永豐銀升級「DA BOSS」中小企平台，董座力排獲利質疑，霸氣喊銀行不能只看錢！全新推出分級會員制，狂灑跨提轉免手續費優惠；更結盟逾30家跨界夥伴，一條龍包辦碳排盤查與營運資源，助攻全台頭家無痛迎戰數位與減碳雙轉型。（圖／記者師瑞德攝影）

面對高科技推動與經濟循環縮短的浪潮，國內金融機構對中小企業的布局，已從傳統的資金借貸，深化為數位生態圈與永續轉型的全方位支援。永豐銀行旗下的中小企業及新創平台「DA BOSS」自2024年上線後，透過整合金流、物流與資訊流，成功帶動去年企業籌備處新戶數年增17%，籌備處新轉公司戶市占率也成長14%。

看準企業對減碳與數位化的迫切需求，永豐銀今（21）日宣布全面升級該平台，除了跨界結盟碳權與溫室氣體盤查專家，更推出全新分級會員制，試圖以實質的營運優惠，牢牢鎖定新創與中小企業客群。

抵住內部獲利質疑 曹為實：銀行不只為了賺錢開門

這座專為中小企打造的平台，在成立之初並非一帆風順。永豐銀行董事長曹為實不諱言，畢竟是全新的嘗試，內部不免出現反對的聲音，甚至質疑「這個會賺錢嗎？」。

不過，曹為實力排眾議，他強調：「銀行不應該只是為了賺錢而開門做生意，更重要的人對這個國家，對這個社會，對這個經濟體要有實質的貢獻。」他指出，據統計資料顯示，台灣有171萬家的中小企業，高達80%的勞動人口服務於其中，這意味著中小企業就是台灣經濟的生命力，「沒有中小企業的存在，台灣的經濟成長就危在旦夕。」

解決痛點化解瓶頸 免申請會員制祭手續費誘因

在過去兩年實際落實的過程中，平台也面臨如何讓客戶習慣且更容易取得資源的瓶頸。為此，永豐銀推出全新的「DA BOSS企業會員制」，採取免申請即可直接依資產規模分級的策略，規劃出「大吉」、「大利」與「大富貴」三大權益。

只要企業客戶在永豐的每月平均往來資產達到50萬元門檻，即可享有新台幣跨行提款與轉帳每月最高20次免手續費，頂級的「大富貴」會員更可享高達30次的免手續費福利。此外，為了幫企業降低營運成本，平台也同步提供包括藍途記帳、永豐雲端印刷網的折價券，以及最高2,688點的小蜜豐點數升等禮。

迎戰明年財報揭露 結盟減碳專家擴大生態圈

除了微型企業關心的手續費與行政成本，全球供應鏈引發的減碳焦慮，也是中小企業當前最棘手的難題。曹為實指出，不管是碳排還是ESG，明年起都開始有所要求，等於今年的財報就必須揭露，這使得永續議題必須立刻納入平台服務中。

因應這股減碳趨勢，DA BOSS生態平台的合作廠商至今已擴增至32家。本次升級的亮點在於引進永續轉型夥伴，結盟亞福儲能、華翰物產實業、福碳、鼎新數智等碳權專家，以及亞瑞仕、立恩威等溫室氣體盤查業者，協助中小企業對接國際減碳標準。

同時，平台也補強了日常營運所需的周邊服務，新納入ACCUPASS（票務管理）、配客嘉（循環包裝）、康華網路（雲端發票管理）與嘖嘖（群眾募資），企圖在高度競爭的公司戶市場中，靠著一站式的生態圈服務拉開與同業的差距。

AI需求點火、原料成本齊漲，被動元件市場再度掀起新一波漲價潮。日本被動元件大廠Panasonic與台廠基美雙雙宣布，將調升部分電容產品價格，漲幅介於5~65%不等，加之昨（19）日日電貿法說會上釋出樂觀訊號；激勵今（20）日被動元件族群大爆發，凱美、九豪、立隆電、日電貿、蜜望實等多達近20檔齊攻漲停，更有多檔強勢創下歷史新高。

Panasonic與基美針對Polymer Tan-Cap、SP-Cap與Polymer Al-Cap等電容產品調漲售價，其中基美將自6月起調價，Panasonic則預計7月跟進。Panasonic指出，此次調價主要反映銀、銅等原材料成本上升，以及製造與資本設備支出增加，儘管持續透過內部改善與成本控管吸收壓力，但已達可承受上限，因此決定進行價格調整；同時也將同步強化供應穩定性、提升產品品質並優化產線效率。市場解讀，此舉反映AI伺服器與高階電源應用需求持續強勁，帶動高階電容供給偏緊，在原物料成本壓力與需求升溫雙重推動下，日本材料廠已逐步將成本壓力向下游轉嫁。

被動元件通路商日電貿在法說會中表示，受惠AI伺服器、資料中心需求強勁，AI被動元件產品全面短缺，部分規格供給缺口高達5~10倍，目前高階積層陶瓷電容（MLCC）交期已由過往1.5~2個月，拉長至3~4個月，部分產品甚至超過半年。隨著下半年輝達（NVDA）Vera Rubin平台導入新供電架構，將進一步推升單機櫃被動元件用量，預估2027年供需缺口恐比現在更加嚴峻。

日電貿總經理于耀國指出，目前AI相關需求並非短期庫存回補，而是AI基礎建設帶來的新需求循環。公司已與原廠及四大雲端服務供應商密切接觸，觀察AI資本支出仍未見縮手，因此對下半年營運維持正向看法。另一方面，在產品組合優化下，高階產品占比提升，也有助毛利率持續改善。日電貿透露，目前已將原廠漲幅逐步反映給客戶，並提前拉高AI及周邊共用料庫存水位，首季庫存年增達33%，備戰後續缺貨潮。

除AI需求推升外，地緣政治與供應鏈重組也成為台廠新機會。日電貿指出，目前高階被動元件市場仍由日、韓廠主導，但在去中化趨勢下，台系廠商逐步取得導入機會。公司也持續深化東南亞、印度等地布局，並拓展至美國與墨西哥市場，以降低關稅政策與地緣政治風險，提升全球供應鏈彈性與交付能力。

今凱美、立隆電、大毅、日電貿、禾伸堂、華容、九豪、蜜望實、金山電、臺慶科、光頡、鈞寶、華新科、立敦、聚鼎、今展科、鈺邦、天二科技盤中一度飆漲停，其中日電貿、立隆電、金山電、蜜望實、立敦、天二科技更同步刷新天價。

光頡開低後翻紅，亮燈重返百元大關，爆量5.5萬張，迄今長達連8漲、累計大漲近7成，但隨後漲勢大幅收斂；日電貿連2天亮燈，累計連8日漲幅達57%，爆量2.7萬張，還有1.5萬張排隊等買；蜜望實來到124.5元，成交量3.3萬張；立隆電也衝上新天價255元，成交量1.3萬張。國巨*一度衝近漲停，飆至545元，續創分割後新高，成交量7.4萬張，三大法人連3買，累計買超1萬5627張；鈺鎧也逼近亮燈，千如則勁揚逾6%。

太空公司SpaceX正式公開IPO招股書，將正式挑戰史上最大IPO。面板大廠群創扇出型面板級封裝（FOPLP）技術先前傳成功打入SpaceX低軌衛星供應鏈，加上有望與台積電、SK海力士合組面板級封裝鐵三角，帶動股價量價齊揚！今（21）日開盤約半小時便鎖上漲停40.6元，睽違15年再度站上40大關，成交量衝上台股第一；若以漲停價計算，本月至今漲幅達近7成。

綜合外媒報導，全球首富馬斯克旗下SpaceX宣布將在那斯達克掛牌上市，股票代號「SPCX-US」，初始估值上看1.5兆美元。SpaceX指出，目前已有約1萬顆衛星部署於低地球軌道，未來也將持續擴張高速網路市場；同時也將AI視為重要業務，SpaceX首季資本支出達101億美元，將投入約77億美元至AI相關建設，計畫最快在2028年部署軌道AI運算衛星與太空資料中心。

市場盛傳群創FOPLP技術打入SpaceX供應鏈，公司並於去年年底表示「客戶很滿意」，且產能滿載、訂單能見度延續至明年上半年；日前也有消息指出其FOPLP將與台積電結盟，且近日南韓記憶體大廠SK海力士母公司SK集團表示，看好面板級封裝將成為新主流，砸下約新台幣250億元投入面板級封裝用的玻璃基板，業界看好未來台積電、群創、SK海力士三大廠，可望合力打造面板級封裝鐵三角。

受惠於SpaceX IPO題材帶動，以及FOPLP業務展望樂觀，群創今日股價強勢，為2011年2月以來重返40大關，本月至今漲幅達69.5%；盤中成交量達近50萬張，有逾10萬張排隊買單高掛。其餘低軌衛星族群也有表現，台揚、事欣科、台燿、同欣電同鎖漲停，華通、兆赫、燿華也有不俗漲勢。面板股也掀比價效應，友達同步量價齊揚，漲逾7%，再度挑戰站穩20大關，成交量衝台股第二，彩晶亮燈漲停。

摩根士丹利最新報告預期，ABF載板市場可能步入長期供給吃緊階段，預估今年價格將上漲15~20%，明年有望再漲逾2成，因此上調欣興、南電、臻鼎-KY等目標價，其中臻鼎-KY喊到570元，激勵今（21）日盤中勁揚逾7%，再創新天價473元，而未被大摩點名的景碩也表現強勁，漲停來到554元，逼近歷史高點556元。

大摩指出，即使產業持續擴產，高階ABF產能增速仍難追上AI GPU、AI ASIC、網通、光通訊與AI伺服器需求成長，預估2030年供需缺口將由原先推估的15%上修至22%。大摩並表示，由於新產能至少需2年後才能陸續開出，短期供應緊張難解，預估ABF價格今年將上漲15%至20%，明年漲幅可能再超過20%，帶動供應商毛利率與獲利表現提升。

大摩因此全面調升欣興、南電、臻鼎-KY等目標價。其中，欣興因在高階ABF、AI GPU與伺服器載板布局最完整，上修今起3年EPS預估至11.6元、24元與49元，維持「買進」評等，目標價調升至1225元。南電則受惠高層數ABF與高單價產品比重提升，帶動獲利爆發力增強，預估今起3年EPS上看11.5元、23.8元與51元，目標價同步提高至1275元，並同樣維持「買進」評級。

至於臻鼎-KY，大摩看好其IC載板業務成長動能，預估2028年相關營收有望較目前擴大3倍，同時公司積極爭取Google TPU載板認證，也代表AI ASIC供應鏈正逐步擴大合作夥伴。此外，受惠光模組mSAP技術與BT載板市占率提升，今起3年EPS預估分別為13.8元、21.1元與28.5元，投資評等調升至「買進」，目標價上看570元。

受相關利多激勵，欣興盤中大漲逾9%逼近漲停板，最高觸及904元，一舉收復5日線、月線；南電大漲逾8%，最高觸及903元，站上5日線、10日線，挑戰月線；臻鼎-KY也漲逾7%，寫下新高473元，距離目標價570元，還有約2成的潛在漲幅；景碩雖未被點名，但股價仍率先攻上漲停554元，截至11:50前還有近4千張排隊委買。

此外，隨著Google宣布將推出首款AI智慧眼鏡「Intelligent Eyewear」，帶動高密度互連板（HDI）、軟板以及高階材料需求增溫，市場預期台廠PCB與材料供應鏈可望受惠。PCB族群今日同步走揚，台虹亮燈漲停，收復5日線、月線；台燿開盤即一字鎖漲停1325元，站上5日線；台光電大漲逾7%；金居、聯茂、德宏漲4~6%；富喬、華通則上漲2~3%。

「腦動力耳機」透過無形的「科技頻率按摩」，幫助緊繃的思緒重新找回秩序與平衡。 圖：腦視明科技有限公司/提供

台灣失眠問題極為普遍，據調查高達近40%至50%的民眾曾有睡眠問題，慢性失眠盛行率約為19.3%，平均每5位台灣人就有1人受慢性失眠所苦，女性罹患比例則高於男性。國人每年消耗超過10億顆安眠藥，位居亞洲之冠，常見成因包含工作與生活壓力、睡前使用3C產品、咖啡因攝取過量以及焦慮情緒。許多人明明躺在床上8小時，醒來腦袋卻依舊昏昏沉沉，睡眠品質不良的「亞健康」族群比比皆是。

面對緊繃的生活，只能無止盡地依賴化學物質？高雄師範大學前理學院院長、物理系教授何明宗，正用全新的物理學視角解讀大腦放鬆。何明宗發現，現代人緊繃的身心需要被精準引導，因此研發「NeurVi 腦動力耳機」，透過無形的「科技頻率按摩」，幫助緊繃的思緒重新找回秩序與平衡。

全站首選：川普稱將打電話給賴清德溝通! 中國氣極敗壞回應了……

何明宗用簡單的物理學解釋身心科學。他指出，休息不只是閉上眼睛，更是大腦的「黃金充電時間」，而睡眠不只是休息，更是大腦的「大掃除時間」，人體在進入深度放鬆時，身體的自我調節機制才會啟動。然而，許多人習慣依賴安眠藥，其作用往往是讓大腦「強制斷電」。雖然失去了意識，卻可能跳過最重要的自然放鬆與清理時段。這就像是把燈關了，但清潔工根本沒進場，長期下來人自然會變得健忘、焦慮。

何明宗笑稱自己是「科學界的神農氏」，因為這套研究的起點是為了救他自己。多年前，他深受長期的頭痛與腸胃不適所苦，看遍專家都難以根除。身為物理學家，他突發奇想「既然大腦是靠電波溝通的，能不能用『物理頻率』去影響它，從根本調整生活節律？」

為了解開大腦的頻率密碼，何明宗將複雜系統與非線性動力學的科學理論，轉化為實體應用的「腦動力耳機」。這項技術的核心價值，在於成功融合了「非線性腦波分析」與「專屬音頻模組設計」，並一舉榮獲了台灣、日本、中國與美國等多國專利認證，並在國軍高雄總醫院與奇美醫院進行觀察研究，發現許多受測者戴上NeurVi腦動力耳機不到15分鐘，腦波便開始呈現平穩、放鬆的波型。這對於長期處於高壓緊繃、作息失調的亞健康族群來說，提供了一種溫和的生活輔助工具。

當前熱搜：見不到一周 習就跟川普翻臉! 中俄聯合聲明全文曝 重批美「這3項」 還提台灣…..

在何明宗的研究過程中，曾有一位背負高壓任務的飛行員，過去必須仰賴外在方式強迫自己休息，但還是會讓他白天反應遲鈍，這對飛行安全是大忌。在嘗試了音頻導引後，他驚訝地發現，自己竟然能自然感受久違的「平靜感」。還有許多老人家，常常半夜醒來後就難以再平靜下來。透過這套技術的輔助，他們重新學會了如何讓大腦放鬆，找回了平穩的生活節律。

何明宗強調，腦動力耳機不只是為了睡覺，更是為了讓大腦恢復原本就有的「自我調節力」。從高深的物理學走入日常穿戴科技，這場由聲音引領的放鬆革命，正為飽受高壓之苦的現代人，開創一條重返身心平衡的嶄新道路。

怒控調查蕭旭岑被拖延！馬英九：這關乎到我一生最重視的清廉操守

title: 新聞分類總覽 - 2026-05-22 | Newtalk新聞

前總統馬英九和前幕僚蕭旭岑、王光慈決裂，馬英九基金會日前成立調查小組，調查蕭旭岑、王光慈違反財政紀律，馬英九控訴，調查小組發言人李德維推翻對他的承諾，他將委託基金會執行長戴遐齡、前國安會秘書長金溥聰等人盡快召開記者會，詳細說明事件始末及事實。調查小組則反批，基金會以馬英九之名一再發表聲明並干擾調查進度，極為不妥。

馬英九基金會發出新聞稿提到，今（21）天召開董事會，在場出席的董事有董事長馬英九及董事高華柱2位，調查小組成員並未出席，出席董事因未達法定人數而流會。出席的會計師再次強調，針對基金會內部調查事證中，出現來源不明的所謂「台商捐款」，確無入帳紀錄，調查小組應該約詢他，以釐清事實真相。

全站首選：川普稱將打電話給賴清德溝通! 中國氣極敗壞回應了……

馬英九則是在會中表示，調查小組自3月27日成立至今已近2個月，他曾多次透過戴遐齡催促調查小組對人證和涉嫌的物證資料進行深入調查。因為這關乎到他個人一生最重視的清廉操守，基金會成立是為了公益，不是他個人的基金會，董事長和所有員工都不能做出違反基金會成立目的的事，因為「清廉」是做人做事最基本的原則。

馬英九更直言，調查工作不應該以各種理由與藉口刻意拖延，應該盡速完成。但是李德維5月20日在媒體上以不符事實的藉口，推翻了對他的承諾，拒絕5月21日出席董事會。同時也拒絕他提出寬延至5月27日提出調查報告的要求，他對此感到非常遺憾。

對此，調查小組聲明駁斥，3月27日董事會已決議要求在調查有結果之前，基金會任何人不得對外洩露相關事件資訊，基金會却以馬英九之名，一而再再而三發表聲明，並干擾調查進度，極為不妥。調查進度已近尾聲，很遺憾的是事件發動者之一高華柱迄今拒絕三人小組約談。

當前熱搜：見不到一周 習就跟川普翻臉! 中俄聯合聲明全文曝 重批美「這3項」 還提台灣…..

調查小組宣稱，4月8日基金會私下委託律師對員工進行訪談的錄音紀錄亦拒絕提供；同時，三人小組一再要求與基金會無關之人金溥聰出示馬英九的委託書，到現在也沒看到。更遺憾的是，基金會再三強調的「財政紀律事件」，竟然完全沒有詢問當事人的說法，只是片面指控，何來「真相大白」？

李德維今天接受廣播節目訪問時聲稱調查小組「不站任何一方」、「對自己負責」，但也指稱「違反財政紀律跟違法在我看來是兩件事情」、蕭旭岑「他是公務，比較沒有管這些東西，的確被牽連了啦！」似有定見，而李德維遭爆去年出席中共九三閱兵，今年四月也隨國民黨主席鄭麗文和已是國民黨副主席的蕭旭岑去見中共總書記習近平，立場遭到質疑。

總統府晚間發布新聞稿指出，副總統蕭美琴上午接見2026美國智庫新美國安全中心（CNAS）「下一世代國安領袖計畫」（NextGen）訪問團致詞時表示，首先歡迎前美國國防部印太安全事務助理部長瑞特納（Ely Ratner）率團來訪，也感謝CNAS多年來持續促進年輕世代、下世代領袖間的交流，更深入理解台灣以及共同所面臨的挑戰與機會，並持續以各種方式深化台美夥伴關係。

談及台美目前合作的重點領域，蕭副總統指出，儘管當前面臨劇烈的地緣政治挑戰，台美夥伴關係依然穩固，其基礎建立於「台灣關係法」之上。其中，雙方的安全夥伴關係數十年來為區域的和平穩定做出貢獻；同時涵蓋強健的經濟關係及其他領域合作，包括支持台灣有意義地參與並貢獻全球衛生等國際倡議。

副總統也感謝美國長期支持台灣與第三國建立夥伴關係，例如透過「全球合作暨訓練架構」（GCTF）平台，在世界各地舉辦各種議題的工作坊與活動，涵蓋打擊假訊息、反制外國影響力、賦權女性參與小型及微型企業，以及提升全社會韌性等。

針對安全議題，蕭副總統提到，台灣與美國政府共同堅信，和平是透過實力來維持與建立，總統賴清德承諾致力強化台灣的自我防衛能力，而強化國防能力的最終目標是嚇阻並防止衝突發生。

她並說，近年台灣推動多項轉型，包括軍隊現代化、延長義務役期，以及加強後備戰力訓練，並推動指管（C2）分散化、賦予基層部隊更大的自主權等；在武器採購方面，則聚焦於防禦性與不對稱作戰系統，並高度重視不對稱戰力建構。

副總統進一步指出，這些努力一方面透過與美國的「對外軍售」（FMS）採購來推動，另一方面也必須透過建構本土國防產業以及運用民間部門的創新與能力優勢來實現。尤其台灣的無人機產業在過去2年成長顯著，2年前政府剛上任時相關產業幾乎不存在；但至今已大幅成長，今年第1季出口總額已超過去年全年金額。

她說，台灣的出口項目不僅包括整合系統，也包括支援全球可信賴供應鏈的零組件。政府仍將持續努力推動相關工作，盼透過加強公共溝通與國際支持，分階段爭取預算通過與支持。（編輯：潘羿菁）1150521

（中央社記者葉素萍台北21日電）前總統蔡英文今天受邀前往台北醫學大學演講，她提到，世界變化很快，科技發展也很快，社會意見因此更多元但是變化也很快，很多事情不是一個人、一個世代，甚至不是一個政府任期內就可以完全改變，改變從來不會在瞬間完成，改變往往是從一群人願意聽見彼此開始。

（中央社記者葉素萍台北21日電）前總統蔡英文今天受邀前往台北醫學大學演講，她提到，世界變化很快，科技發展也很快，社會意見因此更多元但是變化也很快，很多事情不是一個人、一個世代，甚至不是一個政府任期內就可以完全改變，改變從來不會在瞬間完成，改變往往是從一群人願意聽見彼此開始。

蔡英文演講提到，她對於北醫專業與付出的經驗其中之一，就是北醫長期派駐醫療團隊到邦交國史瓦帝尼；幾年前她以總統的身分到史瓦帝尼，也親自到史瓦帝尼的首都醫院去參觀，看到北醫醫療團隊長期在那裡的成果。

蔡英文說，北醫的醫療除了治療疾病，也幫助一個國家建立更有韌性的醫療系統，這件事情讓她非常感動；因為這說明了台灣的力量不只是科技力量、經濟力量，還有照顧人的力量。台灣雖然不大，但是願意用專業、善意來協助全世界的力量。

她說，北醫的學生會，為了這場演講寫了一句話，「我們無法立刻改變世界，但至少可以從願意對話開始。」

蔡英文說，她覺得這句話非常好，也非常適合今天的場合。因為在一個變動的時代，大家常常會感覺到一種無力感。世界變化很快，科技發展也很快，社會意見也因此會更多元，變化也很快。

她表示，很多的事情不是一個人、一個世代，甚至不是一個政府任期內就可以完全改變。所以改變從來不會在瞬間完成，改變往往是從一群人願意聽見彼此開始；願不願意面對問題，而不是逃避問題，這也是個開始。從願意用理性來討論分析，而不是用標籤來否定。

蔡英文說，在一個變動時代裡面，理性與對話很重要。這幾年，大家都可以感覺到世界變得越來越不穩定。地緣政治的緊張，讓台灣更清楚地知道，和平從來都不是一件理所當然的事情；這樣的時代，一個國家最重要的能力就是「韌性」。

蔡英文說，韌性不是不會受傷，韌性是受到衝擊之後還有能力站起來；韌性是遇到困難的時候，不會輕易地被擊倒；韌性是即使外在環境不斷地變化，仍然能夠穩定地往前走。（編輯：潘羿菁）1150521

（中央社記者林尚縈柏林21日專電）德國聯邦外貿與投資署今天發布2025年外國直接投資報告，去年外商投資案減少9.3%，但降幅低於歐盟平均。官方表示，在全球供應鏈重組與地緣政治不確定性下，德國仍具投資吸引力，其中台灣更被視為德國半導體供應鏈成功布局關鍵夥伴。

（中央社記者林尚縈柏林21日專電）德國聯邦外貿與投資署今天發布2025年外國直接投資報告，去年外商投資案減少9.3%，但降幅低於歐盟平均。官方表示，在全球供應鏈重組與地緣政治不確定性下，德國仍具投資吸引力，其中台灣更被視為德國半導體供應鏈成功布局關鍵夥伴。

德國經濟部轄下聯邦外貿與投資署（GTAI）今天在柏林舉行「2025年外國企業在德國投資報告」發布會。報告指出，2025年德國共有1564個外國直接投資（FDI）與擴建投資落地，雖與往年相比減少9.3%，但遠優於歐盟平均18.1%降幅。

該署投資促進部部長哈蒂格（Achim Hartig）在發布會表示，目前全球投資人面臨美國貿易政策調整、美中競爭與地緣政治不確定性，正重新思考全球布局，德國政治與法律環境穩定，且具市場規模及創新能力，仍受國際投資人重視。

哈蒂格說明，德國招商重點包括半導體、再生能源、電動車、數位化、未來科技與醫療健康產業，而當前近20%的外商對德投資在製造與研發領域，顯示德國仍被視為具技術與工業基礎的國家。

根據報告，去年中國以228項投資案超越美國的206件，成為德國最大外資來源國；值得注意的是，印度首次進入德國前十大外資來源國，共有43項投資案。德國聯邦外貿與投資署認為，這顯示全球供應鏈與投資方向正在重新調整，德國也希望在重整中降低對單一市場的依賴。

台灣投資部分，哈蒂格回覆中央社詢問表示，台灣是德國半導體產業舉足輕重的合作夥伴，台灣的參與是德國是否能成功建立本土半導體價值鏈的關鍵。2025年台積電在慕尼黑成立晶片設計中心，即是外資在德半導體投資的指標性項目。

除了台積電慕尼黑晶片設計中心，根據報告，去年共有8項來自台灣的投資案，多集中在電子與自動化領域。

談及外商在德投資挑戰，哈蒂格坦言，目前投資人最常抱怨的問題仍是「速度」。他表示，德國需要改善行政程序與審批效率，目前聯邦與各邦政府正積極推動行政數位化，希望能降低外商投資障礙。

哈蒂格強調，若有強烈且明確政治意志，德國仍有能力快速完成大型投資案審批，台積電德勒斯登廠與特斯拉布蘭登堡設廠案，皆屬此例。

此外，哈蒂格也指出，國防與軍民兩用產業正成為德國新興投資領域。歐盟與德國目前均提供基金支持安全與國防產業，包括無人機、自動化與智慧物流等技術，都開始納入投資統計範圍，未來也將成為德國官方重點招商範疇。（編輯：唐聲揚）1150521

DRONE CENTRAL:  Taiwan aims to become Asia’s democratic hub for drones, with most exports focused on high-quality military-grade models, an official said

Taiwan’s drone industry is expected to expand significantly by 2030, producing 100,000 units per month and exporting half of them, the Ministry of Economic Affairs said yesterday.

Current drone production capacity is about 15,000 units per month, but the industry can quickly scale up as demand increases, Industrial Development Administration Director-General Chiou Chyou-huey (邱求慧) told a news conference in Taipei.

Taiwan’s drone output grew 2.5-fold last year to NT$12.9 billion (US$408.3 million) under a government program to develop the uncrewed vehicle sector, he said.

The Executive Yuan in October last year approved plans to invest NT$44.2 billion into domestic production of uncrewed aerial vehicles over the next six years, aiming to bring Taiwan’s output value to more than NT$40 billion by 2030 and to make the nation Asia’s democratic hub for the drone supply chain.

If output value doubles to NT$26 billion this year, the 2030 target could be adjusted upward, Chiou said.

The local drone industry is still mainly driven by domestic demand, with commercially produced military-grade products accounting for the bulk of output, he said.

Exports account for slightly more than 20 percent, led by the Czech Republic, Poland and the US, he added.

In the first four months of this year, drone exports reached US$147 million, he said.

At a Cabinet news conference on April 30, Chiou said that Taiwan’s drone exports totaled US$93 million last year.

By 2030, production capacity is projected to exceed 100,000 units per month, while exports are projected to exceed 50 percent of total output, he said yesterday.

Compared with China, Chinese consumer-grade drones have a significant price advantage due to large-scale production, Chiou said.

However, for military-grade commercial drones, for which anti-jamming and autonomous flight capabilities, as well as reliability, are more important, the price gap is narrower, and Taiwan remains competitive, he said.

Speaking about the XPONENTIAL 2026 uncrewed systems exhibition that ended last week in Detroit, Chiou said it featured finished products and key components from Taiwanese drone companies and drew attention from firms in the US, Japan, South Korea and Turkey for potential cooperation.

Preliminary business opportunities generated by the exhibition, which is the premier event for the drone industry, are estimated at about NT$1.3 billion across optical modules, systems and thermal imaging, he said.

During the exhibition, Taiwan signed memorandums of understanding with the Michigan Drone Association and the North Dakota Trade Office that focus on autonomous flight, urban air mobility and shared test facilities, with the aim of helping Taiwanese firms access more complete testing and certification resources, he added.

POWERHOUSE:  The investment is to be made ‘across the Taiwan ecosystem to expand strategic partnerships and scale advanced packaging capabilities for AI infrastructure’

Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD), a US maker of artificial intelligence (AI) processors and a rival to the world’s most valuable company, Nvidia Corp, yesterday announced an investment of more than US$10 billion into Taiwan’s chip industry.

The company said investments would be made “across the Taiwan ecosystem to expand strategic partnerships and scale advanced packaging capabilities for AI infrastructure.”

As the home of chip production giants Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) and Hon Hai Precision Industry Co (鴻海精密), also known as Foxconn Technology Group (富士康), Taiwan is a powerhouse in the manufacturing of semiconductors used to train and power AI systems.

Advanced Micro Devices Inc CEO Lisa Su speaks to the media at the entrance of a hotel in Taipei yesterday.  Photo: CNA

AMD — whose chief executive officer, Lisa Su (蘇姿丰), is due to speak today in Taipei — said in a statement that it was working with firms in Taiwan and elsewhere on advanced computing components that are essential in AI data centers.

The company “is advancing leading-edge silicon, packaging and manufacturing technologies that enable higher performance, greater efficiency and faster deployment of AI systems,” it said.

Among the deals announced yesterday was a hardware development partnership with Taiwanese chip packaging and testing provider ASE Technology Holding Co (日月光投控) and its subsidiary Siliconware Precision Industries Co (矽品精密).

AMD is also working with other partners including Powertech Technology Inc (力成科技), Sanmina Corp and Inventec Corp (英業達) to bolster its capabilities in the region, it said.

AMD is among other chipmakers increasing their presence in Taiwan and seeking to boost capacity as AI demand rises. Although Nvidia remains the dominant provider of AI processors, data center customers are increasingly seeking alternatives — a trend that has helped AMD.

“As AI adoption accelerates, our global customers are rapidly scaling AI infrastructure to meet growing compute demand,” Su said in a statement.

Su is visiting Taiwan and is set to join a fireside chat hosted by a local media firm today.

AMD yesterday also announced that its next-generation EPYC processor, called “Venice,” is ramping up production in Taiwan using TSMC’s advanced 2-nanometer process technology, with plans to do the same at TSMC’s Arizona fabrication facility.

Venice is the first high-performance computing (HPC) product in the industry to enter production using TSMC’s 2-nanometer process technology, AMD said in a separate statement.

The production of Venice comes as AMD continues to build momentum in the server market, reflecting growing customer demand for EPYC processors to power modern cloud, enterprise, HPC and AI deployments, it said.

“As AI and agentic workloads scale rapidly, customers need platforms that can move from innovation to production faster. Our deep partnership with TSMC is helping AMD bring leadership compute technologies to market with the speed and scale required to meet this moment,” Su said.

title: Ministry outlines plans for national science academy

content_text:
The Ministry of Education is considering establishing the Taiwan Advanced Academy of Science, with recruitment to be managed jointly by Academia Sinica and the nation’s top four universities.

The policy echoes President William Lai’s (賴清德) comments at the National Chair Professorship Award Ceremony in March that the government would institute policies to provide more science opportunities and resources, creating a better research environment that would hopefully produce Nobel Prize winners in physics, chemistry and medicine in the next 30 years.

The academy would not have a physical site and would be jointly managed by National Taiwan University, National Tsing Hua University, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, National Cheng Kung University and Academia Sinica, the ministry said.

The move would concentrate resources under a joint platform, it said.

The academy would recruit students based on subject field — such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and Earth sciences — with a written test in the first stage and a combined second stage involving a review of applicants’ materials, a practical test and an interview, it said.

The second stage would be handled by a cross-university interview committee, and successful applicants would choose their preferred university and department, it said.

The ministry is also considering establishing national science experimental high schools to foster tech and academic talent.

Students who complete their education at such schools would not have to take the written test for the academy if they meet the criteria, and could proceed directly to the second stage, it said.

High-school students who attend Olympiads or international science fairs would also have their first-stage written exam waived, the ministry said.

Plans for the academy are preliminary and not set in stone, Ministry of Education Secretary-General Lin Po-chiao (林伯樵) said.

The program is not meant to replicate the Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies offered by universities, but rather to help students with a clearly defined interests gain greater autonomy in self-directed research through flexible learning schedules, the ministry said.

The academy would have limited openings and would not affect other channels for students seeking further education, Lin said.


title: US raises pressure with Castro indictment

content_text:
US prosecutors on Wednesday announced criminal charges against former Cuban president Raul Castro over the 1996 downing of civilian planes flown by Miami-based exiles as the White House escalated pressure on the nation’s socialist government.

The indictment accuses Castro of ordering the military to shoot down two small planes operated by the exile group Brothers to the Rescue. Castro, who turns 95 next month, was Cuba’s defense minister at the time.

The charges, which were secretly filed by a grand jury last month, included murder and destruction of an airplane. Five Cuban military pilots were also charged.

“For nearly 30 years, the families of four murdered Americans have waited for justice,” US Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said in Miami at a ceremony coinciding with Cuban Independence Day to honor those killed. “They were unarmed civilians and were flying humanitarian missions for the rescue and protection of people fleeing oppression across the Florida straits.”

Asked to what lengths US authorities would go to bring Castro to face charges in the US, Blanche said: “There was a warrant issued for his arrest. So we expect that he will show up here, by his own will or by another way.”

Asked what could happen next for Cuba, US President Donald Trump said: “We’re going to see.”

He added that the US is ready to provide humanitarian assistance to a “failing nation.”

The Cuban government said in a statement that the 1996 shootdown was “legitimate self-defense” against an airspace violation.

Cuban authorities called on citizens to protest the “despicable” indictment, with the official newspaper Granma urging Cubans to gather outside the US embassy in Havana today.

Pedro Leal, a 65-year-old retiree, said Washington was hurting ordinary Cubans.

“What the US government is doing here now, aside from the energy blockade preventing us from bringing in fuel, honestly, it’s criminal,” he said.

A four-month US oil blockade, part of a campaign to undermine Cuba’s communist leadership, has brought the nation’s already battered economy to the brink of collapse.

Cubans have been experiencing power outages of up to 20 hours a day and taps running dry.

Runaway inflation has caused the price of basic goods to soar and mountains of trash have piled up on the streets of Havana.

Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel condemned the indictment as a political stunt that sought only to “justify the folly of a military aggression against Cuba.”

Among those attending Wednesday’s ceremony in downtown Miami was Marlene Alejandre-Triana, whose father, Armando Alejandre Jr, was killed while she was away for her first year of college.

Over the years, she spoke to multiple federal investigators about charging Castro, referring to him as “one of the main architects of the crime,” but none until now had the courage to seek justice for her family and the other victims.

“It has been long overdue,” she said standing before a giant photograph of her father.

Analysts were quick to draw comparisons with Venezuela, where the US government seized on a domestic indictment to justify military action in January that toppled and seized former Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro, a staunch ally of Cuba.

“The idea is to say, we can do to you what we did to Nicolas Maduro,” Chatham House senior fellow for Latin America Christopher Sabatini said.

“The military would certainly defend Cuba” in the event of US military intervention, Sabatini said.

“Whether the people would or not, it’s difficult to say,” he added.

POLITICAL INTERFERENCE:  Taiwan’s isolation from the WHA in Switzerland is ‘entirely unjustified,’ a joint statement by nine foreign representative offices said

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs yesterday expressed gratitude to nine foreign representative offices in Taipei after they issued a joint statement backing Taiwan’s meaningful participation in the WHO and its inclusion as an observer in the World Health Assembly (WHA).

With the 79th WHA currently being held in Geneva, Switzerland, Taiwan has not been invited to participate for a 10th consecutive year.

In response to Taiwan’s continued exclusion, the Australian Office Taipei, British Office Taipei, Canadian Trade Office in Taipei, French Office in Taipei, German Institute Taipei, Japan-Taiwan Exchange Association, Lithuanian Trade Representative Office, New Zealand Commerce and Industry Office, and the Polish Office in Taipei issued a joint statement of support yesterday.

The ministry thanked the like-minded nations for taking concrete action to firmly support Taiwan’s bid, saying the nation’s participation would benefit global health and urging the WHO to reject political interference.

Noting that Taiwan remains largely excluded from the international health system, the offices said in their statement that “infectious diseases and health hazards do not respect borders,” and “global cooperation is required to keep the whole world safe.”

“Taiwan is a highly capable, engaged and responsible member of the global health community and was invited to participate as an observer in WHA meetings from 2009 to 2016,” the statement said.

Taiwan’s “distinct capabilities and methods — including its significant public health expertise, democratic governance and advanced technology — bring considerable value that would inform the WHA’s deliberations,” it said.

Taiwan’s isolation from the WHA, the pre-eminent global health forum, is “entirely unjustified,” the offices said.

Such an exclusion “undermines inclusive global public health cooperation and security, which the world demands, and which is enshrined in the founding documents of the WHO,” they said.

“Taiwan’s meaningful participation in the fora and technical committees of the World Health Organization would bring benefits not just to people in Taiwan, but also around the world,” the statement said. “Only by including Taiwan as an observer would the WHO be able to fully exemplify the Health Assembly’s commitment to ‘Reshaping Global Health: A Shared Responsibility.’”

The ministry in a separate statement issued yesterday also welcomed a resolution passed by the European Parliament on Wednesday regarding the UN General Assembly to be held in New York in September.

The resolution, titled “Recommendation on the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly,” states that UN Resolution 2758 does not determine Taiwan’s sovereignty, nor does it even mention Taiwan, meaning it cannot be used as a pretext to exclude the nation from participating in international organizations.

Furthermore, the European Parliament called for enhanced EU support for Taiwan’s meaningful international participation and strongly opposed any unilateral changes to the “status quo” in the Taiwan Strait or the South China Sea through force or coercion.

STICKING POINT:  Beijing is holding up a proposed visit by US Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Elbridge Colby, as it pressures Trump over the weapons package   By Chen Cheng-yuand Hollie Younger / Staff reporter,with staff writer and CNA

Presidential Office Secretary-General Pan Men-an (潘孟安) yesterday said he is “optimistic” about Washington’s US$14 billion weapons package for Taiwan, and that the government has not yet received any notification of a potential telephone call between President William Lai (賴清德) and US President Donald Trump.

En route to Washington on Friday last week after a state visit to China, Trump said he had not yet decided whether to move forward with the arms package.

He said he and Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平) had “talked a lot about Taiwan” and confirmed that Xi had brought up the weapons sale.

The government remains optimistic about the arms sale, as defending the First Island Chain and strengthening regional self-defense capabilities and deterrence are in the best interests of the US, Pan said.

Trump on Wednesday told reporters that he planned to speak with Lai, which would mark the first time that a US president has talked to a Taiwanese president since Washington switched diplomatic recognition from Taipei to Beijing in 1979.

The government has not received notification of an upcoming conversation, Pan said, adding that Taiwan-US communications remain smooth and unobstructed.

He quoted the US as saying its policy stance on Taiwan has not changed, the “status quo” in the Taiwan Strait remains unchanged and it would continue to discuss arms sales issues with Taipei, not Beijing.

CLOSE COMMUNICATION

Taiwan and the US are maintaining close communication and any updates would be announced by Washington, the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the US said on Wednesday.

Trump is expected to make a decision on the arms deal soon, a White House official said.

Trump approved a US$11.1 billion arms package to Taiwan in December last year, consistent with US policy since the 1950s, the official said.

In his first term, Trump approved more arms sales to Taiwan than any other US president, they said, adding that in the first year of his second term, Trump approved arms packages of a total value surpassing that authorized by former US president Joe Biden over a four-year term.

A US Department of State spokesperson said that the US’ policy toward Taiwan would remain consistent with its long-standing position over the past 40 years, guided by the Taiwan Relations Act, the Three Joint Communiques and the “six assurances.”

VISIT IN DOUBT

Meanwhile, the Financial Times yesterday reported that Beijing is holding up a proposed visit by US Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Elbridge Colby, as China pressures Trump over the US$14 billion weapons package.

Colby discussed a summer visit to Beijing with Chinese officials, but China has signaled that it cannot approve a visit until Trump decides how to proceed with the arms package, the report said, citing people familiar with the talks.

The Cabinet yesterday said that the nation’s semiconductor industry is “the result of long and painstaking independent development by local companies,” rejecting claims of theft by US President Donald Trump.

“They stole our chip industry... We lost our chip industry,” Trump said again in an interview with Fox News after his visit to Beijing last week.

He also blamed the decline of the US semiconductor industry on his predecessors’ failure to impose tariffs of as much as 200 percent on semiconductors manufactured in Taiwan.

Executive Yuan spokeswoman Michelle Lee (李慧芝) rejected Trump’s comments at a weekly news conference, saying: “Taiwan supplies semiconductors to countries around the world.”

“It would not have achieved this level of competitiveness if it had relied on illegitimate means,” she said.

Lee added that Vice Premier Cheng Li-chiun (鄭麗君) explained to US negotiators during tariff talks that Taiwan’s semiconductor industry was the product of decades of development.

Separately yesterday, Executive Yuan Secretary-General Xavier Chang (張惇涵) said that Taiwan “did not steal chips from the world. It supplies them to the world,” when questioned by Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Legislator Hung Mong-kai (洪孟楷) at the legislature in Taipei.

Chang said the technologies developed by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) were the result of three decades of refinement following a technology transfer agreement between Taiwan and Radio Corp of America (RCA).

The remarks by the Cabinet officials came a day after Taiwanese tech mogul Robert Tsao (曹興誠), founder of United Microelectronics Corp, urged the government to respond to Trump’s claims.

Tsao said Trump’s accusations could have serious implications, as they constituted a diplomatically hostile gesture and were being used to justify efforts to pressure Taiwanese chipmakers to establish production facilities in the US.

He urged the Executive Yuan, the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) and TSMC to hold a news conference detailing the origins of Taiwan’s semiconductor technology, and the decades of investment and research and development that had gone into building the industry to “set the record straight.”

Tsao on social media said that Taiwan’s chipmaking expertise originated from a US$3.5 million technology transfer deal with RCA in 1976, under which ITRI acquired 7-micrometer complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor manufacturing technology.

Top U.S. envoy affirms Taiwan commitments despite Trump’s remarks

The United States’ top envoy to Taiwan has reaffirmed that Washington’s long-standing commitments to Taiwan have not changed after U.S. President Donald Trump called arms sales to Taiwan a “good bargaining chip” in dealings with China.

In a Fox News interview that aired shortly after Trump concluded a trip to China and meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平) from May 13-15, Trump said he was weighing whether to approve a US$14 billion arms package for Taiwan.

Later, when asked again about the issue, Trump said the decision depended on China.

“I’m holding that in abeyance, and it depends on China,” he said. “It’s a very good negotiating chip for us, frankly. It’s a lot of weapons.”

Trump’s comments seemed to violate the U.S. Six Assurances to Taiwan -- issued by former President Ronald Reagan’s administration in 1982 -- which included a pledge not to consult Beijing on arms sales to Taiwan.

Saying it was Xi who raised the issue of arms sales, Trump seemed to directly brush the pledge aside.

“What am I going to say? I don’t want to talk to you about it because I have an agreement that was signed in 1982?”

Asked about Trump’s comments, American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) Director Raymond Greene told CNA in a written interview that Trump and other senior U.S. officials had reaffirmed that there has been no change in U.S. policy toward Taiwan “and that this stance was clearly conveyed to the Chinese side.”

“This policy, which consists of the Three Communiques, the Taiwan Relations Act, and the Six Assurances, has been consistent across U.S. administrations from both parties and has ensured peace across the Taiwan Strait for nearly five decades,” Greene said.

He also said the recently concluded Trump-Xi meeting in Beijing had produced satisfactory outcomes for Washington, adding that “establishing a stable framework for bilateral relations will help enhance regional security, including in the Taiwan Strait.”

The White House had also made clear that Washington does not see “stable U.S.-China relations and a strong U.S.- Taiwan partnership as being in conflict,” he said.

Greene also said the U.S. welcomed President Lai Ching- te’s (賴清德) reiteration of Taiwan’s long-standing commitment to cross-Taiwan Strait dialogue and maintaining the cross-strait status quo.

Washington hopes Beijing will reciprocate by engaging with Taiwan’s democratically elected leaders “without preconditions and by reducing its military pressure around Taiwan,” Greene said.

Asked about the Legislative Yuan’s passage of a special defense budget with a spending cap of NT$780 billion (US $24.9 billion) exclusively for U.S. weapons systems, Greene said the U.S. viewed the passage as an “important first step toward meeting Taiwan’s urgent defense needs.”

“We now look forward to the Legislative Yuan working in a collaborative fashion to secure quick passage of funding for the remaining capabilities requested by the Ministry of National Defense, including drones and integrated air and missile defense,” he said.

KMT CHAIR’S UPCOMING U.S. TRIP

Regarding opposition Kuomintang (KMT) chairwoman Cheng Li-wun’s (鄭麗文) planned trip to the U.S., reportedly scheduled for June, Greene told CNA that many American lawmakers and scholars were looking forward to meeting her in person.

He said many of them were interested in asking her whether the KMT leadership “is fundamentally changing the party’s political orientation.”

According to Greene, most Americans “associate the KMT with Chiang Kai-shek and the fight against communism,” while many foreign policy experts view the modern KMT as a “centrist party” that has sought to balance strong defense and cooperation with the U.S. while engaging with Beijing “to preserve the status quo.”

In recent months, however, international media reports have created the impression that the KMT “has started to adopt or emulate CCP positions on key diplomatic and security issues,” while not considering the interests of the U.S. or Japan, Greene said.

“This visit should offer an opportunity to address those concerns, as well as clarify the KMT’s stance on pending issues such as investments in Taiwan’s defense industrial base,” Greene said.

Greene is the director of the AIT, which serves as the U.S.’ de facto embassy in Taiwan in the absence of official diplomatic ties.

Civic groups on Wednesday welcomed the government’s planned expansion of parental leave policies aimed at addressing the low birthrate, but cautioned that monthly child-rearing subsidies alone are unlikely to significantly boost fertility.

Their response came after President William Lai (賴清德) announced plans to expand maternity and paternity leave, and to provide a monthly NT$5,000 subsidy for children up to 18 years old as part of a broader strategy to tackle the declining birthrate.

Part of the subsidy would be deposited into a “future account” intended to help children build savings for university tuition and other expenses, Lai said in a speech marking the second anniversary of his first term in office.

The Childcare Policy Alliance in a statement said that reforms such as expanded childcare leave and proposed subsidies for companies to hire temporary replacement workers could help encourage employers to create more family-friendly workplaces, although the measures could face resistance from those without children.

“Without reform, overworked Taiwan will never achieve compatibility between work and parenting,” the alliance said, adding that studies have repeatedly shown such compatibility is a prerequisite for raising the birthrate.

At the same time, the group warned that direct cash subsidies for child-rearing alone have produced limited results in other nations, citing a Polish program which offered similar payments until children reached adulthood. Poland’s birthrate rose from below 1.3 to 1.45, before falling again two years later.

Separately, the Executive Yuan is set to review a broader “0-to-18 full support plan,” Premier Cho Jung-tai (卓榮泰) said on Tuesday.

The proposed package includes expanding flexible parental leave into a broader “childcare leave” system available until a child turns six, along with housing tax incentives for parents, and revisions to marriage, maternity and paternity leave policies.

Under the flexible parental leave system, employees with children younger than three can apply for leave in units of days rather than months, and receive subsidies covering 80 percent of their salary for up to 30 days per year.

The alliance also urged the government to ensure that reforms are grounded in gender equality.

It cited the examples of Japan and South Korea, both of which expanded paternity leave to four weeks in an effort to encourage fathers to share childcare responsibilities from the time a child is born.

Lawmaker, official clash over grand justice vacancies

Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Legislator Weng Hsiao-ling (翁曉玲) and Presidential Office Secretary-General Pan Men-an (潘孟安) traded barbs yesterday over prolonged vacancies on the Constitutional Court that have left the body severely understaffed for more than 18 months.

The dispute took place during a legislative committee session reviewing this year’s budget and work plans for the Presidential Office and the National Security Council.

During the hearing, Weng accused President William Lai (賴清德) of failing to fulfill his constitutional obligations by not submitting a new list of nominees to address the ongoing shortage.

There have been vacancies on the Constitutional Court since Oct. 31, 2024, when seven of the court’s 15 grand justices, including the chief justice and deputy chief justice, retired at the end of their eight-year terms.

Since then, Hsieh Ming-yang (謝銘洋) has served as acting president of the Judicial Yuan and acting chief justice of the Constitutional Court, while the vacancies remain unfilled.

Weng acknowledged that Lai had previously submitted two nomination lists, both of which were rejected by the legislature, where opposition parties hold a majority of seats, on Dec. 24, 2024, and July 25 last year.

However, she said that the president remains constitutionally obligated to continue nominating candidates until the vacancies are filled.

She questioned how long Hsieh would continue serving in an interim capacity, adding that Taiwan’s legal community includes far more qualified candidates than the 14 nominees already proposed.

Pan defended the administration’s handling of the issue, saying Lai had already nominated 14 legal experts in two separate rounds, all of whom were rejected by lawmakers.

“Should we keep submitting nominees only for them to be rejected again?” Pan asked, accusing legislators of subjecting respected legal experts to political attacks and humiliation during the confirmation process.

Weng countered that the Constitution requires the president to continue making nominations despite previous rejections.

Following the committee session, Pan clarified his remarks to reporters, walking back any implication that the administration would completely halt the nomination process.

He said that whether to submit new nominees is a decision for the president and not within the scope of his authority.

Pan said that his remarks were intended only to explain the process and rebut claims that the administration had failed to act.

“I was only stating the facts,” Pan said. “Whether or not to submit another list is the president’s authority.”

The political deadlock has significantly disrupted the court’s operations.

In late 2024, the legislature passed amendments to the Constitutional Court Procedure Act (憲法訴訟法) raising the minimum quorum for deliberations to 10 justices and requiring at least nine votes to declare a law unconstitutional, effectively paralyzing the court from operating with only eight grand justices.

However, the court resumed limited operations after contentiously striking down the amendments on Dec. 19 last year.

In that ruling, five of the remaining justices found the stricter quorum requirements unconstitutional, arguing that the reduced bench could continue hearing cases and issuing judgements.

Lawmakers from the opposition KMT and Taiwan People’s Party denounced the ruling, subsequently filing criminal malfeasance and abuse of power charges against the five justices.

The decision also exposed deep divisions within the judiciary, as three dissenting justices, all appointed by the ruling Democratic Progressive Party, said the ruling was invalid as the court lacked the 10-member threshold required at the time to issue such a constitutional judgement.

Under the Constitution, the Constitutional Court is composed of 15 grand justices, including the president and vice president of the Judicial Yuan.

All grand justices are nominated by the president and must receive confirmation from the Legislative Yuan before taking office.

CRACKDOWN CONTINUES: The clinics have been ordered to suspend operations, and local governments would later publish a list of those clinics, an official said

Thirty-five cosmetic clinics nationwide were found to have breached patient privacy regulations during a recent wave of inspections prompted by hidden camera controversies, with New Taipei City recording the most number of offenses at 14, the Ministry of Health and Welfare said yesterday.

A special task force found that 35 of 720 inspected clinics contravened the law, Department of Medical Affairs Deputy Director Liu Yu-ching (劉玉菁) said.

The first wave of inspections focused almost entirely on cosmetic clinics, accounting for about 99 percent of the targets, she said, adding that the goal was to find out whether the clinics had installed illegal surveillance cameras.

The 14 clinics were each handed the maximum fine of NT$500,000, Liu said.

The inspections were carried out after a branch of Airlee Group Co (愛爾麗集團) and other clinics were reported to have installed surveillance cameras that encroached on patient privacy.

Other clinics were also investigated, given the risk of patients’ privacy being violated, as they had to change clothes or bare parts of their bodies, Liu said, adding that inspections prioritized checking whether clinics had installed surveillance cameras, were recording people without their consent and how they manage their recordings.

Taoyuan had the second-highest number of clinics that contravened the law at six, followed by Kaohsiung with five, Taipei and Taichung with three each, Hsinchu City with two, and Tainan and Changhua County with one each, she said.

“The public can feel at ease,” as the clinics have been ordered to suspend operations, she added.

Regarding concerns that the inspections only targeted large cosmetic chains, Liu said that they were inspecting medical facilities in general and were not targeting chains or specific brands.

As for calls that the ministry reveal the list of clinics that had contravened the law, Liu said local governments would publish the results, and the central government is monitoring their progress in compiling the data.

Some cases have not yet been processed, which could lead to changes in the number of clinics found to have contravened the law, she said, adding that local health officials would continue inspections and update the numbers.

The probe follows a four-point consensus reached by the ministry on Wednesday last week regarding the use of recording equipment in medical institutions.

Under the new guidelines, the use of hidden recording devices is strictly prohibited, although standard cameras may be installed in public areas for security purposes, Liu said.

Recording in low-privacy spaces, such as general consultation rooms, is only permitted with the explicit consent of the patient, while recording in high-privacy spaces — such as operating rooms — is prohibited, she said.

Taiwan is to observe 121 days off work next year, with nine extended holidays that last three or more days, the Directorate-General of Personnel Administration announced yesterday.

The Cabinet has approved a list of public holidays to be observed by government agencies next year, the agency said in a statement, adding that the nine extended holidays would be led by a seven-day Lunar New Year break.

The other extended three-day holidays are the Founding Day of the Republic of China, Peace Memorial Day, Labor Day, Double Ten National Day, Taiwan Retrocession Day and Constitution Day.

As the 2028 Founding Day of the Republic of China, celebrated on Jan. 1, falls on a Saturday, a make-up day is to be observed Dec. 31 instead, the agency said.

There would also be a four-day extended holiday from April 3 to 6 to mark Children’s Day and the Tomb Sweeping festival, it added.

The calendar for public holidays stipulates that whenever a national holiday falls on a Saturday, a make-up day is to be set the preceding Friday, while the make-up day for holidays that fall on a Sunday are set for the following Monday.

The calendar only applies to public servants and employees of state-run enterprises, the agency said, adding that workers in other sectors — such as police, firefighters, coast guard personnel and military staff — might have their schedules adjusted to meet operational needs.

title: EDITORIAL: Resist China’s ‘reunification’ scam

people: 習近平 賴清德

As analysts try to figure out how last week’s summit between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平) would affect Taiwan, a closer look at Xi’s remarks offer a glimpse into his anxiety and uncertainty over initiating war in the Taiwan Strait, while attempting to disguise his expansionist agenda through the use of rhetoric such as “opposing Taiwanese independence.”

Prior to the conclusion of the summit, Xinhua news agency published a report quoting Xi as telling Trump that “the Taiwan question is the most important issue in China-US relations” and that “safeguarding peace stability in Taiwan Strait is the biggest common denominator between China and the US.”

“Taiwanese independence and peace in Taiwan Strait are incompatible,” Xi said, adding that “if it is handled properly, the bilateral [China-US] relationship will enjoy overall stability. Otherwise, the two countries will have clashes and even conflicts.”

Threats by Xi should not be new to Trump, who appears, accordigng to media reports, to have played the role of a listener at the summit.

“Xi talked a lot about Taiwan. Xi feels very strongly about the island, and he does not want to see a movement for independence,” Trump said.

“I heard him out, but I didn’t make a comment on it,” he added.

Asked if he foresaw a conflict with China over Taiwan, Trump said: “No, I don’t think so. I think we’ll be fine,” adding that Xi does not want to see a war.

Trump also said that Xi had asked him directly whether the US would defend Taiwan if China attacked it. Trump said he had declined to answer, adding: “There’s only one person that knows that and it is me.”

While Trump maintained the US’ long-standing strategic ambiguity on Taiwan, the talks exposed Xi’s anxiety over the potential costs of rushing into war. They also suggested that deterrence against China’s aggression — including cooperation among the US and allies, Taiwan’s asymmetric defense and semiconductor supply chain resilience — is having an effect.

China’s opposition to “Taiwanese independence” is part of its cognitive warfare and push for cross-strait “unification,” meaning the forcible takeover of Taiwan to fulfill Xi’s “Chinese dream of national rejuvenation” and broader ambition for global dominance.

However, the Republic of China (ROC) was founded in 1912 — decades before the People’s Republic of China was established by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in 1949. The ROC government retreated to Taiwan during the Chinese Civil War and evolved into a mature democracy. Taiwan has never been ruled by communist China, and its sovereignty, Constitution, judiciary, military and border controls constitute the Taiwan Strait “status quo.”

Xi and the CCP have long feared Taiwan and the Democratic Progressive Party government would declare independence, as stronger support for sovereignty weakens Beijing’s “unification” agenda and “one China” principle.

After the Trump-Xi summit, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio reaffirmed that “the US’ policy on Taiwan remains unchanged,” and warned that China’s preference is for Taiwan to “willingly, voluntarily join them” through “some vote or a referendum.”

Rubio’s remarks underscored Beijing’s preference to annex Taiwan through cognitive warfare and “united front” tactics, including slogans such as “peace framework” and “peaceful unification,” aimed at persuading Taiwanese to abandon autonomy and confusing international perceptions of Taiwanese sovereignty.

Miles Yu (余茂春), director of the China Center at the Hudson Institute in Washington, said Xi is using Taiwan as a “shield” to deflect from issues raised by Washington, including trade deficits, fentanyl trafficking and the Iran war.

With Iranian Minister of Foreign Affairs Abbas Araghchi and Russian President Vladimir Putin also visiting China this month, Beijing appears more focused on diplomatic theater than on using its influence to end the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East.

China is also undermining stability in the Asia Pacific, especially in the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea, through military drills and territorial incursions.

“It would be a terrible mistake for China to pursue what it calls ‘reunification’ by force,” Rubio said. “There would be repercussions for that globally, not just for the US.”

While maintaining the “status quo” remains Taiwan’s consensus, President William Lai (賴清德) reiterated after the summit that Taiwan seeks to safeguard its sovereignty, democracy and freedom, and that “Taiwan’s future should be decided by Taiwanese, not any foreign forces.”

The real challenge facing Taiwan and the world is not Taiwanese independence, but resisting China’s “Taiwan reunification” scam.


title: Dear President Trump, you are mistaken

content_text:
US President Donald Trump recently repeated his claim that “Taiwan stole America’s chip industry,” reigniting public debate on the issue.

As a former Taiwanese minister of economic affairs and an entrepreneur deeply involved in semiconductor supply chain development, I feel a responsibility to clarify this misunderstanding.

From the perspective of global industrial evolution and the economic principle of comparative advantage, such a statement appears overly simplistic and risks obscuring the essence of the issue.

The rise of Taiwan’s semiconductor industry was not built on “replacing America,” but rather emerged as a result of countries pursuing different development paths within the framework of global industrial specialization.

According to international economic theory, no country can maintain a competitive edge in every sector.

Instead, nations allocate resources toward industries where they possess the greatest efficiency and strategic advantages. This is precisely the fundamental concept of comparative advantage.

Over the past several decades, the US has consistently played the role of a global leader in technological innovation.

From semiconductor science and electronic design automation design tools to core intellectual property, chip architectures, system design and software ecosystems, the US has firmly controlled the most critical upstream segments of the technology value chain.

The strategy of US companies has long been clear: Concentrate resources on research and development, innovation and brand value, while gradually outsourcing manufacturing — which requires substantial capital investment and labor intensity — to emerging economies and regions. This was not a forced retreat; it was a strategic decision based on comparative advantage.

Recognizing Asia’s strengths in manufacturing costs, labor resources and operational efficiency, US firms helped shape an international division-of-labor model.

Within this framework, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and later China each assumed important manufacturing roles across different segments of the technology industry.

Taiwan did not acquire semiconductor capabilities out of thin air.

During the 1970s, Taiwan introduced technology from the now-defunct American RCA Corp through Taiwan’s Industrial Technology Research Institute, establishing its technological foundation.

Over the following decades, Taiwan invested heavily in talent cultivation, process optimization, supply chain integration and industrial cluster development, gradually building the competitive position it holds today.

The key factor was not simply acquiring technology; it was continuous improvement.

Semiconductor manufacturing is not merely a matter of following a circuit blueprint and producing chips accordingly.

It is an industry that demands extraordinary discipline, precision management and sustained long-term investment. A one-percentage-point improvement in yield rates, or a one-generation lead in process technology, can create enormous competitive advantages.

There are no shortcuts in this industry, and it is inaccurate to summarize such a complex process with the word “steal.”

The US did not lose the semiconductor industry; rather, it redefined its role within it.

Even today, many of the world’s most critical technologies — including chip design, operating systems, artificial intelligenc (AI) architectures, semiconductor equipment and advanced materials — remain largely under US leadership. US companies continue to occupy the commanding heights of the global technology value chain.

In recent years, geopolitical shifts and supply chain disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic prompted the US to reconsider an important question: Has the relentless pursuit of efficiency weakened manufacturing resilience and potentially threatened national security?

This has led to active industrial policies encouraging manufacturing reshoring. The purpose is not to reject globalization or international specialization, but rather to rebalance the relationship between efficiency and security.

Therefore, Taiwan’s achievements in semiconductors should not be mischaracterized as having “replaced” or “taken away” someone else’s industry.

What should be emphasized instead is that Taiwan, through decades of investment, professional capability and industrial resilience, has established a position that is difficult to replicate.

Industry is not a zero-sum game.

Taiwan’s success does not imply another country’s failure. More accurately, the US chose innovation, while Taiwan chose manufacturing; the US created technological value, while Taiwan realized technological value.

Together, Taiwan and the US built one of the most successful collaborative models in the history of the global technology industry.

The challenge today is not to revisit arguments about who once owned which industry. The more important question is: Who has the ability to shape the future, define the rules and lead the next wave of global industrial transformation?

The semiconductor industry has already demonstrated the power of complementary strengths.

With continued collaboration, Taiwan and the US can together create the next era of technological prosperity.

title: Puma Shen’s uphill mayoral run

content_text:
This year’s Taipei mayoral race is not your average local election. It is a contest of values — a debate over how Taiwan’s capital should navigate the road ahead.

When the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) officially announced Puma Shen (沈伯洋) as its nominee, the first reaction of many was not about policy, but simply: This will not be easy.

Taipei has long been understood as a stronghold of the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT), with the nickname Tian Long Guo (天龍國) or “Kingdom of the Celestial Dragons.”

What we should be asking ourselves is not who is most likely to win the race, but rather how the political and economic structure of Taipei came about in the first place.

After 1949, large numbers of central government institutions, financial resources, tertiary institutes and state-run enterprises became concentrated in Taipei. More than just the formation of a central executive authority, this was the emergence of an entire system based on accumulated power, assets and class.

Those who secured early access to land, government housing, places in military dependents’ villages or property in core urban areas went on to amass enormous wealth in the coming decades as the capital developed.

In many cases, what changed people’s fortunes was not necessarily their abilities, but being in the right place at the right time.

Democratization brought in equal voting rights, but the underlying structures of asset ownership remained. As property prices have continued to rise, asset owners have seen their wealth increase, while the younger generation finds it harder to get a foot in the door.

As a result, today’s Taipei faces a contradiction.

Many people recognize that problems with soaring house prices, low wages, population outflows and class entrenchment are only getting worse. Yet, they fear major reforms because these could affect property values, assets and their retirement.

This is the essence of the Tian Long Guo grip on Taipei.

It is not just a product of arrogance, but of the sense of security that long-term asset accumulation has built. If a city offers nothing more than the preservation of asset values while young people’s hope for the future is gradually stripped away, then prosperity inevitably turns to stagnation.

Taipei has started to exhibit warning signs. Pressure on young renters is mounting, small families are struggling to settle down, and young entrepreneurs and technology workers are choosing to trade Taipei for Hsinchu, Kaohsiung and Tainan, or to move overseas.

In comparison, Kaohsiung and Tainan have, with the development of technology and semiconductor industries, have started to see young people begin to return.

What this represents is simple: A city’s future is never set in stone.

The real threat is not change itself, but the assumption that things would never change. Tokyo once slid into long-term stagnation thanks to an asset price bubble; Seoul has also developed a problem with generational conflict because of house prices and urban youth poverty rates.

No city can maintain prosperity by clinging to past accumulated assets and institutional dividends alone.

In this kind of tough constituency, someone who is willing to rise to challenge represents a welcome new attitude.

What Shen faces is not just an election battle, but the structural inertia of a system that has been operating for decades.

For a person who is willing to talk about risk and change to emerge in a city that has become fettered by its own false sense of security already represents the possibility of another kind of future.

What is important is not politicking or media attention, but whether someone can address the city’s real problems.

This mayoral election is less about who wins or loses, and more about whether Taipei can be reimagined as a city in which young people can dare to dream, work hard and believe in opportunities.

A real capital should not just be a place for vested interests to rest easy. It should also be a place for those who work hard to have the opportunity to get a foot in the door and carve a life out for themselves.

When a city protects only what is in the past, it starts to lose its grip on the future.

It is not old houses that age a city — it is when young people have no reason to believe that working hard still has any meaning.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on Wednesday bounced back from a sub-par series opener to score 30 points, while Alex Caruso added 17 off the bench as the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the San Antonio Spurs 122-113 in Game 2 of the NBA Western Conference finals.

Chet Holmgren scored 13 points, while reserves Jared McCain and Cason Wallace each had 12 for Oklahoma City. The Thunder finished with a 57-25 edge in bench scoring, plus a 27-10 advantage in points off turnovers.

“I thought we all played better,” Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said. “I had a quiet confidence about that. I didn’t know if we’d win or lose the game, but I was pretty sure after watching Game 1 and knowing our team that we were going to come out and play better tonight.”

Stephon Castle scored 25 points for the Spurs, who got 22 points from Devin Vassell and a 21-point, 17-rebound, six-assist, four-block night from Victor Wembanyama.

Game 3 is scheduled for San Antonio, Texas, today, with the series tied at 1-1.

“The guys brought it tonight,” Gilgeous-Alexander said. “Knowing what it would have meant if we lost this one, we brought the energy from the jump.”

Isaiah Hartenstein — who barely played in Game 1 — had 10 points and 13 rebounds for the Thunder, who improved to 14-5 after a loss this season — and beat the Spurs for just the second time in seven meetings.

The win was not without cost for the Thunder, who lost guard Jalen Williams — who had already missed six games in the playoffs with a left hamstring strain — in the first half with a recurrence of the hamstring issue.

The Thunder said it was tightness, but even that would figure to put his availability for today’s game in doubt.

The Spurs got banged up as well. Already without All-Star guard De’Aaron Fox because of ankle soreness, San Antonio lost his replacement in the starting lineup — Dylan Harper — to a right-leg injury after he took a couple of awkward falls in the third quarter.

Spurs coach Mitch Johnson had no update on Harper after the game, although he said that it puts “a ton” of pressure on others when his team is down two guards.

“Obviously this team is as good as anybody at turning you over, so when you’re down some of your primary creators and initiators it causes a little bit of an extra strain, whether that’s who to play, what to play, what to run, etc, etc,” Johnson said. “We’ll just have to be sharper in that area because it’s tough fully loaded against these guys.”

title: ‘Trump’ buffalo is a celebrity in Bangladesh

content_text:
Crowds in Bangladesh are flocking to snap photographs with an unlikely social media star — an albino buffalo with flowing blond hair nicknamed “Donald Trump” that is due to be sacrificed within days.

Owner Zia Uddin Mridha, 38, said his brother named the 700kg bull over its flowing helmet of hair resembling the signature look of the US president.

“My younger brother picked this name because of the buffalo’s extraordinary hair,” he said at his farm in Narayanganj, just outside the capital, Dhaka.

Mridha said that a constant stream of curious visitors — social media fans, onlookers and children — have come throughout the month, eager to see the Internet sensation.

He watched as men poured a cool bucket of water over the bull’s head, running a pink brush through its blond comb-over, neatly tucked between sweeping curved horns.

“The only luxury he enjoys is bathing four times a day,” Mridha said, stressing that the similarities between the bull and the president stopped at the hair.

Albino buffaloes are extremely rare and appear white or pink due to a lack of melanin production, Bangladeshi Department of Livestock Services officials said.

Muslim-majority Bangladesh, a South Asian nation of 170 million people, is preparing for Eid al-Adha, the Islamic “feast of the sacrifice,” later this month.

More than 12 million head of livestock — including goats, sheep, cows and buffaloes — are expected to be sacrificed during the holiday, when many poorer families get a rare chance to feast on meat.

Mridha said that the stress of the crowds had caused the buffalo to lose weight, forcing restrictions on public viewing.

Still, children continue to peer through the gates for a glimpse.

Businessman Faisal Ahmed, 30, was among those who got close, snapping photographs.

“Truly, the features are similar between the buffalo and President Donald Trump,” Ahmed said, after arriving with five friends and relatives to see the animal.

“My nephew took a one-hour boat journey just to come and see ‘Donald Trump,’” he added.

While the Trump buffalo has become a national star online, it is not the only buffalo with a nickname.

His companions include an aggressive bull named “Tufan,” meaning “storm,” a generously sized animal called “Fat Boy” and the gentle-natured “Sweet Boy.”

One golden-haired bull was named after Brazilian soccer star Neymar for his bleached-blond cut.

Mridha, who has cared for his four-year-old buffalo for the past year, looked with affection at the animal, snuffling through a bowl of fodder.

‘Their story is our story’: Pigeons and humans, 3,500 years together

They have been our meat and our messengers, a source of fertilizer and a religious symbol: while pigeons are now mostly reviled as dirty city pests, they long played an important role in human society.

Now, research published yesterday has revealed that the humble birds were first domesticated 3,500 years ago, meaning they have been enmeshed in our lives for nearly a millennium longer than previously thought.

“Humans forgetting about pigeons happened relatively recently in human history,” said Anderson Carter, a bioarchaeologist at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands.

Pigeons were still a useful part of society as recently as the 19th and 20th centuries, explained the lead author of a new study in the journal Antiquity.

“They were still being used to carry messages and even had an important role in wars in particular,” she added.

“But then a lot of technological advancements happened, the telegraph was invented and then the telephone, and pigeons were out of a job.”

However, because we had spent thousands of years conditioning them to live alongside us, the birds stayed nearby.

It was only when huge cities emerged after the industrial revolution that “there was a rising view that they were pests, dirty and spreading diseases,” Carter said.

Now, “anti-pigeon architecture such as spikes on top of buildings” are a common sight, she added.

FREE BIRD

The common pigeon — or rock dove — originally came from the Mediterranean region. Genomic analysis has shown that today’s city-dwellers are closely related to wild doves from the Middle East.

For the new research, a Dutch-led team of scientists went to the Hala Sultan Tekke archaeological site on the shores of the Larnaca salt lake in southeast Cyprus.

They analyzed 159 ancient pigeon bones to find out how they lived and died — and look for signs of human intervention, such as cuts.

Biometric and isotopic analysis revealed that the pigeons lived in the 13th and 14th centuries BC, during the Bronze Age.

By extracting collagen from the bones, the scientists were able to find out their ratios of nitrogen and carbon, which is closely linked to an animal’s diet. The results were then compared with animals and humans found in Cyprus dating to the same period.

“The Hala Sultan Tekke pigeons overlapped pretty significantly with the results from humans from other Bronze Age Cypriot sites, showing that they likely ate a very similar diet to humans,” Carter said.

“This very likely means that they were domesticated or on their way to being domesticated” at around 1,400 BC, senior study author Canan Cakirlar of the Royal Netherlands Institute of Sea Research said in a statement.

That is nearly a thousand years earlier than previous research has found, including giant stone structures used as pigeon nesting houses discovered in Greece dating from around 300 BC.

One goal of the research is “to change how we interact with and think about this bird,” Carter said.

“And start realizing that their story is also our story.”

SPEAK UP: Same-sex marriage support hits 70% on 7th anniversary (2/2) 同婚七週年支持率升至七成（下）

A: While Taiwan is celebrating the 7th anniversary of legalizing same-sex marriage, a poll shows that the support rate for same-sex marriage rose sharply from 37.4 percent seven years ago to 69.9 percent last year.

B: Actually, I’m a bit curious about the size of Taiwan’s LGBT population.

A: I’m not sure. But if we take a Gallup poll in the US as an example, 9.3 percent of American adults identified as LGBT in 2024.

B: Wow, is it because the Americans are relatively open? In many other countries, the figures hover around 5 percent.

A: Based on this, Taiwan’s total population is 23.28 million — with 5 percent accounting for 1.16 million. So the million-strong “rainbow army” cannot be overlooked.

A: 在台灣慶祝同婚七週年之際，民調顯示同婚支持率從七年前的37.4％，大幅上升至去年的69.9％！

B: 我有點好奇台灣的同志人口有多少？

A: 這我也不清楚…，不過以美國「蓋洛普」民調為例，2024年美國高達9.3％的成人自認屬於同志族群。

B: 這是因為美國人比較開放嗎？許多國家統計通常在5％上下。

A: 以此推測在台灣總人口2,328萬人當中，5％的話也就是116萬人，百萬「彩虹大軍」實在不容忽視。

記者蔡厚瑄／綜合報導

臺南市呂如晃／蕭世正／鄭勝夫在上屆全障運不敵臺北市銀恨，今日上演甜蜜的復仇，以2096分斬獲肢體障礙三人賽A組金牌。賽後，隊長鄭勝夫的眼淚也隨著肩頭上的重擔一起釋放。

「這是開心的眼淚！」鄭勝夫這次擔任臺南市代表隊保齡球隊長，除了對自己有很高的期許，平時還要協助隊友們訓練，不知不覺就將壓力扛在肩上，最終能收獲好成績，他也很開心，「因為我很喜歡打保齡球，大家一起努力打拼，我覺得這樣的氛圍很好，也謝謝他們願意相信我。」他也想感謝幫助過球隊的教練，黃永松、黃子杰、黃瓊瑤、洪淑君、胡政良、張盈琪，以及十分支持他的公司。

除了代表隊長，鄭勝夫平時也是臺南市身心障礙者體育協會旗下所設的星光保齡球隊隊長，隊上約有15人，他表示，過去選手多為小兒麻痺或是脊椎損傷患者，但現在是後天發生意外截肢者居多，有些人一開始會封閉自己不願意和他人接觸，因此，協會會主動去關心剛發生事故的朋友，邀請他們加入協會一起來運動。除了保齡球隊外，還有地板冰壺隊和桌球隊。

鄭勝夫也是截肢患者，現在他已經可以做到在比賽中使用截肢腿穩定身體，而不會影響表現，因此希望能以自身故事鼓勵大家勇敢的投身運動，不用擔心沒有基礎或是球具，隊伍都很願意協助。另外，只要加入球隊，在花費較多的球資部分也會有所補助。

今年49歲的鄭勝夫是隊伍中較為年輕的球員，大家因為熱愛保齡球而相聚，有機會也會一起參加比賽，除了成績之外，他更希望能看到隊伍中的長輩們身體健康，他說：「可以看到他們來練球，大家都健健康康，我覺得這就是最棒的！」

冷靜與熱情之間，臺北市射擊隊謝宛錚學著轉換心境，結束115年全國身心障礙國民運動會射擊賽事，她收拾行囊，準備前往下一個賽場，游泳池畔。

「這次射擊表現其實沒有特別好，像是混雙，跟廖瑞友一起，決賽還是很容易緊張，沒辦法發揮出來，還需要再去適應決賽的節奏。」謝宛錚在聽覺障礙混合組射擊10公尺空氣手槍團體賽，與好手廖瑞友搭檔，原本兩人在資格賽表現出色，以545分搶下第一，但進入決賽後沒能穩定輸出，最終獲得銀牌。

▲臺北市謝宛錚、廖瑞友。（圖／115全障運提供）

謝宛錚本屆在射擊項目收下兩面銀牌，她很快重整心情，要回到熟悉又有些許陌生的游泳賽場。上屆南投全障運，她在泳池畔收穫三銀一銅，這次報名9項賽事，沒有特別設定目標，要盡自己所能爭取佳績。

「自己從小就靜不下來，很喜歡一直動，喜歡有挑戰性的活動，喜歡動態的感覺，最初開始學游泳是為了增加肺活量，幫助說話，也讓身體變好。」謝宛錚在2009年還是臺北聽奧游泳國手，2011年開始轉練射擊，堅持到現在，去年也成為東京聽奧射擊國手。

射擊和游泳，一靜、一動，謝宛錚坦言確實是完全相反的運動類型，「我其實沒有特別去想轉換這件事。」

謝宛錚的媽媽兼教練林秀端補充說，「很多游泳選手想轉射擊都沒有成功，主要是因為腎上腺素，一緊張就靜不下來，她算是轉型成功的例子，雖然還不夠，但她現在慢慢在學習如何讓自己靜下來。」林秀端透露孩子從小就喜歡生存遊戲，很愛玩射擊，最後還是走上射擊這條路。

謝宛錚表示每個人都要找到屬於自己的調整方式，「我可能是呼吸的方式，但還要研究，每個人都有適合自己的方式，我還要試試，應該會越來越好。」

目前謝宛錚是東華大學碩士班學生，正在準備論文，游泳出身的她，體能條件出眾，近年也接觸鐵人三項，其他團隊甚至希望她嘗試定向越野，她覺得每個項目都是挑戰，很感謝家人總在身旁陪伴。生命中的最佳搭檔林秀端認為，謝宛錚不怕失敗，心情調適很快，具備運動員最佳的心理要件，所以也願意勇敢去挑戰不同的舞台。

▲富邦勇士曾祥鈞霸氣雙手灌籃。（圖／臺北富邦勇士提供）

記者蔡厚瑄／台北報導

PLG季後賽首輪於今日點燃戰火，富邦勇士在和平籃球館主場以119比92大勝台鋼獵鷹，在5戰3勝制的系列賽中取得開門紅，富邦勇士替補長人曾祥鈞此役表現高效，上場14分鐘繳出6投6中、百分之百命中率，攻下全隊本土最高的13分，並上演兩次灌籃，成為球隊調度活棋。

談起本場比賽的亮眼表現，曾祥鈞特別提及與隊長林志傑的搭配。其中一次灌籃正是接獲林志傑的助攻，他笑說：「傑哥傳球過來，我就是專注把finish做好，因為他一直很鼓勵我。」當被告知林志傑在場邊看到他漂亮把球放進時，相當興奮還激動振臂慶祝，曾祥鈞先是一愣，隨後露出笑容回應：「真的喔？」

儘管林志傑在球隊中向來話不多，但曾祥鈞坦言，隊長的影響力完全展現在訓練與場上的行動，「傑哥其實不擅長用言語激勵，但他會用場上表現說話。季後賽前這幾天的練球，傑哥給出的強度非常強，他是在用行動告訴大家『現在是不一樣的情況』。」

曾祥鈞表示，林志傑這種「以身作則」的態度，讓整支球隊在季後賽模式中更為緊繃且專注，「看到傑哥這樣做，大家自然而然更想跟上他的腳步，這份強度感染了全隊。」

除了進攻端的發揮，曾祥鈞對於自己的表現也有反思，他坦言在比賽中段出現過幾次「笨的犯規」，這顯示自己在防守細節與比賽成熟度上仍有提升空間，「我覺得這是自己還要成長的地方，季後賽容錯率低，不能出現這種錯誤。」

面對接下來的系列賽，曾祥鈞目標明確，強調全隊上下都保持平常心，「雖然教練團希望能盡快結束系列賽，但我們就是一步一步走，一場一場專注拿下來。」

記者蔡厚瑄／台北報導

PLG季後賽首輪G1今日於富邦主場開打，台鋼獵鷹遭富邦勇士強勢壓制，最終以92比119大比分敗北，系列賽以0比1暫時落後。此役獵鷹防線在第2節後段徹底崩盤，遭對手轉換快攻打亂節奏，賽後總教練柯納直言，球隊一旦試圖依靠個人能力強攻，便會失去體系優勢。

談及比賽轉折，柯納認為球隊在前一節半的時間內表現還算紀律，讓賽況維持在勢均力敵的狀態。然而，隨著幾次不必要的失誤，獵鷹防線開始鬆動，「就像拔掉了插頭一樣，我們再也無法修復。」柯納指出，球隊絕非能靠個人英雄主義解決困境的隊伍，一旦球隊陷入恐慌，進攻與防守執行力便隨之瓦解。

他強調，系列賽不是單場勝負的角逐，「我寧願輸一次30分，也不願輸三次10分。」對於0比1的劣勢，柯納明確表示這是給球隊的震撼教育，要求全隊必須團結，回歸團隊體系才能在接下來的比賽爭取反擊機會。

反觀富邦勇士，面對長達12天的休兵期，總教練許晉哲坦言賽前確實擔心球員會「找不到比賽感覺」。但他肯定球員在訓練期間的專注度，讓球隊在半場過後找回慣有的攻守節奏，特別是古德溫的破壞力，為團隊創造了更多空檔，曾祥鈞賽後也表示，這是全隊進攻慾望強烈、執行戰術的共同成果。

對於台鋼獵鷹而言，除了戰術層面的調整，傷病問題更為棘手，主力謝宗融在第3節因腳踝扭傷退場，柯納說第一時間看到他腳踝已明顯腫脹，但詳細結果可能還待檢查之後才能知道，球隊將採取「每天觀察」的方式評估其復原進度。

谷毛唯嘉則坦言，第2節後的防守漏洞讓勇士打得太自在，這將是球隊下一場比賽的首要修正課題。

家住台北的刘先生在心脏血管装过两次支架，术后恢复良好也规律回诊，与家人出游时，突然胸闷、冒冷汗。急救人员使用12导程心电图，并联系医师评估，研判是心肌梗塞急症，送医打通血管重新装上支架，才化险为夷。刘先生直言，整个过程仿佛是一场紧张刺激的人生电影。

刘先生没有抽烟也没有高血压、高血脂、高血糖等三高慢性病，前（2024）年出现莫名胸闷胸痛及呼吸喘促症状后，就医检查发现心脏三条大血管全部都阻塞。当时先在阻塞最严重的左前降枝冠状动脉装上支架，去（2025）年又在左回旋支冠状动脉装上第二根支架。

12导程心电图揪出ST段上升 确诊急性心肌梗塞亚洲大学附设医院心脏内科医师施荣彰说明，当天刘先生病发时含舌下锭也不见缓解，家人打119求救，消防分队高级救护技术员在救护车上执行到院前12导程心电图检查，从12个不同角度观察心脏电气活动，精准判断心肌缺氧的位置与严重程度。检查结果发现患者心电图呈现ST段上升现象，是急性心肌梗塞的典型警讯，代表心脏血管已经完全阻塞，必须立即抢救。

救护技术员随即线上联系台湾紧急救护医疗指导医师学会，值班医师评估后，告知先给予患者生理食盐水避免休克，并建议尽快转送医院执行心导管手术。

施荣彰指出，刘先生到院后以超音波检查，确认左前降支冠状动脉已呈现完全阻塞状态，正是两年前曾施作支架手术的位置。考量血栓性质强硬，医疗团队以微导管辅助通过病灶，并合并强效抗血小板药物治疗，总算打通血管并重新安装新支架，确保血流恢复通畅。

2026年5月14日，美国总统川普与中共党魁习近平出席双边会晤。(Alex Wong/Getty Images)【大纪元2026年05月21日讯】（大纪元特约记者横河新闻分析）川习会无联合声明，普习会中俄两项联合声明，反映的是美中与俄中的真实关系，三国关系仍在调整中，可变因素是俄国。川普证实将和台湾领导人通话的意义何在。

川普（特朗普）前脚离京，普京后脚就到，中共显然是在搞平衡。

欢迎级别：普京比川普低半级从欢迎级别来看，普京比川普低半级，到机场的是外长王毅，副国级，比不上正国级的韩正。虽说王毅是政治局委员，韩正什么都不是，但韩正是排名7常委之后的第八名。

为此，克里姆林宫还专门表示，“没有必要比较”形式，更应关注访问本身的实质内容。虽说这体现俄方更看重北京在经济、能源与军民技术上的实质支持，但也承认了形式上确实低了级别。

实质份量：普习会比川习会要重但实质上普习会比川习会的份量要重。中俄共同发表了两个联合声明，第一个是《中俄关于进一步加强全面战略协作、深化睦邻友好合作的联合声明》，重点是强化两国友谊，包括续签了《中俄睦邻友好合作条约》。

这是25年前江泽民签的，续签一般只是个形式，该条约把满清和中华民国都没有承认的、被割让给俄国的几百万平方公里的土地合法化永久化了。

这再次提醒人们，中共最好的朋友是历史上对中国和中华民族伤害最深的国家。本来有些中国人希望趁着俄国迫切有求于中共的时机，可以在续签的时候争取收回部分领土，如海参崴这些地方。

从实力和时机来看，中共本来是可以这么做的，但从中共本质来看，却是不会做的。毕竟中共是外来政权，对中国起到的主要是破坏作用，而这个外来政权又正好是俄国传来的。虽然在实力和影响力上，中俄关系已经发生了实质性的变化，尤其是俄乌战争四年后，可以说角色对换已经基本完成，中共成了老大哥，俄国反成为小弟弟。

而第二个《关于构建多极世界和新型国际关系的联合宣言》，除了没有点名美国，从头到尾就是赤裸裸的反美宣言。反对霸权与单边主义，强调遵守《联合国宪章》的宗旨和原则，反对少数国家“基于规则的秩序”取代普遍接受的国际法等，不仅针对美国，更是中共的一贯主张，俄国只是在附和。

还有一条和俄国有关的是自相矛盾的，在同一条下面同时叙述了“反对军事同盟的无序扩张”和“主张透过对话协商以和平方式解决争端”。前者无疑是指俄国所指控的北约东扩，而后者套到俄国身上是最合适的。

两国元首还共同见证了40项涵盖贸易、科技与教育等领域的双边合作文件的签署。

可以说普京得到了他想要得到大部分，因为公开会谈之后还有一个秘密会谈，内容没有公布，外界并不知道所有细节。但很明显是俄国需要中共提供援助，尤其是俄国在西方制裁下，战场形势又很不利，连首都莫斯科都遭到大规模无人机轰炸，急需政治上、经济上和军事装备上的支持。这种支持，全世界也只有中共有能力而且愿意提供。

但中共在俄国败相开始显露的时候，会不会冒着得罪欧洲的风险公开军事支持俄国是很值得怀疑的。

相比之下，川习会后没有发表联合声明。中方甚至连个稍微正式一点的官方表达都没有，只有一个新华社的报导。双方也没有签署任何文件或协议，购买波音飞机和农产品只是个口头承诺。

习近平和普京还召开了联合记者会，而川习会后连这个都没有。

美中关系：习强调修昔底德陷阱 是羞辱自己而美中关系，习近平强调的是不要落入修昔底德陷阱，这就是美中关系的现状。习近平对自己这个提法一定是非常自鸣得意，在新华社的标准稿件中，一开始就是“习近平指出，当前百年变局加速演进，国际形势变乱交织，中美两国能不能跨越修昔底德陷阱”，等等。

百年变局并非国际通用词汇，而是习近平2017年独创的专有名词，认为世界格局正在发生变化，东升西降，暗指美国正在衰退，中共必须抓紧时机取而代之。这往往和人类命运共同体一起使用。在这里提修昔底德陷阱，前提是新崛起的大国对原有的开始或正在衰落的霸权造成威胁，战争不可避免。

姑且不论这并不符合世界历史，川普肯定不爱听，这次他也强调，美国没有衰落，现在更是前所未有的强大。

然而习近平确实是把自己当作新崛起的唯一能挑战美国的力量，从他任期中提出人类命运共同体、东升西降、战狼外交都可以看出，他是把自己当作挑战斯巴达的雅典了。既然如此，如何才能避免修昔底德陷阱？

当然习不会约束自己不要挑战美国，而是要求美国不要防范和对抗中共的崛起和挑战。这纯粹是在刺激川普的神经。

不过习近平大概不知道，伯罗奔尼撒战争是以挑战者雅典的失败而告终的。这是既羞辱了自己，又得罪了川普，也不知是哪个智囊给他出的馊主意。习近平多半自己不会知道这个典故，他的引经据典是跟自己过不去。

中美是对手 中俄“战略伙伴”存变数中美是对手，无论表面文章做得多风光；中俄是战略伙伴，或者盟友，无论私下里有多少互相算计，这一点至少现在没有改变。

这三国之间的关系，从中共建政后选择了亲苏反美，到冷战高峰时美中和解对付苏联，再到文革结束中共改革开放转向美国，苏联解体后俄国融入西方社会失败，中国崛起挑战美国，美国则转向美国优先，三国又都经过了试探、反复和动荡，正处于重新定位和整合阶段，其中不确定因素是俄国。

中共反美不会变，因为习近平将美国当作自己崛起称霸世界的主要障碍。但在美国优先的政策下，俄国反美的因素至少已经没有那么强烈，主要的障碍是俄乌战争。

一旦俄乌战争结束，美俄开始走向和解，中俄之间的一些矛盾会随着共同敌人的消失而逐渐显露。

有人认为中共在连续美俄元首访问后展示了全球权力核心地位，其实并非如此。川普是去缓和两国关系，或者是去管控分歧和冲突的。主线就是“建设性战略稳定”，不是去竞争，虽然会有明争暗斗，更不是去朝拜。

而普京是去求救的，无论表面上说得多好听。在委内瑞拉、巴拿马运河、伊朗以及霍尔木兹海峡封锁等一系列事件后，中共的盟友和自己连续遭受打击，中共却毫无作为，面子里子丢尽，哪来的全球权力核心地位？

川普总统再次证实将和赖清德通话昨天，川普总统再次证实了他将和台湾总统赖清德通话。他在安德鲁斯联合基地登上空军一号前回答记者提问时说，“我会和他（赖清德）交谈，我和所有人交谈。我们已经很好地控制住了局势。”如果通话发生，这将是非常重要的事件。

1979年中美建交以来，仅有一次美台最高领导人直接通话的公开记录。2016年12月，当时是中华民国总统蔡英文祝贺川普当选美国总统，通话长达10多分钟。通话包括了双边经济、政治与安全关系。当时在国际间引发了极大的关注与外交震荡。

近十年过去了。上一次如果说主要是有个祝贺当选的借口，这次就是真正的对话，就某一实质性话题讨论。对台军售不是和中共的谈判筹码，川普并没有什么需要求中共的东西，而且要是筹码，应该是和中共谈，而不是和台湾谈。

和台湾谈，就是要台湾做出某种承诺，比如增加国防预算，加强台湾军事力量，甚至可能要求台湾芯片产能更多地移往美国。

川普突破禁区 挑战中共领导人脆弱神经美国对台湾的承诺，几十年来都是单方面的。台湾关系法是国内立法，三个公报是美中公报，台湾从未参与，六项保证是里根总统做出的，也没有台湾参与，至少没有在首脑层面。

川普现在要和治理台湾的人，也就是台湾总统，直接谈军售，至少表明他敢于突破禁区，挑战中共领导人的脆弱神经。现实是，赖清德总统就任以来没有改变台湾的政策，没有推动任何台独议程，完全是维持现状。

台独是中共强加的，迫切要改变台海现状的是中共，不是台湾。川普说“我和所有人谈”，应当是安抚中共的意思。

当然最后他还提到“我们会处理那个，台湾麻烦”。这里说的是“Taiwan problem”。现在不清楚这个Problem指的是什么，很可能就是北京抗议军售，所以是个麻烦。

但无论川普会和赖总统谈什么，谈军售或芯片，直接谈本身的意义就比一次军售更重要。

2009年7月14日，一艘装载着法国航空447航班残骸的货船抵达法国波亚克。此前的6月1日，空中巴士A330客机从里约热内卢飞巴黎途中坠入大西洋，机上228人全部遇难。(Pierre Andrieu/AFP)【大纪元2026年05月21日讯】（大纪元记者李言综合报导）2009年一架从里约热内卢飞往巴黎的客机坠毁，造成228名乘客和机组人员遇难。巴黎一家上诉法院周三（5月20日）裁定，飞机制造商空中巴士（Airbus，简称空客）与航空公司法国航空（Air France）在此次事件中犯有公司过失杀人罪。

此次事件是法国历史上最严重空难，引发一场长达17年的法律马拉松。这场官司涉及两家法国最具代表性的行业巨头，以及主要来自法国、巴西和德国的遇难者家属。

周三，部分遇难乘客和机组人员的亲属聚集在一起聆听判决。当年，这架空中巴士A330客机（AF447航班）在大西洋的一场风暴中于夜色中失速并坠入大海，导致来自33个国家的机上人员全部遇难。飞机当时是从38,000英尺（约合11,580米）的高空坠落。

此前，一家下级法院曾于2023年4月宣判这两家公司无罪，但在这次上诉审判后，它们被裁定有罪。

经过漫长的深海搜寻，失事飞机的残骸与黑匣子在两年后（2011年）被寻获。2012年，法国航空事故调查处（BEA）的坠机调查人员发现，由于客机机组人员错误处理了与感应器结冰相关的问题，导致飞机陷入失速状态，机翼下方的升力急剧下降。

然而，检察官将注意力集中在飞机制造商和航空公司内部涉嫌存在的失职行为上，包括飞行员培训不足，以及未能对早前发生的类似感应器故障事件进行有效跟进。

法院最终下令，两家公司必须各自支付过失杀人罪的最高限额罚款——每家公司22.5万欧元（约合261,720美元），这符合检察官在为期八周的审判中提出的请求。

这些最高限额的罚款仅相当于两家公司几分钟的营业收入，因此被广泛谴责为象征性惩罚。但遇难者家属团体表示，这项有罪判决表明他们多年的痛苦处境与抗争得到法律认可。

在去年11月的结案陈词中，副检察官批评这两家公司的行为“不可接受”，并指责它们在法庭上“胡言乱语、凭空捏造论据”。

空中巴士和法国航空此前均一再否认相关指控。法国法律专家认为，这两家公司很可能会进一步上诉至法国最高法院，这意味着整场诉讼程序可能还会再拖延数年。

《经济学人》（The Economist）最新分析文章认为，5月19日，俄罗斯总统普京抵达北京，在许多方面都像是在向中共求援。俄罗斯生产轰炸乌克兰城市的精确制导导弹和无人机，需要中共的微电子和半导体。中共还向俄罗斯提供大部分商用第一视角（FPV）无人机及其配套技术。

文章指出，中共虽也向乌克兰提供FPV无人机零部件，如摄像头、电机、变速器等，但几乎所有的组装工作都由乌克兰完成。乌克兰非常清楚，在中共眼中，俄罗斯永远最重要。

文章说，俄罗斯武器弹药工厂几乎完全依赖中国的数控机床。美国智库詹姆斯敦基金会（Jamestown Foundation）估计，俄罗斯约90%的机床进口来自中国。

另外，炮弹、坦克炮弹和导弹推进剂所需关键原料——硝化纤维素，俄罗斯也严重依赖中国进口。俄罗斯有少数几家炸药厂生产硝化纤维素，但产量远远不足以满足战时需求。最近，土耳其许多中间商虽也为俄罗斯提供一半硝化纤维素进口，但这些公司目前都受到严厉制裁。

西方官员指责，中共兵器工业集团直属企业中国北方工业有限公司（Norinco，旗下有两家子公司）还不断加大对俄罗斯的硝化纤维素出口。

中共坚称硝化纤维素是油漆和清漆所需的两用产品。据报为掩盖真相，俄罗斯四大火药厂都设有相关的民用子公司。西方官员指责，中共北方工业公司试图通过空壳公司和外国中间商来掩盖对俄出口活动。

文章指出，中共还在加大对俄罗斯出口硝化纤维素生产所需原料：棉浆和棉纤维素。此前，俄罗斯几乎所有棉浆都来自乌兹别克斯坦和哈萨克斯坦，欧盟去年和今年对两国相关企业开始新一轮制裁后，这一进口来源受到影响。

分析认为，中共不太可能减少对俄罗斯战争机器的支持，这是因为，中共不仅从中大发战争财，还从中换取俄罗斯廉价的石油和天然气。中共用“两用”这一说法，搞瞒天过海。

【大纪元2026年05月22日讯】（大纪元记者Brad Jones报导／张纯之编译）随着加州州长的选战升温，对早期投票的初步调查显示，在6月2日初选之前，共和党人已投出超过90.5万张选票。这与上一次（2022年）的州长选举相比，是一个巨大的增长。

根据政治数据公司（Political Data，PDI）5月16日发布的民调，共和党选民提交的选票占提前投票总数的37%，比4年前初选同期增加了11%；民主党提前投票的选民比例则下降了13%。

目前已提交的选票中，大多数（54%）提前投票者来自65岁及以上的选民，而18岁至34岁的选民占比仅约10%。

“真清晰政治”（Real Clear Politics）的民调平均值显示，共和党政治评论员史蒂夫・希尔顿（Steve Hilton）与民主党人、前美国卫生部部长哈维尔・贝塞拉（Xavier Becerra）的支持率基本持平，均约为20%；其后依次为民主党亿万富翁兼环保活动人士汤姆・斯泰尔（Tom Steyer），支持率为14%；以及河滨县警长查德・比安科（Chad Bianco），支持率13%。其余候选人支持率均低于10%。

希尔顿曾公开施压比安科退选，以避免分散共和党选票，确保至少有一名共和党候选人晋级大选。不过，在4月28日由CBS主办的电视辩论中，比安科表示，他与希尔顿都将出现在11月3日的选票上。

加州采取不分党派的初选制度，得票最高的两人将进入11月的大选。这意味着可能出现两名同一党派候选人同时晋级的情况。

民主党人备妥“防出局策略”另一方面，即将因任期限制卸任的加州州长纽森，近日在州预算简报会上告诉媒体，他有信心民主党候选人会出现在11月3日选票上。

纽森暗示，已准备好“紧急干预方案”（Break-the-glass），以防止民主党在不分党派的“丛林初选”（Jungle primary）中被淘汰出局。

他说：“我不认为事情会走到那一步，但确实存在某种需要‘紧急干预’的情况。很多人都非常清楚，如果民主党被排除在选票之外，局面会变成什么样子；而我们将尽一切努力，确保这种情况不会发生。”

民主党州长协会（Democratic Governors Association）近日寄出宣传邮件，将希尔顿塑造成来自共和党阵营的头号威胁，这可能促使比安科的支持者转向希尔顿，从而提高民主党候选人进入前两名的可能性。

比安科在X平台发文称：“如果民主党人不是害怕我，他们就不会花钱帮史蒂夫（即史蒂夫・希尔顿）。”

政治数据权威平台“加州目标书”（California Target Book）的研究主任、无党派政治分析师罗布・派尔斯（Rob Pyers）认为，民主党更希望与希尔顿对决。

派尔斯在X平台写道：“民主党州长协会真心希望共和党选民知道：希尔顿‘获得川普背书’且‘支持MAGA’，并且如果希尔顿与一位民主党候选人同时在加州初选中出线，情况会对他们（民主党）非常不利。”当位于圣地亚哥的保守派活动人士艾米・赖克特（Amy Reichert）问派尔斯，民主党寄出的宣传邮件是否只寄给共和党人、目的是帮助希尔顿进入前两名时，他表示：“看起来确实如此。”

派尔斯还回应，这些“攻击广告”包含“专门设计来吸引保守派初选选民的语言，并强调希尔顿获得了川普背书”。他表示，若出现两名民主党人在州长大选中对决，“将耗费数亿美元”，而民主党这些资金原本可以用在其它地方；“如果是民主党人对战共和党人，就不会那么花钱”。

比安科的回应比安科5月18日向《大纪元时报》发送短信表示，加州人在这次选举中的投票模式有所不同，因为他们厌倦了不诚实与腐败，“也彻底受够了政客为了自身利益操弄制度”。

他说：“过去当两名民主党人进入大选时，纽森从未说过一句话。如今（纽森）把腐败策略公然说出口，暴露他们再次操纵制度的计划，这正是导致人们改变投票模式的原因。”

腐败丑闻

贝塞拉在拜登政府期间担任卫生部长时，曾遭到批评人士指责，称其让移民儿童面临人口贩运风险，因为该部门一度失去对8.5万名移民儿童去向的掌握。

贝塞拉在2021年3月19日至2025年1月20日期间担任卫生部长期间，也曾因卷入一起腐败丑闻而受到审查。该案涉及他的前助理肖恩・麦克拉斯基（Sean McCluskie）。麦克拉斯基承认参与一项涉嫌从“休眠”竞选账户中抽取资金、为其妻子安排“挂名工作”的计划。

针对贝塞拉涉嫌违反州竞选财务法的这起投诉，目前仍未结案。由公平政治实践委员会（FPPC）提出的投诉，聚焦贝塞拉遗留在过去州总检察长竞选账户中的休眠资金，据称这些资金在他被任命为卫生部长数月后，仍被用来向其前顾问公司支付了数万美元。

纽森前幕僚长、政治顾问达娜・威廉森（Dana Williamson）也在该案中认罪，承认共谋实施银行诈骗与电信诈骗，提交虚假报税表，以及向联邦探员作出虚假陈述。

贝塞拉未被指控任何罪名，也未被指控任何与联邦调查相关的不当行为，他并多次否认知悉任何非法的竞选资金转移。

贝塞拉在处理COVID-19疫情方面也遭到批评。

然而，包括爱默生学院（Emerson）民调在内的一些最新调查显示，贝塞拉的支持度略微领先所有候选人；但另一些民调则显示，希尔顿处于领先地位。

4月，陷入性侵指控的前国会议员埃里克・斯瓦韦尔（Eric Swalwell）宣布退出州长选战；此后，贝塞拉在民主党选民中的支持率迅速上升。斯瓦韦尔约在一周后辞去国会职务，目前他仍接受调查，但尚未面临刑事指控。

官方初选选票共列出61名州长候选人（已退选的斯瓦威尔也在列），其中包括前加州主计长余淑婷（Betty Yee）。

竞选资金根据“透明美国”（Transparency USA）截至5月19日的资料，贝塞拉的竞选账目出现了330万美元赤字。他募得约630万美元捐款，但支出超过960万美元。他的竞选支出主要用于大量投放广告。

斯泰尔已募得约1.34亿美元捐款，支出约2.55亿美元。他有望超过前eBay高层梅格・惠特曼（Meg Whitman）创下的纪录；惠特曼在2010年竞选加州州长失败时，创下了1.59亿美元的支出纪录。斯泰尔目前正遭到FPPC调查，原因是有人指控他的竞选团队付费请社交媒体网红发布宣传影片，却未依法标示赞助内容。

希尔顿已募得约980万美元捐款，支出约890万美元。

比安科则募得约530万美元捐款，支出约420万美元。◇

經濟部日前攜手「台灣卓越無人機海外商機聯盟（TEDIBOA）」參加美國底特律XPONENTIAL無人機展。 圖：經濟部提供

全球無人機市場需求持續成長，經濟部21日表示，日前在美國底特律XPONENTIAL無人機展中，台灣館規模是史上最大，總計有130位產官研代表及25家業者參與，累計潛在商機約新台幣13億元。

經濟部表示，日前攜手「台灣卓越無人機海外商機聯盟（TEDIBOA）」參加美國底特律XPONENTIAL無人機展，創下歷年規模最大的代表團，同時也是規模最大的國家館，更與美國密西根無人機聯盟及北達科他州貿易廳簽署合作備忘錄，持續深化台美無人機產業鏈結。

現正最夯：川普稱將打電話給賴清德溝通! 中國氣極敗壞回應了……

經濟部21日指出，此次的台灣館吸引了來自美國、歐洲、日本、韓國及東南亞等國際業者交流洽談，合作項目涵蓋光學模組、熱影像及整機系統等領域，累計潛在商機約13億元。展會期間，並與美國密西根無人機聯盟及北達科他州貿易廳簽署合作備忘錄，推動自主飛行、城市空中交通、邊緣運算及視距外飛行測試等合作，持續深化台美無人機產業鏈結，協助台灣業者拓展國際市場。

經濟部產業發展署說明，全球無人機市場需求持續成長，2025年我國無人機整體產值達新台幣129億元，較2024年成長超過2.5倍；整機外銷產值亦由1.4億元提升至29.5億元，成長約21倍，展現產業發展動能。2026年第一季的外銷金額甚至超過去年全年的外銷金額，可以說是成長潛力十分令人期待。

產發署進一步表示，台灣無人機能有這樣的成績，是近年來業者憑藉資通訊、精密製造及彈性生產優勢，搭配政府政策的支持，逐步建立整機及關鍵零組件供應能量，如經濟部2024年至2025年間已透過產創平台研發補助通過31案，協助業者投入整機、飛導控、通訊、酬載及AI自主辨識等關鍵技術開發。

當前熱搜：見不到一周 習就跟川普翻臉! 中俄聯合聲明全文曝 重批美「這3項」 還提台灣…..

國內業者除已取得國防部軍用商規無人機量產資格，並成功拓展歐美日等國際市場外，亦有業者成為亞洲首家取得美國Blue UAS認證之無人機廠商，正式切入美國國防供應鏈，顯示台灣無人機產業在技術實力、供應鏈整合及國際市場布局方面，已具備相當競爭力與發展動能。

針對媒體報導，經濟部產發署和中科院補助經費似有重複一節，產發署指出，國防採購搭配研發補助是軍工產業的發展模式，就國內尚未成熟的產品，於國防採購單位提出性能及功能需求後，國內業者可向經濟部申請研發補助，以建立自主的國防供應鏈。產發署支持研發，國防部則編列預算採購，彼此之間分工明確，絕對沒有重複補助。

經濟部強調，面對全球無人機市場快速成長及民主供應鏈重組趨勢，台灣將持續結合資通訊、精密機械及半導體等產業優勢，強化關鍵技術自主化、國際驗證及供應鏈整合能量，並透過與美、歐、日等理念相近國家深化合作，協助國內業者拓展全球市場，逐步打造台灣成為全球無人機非紅供應鏈重要夥伴。

前總統馬英九和前幕僚蕭旭岑、王光慈決裂，馬英九基金會日前成立調查小組，調查蕭旭岑、王光慈違反財政紀律，引起社會關注，馬家人上週已提出相關法律動作，馬英九大姊馬以南21日罕見發出聲明表示，感謝過去與馬英九共事的幕僚，馬家人永遠感念他們的付出。蕭旭岑回應，感謝馬大姊，馬英九基金會應給當事人說明澄清的機會，還他與同事清白。

馬以南在聲明中提及，家人希望馬英九能真正退休，安享餘年，基金會事務全數交由董事會處理。對於現在與過去所有與馬英九結緣共事的同仁和幕僚，馬家人永遠感念他們誠摯盡心的付出。對此，蕭旭岑中，感謝馬大姊提到感謝過去所有的幕僚，包括他與王光慈的付出。

現正最夯：川普稱將打電話給賴清德溝通! 中國氣極敗壞回應了……

蕭旭岑也呼籲，任何涉及個人清白操守的指控，理應給當事人說明澄清的機會，尤其是追隨多年的幕僚，相信過去一向知法守法又很重視人情義理的馬英九應該會給幕僚說明的機會。他清清白白，白布不能染黑，所有的事情都經得起檢驗，希望調查小組盡快公布報告，還他與同事清白。

馬英九基金會發出新聞稿指出，21日召開董事會，在場出席的董事有馬英九及董事高華柱2位，調查小組成員並未出席，出席董事因未達法定人數而流會。出席的會計師再次強調，針對基金會內部調查事證中，出現來源不明的所謂「台商捐款」，確無入帳紀錄，調查小組應該約詢他，以釐清事實真相。

馬英九在會中控訴，調查小組自3月27日成立至今已近2個月，他曾多次透過馬英九基金會執行長戴遐齡催促調查小組對人證和涉嫌的物證資料進行深入調查。因為這關乎到他個人一生最重視的清廉操守，基金會成立是為了公益，不是他個人的基金會，董事長和所有員工都不能做出違反基金會成立目的的事，因為「清廉」是做人做事最基本的原則。

現正最夯：見不到一周 習就跟川普翻臉! 中俄聯合聲明全文曝 重批美「這3項」 還提台灣…..

馬英九更直言，調查工作不應該以各種理由與藉口刻意拖延，應該盡速完成。但調查小組發言人李德維5月20日在媒體上以不符事實的藉口，推翻了對他的承諾，拒絕5月21日出席董事會。同時也拒絕他提出寬延至5月27日提出調查報告的要求，他對此感到非常遺憾。

馬英九宣布，他將委託戴遐齡、基金會委任的律師、會計師及前國安會秘書長金溥聰，盡快召開記者會，詳細說明事件的前後始末及事實。調查小組則反批馬英九基金會「完全沒有詢問當事人的說法」、「以馬英九之名，一而再再而三發表聲明，並干擾調查進度，極為不妥。」

為了賴清德總統的「三三三諾貝爾計畫」，教育部召集台大、清大、陽明交大、成大等四校，盼整合學校和中研院資源，研議設置台灣高等研究學院（TAAS），鎖定高中科學班或奧林匹亞國手為招生對象。不過中研院長廖俊智直言，希望是用另外的經費支援台灣高等研究學院，否則會有負面效果。

根據教育部規畫，TAAS以數學、物理、化學、生物、地球科學等五個專長領域做分組，各校依優勢領域招生，採自辦招生，分兩階段甄選，第一階段為筆試，學生須參加指定考科以及科學知能檢測，通過者方能進入第二階段書面審查與科研甄選營，由中研院與TAAS審查委員評分。學生錄取報到，則不得再參加當學年多元入學。

教育部強調，希望給予學生「正加強」，儘管沒有人能確定學生最後真的會走向、走完基礎科學研究，但至少在其人生最聰明與最有創意的階段沒有放棄，且曾經接觸到相關資源，即便到了研究所，想轉向工程領域也無妨。

立委羅廷瑋昨於立院教委會質詢時則提到，台灣高等研究學院是教育部的構想，結合中研院既有政策、盤點避免資源重疊有其必要性。但也擔心，原本散落各個機關的基礎研究經費，可能會被高等研究學院吸走，或是高度集中於此一學院。

廖俊智坦承，只看到新聞，不了解也無法評論，但認為經費配置需要仔細研究。他希望是用另外的經費支援台灣高等研究學院，而不是挪用現有的經費，否則會有負面效果。
