、女兒都略帶失望不約而同地跟我說，「把拔，陳叔叔一點都不像流氓（Gangster）。」我只好跟他們說，「這才是真正的大哥，因為那些喊打喊殺的都死光了。」

《臺北聞人蔡金塗》也觸及了地方聞人與政治之間的關係，特別是國民黨來臺初期，為有效管理地方，利用地方頭人控制群眾，除了給予特許生意（出口特定農產品、色情產業等），還將他們納入議會。臺北市議員選舉於1953年首度舉行，蔡金塗高票當選，同屆的市議員還有來自萬華的角頭大老許海清。除了兩人，其餘當選者中不少人也有相似的背景，可謂黑影幢幢。在當時的政治環境，臺灣人參選已是不易，何況還是當選。一般認為，兩位江湖中人能夠順利當選，都是得到當局的默許，這個所謂「黑金」到了李登輝時代達到最高峰，至今都無法完全斬斷。《臺北聞人蔡金塗》在這一塊著墨頗多，可讀性也高。

總之，這是一本訊息量超多超有趣的書，不容錯過也值得一讀再讀。

對過去的執著，常使人誤以為昨日是一個可以重啟的程式（rebootable program），彷彿只要回到某個儲存點（save point）便能修正錯誤。然而，時間的核心機制是改寫（rewrite），而非還原（restore）。每一次前進，都伴隨著內在結構的調整。路易斯·卡羅（Lewis Carroll）在《愛麗絲夢遊仙境》（Alice's Adventures in Wonderland）中，透過愛麗絲（Alice）之口說出那句著名的話：「回到昨天沒有用，因為那時的我已是不同的人。她之所以無法回歸原貌，正因其認知框架（cognitive framework）已被經驗永久改變。」

將此觀點延伸至AI發展，可以看到相似的邏輯。一個完成訓練的AI模型，其昨日由固定的訓練資料集（training dataset）與初始模型權重（initial model weights）所構成。在部署後，模型本身通常維持靜態；唯有經過微調（fine-tuning）或持續學習（continual learning），它才會進入新的階段。每一次有目的的再訓練與迭代，都會不可逆地改變其內部參數結構。

人們往往期望AI的記憶，也就是其經訓練形成的知識，是穩定且可預測的。然而，如同人類學習，AI的成長並非線性過程。新資料可能引入異常案例（anomalies），也可能挑戰既有模式。一個大型語言模型（LLM）在不同版本間所呈現的細微輸出差異，正反映其在再訓練後參數（parameters）配置的調整結果。模型並非單純重複過去的計算，而是在舊有基礎上，經由新的訓練週期，形成帶有修正理解（revised understanding）的新狀態。

這種不可逆的進化同時蘊含深刻風險。當AI吸收錯誤或帶有偏差的資料，它可能朝錯誤方向演進，且難以回到一個所謂正確的昨日。正因如此，資料來源的選擇、治理與監管顯得格外重要。持續學習的路徑如同單行道，一旦資料受到污染，後續修正所需付出的代價將極為高昂。

因此，對AI而言，真正的適應性並不在於固守一個被視為完美的過去訓練集，而在於能否在面對模糊性與錯誤時，透過審慎的再訓練與優化，生成更準確且更具彈性的回應。它的進化不在於靜態保存所有資訊，而在於能於每一次訓練迭代中調整內在連結與權重，持續向前。它的昨日完成初始學習，它的今日則攜帶更新後的參數結構，在新的任務中延伸出新的知識。

許多人第一次聽說曼德拉（Nelson Mandela，1918～2013）當選總統時，都會錯愕地說：「我清楚記得他在獄中去世的新聞畫面。」這種大規模的錯誤記憶，被稱為「曼德拉效應」（Mandela Effect）。

它說明人類記憶不是錄影帶，而是每次回想時都在重建的神經活動。當微小誤差透過媒體傳播並被群體強化，最終可能凝固為堅信不疑的「事實」。

生成式AI的出現，讓這個現象進入危險的新階段。過去的錯誤記憶源於人腦的模糊回想，如今卻可能來自精心製作的數位幻象。AI能輕易生成高度擬真的內容，例如「C-3PO全銀色劇照」或「皮卡丘黑色尾巴百科條目」。這些虛構細節真實得足以欺騙未經查證的觀者，一旦在社群媒體病毒式擴散，說服力遠超過去的謠言。

更可怕的是，AI生成的不只是單一圖片或文字，而是包含照片、影片與文章的完整「證據鏈」，讓虛假記憶看似天衣無縫。

同時，AI內容正以驚人速度污染資訊生態。當人們試圖驗證記憶時，搜尋結果往往充斥大量口徑一致的錯誤答案，形成資訊迴音室。社群演算法又偏好新奇與爭議性內容，AI製造的謠言正符合這些條件，於是錯誤訊息在推送與點擊間不斷循環，甚至被推升至主流討論。

更令人憂心的是，AI不僅能放大既有錯誤，還能憑空創造從未存在的記憶。想像有人利用AI虛構一個九〇年代的卡通角色，生成動畫片段、廣告影像與週邊商品照片，再編造討論貼文。這些充滿懷舊元素的內容迅速走紅，10年後，當年的孩童已成年，腦中仍保留模糊印象。當有人發問「你還記得這個卡通嗎？」便會有大批網友響應，甚至補充劇情細節。

一個根本不存在的角色，竟成為集體的童年回憶。

此時，AI已不是錯誤的放大器，而是記憶的原始編造者，繞過既有事實，直接向集體意識注入從未發生過的過去。

這絕非單純趣聞，而是深具社會風險的徵兆。當偽造記憶結合擬真圖像、詳盡文本和龐大社群互動，真實與虛構的邊界將愈加模糊。它可能動搖人們對歷史的理解，使司法證據效力大打折扣，甚至撼動政治共識。如果某個重大事件被AI大規模改寫，數百萬人因而誤解，後果難以想像。更極端的情境是，當AI生成的虛假內容數量超過真實資訊時，搜尋引擎甚至可能將錯誤答案置於前列。此時，真相反而成了需要額外努力證明的「少數說法」，我們將進入一個「真相倒置」的時代。

因此，社會必須建立數位免疫系統。技術上需要更精準的檢測工具，辨識內容是否為AI生成。制度上，平台應透明標註AI內容，並對惡意散布者設立規範；教育上，更需強化數位素養，培養理解演算法運作的能力，養成交叉驗證與批判思考的習慣。

在個人層面，每位使用者都應保持警覺。我們必須追溯訊息來源，不輕信單一說法，也不要因「眾人皆信」就放下懷疑。面對任何看似「眾所周知」的資訊，都應該問3個問題：來源是什麼？是否有可靠第三方驗證？是否符合基本邏輯與常識？

AI的曼德拉效應提醒我們，過去不再是堅固不動的參考點，而是隨著數位技術持續被改寫的場域。在這個由演算法與幻象交織的記憶迷宮裡，真相的價值從未如此珍貴。當記憶本身都能被製造，守護真實便成為每個人的責任，而我們的選擇，將決定未來世代如何理解過去、認識現在。

左圖是我的手，右圖是AI的靈魂，或者說，是它從人類無數個靈魂中蒸餾出來的回應。這件事讓我著迷許久。

起初，我只是隨手在紙上勾勒一個女性的姿態：頭部後仰，雙臂上舉，身體的弧度像一個無聲的感嘆號。線條粗糙，比例也不完美，但那個姿勢裡有某種說不清楚的渴望，像是一個人在黑暗中向天空伸手的瞬間。我把它拍下來，輸入一段精細的提示詞（Prompt），然後交給AI。

幾秒鐘後，右圖出現了。

我盯著螢幕看了很長時間。那還是我的姿勢，我的構圖，但那個向天空伸手的女人，已經不再是草稿。她的頭髮像墨水在水中散開，一絲一縷都有自己的重量。她的皮膚在炭筆（Graphite）的陰影裡呼吸，光從不可見的地方打來，讓鎖骨下方有了深度。

最讓我震驚的是那些紫色的牽牛花，它們並非強行安插，而是像真的從她的身體裡生長出來，藤蔓沿著腰線纏繞，葉片覆蓋本來空白的下半身，像是自然界對一個姿勢的詮釋。

要理解這幅圖從何而來，得稍微走進AI的思維邏輯。

AI首先透過視覺編碼讀取草稿中的線條結構，同時解析提示詞的語義，將兩者在潛在空間（Latent Space）中進行多模態融合。接著，它識別出頭部後仰、雙臂上舉的骨架，透過ControlNet確保生成結果嚴守原始輪廓，再從訓練資料中召喚素描技法與新藝術運動（Art Nouveau）的視覺記憶，將它們揉進同一個畫面。

最核心的演變發生在擴散過程（Diffusion Process）裡：圖像從一片純粹的隨機噪聲出發，在逐步去噪中讓細節從虛無中浮現，像是某種沉睡的記憶在黑暗中緩緩甦醒。那些牽牛花之所以長在那裡，是因為交叉注意機制（Cross-Attention）讓花卉的語義在圖像特定區域精準激活，而ControlNet那雙無形的手，始終拉住AI奔湧的想像力，讓它不越出我草稿劃定的物理邊界。整個過程，像一位藝術家在高維向量空間中進行的聯想，素描的肌肉記憶與牽牛花的印象在同一瞬間翻湧交疊。

那幅右圖太美了，美得讓我有一瞬間覺得左圖顯得有些多餘。但我很快意識到，如果沒有左圖，右圖根本無從談起。AI的所有聰明，在那一刻都在服務我那個顫抖的輪廓。那個姿勢是我的，那個渴望是我的，AI只是給了它一場盛大的赴約。

這就是人機協作最迷人的地方：不是替代，而是放大。我帶來意圖，AI帶來技法；我帶來情感的骨架，AI帶來血肉和皮膚。工具在改變，從獸骨到毛筆，從油彩到潛在空間中的運算，但那個想要表達某件事的衝動，仍然是整件事的起點，也是任何參數都蒸餾不出來的精華。

2023年初，OpenAIGPT-4的API定價約為每百萬token30美元；如今，主流前瞻模型已全面重訂價格：GPT-4o mini降至0.15美元、Anthropic Claude 3.5 Haiku低至0.25美元、Google Gemini 2.0 Flash更壓至0.10美元—降幅從90%到99%不等，而且仍在持續下修。這不是削價競爭，而是深層的技術與市場力量共同作用的結果，並正在引發整個AI生態系的結構性改變。

3個相互強化的力量在同時作用，支撐token價格持續下降。

首先是模型效率的快速提升。

蒸餾（distillation）將大模型的能力壓縮進更小的架構，量化（quantization）降低每次運算的位元需求，混合專家架構（MoE）讓推論時只啟動最相關的小網路。同樣的任務，所需算力持續縮減，而且這個技術優化態勢，還沒止息。

其次，是系統層級的優化。

產業界已清楚Transformer推論的運算瓶頸——矩陣乘法佔了絕大多數計算量，KVCache的記憶體存取效率與頻寬配置直接影響延遲，而批次處理策略則決定整體吞吐量。從編譯器最佳化、推論排程到硬體與系統層的整體優化，讓同一套硬體能服務更多prompt、產出更多token。

以Google為例，透過TPU與模型、系統的協同優化，在特定工作負載下推論能效出現數倍到數十倍等級的提升，顯示推論成本仍有可觀的下降空間。

接著是競爭格局的根本改變。

DeepSeek-R1、Meta LLaMA3、阿里巴巴Qwen2.5等開源模型持續追近閉源frontier模型的效能（約落後7個月），打破少數大廠的定價壟斷。開源模型的全球部署量已佔整體AI使用的約3成，也成了市場定價基準的壓力源。

Token成本的持續下降，正在同步觸發3個層面的連鎖反應。

第一，是AI推論應用的急遽擴張。

當每百萬token的成本從過去的高價模型，下降到數十分美分至數美元等級，大量原本「因成本不具經濟效益」的場景開始跨越可行門檻。個人化郵件撰寫、即時翻譯、文件摘要、程式碼生成、多語客服回覆、會議紀錄整理、合約審閱輔助、報表初稿產生等任務，不再只是試驗性功能，而逐步成為工作流程中的常態模組。

關鍵不在於成本歸零，而在於邊際成本已低到足以長時間、完整部署推論服務，讓AI從「偶爾使用的工具」轉變為持續運行的生產力工具。

第二，是Agent對工作流程的全面滲透。

低成本token是Agent得以規模化的前提。這一點已在市場成長速度上反映出來：Anthropic的營收規模近年快速進入數十億美元級距，年增幅達數倍；Cursor等AI coding工具在短時間內從千萬美元級別，躍升至上億美元年化營收，成為成長最快的一批AI SaaS產品。這些成長快速的新創幾乎無一例外地以agent或workflow automation為核心定位——無論是Anthropic、Harvey、Glean——產品路線指向的是自主代理與垂直工作流程整合，而非單純的聊天介面。一個agent往往需要與多個工具連續互動、發出數十次甚至上百次API呼叫才能完成任務。token成本的每一次下降，都在直接擴大agent可運行的任務邊界與商業規模，同時也引發更多的token用量。

第三是價值的持續上移。

最具體的案例是程式碼生成。Cursor、ClaudeCode等AI coding agent以Claude與GPT-4o為核心引擎，正在重塑開發者的工作流程，而非只是IDE的外掛。Microsoft 365 Copilot、Anthropic Claude將AI能力直接嵌入Excel的公式建議與資料分析、PowerPoint的簡報生成、Teams的即時摘要，使AI不再是獨立查詢工具，而成為日常工作的預設助手。根據DIGITIMES Research的市場觀察，AI產業價值佔比將在2026至2028由硬體逐步轉向軟體與服務，而應用層的滲透速度，將成為下一階段競爭的真正起點。

成本的持續下壓，讓另一端的問題更加凸顯：如何繼續壓低生產token的成本（TCO）？顯現在2個產業核心。

晶片架構是第一個關鍵。各大CSP正加速投入自研ASIC，針對Transformer推論的計算模式深度最佳化，在特定工作負載下可實現數倍等級的能效提升，使算力成本的下降速度不再完全受制於通用GPU的產品節奏。電力則是更根本的制約因素。高密度AI資料中心的電費往往佔營運成本的相當比例，當規模擴張到一定程度，電力取得能力往往比伺服器採購能力更早觸及上限。

近年新資料中心的選址優先順序已悄悄改變——穩定電力供給逐漸取代土地成本成為首要考量。多家能源研究機構預測，全球資料中心電力需求在未來數年將出現倍數成長，AI擴張的真正瓶頸，已從晶片轉向能源。

Token成本持續驟降，是AI進入第二階段的信號。第一階段的核心問題是「能不能做到」，競爭集中在最先進模型的能力競賽；第二階段的問題已經不同——誰能把TCO壓得夠低、把平台做得夠開放，讓更多應用在上面生長，才是真正的決勝點。

接下來幾年，與其看各家發布什麼新模型，不如看推論成本降到哪裡、開發者生態有多活躍，以及有多少垂直應用選擇在平台上發展；這些變數的交會處，才是下一波市場重心真正落腳的位置。對台灣而言，半導體與伺服器供應鏈能否持續協助全球客戶優化整體TCO，將決定我們在這一波Token通縮浪潮中的角色與分量。

2022年下半，AI技術出現罕見的結構性轉折。Frontier Model 首度同時展現出真正的泛化（Generalization）與多工能力（Multi-tasking）。

泛化意味著模型學到可擴展的語義與分析能力，能在新的指令形式與問題情境下維持穩定表現；多工則意味著同一套模型可以服務翻譯、摘要、圖片生成、問答等截然不同的場景應用，無需為每個任務另行訓練專用模型。這個突破，使AI從針對單一任務優化的垂直工具，轉變為橫向的通用、高成長智慧服務。同時也對供應鏈產生即時衝擊：自2022年下半起，資料中心的算力需求全面上修，GPU短缺從研究機構蔓延至企業端，並推動整條AI供應鏈——從晶片、伺服器到應用層——重新定位。

2024年的下一步：推理（Reasoning）登場。泛化與多工解決「能做什麼」的問題，卻沒有解決「能想多深」的限制。對話式問答提供足夠解方，但遇到需要多步驟邏輯推導的任務如解數學題、複雜程式除錯、分析法律條文、科學探索、邏輯論證等，模型的能力侷限就被暴露出來。

這個落差，在2024年下半開始逐步被補上。

OpenAI-o1的發布標誌著推理時代的開始。推理模型呈現出更接近「System-2」的思考方式——借用心理學家康納曼（Daniel Kahneman, 1934~2024）的框架：System-1是快速直覺式的反應，System-2是緩慢刻意的深層推理。在實際運作中，推理模型不會直接輸出答案，而是先在內部展開較長的（推理）思維鏈（Chain-of-Thought, CoT），逐步分解問題、排查矛盾、整合邏輯，再收斂出最終回應。數學推導、程式除錯、法律條文解析、醫療決策輔助——這些原本只有專業人士才能應付的複雜任務，開始出現跨越式的能力提升。

推理能力的形塑，來自幾個相互強化的技術突破。最基礎的是思維鏈CoT訓練。模型在訓練時被要求把推理過程一併展開，而非直接給最終答案，強迫模型在解題時學會分解問題、逐步推進。這種推理的引導，顯著提升複雜邏輯任務的表現。

其次是強化學習（Reinforcement Learning）的深度整合。

模型透過持續與真實任務互動並接收回饋，逐步找出「真正有用的答案」而非「聽起來合理的答案」——這成為推理品質得以持續演進的核心機制。值得注意的是，強化學習的獎勵機制，也間接強化模型「用更多token想清楚」的行為傾向——更長的思維鏈往往對應更好的答案，模型在訓練中學會以算力（更多token）換品質。

第三條路是推論時擴展（Test-Time Scaling），被視為繼預訓練（Pre-training）、後訓練（Post-training）之後的第三條scaling law：不必重新訓練模型，只需在推論（inference）階段投入更多運算資源，讓模型「想更久」，就能換取更好的答案品質。正因如此，隨著用戶數量增加，據報導，目前實際對用戶服務時的推論運算需求，已經高於模型訓練階段的算力消耗。

推理能力的代價，直接反映在token用量上。傳統問答模式下，一次查詢平均消耗數百個token；推理模型因為需要展開較長的內部推理步驟，每次查詢的使用量往往是傳統模式的10到50倍。這種倍數效應已在市場流量結構中浮現：目前推理模型的token使用量，已佔整體LLM流量的6成以上，預計會持續增長。這不只是技術規格的改變，而是整個算力需求預測邏輯必須重新計算的開始。

當推理能力成熟，一個更大的結構性轉變隨之而來：Agent 的崛起。

Agent （代理人）不是升級版的聊天機器人，而是具備目標驅動、自主規劃與多步驟執行能力的AI系統。沒有深層推理，Agent只是預先編排好的流程；有了推理，它才能在複雜流程中深度思考，做出判斷、處理例外、在不確定性中高價值任務。

程式設計是第一個Agent的突破點。GitHub Copilot、Anthropic Claude與Cursor的AI coding工具，目前市佔各約24%至25%，生產力提升幅度估計達1.5至3倍。從成長速度可以感受到市場反應的強度：Anthropic的年化營收（ARR）在2025年年增幅逾 800%，Cursor從1億美元成長至10億美元、年增達900%。法律、醫療、財務等垂直領域的跟進速度也正在加快：據報導，Harvey的法律AI ARR已達1.5億美元。

OpenEvidence在臨床醫療場景的ARR同樣超過 1.5 億美元。這些垂直應用的共同特徵，在於它們都依賴多步驟推理——不只是查詢資料庫，而是在法條、案例與臨床指引之間做出複合判斷，處理真實世界中的模糊與矛盾。

推理的架構決定token耗量只會持續增加。

每個新應用場景導入、每個Agent工作流程啟動，都意味著更多的思考步驟與更高的算力消耗——這是推理模型的設計本質，不會因為效率優化而消失，只會因為應用範疇擴大而放大。對半導體、伺服器、高頻寬記憶體供應鏈而言，這是結構性的長期需求訊號。

當推理能力從數位工作流程走向實體世界，影響規模可能再擴大一個量級。工廠排程、醫療診斷輔助、教育個人化、法律文件審查——這些場域一旦嵌入自主推理能力，改變的不只是工具，而是企業工作流程與人員分工的重組。這種重組很可能使對ICT基礎建設的需求，從一次性的升級，轉為更長期的投入。

這波AI資本投入是否會在建設高峰後趨於平緩？推理模型提供一種不同的結構性邏輯。其特性在於，應用規模的擴張會直接轉化為持續性的推理運算需求，而不僅是一次性的部署成本。當前推論已成為AI算力負載的主要來源，而推理型推論的運算佔比不斷攀升。再加上方興未艾的Agent架構興起，以及各種以token消耗為核心的智慧服務快速普及，算力需求將不再僅僅隨模型訓練週期波動，而是與日常使用頻率高度綁定。

當使用深度與應用廣度持續擴張，供應鏈從晶片、記憶體到電力基礎設施所面對的需求動能，可能更接近結構性成長，而非單一景氣循環所驅動。

content_text: 美國、以色列與伊朗的戰爭進入第二週，海灣主要產油國的海運出口幾乎全數停擺。隨著週末過後市場重新開盤，布蘭特原油價格一舉突破每桶100美元大關，自衝突爆發以來漲幅已達42%。歐洲天然氣價格較戰前飆升了92%。然而，這波能源衝擊最慘烈的受害者其實在亞洲。海灣供應了中、印、日、韓等國40%至80%的海運原油進口。在天然氣方面，該區佔中國天然氣進口近三分之一、印度的一半以上，對部分亞洲小國的影響甚至更高。2025年，經由荷姆茲海峽運輸的原油有87%、天然氣有86%是銷往亞洲。如今海峽遭封鎖，亞洲面臨能源迅速耗盡危機。各國政府與企業苦戰應對，經濟連鎖效應可能極為深遠。要衡量市場焦慮程度，一個方法是觀察不同產地、不同等級原油之間的價差。阿曼原油的出口碼頭位於海灣外，目前仍有穩定供應量，正常情況下，價格通常低於布蘭特原油，主因是阿曼原油的黏度較高、含硫量也較高，精煉難度相對較大。如今，阿曼原油的價格已遠高於布蘭特原油。這是因為亞洲煉油廠的設備通常是為了處理來自阿曼或其他海灣國家的同等級原油而設計，面對日益枯竭的供應，亞洲煉油商正不惜代價展開搶油大戰。 廣告 隨著海灣供應消失，亞洲煉油商開始將目光投向更遠的地方。川普政府在施壓印度停止購買俄羅斯原油數月後，於3月5日給予印度為期30天的豁免權以重啟採購。雖然川普顯然希望利用全球大量因缺乏買家而滯銷的俄油來填補缺口，藉此緩解全球能源價格壓力，但計策並沒有奏效。平時，美國的西德州中級原油大多流向歐洲，因為歐洲出價通常高過亞洲。但自戰爭爆發以來，儘管西德州原油與亞洲設施並不完全契合，精煉出的成品也較少，亞洲買家還是出了高價跟歐洲搶油。中國買家目前每桶西德州原油的支付價格已達103美元。現在在中國境內，除了受禁運限制的俄羅斯與伊朗油品外，已買不到低於100美元的原油。阿曼石油每桶價格更是突破了110美元。亞洲對西德州原油的強勁需求也反映在運費上。過去一週，從美國墨西哥灣沿岸運往中國的運費幾乎翻倍，部分原因是全球約十分之一的油輪（不含受制裁船隻）目前正被困在波斯灣內。 廣告 中國率先封關囤油，3國恐跟進儘管中國擁有令人稱羨的13億桶原油儲備，足以彌補一年份的中東缺口，但中國政府仍已下令國內大型煉油商暫停出口柴油與汽油。至於能源儲備較少的印度、新加坡與南韓（庫存僅剩50天或更短），恐怕也將被迫跟進。根據數據分析商Kpler的觀察，亞洲已有許多煉油廠開始減產10%以上。印度芒格洛爾煉油與石化公司（MRPL）已關閉了三分之一的生產設備；更有傳聞指出，該廠已宣告因「不可抗力」無法履行部分出口合約，但廠方否認。目前看來，後續進一步擴大減產似乎已成定局。由於這幾個國家是亞洲其他地區成品油的主要供應來源，缺油的恐慌情緒正全面擴散。在區域石油交易樞紐新加坡，柴油、汽油與航空燃油的「裂解價差」（煉油廠獲利能力的指標）已節節攀升。此外，過去由沙烏地阿拉伯大量供應、作為塑膠生產關鍵原料的輕油價差也同步飆升。 廣告 這釋出一個訊號：下游客戶預期價格將大漲或出現斷貨，因此不惜支付高額溢價也要瘋狂搶貨囤積。目前已有數家石化業者因原料斷炊，正式宣告不可抗力違約。亞洲「氣」絕警報！卡達出口崩潰，復原恐需數月亞洲天然氣市場的警訊甚至比石油更嚴峻。去年，來自海灣的天然氣佔了印度進口量的一半、孟加拉的四分之三，巴基斯坦則幾乎全仰賴此區。然而自2月27日以來，沒有任何一艘天然氣船駛出荷姆茲海峽。佔全球供應17% 的卡達主要出口設施，在遭到伊朗無人機襲擊後已停止運作。卡達能源部長卡比3月6日對《金融時報》表示，即使戰爭現在結束，出口量要恢復正常仍需「數週到數個月」。亞洲買家根本等不及部長表態，早已紛紛展開行動。 上週，美國天然氣出口商轉往亞洲（捨棄歐洲）的利潤空間，已創下2022年底烏俄戰爭以來的新高。隨著5、6月亞洲天然氣期貨價格正式超越歐洲，顯見市場預期這場斷氣危機將一路延燒至夏季。數據商Spark Commodities 指出，亞洲買家出價強悍，甚至連奈及利亞的貨源都被吸引過去。 廣告 與石油儲備情況類似，中國擁有全亞洲最大的天然氣緩衝空間，庫存足夠支撐19週。其餘國家則陷入恐慌。國際能源及大宗商品價格評估機構阿格斯（Argus） 指出，亞洲其他國家的天然氣庫存最多僅剩幾週。因此，孟加拉、印度、日本、南韓與泰國正不計高價，在現貨市場瘋狂搶購。少數來自美國的貨船已改道轉向亞洲。亞洲的強勁需求也推升了海運費率，目前從大西洋盆地運送天然氣至亞洲的日租金已達26.4萬美元，自2月27日以來翻了6倍。雖然 5 月交貨的亞洲天然氣現貨價仍低於2022年70美元的巔峰價，但亞洲較貧窮的國家已難以負擔。上週，孟加拉與印度的採購標案甚至沒吸引到任何賣家投標。高昂的氣價將迫使這些國家以及巴基斯坦轉向使用更高污染的燃料，並不得不削減發電量，進而導致工業產能陷入停擺。反常的是，儘管油價飆升，目前許多地方的天然氣價格（按能源單位計算）已經比燃料油更貴。隨著歐洲為了補充異常偏低的儲備而加入夏季現貨爭奪戰，天然氣價格恐怕還會再攀高峰。 廣告 至於涵蓋多數亞洲進口量的「長約」天然氣價格也即將飆升，因為這些合約通常與國際油價連動。這可能迫使泰國、越南等經濟狀況稍好的買家縮減採購。而南韓與台灣雖然較富裕，但極度依賴海灣供應，未來將面臨巨額帳單或能源配給。 靠著充裕的油氣儲備，中國暫時還能維持運作。但該區其餘國家很可能遭受嚴重的經濟打擊。（本文由「經濟學人」獨家授權轉載）

title: 花兆元買安全？臺灣軍購政策的現實問題

content_text:
墨新聞｜編輯中心

近年來，臺灣安全議題再度成為政治攻防的焦點。據統計，美方核准但迄今尚未交付的對臺軍售總額已突破200億美元（約新臺幣6973億元）。然而在此同時，立法院仍將重新審視行政院提出、總額高達1.25兆元的新一輪軍購計畫，使得軍購議題再度成為朝野爭論的核心。

中國國民黨黨主席鄭麗文（圖／國民黨網站）在野陣營方面，鄭麗文領導的中國國民黨與黃國昌領導的台灣民眾黨，與韓國瑜所主持的中華民國立法院，已決定重新審查這項規模龐大的軍購案。據了解，鄭麗文方面主張嚴格檢視行政院提出的1.25兆元版本，並以「3500億元＋N」作為可討論的基準。其理由在於，目前完成採購程序並具體落實的軍購項目，約僅3500億元左右，因此質疑行政院為何不將相關軍費直接編列於常態年度國防預算，而需透過特別預算處理。

民進黨黨部。資料照對此，執政黨方面則提出不同看法。民進黨發言人吳崢反問，在野黨是否注意到2026年度中央政府總預算至今仍未在立法院完成審議。他指出，部分軍購項目具有高度「急迫性」與「必要性」，因此才採取特別預算方式，以因應區域安全情勢快速變動。

從政治層面觀察，這場爭論顯然呈現典型的朝野對立：一方質疑軍購規模過大、程序不清；另一方則強調安全威脅迫切、必須加速部署。可謂「公說公有理，婆說婆有理」。

然而，在更宏觀的戰略層面，問題或許並不僅止於預算數字本身。隨著中國大陸在西太平洋軍事與海上力量的快速擴展，臺灣周邊海空域的監控與活動密度明顯提高。無論東、西、南、北方向，解放軍與海警力量都已逐漸形成常態化巡弋與監控態勢，使得臺海周邊的安全環境日益複雜。

圖／翻攝新華社例如2025年底，一起引發廣泛討論的事件便是中國海警艦隊與直升機編隊在臺灣周邊重要航路實施立體封控行動。當時中國海警局艦艇曾攔截並登檢一艘由長榮海運營運的貨輪，該船據稱搭載海馬斯多管火箭系統相關裝備。海警執法人員甚至從直升機索降登船實施查證與查扣。此一事件也讓部分輿論開始思考：在高度軍事監控環境下，軍購武器未來能否順利運抵臺灣，是否可能面臨更多不確定因素。

圖／翻攝新華社除此之外，軍事科技發展的速度亦是另一個值得關注的議題。近年來，中國在航空與武器研發領域持續投入巨額資源，部分軍事觀察者甚至指出，中國已開始布局第七代戰機概念，而美國第六代戰機仍處於研發階段。若從技術競賽角度來看，區域軍力平衡正處於快速變動之中。

在此背景下，臺灣社會對於軍備與和平之間的取捨，也呈現出複雜心態。一方面，面對安全壓力，部分民眾認為提升防衛能力勢在必行；另一方面，也有相當比例的社會聲音希望兩岸能透過對話與協商降低衝突風險，避免局勢走向軍事對抗。

更值得注意的是，鄭麗文計畫上半年訪問大陸之際，若臺灣同時大規模推進對美軍購，也可能對兩岸互動氛圍產生一定影響。畢竟在北京的戰略視角中，對美軍購往往被視為針對解放軍的軍事部署。

因此，軍購問題實際上已不僅是單純的國防預算議題，而是涉及兩岸關係、區域戰略與國際政治的複雜課題。臺灣究竟應如何在安全防衛、外交關係與和平穩定之間取得平衡，或許才是這場爭論背後更深層的問題。

在地緣政治日益緊張的西太平洋，任何決策都不只是財政或軍事選擇，更是關於臺灣未來道路的重要抉擇。（前民眾日報資深記者 屈文峰）

墨新聞｜記者梁偉華／台北報導

中東局勢急遽升溫，美國與以色列對伊朗發動大規模空襲後，伊朗隨即展開武力報復，整個中東地區陷入高度緊張。就在全球關注戰火之際，國際療癒美聲團體「FIVE TWO EIGHT 五二八」今（10日）推出全新單曲《Skyline Miracle》（天際奇蹟），並同步釋出先前遠赴紐約拍攝的MV（https://youtu.be/kKejOGxi6wI） 。然而團體核心成員之一劉玳妍此刻卻身在杜拜，親身經歷飛彈與無人機警報，第一時間透過社群向粉絲報平安。

隨著美國與以色列空襲伊朗後，伊朗發動飛彈與無人機群攻擊，杜拜一度遭遇前所未有的飽和式攻擊。所幸阿聯酋防空系統成功攔截絕大多數目標，未造成重大傷亡。長年居住在杜拜、身價數億資產的靈性企業家阿卡莎納，也在社群上不斷向外界報平安，表示雖然一開始警報聲與砲彈聲頻傳，但整體仍相對安全。

阿卡莎納更在IG語出驚人表示：「第三次世界大戰開打了，你的錢還安全嗎？還是準備等著破產？」他認為戰爭本質其實是一場巨大的金融事件，「政府一旦為戰爭大量印鈔，通膨就會燒光你的存款。」他更指出，美國國債已達38兆美元，油價甚至可能飆破200美元，全球金融體系正面臨巨大壓力。

阿卡莎納也分享自己的財務觀念，認為在動盪年代想保障資產，必須掌握「有錢人的三招」：第一存黃金、第二存比特幣、第三存實體資產。他強調自己早在多年前就完成資產分散，「對於平常就有投資的人來說，我們很早就做好財務規劃與分配，所以並沒有安全感的問題，一切都在掌握之內。」

同樣身在杜拜的劉玳妍，這幾天也持續在IG發文向粉絲報平安。她透露自己搬到杜拜將近一年，「從2月28日開始空中交戰，掉落的碎片有波及部分建築並引發小型火災，但都很快被控制，目前杜拜整體環境沒有特別大的損害。」

談到第一時間的心情，劉玳妍坦言：「第一天真的有點緊張，甚至差點哭出來，沒想到戰爭離我這麼近。」但她也觀察到當地居民其實相當冷靜，「杜拜國防系統真的很厲害，雖然常常收到警報聲，但很多家庭還是照常帶小孩出門、逛百貨或去超商。」

她也透露自己住在離市中心與軍事設施較遠的地方，因此相對安全，「糧食也很充足，一切安好。害怕值可能不到50%，但我還是準備了戰爭避難包。」至於是否看到傷亡，她表示目前生活周圍沒有看到，「很多居民仍維持正常生活與娛樂。」

阿卡莎納則表示自己已在杜拜生活10年，非常喜歡當地氣候、治安與投資環境，「以前住在英國，飛亞洲沒有那麼方便，現在從杜拜往返台灣非常方便。」談到是否害怕，他笑說：「我住在18000平方公尺的房子裡，應該不會到不舒服，杜拜防空做得很好，目前沒有感到恐懼。」

面對動盪局勢，「FIVE TWO EIGHT 五二八」仍持續透過音樂傳遞希望。團體去年推出單曲〈為愛而戰〉，歌詞便描述衝突時代中人們仍要守護愛與環境；今年初發行的〈Circles〉則描繪人生旅途中的迷惘與掙扎，融合流行音樂與身心靈療癒概念。

新歌《Skyline Miracle》則象徵在人類動盪的時代中，仍能在天際看見奇蹟與希望。團隊希望透過音樂帶給世界更多平靜與力量，也再次用作品回應這個充滿變動的時代。除了音樂創作，阿卡莎納也長期投入公益，曾在肯亞捐出數百萬幫助弱勢孩童教育與醫療。他表示，希望透過自己成功翻轉的顯化技巧與商業經驗，幫助更多正在谷底努力的人。

阿卡莎納透露，3月11日將舉辦一場線上事業分享會，分享如何建立財務事業結構與被動收入模式。他表示：「當你懂得這套事業技巧，不論身在任何國家或任何時間點，都能幫自己建立事業，打造被動收入，實現財務自由與時間自由。」他最後也感性表示：「世界很亂，但只要改變頻率、改善生活，讓更多人變好，這世界就會多一點希望。」

DETERRENCE: With 1,000 indigenous Hsiung Feng II and III missiles and 400 Harpoon missiles, the nation would boast the highest anti-ship missile density in the world

With Taiwan wrapping up mass production of Hsiung Feng II and III missiles by December and an influx of Harpoon missiles from the US, Taiwan would have the highest density of anti-ship missiles in the world, a source said yesterday.

Taiwan is to wrap up mass production of the indigenous anti-ship missiles by the end of year, as the Chungshan Institute of Science and Technology has been meeting production targets ahead of schedule, a defense official with knowledge of the matter said.

Combined with the 400 Harpoon anti-ship missiles Taiwan expects to receive from the US by 2028, the nation would have an arsenal of 1,400 anti-ship missiles, making it the country with the highest density of anti-ship missiles in the world, the official said.

Under the Sea Air Combat Power Improvement Plan, the institute is on track to produce 1,000 Hsiung Feng II and III missiles by the end of the year, the official said.

The program, which stemmed from the nation’s asymmetric defense strategy revolving around the “porcupine” approach to deter a Chinese invasion, devotes significant resources to coastal defense, they said.

The institute has been producing 131 Hsiung Feng II and Hsiung Feng II extended range missiles and 70 Hsiung Feng III and Hsiung Feng III extended range missiles per year, the official said.

Following the end of manufacturing, the institute would work on upgrading the Hsiung Feng II and III missiles, improving precision and hardening against jamming by upgrading the electronics guidance system, the official said

Defense officials say the nation would need 232 such systems, the source said.

The capabilities of the indigenously produced high-performance anti-ship missiles would be bolstered by the US-made Harpoon systems in a “high-low” mix, the official said.

The nation expects to receive 32 Harpoon Coastal Defense Systems with 128 missiles next year, out of the full order for 100 launcher systems and 400 missiles, they added.

The navy is establishing a littoral combatant command in July as part of a reorganization, the official said.

The new headquarters would bring all coastal defense anti-ship missile units under the same command to improve the military’s capability to conduct multilayered saturation strikes on the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy, they said.

A large force of mobile coastal defense missile batteries dispersed across the nation’s coastline would be a powerful deterrent against Beijing’s expansionist ambitions in Taiwan, the official said.

Mutual visits between Taiwan and Japan reached a record-high 8.213 million last year, with visits by members of Japan’s ruling and opposition parties also setting a new record at 120, the Taiwan-Japan Relations Association said yesterday.

Mutual visits have steadily increased after the COVID-19 pandemic, displaying the vibrant interactions and exchanges between the two nations across various sectors, including tourism, said Lin Yu-hui (林郁慧), deputy secretary-general of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ affiliated agency.

Japanese lawmakers made more than 120 visits last year, demonstrating how much they value and support Taiwan, she added.

On trade and investment, Japan was Taiwan’s fourth-largest trade partner and a major source of foreign investment and technical expertise, while Taiwan was Japan’s third-largest trade partner last year, Lin said.

“Last year, bilateral trade totaled more than US$84.85 billion and bilateral investment reached more than US$3.031 billion, also demonstrating the close and friendly economic and trade exchanges between the two sides,” she said.

Asked about Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Guo Jiakun’s (郭嘉昆) comments about Premier Cho Jung-tai’s (卓榮泰) visit to Japan, Lin said the visit showed the deep friendship between Taiwan and Japan.

Cho on Saturday flew to Tokyo to cheer for Taiwan’s national team at a World Baseball Classic game.

Asked about the trip, Guo told a news briefing in Beijing on Monday that it was “sneaky and shameful behavior that is beneath contempt.”

Cho “harbored sinister motives” and “sneaked into Japan to engage in surreptitious ‘independence’ provocations,” he said.

Beijing resolutely opposes Japan’s attempts to play “edge ball” or seek breakthroughs on the Taiwan issue, Guo said.

Japan must bear all the consequences for indulging provocative and reckless behavior, he said, adding that China would continue to unwaveringly strike “Taiwan independence” separatist forces and resolutely oppose interference in the Taiwan issue by external forces.

Dismissing Guo’s comments, Lin said: “Taiwan and Japan are close neighbors whose people share a deep friendship. Both sides belong to the camp of free and democratic nations, sharing core values, including freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law.”

“We maintain close and friendly cooperative relations across all fields, serving as important partners and precious friends to one another, as well as a force for good in maintaining peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region,” she said.

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has long supported Taiwan, while her Cabinet is also very Taiwan-friendly, including Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara and Japanese Minister of Foreign Affairs Toshimitsu Motegi, who have both openly expressed wishes to deepen exchanges and cooperation with Taiwan, Lin said.

“Steadily advancing Taiwan-Japan relations is the Japanese government’s basic stance and a social consensus,” she added.

The ministry is looking forward to the continuous expansion of exchanges and cooperation between Taiwan and Japan across various fields, and upholding the “integrated diplomacy” concept, and the ministry will continue to work closely with Japan to deepen a comprehensive partnership based on mutual benefit, Lin said.

Premier Cho Jung-tai (卓榮泰) yesterday said that he paid all of the flight, bus fare and match admission costs on a recent trip to Japan, adding that “only the Chinese Communist Party [CCP] and you [the Chinese Nationalist Party, KMT] are upset” about the visit.

Cho attended the World Baseball Classic game between Taiwan and the Czech Republic in Tokyo on Saturday via a charter flight, the first time a sitting Taiwanese premier has visited Japan since Taipei and Tokyo severed formal diplomatic ties in 1972.

Cho on Sunday said it was a personal trip that he paid for out of his own pocket on his day off.

Opposition parties have accused Cho of using public resources for personal purposes, demanding to know who paid the bills and asking why the plane took off from the air force Songshan Base Command’s VIP ramp at Taipei International Airport if Cho was in a personal capacity.

During a plenary session at the Legislative Yuan yesterday, Cho asked KMT Legislator Wang Hung-wei (王鴻薇) to clarify her “million-dollar corruption” allegation.

Wang replied: “Are you now attacking because you are guilty yourself?” and said that Cho should provide evidence immediately.

“I can provide the evidence — what will you do then?” Cho said.

“Show it,” Wang said. “If you cannot, then you are the one involved in corruption.”

She asked why China Airlines had not commented on the matter, whether its silence implicated Cho, how much was spent on flight tickets and whether the payment was for individual seats or the entire charter.

China Airlines has commercial concerns, Cho said, adding that the cost was reasonable.

He held up a paper bag and asked Wang: “If the documents inside [the bag] are genuine, will [you] take responsibility?”

Wang said that lawmakers are responsible to the public and that Cho was using an “age-old trick” with the paper bag.

The Executive Yuan should immediately release the documents to put the matter to rest, she added.

Wang said that as the trip had sparked so much criticism, Cho had a responsibility to explain it to the public.

“Only the CCP and you [the KMT] are upset,” Cho replied.

“We are asking questions on behalf of taxpayers — what is wrong with addressing public concerns?” Wang asked.

Minister of National Defense Wellington Koo (顧立雄) said that Songshan airport is a joint military-civilian airport, with civilian flights handled by the Civil Aeronautics Administration.

Cho said he had been cautious in planning the trip to Japan.

Although it was a private itinerary, he wanted to avoid complications and not make a fuss, he said.

The opposition-driven furor confirmed that seeking permission from Songshan Base Command was the right decision, he said, adding that if he had used the international terminal at the airport, media coverage could have jeopardized the trip.

KNIFE CASE: In a separate case, a court denied a request to detain a man who allegedly attempted to enter the Presidential Office compound with a knife

The sentence given to a former security agent was increased in a second ruling yesterday in a case over leaks of President William Lai’s (賴清德) confidential itinerary, while a businessman who received the data had his initial acquittal overturned.

The Tainan District Prosecutors’ Office had indicted Tsao Keng-chih (曹耿誌), a former National Security Bureau agent, on charges including leaking state secrets and unlawful disclosure of confidential information by a public official and restaurant owner Kuo Yu-ting (郭毓庭) on criminal intent in receiving the data.

In June last year, the Tainan District Court ruled that the bureau had not classified Lai’s itinerary as a state secret.

It found Tsao guilty of illegally using personal data by abusing his position as a public official and sentenced him to six months in prison, not commutable to a fine, and fined him NT$200,000, while Kuo was acquitted.

However, the Tainan branch of the High Court yesterday ruled that the first-instance ruling failed to address that Tsao had illegally collected and processed personal data, and that Kuo shared criminal intent and responsibility, making him a joint principal offender.

Tsao’s actions damaged the president’s right to privacy and safety, as well as endangering national security, it said, adding that the initial trial failed to thoroughly examine the evidence presented against Kuo.

It increased Tsao’s sentence to eight months and the fine to NT$250,000, while Kuo was sentenced to 10 months and fined NT$300,000.

The two defendants became acquainted in 2023 while Tsao was a special agent to former Taipei mayor Ko Wen-je (柯文哲) during Ko’s presidential campaign, prosecutors said.

Ko’s campaign borrowed Kuo’s venue for an event in Kaohsiung, they said.

When Lai took office on May 20, 2024, Tsao was reassigned to guard his presidential residence.

Kuo, seeking information on the future election strategies of Lai’s Democratic Progressive Party to help with arrangements in the next Kaohsiung mayoral race, asked Tsao to provide Lai’s daily itinerary, details of who he was meeting, as well as written material from the Presidential Office, prosecutors said.

In other news, the Taipei District Court rejected a request by prosecutors to detain a man who allegedly attempted to enter the Presidential Office compound in Taipei with a knife on Monday.

Prosecutors filed a motion to detain the man, surnamed Lee (李), on suspicion of making threats that endangered public safety, citing strong suspicion of criminal wrongdoing and the risk he could commit similar actions.

However, the Taipei court yesterday ordered Lee to be released without bail, ruling that there was no legal basis for detention and asking prosecutors to consider temporary placement for a mental health evaluation, citing the concerns of his family.

The incident occurred at about 2:50am on Monday.

Lee traveled by taxi from Keelung and brandished a knife in front of the Presidential Office, shouting: “God told me to kill the communists.”

Police rushed to the scene after being alerted by military police and officers from both agencies arrested Lee.

No one was injured in the incident, police said.

Kaohsiung and Taichung mayors to embark on separate US visits today

Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chi-mai (陳其邁) will lead a city delegation to the US starting today to engage with American industry, government, and academia and enhance the southern city’s role in the global high-tech supply chain, the city government said yesterday.

In a statement, the city government said the trip will focus on deepening the strategic partnership between Kaohsiung and the state of Arizona, specifically regarding advanced semiconductor manufacturing.

The delegation’s first stop will be Arizona, where they will meet with various stakeholders to discuss semiconductor and advanced manufacturing cooperation, according to the statement.

The second leg of the trip will take the delegation to San Jose, California for the annual GPU Technology Conference (GTC) hosted by Nvidia Corp from March 16-19, where Chen is expected to meet with company executives to discuss deeper technological cooperation under the “Smart Kaohsiung Lighthouse Project,: it said.

Chen said Kaohsiung is currently at a critical juncture in its transformation toward digitalization and net- zero emissions.

From the advanced semiconductor processes led by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co to artificial intelligence applications driven by Nvidia, Kaohsiung has established an indispensable role in the global semiconductor and AI supply chain, he said in the statement.

During the visit, Chen will hold discussions with US partners on semiconductor industry resilience, city-level sovereign AI governance and international talent cultivation, with the goal of strengthening Kaohsiung’s position in the global high-tech supply chain, the statement said.

Separately, Taichung Mayor Lu Shiow- yen (盧秀燕) will leave today on an 11-day visit to the US aimed at strengthening city-to-city exchanges and engaging with Taiwanese expats.

She said on Monday that her trip will cover five states, primarily on the US East Coast. Planned stops include Boston, New York City, Washington, and Seattle.

During the trip, Lu said that aside from visiting different cities, she will meet members of the US House of Representatives, engage with Taiwanese expatriate communities and sign a memorandum of understanding with the Taiwanese Chambers of Commerce of North America.

Most of the itinerary was arranged at the invitation of the US side, and she hoped to use the visit to speak up for Taiwan and safeguard the interests of the Republic of China, she said.

Among the issues to be discussed, she said, were energy stability, regional security and global trade, and she will also have the chance to listen to US perspectives on international affairs.

HIV/AIDS cases falling, but syphilis is on the rise: CDC

While HIV/AIDS cases have fallen since last year, syphilis infections rose 2 percent, with cases among those aged 15 to 14 rising 8 percent, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) said yesterday.

Newly reported HIV cases have been steadily falling since 2018, reaching 819 cases last year, while gonorrhea cases fell 16 percent from the previous year to 6,417 cases, CDC Epidemic Intelligence Center Deputy Director Lee Chia-lin (李佳琳) said.

The majority of people with gonorrhea were men, while the most common age group was 25 to 34, she said.

“However, annual case numbers of syphilis show a different trend than the previous two diseases, as 9,935 cases were reported last year, about 2 percent higher than the year before, and the numbers indicate a slightly increasing trend,” Lee said.

A breakdown by age groups shows that syphilis is also most common among people aged 25 to 34, but cases reported among people aged 15 to 24 have been steadily and significantly growing, she said.

Syphilis cases among people aged 15 to 24 have increased from 938 cases in 2020 to 1,754 cases in 2024, with 1,892 cases reported last year, indicating an increasing trend, CDC data showed.

The asymptomatic phases of syphilis can easily mislead a person to believe that they no longer have the disease, even though the bacteria that causes the disease continues to spread through the body and damage organs, CDC physician Lin Yung-ching (林詠青) said.

Symptoms typically develop within 10 to 90 days — usually at about three weeks — after exposure to the bacterium Treponema pallidum, which commonly begins with a firm painless skin ulceration, known as a chancre, in the genital area, followed by the swelling of nearby lymph nodes, he said.

People in the primary stage can easily pass the infection to partners, as fluid from the chancre contains a high concentration of the bacteria, Lin said, adding that chancres often heal on their own in a few weeks without treatment, but the bacteria would continue to spread in the body.

Secondary syphilis is when symptoms reoccur weeks or months after the initial infection, characterized by a non-itchy rash covering the body as the bacteria spreads through the bloodstream, and it can also invade the central nervous system, leading to headaches and vomiting, he said.

The symptoms can resolve on their own and enter another “latent stage,” but the infected person remains contagious for at least the first year of infection, Lin said.

Left untreated up to three to seven years or more, the disease enters the tertiary stage, with symptoms including gummas (soft tumor-like growths) on the skin, bones or internal organs; cardiovascular and neurosyphilis issues; or irreversible damage to the organs, including the eyes and ears, which, in some, cases poses fatal risks, he said.

HIV/AIDS, gonorrhea, syphilis and mpox are sexually transmitted infections (STI) that are mainly transmitted through unprotected sex, and their initial symptoms can sometimes be mistaken as other diseases and neglected, he said.

People who have engaged in unprotected sex with multiple partners or a partner whose STI status is unknown, are advised to get tested for STIs every three to six months, Lin said.

The CDC also advises people to learn proper contraceptive use and use only water-based lubricants to prevent breakage of condoms, never oil-based products, he said

People should also seek medical attention for post-exposure prophylaxis within 72 hours after having unprotected sex with a potential STI infected person, he added.

Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) lawmakers on Monday said they would seek to amend the Juvenile Justice Act (少年事件處理法) to require that victims’ opinions be considered in parole reviews, following an outcry that the sentencing of two teenagers for the stabbing death of a fellow student was too lenient.

In December 2023, a male student stabbed a ninth-grader, identified by his surname, Yang (楊), following an argument between Yang and a female student at an unnamed New Taipei City junior high school. The female student allegedly urged the other male student to “kill” Yang during an ensuing fight. Yang was taken to Far Eastern Memorial Hospital in New Taipei City’s Banciao District (板橋), where he died the following evening.

The New Taipei City District Court’s juvenile court in October 2024 sentenced the male student to nine years in prison and the female student to eight years. Following an appeal, the High Court in December last year raised the sentences to 12 years for the boy and 11 years for the girl.

However, the victim’s family said after the High Court ruling that the sentence was insufficient and fell short of their expectation of a 30-year prison term.

KMT legislators, led by Hung Meng-kai (洪孟楷), on Monday told reporters they would propose a “graded parole” mechanism for serious crimes, and that input from the victim and their family must be considered during parole reviews.

The amendments to the act would “restore fairness and justice” for victims, Hung said, adding that he hoped a bill could be scheduled for review in the coming weeks and that government agencies would draft their own proposals.

Under the proposed graded parole system, in cases of premeditated murder, injuries resulting in death or other intentional violent acts resulting in death where the final prison sentence is 10 years or more, parole would be strictly prohibited, while the parole review must take into consideration input from the victim’s family members, Hung said.

The operator of a “rabbit restaurant” in New Taipei City’s Bali District (八里) has been referred to prosecutors after multiple bunnies allegedly died at the eatery, New Taipei City Animal Protection and Health Inspection Office Director Yang Shu-fang (楊淑方) said yesterday.

The restaurant promoted itself on social media as a “rabbit restaurant,” where customers could interact with the furry mammals while enjoying their meal, the office said.

During an inspection in the middle of January, officials found signs in the restaurant encouraging patrons to feed the animals with spoons, indicating that the rabbits were being used as a part of an attraction, Yang said.

Such activities constitute an unauthorized animal exhibition, which under the Animal Protection Act (動物保護法) carries a fine of up to NT$250,000 (US$7,855), she said.

Several rabbits were also found to be infected with diseases, including mange, she added.

Officials ordered the operator to stop the activity immediately and sent the sick rabbits for medical treatment, the office said.

However, a follow-up inspection at the end of January found that many of the rabbits had died, it said.

Authorities confiscated the remaining animals and arranged for the Taiwan Rabbit Saving Association to provide medical care and shelter.

Autopsies of the rabbits revealed widespread mange infections, as well as torn ears and inflamed, bleeding paws, the office said, adding that their stomachs were nearly empty and contained no feces, while some female rabbits were found to be pregnant.

Investigators said they believe the animals had been kept in poor conditions and suffered from long-term malnutrition, with illnesses left untreated, ultimately leading to their deaths.

Failure to provide necessary medical care for sick animals can result in a fine of up to NT$75,000, while intentional abuse causing an animal’s death can carry a prison sentence of up to two years and a fine of up to NT$2 million, they added.

DIPLOMATIC MANEUVER: A new source of funding for overseas ventures would give Taiwan more financial muscle to counter Beijing’s efforts to isolate the nation

Taiwan is considering selling debt for the first time to finance overseas investments as it intensifies efforts to resist the diplomatic isolation imposed by China, officials familiar with the matter said.

The department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs responsible for international aid is preparing the issuance of sustainable development bonds likely denominated in New Taiwan dollars, with an initial size equivalent to as much as US$200 million, the officials said, asking not be identified discussing private deliberations.

The financing raised by the International Cooperation and Development Fund (ICDF) would mainly go toward projects abroad, potentially including those related to green energy infrastructure, renewable-powered computing centers for artificial intelligence (AI) and remote sensing systems monitoring climate change, they said.

A new source of funding for overseas ventures would give Taipei more financial muscle to counter Beijing’s efforts to isolate the nation.

The ICDF’s first attempt at tapping debt markets follows efforts by Taiwan to leverage its economic strength to expand the nation’s sway overseas, wielding its technological edge as a weapon to deter adversaries and a tool to engage with others. After taking office in 2024, Minister of Foreign Affairs Lin Chia-lung (林佳龍) announced the establishment of a task force to promote economic diplomacy through cooperation between different ministries.

The ICDF, which holds about NT$15 billion (US$471.3 million) in assets, is consulting with authorities, including the Financial Supervisory Commission and the Taipei Exchange, to clear regulatory requirements, the officials said.

The bond issuance requires regulatory approval, because it would be the first time a non-profit private entity, sometimes used for government projects, has sought to borrow money from the public this way.

In response to a request for comment, the fund’s spokesperson said the option of borrowing is still under discussion and has not been finalized.

Founded in 1996, the ICDF is at the forefront of programs to provide aid to Taiwan’s diplomatic allies, with agriculture and healthcare as its main focus areas.

The scope of its development projects has recently been expanding to fields such as AI applications, including in countries without official diplomatic ties with Taiwan — with the Philippines being one such example.

Taiwan has also backed a plan to build an AI computing center in Paraguay, one of the officials said.

The project, which is not linked to the possible bond fundraising, is already under way in the Latin American nation that recognizes Taiwan, the official said, adding that using the bonds for AI computing centers in the future remains under discussion.

Innolux Corp (群創) yesterday said it would sell a panel module assembly facility in Tainan to chip testing and packaging service provider ChipMOS Technologies Inc (南茂科技) for NT$880 million (US$27.65 million), the latest turnaround efforts made by the flat panel maker through asset rejuvenation.

ChipMOS clinched the deal as it is seeking to expand capacity significantly this year to satisfy rapidly growing customer demand for memory chips and logic chips used in AI-related devices amid the latest memory chip supercycle and the artificial intelligence boom.

The disposal of Innolux’s Fab 2 would “inject fresh capital into the company’s operations and help drive future growth momentum,” the company said in a regulatory filing.

The company said it expects to book NT$659 million in disposal gains.

Innolux is looking to improve its profitability by optimizing its product portfolio and converting capacity for panel-level chip packaging services, as it faces an increasingly challenging market dominated by Chinese rivals.

The company’s board of directors had authorized chairman Jim Hung (洪進揚) to seek potential buyers for Fab 2 and Fab 5 and help restructure the company. Innolux closed Fab5 fab, a large-scale 5-generation fab, in summer last year in preparation for potential disposal.

Local media speculated the potential buyers of Fab 5 could be US-based Micron Technology Inc or Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電), but Micron was removed from the shortlist after it in January agreed to buy a fab in Miaoli County from Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp (力積電) for US$1.8 billion.

Innolux said it swung into a loss of NT$19 million in the final quarter of last year, compared with profits of NT$67 million in the previous quarter and NT$9.03 billion a year earlier.

Non-operating income shrank to NT$56 million last quarter from NT$1.36 billion in the previous quarter and NT$14.5 billion a year earlier after selling a 5.5-generation plant to TSMC.

Last year as a whole, Innolux’s revenue increased 4.7 percent to NT$226.72 billion from NT$216.51 billion in 2024.

The flat panel display business accounted for 65 percent of total revenue last year, the company said.

While operating losses decreased to NT$4.16 billion last year from NT$7.92 billion in 2024, the company’s net profit last year still plunged about 96 percent to NT$250 million from NT$6.47 billion in 2024.

Earnings per share dropped to NT$0.03 from NT$0.76, it said.

Innolux expects non-display product shipments this quarter to grow 27 to 28 percent from last quarter, with shipments of commercial displays projected to increase by a low-single-digit percentage and shipments of displays used in consumer electronics likely to decline by a low-single-digit percentage, the company said.

Apple Inc increased iPhone production in India by about 53 percent last year and now makes a quarter of its marquee devices there, reflecting the US company’s efforts to avoid tariffs on China.

The company assembled about 55 million iPhones in India last year, up from 36 million a year earlier, people familiar with the matter said, asking not to be named because the numbers aren’t public. Apple makes about 220 million to 230 million iPhones a year globally, with India’s share of the total increasing rapidly.

Apple has accelerated its expansion in the world’s most populous country in recent years, bolstered by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s production-linked incentives aimed at turning India into the world’s factory. The subsidies have helped offset some of the structural cost disadvantages that manufacturers face in India, including the lack of a China-like robust supply chain and logistics challenges.

Last year, shipments from China, where Apple still makes the bulk of iPhones, faced headwinds as a result of US tariffs related to the two economic powers’ trade war. The levies pushed Apple and its suppliers to move a greater share of devices meant for the American market to alternative manufacturing destinations, with India emerging as a major brightspot.

An Apple spokesperson declined to comment.

Even though the gap has narrowed, electronics assembly and component manufacturing still costs more in India than in countries including China and Vietnam. That’s prompted Apple, Samsung Electronics Co and others to seek more government support.

Companies are discussing with New Delhi another round of incentives to support export growth. India’s current production subsidies for smartphones expire on March 31 and with the US Supreme Court striking down some of the duties affecting China, India needs to move quickly to remain cost competitive.

Cupertino, California-based Apple currently assembles all versions of the latest iPhone 17 lineup in India, including the high-end Pro and Pro Max models. Its suppliers in India, including Foxconn Technology Group (富士康), Tata Electronics Pvt Ltd and Pegatron Corp (和碩), also build older models such as the iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 for local sales and export.

The rising output in India highlights Apple’s long-term supply chain strategy to build a second major iPhone manufacturing base to serve global demand. The company is deepening and widening its local supplier partnerships to make components including lithium-ion cells, watch and phone enclosures and accessories such as AirPods.

Beyond manufacturing, Apple is targeting market share gains in a region where sales have surged past US$9 billion. It’s preparing to launch Apple Pay in India later this year and its retail network now comprises six stores, underscoring the country’s growing importance as not just a production hub but also a fast-growing consumer market.

From pottery to needlepoint, young people embrace ‘grandma hobbies’While Emma MacTaggart started needlepoint to reduce her screen time, the business she founded from it, What’s the Stitch, has garnered interest online

By age 23, Emma MacTaggart was already noticing how rare her free time was — and how it was seldom screen-free.

She was working long hours in investment banking and once she was finally able to log off after work, she would turn to her phone. Along with her roommates, she decided to hunt for a hobby that would replace that habit.

They became “hooked” on needlepoint, she said, a practice she had briefly learned from relatives as a child, but one that she had not picked up in years.

She has not turned back since.

“It was a really therapeutic way to kind of distract yourself from either work or stress, but also just do something with your hands instead of doomscrolling,” she said. “We became completely obsessed.”

MacTaggart is part of a throng of young people who are turning to analog hobbies and activities as a means of escaping technology, and reconnecting with childlike creativity and exploration. Somewhat ironically, this analog movement has been galvanized by its trendiness on social media.

Some of these hobbies — knitting, gardening and, of course, needlepoint — have been ascribed the term “grandma hobbies” online, referring to the older demographic that is often been associated with them.

However, many other offline, tactile hobbies, such as pottery, origami and even blacksmithing, have gained traction online with Gen Z and millennials recently.

A younger crowd embraced such hobbies in 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic left many with more free time, but “grandma hobbies” have persisted beyond a pandemic fad and some seem to be picking up steam in their popularity online.

While she said she may not consider herself a crafty person, MacTaggart, now 26, founded the needlepoint business What’s the Stitch and runs popular social media profiles of the same name. After seeing growing interest in her content, she began to build up her business and now sells needlepoint canvases, accessories and digital designs. The flair MacTaggart puts into her creations is a touch of cheeky humor and, occasionally, profanity.

“It is such a historically buttoned up craft, so it’s fun to put a young spin on it,” she said.

Jaime Kurtz, a professor of psychology at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia, whose research focuses on happiness, said many of these activities can also help to reduce anxiety and stress, and provide a sense of accomplishment, as they require focus and can be challenging.

“Hobbies are really important, and a lot of us have lost them, or we just don’t prioritize them enough, or we think we’re too busy, but just finding little bits of time to carve out to do these kinds of things is a really wise use of time,” Kurtz said.

Clara Sherman, who cofounded the company So Bam Fun to “reinvigorate” the game of mahjong with a younger generation, said that when she plays the game with friends, she is able to reach a “zen state.”

“You kind of feel like you’re existing in this little bubble of just myself, my friends and this game we’re all enjoying together,” Sherman said. “It just really does allow you to shut off the rest of the world.”

Some young hobbyists are not looking to escape their phones through their activity of choice, but are interested in how modern technology can enhance their experience.

Isaiah Scott, a birdwatcher, artist and content creator, said that the app eBird is a key part of his experience. It allows birders to log and track their observations while also contributing to scientific research and conservation.

It is easy to say his generation is “glued to their phones,” Scott said, but that access to technology also “opens so many doors to get involved in hobbies that may have been forgotten about or [are] just difficult to get into otherwise.”

Scott, who is based in Savannah, Georgia, said that bird watching is akin to the Pokemon games he loved growing up.

“It feels like a video game, but in real life,” he said.

Traveling to different regions is like unlocking a new map, he said, and racking up a high number of species seen is like achieving a high score.

Scott has seen about 800 different species himself.

Beyond providing him with an enriching hobby, birdwatching set Scott, 22, on a mission to “protect and to conserve our natural world.”

He founded the nonprofit Rookery and Roots Conservancy and recently purchased a 6.5 hectare parcel of land in Rincon, Georgia, to safeguard wildlife habitats. The purchase was made possible in part because of the platform he has built online.

Exposure to global audiences online has helped other analog hobbyists build and operate thriving businesses thanks to their social media popularity.

Anna Weare, for one, is a fulltime blacksmith and farrier, but she is also known online as AnvilAnna.

She had already been working successfully with a slew of clients when she started posting videos on TikTok and other social platforms, where she has got international reach and enthusiasm. Weare thinks some of the shine on blacksmithing and other centuries-old practices could be due to fatigue over a hyper-digitalized world and poorly made products. The waitlist to snag Weare’s coveted one-piece spurs, which are recognized for their durability and rarity, is about a year long.

“People, now more than ever, are realizing that things made in factories or mass produced, they wear out so quickly,” said Weare, 27.

Whether they are buying products she made or inspired by her content to pick up the hammer themselves, Weare said “people want longevity, and this craft has been around for so long for a reason.”

Many crafters and hobbyists also feel a strong sense of community among their peers.

Kristie Landing created Verse & Sip, a platform and collective for poets and poetry lovers, and she posts videos online of letter writing, letter locking, wax seals and origami, among other paper crafts.

Landing, 34, said she constantly gets questions from an “active community” of viewers about the type of paper she uses or where she bought her tools, but they are also interested in connecting with each other.

She recently started a pen pal matching service after receiving an abundance of comments from followers who expressed that they would like to have someone to swap letters with — particularly someone who would appreciate the care they put into their physical communications, or just admire their penmanship.

Landing also created the Verse & Sip Mail Club, where she sends out an original poem and an accompanying tea monthly to a couple of hundred people across the globe.

She hopes her online content will provide viewers with a similar sense of joy and calm as reading a hard copy of a poem over a cup of tea would.

“I am trying to create slower moments on platforms that are based on really quick, short attention span kind of videos,” she said. “These kind of stop you in the scroll.”

Many hobbyists said that they do not see their activity of choice as a fad or a temporary trend, but rather as part of a more intentional embrace of the analog world.

As far as the moniker of “grandma hobbies” goes, MacTaggart, for one, welcomes the label.

“I joke with my friends that I have been a grandma my whole life, so it’s only fitting that this is now my career,” she said.

EXCESSIVE VIOLENCE: The rights group urged the government to rein in its security forces and private contractors that have been using drones equipped with explosives

Drones operated by Haitian security forces and private contractors have killed at least 1,243 people and injured 738, Human Rights Watch (HRW) said yesterday.

Of those killed, 17 were children and 43 were adults not believed to be members of any criminal group; of those injured, at least 49 were believed to be civilians, the rights group said.

The killings took place between March 1 last year and Jan. 21.

The most lethal drone operation killed 57 people, HRW said.

“Haitian authorities should urgently rein in the security forces and private contractors working for them before more children die,” Juanita Goebertus, Americas director at Human Rights Watch, said in a statement.

A spokesperson for Haiti’s National Police did not respond to a request for comment.

The nonprofit said the number of armed drone attacks in Haiti’s capital, Port-au-Prince, which is 90 percent controlled by gangs, has “significantly increased” in the past few months, with 57 reported from November to late January, almost double that of the 29 attacks reported from August through October last year.

HRW said its researchers analyzed seven videos uploaded to social media or shared directly with the group that show armed quadcopter drones in action and geolocated four of them to Port-au-Prince.

“The videos show the repeated use of drones equipped with explosives to attack vehicles and people, some of them armed, but none who appear to be engaged in violent acts or pose any imminent threat to life,” the group said.

HRW said it did not find widespread drone use among criminal groups.

One of the attacks highlighted in the report occurred on Sept. 20 in the Simon Pele neighborhood, an extremely impoverished community controlled by a gang of the same name.

The drone attack killed nine people, including three children, and injured at least eight as the leader of the Simon Pele gang prepared to distribute gifts to children in the area.

Human Rights Watch quoted one unnamed resident recalling how the explosion ripped both feet off a baby.

Among those killed was a six-year-old girl, whose unidentified mother was quoted as saying: “In the spaces where the gangs are, there are innocent people, people who raise their children, who follow normal paths.”

The families of those killed said the criminal group organized and controlled access to their funerals, HRW said.

“Some residents said that only people who accepted money or support from the criminal group had been allowed to attend the funeral,” the report said.

On Jan. 1 of this year, an unidentified woman was quoted as saying that she saw a drone fall and explode onto a truck that was transporting her cousin, killing her.

“Many of these attacks appear to be attempts to target and kill people in circumstances that amount to unlawful, extrajudicial killings,” HRW said.

“Authorities should also ensure transparency around and accountability for any unlawful death resulting from a security operation, and conduct prompt, thorough and independent investigations to disclose, to the greatest extent possible, the number and identity of victims, and provide adequate reparation where violations have occurred,” the rights group added.

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk has said that the use of lethal force against gangs in Haiti was unnecessary, disproportionate and likely a violation of international law.

Last year, Haiti’s government created a new task force that has operated outside the oversight of Haiti’s National Police and employed the use of explosive drones. The task force is made up of certain police units and private contractors.

In the middle of last year, Vectus Global, the security firm of former US Navy Seal Erik Prince, expected to deploy nearly 200 personnel from various countries to Haiti as part of a one-year deal to quell gang violence there.

Haitian police also are working alongside a UN-backed mission led by Kenyan police that remains underfunded and understaffed. It is soon expected to transform into a so-called gang suppression force in upcoming months.

As Russia’s war in Ukraine rages to the east and the US piles on pressure to spend more on the military, Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis has been focusing on a very different agenda.

The billionaire leader has made a point of placing healthcare at the center of his focus since returning to power in December. Even as his government vows to scale back NATO-mandated defense spending because of budget constraints, Babis said in an interview in Prague that when it comes to funding for healthcare, there would be no such limits.

“We can’t cut corners when it comes to people’s health,” Babis, 71, said last week. “We want to have the best care. We will absolutely subordinate the budget to that. That money has absolute priority.”

That spending approach has been part of Babis’ singular focus on health issues, with plans for a state-of-the-art hospital and a vigorous messaging campaign on cancer prevention, heart disease and mental health.

The agenda collides with mounting pressure from NATO allies — including the US ambassador — and political opponents at home to maintain higher defense spending. Czech President Petr Pavel told lawmakers last week that there is “not a single justifiable reason” for curtailing such investment.

Babis, whose ANO party has forged a coalition with far-right and climate-skeptic allies, has pledged to ditch defense targets set out by his predecessor, including a new NATO benchmark of spending 3.5 percent of economic output on core defense.

He said spending on military would account for more than 2 percent of economic output.

“This represents the maximum we can realistically do within the framework of the state budget,” Babis said. “As our GDP grows, defense spending also increases in nominal term.”

However, in marked contrast with the previous government’s belt-tightening, Babis said the Czech Republic’s low indebtedness, including a debt-to-GDP ratio of about 44 percent, meant that it had the fiscal room to spend on health — and that it should.

“Those investments will bring higher GDP and money — and most importantly, they will bring a healthy, long-lived generation and mentally healthy children,” he said.

That priority was on display last month. Instead of attending an event to mark four years of war, the prime minister toured a hospital in Pilsen, pledging state funding for a new surgical unit worth 3.2 billion koruna (US$152 million).

Babis said he would stand by the Czech Republic’s universal healthcare, which covers the population of 11 million through mandatory insurance.

Doing otherwise would create a dual-track system — “for the rich, and for the others,” Babis said.

The country performs above average on several health policy metrics within the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Still, healthcare spending per capita and life expectancy remain below the OECD average.

Babis declined to discuss Ukraine or defense spending at length — and would not say whether the country would surpass the EU’s deficit-spending limit of 3 percent of GDP. His agenda will appear in next year’s budget, the first to be determined by his coalition, Babis said.

The priorities align with Babis’ claims on the campaign trail last year that the Czech Republic had placed too much emphasis on military aid to Ukraine. An ally of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico, the billionaire also denounced the EU’s migration policies, calling for tighter restrictions with rhetoric that echoed US President Donald Trump.

However, the domestic focus in his three months back in power has meant that he has avoided the running battles waged by Budapest and Bratislava against Brussels. As a populist, Babis has embraced a level of pragmatism that has allowed him to avoid more divisive tension among European capitals.

He has spent more time talking about his flagship plan for a new hospital, a greenfield project that would combine services from two of Prague’s three older hospitals and absorb some capacity from a third.

Still, Babis’s health obsession has drawn some mixed reactions. Critics say the approach lacks a strategy and some of his medical advice runs counter to the country’s healthcare recommendations.

Health policy has also been Babis’s undoing. His handling of the COVID-19 pandemic during his first term was pilloried by the opposition for its ballooning spending and the issue contributed to his election defeat in 2021.

However, the prime minister is undeterred. In his office, he leafed through a stack of health-related material detailing new technologies, project pitches — even a timeline on cracking down on the availability of the stimulant herb kratom, which has opioid-like effects, for young people.

Czech citizens write to him for help in fighting cancer and other health problems, he said.

“Being a micromanager — that’s what everyone criticizes me of being, but I’m fine with that,” Babis said. “The people who criticize me should first have a look at their CV and compare it with mine and my achievements in life and politics.”

PATH TO SECURITY: As speculation mounts that Kim and Trump could meet this month, analysts said Pyongyang would continue to see nuclear weapons as a matter of survival

North Korea’s launch last week of a missile from a naval destroyer elicited an uncharacteristically prosaic analysis from the country’s leader, Kim Jong-un.

The launch was proof that arming ships with nuclear weapons was “making satisfactory progress,” he said.

However, the test, and Kim’s mildly upbeat appraisal, were designed to reverberate well beyond the deck of the 5,000-tonne destroyer-class vessel the Choe Hyon — the biggest warship in the North Korean fleet.

His pointed reference to nuclear weapons was made as the US and Israel continued their air bombardment of Iran — a regime US President Donald Trump had warned, without offering evidence, was only weeks away from having a nuclear weapon.

The widening war in the Middle East — and the existential threat to the Iranian regime — has likely reinforced North Korea’s decision to build a nuclear arsenal. For Kim and the dynasty that has ruled North Korea since it was founded by his grandfather in 1948, the nuclear program is about nothing less than regime survival.

“Kim must have thought Iran was attacked like that because it didn’t have nuclear weapons,” Song Seong-jong, a professor at Daejeon University and a former official at the South Korean Ministry of National Defense, said after the Middle East conflict erupted.

North Korea is several years into a nuclear weapons program that has gathered momentum despite UN sanctions and Trump’s attempts to use diplomacy to rid the Korean Peninsula of nuclear weapons.

The North conducted its first nuclear test in 2006 and its most recent in 2017, although doubts persist over the size of Pyongyang’s arsenal and its ability to marry a miniaturized nuclear warhead with a long-range missile theoretically capable of striking the US mainland.

A report last year by Stockholm International Peace Research Institute said the North has assembled about 50 warheads and possesses enough fissile material to produce up to 40 more.

What is certain is Kim’s decision to make nuclear deterrence a priority — and forging a loose alliance with Russia and China — has guaranteed that he would avoid the fate of the former leaders of Iraq and Libya, and now Venezuela and Iran.

The North Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ response to the war in Iran has been nuanced. It condemned the US and Israeli airstrikes last weekend as an “illegal act of aggression” that exposed Washington’s “hegemonic and rogue” instincts, but stopped short of condemning Trump by name.

That leaves the door open to a potential resumption of nuclear talks, contingent on Washington dropping its demand that Pyongyang abandon its nuclear weapons and accepting it as a legitimate nuclear state.

“If the United States withdraws its policy of confrontation with North Korea by respecting our country’s current status … there is no reason why we cannot get along well with the US,” the Korean Central News Agency quoted Kim as saying at a ruling party congress last month.

What is less clear in the minds of analysts is whether the Iran war opens up a new opportunity for talks or pushes the North Korean regime to be more inward looking.

Sydney Seiler, a senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, believes the conflict has made a nuclear deal between Washington and Pyongyang less likely.

“President Trump’s willingness to use military force and threats for negotiating leverage must make Kim nervous and less likely to hastily seek talks,” said Seiler, a former US special envoy who worked on the six-party talks on the North’s nuclear program.

However, other analysts said Kim’s desire to secure the regime’s long-term survival — and his rumored personal rapport with the US president — could draw him back to the negotiating table.

“Unlike Iran, it’s impossible to denuclearize North Korea,” said Cho Han-bum, of the state-run Korea Institute for National Unification, citing the presence of nuclear sites across the isolated country.

Going into those talks as head of a state with a nuclear deterrence could give Kim the latitude to win concessions from Trump, including security guarantees.

Trump has repeatedly said he would be open to meeting Kim, prompting speculation the two could hold talks when Trump visits China at the end of the month.

If those talks materialize, Kim knows he would be negotiating from a position of strength. As the Iranian leadership is finding to its cost, nuclear possession — not ambition — appears to be the path to security.

Environmental Impact Assessment: Taiwan’s climate progress goes largely unnoticedWhile China’s emissions may be stabilizing, Taiwan’s economy is producing far less carbon per dollar of output — even as its manufacturing sector keeps growing

Last month, media outlets including the BBC World Service and Bloomberg reported that China’s greenhouse gas emissions are currently flat or falling, and that the economic giant appears to be on course to comfortably meet Beijing’s stated goal that total emissions will peak no later than 2030.

China is by far and away the world’s biggest emitter of greenhouse gases, generating more carbon dioxide than the US and the EU combined. As the BBC pointed out in their Feb. 12 report, “what happens in China literally could change the world’s weather.”

Any drop in total emissions is good news, of course. By a different metric, however, China’s progress hasn’t been nearly so impressive.

Taiwan’s multi-year transition from burning coal to burning gas is going beyond state-run power plants to include privately-owned facilities like the Formosa Plastics Group’s plant in Mailiao, Yunlin. Photo: TT file photo

Because total emissions tend to increase whenever there’s a boom, then shrink when the economy slumps, experts regard carbon intensity, which reveals how much CO2e is emitted for a given amount of economic activity, as a better indicator. Taiwan’s per capita emissions are a bit higher than China’s, yet recent figures indicate that it is responsible for CO2e emissions of less than 0.19 metric tons per US$1,000 of GDP. To produce output of the same value, China’s economy adds at least 0.41 metric tons of CO2e to the atmosphere.

Taiwan’s carbon intensity is as low as Japan’s and below that of South Korea (estimated at 0.21 to 0.23 metric tons), a country whose development trajectory mirrors that of Taiwan. Of course, international media isn’t likely to highlight this fact, or that Taiwan’s total emissions posted year-on-year declines in 2022, 2023, 2024 and last year, despite economic growth in those years of 2.59 percent, 1.28 percent, 4.59 percent and 8.63 percent, respectively. The rollout of renewables is one factor; burning large amounts of gas rather than coal is another.

According to the most recent edition of the Global Carbon Budget (GCB, published Nov. 13, 2025), Taiwan is one of 35 countries that have “decreased their fossil CO2 emissions significantly…while growing their economies in the decade 2015-2024.” The list includes South Korea and the US, but neither China nor Japan.

By “significantly,” the scientists who collaborated on the GCB report mean they’re at least 95 percent certain that the reduction is due to government policy and technological improvements, not economic malaise or sheer luck (for example, agreeable weather lessening demand for heating or air conditioning).

Over half of the 35 are European nations which have seen many of their carbon-intensive industries, such as steelmaking, relocate to Asia. The decline in Taiwan’s carbon intensity, which in 2010 was north of 0.23 metric tons of CO2e per US$1,000 of GDP, is especially impressive because the country’s industrial structure continues to be heavily weighted toward energy-intensive manufacturing, most famously semiconductors.

Lake District’s UNESCO Status: Blessing or Burden? UNESCO認證的雙面刃：英國湖區的榮耀與困境

The English Lake District, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2017, is renowned for its landscapes, literary legacy and traditional farming. Yet, its esteemed status now sits at the center of a debate: is the designation protecting the region—or harming it?

Conservationist Lee Schofield has sparked controversy by campaigning to revoke the Lake District’s World Heritage status. He argues that the label reinforces unsustainable farming, particularly the dominance of sheep grazing, which prevents ecological restoration and harms biodiversity. The famous Herdwick sheep, while culturally significant, contribute to overgrazing, soil erosion, and the prevention of forest recovery. Schofield clarifies that his goal is not to eliminate farming but to promote eco-friendly practices.

Critics also cite “overtourism” as a major issue. High visitor numbers strain infrastructure, degrade the water quality of lakes such as Windermere, and drive up property prices beyond the means of many local residents. The tourism boom, though economically beneficial, risks transforming the Lake District into a victim of its own success, with crowded trails and commercialized landscapes overshadowing its natural beauty.

Supporters of retaining the designation—including farmers and local businesses — counter that it preserves cultural identity and sustains a tourism-driven economy. Were the status to be lost, livelihoods in farming and hospitality could be undermined. For them, the designation is a source of pride and a tool for sustainable development, not an obstacle.

The debate highlights a fundamental tension: how can the Lake District honor its heritage while adapting to modern challenges? A practical path forward likely combines farming reform, habitat restoration, and better visitor management. Ultimately, the region’s future should be shaped by both its past and the needs of its people. The outcome will determine whether the Lake District remains a model of harmony between nature and culture — or becomes a cautionary tale of mismanaged heritage.

英格蘭湖區自 2017 年獲列聯合國教科文組織世界遺產，以壯麗景觀、文學遺產及傳統農耕聞名。然而這項殊榮如今引發激烈爭議：世界遺產認證究竟在守護這片土地，抑或正在傷害它？

環保人士李·斯科菲爾德發起撤銷湖區世界遺產地位的運動，引發軒然大波。他主張此標籤助長了不永續的農業模式，特別是羊隻放牧的主導地位，阻礙生態修復並危害生物多樣性。著名的赫德威克羊雖具文化意義，卻造成過度放牧、土壤侵蝕並使森林復育受阻。斯科菲爾德澄清其目標並非消除農業，而是推動環境友善的做法。

批評者同時指出過度旅遊是主要問題。龐大遊客量不僅造成基礎設施負荷過重，更導致溫德米爾湖等水域水質惡化，並推升房價至多數當地居民難以負擔的水平。儘管旅遊熱潮帶來經濟效益，卻可能使湖區淪為自身成功的受害者——擁擠的步道與商業化景觀正逐漸掩蓋其自然之美。

支持保留資格的人——包括農民與在地企業——則認為此地位有助保存文化認同並維繫旅遊驅動的經濟。若失去此地位，農業與餐旅業的生計恐將蒙受損失。對他們而言，此資格是驕傲的來源與永續發展的工具，而非阻礙。

這場辯論凸顯了根本性矛盾：湖區該如何在傳承歷史遺產的同時，適應現代挑戰？可行的解決方案應結合農業改革、棲地修復與更完善的遊客管理。最終，該地區的未來應由其歷史與居民需求共同塑造。結果將決定湖區能否持續成為自然與文化和諧共生的典範——抑或淪為遺產管理失當的警示案例。

舒淇初執導筒超狂！《女孩》強勢問鼎導演、編劇

今年入圍名單中最大亮點之一，莫過於金馬影后舒淇首度轉戰幕後、執導的劇情長片《女孩》。她以細膩且私密的女性視角，深掘成長過程中的傷痕，初試啼聲便展現出極具個人風格的創作能量，一舉入圍「最佳導演」與「最佳編劇」兩項大獎，完美詮釋「演而優則導」。而在導演獎項中，她將迎戰以《大濛》展現深厚人文關懷的陳玉勳、刻畫寫實情感的《左撇子女孩》鄒時擎，以及交出史詩紀錄片《由島至島》的廖克發與直視移工處境《白衣蒼狗》的曾威量。

影后死亡之組！翁倩玉、陳意涵「網內互打」對決9m88

本屆演員獎項可說是「世代交替」與「跨界挑戰」的殘酷舞台。最佳女演員項目更因評審票數相同，罕見破例讓6位女星同時入圍！台灣影史票房冠軍《陽光女子合唱團》表現亮眼，資深影后翁倩玉與陳意涵雙雙入圍，上演精彩的「網內互打」。她們將對上《女孩》中影歌雙棲的9m88、《大濛》天才少女方郁婷、《左撇子女孩》馬士媛，以及憑《我家的事》奪下北影影后的高伊玲，老中青三代演技大對決，堪稱超強「死亡之組」。

記者閔文昱／綜合報導

2026年世界棒球經典賽（WBC）小組賽落幕，中華隊10日晚間自日本搭乘專機返台。隊長陳傑憲在返國班機上透過機上廣播向球迷致詞，感謝台灣球迷遠赴東京為球隊加油，直言「能把東京巨蛋變成自己的主場，真的不是一件容易的事情」，一番感性談話也讓不少球迷相當動容。

陳傑憲在廣播中表示，這次看到這麼多台灣球迷來到日本支持中華隊，心中非常感動，「雖然我們的成績不是那麼好，但有這麼多球迷到現場看我們比賽、為我們加油，這份感動我會記在心裡，我相信所有球員也都會放在心裡。」

他也向球迷承諾，未來球員們會持續努力，把最好的表現帶到球場上，「不會辜負大家對我們的期待」。同時，他也向辛苦付出的教練團、球員與Team Taiwan團隊致謝，並希望大家回到台灣後能先沉澱心情，整理狀態，「幾年過後我們繼續再來拚」。

中華隊結束賽事後於10日晚間自東京成田機場搭乘專機返台，駐日代表李逸洋也率領旅日僑胞與代表處同仁逾百人到機場送機，現場揮舞國旗、高喊「台灣尚勇」、「We are Team Taiwan」等口號，為球員送上祝福。

據中職聯盟表示，本次返台航班由華航調度大客機執飛，球員與教練團全數安排商務艙，球團後勤與眷屬則升等豪經艙，希望讓連日征戰的球員能在返國途中好好休息。部分旅美與旅日球員則留在東京，之後將各自返回母隊備戰新球季。

陳傑憲致詞全文：

大家晚安 我是傑憲

這次來了這麼多台灣的球迷

有辦法把東京巨蛋變成自己的主場

這不是一件很容易的事情

雖然我們的成績不是那麼好

但說真的有這麼多的球迷來到現場

記者杜奕君／綜合報導

BWF300等級的瑞士羽球公開賽今（10日）日開打，不過剛在全英公開賽寫下台灣羽壇新頁的男單好手「左手重砲」林俊易，宣布臨時退賽。他坦言，主要考量近期賽事密集、身體負荷過重，因此選擇在此時踩煞車，為後續更重要的國際賽事保留戰力。

林俊易上周在全英公開賽狀態火燙，接連擊退印尼名將克里斯提、法國好手波波夫，以及泰國昆拉武特、印度森等頂尖對手，最終登頂奪冠，成為史上首位在全英公開賽封王的台灣男單選手。靠著這座冠軍，他本週世界排名也躍升至第8名，改寫個人生涯新高。

原本林俊易規劃馬不停蹄銜接瑞士賽，並以第4種子身分出賽，首輪預計對上日本選手田中湧士。他在全英賽後依計畫前往瑞士備戰，但考量德國公開賽出賽4場、全英公開賽再打5場，短短兩周累積9場高強度比賽，最終仍向大會提出退賽申請。

談到接下來的安排，林俊易表示，「會先專心調整身體狀況，下一場國際賽預計是4月登場的亞洲錦標賽，之後還有湯姆斯盃等重要團體賽事，希望能以更理想的狀態，迎接今年後續的一連串挑戰。」

林維恩。（資料照，特派記者陳志曲攝）

〔記者倪婉君／綜合報導〕經典賽台灣隊雖在預賽止步，但全隊在短時間內累積革命情感，尤其在延長賽5：4擊敗南韓一戰，更是本屆台灣隊的經典戰役。效力運動家小聯盟的20歲左投林維恩今從日本返美之前，就表示在本屆賽事能跟李政厚、金慧成，以及金倒永等南韓球員對決，印象很深刻，「很享受對決的感覺，同時期待自己能更好！」

在台灣隊賢拜陳冠宇眼中，林維恩是「表面很搞笑，但內心帶著絕對要贏過人家的心」的新生代強投，他在本屆賽事出賽1場，就是對南韓隊中繼2.1局飆4K失2分。雖然該役林維恩只被敲1支安打，就是6局下被南韓1棒金倒永轟出兩分砲，但他仍迅速回穩，三振掉南韓混血球星瓊斯。

「希望這次比賽與高強度打者對決的經驗能讓自己進步，並對於球季以及往後職業生涯有幫助」，林維恩今天飛回美國向母隊報到，他希望在新球季能保持身體健康，「希望繼續有好的表現，上大聯盟！」

面對油價飆升與中東地緣政治危機，歐盟執委會主席馮德萊恩10日於巴黎核能峰會上坦承，歐洲過去放棄核電是一項「戰略錯誤」。她強調，過度依賴不穩定的化石燃料進口，已讓歐洲在結構上處於劣勢，歐盟將全力轉向支持創新核能技術，以確保能源安全。

法新社報導，歐盟此次政策急轉彎，導火線為美以聯手襲擊伊朗及德黑蘭的報復行動，導致全球能源樞紐荷姆茲海峽運作幾近停擺。雖歐盟官員稱局勢尚未達2022年烏俄戰爭時的危機等級，但高昂能源成本已嚴重削弱歐洲產業對亞洲與美國的競爭力。馮德萊恩直言：「放棄可靠、低碳且負擔得起的核能，代價慘痛。」

馮德萊恩承認錯誤之際，正值歐盟為扭轉頹勢，擬推出新能源計畫，包含撥款兩億歐元擔保，資助小型模組化反應爐（SMRs）等先進技術。此類反應爐發電量雖僅傳統機組三分之一，但建造簡便、安全性高，目標於2030年代初投入運作。資金將源自歐盟排放交易體系（ETS），並同步簡化成員國監管審批流程，力爭追趕中美核能發展步伐。

核能議題在歐洲長期具爭議性。自福島與車諾比核災後，核電一度被視為禁忌，歐盟重心轉向再生能源。但烏俄戰爭促使各國重新評估，法國、荷蘭、瑞典及比利時紛紛擁抱核電，德國總理梅爾茨亦檢討關廠決策為重大失誤；唯奧地利仍堅決反對，西班牙則力挺綠能。

負責產業政策的歐盟執委會執行副主席塞儒內（Stephane Sejourne）10日讚揚此舉打破禁忌，首度將核能納入核心產業戰略。但專家提醒，建新廠曠日費時，短期內綠能仍將主導歐盟電力結構。據歐盟統計局數據，2024年電力供應中，再生能源佔比達47%，核能僅23%。

今年是310圖伯特(西藏)抗暴日67週年，台灣系列行動的主題為「守護轉世自主、反對跨國鎮壓」。上週末（3月7日）大遊行已圓滿結束，雖然遊行沿途出現疑似曾騷擾圖伯特(西藏)活動的人士對著遊行隊伍拍照，用「灰色地帶威脅」意圖施加心理壓力，使參與者產生恐懼。然而，團結的力量更顯巨大，當天有數百位圖伯特(西藏)人、台灣人、香港人及各國友人共同站出來，沿途更有許多市民高舉雙手、比出大拇指，為遊行隊伍加油打氣。

今晚的燭光祈福晚會，除了立法委員及國家人權委員會委員出席，亦有學者與NGO夥伴到場短講聲援。晚會核心議程包括宣讀藏人行政中央（Central Tibetan Administration）的官方抗暴日宣言；最後，全體參與者將進行繞行三圈祈福，並舉行圖伯特(西藏)傳統煙供儀式，為圖伯特(西藏)的自由與和平祈願。

藏人行政中央噶廈於圖伯特自由抗暴

67 週年紀念集會上的講話（摘要）

一、紀念抗暴與致敬犧牲者

今天是1959年圖伯特（西藏）人民在拉薩為反抗中國共產政權入侵、並保護第十四世達賴喇嘛尊者安全而發起自由抗暴運動67週年的紀念日。值此之際，噶廈向所有為圖伯特宗教、政治與民族事業奉獻生命的英雄與烈士致以崇高敬意，也向至今仍在中國高壓統治之下堅守民族身份的境內同胞表達深切關懷與聲援。同時，我們也感謝世界各國政府、國際組織與所有長期支持圖伯特人民的人士。

二、達賴喇嘛尊者與「慈悲年」

去年，噶廈配合尊者九十華誕的殊勝因緣，發起並持續推動「慈悲年」慶祝活動，向全球弘揚尊者關於慈悲與人類共同責任的教誨。我們相信，唯有慈悲與智慧能夠為人類社會帶來真正的和平。正如佛教典籍所說，慈悲的力量在於永不放棄護持一切眾生。這份精神，也終將化解仇恨與對立，引導世界走向更和平的未來。

三、中共在圖伯特的六項破壞政策

當前，中國政府正強行構建「中華民族」，並以所謂「鑄牢中華民族共同體意識」為名，動用整個國家機器，在圖伯特推行大規模而系統性的政策，企圖從根本上摧毀圖伯特的自然環境與民族根基。具體包括：

（1）寄宿學校同化：

超過一百萬藏人兒童被送入寄宿制學校，圖伯特（西藏）語言與文化教育受到嚴格限制，同時在中國共產黨意識形態下接受密集的政治灌輸。此一政策屬於強制同化與系統性摧毀圖伯特文化與身份的行為。

（2）勞動轉移與人口遷移：

中國政府透過「職業培訓與勞動力轉移」等多項計劃，大規模強迫圖伯特農牧民搬遷與勞動轉移。聯合國專家指出，自 2000 年至 2025 年間，已有約 336 萬藏人受影響，幾乎占圖伯特總人口的一半。報告並指出，在部分地區，其強制程度之高，已可能構成「強迫遷移」或「奴役」等危害人類罪行。

（3）宗教壓制：

中國政府推行所謂「藏傳佛教中國化」政策的情況，美國國際宗教自由委員會在其去年發布的報告中指出：「這種制度化的壓制模式，完全符合文化滅絕的定義。」

（4）削弱民族自治：

目前，中國政府正透過對憲法的扭曲解釋、發布行政命令及全名實施各種低階法規等方式，逐步削弱甚至撤回中國憲法與《民族區域自治法》中原本承諾保障的民族權利。

（5）環境與資源掠奪：

中國政府在圖伯特高原推行大規模水電工程、礦產開採與基礎建設，破壞被稱為「亞洲水塔」的生態系統，威脅亞洲數十億人口的水資源安全。

（6）可能構成種族滅絕：

聯合國與國際社會普遍認為，中國政府在圖伯特（西藏）實施的上述政策與行為，符合 1951 年 1 月 12 日生效的《聯合國防止及懲治滅絕種族罪公約》第二條所界定的標準。

四、圖伯特的國際地位

圖伯特（西藏）自古以來就不是中國的一部分，而是一個被中國共產政權非法佔領的國家。圖伯特問題也並非中國的內政，而是一項尚未解決的國際爭端。去年美國政府通過並公布的《推動解決藏中爭端法》也明確指出這一事實。

五、達賴喇嘛轉世問題

關於達賴喇嘛尊者轉世問題，中國政府罔顧宗教傳統與政治倫理，公然提出所謂「三項條件」。對此，國際社會已透過法律、決議及聲明等形式，發布約 134 項相關文件，明確表達不予承認的立場。

六、祈願總結

最後，我們誠摯祈願：世間一切有情眾生之依怙、圖伯特人民至高無上的領袖、偉大的第十四世達賴喇嘛尊者聖壽無量、法體安康；並祈願尊者所肩負的四大崇高使命及一切宏願皆能任運圓滿。同時祈願尊者早日重返布達拉宮，屆時境內外全體圖伯特人民得以共享宗教興盛、經濟繁榮與安樂吉祥的幸福時代早日到來。

圖伯特(西藏)抗暴日67週年燭光晚會吳豪人發言稿（參考）

2023年，我二度拜訪達蘭沙拉的時候，印象最深，但是感想也最複雜的一件事情是這樣子的：無論是民主圖博憲法起草者、地位僅次於達賴喇嘛尊者的桑東仁波切，或者圖博中央政府司政、國會議長、以及許多NGO朋友，都認為「香港淪陷，是本世紀最大的悲劇」。但他們也同時都欣慰地表示「幸好還有台灣」。有多麼幸好呢？如同西藏幸好有印度，能如此寬容的接納流亡政府與人民，超過60年。我聽了其實很慚愧。因為我並不覺得台灣有多麼努力對抗中共的邪惡。

今年310圖伯特(西藏)抗暴日67週年燭光晚會的主軸，是「守護轉世自主、反對跨國鎮壓」。前一個主軸的問題是「太荒謬」──固然從清朝以來，甚至到了中華民國，確實都存在喇嘛轉世辦法之類的規定；但是藏傳佛教是清朝的國教，而四分五裂的中華民國純粹喊爽，兩者實際上都未曾實質介入。倒是打著共產唯物主義招牌的無神論共匪，居然硬要管人家怎麼投胎，實在已經滑稽到無恥的地步。至於後一個主軸，則是那些默認／允許中共跨國鎮壓的國家，應該覺得自己不要臉。尤其這些國家也不見得都是流氓政權，很多老牌民主國家，像是英國，也無恥的採取１９３９年以前討好納粹的綏靖主義。

現在全球都亂成一片，在黑暗中在摸索著新秩序。從俄烏戰爭開打、中國積極想吞併台灣，到如今的美以四處斬首獨裁者，目前應該是1948年世界人權宣言公布以來，人權價值最貶值、最受到嘲諷鄙視的時代。彷彿人類只能在川普、普丁與習近平三個爛貨當中挑一個。在這個不幸的大環境之下，圖博突然變得不是唯一受害者。所以我們今晚在此，無論是宣傳圖博民族主義、或者大談普世人權的重要性，想必都不會引起世人廣泛共鳴——看看現場聚集的人數就知道了。

所以我認為，現在也許應該強調圖博人對抗帝國主義的歷史經驗，已經成為人類文明的共同財產，具有強烈的先知性。應該要強調圖博人亡國之後的悲慘遭遇，證明了被凡是中共統治下的任何民族，幾乎難逃先亡國而後滅種的命運。

持續揭發加害者的惡行，是專家非常重要的責任。人類對那些他們無法處理的滔天巨惡，經常習慣性的以鴕鳥心態，假裝自己遇到「天災」。，所以許多人儘管仍然擁有正義感，卻只對新鮮出爐的罪行感到氣憤。對於那些長久發生不斷持續的罪行，卻把它當成一種無止盡的日常風景。

我建議圖博人，要以「全世界最了解中共帝國的民族」自居，提醒任何相信中共、試圖與中共結盟的國家與民族，１９５９年的圖博將會是他們的下場。要給予全世界一個強烈的印象：圖博人，才是全世界最了解中共本質，因而也是全世界首席的中共防治專家。在ＡＩ的推波助瀾之下，網軍、五毛與假新聞正在進行人類有史以來最大型的指鹿為馬、顛倒是非的無差別攻擊。

然而，正是如此的時代，「專家」越發重要。拿我們台灣的國會來做比喻的話，就是無論中共養了多少代理奴才，都抵不過一個撲馬。因為顛倒是非、協助中共迫人為奴的代理奴才，其本身的存在，就是對他自己、以及對人類尊嚴最大的侮辱，人數再多，也毫無價值可言。為什麼人多的卻害怕人少的，暴虐的卻害怕和平的呢？因為那些人少且和平的一方，往往才是真相與正義的守護者。而圖博人，正是罪犯最害怕的目擊者。我佛慈悲，圖博人歷經苦難艱辛，終於成為全世界無人能及的、最擅於向世人揭發中共罪行與暴行的首席專家。阿杜羅、哈米尼下場如此悲慘，就是誤信匪人，不相信圖博人和撲馬的警告。

中共有多麼邪惡？為什麼是人類與人性尊嚴的敵人？關於這一點，圖博人是先知先覺，我們台灣人是現知現覺。但很不幸的，世界上還有許多國家仍然不知不覺。至於中國人民，似乎已經無知無覺。如果台灣人從今晚開始，認真傾聽圖博人的警告，那麼台灣的存在，將真正值得我們的圖博友人感到「慶幸」。

王毅表示，中巴雙方第一時間就伊朗局勢表明立場，體現負責任態度和對《聯合國憲章》宗旨原則的遵循。（新華社資料圖片）外長王毅昨日與巴基斯坦副總理兼外長達爾通電話。

王毅表示，中巴雙方都第一時間就伊朗局勢表明堅定立場，體現了負責任態度和對《聯合國憲章》宗旨原則的遵循。這場戰爭的源起缺乏正當性與合法性，持續下去只會造成更多無謂傷亡。

達爾則介紹巴方對伊朗局勢的立場，他呼籲各方保持克制，通過和平談判解決危機，又說巴方讚賞中方為推動局勢降溫所作的努力，願意與中方加強協調，尋求實現和平的有效途徑。

雙方還就巴基斯坦及阿富汗邊境衝突交換意見。王毅表示，中國外交部阿富汗事務特使正在穿梭訪問，勸和促談，認為當務之急是避免戰事擴大，盡早回到談判桌。

王毅表示，美國和以色列未經安理會授權對伊朗動武，明顯違背《聯合國憲章》宗旨原則和國際關係基本準則。王毅說，中方不認同擴大打擊範圍，並譴責無差別攻擊平民和非軍事目標，強調海灣阿拉伯國家的主權、安全和領土完整應該得到尊重。

王毅提到，戰爭持續下去，百害而無一利，只會令到各方遭受更大損失。中方呼籲立即停火止戰，尋求政治解決，支持海灣國家把地區的前途命運掌握在自己手中。中方將繼續以自己的方式為緩和局勢、恢復和平發揮建設性作用。

穆罕默德就向中方通報地區局勢和卡方立場，強調卡方不得不進行必要自衛，同時加大外交努力，遏制危機蔓延升級。卡方讚賞中方秉持公正立場並開展斡旋，希望中方為停火止戰發揮更大作用。
