The Supreme Court yesterday upheld a two-year, eight-month prison sentence for former independent legislative candidate Ma Chih-wei (馬治薇) for accepting funding from China during her 2024 election campaign.

The ruling cannot be appealed.

Prosecutors had been notified to take measures to prevent Ma from leaving Taiwan, the court said.

Ma received about NT$1.05 million (US$32,542) in cash and cryptocurrency from two China-based contacts, known as “Bing-jie” (冰姐) and “A-hao” (阿浩), prosecutors said.

The money was used to fund her campaign for a legislative seat in Taoyuan in the January 2024 elections, they said.

In return, Ma provided the pair with business cards belonging to national security personnel and a directory of liaison officers between the central government and the Legislative Yuan, prosecutors said.

Ma supplied the information to maintain the contacts’ trust and secure further financial support, the prosecutors added.

Ma was indicted for contravening the Anti-Infiltration Act (反滲透法), the Personal Data Protection Act (個人資料保護法) and the National Security Act (國家安全法).

The Taoyuan District Court initially found her guilty of only illegally collecting and using personal data, and sentenced her to eight months in prison.

Prosecutors had failed to prove that the two contacts represented a hostile foreign force or an organization acting on its behalf, the district court said.

The High Court overturned part of the lower court ruling, finding Ma guilty of accepting election funding from an organization effectively controlled by China, and of illegally collecting and using personal data.

It sentenced her to two years and eight months in prison.

The High Court described Ma as a “local collaborator” who helped a hostile foreign force interfere in Taiwanese elections.

Ma appealed, but the Supreme Court dismissed the appeal yesterday.

HUGE IMPACT: ‘The ruling would have a tremendous impact on investigations of national security cases in the future,’ MAC Deputy Minister Liang Wen-chieh said

Chinese immigrant Zhou Manzhi (周滿芝) would soon have her status as a Taiwanese resident revoked after her conviction for contravening the National Security Act (國安法) became final on Wednesday, the Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) said yesterday.

Zhou, who became a Taiwanese resident through marriage in 2003, was in January sentenced by the Kaohsiung branch of the High Court to eight years in prison for creating immigrant associations sponsored by Chinese “united front” groups and promoting China’s “one country, two systems” agenda.

The court overturned its previous acquittal after the Supreme Court remanded the case for retrial.

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court dismissed Zhou’s appeal, making the judgement final.

“The ruling would have a tremendous impact on investigations of national security cases in the future,” MAC Deputy Minister Liang Wen-chieh (梁文傑) said. “Prosecutors pressed charges against many similar cases in the past after years of investigations, only to be later dismissed by the court. The people often find it difficult to accept grounds for dismissal.”

The Supreme Court accepted the High Court’s argument that many registered private groups in China are practically controlled by the Chinese government, Liang said.

The ruling would provide a major boost to prosecutors and investigators handling national security cases and help reverse years of overly lenient enforcement, Liang said.

Zhou’s residency status would also be revoked in accordance with the Act Governing Relations Between the People of the Taiwan Area and the Mainland Area (臺灣地區與大陸地區人民關係條例), he added.

As for Chinese motorcycle manufacturer ZXMOTO’s (張雪機車) plan to open retail stores in Taiwan, Liang said that the policy of restricting the import of Chinese motor vehicles and auto parts has been implemented for years by the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) governments.

Chinese businesses planning to invest in Taiwan would be subject to stricter review, he said.

ZXMOTO’s ultimate parent company is part of Zhejiang Province’s state-owned enterprise system and is indirectly owned by entities including the Zhejiang Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, Liang said.

If the company seeks to invest and establish operations in Taiwan, its investment proposal would be subject to the review mechanism for investments by enterprises controlled by the Chinese Communist Party, the Chinese government or the Chinese military, Liang said.

“It is not that long-standing policy can never be changed. However, any policy adjustment must first go through the required administrative procedures, including consultations with industry representatives and a government assessment of its impact on domestic manufacturers,” he said.

Liang also explained why the council approved Zhejiang-based Loong Air’s (長龍航空) launch of Taichung-Chengdu flights next week.

“Taichung and Chengdu are designated airports for cross-strait flights. The number of weekly flights it would offer remains within the flight allocation under the cross-strait air traffic rights agreement. The airline has secured the permission to launch flights as well,” Liang said.

The airline is not likely to increase flights, as China has used up the cross-strait flights allocated by Taiwan, he added.

Separately, the Maritime and Port Bureau issued navigation warnings after China announced that it is to conduct live-fire exercises in two areas of the Taiwan Strait for a second consecutive day.

China’s Maritime Safety Administration said the exercises would take place from 6am to 6pm yesterday and today in waters off Dongshan Island in China’s Fujian Province.

The exercise zones are about 57.6 nautical miles (106.68km) from Kinmen County, 103 nautical miles from Penghu County and 55.8 nautical miles west of the median line of the Taiwan Strait, the bureau said.

It said the drills are not expected to affect vessels navigating Taiwan’s waters, adding that operations at Taiwan’s commercial ports remain normal.

Legislative Speaker Han Kuo-yu (韓國瑜) has pledged to facilitate cross-caucus negotiations to confirm new Control Yuan members before the current members’ terms expire at the end of this month, Presidential Office Secretary-General Pan Men-an (潘孟安) said yesterday.

Accompanying the nominees to speak with Han yesterday, Pan said that despite differing opinions on the abolition of the Control Yuan, the Constitution supports the system of separating the five powers.

Constitutional bodies should continue operating before any amendments to the Constitution, Pan added.

Pan and the nominees would, after visiting the Legislative Yuan, also visit the caucuses of the major parties to elicit support, he said.

The government hopes that the confirmation process would be completed as soon as possible so that the nominees can start their jobs, Pan added.

Citing the Additional Articles of the Constitution (中華民國憲法增修條文), Pan said that Control Yuan members exercise their powers independently and are not affected by political party affiliation.

There is no political party representation issue in the body, he said.

Pan commented on reports that the president’s nominees were mostly Democratic Progressive Party supporters who also back Taiwanese independence.

The Presidential Office had issued invitations to 328 members, and the list has been reduced to 29 members.

It is customary for all Control Yuan, Grand Justice and Examination Yuan member nominees to visit the Legislative Yuan, Pan said.

Han has promised to facilitate cross-caucus negotiations on the issue, Pan said, adding that hopefully the deliberations would be completed before next month.

The Constitution states that the Control Yuan should be staffed by 29 members.

One of the 29 members would serve as the president and another as the vice president, for six years, it says.

All members should be nominated by the president and confirmed by the Legislative Yuan.

Incumbent Control Yuan members would see their terms expire on Friday next week, and, per regulation, new Control Yuan members should assume their posts by Aug. 1.

title: Industry urges passing of drone budget

STABILITY: The sector is in need of steady and consistent investment across the entire supply chain, with large projects that can anchor research and development

Industry leaders and security researchers yesterday urged lawmakers to pass the government’s special budget for drones a day after the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) caucus said it would freeze the budget for the Executive Yuan’s drone industry plan rather than scrapping it.

If the budget is not passed, Taiwan could miss the window to obtain key military capabilities, they added.

They made the remarks at a public meeting of the Legislative Yuan’s Economics Committee.

Taiwan Aerospace Corp acting general manager Lu Yi-hsuan (呂宜諠) said that creating an indigenous uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) sector requires sustained investment across the entire supply chain, not funding for specific projects.

The Executive Yuan’s version of the drone bill, which offers fixed-sum subsidies and the prospect of high-volume government orders, provides the certainty enterprises need to invest in new technology, she said.

Businesses want stable, long-term profits, she said, adding that they do not want to worry about unforeseen budget cuts or suspensions every year.

The industry is ready to help plug the gaps in Taiwan’s military capabilities so long as the government can place orders large enough to anchor research and development costs, Lu said.

Taiwan’s UAV industry grew 100-fold in the past two years and is on the verge of becoming a major supplier to the world’s democracies, she said, adding that now is the time for the government to commit.

National Taiwan University mechanical engineering professor Chen Bing-huei (陳炳輝) said Ukrainian UAV start-ups have expressed willingness to share their knowledge so that Taiwan would not need to trade lives for experience.

Taiwan is a manufacturer of critical components including chips, motor systems and sensors, and offers Ukraine and other European countries a viable alternative to buying from China, he said.

The suspension or slashing of drone budgets being touted by certain corners in the legislature would undermine the effort to supply Ukraine with drone components and Taiwan’s access the nation’s vast experience, he said.

CSBC Corp Taiwan chairman Chen Cheng-hung (陳政宏) said funding projects through the Ministry of National Defense is crucial, as civilian ships and submarines cannot be tested in certain maritime areas and depths.

Research into defense submarines is not possible under the current legal regime if funding came from non-military sources, he said.

The KMT caucus on Wednesday vowed to freeze the Executive Yuan’s NT$44.2 billion (US$1.37 billion) drone industry plan this year, after having vowed previously to scrap it.

The Cabinet in October last year approved the program to support domestic UAV production over the next six years.

The KMT said it would instead propose freezing this year’s budget to properly vet public spending, adding that the Cabinet should follow standard legal procedures and cooperate with the legislature’s review process.

The party said its NT$240 billion drone bill is six times the amount of the Cabinet’s proposal, showing its support for the drone industry.

Cabinet spokeswoman Michelle Lee (李慧芝) said delaying the budget until the next legislative session would undermine efforts to create non-Chinese supply chains.

A new committee established yesterday aims to promote legal reforms, provide cross-ministry liaisons and improve early preventive measures to create a well-rounded youth mental health safety net.

The Children and Adolescent Mental Health Committee established under the Legislative Yuan’s Health, Welfare and Environment Caucus is to be chaired by National Taiwan University deputy dean Gau Shur-fen (高淑芬).

Citing national surveys, Gau said that the lifetime prevalence for psychiatric disorders among children and adolescents stands at 31.6 percent, while the figures for autism are 1 percent, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) 8.7 percent, depression 1.7 percent and those entertaining the thought of suicide 8.2 percent.

The committee hopes to help students by introducing educational reforms instead of restricting their Internet use, Gau said, adding that the committee aims to provide support for teachers, social workers and medical staff.

Emergency medicine capacity for youth psychiatric issues is underwhelming, while there is a gap between patient referral and follow-ups for junior-high and senior-high students who need consultation and medical attention, the caucus said.

The new committee hopes to address the shortcomings and provide suggestions on how youth mental health policies can be improved, increase access to mental health and preventive resources, and help liaise between ministries.

Caucus head and Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Legislator Cheng Ching-hui (陳菁徽) cited a 2023 survey which found that one-fifth of children and adolescents experience moderate emotional distress, one-10th once entertained thoughts of suicide and one-quarter said they had moderate insomnia.

More than half of junior-high students use social media every day, Chen said, adding that use of social media has increased instances of cyberbullying.

Depression, increased rates of attempted suicide, academic pressures, social media, family expectations and an increasingly digital environment are all aspects that affect children and adolescent mental health and raise the urgency of creating a safety net, deputy caucus head and Democratic Progressive Party Legislator Wang Cheng-hsu (王正旭) said.

KMT Legislator Liao Wei-hsiang (廖偉翔) said a shortage of doctors and legal shortcomings make it difficult to address increasing demand to treat children and adolescent mental health issues.

GREEN EFFORTS:  Discussions included a plan for schools to dedicate one hour to climate change info, and reports on food production and power development

Continued development of offshore wind power facilities would focus on talent development and environmental assessments, ensuring that Taiwan’s transition to green energy promotes sustainability and local growth, President William Lai (賴清德) said yesterday at a meeting of the National Climate Change Response Committee.

Last month saw the second-highest month-long average temperature, and the El Nino effect is expected to bring extreme weather patterns until September, Lai said.

Taiwan must be self-reliant in food provision and energy generation, he said, adding that disaster prevention and public health are also key capabilities that Taiwan must retain.

The government must provide clear information, timely forewarnings and actionable guidelines in events such as natural disasters, Lai said.

It must also provide channels that allows governments of all levels, schools, communities, corporations and the public to participate in the urban forest initiative, Lai added.

Taiwan is highly reliant on imported energy, which makes it vulnerable to international energy price fluctuations and extreme climates, Lai said.

This makes it imperative for the nation to expand its local low-carbon energy sources, ensure its power grid is resilient, increase energy storage capacity and improve the ability to transfer energy across the grid, the president said.

Taiwan installed 508 offshore wind turbines this month, bringing wind-generated power to 4.9 gigawatt-hours, or more than 10 billion kilowatt-hours over the year, making Taiwan fifth in the world in terms of wind power generation, Lai said.

In its bid to ensure a stable power grid, Taiwan must also conserve its forests, farmland, rivers, wetlands, coast and its maritime resources, all of which form natural barriers against extreme climate and bolster Taiwan’s ability to produce its own food, the president said.

Government policies for agricultural production and anti-anomalous land planning should take into consideration the need for scientific monitoring of its natural resources and natural conservation, Lai said.

The Ministry of Environment at the meeting highlighted efforts to make the public more risk-conscious.

Under a proposed national environment education plan for 2028 to 2031, schools would dedicate one hour of the mandated four annual hours of environmental education specifically to updated climate change information, Minister of Environment Peng Chi-ming (彭啟明) said.

First, the curricula would emphasize health-centric climate action, using public health benefits as a core driver to enhance public support, he said.

Second, it would prioritize a “nature-positive” approach, which includes balancing food, water resources and climate goals, and incorporate nature’s value into economic decisionmaking, Peng said.

Third, it would promote a circular economy to resolve pollution, focusing on prevention at the source, he said.

Lastly, it would aim to deepen public-private partnerships to ensure that environmental education is implemented in daily life, he added.

The ministry is to draft the guidelines and submit them to the Executive Yuan for approval, Peng said.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ocean Affairs Council jointly reported on measures to increase food production and national resilience.

The Ministry of Economic Affairs also issued a report on potential power development policies and its plans for continued green energy development, power grid integration and industry supply chains development.

The Supreme Court yesterday upheld the guilty verdict for two sisters who caused the death of an infant boy under their care, sentencing one to life in prison and the handing the other 18 years.

The ruling cannot be appealed.

Babysitters Liu Tsai-hsuan (劉彩萱) and Liu Jo-lin (劉若琳) had abused an 18-month-old boy, nicknamed “Kai Kai” (凱凱), to death from Sept. 1 to Dec. 23, 2023, the court said.

Liu Jo-lin had repeatedly struck the child with her hands and blunt objects, the verdict said.

The sisters also tied and blindfolded the child, and denied him proper nutrition, it added.

Liu Tsai-hsuan shared photos of the abuse with Liu Jo-lin, and the two exchanged running commentaries on their assaults on the victim, using degrading language, the verdict said.

Despite the child’s evidently poor health and many injuries, he was denied medical care until the evening of Dec. 23, 2023, when his condition became critical, it said.

The boy died of hypovolemic shock in the hospital a night after being admitted, the verdict said.

Doctors identified at least 42 abuse-related injuries and signs of malnutrition, it added.

The Taipei District Court at the first trial convicted Liu Tsai-hsuan as the main culprit and sentenced her to life in prison, while Liu Jo-lin received a lesser sentence, the verdict said.

The citizen judges assigned to the case had condemned Liu Tsai-hsuan for “taking pleasure in cruelty,” it said.

The High Court at the second trial said that the defendants, as professional babysitters, should have cared for the victim, but instead used him as an object to vent their anger on, the verdict said.

The Liu sisters subjected a helpless child in their care to inhumane treatment, causing anguish and terror that would have been intolerable to adults, the Supreme Court said, adding that it saw no reason to reverse the judgements of the lower courts and meted out punishments proportionate to the crimes.

A suspected benzopyrene contamination case involving camellia oil produced by New Taipei City-based Aconpure Green Technology Inc (連淨綠色科技), is not related to the Central Union Oil Corp (中聯油脂) cooking oil scandal, Minister of Health and Welfare Shih Chung-liang (石崇良) said yesterday.

The two cases involved different raw materials, Shih said, adding that Aconpure has notified downstream businesses to remove and recall the affected products.

The investigation is ongoing, he said.

His comments came after the New Taipei City Department of Health on Wednesday said it had been notified by Aconpure the previous day that a batch of its camellia oil had been found to contain 2.9 micrograms per kilogram of benzopyrene, exceeding the legal limit of 2 micrograms per kilogram.

A total of 5,024 bottles of the affected camellia oil were produced, of which 939 bottles had been sold, it said, adding that the remaining products did not enter the market and were sealed for storage.

The department and the Food and Drug Administration conducted an on-site inspection, and the latter collected five camellia oil samples, it said.

Follow-up action would be taken in accordance with the law, it added.

The department reminded food businesses that if products are found to pose potential health and safety risks, sales must be immediately suspended.

Businesses should initiate recalls and notify local health authorities, the department said, adding that failure to do so might result in fines of NT$30,000 to NT$3 million (US$929.77 to US$92,977).

Meanwhile, Taichung prosecutors yesterday sought to detain a Central Union factory manager while releasing two suspects on bail following a second round of searches related to the company’s oil contamination case.

The searches were carried out on Wednesday after investigators reviewed evidence seized during searches on July 9, the Taichung District Prosecutors’ Office said.

Prosecutors searched locations linked to three suspects, including the factory manager, surnamed Chen (陳), as they sought to determine how Central Union responded to irregularities in its raw materials, production process and products.

The office did not disclose the identities of the other two suspects.

Prosecutors questioned nine other Central Union employees involved in oil production and quality control, it said, adding that electronic devices and company records, including production and sales documents, were seized as they sought to trace the source, production and distribution of the contaminated oil.

Prosecutors said they wanted Chen detained and held incommunicado, as they believe he might destroy evidence or collude with witnesses or other suspects.

The other two suspects were released on NT$1 million bail each.

title: Cabinet proposes tougher food safety regulations

content_text:
The Cabinet yesterday proposed revisions that would require large food manufacturers to notify authorities of anomalies detected in product inspections within 24 hours of discovering or being informed of them, or face fines of up to NT$30 million (US$929,771).

Taiwan has been rocked by a food safety scandal involving Central Union Oil Corp’s (中聯油脂) soy-based cooking oil, which were found to contain four times the legal limit of the carcinogen benzopyrene. It had manufactured 1,300 tonnes of the oil and supplied it to major food processors between April and last month. The companies then sold a range of products containing the tainted oil to smaller food processors and restaurants.

Central Union learned of the irregularities on June 10, but did not notify authorities until June 30, Minister of Health and Welfare Shih Chung-liang (石崇良) said earlier this month.

As of press time last night, more than 1,300 businesses had been affected by the tainted oil, and more than 500 products had been pulled from shelves.

Under revisions proposed to the Act Governing Food Safety and Sanitation (食品安全衛生管理法), food companies above a certain size and in designated categories would be required to regularly submit ingredients, semi-finished products and finished products to certified inspection facilities.

If abnormalities are discovered during those inspections or mandatory self-inspections, the companies would be required to report them to local authorities within 24 hours or face fines of NT$30,000 to NT$30 million, the proposal states.

Local authorities would then be required to report the incident to the central government if the noncompliant products could affect other jurisdictions, it adds.

Food manufacturers that fail to submit required samples for inspection or do not cover all required categories in their self-inspections would face fines ranging from NT$30,000 to NT$3 million, the proposal states.

Local governments would also have the authority to conduct unannounced inspections and collect samples at any stage of the process, from manufacturing and storage to packaging and vending facilities, it states.


title: Chunghwa Post announces changes for US-bound mail

content_text:
Starting today, people sending packages to the US must pay tariffs based on the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, instead of a flat 10 percent of the product’s value, as well as an additional US$2 handling fee, Chunghwa Post said yesterday.

US Customs and Border Protection has revised procedures of processing inbound international mail and packages to curb undervaluation, tariff evasion and illegal imports, the postal firm announced on its Web site, adding that the changes include a new method for calculating import duties.

Under the new rules, senders of parcels containing goods valued at US$2,500 or less must prepay all applicable duties and fees at the time of mailing before the items can proceed through customs clearance and be delivered, it said.

A Chunghwa Post sign is pictured on May 25. Photo: Huang Yi-ching, Taipei Times

For goods valued at more than US$2,500, recipients in the US must complete formal customs clearance procedures, it added.

Previously, the threshold determining whether duties were paid by the sender or recipient was US$800.

Import duties would also no longer be calculated as 10 percent of the declared value of the goods, but would instead be based on the product’s 10-digit Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the US (HTSUS) code, country of origin, declared value, quantity and weight, with the applicable tariff rate determined under US customs regulations, it said.

Chunghwa Post said its customs brokerage partner would collect a service fee for handling duty payments on behalf of senders.

Under the revised procedures, merchandise mail would be subject to a US$2 import processing fee, regardless of whether import duties are assessed, it said.

The new system would not necessarily result in higher charges, as the total amount payable would depend on the type of goods, their HTSUS code, country of origin and the tariff rate applied by US customs, Chunghwa Post said.

It reminded customers to provide an accurate description of the package’s contents, country of origin, declared value, quantity and weight in English when preparing shipping labels.

Senders may enter the HTSUS code themselves, it said, adding that if they do not, the EZPost system would determine the appropriate code based on the information provided and display it on the shipping label.

The system would calculate the estimated duties and fees based on the declared information, Chunghwa Post said.

All charges are in US dollars and would converted into New Taiwan dollars using the previous business day’s closing spot selling exchange rate published by the Bank of Taiwan, it said.

The duties and fees must be paid together with postage when the parcel is mailed, it added.

The final amount of import duties and fees is subject to review by US Customs and Border Protection, Chunghwa Post said.

Incomplete, inaccurate or false declarations could result in additional charges, customs clearance delays or the return of the parcel, for which the sender would bear full responsibility, it said.

Power use rises amid AI activity, keeps index ‘red’

GREEN POWER SHIFT: Semiconductor and steel demand stayed strong, while renewable purchases made Taipower sales a weaker gauge of factory activity

Taiwan’s industrial electricity consumption rose again last month, reinforcing signs of solid artificial intelligence (AI)-driven economic activity even as sales by state-owned utility Taiwan Power Co (Taipower, 台電) declined, Taiwan Research Institute (TRI, 台灣綜合研究院) said yesterday.

The institute-compiled Electricity Prosperity Index remained in the “red,” indicating “booming” activity, for the 15th consecutive month last month after high-voltage industrial electricity consumption increased 0.58 percent from a year earlier, it said.

The institute uses a five-color system to gauge Taiwan’s power consumption and economic activity, with “red” indicating “booming,” “yellow-red” signaling warming, “green” representing stable growth, “yellow-blue” signifying a sluggish economy and “blue” implying an economic contraction.

The increase came despite a 2.25 percent decline in Taipower’s high-voltage electricity sales, with sales to manufacturers falling 2.56 percent and those to the service sector slipping 0.76 percent, the institute said.

TRI attributed the divergence to growing corporate purchases of renewable energy as companies increase the share of green power in their energy mix.

As a result, Taipower’s electricity sales no longer fully reflect actual industrial power demand, the institute said.

The semiconductor sector remained the largest consumer of electricity, with power usage rising 8 percent from a year earlier, supported by sustained demand for advanced chip manufacturing, advanced packaging technologies and high-performance computing chips, the institute said.

Electricity consumption in the computer, electronics and optical products sector increased 3.46 percent, driven by robust production of AI servers and networking equipment amid continued investment in AI infrastructure, it said.

The steel industry also benefited from AI-related demand, with electricity consumption climbing 10.18 percent as orders for AI servers, power equipment and public infrastructure projects supported production, it said.

By contrast, most traditional industries continued to face headwinds, the institute said.

While electricity consumption in the machinery and equipment sector edged up 0.05 percent, the chemical materials industry recorded a 9.24 percent decline amid persistent global oversupply and expanded production capacity abroad, it said.

Power consumption in the textile industry also fell 11.46 percent as weak end-market demand and intensifying competition from low-priced Chinese products weighed on output, it said.

Rising electricity consumption among semiconductor manufacturers and resilient export orders suggest that AI-related industries would remain the key engine of Taiwan’s economy, the institute said.

It estimated that Taiwan’s economy expanded 11.1 percent last month and projected second-quarter GDP growth of 11.3 percent.

As AI technologies mature and gain wider adoption, they are expected to accelerate supply-chain upgrades, enhance the competitiveness of Taiwan’s semiconductor sector and sustain economic growth, it said.


title: Fund managers want Taiwan to lift mobile phone ban

content_text:
When fund managers in Taiwan arrive at work each morning, they must lock away their mobile phones before the stock and bond markets open, and cannot retrieve their devices until the end of the trading day.

The strict rules have been in place for about two years, and some investment firms are pushing for change.

The Securities Investment Trust and Consulting Association is studying a proposal to let portfolio managers use cellphones during Taiwan’s trading hours from 9am to 1:30 pm, people familiar with the matter said.

A person looks at their mobile phone in front of an electronic stock board in Taipei on Feb. 9. Photo: CNA

The rule on mobile phones was formalized in 2024 to guard against insider trading and to prevent people privy to market-moving information to use that to trade in personal or nominee accounts. That year, six former fund managers from four investment firms were indicted for front running trades using accounts held by relatives and friends.

The restriction applies only to buy-side asset managers. Banks, brokerages and insurers are not officially bound by the same ban.

However, it has created inconveniences, including cases where people could not be reached for emergency personal matters, the people said.

The issue has emerged as a top priority among Taiwan’s asset managers, some of which believe it is hurting their ability to retain talent, they said.

The Financial Supervisory Commission has asked the industry group to propose supplementary measures for internal controls if phones were allowed on the trading floor, one of the people said.

The association is collecting opinions from asset management firms.

One suggestion is to let fund managers use company-issued mobile phones during trading hours, as the devices would enable firms to monitor calls and messages, the people said.

At the end of last month a group of Chinese academics convened in Guangzhou and “discovered” that the Philippines’ Batanes Islands belong to China. The islands, home to some 19,000 Filipinos and strung across the Luzon Strait between Taiwan and the northern Philippines, are a natural geographical extension of Taiwan, and therefore, by the transitive property of appetite, Chinese, the said. This was less a study than a confession, an admission that Beijing’s method is to manufacture the history first and the rights afterward.

The confession has been partially unpublished. Late last week Jinan University quietly deleted the report from its Web site. No retraction, no correction, no explanation — just a gap where the document used to be. In some quarters this was read as a Chinese climbdown. It is nothing of the sort.

Stanford University’s SeaLight project, which tracks Chinese “gray zone” activity, says that the identical text remains live on at least three state-affiliated platforms, among them the Global Times, the Guangdong outlet GDToday and the National Institute for South China Sea Studies. The academics’ operative recommendation that China should assert sovereignty over Batanes and that its coast guard should intensify patrols and scale up military countermeasures at opportune moments still sits there in plain language. What vanished was a university masthead. What stayed was the demand.

The claim is floated through academics so that China’s foreign ministry can pass it off as the views of the academic community, which is exactly the phrase Beijing reached for when asked. The label is a deniability device, not a description. The findings were published by a media group owned and run by the Guangdong provincial committee of the Chinese Communist Party, and within days the state tabloid Global Times had endorsed the substance in its own voice, calling for corresponding actions and heavier patrols. A government does not disclaim the views of its academics and simultaneously print those views as policy guidance unless the academy and the state are the same instrument wearing two hats.

Then there is the question of what the report was for. Chinese coast guard vessels began operating east of Batanes on June 1, inside the Philippine exclusive economic zone. Beijing can neither embrace nor bury the claim. To embrace it is to formally claim inhabited Philippine territory, which it is not yet ready to do. To bury it is to surrender the pretext for intrusions it is already committing. So it does the third thing, the salami-slicer’s move, scrubbing the most embarrassing copy, keeping the useful ones, and leaving the vessels on station while the outrage cools.

The Philippine officials who answered understood the mechanism better than the people who wrote the relief headlines. Their military spokesman named it “salami-slicing” in the information domain and warned that in an autocratic state nothing happens in isolation, that an unofficial claim left unchallenged has a habit of ripening into an official one. Their foreign department refused, in a good phrase, to let manufactured history become manufactured rights.

The armed forces went further and demanded that Beijing publicly reject the claim, on the sound theory that silence is how these things are ratified. Beijing has said nothing, because saying nothing is the plan.

The withdrawal of the report offers no relief and settles nothing. The signature was erased and the document survives, on a state letterhead, alongside the patrols it was drafted to excuse. The confession stands. The ships are still there.

title: Ukraine’s war effort against Russia just got a reboot

content_text:
Ukraine’s survival against a vastly more powerful Russian foe has always rested on an uneasy alliance between a corrupt state, steeped in Soviet-era reflexes, and a more innovative, Westward-looking population, much of it too young to have been shaped by the former USSR.

The recent showdown between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s 60-year-old top military commander and his 35-year-old minister of defense had threatened to destroy that partnership. His decision on Tuesday to fire the former and reinstate the latter has averted a breakup the country could not afford.

General Oleksandr Syrskyi had clashed with Mykhailo Fedorov — appointed to head the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense only six months ago — over how the war should be conducted. However, their differences represented something even bigger to many Ukrainians, so when Zelenskiy initially sided with the older man, they went out into the streets to protest.

The result was Syrskyi’s replacement on Tuesday by Major General Mykhailo Drapatyi, a 43-year-old Fedorov ally known for speaking plainly and championing the “drone line” style of fighting that has turned the frontline into a kill-zone dozens of kilometers wide.

Where Syrskyi was trained in Soviet-era Moscow, Drapatyi was trained in post-Soviet Ukraine. Nobody denies Syrskyi is a patriotic, talented commander who deserves respect for his success in leading the 2022 defense of Kyiv and the liberation of swathes of territory around Kharkiv. If teenage volunteers using commercial drones to spot artillery or scraping social media feeds to reveal Russian troop positions contributed to that achievement, the lion’s share of the credit went to traditional infantry and their commanders.

Yet the balance has transformed today, with drones and their generally young pilots no longer amateur curiosities, but dominant on the battlefield. Syrskyi is not popular among his troops, who have nicknamed him “the Butcher” for his perceived willingness to sacrifice men to keep a Ukrainian flag flying in villages that are, in reality, just part of a kill-zone held only by drones. When Fedorov also accused him of rewarding loyalty over achievement and of blocking reforms aimed at distributing power and resources to commanders in the field, Syrskyi’s pushback was telling.

Wars cannot be won with drones alone and excessive reliance on them was an “experiment” the country cannot risk, he said.

To Fedorov, what Syrskyi rejects is the asymmetrical warfare without which Ukraine can only lose.

“I personally don’t know how to win the war” using the structure Syrskyi has built, Fedorov said in his response to being fired, and at this juncture he might be right. He and Drapatyi would be on the same page about the need for reform in Ukraine’s armed forces and the kind of strategy they adopt for fighting the war.

Fedorov was minister for digital transformation for much of the conflict. He took that apparently niche job and ran with it, introducing the phone-based apps that enabled Ukraine’s disrupted state and displaced population to function — including allowing people to pay taxes and register for public services.

However, as the conflict progressed, he quickly became much more involved in the military war effort, helping to incubate a boom in drone innovation and production. This affected not just output, but also procurement, in the form of an eBay-style Web site on which brigade commanders could order their own drones directly, cutting out the defense ministry’s stultifying bureaucracy.

Indeed, Fedorov became so successful and popular that, after Zelenskiy had to fire much of his administration last year over a corruption scandal, he tapped the untouched digital whiz-kid to head up defense. It proved an inspired choice.

In the about six months since Fedorov took over, the battlefield has stabilized. Much of that improvement would have happened anyway, but he persuaded businessman Elon Musk to block Russian forces from Starlink’s satellite network, in what proved a significant blow.

The mid and long-range drone development in which Fedorov played a leading role took the war deep into Russia and disrupted supply lines to the front, where Kyiv’s forces remain outnumbered and outgunned. In the search for ways to compensate for that disadvantage, Ukraine used the drone boom Fedorov facilitated to develop a new style of warfare that has defense ministries around the world tearing up their doctrines and procurement plans.

If the decision to fire Fedorov seemed like a huge own goal for Ukraine, reminiscent of Zelenskiy’s abortive attempt last year to quash the corruption scandal by seizing control of the nation’s anti-graft agencies, that is because it was. The tussle at the top of Ukraine’s military is just as important as last year’s fight over the rule of law. It matters because the country’s million-strong military is a reflection of its society writ large and would shape its future, and because the battlefield stakes are so high. It took Zelenskyy too long to make the right choice in both cases, but that he eventually did so rather than try to crush dissent is a source of hope for Ukraine.

What is striking about Fedorov’s searing response to his initial firing is how much it was not just about technology, but also the need to end the debilitating effects of top-down, Soviet-era approaches to warfighting and accountability that remain endemic to Ukraine’s command. Syrskyi’s perception by his own troops as a butcher was a danger that had to be addressed. It affected everything from frontline morale to troop mobilization in Ukraine’s cities, where the idea of going to fight has become so unattractive that recruiters are resorting to violence.

As Fedorov said in his combative note, reform of the military into a corps structure — which aims to band together multiple brigades, and delegate operational decisionmaking and resources to the best commanders — had stalled under Syrskyi. Where carried out properly, the difference in battlefield outcomes has been clear, but these successes remain exceptions. Drapatyi’s task would now be to change that.

Ultimately, the two Ukraines that Syrskyi and Fedorov represent must cooperate if they are to stay one step ahead of Moscow in fighting this new kind of asymmetric war. By replacing Syrskyi with Drapatyi and restoring Fedorov to his post, Zelenskiy has made that possible again.

title: Miami sign Casemiro, but MLS probes deal

content_text:
Inter Miami on Wednesday announced the signing of Brazil star Casemiro, but Major League Soccer (MLS) immediately said it was investigating allegations of tampering by the club over the deal.

Casemiro, who has 91 caps for Brazil and won five UEFA Champions League titles with Real Madrid, was a free agent after Manchester United opted not to renew his contract following a mixed four-year stint at the Premier League giants.

The veteran 34-year-old midfielder opted to join Lionel Messi and Rodrigo De Paul at Inter Miami, which is co-owned by David Beckham, on a deal through next year’s MLS Sprint campaign, with an option to extend to June 2029.

“Casemiro’s arrival reflects the vision and ambition that define Inter Miami. We never settle. We’re always looking to grow, improve, and raise our standards every season,” Inter Miami managing owner Jorge Mas said. “We’ve built a global club with the vision of becoming not only the best club in the United States, but also a benchmark globally.”

However, just moments after the announcement, MLS said in its own statement that the North American soccer league was “reviewing a tampering allegation against Inter Miami CF.”

The probe concerns MLS’ system of “discovery rights,” which must be acquired by a club before they can start negotiating to sign specific high-profile players.

Los Angeles Galaxy had held the discovery rights to negotiate with Casemiro, and is understood to be receiving compensation from Inter Miami.

“The league is gathering all relevant information and will refrain from further comment until the review is complete,” MLS said. “While Inter Miami CF and the LA Galaxy have reached a settlement for the Discovery Priority to sign Casemiro, the terms will be released upon conclusion of the tampering investigation.”

The league did not specify potential penalties or a timeline for when the investigation might conclude.

While other clubs have international marquee talent, like Los Angeles FC’s Son Heung-min, signing Casemiro consolidates Inter Miami as the most star-packed club in MLS.

Inter Miami won its first ever MLS Cup title in December last year and moved into a brand-new stadium in April.

However, the club has run into trouble over transfer dealings in the past.

In 2020, French World Cup winner Blaise Matuidi’s move to Inter Miami from Juventus triggered an MLS investigation.

That probe resulted in the club being hit with a US$2 million fine for breaching salary cap regulations.

The MLS last week returned from a World Cup mid-season break and is hoping to tap into enthusiasm for soccer sparked by the giant tournament.

“Thanks, world, we’ll take it from here,” read a recent MLS campaign slogan.

In a statement released by the club, Casemiro said he was motivated to sign for Inter Miami by “winning and continuing to grow.”

“The project the Club presented to me, along with the effort everyone made to bring me here, means a lot to me,” he said.

Beckham added: “He is a winner who has achieved so much in the game and after such an incredible career with Real Madrid and Manchester United I’m delighted that he’s decided to make Miami his next home.”

IGNORING REPORTERS: The Russian envoy had little to say other than ‘nice hairstyle’ after the meeting, in which Rubio said he planned to address the conflict in Ukraine

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio yesterday met with Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov in the Philippines for talks at which he was expected to renew the prospect of the US brokering an end to the war in Ukraine.

The US Department of State offered few details about the meeting on the sidelines of an annual gathering of ASEAN foreign ministers in Manila.

“They discussed the US-Russia relationship and the need to end the Russia-Ukraine war,” a state department spokesperson said in a statement.

Russia did not immediately offer a readout and Lavrov largely ignored questions by reporters after he left the room.

Three days of closed-door talks that started on Tuesday have focused on the resurgent war in the Middle East, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the South China Sea, where a new clash flared yesterday.

Before Rubio and Lavrov met, they ignored shouted questions from reporters about whether Russia was helping Iran by providing targeting data on US locations in the region and when Russia would stop its war in Ukraine.

Lavrov did not answer questions, but appeared to be challenging reporters by saying: “Speak louder,” even though the room was quiet and questions could be clearly heard.

When he left the meeting about half an hour later, Lavrov was asked again if Russia is helping Iran target US troops.

“Nice hairstyle,” he said while looking at the reporter.

US efforts to broker an end to the Russia-Ukraine war have dropped off as indirect talks stalled and the Iran war took center stage.

Rubio told reporters in Manila on Wednesday that he planned to raise the conflict in Ukraine with Lavrov, saying that the US remained open to playing a role in ending the conflict “if that opportunity presents itself.”

He said that those efforts have “kind of fallen off a little bit over the last few months,” but the meeting would explore whether there is an opportunity to renew talks.

“We have to have a relationship with the Russian government, even though we have areas of disagreement,” Rubio said, adding that they are the two largest nuclear-armed countries.

Lavrov, speaking to reporters earlier, said he would ask Rubio about the latest statements by US President Donald Trump predicting that a settlement over the Ukraine conflict was getting close.

Expectations for renewed discussions about ending the war comes as Ukraine has made significant progress this year, but a rift between defense leaders has threatened to derail its efforts.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has undertaken a major government reshuffle, including its top military brass.

Ukraine was not the only issue on the table in Manila.

Rubio said he would use the meeting to find other areas of potential cooperation between the US and Russia — the kind of wide-ranging agenda that the ministers have touched on in their huddles around the ASEAN meeting.

A perfect result at a top mathematics contest used to be the preserve of a handful of bright young minds each year, but for the first time, artificial intelligence (AI) has also scored full marks.

Two Chinese tech companies, Huawei and Xiaohongshu, said that their AI models each achieved 100 percent on the questions given to human hopefuls at this month’s International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO).

They were the first AI labs to announce their scores, but others from around the world might follow suit in the next few days.

The Huawei logo is pictured at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai on July 6, 2023. Photo: AFP

“We are delighted with this result, because achieving a perfect score at the IMO is extremely challenging,” Xiaohongshu said in a statement this week.

“Previously, no large language model had ever achieved a perfect score under the IMO’s official judging process,” the firm added, referring to the tech that underpins AI tools.

Last year, models made by the likes of Google and OpenAI reached gold-level scores for the first time, but could not match the abilities of five human contestants who got 100 percent.

This year, 666 contestants from different countries took part in Shanghai.

Just seven of them achieved full marks, according to the official IMO scoreboard.

Participants at the IMO, held in different locations each year, must be aged under 20.

Huawei on Wednesday said that its AI system Celia had shown “comprehensive problem-solving capabilities” across several mathematical fields.

Xiaohongshu, known as RedNote in English, said its model dots-note-3.0 had entered the IMO for the first time this year.

Tech firms were only provided with the IMO problems after human contestants had taken the exam, with their submissions required within a specified time limit.

“During testing, any form of human intervention was strictly prohibited,” and the AI solutions were submitted to IMO organizers for grading, Xiaohongshu said.

AI’s progress has been fast: At the 2024 IMO, Google achieved a silver-medal score, solving four of the six problems over two to three days.

Deedy Das, a partner at the US-based investment firm Menlo Ventures, said he had given this year’s IMO questions himself to four cutting-edge AI models.

All four — from leading US labs OpenAI and Anthropic, the start-up Axiom Math and Kimi K3 from China’s Moonshot AI — scored 42 points out of 42, he said on LinkedIn.

“The frontier of AI has officially moved well past IMO math,” Das wrote.

title: Israeli officials criticize nuclear deal

content_text:
A deal between the US and Saudi Arabia allowing the kingdom to build nuclear reactors using US technology and to enrich uranium has fueled fears in Israel of the start of an arms race in the Middle East.

The agreement, which was announced on Wednesday and still needs approval from the US Congress, would allow Saudi Arabia to develop a civilian nuclear program.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his defense and foreign ministers have so far not commented on the deal, which critics say compromises Israel’s long-term security interests.

“The nuclear agreement that is coming together with Saudi Arabia, over Israel’s head, is a serious strategic failure that endangers our security,” said former Israeli prime minister Naftali Bennett, who is seeking to unseat Netanyahu in an Oct. 27 election. “Nuclear enrichment on Saudi soil could lead to a regional nuclear race and a dangerous loss of control.”

Former Israeli minister of defense Avigdor Lieberman said that “the civilian nuclear program in Saudi Arabia will end in nuclear weapons and will lead to a crazy arms race throughout the entire Middle East.”

Israel must oppose the deal and lobby Congress to stop the deal, Lieberman said.

A civil nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia has been in the works for years during US President Donald Trump’s first administration and that of former US president Joe Biden.

No deal has come together before now in part because of warnings from nonproliferation groups who say that it could offer Saudi Arabia a path to develop a nuclear weapon.

Israel also had hoped that a deal would come as part of a long-sought normalization agreement between Jerusalem and Riyadh.

“There is no security official who would say that introducing civilian nuclear capability into Saudi Arabia without integrating the move as part of building a moderate regional alliance is a step that is good for Israel’s security,” former Israeli deputy prime minister Benny Gantz said.

South Korean investigators yesterday raided the election commission over indications its officials falsified vote turnout figures in local elections last month, a spokesman said.

Dozens of polling stations experienced unprecedented ballot paper shortages on the June 3 nationwide vote, the first since South Korean President Lee Jae-myung took office last year.

The controversy sparked the resignation of Roh Tae-ak as chairman of the South Korean National Election Commission and demonstrations demanding an election re-run.

Lee ordered a “thorough” investigation.

In a broader investigation into the mishap, a joint team of police and prosecutors yesterday said that it was raiding the commission’s offices over signs that officials falsified voter turnout figures.

“We have found indications that officials from the National Election Commission and the Gyeonggi Provincial Election Commission entered false voter turnout figures during the local elections,” the team’s spokesman told reporters.

The team is “also conducting searches and seizures of those involved,” the spokesman said.

Investigators are probing whether some officials manipulated the election statistics system to correct earlier errors in voter turnout figures on the day of the local elections.

Under commission rules, any correction to reported turnout figures must go through a formal approval process.

Instead, investigators suspect some officials adjusted figures across multiple polling stations to keep the totals consistent while waiting for actual turnout numbers to catch up, bypassing the required reporting process.

For example, if 1,000 voters were mistakenly entered instead of 100 at one polling station, investigators believe officials redistributed the excess 900 votes across other polling stations, expecting later voting to narrow the gap, Yonhap news agency reported.

Analysts have said that the commission, a constitutional body with limited external oversight, has long faced gaps in internal discipline and review mechanisms.

Data that it provided to a lawmaker’s office showed that the ballot paper shortage left at least 90 voters unable to cast their ballots on June 3.

The special investigation team told reporters that two election officials have been formally placed under investigation on suspicion of offenses including falsifying official electronic records.

“We will examine whether the alleged manipulation extended beyond frontline staff and whether senior election officials were aware of or approved the actions,” it said.

Former South Korean president Yoon Suk-yeol — now jailed and on trial for insurrection — said after declaring martial law in 2024 that the commission had ignored warnings about North Korean threats to voter data and failed to cooperate fully with intelligence agency inspections.

In the wake of the June polls, groups in South Korea — including some supporters of Yoon — said that China had interfered in the country’s electoral system.

University students have also joined the protests in South Korea, calling for a thorough investigation into the commission and stronger protections for voters’ rights.

CHILDREN HIT: A 10-year-old and a three-year-old were hurt in the attack, described as a ‘serious threat to national security’ and undermining peace

Five Thai security personnel were killed and six civilians, including two young children, injured in an attack in Thailand’s south, the military said yesterday.

About 10 assailants dressed in black and wearing black brimmed hats arrived in a pickup truck and on motorcycles before launching an attack on a roadside checkpoint in Narathiwat Province late on Wednesday using firearms and pipe bombs, the Thai military’s Internal Security Operations Command Region 4 said in a statement.

Five paramilitary rangers were killed in the attack and six civilians were wounded, including a three-year-old girl and a 10-year-old boy, the command said.

Authorities said the attackers seized three AK-47 rifles, three bulletproof vests and several mobile phones from the checkpoint before fleeing.

Security forces later found the pickup truck used in the assault abandoned and set ablaze about 21km from the scene.

As with most attacks in Thailand’s deep south, no group immediately claimed responsibility.

The attack was an act of terrorism that posed “a serious threat to national security” and undermined ongoing efforts to revive the peace process, government spokeswoman Rachada Dhnadirek said in a separate statement.

Thailand’s southern border region along the frontier with Malaysia has been the scene of a decades-long, slow-burning insurgency, with security forces battling groups seeking independence for the predominantly Muslim, ethnically Malay provinces of Pattani, Yala, Narathiwat and parts of Songkhla.

The region was once part of the independent Malay sultanate of Patani before it was annexed by Siam under a 1909 treaty with Britain.

The latest phase of the conflict erupted in 2004 and has claimed more than 7,800 lives, according to conflict monitor Deep South Watch.

Peace talks between the Thai government and several insurgent groups began in 2013 under Malaysian facilitation, but have repeatedly stalled, yielding little tangible progress.

Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has pledged to revive negotiations with the main insurgent group, the Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN), after appointing a new chief negotiator in April, although formal talks have yet to resume.

In a statement earlier this month, the BRN said that dialogue remained the only viable path to resolving the conflict and expressed appreciation for Malaysia’s continued role as facilitator.

Art Wave Artistic Director Wang Tzer-shing is on a mission to prove to Taiwanese audiences that ballet is more than Swan Lake. Ahead of the 17th Ballet Star Gala on Sunday, she introduced her program to the ‘Taipei Times’

For anyone unfamiliar with a ballet gala, Wang Tzer-shing (王澤馨) has a ready comparison.

“Imagine in the culinary world, it would be like 10 Michelin-starred chefs bringing each a signature dish to the table,” she said.

On Sunday, Art Wave’s 17th Ballet Star Gala gathers 10 world-class dancers performing 13 works in a single afternoon, offering Taiwanese audiences a rare chance to experience ballet’s remarkable range.

Assembling this year’s gala in a record six weeks, Wang curated a program spanning classical, neoclassical and contemporary ballet. It includes five Taiwanese premieres, two Asian premieres and two world premieres.

Yet, she refuses to single out any one dancer or piece as a recommendation.

“That would be like choosing your favorite child,” she said. “Every one of them has something unique and special.”

Movie: Nolan goes god-tier with breathtaking epic of men, monsters and moral metamorphosisDoing full justice to the Homeric legend, Christopher Nolan amasses an epic cast to convey the true cost of war with film-making of thrilling ambition

Christopher Nolan reinvents the Homeric legend as a colossal origin-myth story of postwar disillusion, an epic ordeal of anguish witnessed by the dead and presided over by capricious deities who participate on almost equal terms with the humans. It speaks to the generational pain of PTSD; plenty of soldiers come home in person after any war promptly enough, but arriving back to their prewar state emotionally or spiritually can take years or decades and may never happen at all. The invisible odyssey of anguish is punctuated by flashback episodes, hallucinations, confrontations with the arbitrary gods of dysfunction. And all the time the spouses and children cannot move on with their lives.

This is a film with thrilling ambition, boldness, seriousness, generosity and flair. There are some broad-brush moments in the dialogue, yes, but even these are applied with a muscular flourish. It has gasp-inducing, Imax-sized landscapes of loneliness shot by cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema — who, incidentally, avoids the sea’s traditional cliched color — and full-tilt battle sequences and fight scenes accompanied by the throbbing and thrumming of drums.

Matt Damon plays Odysseus, his boyish, almost cherubic face turned into a careworn mask of sadness. He is the military commander from Ithaca appointed by the Greek king Agamemnon, played by Benny Safdie, his face always mysteriously masked in a Batman-type helmet. (Another echo of Nolan’s previous work is detectable in the troops’ endless wait on the beach, as in Dunkirk.) Odysseus reveals to Penelope (Anne Hathaway), the wife whom he is about to leave and whom he advises to remarry if he dies in battle, that the notional cause for the imminent war with Troy — the elopement of Helen (Lupita Nyong’o) with Trojan prince Paris — is a pretext. It is a banal commercial contest for trading routes.

The Greeks’ eventual victory is achieved after a brilliant tactical deception: an elite combat unit hides cramped in a huge horse statue, which is not rolled into the fortified city on casters as a gift, but dragged inside by its own victims as a precious object from the surf, half hidden in the sand. It’s a trick that involves Odysseus having to deceive his own comrade and cousin Sinon (Elliot Page), a blood sacrifice for which he feels unending guilt. Nolan recreates the Trojan horse as a cross between the Statue of Liberty from Planet of the Apes and Shelley’s statue of Ozymandias.

The point is that the war, its supposed aims, its storied strategic success and presumed outcome are all irrelevant compared to the long, bizarre chaos of the aftermath, the giant toxic effect that follows the forgotten cause, as demoralizing as a retreat that follows catastrophe. Agamemnon returns home to be killed; his brother Menelaus (Jon Bernthal) is grimly reunited with Helen, in which role Nyong’o also doubles as Agamemnon’s killer Clytemnestra. Meanwhile, Odysseus and his men, tormented and disoriented with hunger and loss, embark on their own chaotic sea journey of survival, meeting Harryhausen-type monsters such as the Cyclops, the Laestrygonians and Circe (Samantha Morton), Calypso (Charlize Theron) and the alluring Sirens, but also the sorrowing goddess Athena (Zendaya), who is Odysseus’s ally.

And at home, to stall for time and contain the potentially violent power vacuum contingent on Odysseus’s assumed death, Penelope is forced to entertain dozens of potential marriage suitors as guests at a humiliating and continuous bacchanal of greed. The most prominent is the creepy Antinous, sleekly played by Robert Pattinson, who is cruel to Odysseus’s blind manservant Eumaeus, an emotional, sympathetic portrayal by John Leguizamo. Odysseus’s psychically wounded son Telemachus (Tom Holland) must now embark on his own odyssey, to find his father, or his father’s corpse.

When Odysseus has to descend into the underworld to converse with the dead, it is an unforgettably strange scene: Nolan has the shrouded spirits hunch above ground like the witches in Macbeth. The dead, like the gods, can be contacted on an almost level playing field; this is the bizarre pagan rule of the Odyssey, as opaque and amoral as the secular symptoms of psychological breakdown. And yet when Odysseus finally approaches Penelope’s house, now under brutal siege from suitors in parallel to the siege of Troy, he does so in the Christ-like disguise of a beggar. In the final movement to this story, Odysseus begins his own mysterious metamorphosis into a god.

One part of the Homer original that Nolan doesn’t include is the hero’s roguish grandfather Autolycus, who named him and by that token gave this story its title. Odysseus means “victim of enmity” — though variant translations have ingeniously and insightfully rendered that as “giver or initiator of enmity and hate.” Still, it is perhaps the most unimprovable name an action hero can have: vivid, elemental, existential. He is the victim of no single enmity, except arguably that of Antinous, but enmity all around, an ecosystem of enmity, the hostile terrain through which he must pass to reach the even more hostile terrain of home.

The result is a gigantic, shimmering mirage, a mysterious three-hour vision of crazy episodes that does not yield up wisdom or contentment, but only a grim resolution to continue with the fight, to make sense of ruined lives, to re-enter the scorched battlefield of loss.


title: 發現好友在背後說壞話怎麼辦？5個方法教你高EQ面對

▲冷靜整理情緒後再溝通，比衝動對質更容易解決問題。

記者曾怡嘉／台北報導 圖／翻攝自FB/tVN drama

發現好友在背後議論自己、甚至說壞話，難免會感到失望、生氣或受傷。有些人選擇當面說開，也有人默默忍耐，反而讓情緒越積越深。面對這種情況，不一定要立刻切割關係，5個方法教你高EQ面對。

#先確認資訊來源 別急著下結論

若是透過第三人轉述得知，先不要急著認定對方真的說過。訊息在傳遞過程中可能出現誤解或斷章取義，建議先釐清事情全貌，再決定是否進一步溝通。

#先整理情緒 不要在氣頭上回應

被朋友批評難免會受傷，但若在情緒高漲時立刻傳訊息、公開質問或發文，容易讓衝突升高。如果這段友誼對自己很重要，不妨找合適的時機，用平靜的語氣詢問對方，說明自己聽到的內容以及感受，給彼此一個澄清誤會或解釋的機會，而不是靠猜測做決定。

#留意彼此是否仍值得信任

若對方願意坦誠溝通、共同解決問題，友誼仍有修復的可能；但如果持續貶低、散播流言或一再傷害自己，也可以重新思考彼此相處的界線，不必勉強維持一段讓自己受傷的關係。

#把重心放回自己

別人的評價不一定代表事實，也不需要用他人的言論定義自己的價值。把時間放在支持自己的人、培養興趣或提升自己，比反覆糾結對方說了什麼，更有助於恢復情緒。

不必討好所有人

再受歡迎的人，也不可能得到每個人的喜歡。與其把心力放在討好所有人，不如把時間留給願意尊重、理解自己的人際關係。

網搜小組／董美琪報導

台北市大直美麗華影城23日晚間發生放映事故。原訂晚間7時30分於IMAX影廳上映的電影《奧德賽》（The Odyssey），播放約46分鐘後，晚間8時16分左右因機電系統異常，畫面突然中斷，影廳空調也同步停止運作，最終場次宣布取消，讓不少觀眾相當傻眼。巧合的是，3年前的同一天（2023年7月23日），影城也曾因停電導致電影無法放映，有網友翻出當年公告，驚呼「7/23是不宜放諾蘭的電影嗎」。

大直美麗華影城昨晚向現場觀眾表示，這次是因機電系統跳電，導致放映設備無法正常運作，短時間內無法完成排除，因此只能取消當晚放映。針對受影響民眾，美麗華祭出補償方案，已離場的觀眾可辦理全額退票，另提供「買一賠二」補償；若留在現場等待處理，則可憑一張電影票兌換兩張電影票，（相關辦法依影城公告為主）。

事件曝光後，有網友翻出美麗華影城過去的公告，指出2023年7月23日上午，曾因台電變電箱保險絲熔斷波及影城，造成上午9時至12時10分多個場次無法正常放映。當時公告提到，待停電當天未完成退票的民眾，可於7月31日前持票至影城6樓售票處辦理退票。

巧合的是，2023年7月23日正值電影《奧本海默》（Oppenheimer）上映期間，今年7月23日又碰上《奧德賽》（The Odyssey）放映中斷，不少網友因此直呼「7月23日是不是不宜去美麗華看諾蘭的電影」、「歷史又重演了」。

記者許力方／台北報導

中央氣象署昨（23日）深夜11時30分發布12號輕度颱風「未命名」（待正名：紅霞）海上颱風警報，首發警戒範圍包含巴士海峽、東沙島海面，預估颱風路徑將穩定朝西北西移動，並逐漸增強、擴大暴風範圍，今（24日）通過巴士海峽，將為花東、恆春半島帶來豪雨，南部地區有大雨發生。

結構轉佳增強 氣象署發布海警

氣象署預報中心科長劉宇其說明，氣象署觀測12號颱風過去的結構變化，昨晚結構變得很好，對流發展旺盛，因此根據各項資料研判已經達到輕颱強度，並於昨晚8點將其升格第12號颱風。由於西北太平洋的颱風命名權在日本區域專業天氣中心，在日本未判定時，氣象署依照慣例以「未命名」來處理。

12號颱風昨晚11時位在台灣東南方680公里海面上，未來將穩定速度朝西北西前進，由於環境條件不錯，預計將逐漸增強，暴風範圍逐步擴大，今天深夜暴風範圍就會涵蓋巴士海峽、東沙島，因此氣象署發布海上警報。

今明最接近台灣 花東恆春豪雨警戒

後續路徑上，今天颱風通過巴士海峽後，依舊穩定朝西北西前進，明天（25日）來到西南方海面，明天深夜到26日（周日）清晨可能由中國華南沿岸登陸。氣象署預計，颱風今、明2天最靠近台灣，路徑上來看發陸警機率低，其外圍環流將為各地帶來風雨，但感受大不同。

劉宇其表示，降雨部分，今天白天是颱風接近過程，水氣不多，東半部、恆春半島開始陸續有短暫陣雨，西半部大致多雲到晴，甚至有些地方比較高溫，北部地區可能有焚風，午後山區、新竹以南地區有零星雷陣雨，但降雨不多。

今晚到明天整天，是颱風最靠近時候，外圍環流為迎風面的東半部、大台北地區帶來降雨，尤其花東、恆春有局部豪大雨。明天南部則有局部大雨，這些地方降雨較明顯。背風面的中部以北少雨甚至晴朗，可能有焚風的極端高溫發生。26日颱風遠離，南來的水氣仍多，南部、花東天氣仍不穩定，其他地方可能有午後大雷雨。

沿海風浪同步增強 台東高屏發布強風特報

風力部分，隨著颱風靠近明顯增強，明天白天東南部海面、巴士海峽、包括台東恆春半島、綠島、蘭嶼有8至9級強陣風，北海岸受地形影響風勢也增強，氣象署已經針對台東、高屏、桃園以北沿岸發布陸上強風特報；西南部也會開始沿岸強風，且浪也會隨風增大，預計今晚北海岸、花東、南部及澎湖將出現3米以上浪高。

美國財政部長貝森特指出，川普政府將調查中國人工智慧（AI）是否由美國模型蒸餾而出。白宮發言人今天表示，這是川普政府高度重視的事項，目前正追蹤掌握相關情況，這關乎美國國家安全，必須確保美國在AI競爭中保持主導地位。

美中AI競爭備受關注，美國財經媒體CNBC日前報導，中國的開放權重（open-weight）模型正在加速發展，以追趕OpenAI和Anthropic等美國公司的領先產品，引發科技業高層與政府官員擔憂美國在AI競賽中的領先地位可能不保。

中國新創公司「月之暗面」（Moonshot AI）本月稍早推出Kimi K3模型，在部分行業基準測試中表現超越上述公司。貝森特（Scott Bessent）21日接受福斯財經新聞網（Fox Business）節目訪問表示，若發現海外模型竊取美國企業的成果，華府有能力針對這種竊盜行為制裁他們。

白宮發言人李威特（Karoline Leavitt）今天在白宮記者會被問及美國總統川普（Donald Trump）與中國國家主席習近平9月會晤時，是否會談及這項議題。她回應表示，她認為這將是川普政府高度重視的事項，「顯然要確保美國在AI競爭中保持主導地位」，川普政府也正追蹤掌握相關情況。

另有媒體問及，若發現中國AI模型竊取美國技術，川普將採取何種措施因應？李威特說，相關對話正在進行中，她也強調，這極為重要，不僅關乎美國國家安全，「也是為了確保美國在這個領域持續保持主導地位」。

據報導，Anthropic上月曾致函美國聯邦參議院銀行、住宅和城市事務委員會（U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs），指控中國科技公司阿里巴巴對Anthropic發動迄今「已知規模最大的蒸餾攻擊」。

蒸餾（distillation）是一種AI訓練方法，使用一個功能較強大的現有模型輸出，來建構一個規模較小、能力較弱的模型。

貝森特指出，在許多中國模型上發現美國大型語言模型的浮水印，「這是無法接受的。我們將在未來幾天或幾週內對此展開調查」。

路透社報導，美國與中國計劃在9月舉行關於AI的會談，貝森特將代表美國參與討論。（編輯：楊昭彥）1150724

由於烏克蘭無人機攻擊摧毀了境內主要煉油廠的部分設施，俄羅斯被迫進口汽油，並即將接收一批來自印度的燃油，凸顯俄國燃油短缺的嚴重程度。

英國「金融時報」23日報導，在此前遭遇的襲擊導致國內煉油產能大減約40％之後，這個全球最大的產油國之一，已被迫轉向國外尋求援助。能源市場情報公司Kpler的資料顯示，1艘載有4萬2000噸源自印度瓦迪納爾（Vadinar）煉油廠汽油的油輪，預計26日抵達俄羅斯北部油品接收站「白海」（Beloye More）。

自從烏克蘭的襲擊引發自蘇聯解體以來最嚴重的燃油危機後，俄羅斯全國各地的行政區，本月陸續實施某種形式的個人購買汽油限制措施。在部分地區，民眾必須排隊數小時、甚至數天才能買到燃料。

據金融時報估計，這場危機影響約5000萬名俄羅斯人。隨著全國各地的加油站前開始大排長龍，莫斯科在6月下旬正式宣布進口燃油的計畫。

Kpler資料顯示，這批來自瓦迪納爾煉油廠的燃油，是6月18日在瓦迪納爾裝上「阿格尼號」（Agni）油輪。該艘油輪7月6日在埃及地中海沿岸附近的達米埃塔（Damietta Light），將整批運載油品轉移到「加奈特號」（Garnet），然後沿著挪威海岸向北航行。

瓦迪納爾煉油廠為印度「納亞拉能源公司」（Nayara Energy）所有，而俄羅斯國營的俄羅斯石油公司（Rosneft）持有該公司49％的股份。Kpler資料顯示，2026年在瓦迪納爾煉油廠所處理的原油中，高達90％以上來自俄羅斯。諷刺的是，精煉後的俄羅斯原油，正從自2022年以來成為其海運最大進口國的印度流回俄國。

然而，納亞拉表示，該公司「從未出售、也沒有計畫向俄羅斯企業出售燃油」，並強調其「依然致力於服務印度市場，滿足整個印度各地的燃油需求」。

路透本月上旬曾報導，已有至少6萬噸汽油從印度發往俄羅斯，相當於該國單日消費量約60％。

預計本週抵達俄羅斯的這批印度燃油，似乎是自燃油危機爆發以來單次最大規模的汽油進口，但這並非俄羅斯目前使用的唯一外國燃料來源。

主要精煉俄羅斯原油的白俄羅斯，也已大幅增加對莫斯科的汽油銷售。與金融時報分享的俄羅斯「價格基準中心」（Price Benchmark Centre）的資料顯示，今年6月，白俄向俄羅斯出售18萬4000噸汽油，比上月增加3倍，相較於去年同期更暴增184倍。

主管能源部門的俄羅斯副總理諾瓦克（Alexander Novak）本月8日已證實，開始進口「石油產品」。

俄羅斯總統普廷（Vladimir Putin）在22日的一場電視直播會議上提到燃油危機，但他強調這些「困難」只是「暫時性的」，並不會改變「整體的經濟動態」。

瑞典23日宣布，當局規劃最早在2028年禁止在服裝與廚具等消費產品中，使用所謂的「永久性化學物質」（forever chemicals）全氟烷基化合物（PFAS）。

瑞典的氣候與環境部長波爾莫卡塔里（Romina Pourmokhtari）透過聲明表示，既然有有效替代品，「PFAS就不該出現在衣服、化妝品、炊具與其他日常用品中」…「瑞典絕不會放任『永久性化學物質』繼續在我們的家裡、自然環境與身體內擴散」。

這項將在2028年1月1日生效的禁令，將涵蓋服裝、鞋類、衣鞋防水劑、廚具、化妝品與及滑雪板蠟。

歐盟委員會預計2027年提案，全面限制在服裝或披薩盒等常見消費產品上使用PFAS，但醫療等戰略領域不包括在內；一旦歐盟版相關法規定案，瑞典的國內禁令將被歐盟版法規取代。

PFAS是一類化學性質穩定的合成物質，因難以在自然界中分解而被稱為「永久性化學物質」，廣泛應用於從不沾鍋、服裝到工業製造等各類日常產品。由於PFAS對健康有害，其使用目前正在全球各地日益受限。

title: 80歲阿公手握1180萬  偏心栽培學霸孫大翻車悲劇了

有些祖父母出錢栽培孫子女，資助標準若只看成績與「有沒有前途」，可能會留下難以修補的裂痕。示意圖。（彭博）

〔財經頻道／綜合報導〕有些祖父母出錢栽培孫子女，但資助標準只看成績與「有沒有前途」，恐留下難以修補的裂痕。日本一名80歲阿公資產逾6000萬日圓（約1176萬），將數百萬日圓的教育費全投注在最看好的孫子身上，忽略其他孫子。未料用心栽培的學霸孫因壓力太大放棄醫學院夢想，畢業後從事行政職；另一名沒有得到阿公資助的孫子創業，年收1500萬日圓（約台幣294萬），成為家族最成功的人。當妻子離世、家族再度團聚時，他才驚覺，真正失去的不是金錢，而是再也回不來的親情。

日媒報導，日本東京都80歲男子一郎（化名）65歲退休時，擁有約4800萬日圓（約台幣940萬）金融資產與房產，夫妻年金一年約340萬日圓（約台幣67萬），晚年生活無虞。多年投資後，資產更增至超過6000萬日圓。

他最偏愛長孫翔太。因翔太從小成績優異，考上私立名校，一郎認定他未來有望成為醫師或律師，陸續支付補習費、學費，高中畢業前累計資助約500萬日圓（約台幣98萬）；至於其他孫子女，通常只有入學紅包約3萬日圓（約台幣5880元）。

每逢家族聚會，阿公總是不斷稱讚翔太，對其他孫子女卻幾乎漠不關心。這樣明顯的差別待遇，也讓孩子們逐漸感受到彼此並不平等。

然而，長孫翔太背負阿公的期待，長年承受巨大壓力。高中三年級因健康惡化，不得不放棄醫學院夢想，最後進入地方公司擔任行政職。阿公感嘆：「花了這麼多錢，結果竟然……」，卻沒發現那些資助早已成為孫子沉重的心理負擔。

反觀另一名孫子悠斗，高中畢業後就讀資訊科系，完全沒有獲得祖父援助，靠父母、打工及助學貸款完成學業。他在校期間投入App開發，畢業後進入科技公司，26歲創業成立軟體公司，3年後年營收突破8000萬日圓（約台幣1568萬），年收入約1500萬日圓，成為家族中最成功的人。

直到兒子告知，阿公才知道這位曾被自己忽視的孫子早已事業有成。阿公的妻子過世後，家人在葬禮重聚，阿公主動對孫子悠斗說：「聽說你很成功，不愧是我的孫子，如果需要資金，隨時來找我。」悠斗則回答：「謝謝，工作很順利。不過以前的事情，我一直沒有忘記。」

阿公也發現，不只是悠斗，包括出錢栽培的孫子翔太及其他孫子女，都與他保持距離；就連自己的子女，也因多年偏心造成嫌隙，彼此疏遠。

理財專家指出，祖父母協助教育費並沒有錯，但若把資源只投注在「成績最好」或「最有前途」的孩子身上，容易讓其他孩子覺得自己連存在價值都被否定。教育支援應是表達關愛，而非投資未來報酬。

氣動元件龍頭亞德客-KY（1590）今年來訂單能量絲毫未減，接單金額連月超越出貨表現，推升第二季營收寫下歷史新猷。單季合併營收達121.64億元，較上季成長21.48%，較去年同期大增35.87%，不僅刷新單季紀錄，更是連續三季改寫歷史新高。亞德客訂於28日召開法人說明會，屆時將公布第二季財報細節並揭露下半年營運方向。股價方面，亞德客-KY昨（23）日上漲5元，漲幅0.36%，收在1405元。

它Q2營收大增35% 法人估全年EPS衝破50元

亞德客指出，公司手上在手訂單依舊維持在高檔水準，且近期出貨腳步較原先預估更為順暢，主要動能來自電池、工具機、通用機械、汽車與電子等終端應用的強勁需求。其中電子類客戶約有二至三成訂單與手機產業相關，而電池、工具機及通用機械等領域的拉貨力道尤其明顯。展望2026年，亞德客對氣動元件整體市場需求及公司營運前景持續看好。

在產品策略上，亞德客積極朝高階自動化領域邁進，位於台灣的第二研發中心目前已投入電動缸與滾珠螺桿的研發工作，讓產品線從既有的氣動元件版圖，進一步擴展至更完整的自動化零組件陣容。同時，新規格的半導體用氣動元件也預計於下半年完成驗證程序，為上市鋪路，藉此強化整體產品競爭優勢。

為因應訂單持續攀升，亞德客同步啟動產能擴建計畫，並透過強化生產效率、調整產品組合結構及適度調升外銷報價等方式，緩解原物料成本波動帶來的衝擊。法人評估，亞德客第二季每股盈餘可望超越首季的13.35元，再度刷新單季紀錄，上半年每股盈餘有機會逼近30元，全年更有望挑戰50元以上的水準。

國民黨青年楊植斗等四人為反毒油發起絕食抗議，至今已邁入第五天，儘管多位藍營大咖前往探視，挺藍網紅護理師張喬瑜卻公開抨擊此舉荒腔走板，甚至取消應援計畫。張喬瑜批評絕食者搭帳篷、輪流接力且嘻笑互動，不僅讓抗議淪為同樂會，更成為綠營攻擊的笑柄，痛批此舉毫無邏輯且成效適得其反。此番言論引發藍營支持者兩極評價，有人質疑其立場動搖，也有人認同抗爭策略失當。面對質疑，張喬瑜曬出請假紀錄自清，強調自己原意是支持反毒油訴求，但無法接受絕食行動將焦點模糊，導致抗爭失去意義，決定回歸職場不再參與。

網紅護理師張喬瑜表示不去725反毒油。（圖／張喬瑜提供）國民黨北市議員楊植斗與議員參選人賴苡任、何元楷、張家馨以絕食手段表達「反毒油」的訴求，該行動從上週日（19日）開始迄今，絕食活動進入第5天，包含國民黨主席鄭麗文、台中市長盧秀燕、台北市長蔣萬安、國民黨團總召傅崐萁等人皆抵達現場探望。但挺藍網紅護理師張喬瑜透過粉專發文表示決定不25日不會前去凱道應援，並表示，「絕食是要絕到底，還輪流絕食是在哈囉喔？如果是要做做樣子那當初就乾脆不要搞這活動，弄新話題給人看笑話而已，無言。」我決定不去凱道了。

原本假都跟老闆請好了，打算週六要跟大家一起站出來。結果這兩三天看下來，好好的訴求直接被弄成一場笑話，真的看到肚子一把火！沒腦就不要辦什麼絕食！絕食還搭帳篷？還能接力喝水喝到飽？一群人嘻皮笑臉在那邊聊天哈哈哈，這到底是在抗議還是在辦同樂會啊？簡直是雙手把子彈遞給敵人拿來當笑話打！最討厭動不動就自稱什麼「青年」的，以為很厲害？事實上做事根本欠缺思慮、毫無邏輯！

原本大家是因為「毒油議題」滿腔憤慨想衝一波，結果被這場荒謬又可笑的絕食直接打爛。負面效果遠大於正面，看得很氣，老娘不爽去了！回歸現實，腳踏實地上班賺錢最實在，反正我們只是一般小老百姓，多我一個少我一個，根本不重要！但現在感覺沒有去的意義了，也沒那感覺了，讓那些青年絕食的去玩吧！我回去上班。

PO文曝光後頓時引起白、藍、綠支持者熱議，有不少忠實的藍營支持者炮轟張喬瑜「綠喬喬」、「風向狗」、「倒戈、作秀，還稱她原本就沒打算上凱道，如今只想藉此大做文章、污衊正在進行絕食行動的4位藍營人物」、「根本青鳥」、「我覺得妳被綠畜生帶走了」、「始作俑者還上凱道難怪這麼生氣」、「偷換概念，換絕食，看來翻車了」、「笑鼠，連女草都可以這樣踩，摳連喔」、「越來越清醒，恭喜你」。

對此，張喬瑜23日上午也曬出和老闆的對話紀錄佐證，她在得知上凱道消息的隔天就已向老闆請假。並提到大家站出來，說穿了就是希望執政者負起責任，其他那些無聊的吵鬧全是廢話。有些人在那邊抓小放大、講話狂留破綻給側翼反殺，我真的看不懂你到底是來幫忙的，還是專門來扯後腿的？

張喬瑜本來已經請好假要上凱道反毒油。（圖／張喬瑜提供）

真想讓台灣變好，就把精力放在制度跟真正的政策戰場上，不要動不動就做球給對手轉移焦點。明明焦點就是放在725，大家打毒油案打得很好，這些絕食的人就出來蹭熱度，搞到活動失焦，這就是我為什麼這麼生氣的原因。

張喬瑜認為，這場絕食行動分明會被青鳥放大檢視，結果參與絕食的4人非但沒有展現出絕食的毅力與決心，反而搭好帳篷、擺舒服的躺躺椅、嬉嘻哈哈滑手機聊天的畫面還被青鳥捕捉到，甚至還有其他人前去簽名打氣、聽診，荒腔走板的行動也讓之前有決定取消請假：「事後我就覺得上凱道也沒意義，回去上班賺錢比較實際！」，「負面效果遠大於正面，看得很氣，老娘不爽去了！」

中央氣象署表示，原位於菲律賓東方海面的熱帶性低氣壓，於今（23）日20時發展為輕度颱風，編號第12號（國際命名：NONAME，中文譯名：未命名），但為何颱風名字是「未命名」？氣象署解釋，因從今晚20時的各項氣象資料判定，該熱帶系統達輕颱強度，但颱風命名權為世界氣象組織位於日本的區域專業氣象中心（RSMC）所有，因此先以「NONAME」、「未命名」處理。

目前第12號颱風為「未命名」。（圖／氣象署）

中央氣象署表示，今（23）日20時編號第12號「未命名」（NONAME）颱風生成，並於今晚23時30分發布海警。但為何颱風名字是「未命名」？氣象署解釋，因從今晚20時的各項氣象資料判定，該熱帶系統達輕颱強度，但颱風命名權為世界氣象組織位於日本的區域專業氣象中心（RSMC）所有，因此先以「NONAME」、「未命名」處理。

氣象署在臉書粉專表示，很多人都好奇，為何今年第12號颱風叫做「未命名」，其實是因為氣象署根據今晚20點的各項氣象資料，判定位於菲東海面的熱帶系統達輕度颱風強度，且即將為台灣帶來影響，故將其升格為西北太平洋編號第12號颱風。不過因為颱風命名權為世界氣象組織位於日本的區域專業氣象中心所有，目前該組織仍判定它為熱帶性低氣壓，故暫無國際命名，所以氣象署的颱風消息依據慣例，國際命名欄位先以「NONAME」、「未命名」處理。氣象署指出，該颱風未來仍有發展的趨勢，待區域氣象中心接著也可能將它升格為颱風，屆時氣象署就會配合將之正名為「紅霞」颱風。

「未命名颱風」早就有先例。（圖／氣象署）

事實上，此次也並非首例，氣象專家吳聖宇在臉書透露，2020年的米克拉颱風也是先發布海上陸上颱風警報，過了4小時後才正式命名；2016年10月的艾利颱風當時海上颱風警報第1至6報都是標示「國際尚未命名」，直到第7報日本氣象廳才將其命名為艾利，氣象署早了整整18小時。

颱風通過台灣以南 週六影響最劇

氣象署透露，颱風進入巴士海峽後，明晚至後天清晨東半部及恆春半島將陸續出現雨勢，整體降雨越晚越明顯；接著明晚進入台灣海峽南部，週六是颱風影響最劇烈的時刻，花東及恆春半島在週六清晨將出現大雨或豪雨等級降雨，隨著颱風持續移動，南部在週六下半天也可能出現大雨等級降雨，其他地區也有零星降雨機會。

中東地區衝突加劇推升國際油價，加上特斯拉和Google母公司Aphabet最新財報讓投資人懷疑，，許多科技公司砸下鉅額爭相投入AI發展，是否能轉為獲利，受以上影響，截稿前，特斯拉重挫13.09%，四大指數走低，道瓊工業指數更是下跌414.21點，台指期夜盤則跌603點。外媒報導，Alphabet股價下跌也拖累了股市。（示意圖／pixabay）中東地區衝突加劇推升國際油價，加上特斯拉和Google母公司Aphabet最新財報讓投資人懷疑，，許多科技公司砸下鉅額爭相投入AI發展，是否能轉為獲利，受以上影響，截稿前，特斯拉重挫13.09%，四大指數走低，道瓊工業指數更是下跌414.21點，台指期夜盤則跌603點。

外媒報導，Alphabet股價下跌也拖累了股市，截稿前跌幅6.21%，由於該公司將2026年資本支出預期上調至高達2050億美元，顯示人工智慧需求強勁，受此提振，Google股價應聲上漲。特斯拉第二季獲利遠低於預期，股價也下跌了13%，該公司同期營運支出成長速度也超過了營收成長速度。

油價暴漲方面，外媒分析認為，這給股市帶來更大壓力，由於葉門由德黑蘭支持的胡塞武裝組織聲稱在紅海襲擊了兩艘沙烏地阿拉伯油輪，引發市場對中東衝突進一步擴大的擔憂，且美國總統川普威脅將轟炸伊朗基礎設施，也推動油價持續走高。

受局勢影響，布蘭特原油價格大漲7%，突破每桶101美元大關，西德州原油上揚6%，升至每桶92美元以上，布蘭特原油和西德州原油價格都創下自美伊上個月達成停戰協議以來的最高水準。

美股盤中（圖／翻攝yahoo股市）截稿前，道瓊工業指數跌414.21點或0.79%、標普500指數跌79.50點或1.06%、那斯達克指數跌500.43點或1.95%，費城半導體指數跌54.98點或0.44%。

指標美股，截稿前，蘋果跌4.85美元或1.49%、輝達跌2.66美元或1.25%，台積電ADR跌3.69美元或0.88%。

手機半夜突然自己亮了，小心可能不是故障！中國湖北一名男子日前因下載來路不明的手機清理APP，竟遭詐騙集團植入木馬程式，趁著深夜遠端操控手機，短短時間內轉走近6萬元人民幣（約新台幣28萬元），幸好妻子及時察覺異狀並報警，最終成功追回款項。事件曝光後，也讓不少網友直呼「現在的詐騙真的防不勝防」。（記者唐家興）

湖北一名男子手機螢幕深夜突然亮了，28萬元瞬間被盜，驚悚過程引發全網熱議。（示意圖／AI生成）手機半夜突然自己亮了，小心可能不是故障！中國湖北一名男子日前因下載來路不明的手機清理APP，竟遭詐騙集團植入木馬程式，趁著深夜遠端操控手機，短短時間內轉走近6萬元人民幣（約新台幣28萬元），幸好妻子及時察覺異狀並報警，最終成功追回款項。事件曝光後，也讓不少網友直呼「現在的詐騙真的防不勝防」。

【點錯一個權限 手機成詐騙工具】根據陸媒《大河報》報導，黃姓男子因舊手機運作變慢，在瀏覽器跳出的廣告中下載了一款號稱能清理垃圾的APP。

安裝過程中，他沒有仔細查看權限內容，習慣性一路按下「允許」，其中包括開啟「無障礙功能」等高風險權限。由於APP確實完成手機清理，因此他並未察覺異狀。沒想到，這個看似方便的動作，卻讓詐騙集團取得控制手機的管道。

【半夜手機螢幕亮了 妻子意外救回人民幣6萬元】事發當晚，黃先生熟睡時，詐騙集團透過木馬程式遠端操控手機，在背景執行多筆轉帳，全程幾乎沒有跳出任何提醒，也不需要輸入密碼或驗證碼。

所幸妻子半夜發現手機螢幕異常亮起，查看後驚覺帳戶資金正遭轉出，近6萬元差點遭盜走，夫妻倆立刻報警處理，最後成功攔截並追回損失。

【網友直呼太可怕 有人也遇過類似情況】事件曝光後，引起不少網友討論，有人留言表示「太可怕了」、「真的要小心」、「現在詐騙手法愈來愈高明」。

還有網友分享，同事也曾遇過類似情況，手機放在桌上充電時突然亮起，打開支付App後竟親眼看到帳戶餘額被轉走，讓人措手不及。

也有人質疑，大額轉帳為何能如此順利完成，認為金融機構的安全機制仍值得檢視。不過，也有不少人認為，真正的問題在於手機遭植入惡意程式，才讓駭客有機可乘。

【專家提醒 這些習慣一定要改】隨著手機成為民眾日常支付工具，資安風險也同步增加。專家提醒，避免手機遭遠端操控，可留意以下幾項原則：

1.僅透過官方應用程式商店下載APP，避免安裝瀏覽器跳出的廣告程式或陌生連結。

2.安裝APP時，仔細確認權限內容，不要隨意開啟「無障礙功能」、「螢幕共享」等高風險權限。

3.定期檢查手機已安裝的應用程式，若發現不明軟體應立即移除。

4.關閉免密支付功能，並將手機自動鎖定時間設定為最短。

5.定期更新手機作業系統及防毒軟體，提高資安防護能力。

專家提醒，許多詐騙並非透過破解銀行系統，而是利用使用者輕忽安裝權限或下載來源不明APP，讓手機成為駭客入侵的入口。民眾只要養成良好的使用習慣，就能大幅降低受害風險。

泰國南部陶公府22日晚間發生近年最嚴重的攻擊事件，一群武裝分子持槍掃射並投擲土製炸彈襲擊檢查站，造成5名軍人死亡及6名平民受傷。軍方今天展開大規模追緝，誓言將涉案人士繩之以法。泰國南部陶公府22日晚間發生近年最嚴重的攻擊事件，一群武裝分子持槍掃射並投擲土製炸彈襲擊檢查站，造成5名軍人死亡及6名平民受傷。軍方今天展開大規模追緝，誓言將涉案人士繩之以法。

曼谷郵報指出，這起襲擊事件中的死者包括一名正規軍人與4名志願游騎兵。（示意圖／Pixabay）泰國軍方表示，國內南部陶公府（Narathiwat）一處安全檢查哨站22日晚間被一群武裝分子攻擊。

監視器顯示，案發時槍聲大響，場面觸目驚心。據泰國公共電視台（Thai PBS）報導，攻擊前，有摩托車在檢查站周邊監控情況，並為武裝分子引路，攻擊發生時，畫面也拍到2名騎士朝周邊開槍，阻止他人接近案發現場。

另據The Thaiger報導，有摩托車在前方帶路，接著載有6名身穿黑衣的武裝分子乘坐的皮卡車隨後抵達，還有另一輛摩托車在後方掩護。武裝分子抵達後隨即朝檢查站開火，並投擲土製炸彈。

案發後，警方在距離攻擊地點約21公里的四色坤縣（Si Sakhon）發現犯案皮卡車已遭焚毀，研判嫌犯企圖滅證。鑑識人員已對車輛殘骸及案發現場採證，並調查嫌犯犯案前後的行蹤。

曼谷郵報（Bangkok Post）指出，這起襲擊事件中的死者包括一名正規軍人與4名志願游騎兵，另有數名平民受傷，其中5人已出院，10歲男童因腿部受傷仍住院，但情況穩定。

據民族報（The Nation）報導，泰國陸軍參謀長兼軍方國內安全行動指揮部（ISOC）秘書長杜昂帕帕（Gen Chaiyapruek Duangprapat）今天前往陶公府視察，並召集安全單位開會評估局勢及因應措施，要求各單位提高警戒，加強主動搜捕行動。

杜昂帕帕表示，軍方將在每個村莊及山林追捕嫌犯，「任何提供藏身處的人，及任何提供藏身地的國家，都應知道，我們將追捕他們直到天涯海角。」

他並警告攻擊者：「無論吃飯、睡覺或走路，都要小心，現在開始，你們將成為被追捕的人。」

泰國總理阿努廷（Anutin Charnvirakul）也針對襲擊事件回應。根據泰國第一新聞台（News1）報導，他今天接受媒體訪問時表示，檢查站遭襲事件「非常糟糕」，已要求軍方、警方及行政部門等安全單位加強執法、預防及情報工作。

阿努廷並表示，已明確指示安全單位，採取一切必要措施恢復民眾信心、維護社會安寧，並強調應加強警戒、增派人力，對頻繁發生的暴力事件「採取果斷行動」。

事實上，就在這起槍擊案前一天，陶公府一間警察局舊址外才發生汽車炸彈攻擊。軍方表示，歹徒將土製爆裂物藏於4公斤及15公斤瓦斯桶內，並以遙控方式引爆。

泰國南部3府包括也拉府（Yala）、陶公府和北大年府（Pattani）在過去20年因為穆斯林分離主義分子的反抗行動，騷亂時有所聞，近10年狀況較為緩解。

不過，南部3府去年頻傳平民、僧侶甚至兒童遭到武裝勢力攻擊的事件，引起各界高度重視，而昨晚發生的襲擊則是近年最嚴重的攻擊事件之一。

三商美邦人壽公布115年上半年財報自結稅後淨利為51億元，較去年同期大幅增加54億元，每股盈餘為 0.87元。115年上半年獲利亮眼主要受惠於台股大漲17,162點，提升該公司投資獲利，再加上CSM釋出貢獻穩定獲利。

三商美邦人壽公布115年上半年財報自結稅後淨利為51億元，較去年同期大幅增加54億元，每股盈餘為 0.87元。115年上半年獲利亮眼主要受惠於台股大漲17,162點，提升該公司投資獲利，再加上CSM釋出貢獻穩定獲利。（圖／三商美邦人壽）此外，因115年上半年公債殖利率上升，使得其他綜合損益項下之保險財務收益或費用產生利益約307億元，加上國內外股市上漲造成金融資產未實現獲利增加222億元，使得115年6月底淨值突破千億，一舉來到1,200億元，較115年開帳日淨值增加553億元，淨值比亦提升至8.80%。115年上半年總資產達1.66兆元，較115年初成長4.0%。

三商美邦人壽115年上半年新契約保費收入(FYP)為281億元，初年度等價保費(FYPE)為55億元，分別較去年同期成長48%及26%，在保障型商品銷售方面，115年上半年長年期健康險FYP較去年同期大幅成長50%，利率變動型壽險FYP較去年同期成長10%；而投資型商品FYP為250億元，亦較去年同期成長51%。各項指標皆顯示該公司業務穩定的成長。三商美邦人壽未來仍將不斷推出各類健康險及傷害險等高CSM新商品，並隨著銀保通路之利率變動型壽險新商品陸續上線，展望未來將可有效快速累積CSM提供穩定獲利來源。

受惠於美國經濟強勁的基本面、財報優於預期及AI相關布局，該公司整體投資績效卓越，115年上半年淨投資獲利達199億元。外匯避險因採取彈性調節避險部位及AC攤銷新制影響，整體避險成本也呈現下降趨勢，外匯價格變動準備金持續厚實，截至6月底餘額也來到380.8億元高水位，未來將更能有效平穩匯率波動對損益及淨值的影響。綜觀整體，三商美邦人壽透過靈活且審慎的操作策略，使國內外權益收益明顯增加，避險成本下降，115年上半年整體投資收益表現亮眼。

但台中市商業公會似乎不買單，稍早理事長謝豐享發表聲明，先向盧秀燕提出「6大質疑」，包含市民擔心是否吃過問題油產品？如何避免再吃到？學童營養午餐是否受污染？工商各界擔心是否有進貨？致癌問題油還有庫存？食品加工業如何購買沒問題的油脂維持生產？

謝豐享也說，毒油事件爆發至今，「我們只看到盧秀燕市長忙於卸責給中央」，甚至盧市長只積極推動「725凱道抗議活動」，痛批有時間去台北、基隆各地串聯，也去探視絕食活動，但卻沒心在第一時間來關心台中市民的健康及權益，來盡到媽媽市長應做的責任。最後謝豐享語重心長向盧秀燕喊話，「懇請盧市長，趕快專心帶領各局處動起來，解決台中市民當前的大問題。」

全球資本市場正在經歷一場深層的結構性重組。2026年，AI不再只是技術加速器，更已成為資安攻防的核心戰場，以及數位內容生產與分發的底層引擎。根據資策會MIC最新預測，AI資安已成為2026年最具策略價值的資通訊成長板塊，臺灣資安產值預估至2027年上看新臺幣749 億元，年複合成長率約11.7%；亞太影音串流市場則以逾19%的複合年增率持續擴張，在地化 AI內容的競爭優勢正進一步拉大。在此背景下，

臺灣證券交易所董事長林修銘表示：「2026年的資安威脅與數位內容市場，都在告訴我們同一件事：AI已經不是未來式，而是當下競爭力的衡量標準。臺灣有全球最密集的AI晶片供應鏈，我們也必須有與之匹配的AI原生資安企業，以及能把在地文化轉化為全球訂閱收益的數位內容公司。 若說數位影音是「內容的AI化」，AI資安則是「防禦的AI化」兩者都是2026年全球科技投資的核心命題，也都是臺灣創新板（tib-創）已有企業深耕的前沿領域。（資料照／記者師瑞德攝影）

全球資本市場正在經歷一場深層的結構性重組。2026年，AI不再只是技術加速器，更已成為資安攻防的核心戰場，以及數位內容生產與分發的底層引擎。根據資策會MIC最新預測，AI資安已成為2026年最具策略價值的資通訊成長板塊，臺灣資安產值預估至2027年上看新臺幣749 億元，年複合成長率約11.7%；亞太影音串流市場則以逾19%的複合年增率持續擴張，在地化 AI內容的競爭優勢正進一步拉大。在此背景下，能否讓具備高技術含量、高訂閱黏著度的「輕資產新經濟企業」順利進入資本市場，已成為一個國家科技實力能否全面轉化為市場競爭力的關鍵議題。

臺灣創新板（tib-創）作為其中「資本市場入口」的關鍵一環，2026年截至目前，創新板指數已累計上漲約140.4%，整體日均成交值較2025年成長約289%，市場對創新企業的關注與信心正達到近年高峰。臺灣創新板（tib-創）針對此一市場需求，以「市值」為核心評估指標，提供兼具客觀性與彈性的多元上市標準，讓軟體、AI與數位內容企業得以在達到規模爆發前，便能提前對接資本市場的長期投資資源。值得注意的是，有別於國際其他交易所將創新板塊視為次板的傳統框架，tib-創 被定位為與一般板並列的主板市場，這一制度性差異，正是吸引優質創新企業選擇臺灣的重要原因。

對此，臺灣證券交易所董事長林修銘表示：「2026年的資安威脅與數位內容市場，都在告訴我們同一件事：AI已經不是未來式，而是當下競爭力的衡量標準。臺灣有全球最密集的AI晶片供應鏈，我們也必須有與之匹配的AI原生資安企業，以及能把在地文化轉化為全球訂閱收益的數位內容公司。 若說數位影音是「內容的AI化」，AI資安則是「防禦的AI化」兩者都是2026年全球科技投資的核心命題，也都是臺灣創新板（tib-創）已有企業深耕的前沿領域。

臺灣創新板（tib-創）已有訂閱制AI資安企業掛牌。此類企業的核心特徵—九成以上的年度經常性收入（ARR）、高達三成的研發強度、以自動化AI虛擬分析師取代人工威脅分析——正是全球機構投資人在此賽道最看重的「可擴展、具護城河、抗景氣循環」的商業模式。透過tib-創掛牌，此類企業不僅取得加速國際市場布局的資本支援，更獲得以ARR成長率、研發強度等新經濟指標向全球投資人清晰溝通的制度平臺。

數位內容與新媒體產業，是2026年全球成長確定性最高的賽道之一。隨著AI推薦引擎大幅提升內容觸達效率，以及AI輔助製播技術顯著壓縮生產成本，「訂閱制 + 在地化內容 + AI 製播效能」三位一體的商業模式，正在重新定義影音串流平台的競爭壁壘。亞太地區尤為值得關注：在地語言內容對訂閱黏著度的提升效果，遠高於國際通用內容，使具備深厚在地文化積累的臺灣數位內容企業，在亞太競爭格局中擁有差異化護城河。

臺灣創新板（tib-創）已有企業在此領域取得具體成果。掛牌後，相關數位影音企業朝向「頂級內容版權庫」、「AI智能製播技術」與「多元訂閱串流服務」三大方向深化布局，展現從傳統廣電轉型至科技驅動媒體平臺的清晰路徑。

臺灣創新板（tib-創）的制度設計，正是為此轉型而生。繼「亞洲那斯達克」政策方向、打通AI 基礎建設硬體供應鏈的登板路徑後，tib-創再次揭示同一個生態系的軟實力面向：當AI資安守護供應鏈的數位邊界、數位內容將臺灣文化轉化為全球訂閱收益，tib-創正在完成從硬到軟、從供應鏈到內容鏈的完整資本市場佈局。對於國內正致力規模化與國際化發展的數位雲端、軟體、AI、生技、綠能等創新企業而言，tib-創提供的不只是一個上市管道，而是一個「創新被看見、技術被資本化、企業被全球連結」的戰略平臺。

官方數據顯示，伊波拉（Ebola）病毒疫情已經在剛果民主共和國（簡稱民主剛果）造成超過1000人喪命。官方數據顯示，伊波拉（Ebola）病毒疫情已經在剛果民主共和國（簡稱民主剛果）造成超過1000人喪命。

民主剛果的公共衛生研究所指出，國內伊波拉確診病例增至2536起，染疫死亡數突破1000例大關，達到1033人。（圖／翻攝自聯合國日內瓦新聞處官網）路透社報導，民主剛果的公共衛生研究所昨天晚間指出，國內伊波拉確診病例增至2536起，染疫死亡數突破1000例大關，達到1033人。

這次伊波拉疫情是於5月中旬宣布爆發，但專家認為，傳播感染早在那個時間點的幾週之前就開始蔓延。

此波疫情是由邦迪布焦病毒株（Bundibugyo）引起，致死率可高達40%，目前還沒有經批准的疫苗。

剛果民主共和國東北部為疫情爆發點，當地醫護人員正努力控制疫病，並面臨武裝暴力、醫療院所遇襲和物資普遍短缺的多重壓力。

鴻海（2317）第二季交出一張超出市場預期的成績單，外資圈對後市信心再加溫。瑞銀證券最新出具報告，將鴻海目標價由310元一口氣拉升至320元，評等維持「買進」不變，並強調在AI浪潮持續發威、伺服器業務動能強勁的帶動下，鴻海下半年的營運表現仍有機會繳出超乎預期的成果。鴻海股價昨（23）日勁揚6元，漲幅達2.39%，收在257.5元。

這檔老AI1業務成印鈔機 目標價喊到320元

瑞銀進一步指出，鴻海將於8月12日召開法人說明會，屆時市場焦點將鎖定在公司最新的營運展望上。該機構預期，鴻海屆時有望釋出更為樂觀的訊息，其中AI伺服器、運算平台以及零組件等業務，仍將是帶動整體營收成長的主要引擎，讓公司的成長動能得以延續。

回顧第二季表現，鴻海單季營收較上一季大增19%，這個數字不僅超越瑞銀原先預估的11%，也遠優於市場共識預估的13%，顯示AI相關需求依然火熱，整體營運表現明顯超出法人預期。

在獲利表現方面，瑞銀預估鴻海第二季毛利率可望來到6.1%，營業利益率則約為3.4%，同樣略高於市場預估的3.3%水準。這主要歸功於高毛利的雲端與網通業務占比持續攀升，目前貢獻已超過整體營收的五成，加上產品組合結構優化，也為整體獲利表現添加助力。

瑞銀認為，全球AI基礎建設投資熱潮尚未見降溫跡象，伺服器相關需求可望持續扮演鴻海未來成長的重要引擎，再加上高附加價值業務占比穩步提升，公司營運展望仍具備上修空間，因此決定將目標價調高至320元，並繼續維持正向看法。

中央氣象署表示，今（23）日20時編號第12號「未命名」（NONAME）颱風生成，並於今晚23時30分發布海上颱風警報，首波警戒範圍出爐，預計明後2天影響最劇烈。

氣象署表示，颱風中心位置23日23時的中心位置在北緯17.9度、東經125.8度，即在鵝鑾鼻的東南方約680公里之處，以每小時25轉28公里速度，向西北西進行，中心氣壓998百帕，近中心最大風速每秒18公尺，七級風平均暴風半徑60公里（西北側60公里、東北側70公里、西南側50公里、東南側60公里）。

海上警戒：巴士海峽、東沙島海面航行及作業船隻應嚴加戒備。

氣象署氣象預報中心科長劉宇其表示，明天颱風通過巴士海峽，以穩定速度朝西北西方向前進，週六來到台灣西南方海面，並在深夜至週日清晨可能從中國華南一帶登陸。週五晚間至週六整天是颱風最靠近台灣的時候，但從路徑來看，發布陸警機率較低。

劉宇其表示，明天白天颱風仍在接近，整體水氣偏少，但東半部地區到恆春半島將有斷斷續續降雨，西半部仍是多雲到晴天氣；週五晚間至週六受到颱風外圍環流影響，迎風面東半部及大台北地區要留意降雨，尤其是花蓮、屏東、恆春半島會有局部大雨或豪雨，週六南部也有局部大雨，但中部以北天氣還算穩定，預期還有焚風發生機率；週日颱風逐漸遠離，水氣仍多，南部及花東地區天氣不穩定，其他地區留意午後雷陣雨。
