中評社北京5月18日電（記者 海涵）大陸學者15日在清華大學涉台研討會上就和平統一後台灣的制度安排進行探討。學者指出，和平統一後，需在“一國兩制”框架下，通過明晰的法律甚至憲法層面，嚴格保障台灣現有的選舉、政黨、司法體系與私有制等制度及生活方式照舊不變。 這場研討會主題為“和平統一前景”，十餘位學者圍繞和平統一給台灣帶來的實際好處、兩岸協商統一的議題與條件、以“一國兩制”保障台灣現有制度和生活方式的具體安排等議題進行深入討論。 上海東亞研究所所長王海良認為，和平統一將為台灣和台灣同胞創造的制度空間、優越條件、充分協助。統一就是一個國家架構，在這個架構下，台灣制度不變，防務責任歸中央，島內警務歸台灣，對外關系大大擴展，其他事務單獨管理；生活方式不變、財產受到保護，稅收享優厚待遇。 王海良指出，統一後，台灣同胞可落戶大陸，來去自由，廣闊天地大有作為；兩岸并居，資源共享，共建家園何樂不為。以主人翁身份共襄中華複興盛舉，可享更大空間、更優待遇、更亮榮光。國家扶持台灣發展繁榮，可擴展其發展空間、改善其發展條件，并對其提供經濟補助與災變救助。 廈門大學台灣研究中心主任陳先才表示，當前台灣深陷購買力下降、人力廉價及治理效能低下等結構性痛點。和平統一能打破台灣固有的政治內耗桎梏，為其帶來切實的增量紅利與實質好處。依托大陸的超大規模市場與集中力量辦大事的制度優勢，統一不僅能有效解決台灣長期無解的南北區域發展不平衡問題，還能切實改善中下階層與青年的低薪困境。此外，統一將大幅拓展台灣的國際參與空間，未來可促成更多國際組織機構落戶台北以及更多國際賽事在台舉辦。 陳先才續指，和平統一後，需在“一國兩制”框架下，通過明晰的法律甚至憲法層面，嚴格保障台灣現有的選舉、政黨、司法體系與私有制等制度及生活方式照舊不變。在堅持“愛國者治台”的前提下，大量重用台灣現行的專業公務人員與治理人才，以高效的治理水平消除民衆對統一後不確定性的擔憂。 北京聯合大學台灣研究院教授朱鬆嶺認為，對台灣民衆而言，統一後的制度安排是否可接受，很大程度取決於三個問題：既有財產、職業、教育、醫療、社保、宗教、社團、媒體、司法救濟等權益是否繼續受到保護；現行生活方式和社會秩序是否會發生劇烈震蕩；個人自由與公共權力之間是否存在清楚邊界。保護台灣民衆權利，并非統一後的附屬議題，而是國家統一法治方案的內在組成部分。應當將政策承諾轉換為規範文本、程序機制和救濟制度。

學者：和平統一後台灣制度、生活方式不變


中評社台北5月18日電（記者 張穎齊）中美峰會15日落幕，中華戰略暨兵棋研究協會研究員、中國國民黨大陸事務部顧問李華球接受中評社專訪分析，中國大陸領導人拋出“修昔底德陷阱”議題，等同先發制人，特朗普此次訪華後，對台政策與軍售議題將出現一定程度調整。 對於未來的台海局勢，李華球認為，特朗普已透過“如果有好的‘總統’，就不會有衝突”的說法，向台灣釋放某種政治訊號，美方未來對台政策，恐怕將與2028台灣大選產生更深連動。 李華球，出生於屏東縣，祖籍四川，淡江大學國際事務與戰略研究所博士班、淡江大學中國大陸研究所法學碩士。中華兩岸與戰略協會籌備處召集人、中華戰略學會“國防戰略”研究員、美國之音海峽論談節目特約評論、中華教育文化經貿促進總會顧問、“國防大學”政戰學院教官。  李華球研判，在軍售議題上，美國可能會維持出售台灣防衛性武器，攻擊性武器則會削減。 李華球向中評社說，中國大陸領導人拋出“修昔底德陷阱”，相當高明，這並非單純學術名詞，而是向特朗普與其國安團隊施加戰略壓力，這不是要特朗普現場回答，而是讓美國整個團隊回去研究。 對於美國軍售問題，以他多年軍旅與部隊實務經驗來看，台灣確實需要自主防衛能力，但問題在於，民進黨政府近年對軍購與軍事議題過度高調，反而容易讓兩岸對立升高，他認為買武器可以，但不要一直嚷嚷、大做文章。

賴清德17日出席民主進步黨創黨40週年紀念系列活動青年座談會台北場，拉蔡英文“四大堅持”背書。（民進黨提供） 中評社台北5月18日電（記者 鄭羿菲）中美北京峰會落幕後，美國總統特朗普談台灣表態“不希望有人走向獨立”，引起綠營焦慮。面對特朗普的“新四不”，考驗賴政府是要一路“抗中”到底？還是適時放緩兩岸緊張氛圍？賴清德也急著拉蔡英文的“四大堅持”背書，畢竟今年可能還有3次“習特會”，就怕一著不慎連帶2026選舉大崩盤。 “習特會”落幕後，可大致歸納特朗普的“新四不”，包括：不希望有人搞獨立、不願派兵跋涉9500英里打仗、不當“台獨”靠山、不輕易承諾對台軍售。與“台獨與台海和平水火不容”遙相呼應。特朗普針對兩岸講了硬話，民進黨、賴清德會否還繼續“抗中保台”？ 總統府、外交部第一時間的新聞稿都強調“美國對台政策未變”，但從賴清德17日的兩個動作，不難看出綠營基本教義派非常焦急，包括賴出席民主進步黨創黨40週年紀念系列活動青年座談會台北場，立刻定義“台獨”2字是“‘中華民國’和中華人民共和國互不隸屬”、緊接著晚間發文強調“捍衛‘中華民國’現狀沒有‘台獨’問題”，但又強調堅持“‘兩國’互不隸屬”。 賴清德拉上蔡英文2021年的“四大堅持”背書，但蔡英文發表“四大堅持”時的拜登政府已經下台，如何應對早已不強調“民主價值”的特朗普政府？或者說，如何應對提出“新四不”的特朗普？ 其實，賴政府若願在政策面上趨向兩岸緩和也並非沒有階梯可下，最近的觀察點可能是兩岸觀光，大陸已落實上海居民赴金門、馬祖旅遊的政策遞出橄欖枝，而近期大陸航空也將恢復或開通兩岸直航航線，包括東方航空7月起恢復“成都飛台中”航線、春秋航空7月4日起新開“寧波飛高雄”航線、山東航空計劃7月23日至10月24日運營青島飛台中的包機或定期航線。 兩岸觀光涉及民間能否健康有序交流，雖陸委會至今仍堅持“觀光小兩會”先談，但或許只是“有沒有心”要開放的問題而已，大陸早已透過兩岸“民航小兩會”致函台灣，籲盡快全面恢復兩岸客運直航，這是賴政府應對中美關係穩定，要不要調整自己的兩岸政策的最佳試金石。 2026下半年，很可能還有3次“習特會”，包括特朗普邀請中國國家主席習近平於9月24日訪美進行國事訪問、11月大陸深圳的亞太經濟合作會議（APEC），及12月美國邁阿密的G20。賴清德若堅持“抗中”路線，難保特朗普不會再說出什麼硬話，若應對不慎，民進黨很可能在2026地方選舉滿盤皆輸。

中評社北京5月18日電（記者 海涵）大陸學者15日在清華大學台灣研究院舉辦的“和平統一前景”學術研討會探討了兩岸協商統一的議題與條件。學者指出，協商統一具有民主性、先進性、中華性特征，台灣同胞越主動、想法越多，就會越做成他們想要的樣子。 清華大學台灣研究院院長巫永平認為，統一後台灣的制度安排和香港、澳門會有很大的不同，如果拿香港、澳門的情況套用到台灣，就限制了思維和想象力。 巫永平指出，如果說統一後台灣的“一國兩制”是個籃子，這個籃子現在還沒有做出來，籃子做出來後還要往裡放好多東西。兩岸要一起來做這個籃子，一起商量往籃子裡放什麼。台灣同胞在做籃子和往籃子裡放什麼方面越主動，想法越多，這個籃子就越容易做成他們想要的樣子，就會放更多他們想要放進去的東西。 上海台灣研究所所長倪永傑表示，協商統一具有民主性、先進性、中華性特征，涉及如何統一、統一分階段設計及統一方案三大議題。“兩制”保障台灣現有制度的設想在於正確設計台灣當局政治定位，務實改造台灣政治制度、選舉制度，正確設定台灣當局的職權、義務，全面改組台軍、警察及情治系統，推行兩岸經濟社會一體化進程。 華東師範大學兩岸交流與區域發展研究所所長仇長根指出，兩岸協商統一需要注意四個重要問題：一是關於“中華民國國號”；二是兩岸可以從“治權”視角探討不同於港澳的“一國兩制”台灣選舉模式；三是關於台灣地區對外事務；四是關於台灣地區駐軍。大陸和台灣是“一中框架”內的“主權實體”和“非主權實體”，台灣地區“治權”可以比港澳更包容、更寬泛、更彈性。 中國人民大學兩岸關系研究中心主任王英津認為，“兩制”台灣方案的設計必須打破單一治理維度的思維定式，以大戰略、大視野、大格局統籌規劃統一後台灣的長遠發展，推動台灣的角色功能定位實現全面升級，從單純的“國家內部治理單元”，拓展為國家戰略重要支撑點、亞太區域治理積極參與者、全球治理重要貢獻者三重定位。 上海海峽兩岸研究會研究員包承柯認為，應該依照港澳兩地實行“兩制”的經驗，為台灣同胞在這一大家庭中生活尋求更多實際的利益。王滬寧所提出的兩岸統一後的“七個更好”是幫助台灣同胞構建和平統一新生活的出發點。 “當前世界變局加速演進，國家統一大勢日益明晰，台灣同胞與其消極觀望，不如盡早主動與大陸方面平等協商、共議統一，就相關制度安排積極表達意見、充分爭取權益。”清華大學台灣研究院助理研究員張遂新表示，和平統一以後，台灣將在國家事務中扮演關鍵角色，台灣同胞的各項權利將得到有效保障、利益福祉將得到顯著提升。

中評論壇：“習特會”後中美關係走向


5月14日上午，國家主席習近平在北京人民大會堂同來華進行國事訪問的美國總統特朗普舉行會談。（圖片來源：新華社） 中評社北京5月18日電／美國總統特朗普5月15日下午結束為期3天的訪華行程。此次中美元首會談最核心的成果，在於雙方共同確立了構建“中美建設性戰略穩定關係”的歷史新定位。在此次備受矚目的中美元首會談中，中方對台灣問題進行了極其透徹的闡述，劃出了不可逾越的清晰界限。儘管特朗普當場未公開提及“台灣”二字，引發輿論種種猜測与高度關注，但在返回美國時，他在接受與台灣問題有關的訪問時則明確表示“不希望有人走向獨立”，這既深刻反映了此次會談的成果，也揭示著在中美關係新定位下“台獨”已經愈發走向窮途末路。 第一，台灣問題乃中美建設性戰略穩定關係之基，中方的信號十分明確。 綜觀特朗普執政以來的中美元首互動，台灣問題始終是必然的重中之重，中方也再三提醒美方須“慎重處理”。但在今次“習特會”上，台灣問題的分量上升到新的高度。習近平主席強調，台灣問題是中美關係中最重要的問題。處理好了，兩國關係就能保持總體穩定。處理不好，兩國就會碰撞甚至衝突，將整個中美關係推向十分危險的境地。這些表述不僅十分透徹，而且罕見地使用了“碰撞”“衝突”“危險”等嚴厲字眼，其傳達的信號十分清晰，即台灣問題是中方不可逾越的紅線。 我們認為，中方此次對台灣問題的突出強調，可以從“兩個結合”上看。第一個結合，是要結合中美之間的其他議題來看。作為兩個大國，中美之間利益交織博弈的議題十分廣泛，從經貿、關稅、科技、金融到朝鮮、伊朗、俄烏問題等等。但中方此次嚴正指出，台灣問題絕非中美關係中的一個“通常”議題，而是決定中美關係穩定与走向的核心支柱，這個問題處理好了，其他問題就有更大空間，這個問題處理不好，其他問題免談，這是針對特朗普這種交易式政治風格提出的忠告和警告。 第二個結合，是結合雙方同意共建“中美建設性戰略穩定關係”結合起來看。這一中美關係新定位的關鍵詞在於：合作為主、競爭有度、分歧可控及和平可期。這裡的“建設性戰略穩定”，當然包括在台灣問題這一中美關係重中之重上的“建設性戰略穩定”。在會談中，特朗普回應稱，美中關係很好，願加強溝通合作、妥善解決分歧，“開啟有史以來最好的美中關係”，在得知中方立場底線後作出這一表態，實際已概括表明會在兩國關係新定位的大框架下處理台灣問題。

中評社北京5月18日電（記者 余東暉）美國專家指出，特朗普是否決定對台140億美元的軍售，將影響今年9月中國領導人對美國的回訪，從而影響未來幾個月中美關係的走勢。 在華府智庫史汀生中心在北京“習特會”後舉行的研討會上，該中心中國項目主任孫韻認為，此次訪問主要是設定一個中美關係新的框架，具體成果並沒有宣布，有待今後一段時間陸續公布。 孫韻表示，對於“戰略穩定”這個詞，雙方是有共識的，甚至是魯比奧更早提出來的。但其具體內涵，有很大的各自解讀的空間。“建設性戰略穩定關係”更多著眼於權力轉移過程中如何做到“和平共存”，是一種更多著眼於兩極的框架。 孫韻指出，今後幾個月，中美關係的最大變數將是特朗普是否決定對台140億美元軍售。因為這將影響到9月份中國領導人將對美國進行的回訪。而領導人之間能否保持互訪將對中美關係的走勢產生重大影響。

美專家：是否對台軍售影響中美關係未來走勢


中評社台北5月18日電（記者 張穎齊）中國國民黨內路線之爭，中華戰略暨兵棋研究協會研究員、中國國民黨大陸事務部顧問李華球接受中評社專訪分析，國民黨主席鄭麗文正試圖走出一條穩陸美的路線，塑造具國際格局的領導形象。但內部的路 線分歧仍形成不小亂流。 解析國民黨內路線之爭，李華球表示，國民黨前主席朱立倫、前中廣董事長趙少康、台中市長盧秀燕等人，都對未來大位有所盤算，因此國民黨內部不可能完全平靜，尤其趙少康具有高度政治能量與媒體影響力，朱立倫也仍保有相當政治企圖，至於盧秀燕則積極拉高自身國際與兩岸層級，不再只是地方首長格局。 李華球，出生於屏東縣，祖籍四川，淡江大學國際事務與戰略研究所博士班、淡江大學中國大陸研究所法學碩士。中華兩岸與戰略協會籌備處召集人、中華戰略學會“國防戰略”研究員、“國防大學”政戰學院教官。 李華球向中評社說，盧秀燕日前訪美與軍購議題操作，就是希望塑造具有國際與戰略視野的政治人物形象，讓外界認為她不只是台中市長，而是有更高政治企圖。鄭麗文目前雖獲部分黨內人士支持，但也同時面臨不少雜音與壓力，國民黨不是一言堂，親美派與親中派之間仍存在不同聲音。 他強調，軍購之亂源頭在於，這次美國對台軍售發價書中，包含部分攻擊性武器，大陸方面高度在意，台灣社會並非所有人都支持軍購，軍購背後代表兩岸關係進一步走向對立甚至衝突的可能性。 他指出，鄭麗文近期提出“和平、繁榮、發展之鏈”的概念，其實就是在強調“沒有和平，哪來繁榮”，這也是目前國民黨內部主流兩岸論述方向。 “國民黨目前的路線，可從兩岸、選舉與國際三方面觀察。”李華球說，首先在兩岸路線上，鄭麗文主張和平、繁榮、安全，並不斷強調兩岸交流的重要性，兩岸之間本就有深厚歷史與血緣連結，“兩岸一家親”未必要天天掛在嘴邊，但這是客觀存在的事實。

社評：中美默契共管台獨風險 大勢不變


中評社台北5月18日電（記者 黃筱筠）中美北京峰會落幕，中方強硬表態“‘台獨′與和平水火不容”，特朗普則強調“不希望有人走向獨立”。反對“台獨”成為中美共識，在這樣的情勢之下，賴清德或民進黨還要強推“抗中保台”走激進路線嗎？這張牌恐怕推不了，就算賴還想持續往激進路線走，美國會坐視不管嗎？但要賴改變兩岸論述，在綠營“抗中”氛圍極強的狀態下，賴很可能進退兩難。 特朗普訪華後接受福斯電視台專訪，對台灣講了大白話。第一時間府方回應美方對台政策沒有改變，這是只抓住特朗普的一句話，但細看專訪內容，話講得非常直白，連台灣都沒有名字成為“一個地方”。還說台灣很小，中國非常非常強大，也再度提到美國距離台灣9500英里。 府方也聽懂特朗普的話，只是避重就輕。第一時間回應內容，從過去稱“中華民國台灣”或台灣是一個“主權獨立的國家”，變成“中華民國”是一個“主權獨立的國家”，還強調持續貢獻區域和平與穩定，致力維護兩岸現狀，一直是賴清德向來的主張，試圖拉回維持現狀。 民進黨中國部也提出三點：一、美國對台政策沒有改變；二、美中競爭本質沒有改變；三、中國的作為就是在破壞現狀。並強調，民進黨政府的兩岸政策始終明確一致，就是維持現狀。 但實際上現狀已經改變，尤其特朗普訪華之後的專訪，相信台灣人民都聽得懂，也看得懂。但民進黨發言只一味怪罪中國大陸，對於特朗普態度的轉變，卻不敢正視，甚至一句重話都不敢說。 最現實的是，面對中美重新定位台灣議題，特朗普直接表態“不希望有人搞獨立”，民進黨對抗中國大陸態度要轉變嗎？賴清德再強打“抗中保台”效果如何？但賴清徳可能從“抗中保台”轉向嗎？可能聽進去在野黨建議廢除“台獨黨綱”嗎？依照賴性格，可能性不大。

中評社彰化5月18日電（記者 方敬為）中國國民黨彰化縣長選舉提名過程引發黨中央與地方扞格，彰化師範大學公共事務與公民教育學系教授劉兆隆接受中評社訪問表示，這對黨主席鄭麗文無疑是領導統御上的考驗，不只與地方隔閡的問題，從軍購條例版本爭執開始，黨內部的雜音不斷，年底縣市長選舉表現，將是鄭麗文穩定領導地位的關鍵。若版圖萎縮，恐怕面臨逼宮等政治風險。 劉兆隆，政治大學政治學系博士，曾任香港中文大學訪問學者、台灣文官學院特聘講座等。 對於鄭麗文在國民黨內地位穩定性，劉兆隆認為，雖然鄭赴中國大陸國共交流後，順利促成國共領袖會談，創造不少聲量，但近期從藍營內部對軍購條例版本的爭執，一路延燒至地方層級的彰化縣長選將提名爭議，都在在突顯出黨中央領導方向與基層脫節的現況，若無法解決，鄭麗文未來的領導阻礙可能有增無減。 劉兆隆認為，鄭麗文目前最大的政治危機在於“缺乏整合地方諸侯”的能力，導致國民黨中央與地方藍營勢力的隔閡極深，即使鄭麗文6月份試圖透過訪美行程來尋求突破並鞏固領導核心，但在地方亂象頻傳的當下，以及年底九合一選舉逐漸加溫，此趟外交行程成效有待觀察。 劉兆隆表示，不少藍營基層質疑，鄭麗文上任以來只將重點放在對外路線的塑造，但大部分的選民對如此“高大上”的議題無感，鄭的作法被質疑不夠接地氣，且也未顧及地方藍營的觀感。 此外，他說，鄭麗文的對外路線已在黨內引發了“親美派”與“兩岸派”之間的分歧，不僅未能凝聚共識，反而點燃了雙方陣營的對立。鄭麗文應設法將焦點轉移至經營與地方的關係，尤其是強化年底九合一選舉相關布局。否則，除非能在訪美的過程中有重大的斬獲，不然外交效應的加分恐怕有限。

中評社高雄5月18日電（記者 蔣繼平）年底高雄市長選戰由藍委柯志恩對決綠委賴瑞隆，藍綠高雄市長參選人17日不約而同都拚組織戰，雖然不斷隔空叫陣，但近期以來的攻防似乎都未能讓選情熱起來。不過綠營輔選戰隊成形之後可能會有進展，藍要突破需柯志恩主動出擊才能漸入佳境。 賴瑞隆17日號召百餘名里長在高雄市區成立“里長後援總會”，柯志恩則在高雄市原縣區的路竹區舉辦首場地方見面會。柯志恩現場喊“要讓民進黨輸掉高雄，才會真正反省及知道人民的心聲。”賴瑞隆則喊出“‘中央′有賴清德支持、陳其邁市長也有很大機會去‘中央′，未來地方與‘中央′連成一線，高雄會有下個黃金十年。” 目前高雄藍綠陣營除了政策交鋒、政治議題攻防外，火似乎還沒點起來。不過綠營近日可能會有變數，譬如，民進黨在台北市提名綠委沈伯洋參選市長，還有民進黨推年輕世代的綠委黃捷參選高雄市黨部主委，“中央”到地方的輔選戰隊開始成型。 反觀，高雄藍營的火一直燒不旺、點不著，問題可能在於柯志恩的競選步調，雖然跑很多行程，但自己辦的活動少，變成到處“點蠟燭”，導致效果出不來，這次舉辦首場地方見面會，看未來是否能夠漸入佳境，把基層熱情燃起來。 其次，高雄藍營基層也頻頻反應柯志恩需要扮演好“桶箍”的角色，從去年就看到極力推崇國民黨前“立法院長”王金平擔任操盤手，但目前尚未看到整合前主席吳敦義、“立法院長”韓國瑜等人在高雄的團隊、勢力、支持者們。 另外，高雄需要團結所有在野陣營的力量，才有辦法扳倒長期執政的民進黨。但民眾黨目前陷於提名議員參選人內亂之中，民眾黨創黨主席柯文哲半年說要“長住高雄”也未實現，高雄也沒有鋪陳“藍白合”的氛圍，白營的力量也使不上力。

‘GLOBAL INTEREST’: Taiwan is a guardian of stability in the region, and defending the ROC’s status does not equate to pursuing ‘independence,’ the president said

The meaning of Taiwanese independence is that “Taiwan is not part of the People’s Republic of China [PRC]” and that “the Republic of China [ROC] and the PRC are not subordinate to each other,” President William Lai (賴清德) said yesterday.

Lai made the remarks at a youth forum for the Democratic Progressive Party’s (DPP) 40th anniversary, and comes after US President Donald Trump warned against Taiwanese independence.

Trump, who wrapped up a state visit to Beijing on Friday, said in an interview that “I’m not looking to have somebody go independent.”

Sovereignty is the foundation of statehood, Lai said, adding that without Taiwan, there would be no ROC, as the ROC and Taiwan have become inseparable.

Without sovereignty, there would be no democracy, he said.

Regardless of how the international community refers to the nation, all terms refer to the 23 million people of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu, he said, expressing hope that efforts would be made to safeguard the nation’s sovereignty and democracy, and take care of its people.

Lai also talked about Taiwan’s democratic pioneers and liberal academics — Free China’s co-founder and publisher Lei Chen (雷震), Yin Hai-kuang (殷海光) and Fu Cheng (傅正), who he said sought to use the idea of a “democratic China” to counter “communist China.”

However, after the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) government imposed martial law on May 20, 1949, Lei and others began advocating for the interests of Taiwanese and the nation’s long-term development, he said.

He summarized those into three major propositions.

First, the pioneers believed any attempt to “retake the mainland” was futile and that core national policies should not be based on unrealistic goals.

Second, they supported allowing the formation of new political parties to provide oversight of the government.

Third, Lei proposed that the nation’s name be changed to the Democratic State of China-Taiwan (中華台灣民主國), a state distinct from mainland China.

Those propositions aligned with A Declaration of Formosan Self-Salvation (台灣人民自救運動宣言), a manifesto by Peng Ming-min (彭明敏), Hsieh Tsung-min (謝聰敏) and Wei Ting-chao (魏廷朝) in the 1970s, he said.

The establishment of the DPP on Sept. 28, 1986, was the culmination of the goals of party politics and democratization that Taiwanese society had pursued for decades, he said.

Regarding the goal of creating a state distinct from China, he said that the DPP National Congress in 1991 had proposed drafting a new constitution and establishing a “Republic of Taiwan,” in accordance with the ideas advocated by the pioneers.

However, the Resolution on Taiwan’s Future (台灣前途決議文), passed by the DPP National Congress in 1999, is the guiding principle of the party, he said.

The resolution declares that Taiwan is an independent sovereign state, whose name is the ROC, and that the ROC and the PRC are not subordinate to each other, with any change in the “status quo” to be decided by Taiwanese, he said.

He also brought up the “four commitments” touted by former president Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) in her Double Ten National Day speech in 2021.

The Taiwanese government and its people “are committed to maintaining a free and democratic constitutional system; ensuring that the ROC and the PRC will not be subordinate to each other; resisting annexation or encroachment upon Taiwan’s sovereignty; and guaranteeing that the future of the ROC is decided by the will of Taiwanese,” Tsai said.

Whether through the DPP’s Resolution on Taiwan’s Future or Tsai’s “four commitments,” these principles represent the policies pursued by the DPP and its government, Lai said.

Later yesterday through a post on Facebook, Lai outlined five key points after a national security briefing earlier in the day on Trump’s meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平).

The five key points were: Taiwan serves as a guardian of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait and the wider region; China is the main source of regional instability and is attempting to alter the “status quo”; defending the ROC’s status does not equate to pursuing “Taiwanese independence;” security cooperation and arms sales with the US are crucial for regional stability; and Taiwan is a core global interest, with peace in the Taiwan Strait non-negotiable.

“We have also noted that the US government, including President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, have repeatedly reaffirmed that Washington’s long-standing policy toward Taiwan remains unchanged,” he said. “I want to express my gratitude to the US government for its ongoing support of Taiwan and its commitment to peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.”

ROC not subordinate to PRC, Lai says


RESILIENCE:  Although the door to the world is closed, Taiwan built its own stage to showcase its healthcare advancements, foreign minister Lin Chia-lung said

Minister of Foreign Affairs Lin Chia-lung (林佳龍) yesterday said he arrived in Geneva to attend activities Taiwan is staging in the country to coincide with the World Health Assembly (WHA).

Lin is the first Taiwanese foreign minister to visit the Swiss city during the annual gathering.

The minister wrote on Facebook that he was joining Minister of Health and Welfare Shih Chung-liang (石崇良), members from Taiwan’s medical community, overseas Taiwanese and representatives from the nation’s diplomatic allies in bringing Taiwan to the world.

After arriving in Geneva, he and Shih attended a forum held by the European Federation of Taiwanese Healthcare Associations, and a banquet hosted by the health ministers and permanent representatives of Taiwan’s allies.

They met with Palauan Vice President and Minister of Health and Human Services Raynold Oilouch, as well as Eswatini Minister of Health Mduduzi Matsebula at the banquet, Lin said.

Although Taiwan once again did not receive an invitation to the WHA this year, it has not failed to show up whenever global public health requires its presence, he said, adding that the foreign and health ministries collaborated to launch the first-ever “Taiwan Smart Medical & HealthTech Expo” in Geneva this year.

The expo features outstanding teams from Taiwanese healthcare institutions and enterprises, and showcases the nation’s advancements in smart healthcare, artificial intelligence applications, medical technology and humanitarian assistance, Lin said, describing the expo as a very innovative initiative with distinct Taiwanese characteristics.

“Although the door to the world is closed, Taiwan did not stand still, instead, we built our own stage to showcase our professionalism, creativity and resilience to the world,” he said.

“For Taiwan, our allies are like family. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs continues to promote the ‘Diplomatic Allies Prosperity Project’ through integrated diplomacy — combining healthcare, public health and talent cultivation cooperation to help our allies build more resilient health systems,” he added.

The WHO was established to make health a fundamental human right for everyone, so there is a significant gap in global health security as Taiwan is being excluded, Lin said.

Taiwan will continue to strive for meaningful participation in the WHO, the WHA and other international organizations, and contribute to global health through its professionalism, actions and goodwill, he said.

Meanwhile, members of several Taiwanese and Taiwanese-US civil groups yesterday in Geneva called on the WHO to include Taiwan.

Some medical professionals criticized the WHO for allowing China to influence it and said Taiwan should not be excluded from the global health system due to political pressure.

Representatives of the civil groups said they would continue to strive for Taiwan’s meaningful participation in the WHO and its related mechanisms.

Democracies should tackle China’s infiltration of the UN system, as it is not only an issue for Taiwan, but a risk for all democracies, Foundation of Medical Professionals Alliance in Taiwan director Lin Shih-chia (林世嘉) said, urging nations to join forces to prevent Chinese authoritarian forces from infiltrating international cooperation mechanisms.

North American Taiwanese Medical Association member Simon Lin (林榮松), who has joined campaigns promoting Taiwan’s bid to join the WHO for 30 years, said he was angry and regretful that the agency has once again failed to invite Taiwan to the WHA.

“However, we cannot remain silent, nor should the strength of our international voice be weakened,” he said. “We must not yield to pressure from China and should continue to strive for international support.”

Taichung Medical Association vice president Lin Heng-li (林恆立) said there is a high level of support in Taiwan for deeper participation in the international community, and to demonstrate Taiwan’s contributions to global healthcare and public health.

China readying drone fleet: MAC

GROUNDED:  A KMT lawmaker proposed eliminating drone development programs and freezing funding for counterdrone systems, despite China’s adoption of the technology   By Chung Li-hua, Chen Cheng-yu and William Hetherington / Staff reporters, with staff writer

China has deployed attack drones at air bases near the Taiwan Strait in a strategy aimed at overwhelming Taiwan’s air defense systems through saturation attacks, the Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) said.

The council’s latest quarterly report on China said that satellite imagery and open-source intelligence indicate that the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) had converted retired J-6 fighter jets into J-6W drones, which the PLA has stationed at six air bases near Taiwan, five in China’s Fujian Province and one in Guangdong Province.

The report cited J. Michael Dahm, a senior fellow at the US-based Mitchell Institute, as saying that China has deployed more than 200 of the drones, with more than 500 aging J-6 fighter jets expected to be converted.

Rather than acting as remotely piloted aircraft, the drones would function like cruise missiles intended for large-scale strikes against Taiwan, the US or allied nations, the report said.

Japanese satellite imagery showed J-6W drones deployed alongside J-16 multirole fighter jets in what analysts described as preparations for high-intensity air combat, the report said.

The deployment pattern suggests the J-6Ws are intended to operate in coordination with J-16s in unconventional warfare roles, carrying out saturation strikes and decoy missions without interfering with frontline fighter aircraft, it said.

In a high-intensity conflict scenario, the strategy could significantly strain Taiwan’s air defense capabilities, stockpiles of interceptor missile and overall battlefield resilience, the report said.

In addition to frontline deployments near the Taiwan Strait, China has also stored hundreds of aging aircraft at Baofeng Airfield in Henan Province as reserve inventory that could be redeployed forward if necessary, it added.

The report described the arrangement as a flexible logistics system, combining “forward deployment and inland reserves.”

Meanwhile, a special defense spending bill proposed by the Executive Yuan originally allocated NT$335 billion (US$10.62 billion) for drones and counterdrone systems, including plans to procure 211,990 drones of various types and 1,320 suicide drone boats.

The proposal also included plans to purchase integrated “soft-kill” and “hard-kill” drone countermeasure systems, as well as 635 portable anti-drone systems.

However, the opposition-controlled Legislative Yuan on May 8 passed a reduced NT$780 billion special arms procurement bill, far below the Executive Yuan’s NT$1.25 trillion proposal, with the NT$335 billion drone and counterdrone component left out.

Opposition party legislators said funding for domestic defense production and drones could instead be handled through annual budget allocations.

However, during legislative reviews of the central government’s budget for fiscal year 2026, Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Legislator Ma Wen-chun (馬文君), convener of the legislature’s Foreign Affairs and National Defense Committee, proposed eliminating several drone development budgets, including NT$507.65 million for the Armaments Bureau’s “Integrated Development Program for Advanced Unmanned Vehicle Technologies.”

Ma questioned whether the bureau had adequately explained what constituted “advanced technologies,” how the systems would be used and whether the military intended to domestically produce all categories of uncrewed vehicles.

She proposed cutting the entire budget.

Ma also proposed freezing a NT$456 million budget to procure counterdrone systems for the army, citing failed equipment testing conducted by the winning contractor in October 2025 and March this year.

Democratic Progressive Party Legislator Wang Ting-yu (王定宇), who also serves on the Foreign Affairs and National Defense Committee, yesterday criticized the KMT proposals, saying they ignored Taiwan’s defense needs, China’s military threat, international trends and the development needs of Taiwan’s domestic defense industry.

“Although parties might compete politically, national defense and industrial development should transcend partisan divisions,” Wang said, adding that weakening Taiwan’s defense capabilities would ultimately harm the country’s interests.

TOUGH TACTICS:  China has heightened military intimidation and ‘gray zone’ tactics, while using political warfare to target independence advocates, William Stanton said

China’s approach to Taiwan has moved from a position seeking peaceful development to a more aggressive and urgent stance, former American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) director William Stanton said yesterday.

His comments — made at a Taipei seminar hosted by the World United Formosans for Independence to review Taiwan’s governance under the Democratic Progressive Party from 2016 to this year — follow US President Donald Trump’s return from his state visit to China last week, when he met with Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平).

Trump initially treated Taiwan as a key strategic partner and a “card” to be used against China, so he approved more arms sales and lifted some restrictions on Taiwan-US high-level official meetings, but in his second term, he has taken a much more transactional approach, linking defense to semiconductors and economics, Stanton said.

Since 2016, the AIT has emphasized security cooperation and upgraded political and diplomatic contacts between Taiwan and the US, he said.

The US last year passed the Taiwan Assurance Implementation Act, which eased contact restrictions for US officials and Taiwanese, and supported Taiwan’s participation in international organizations, including the WHO, the International Civil Aviation Organization and the IMF, he said.

“The US basically consistently opposed any unilateral changes, either on the part of Taiwan or China, with regard to the status quo relationship,” Stanton said. “So there was a bipartisan consensus on Taiwan’s strategic importance in the Indo-Pacific region.”

However, China’s policy has shifted from peaceful development to a more assertive, urgent approach, with heightened military intimidation, such as “gray zone” warfare, with ships and aircraft near Taiwan’s territorial waters and airspace, he said.

China is also undertaking political warfare and campaigns to isolate Taiwan, emphasizing its “one country, two systems” formula as the only viable model, he said, adding that Beijing constantly links “unification” to its dream of “national rejuvenation,” he said.

Beijing is targeting Taiwanese independence advocates, including any officials deemed to be “Taiwanese independence hardliners,” and implementing a two-pronged strategy of the threat of force combined with economic incentives and “united front” activities against Taiwan, Stanton said.

The idea of forced unification is a measure of Xi’s political ambitions, he added.

At a forum — titled “Prospects for the Development of Cross-Strait Relations After the Trump-Xi Summit,” hosted by the Center for Mainland China and Regional Development Research at Tunghai University — Tunghai political science professor Lin Tzu-li (林子立) said the summit would have profound impacts on the security of the entire Indo-Pacific region and the global geopolitical landscape.

The summit covered issues such as economics and trade, technology, energy security, the Taiwan Strait, the South China Sea and the restructuring of global supply chains, reflecting an ongoing restructuring of the international order, he said.

Taiwan is in a critical strategic position in the First Island Chain and the Indo-Pacific region, and is a pivotal hub of the semiconductor supply chain, which means that maritime shipping security, security and institutional cooperation among democratic nations, accurately interpreting US-China interactions following the summit, understanding the strategic positioning of all parties involved, and deliberating on Taiwan’s next steps have become vital tasks that Taiwanese society must face together, Lin said.

China ratcheting up aggression, ex-AIT head says


Taiwan independence debate reignited as KMT challenges Lai’s stance

The Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) said yesterday that President William Lai (賴清德) should stop dodging the issue and clarify whether the People’s Republic of China (PRC) is a foreign country.

The party issued the call after Lai earlier in the day stated that the true meaning of "Taiwan independence" refers to "Taiwan not being part of the PRC" and "the Republic of China (ROC) and the PRC are not subordinate to each other."

Defending the ROC’s current status, he added, does not equate to pursuing "Taiwan independence."

Lai’s remarks came after former US President Donald Trump, who wrapped up a state visit to Beijing on Friday, warned against Taiwanese independence.

In a statement last night, the KMT cited the Constitution, saying cross-strait relations are not considered “state-to-state” relations. Former president Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九), it noted, had clearly defined the relationship as one in which the two sides of the Strait do not recognize each other’s sovereignty but do not deny each other’s governing authority.

"Taiwan is certainly not part of the PRC, yet the two sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to ’one China,’" the KMT said, adding that "mainland China is not a foreign country to Taiwan."

The party criticized the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) over its 1999 National Congress Resolution on Taiwan’s Future (台灣前途決議文), calling it

self-deception" for declaring Taiwan an independent sovereign state under the name ROC. The KMT accused the DPP of avoiding a formal declaration of Taiwan independence or the creation of a "Republic of Taiwan," while using rhetoric to mislead supporters of independence.

Founded in 1912, the ROC is a sovereign and independent nation, and its official name is the Republic of China, the KMT emphasized.

"If Lai does not want to become a ‘troublemaker’ or push Taiwan’s 23 million people to the front line of war, he should return to the so-called ’1992 consensus’ and oppose Taiwan independence," the KMT said.

The "1992 consensus refers to a tacit understanding between the KMT and the Chinese Communist Party that both sides of the Taiwan Strait acknowledge there is “one China,” with each side free to interpret what “China” means.

The DPP has never recognized the consensus.


Legislators prepare for mostly symbolic no-confidence vote

The opposition-controlled Legislative Yuan is to vote tomorrow on a rare, but largely symbolic, motion to impeach President William Lai (賴清德).

The Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) and Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) in December announced that they would try to impeach Lai after Premier Cho Jung-tai (卓榮泰) refused to countersign amendments to a local revenue-sharing law the legislature passed on Nov. 14.

The bill would have increased the allocation of public funds to local governments.

Cho’s refusal to countersign the legislation was unprecedented and constitutionally untested, and meant that the amendments would not be promulgated by the president.

KMT spokesman Niu Hsu-ting (牛煦庭) has said the executive branch’s refusal to promulgate laws passed by the legislature “distorted” the Constitution and undermined the rule of law.

Cho said that the amendments to the revenue-sharing law violated the constitutional principle of the separation of powers, and would cause “irreparable and serious harm” to national development.

Because of an ongoing deadlock at the Constitutional Court, not countersigning the amendments represented the executive branch’s “final means” to correct what it considered legislative wrongdoing, he said.

The decision did not amount to authoritarianism or executive overreach, because the Legislative Yuan still retained a constitutional check at its disposal, Cho said, referring to the legislature’s ability to initiate a no-confidence vote against the premier.

Under normal circumstances, the Constitutional Court could be asked to rule on the constitutionality of the amendments to the local revenue-sharing law, or the premier’s refusal to countersign them, but the court, which normally has 15 justices, has only eight justices, two fewer than the legal threshold for adjudication.

After the legislature rejected Lai’s justice nominees in December 2024, and in July last year, he has not submitted a new slate.

According to the Additional Articles of the Constitution of the Republic of China (中華民國憲法增修條文), a motion to impeach the president or vice president can be initiated with the backing of one-half of all lawmakers.

The motion must then gain the approval of two-thirds of all lawmakers before being sent to the Constitutional Court, which must rule in favor with the support of two-thirds of sitting justices.

While the KMT-led coalition and TPP hold a combined 62 seats in the legislature, they fall short of the 76-vote (two-thirds) supermajority required to refer the case to the Constitutional Court.

Even if the motion somehow cleared the legislature, the lack of a quorum of sitting Constitutional Court justices would present an additional hurdle.

Compared with the high threshold for impeaching the president, the Constitution makes it relatively easy for the legislature to remove the premier.

Under the Additional Articles of the Constitution, the legislature can pass a no-confidence vote against the premier with a majority of all lawmakers, forcing the premier to step down.

However, within 10 days of such a motion being passed, the president has the option to dissolve the legislature, which would trigger new legislative elections, to be held within 60 days.

The legislature has opted not to pursue this option.


Environmental advocates and supporters yesterday gathered in Taipei to voice opposition to restarting the Ma-anshan Nuclear Power Plant in Pingtung County’s Hengchun Township (恆春), while marking the first anniversary of the nation becoming nuclear-free on May 17 last year.

Lung Chang-wei (龍昶維), an educational and cultural worker from Hengchun Township, said that people living in the township have been living in fear of a nuclear incident since construction of the Ma-anshan plant started in 1978.

As lawmakers discuss potentially restarting the plant, where to store nuclear waste has not been decided, he said.

A “nuclear-free homeland” should be a universal component of intergenerational justice, Lung added.

Taiwan Environmental Protection Union chairman Shieh Jyh-cherng (謝志誠) said that the operating reserve margin for electricity had been largely sufficient over the past year.

The margin remained above 10 percent on 336 of the 364 days from May 18 last year to Saturday last week, he said, adding that it fell between 6 and 10 percent on 28 days.

The installed solar power capacity in Penghu County has risen to more than 84 megawatts, said former Green Party Taiwan secretary-general Pan Han-shen (潘翰聲), who is also a teacher at the Penghu Community College.

That is mostly enough to meet Penghu’s peak electricity demand, weather permitting, he said.

In Kinmen County, the frequency of power outages declined significantly after it built a smart power grid and increased green power use, Pan said.

Given the outlying islands’ improved renewable energy capacity, major manufacturers that have signed on to the RE100 initiative should follow such examples to set up their own renewable energy networks, he said.

The advocates also urged the government to address the problem of where to store nuclear waste.

Lanyu Yayo Community Development Association president Sinan Mavivo said the existing nuclear waste storage site was set up on Orchid Island (Lanyu, 蘭嶼) more than four decades ago without the consent of the local Tao community.

The problem has remained unresolved and severely violates the rights and welfare of local indigenous people, she said, adding that a bill to move the nuclear waste has been shelved at the legislature.

Tao culture is used as a diplomatic asset when the government seeks to promote Austronesian cultural exchanges, but Tao people’s homeland, Lanyu, is used as an expendable outlying island when the government needs to store its nuclear waste, Mavivo said.

The government is not respecting the Tao community when it capitalizes on their culture while ignoring their calls for their right to land, health and a safe living environment, she added.

Anti-nuclear waste advocates are calling on the government to keep its promises, said Wild at Heart Legal Defense Association researcher Yang Chun-yi (楊純宜), who is also a member of the Truku community in Hualien County.

President William Lai (賴清德) has said that nuclear plants would not be restarted without ensuring safety, resolving nuclear waste storage issues and reaching a social consensus, she said.

After multiple fires and radiation leaks, safety concerns remain at the Ma-anshan plant, while nuclear waste remains a problem, Yang said.

Hualien and Taitung counties tend to be targeted for nuclear waste storage because they are sparsely populated have less-developed economies, Hualien County native Chien Tzu-han (簡子涵) said.

However, the region is geologically vulnerable with frequent earthquakes, he said, adding that areas struck by a major quake two years ago were still being rebuilt.

Activists protest to oppose restarting nuclear plant


INFRASTRUCTURE INDECISION: While Nvidia’s new HQ building itself should not require as much power as a data center, the ecosystem it expects to nurture might

The Beitou-Shilin Tech Park is facing power infrastructure difficulties as the Taipei City Government and Taiwan Power Co (Taipower, 台電) remain divided over a planned substation.

The city government in February signed a deal with Nvidia to build the company’s Taiwan headquarters in the park.

Taipei secured Nvidia’s planned overseas headquarters project after resolving a stalemate involving land-use rights and terminating a contract with Shin Kong Life Insurance Co, allowing the dominant artificial intelligence (AI) processors builder to establish operations at the park.

While the project is set to begin construction in two months, the power infrastructure plan has not been finalized, as the city government and Taipower have not reached agreement, despite having held five coordination meetings.

Sources said that with substations surrounding the park already operating near capacity and lacking space to expand, Taipower believes a new substation in Wenlin (文林) is necessary.

The city government favors an underground facility, while Taipower is pushing for an above-ground design, they said.

According to Taipower, the underground option would take about nine years to complete, while an aboveground facility could be finished in roughly five years and would pose a lower flood risk, as well as better ensure grid reliability and project efficiency.

While Nvidia’s headquarters itself would not consume electricity on the scale of a large data center, it is expected that the project would attract suppliers, research centers and artificial intelligence (AI) startups to the area, significantly increasing long-term electricity demand.

To meet medium and long-term power needs in Taipei, Taipower said it plans to build a permanent and a temporary substation.

The permanent facility would house three main transformers with a combined capacity of 180 megawatts, while the temporary substation would contain one transformer with a capacity of about 60 megawatts, it said.

Prep work would take two years and the temporary facility could be connected to the grid about 20 months after construction permits are obtained, it said, adding that construction would need to begin early next year to meet the park’s initial power demand.

However, the permanent substation faces major hurdles.

The Wenlin substation is not just a standalone facility but the “power heart” of the park’s upcoming AI industry cluster, Taipower said.

The project would require approval from the Taipei City Government and Taipei City Council for land use and leasing arrangements before being submitted to the Executive Yuan, it said.

The project must pass urban design reviews, building permit approvals and construction licensing procedures, it said, calling on the city government to fully support the project and accelerate the approval process.

Other substations in Taipei are also facing opposition from locals, including the ones in Yucheng (玉成) and Huajiang (華江).

Residents near the Yucheng substation in Nangang District (南港), concerned the facility could affect health and property values, are calling for relocation.

Taipower said the relocation options are not feasible and is proceeding with a temporary outdoor substation at the original site, which is expected to join the grid on Saturday next week.

However, the temporary facility would only be able to support short-term growth in residential electricity demand, it said, adding that without a permanent substation, future urban renewal projects, rezoning developments and high-voltage electricity users could strain supply margins.

As for the Huajiang substation in Wanhua District (萬華), Taipower said it evaluated eight alternative sites, but found all unsuitable due to existing development or construction constraints.

It said it decided to proceed with an underground substation at the original site, while planning to use the above-ground area for multipurpose public facilities to reduce local opposition.

Substations are critical nodes in the city’s power network, but public communication surrounding such projects has become increasingly difficult to date, delaying multiple infrastructure projects, it said.

Taipower warned that electricity demand in Taipei is rising rapidly due to AI development, urban renewal projects and large-scale construction, urging the city government to help accelerate coordination and review procedures to prevent power infrastructure from becoming a bottleneck for urban development.

Power issue for Beitou-Shilin park hitting snarls


Samsung, labor union to renegotiate

LAST CHANCE: The head of the government’s labor relations commission is expected to join the negotiations on Monday, three days before the union’s deadline of May 21

Samsung Electronics Co and its largest labor union are to resume negotiations on Monday to avert a strike that the nation’s prime minister warned could wreak havoc on the economy.

Management and the union representatives at the world’s biggest memory chipmaker are to meet for the talks on wages and compensation, with Samsung having reported operating profit that soared on artificial intelligence (AI)-driven demand for its semiconductors.

“Along with the entire public, we earnestly request Samsung’s management and union to achieve results during the mediation tomorrow, which is virtually the last chance,” South Korean Prime Minister Kim Min-seok said in an address to the nation on Sunday. “If the strike becomes a reality, the economic damage that we have to face would be unimaginable,” he added.

The negotiations, in which the head of the government’s labor relations commission would take part, come three days ahead of the union’s May 21 deadline for an agreement, before it stages an 18-day walkout.

Kim estimated the labor action would cost up to 1 trillion won (US$668 million) for every day the Samsung chip factory is shut.

“What is more concerning is that a temporary pause on semiconductor manufacturing lines leads to months of inactivity,” he said, adding that there were worries about economic damage ballooning to as much as 100 trillion won if materials had to be disposed of due to a strike.

The prime minister signaled for the first time that the government could resort to emergency powers to prevent a strike if the parties fail to reach an agreement, while the National Labor Relations Commission conducts mediation and arbitration.

Kim said the government would pursue “all measures including emergency powers” in order to protect the national economy if the labor action threatened the economy.

Samsung accounts for 22.8 percent of South Korea’s exports and 26 percent of the domestic stock market, employing more than 120,000 people and working with 1,700 suppliers, he said.

Samsung Electronics chair Jay Y. Lee issued a rare apology at the weekend for the company’s “internal issues” causing concern.

“Now is the time to wisely gather our strengths and move in one direction,” Lee said on Saturday at Seoul’s Gimpo International Airport as he returned from an overseas trip, according a Yonhap News report. “Union members, Samsung family members, we are one body, one family,” he added.

Government-mediated talks broke down earlier this month, with management and the union unable to bridge a gap between the workers’ demands and executives’ offers.

The workers’ group is calling on Samsung to expand performance-based compensation as earnings rebound on AI infrastructure demand. Labor leaders want Samsung to scrap an existing cap on bonuses, allocate 15 percent of operating profit to worker bonuses, and to formalize the terms in employment contracts.

Samsung proposed allocating 10 percent of operating profit to bonuses, along with a one-time special compensation package that exceeds industry standards. Company executives have argued that the union’s demands would be difficult to sustain over the long term.

ASML to partner with India’s Tata Electronics

NEW MARKET: The partnership opens up India to the Dutch company, which already has a strong hold in the semiconductor market of South Korea, Taiwan and China

ASML Holding NV entered into a partnership agreement with Tata Electronics Pvt Ltd aimed at ramping up India’s goal to develop domestic chip-manufacturing capabilities.

The Dutch company’s technology would help power Tata Electronics’ planned 300 millimeter (mm) semiconductor foundry in Gujarat, according to a joint statement from the two companies on Saturday. The signing of a memorandum of understanding coincides with a visit by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the Netherlands, which is looking to deepen bilateral relations with New Delhi.

ASML, whose top customers include Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (台積電) and Samsung Electronics Co, makes lithography machines that can print intricate patterns of transistors on silicon wafers to make cutting-edge semiconductors.

Last month, it raised its sales guidance for the year as chipmakers ramp up production to meet demand from big tech companies expanding their artificial intelligence (AI) computing capacity.

“India’s rapidly expanding semiconductor sector represents many compelling opportunities,” ASML CEO Christophe Fouquet said in the statement. “We are committed to establishing long-term partnerships in the region,” he added.

The move opens up a new market for ASML, which counts South Korea, Taiwan and China as its biggest markets. For India, the partnership ties in with the government’s aim to put the country on a par with major chip-making producers by 2032.

Tata Electronics is investing US$11 billion to build India’s first 300mm commercial fab in Dholera, Gujarat. The facility is to make semiconductors for applications across automotive, mobile devices and AI segments, the statement said.

ASML and Tata Electronics would also cooperate to train talent for India’s semiconductor industry, develop a supply chain as well as research and development infrastructure to support the fabrication plant, the companies said.

Modi is on five-nation tour across the United Arab Emirates and Europe. His visit to the Netherlands comes after the EU and India entered into a free-trade agreement in January that is expected to double goods exports from the bloc to the South Asian nation by 2032.

Modi headed to Sweden yesterday, where he was to address a European business leaders’ forum alongside European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, before heading to Norway today for an India-Nordic Summit.

Modi’s final leg would be Italy on Tuesday next week, where Modi is to meet Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni — with whom he has a close friendship.


Banks’ overseas units post record-high Q1 net profits

Overseas branches of Taiwanese banks have reported NT$28.99 billion (US$918.8 million) in combined net profit for the first quarter of this year, a record high for the period and up 8.6 percent year-on-year, although their overseas units in China saw net profit decline of 19.71 percent, data released by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) showed yesterday.

The commission attributed the profit increase in banks’ overseas units to higher interest and fee income and lower bad debt charges, even though investment gains decreased due to unfavorable foreign exchange and bond market conditions.

Hong Kong remained the most profitable market for banks’ overseas units, with their combined profit in the first quarter rising 5.1 percent to NT$13.39 billion from NT$12.74 billion a year earlier, accounting for 46.19 percent of the total, FSC data showed.

Singapore was second, with NT$3.42 billion, followed by the US at NT$3.26 billion, China at NT$2.24 billion, and Japan at NT$1.67 billion, the data showed.

The commission said fluctuations in the bond and foreign exchange markets dragged banks’ combined profit in China to fall from the previous year’s NT$2.79 billion.

Meanwhile, banks’ units in countries included in the government’s New Southbound Policy reported an annual increase of 15.9 percent in combined profit to a record NT$7.51 billion, FSC data showed.

The New Southbound Policy aims to enhance trade and exchanges between Taiwan and 18 countries in Southeast and South Asia, as well as Australia and New Zealand, with overseas units in Singapore and Australia posting the largest profit increases and Vietnamese units the biggest profit decrease during the period, data showed.

By region, banks generated the most profit in Asia at NT$24.07 billion, or 83.03 percent, as they focused on the market while establishing the most branches and subsidiaries in the region, the commission said.

It was followed by the Americas at NT$3.43 billion, or 11.83 percent, and then Oceania at NT$910 million, or 3.14 percent, the data showed.

However, banks did not perform well in Europe, reporting a 6.67 percent decline in combined profit to NT$560 million from NT$600 million in the previous year, the data showed.


About a dozen Taiwanese media representatives attended a cross-strait media summit in Beijing on Tuesday organized by Beijing Daily Group, where China’s Taiwan Affairs Office Deputy Director Wu Xi (吳璽) talked about the agency’s expectations for Taiwanese and Chinese media, including being “cross-strait peacekeepers” by exposing “Taiwan independence separatist activities.”

“Taiwanese independence separatist forces” spread false information and malicious remarks to incite anti-China sentiment, creating cross-strait confrontation and seriously undermining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, she said, urging media on both sides to “expose the harmfulness and danger of Taiwanese independence activities and external interference.”

Wu’s expectations include pushing the idea of “Chinese culture” by sharing stories of the “shared bloodline” to inspire younger generations to be proud Chinese, promoting cross-strait integration and development, telling stories of cross-strait kinship and instances of integrated development and to push the curated narrative of China’s “unstoppable great national rejuvenation” by recording the “historical mission.”

The Mainland Affairs Council condemned Beijing for urging Taiwanese media to expose “separatist” activities and reminded Taiwanese media that assisting China to target Taiwanese or collaboration with the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) infiltration of Taiwan’s democracy would be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

While the cross-strait media summit was ostensibly a platform for exchanges between media professionals in China and Taiwan, Chinese media are directly controlled by the state and do not have press freedom in the democratic sense, so the summit could only serve as a venue for Beijing to issue instructions and guidelines on how to support “united front” operations in the media.

In the Reporters Without Borders’ (RSF) annual World Press Freedom Index released last month, China’s press freedom ranked 178th out of 180 nations, while Hong Kong continued its decline down to 140th since Beijing imposed a national security law in 2020. It said that China believes “the media’s function is to be the party’s mouthpiece and to impart state propaganda.”

As Taiwanese become more wary and resistant to Chinese state propaganda about the “benefits” of unification with China, the “glory” of being Chinese and sharing the CCP’s ultimate goal of a “great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation” through its own media, China has pivoted to find proxies or local collaborators in Taiwan to help “rebrand” its narratives.

Beijing hopes to integrate Taiwanese media into its propaganda efforts, and last week’s summit is a clear display of its “training course.”

It asks Taiwanese media to “play their part” by describing those who reject China’s unification and want to protect Taiwan’s independence and peace as “provocateurs, peace saboteurs and warmongers.”

At the same time, they were asked to support a whimsical narrative of “kinship, peace and prosperity” through carefully selected soft news stories, cherry-picked to persuade Taiwanese that “accepting the CPP regime and Chinese identity” is the only option for a safe and better future.

Taipei First Girls’ High School teacher Alice Ou (區桂芝) sparked a backlash after saying she supports “zero arms procurement” and that “peace will come when Taiwanese acknowledge they are Chinese.” Ou defended her remarks as free speech and the interview was later broadcast by Chinese state media.

Her comments reflect what Beijing hopes to achieve — reshaping Taiwanese views on sovereignty, security, peace and war. “Peace” has become a central theme in China’s “united front” narrative toward Taiwan, while downplaying the cost: surrendering Taiwan’s democracy, sovereignty and freedoms.

The “peace” promised to Tibet was followed by repression, while Uyghurs in Xinjiang face systemic abuses. Hong Kong’s promised “one country, two systems” framework has also been eroded under Beijing’s tightening control.

“China’s preference is probably to have Taiwan willingly, voluntarily join them” US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in an interview, adding: “In a perfect world, what they would want is some vote or a referendum in Taiwan that agrees to fold in.”

With KMT leadership reiterating China’s narratives and calling for Taiwanese to trust Beijing — in the name of “peace,” despite China being the biggest threat to regional peace — and its lawmakers cutting national defense in line with Beijing’s wishes, if more Taiwanese let their guard down and buy into the deceptive “peace” narrative reframed by local media, then Rubio’s assumption of Beijing’s goal might play out, to the misfortune of all Taiwanese.

EDITORIAL: China seeks local collaborators


I wrote this before US President Donald Trump embarked on his uneventful state visit to China on Thursday. So, I shall confine my observations to the joint US-Philippine military exercise of April 20 through May 8, known collectively as “Balikatan 2026.”

This year’s Balikatan was notable for its “firsts.” First, it was conducted primarily with Taiwan in mind, not the Philippines or even the South China Sea. It also showed that in the Pacific, America’s alliance network is still robust. Allies are enthusiastic about America’s renewed leadership in the region. Nine decades ago, in 1936, America had neither military strength nor real allies in the Pacific and all Asia paid a price for unpreparedness. Our question at the end is, where Taiwan’s leaders, primarily its legislative leaders, believe Taiwan’s future lies. But for the time being, let’s look at Balikatan.

Certainly, flying a 22,000 kilometers round-trip from Washington to Beijing and back last week for what was barely a two-day “state visit” signaled that Mr. Trump understands better than most the global security threat from State Chairman Xi Jinping’s (習近平) China. Everything Mr. Trump does (as opposed to what he says) reflects that rebuilding America’s “comprehensive strength” before it’s too late is his top priority. In a perverse way, the millions of pounds of high explosives detonated over Iran in the past two months have concentrated Washington’s collective mind wonderfully on the urgency of rebuilding America’s munitions infrastructure (not to mention its energy, information, aerospace, and manufacturing infrastructure). A mere glance at Mr. Trump’s bandolier best explains his hesitation to expand hostilities in the Strait of Hormuz. But at the other end of Asia, missiles were front-and-center at Balikatan; refurbished Japanese Type-88s sank a target vessel in six minutes, and new US Tomahawks were launched by the US Army’s new Typhon systems. HIMARS systems were also tested, as well as the US Navy-Marine Corps Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System (NMESIS), all new for the Western Pacific.

Not to be outdone, China’s navy deployed its own aircraft carrier task force south through the Taiwan Strait on April 20, followed by a second fleet of guided missile destroyers into the Philippine Sea on April 24.

Here, let me interject a thought about diplomacy. The late Richard L. Armitage, a former deputy secretary of state, was fond of explaining that “diplomacy is the art of saying ‘nice doggie, nice doggie’ until you can find a big stick.”

Armitage’s conflicted sentiments of sweetness and stick-grabbing describe President Donald Trump’s “National Security Strategy” (NSS) released this past December 4, his US$11.1 billion arms sales approval for Taiwan of December 18, the Pentagon’s Chinese Military Power Report (published on Christmas Eve), and the Department of War’s National Defense Strategy (NDS) released January 23, 2026. These illuminate how Mr. Trump approaches the Taiwan issue. As I read it, the new Trump NSS reflects a new urgency about the fragility of neglected sectors of America’s military and strategic power and therefore eschewed angry fulminations against adversaries like China. Language in the January NDS was even more subdued regarding China. That’s the “nice doggie” part.

Mr. Armitage was channeling Theodore Roosevelt, America’s revered 26th president (1901-1909), who counselled: “Speak softly, but carry a big stick.” TR probably would not have considered many Trumpian outbursts as “speaking softly,” but Mr. Trump is all warm and fuzzy when it comes to China. “Speaking softly” also includes the barely noticed Pentagon “China Military Power Report” which was issued during a long Christmas vacation and then immediately eclipsed by a series of events on the day after New Year which sucked the oxygen from the news cycle. But the “Pentagon Report” also catalogued China’s super-sized military and naval might. That report, unobtrusive as it was, persuaded all US policy-makers of the urgency for a “big stick.”

This year’s “Balikatan” was a big stick. Its 2026 iteration of combat maneuvers in the Philippines and along the South China Sea involved over 17,000 troops from at least five nations (depending upon how one counts), who participated in 18 days of tactical missile launches, live-fire, drone warfare, cyber warfare, island defense training, communications and headquarters/combat unit coordination. About 10,000 troops were American, around 5000 were Filipino, and the third-largest force at Balikatan was the 1,500-person Japanese contingent. About 400 Australian ground troops joined American allies for maritime air assault and counter-landing live-fire rehearsals.

For the first time, in place of its normal delegation of embassy military attaches, Canada dispatched an RCN anti-submarine frigate, a light infantry battalion, special operations, cyber, military police and combat medics. Likewise, for the first time, New Zealand sent 70 military personnel, including a light infantry platoon — instead of observers. Australia has always been a robust participant in Balikatan with some 400 ground troops. For the first time, France’s “Pacific Theater Command” (Commandement pour le Pacifique — CPP) assigned 20 general staff officers to the Balikatan headquarters “to strengthen interoperability with allies and partners in the region.”

And, also for the first time in post-war history, Japan’s combat Ground Self-Defense Forces (GSDF) joined in combat maneuvers overseas. Japan’s 1,400-strong contingent was the third largest after the Americans and the Filipinos. The JSDF presence leant weight to Prime Minister Takaichi’s assertions on November 7, six months ago, when she first assumed the premiership, that China’s use of military force against Taiwan would likely constitute “a survival threatening situation” to Japan. She was specific. “If battleships are used and a naval blockade involves the use of force, I believe that would, by any measure, constitute a situation that could be deemed a threat to Japan.”

This remark prompted China’s Consul General in Osaka, the incontinent Mr. Xue Jian (薛劍), to demand her “filthy neck” must “be cut off” (or words to that effect — I don’t read Japanese, but I think “勝手?突??????????首?一瞬?躊躇???斬????????。?悟?出??????” was the way he put it). Alas, Mr. Xue’s choice of words — particularly his cutthroat use of the character “斬” — did not have the intimidating effect he intended. Xue’s overly negative endorsement of the Japanese leader, coupled with President Trump’s enthusiastic approval a few months later, helped propel Mme. Takaichi to a landslide parliamentary victory on February 8, giving her Liberal Democratic Party an unprecedented post-war super-majority. Japan’s voters approved.

One hesitates, after 81 years, to remind anyone that this is the first time Japanese military units have engaged in live-fire artillery, small arms, and anti-ship missiles in the Philippines since World War II. But when leaders of the Philippines welcome troops from Japan onto Philippine soil in an effort to help deter China’s might, one can say the world has truly changed. Communist China in 2026 is emulating Imperial Japan of 1936, with all of old Japan’s arrogance but none of its hastiness.

Most Taiwan citizens should be heartened by Balikatan 2026. Balikatan’s success demonstrated that Taiwan has strong and committed friends in the region willing to intervene against China’s threats. Despite Balikatan, however, Taiwan’s political opposition, which now controls the disposition of the nation’s defense budget, has curtailed Taiwan’s defense acquisitions from the US and cut the cabinet’s defense request by a third — a move the US state department last week termed “unhelpful stalling.”

The State Department sourly added that “further delays in funding the remaining proposed capabilities are a concession to the Chinese Communist Party.” Concession to the Communists, indeed! By alluding to Chiang Kai-shek’s (蔣介石) days of “Patriots shall never concede to brigands” (漢賊不兩立), the state department is signaling that the opposition’s pro-China leaders do not seem to be on democracy’s side. Some of Taiwan’s opposition insist that both sides of the Taiwan Strait share Chairman Xi Jinping’s (習近平) vision of a “great rejuvenation of the Chinese race”; some protest that “Taiwan does not want to be the next Ukraine.” If so, one must ask who in Taiwan benefits from the “great rejuvenation of the Chinese race”? Who benefits if Taiwan is the next Hong Kong?

I’ll discuss future US defense sales, grants and assistance to Taiwan in my next column.

Local travel gems that you never heard about neveheardogofabout

The Chinese Communist Party last month announced 10 “preferential measures” for Taiwan, including pushing for the full restoration of direct cross-strait passenger flights. Taiwan boasts a long list of exciting local destinations that local tourists have yet to discover.

Taiwan is experiencing a tourism deficit, with the number of people traveling abroad exceeding those visiting Taiwan by more than 10 million. In 2024, the tourism industry sustained an estimated tourism deficit of NT$709.8 billion (US$22.5 billion), which is unacceptable. The reason for the shortfall was that Taiwan’s wonderful scenic spots are unfortunately being overlooked.

Not long ago, I joined a tour to Miaoli County’s Shenghsing Train Station (勝興車站) as well as Longteng Bridge (龍騰斷橋), also known as Yutengping Bridge (魚藤坪斷橋), which was organized by the Taichung branch of the National Taiwan University Alumni Association. Rail bike rides on the railroad tracks going through the broken bridge area were an eye-opener to me, which I never saw until I reached my 80s.

I was deeply moved and wondered how such a unique tourist attraction remains unknown. It is a real shame.

The more-than-a-century-old Shenghsing Train Station in Miaoli County’s Sanyi Township (三義) is the highest-altitude station in Taiwan. The railroad line features several tunnel clusters connected in a line, creating a beautiful multilayered scene as one tunnel leads into another. Up to four people can ride together in golf cart-like rail bikes.

I also took a tour of Changhua County’s Shetou Township (社頭), organized by the Rotaract Club Taipei last year. With a population of 45,000, the area remains largely unknown. For global travelers, many of the socks that protect their feet when traveling over mountains and rivers might have originated from the small township, where people weave quietly in central Taiwan. During the peak years of Taiwan’s sock industry, Shetou’s socks once earned the country more than US$230 million in foreign exchange every year.

With about half of its residents working in the sock industry, Shetou is often praised as the “Kingdom of Socks.” As a rhyme goes, Shetou has three things in abundance: guavas, socks and sock company chairmen. Visiting the township felt fresh, interesting and unforgettable.

Taiwan boasts numerous must-see destinations for tourists, not just the most famous scenic spots such as Sun Moon Lake or Alishan. Domestic tourists should take advantage of such attractions, given many advantages to promoting local tourism.

For the nation, more domestic tourism could assist with reducing the tourism deficit; at a more local level, it could bring much-needed economic benefits to local communities. Finally, it could cut holiday expenses and reduce the financial burden on families.

Chou Tien-chen ousted in Thailand Open semi-finals

Taiwan’s top male badminton player, Chou Tien-chen, on Saturday bowed out in the men’s singles semi-finals at the Thailand Open after losing in straight games to Thailand’s Kunlavut Vitidsarn.

The world No. 6 Chou, seeded fourth at the Super 500 tournament, lost to the world No. 2 Thai 21-7, 21-19 in 53 minutes. The victory improved Vitidsarn’s head-to-head record against Chou to 3-5.

Chou, 36, trailed throughout the opening game after the score was tied 2-2. His relatively passive approach allowed the 25-year-old Thai to capitalize on Chou’s defensive clears with powerful smashes while committing few unforced errors.

The Taiwanese veteran appeared more aggressive in the second game, and took leads of 3-2 and 7-6 before Vitidsarn responded with a 5-0 run and never trailed again.

After falling behind 14-8, Chou rallied to cut the deficit to 20-19 before Vitidsarn converted his third match point.

Despite the loss, Chou still recorded his best result in a Badminton World Federation World Tour event this year. The only other event in which he reached the semi-finals this year was in the Asia Championships last month.


The Philippines said it has asked the country’s Supreme Court to allow it to arrest former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte’s chief drug war enforcer to stand trial in an international tribunal.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) last week unsealed an arrest warrant against Philippine Senator Ronald dela Rosa, accusing him along with Duterte and other “coperpetrators” of the “crime against humanity of murder.”

Dela Rosa briefly sought refuge in the Philippine Senate last week while asking the Philippine Supreme Court to stop an ongoing attempt by government agents to arrest him.

“By his own conduct, he has placed himself outside the protection of the law,” the government’s chief lawyer, Solicitor-General Darlene Berberabe, said in a filing that asked the court to dismiss Dela Rosa’s petition. “Until he submits himself to lawful authorities, he must be deemed a fugitive from justice and should not be allowed to seek any relief from the courts.”

Dela Rosa’s current whereabouts were unknown.

The Philippine Department of Justice on Friday said the ICC warrant would only be served once the Supreme Court resolves Dela Rosa’s petition — unless he tries to flee abroad, in which case he would be detained.

The court made no immediate comment.

Dela Rosa has said the ICC warrant was illegal since the Philippines pulled out in 2019 from the treaty that created the tribunal.

Berberabe said that withdrawal from the treaty “does not relieve a state party from cooperating in proceedings already initiated before the ICC.”

The ICC launched an examination of the Philippine drug crackdown in 2018.

The bloody campaign, launched by Duterte after being elected president in 2016, left thousands dead, human rights monitors said.

記者閔文昱／綜合報導

時代力量黨主席王婉諭17日晚間在臉書發文，針對美中「川習會」後，美國總統川普一句「對台軍售是很好的談判籌碼」引發外界對「美國六項保證是否鬆動」的疑慮提出看法。她坦言，自己聽到這句話時心裡也「沉了一下」，畢竟台灣安全不該被拿來交易，但她強調，近期社群上對六項保證的討論，「其實是大家誤會大了」。

王婉諭回顧歷史指出，1982年時任美國總統雷根提出「六項保證」，背景正是華府與北京協商《八一七公報》，當時美方原打算逐年減少對台軍售，是台灣政府強力爭取後，才換來相關承諾。她強調，六項保證從來不是美國單方面送給台灣的禮物，而是台美雙方政治力量共同塑造的結果。

她進一步說明，六項保證包含未設定終止對台軍售日期、不會要求台灣與中國談判等內容，而《台灣關係法》中提到的「防禦性武器」，其實也隱含一個重要前提，就是台灣本身必須具備自我防衛決心，美國提供的是支持與補強，而非代替台灣承擔安全責任。

點名藍白砍軍購 轟「把台灣之盾砍到坑坑洞洞」

對於近期在野黨質疑美方態度，王婉諭也直接點名民眾黨主席黃國昌與國民黨立委賴士葆。她表示，兩人近日都對川普談話表達「震驚」，但若回頭看近幾個月立法院發生的事，就會發現相關言論根本前後矛盾。

她指出，行政院原提出最高上限1.25兆元的國防特別條例，卻遭在野黨杯葛長達半年，最後還被砍到剩7800億元，包括戰場感知系統、無人機及強弓飛彈等項目都遭刪除，「等於把完整的台灣之盾砍到坑坑洞洞，盾不成盾」。她更透露，美方曾對此表達「令人失望」，直言在外交語言中，已經屬於相當強烈的訊號。

「台灣安全不能只寄望美國」

王婉諭認為，第一個讓台美合作默契出現裂痕的，其實不是華府，而是台灣國會。她批評，在野黨一邊刪減國防採購，一邊又對美方重新考慮軍售表達震驚，「實在讓人看不懂，到底是站在什麼立場說話」。

最後，她強調，台灣安全從來不能寄託在「美國會一直挺我們」，而是取決於台灣是否願意展現自我防衛決心。她呼籲，賴清德政府應再次提出國防特別預算，爭取民眾支持，同時朝野也應一致對外清楚表達「兩岸互不隸屬」立場，透過實際行動讓世界看見台灣守護民主與和平的決心。

臺中連莊3比1力退雲豹飛將　寫例行賽主場24戰不敗神話

▲臺中連莊例行賽主場24戰全勝。（圖／臺中連莊提供）

記者蔡厚瑄／綜合報導

台灣職業排球聯賽17日進行例行賽最終戰，由臺中連莊主場迎戰桃園雲豹飛將，兩隊同時也是季後賽對手，提前交鋒，雙方歷經四局激戰後，臺中連莊最終以25比22、25比20、30比32、25比18，總局數3比1收下勝利，寫下例行賽主場24戰不敗神話。

首局整體在攻擊、發球、攔網展現十足火力，「大將軍」施琅更有兩次發球直接得分，兩位黃金左手吳宗軒、漢佳得分持續進帳，迅速以25比22搶下。次局連莊站穩領先後，後半段替換莊哲育、宋柏霆上場，場上節奏持續穩定發揮，最終對手發球失誤出界，臺中連莊25比20率先聽牌。

進入第三局，蘇厚禎、莊哲育、宋柏霆先發登場，嘗試新陣型為季後賽做足準備。開局與對手雲豹飛將你來我往，拉鋸至中後段，此時連莊再度走馬換將，薩蘭迪、吳宗軒重回場中，可惜兩隊激戰至 Deuce，連莊30比32丟失一局。第四局連莊火力在線，吳宗軒雖在起跳攻擊後抽筋倒地，宋柏霆隨即替補上陣，更發出強力ACE球，持續擴大領先差，最後以25比18守住主場勝利。

此役替補上場的宋柏霆，賽後談到第四局臨時再度被換上場時表示，其實自己在比賽途中就已經有提前做好準備。「宗軒一開始就有說小腿有一點不舒服，所以我那時候就有先準備好，隨時要幫忙接下後面的比賽。」他也提到上場後就是專注做好教練團交代的事情，全力協助球隊穩住場上節奏。

面對即將到來的季後賽，宋柏霆也談到球隊目前的調整方向，「現在的目標就是先專注通過雲豹這一關，因為他們其實沒有那麼好打。」他表示，球隊目前也持續針對季後賽做好準備，「我們會專注每一顆球，不會太急，就是一分一分慢慢來，先把重心放在雲豹身上。」

曾祥銘傷退後全隊挺身　伊斯特例行賽最終戰5局逆轉天鷹

▲臺北伊斯特例行賽最終戰逆轉台鋼天鷹。（圖／臺北伊斯特提供）

記者蔡厚瑄／綜合報導

臺北伊斯特17日在北市大天母體育館迎來本季例行賽最後一戰，與台鋼天鷹上演一場近三小時的五局大戰。雙方整場攻防節奏緊湊、多拍來回不斷，數次精彩來回球引爆全場歡呼，場上氣氛持續沸騰。儘管第三局末球隊遭遇突發狀況，中間手曾祥銘一次落地時不慎受傷退場，打亂原先輪替節奏，但臺北伊斯特沒有被意外擊倒，第四局開始重新整隊，最終以25比22、22比25、23比25、25比16、15比12，局數3比2逆轉擊敗台鋼天鷹，收下這場精彩的例行賽最終戰勝利。

首局雙方開賽就展現高強度對抗，比分一路緊咬，臺北伊斯特在關鍵分處理更加成熟，率先搶下首局。不過第二局、第三局台鋼天鷹逐漸找到節奏，雙方你來我往，多次出現高張力來回球，比分始終難以拉開。第三局尾聲更出現令人揪心的一幕，曾祥銘在一次落地時不慎受傷，無法繼續比賽，球隊緊急換上陳冠銘接替上陣。突如其來的變數影響場上節奏，臺北伊斯特最終以23：25讓出第三局。

不過進入第四局後，臺北伊斯特展現驚人韌性。全隊沒有因傷兵而陷入低潮，反而將士氣轉化成更猛烈火力。替補上陣的陳冠銘迅速融入比賽節奏，全隊攻擊、防守與攔網全面提升，開局便掌握主導權，最終以25比16強勢扳平戰局。決勝第五局雙方依舊纏鬥不休，但臺北伊斯特在關鍵時刻把握住每次得分機會，最終收下這場高張力勝利。

▲臺北伊斯特。（圖／臺北伊斯特提供）

個人表現方面，高偉誠持續扛起進攻重任，全場攻下全隊最高26分，包含22次成功攻擊及4次攔網得分，成為球隊最穩定火力來源；洪榮發同樣繳出亮眼表現，全場進帳15分，多次在關鍵時刻挺身而出，在攻擊端有效分攤火力壓力。

除了進攻端有所發揮，防守端同樣是球隊逆轉的重要關鍵。自由球員范鍾坪圻全場多次飛身救球，成功延續原本看似已結束的攻勢，一次又一次將球救回場內，串聯起臺北伊斯特的防線與反擊節奏。正是這些不願放棄的防守回合，讓臺北伊斯特在多次拉鋸戰中取得優勢，也讓全場球迷一次次起身喝采。

這場勝利不只是例行賽最後一戰的句點，更像是臺北伊斯特本季精神的縮影。面對傷兵、逆境與比分落後，球隊依然沒有低頭，而是用團隊力量與韌性撐過考驗。在全場球迷見證下，臺北伊斯特用一場蕩氣迴腸的逆轉勝，為例行賽畫下精彩句點。

PLG聯盟17日迎來例行賽最終戰，已提前在例行賽封王的桃園璞園領航猿，在主場迎戰新竹洋基工程，領航猿在第四節克服落後困境，靠著洋將伯朗在讀秒階段投進關鍵超前三分球，最終以98比93驚險奪勝。這場勝利不僅讓領航猿寫下本季主場12戰全勝、單季21勝3敗、勝率8成75等三項聯盟歷史新猷，賽後桃園市長張善政也親自到場，頒發上季總冠軍戒指予全體成員，完成完美的「雙喜臨門」收官。

首節雙方陷入拉鋸，領航猿雖有葛拉漢（Treveon Graham）拿7分，但首節打完仍以19比21落後給洋基工程。次節領航猿發動反擊，靠著盧峻翔完成空中接力與空手切入灌籃，加上第300顆三分球破網，一度逆轉取得雙位數領先。然而，洋基工程本土射手葉惟捷此役手感熱得發燙，上半場一人包辦17分，帶領洋基工程在半場結束時反以50比46超前。

易籃後戰況膠著，領航猿靠著中鋒丁恩迪（Amdy Moustapha Dieng）單節獨砍10分，並在第三節讀秒階段靠著陳將双切入造犯規兩罰俱中，以1分微幅超前。

末節決戰，雙方互換領先，在最後關頭，領航猿先靠著阿提諾罰球將比分追成93比93平手；讀秒階段，昨日才投進關鍵球的伯朗再次挺身而出，強投命中超前三分球。隨後白曜誠抓下關鍵防守籃板並在對手犯規戰術下兩罰中一，幫助領航猿以5分之差驚險鎖定勝局。

領航猿今日12人輪替全員得分，一哥盧峻翔展現全能身手，砍下全隊最高的19分、7籃板、7助攻與4抄截。他在第二節飆進個人例行賽生涯第300顆三分球，正式達成生涯里程碑，全場三分球8投4中，也將個人保持的生涯聯盟例行賽三分球紀錄推進至303顆。

由於領航猿明日一早便要飛往馬來西亞備戰BCL亞冠資格賽6強賽事，總教練卡米諾斯今日在調度上刻意讓所有球員分擔時間，除了因昨日跌倒身體不適的李家慷休兵外，也讓傷癒的關達祐上場尋找比賽節奏。

卡米諾斯賽後表示：「我們在比賽中嘗試了較少用的2-3區域或box in 1防守。最後關頭我們很有信心執行戰術，後面也專注於防守，這對我們準備BCL賽事非常好。整季戰績讓人滿意，之後就是全力準備BCL與PLG冠軍賽。」

今日上場15分鐘拿下8分的陳力生也指出，教練希望他在場上自信地找機會出手，今天很高興上場有幫助到球隊找到節奏。拿下14分10籃板雙十表現的丁恩迪也表示，洋基工程今日表現出色，連兩場的膠著賽事給了球隊很大的幫助，讓他們能以更好的狀態應對接下來在馬來西亞的挑戰。

洋基工程今日表現極具競爭力，陣中以小將葉惟捷表現最為驚艷，他全場三分球11投6中，狂轟生涯新高的28分，原紀錄為24分，於今年3月14日對勇士時創下；洋將庫薩斯（Mindaugas Kupsas）則貢獻14分12籃板。

新北國王今日在TPBL季後賽首輪第四戰順利奪下總冠軍賽門票。而在場邊，國王啦啦隊New Taipei Queens韓籍成員全恩菲誠意十足，在12小時內快閃台灣進行應援，染了一頭耀眼金髮的她，賽後開心地高喊自己是「勝妖（勝利妖精）」，並在結束應援後立即搭乘深夜航班返回韓國，準備18日韓華鷹的應援工作。

全恩菲在賽後受訪時透露，17日這場比賽是國王季後賽首輪的主場最終戰，雖然她當天在韓國韓華鷹隊也有既定的比賽行程，但「因為是季後賽最後1場主場，還是要回來。」因此她特別請託他人代班，堅持回台灣幫國王應援。結束工作後又必須立刻搭乘晚上的班機回韓國，因為18日韓華鷹還有應援班。這場在12小時內來回的「超人行程」，展現了她對國王球隊的全力支持。

除了行程滿檔，全恩菲此次亮相更換了全新造型，一頭亮麗的金髮讓她更有「女王」氣勢。她透露，原本就想染頭髮，正好藉著國王打進季後賽的機會進行大改造，配合國王隊的顏色。

面對緊張的戰局，全恩菲賽後笑著表示：「最後老實說有一點點緊張，但因為我是『勝妖』，所以我一直相信著。這樣過來，結果贏球了，真的非常非常興奮也很高興。」

被問到國王開賽不被看好卻一路闖進決賽的逆襲，全恩菲則笑說，自從她加入啦啦隊後，腦海中幾乎只有贏球的記憶，「所以其實不太知道之前狀況不好。我就覺得當然會晉級，因為大家真的打得太好了。」

至於即將到來的總冠軍賽，全恩菲也向台灣球迷表達了強烈的相聚意願。她表示，雖然韓國那邊目前已有既定的比賽行程，但因為自己非常想來，目前正與經紀團隊努力協調看看，期盼能再次來到台灣為國王隊在決賽中集氣。

記者蔡厚瑄／台北報導

台灣旅韓的25歲強投王彥程，因今年在韓國職棒KBO韓華鷹隊繳出優異表現，在當地迅速爆紅，備受韓國球迷喜愛。日前，韓華鷹官方釋出一段花絮影片，王彥程與擁有「小邱淑貞」美名的韓籍啦啦隊成員全恩菲夢幻同框，於全恩菲同時在台灣擔任職籃新北國王啦啦隊，兩人交流時顯得格外親切，影片曝光後隨即在台韓兩地網路引發熱烈討論。

在這段開球特訓的影片中，全恩菲在王彥程的指導下展現極佳天賦，第1球就投出完美弧線落入好球帶正中間，最終順利在萬人面前完成開球，談到與王彥程的互動，全恩菲表示，能有這次機會要特別感謝台灣球迷給予她的愛，而實際見到王彥程，覺得他非常親切。

全恩菲受訪時說道：「首先，無論如何他在韓國也給了我很好的機會，而這個好機會，我認為也是因為台灣的球迷們給了我很多的愛，實際見到他，他非常親切地教我，雖然只有一點點，但我也努力試著用中文，在交流對話的過程中覺得非常棒，加上他球也投得很好，所以更棒了，希望他以後在球隊裡也能非常努力、表現得很好。」

全恩菲也大方分享了兩人因語言隔閡產生的逗趣插曲。她透露，為了這次碰面，自己賽前非常努力地練習中文，沒想到王彥程一見面卻主動對她說韓文，甚至還開起玩笑。

全恩菲笑著回憶道：「首先一開始我為了想說中文，非常努力地練習後才過去，結果他竟然對我說韓文。然後我還『呃？為什麼中文……我是用中文說的呀……』結果他跟我說他不想說中文。」全恩菲坦言，她那時候聽起來就像是「呃，不要、不想看」這樣，甚至有點擔心是不是自己說錯話，後來才發現這只是王彥程在用中文開玩笑。

隨後，兩人在教學過程中更發生了令人捧腹的口誤。全恩菲透露，自己原本想請教「球要怎麼投才會漂亮？」卻因為中文不夠流利而鬧出笑話。全恩菲害羞地說：「因為我中文講得不夠好，聽起來好像變成在問『我看起來漂亮嗎？』這樣的感覺，所以雖然稍微有點搞砸、有點手忙腳亂的，但還是感受到了滿滿的內心親近感，他之後也一直誇我中文說得很好、球也投得很好。」

談到王彥程在韓國的高人氣，全恩菲指出，他不僅比賽實力優異，私下更是親切且非常有禮貌，這點也讓王彥程征服了韓國球迷的心。

「首先現在韓國的球迷們非常喜歡他，」全恩菲觀察道，「喜歡的原因是他目前的比賽實力非常好、表現很棒，而且又很親切、非常有禮貌。在韓國甚至被叫做『儒教Boy(非常有禮貌的乖小孩)』。同時大家也常提到『這是台灣來的禮物』等等，真的非常非常受到大家的喜愛。」

澄清川普暫緩對台軍售發言 美貿易代表：對台政策沒有改變

針對美國總統川普暗示可能會暫緩對台軍售的言論，美國貿易代表葛里爾強調，美國對台政策「沒有改變」。（美聯社檔案照）

針對美國總統川普暗示可能會暫緩對台軍售的言論，美國貿易代表葛里爾（Jamieson Greer）17日強調，美國對台政策「沒有改變」，試圖淡化外界對美國支持台灣立場產生分歧的臆測。

眾院議長強生重申國會堅定挺台川普聲稱將對台軍售作為與中國談判的「籌碼」，並與中國國家主席習近平討論此事，可能牴觸《台灣關係法》（TRA）與「六項保證」（Six Assurances），但聯邦眾議院議長強生（Mike Johnson）重申，國會將堅決阻擋中國奪台，並持續致力於支持台灣。

美國政治新聞媒體Politico報導，葛里爾在接受美國廣播公司（ABC）「本週」（This Week）節目訪問時表示，美國的對台政策「沒有改變」，「總統非常專注於確保那裡不會發生任何事。這就是為什麼他隨後對媒體表示：『我沒有在台灣問題上對習近平主席做出任何承諾。』而且總統將對軍售案以及何時、是否進行，保留自己的決定權。」

川普政府於去年12月批准創紀錄的110億美元對台軍售方案，但他上週表示，在與習近平於北京舉行峰會後，他正在考慮如何處理另一項重大的對台軍售案。在接受「福斯新聞」（Fox News）主持人拜爾（Bret Baier）訪問時，川普表示，這項決定將取決於中國。

川普說：「我還沒批准。我們要看看情況會如何發展。我可能會批准，也可能不會……這取決於中國。坦白說，這對我們來說是非常好的談判籌碼。這是一大批武器。」

報導指出，川普與習近平討論對台軍售，似乎明顯違反前總統雷根（Ronald Reagan）政府所做出的「六項保證」，其中包括美國不會就對台軍售問題徵詢北京意見。

川普15日在「空軍一號」上告訴記者：「我該怎麼做？告訴他因為我有一份1982年簽署的協議，所以我不想跟你談這個嗎？實際上，我們非常詳細地討論了整個軍售問題。」他表示，將在「接下來相當短的一段時間內」做出決定。

川普的言論暗示，他可能還違反1979年的《台灣關係法》。該法承諾美國將「提供防禦性武器給台灣，並維持美國抵抗任何訴諸武力、或使用其他高壓手段，而危及台灣人民安全及社會經濟制度的行動能力。」

葛里爾表示，對台軍售是中方總會提出的議題，「因此，總統正在考量如何處理此事。」

眾議院議長強生則在「福斯週日新聞」（Fox News Sunday）節目中表示，美軍和歷任總統「都在密切關注此事」，而且國會依然致力於支持台灣的獨立。

強生說：「我們對此有利害關係，全世界所有熱愛自由的人也是如此。中國不能就這樣過去奪取土地，我們將堅定且堅決地捍衛這一點——我知道國會將會這麼做。」


新竹3名美容師兼職當虛擬貨幣商人，同一時間，彰化柯姓女子在網路上結交暱稱「傑克」的騙徒，傑克慫恿柯女向3女買虛擬貨幣，面交三五二萬餘元，3女把虛幣轉入柯女電子錢包，這些都是合法交易，不料柯女又聽從傑克建議，把虛幣轉到另一錢包後，傑克即失聯，錢也拿不回來；3女辯稱合法買賣虛幣，但仍被彰化地院認定與詐團勾結、洗錢，因為檢方查扣3女的手機還原對話，發現她們與詐團聯繫，一女還大言不慚說「我身邊朋友看到我有錢賺，羨慕」、「有些人就是沒有能力賺這個錢」、「我承擔多少風險跟狀況」，認為對話就是勾結詐團的證據，依加重詐欺罪判刑3年至2年6月不等。

判決書指出，柯女在傑克指示下，2個月內分9次面交現金325萬元給3女，但泰達幣入帳戶後，柯女又在傑克指示下轉入詐團的電子錢包。3女被捕後辯稱，這是單純虛幣交易，是柯女自己事後把泰達幣轉出去，她們不認識傑克，未涉詐騙。

但3女的手機對話，顯示與詐團有所聯繫，例如，黃女說「別人看我有錢賺，羨慕，但又怕東怕西，聽到帳戶被警示就怕得要死」、「有些人就是沒有能力轉這個錢」、「所以我覺得這是我應得的，我承擔多少風險跟狀況」；石女說，若客戶說漏嘴「有人介紹」就「當場結束交易」，「不管100萬、200萬都一樣，會被他們害死」等。

法官表示，泰達幣為穩定幣，價值與美元1:1掛鉤，正常交易無需高價向陌生人面交；被告明知帳戶曾被警示仍改用現金交易，顯見知悉風險，對話紀錄更直接證明長期與詐欺集團合作。法院認定三人是共同正犯，將黃女、石女判處3年徒刑，名下352萬元現金，均視為尚未洗錢的贓款，全數沒收，陳女獲判2年6月徒刑。

大谷翔平。（資料照，美聯社）

〔體育中心／綜合報導〕道奇日本超級巨星大谷翔平以二刀流迎接開季，繳出防禦率0.82的驚人數據，一度登上國聯防禦率王，本季要一起競爭國聯塞揚獎的海盜王牌投手史基斯（Paul Skenes）盛讚「投手大谷」，並慶幸自己不是打者。

大谷翔平本季以投手先發出賽7場都繳出優質先發，累積3勝2敗，防禦率只有0.82，WHIP為0.82、三振率10.23和被打擊率為0.161，都是非常優異的成績，「投手大谷」更在最新的先發投手實力排行榜衝上第一名。

去年勇奪生涯首座塞揚獎的史基斯，本季依舊是國聯塞揚獎大熱門，本季繳出6勝2敗、防禦率1.98、56次三振、WHIP0.64、三振率10.08和被打擊率0.141的恐怖數據。

史基斯近日在美國Podcast節目《The Pat McAfee Show》中談到大谷翔平時表示：「他的投球水準大概已經是史詩級的，而且我相信他之後還會變得更強。看到身為投手的大谷，我真的慶幸自己不是打者，我絕對不想對決像他這樣的投手。」

疫情後的出國潮仍維持高檔，原本市場擔心「大家都出國了，內需應該很差」，但實際上內需並未降溫，而是出現通路移轉效應，消費從某些通路移轉到另一些通路。

全家董事長葉榮廷表示，零售業早已不是單純比商品或價格，反而像一座「綜合競技場」，出國潮也帶動消費外流，去年台灣出國人次近一千九百萬，今年還有可能破兩千萬，「內需外流對零售的影響比景氣更大」。

出國潮雖熱，但經濟部統計，今年第一季零售業營業額一點二一兆元，與去年同期相比成長百分之二點一；餐飲業營業額則達到二八四七億元、年增百分之三點八。業者分析，「錢沒有不見，只是換地方花」。

被認為受出國潮影響最大的百貨公司，首季營業額一一七○億元、年增百分之七，新光三越、遠東SOGO都表示，今年業績仍持續成長。遠東SOGO指出，全台分店總體業績逆勢成長百分之五；新光三越則說，今年第一季業績成長近百分之十五。

業者分析，這代表內需並沒有明顯降溫，也未受到出國潮影響，只是在消費選擇的偏好以及消費通路出現轉移，今年第一季，汽機車的銷售衰退百分之十一點二，但綜合零售業與餐飲持續成長，代表民生必需品與聚餐，是民眾花錢的首要選擇。

而以百貨商場來說，精品表現平平，商場內的餐飲與美妝則亮眼。遠東SOGO指出，今年美妝表現最為強勁，業績大幅躍升百分之十二。

通路業者說，今年的消費市場可說是超商、百貨餐飲續強、超市穩健，而部分量販承受壓力不小，跨境電商更為劇烈，國旅相關消費疲弱。

川習會落幕，從一開始美方宣稱必提台灣，至對台軍售是否成為交易籌碼，再到輝達執行長黃仁勳的半路加入，都讓整場川習會充滿話題。

對中共而言，川習會是再次向美方表達台獨紅線的重要場合；至於川普，依然以過去美國一貫的兩岸政策、以不樂見改變現狀的戰略模糊來作回應。川普在空軍一號上的發言固然引起各界不同解讀，但從過往的發言紀錄觀察，川普的即興發言與媒體應答，雖有個人媒體效果，但與直接落實於外交政策仍有相當距離。

雖然台海安全直接影響台灣，但在會中，雙方談論最多的還是中東戰局的發展；這也代表對川普而言台海固然重要，但伊朗局勢卻是迫在眉梢的利益危機。在這次會談中，川習二人都提到了推動荷莫茲海峽開放及伊朗去核化的共識，這也是之前川普多次對伊朗提出的要求；若能透過北京來落實，對川普來說即是可拿來宣傳的資本。此外，北京雖宣稱購買大豆與波音飛機，但距離外界預測的「大禮包」仍有不小距離，這可能也會影響到美對台軍售的發展。

川習會前有不少分析擔憂，對台軍售是否成為華府與北京交易的籌碼？川普與習近平討論對台軍售，是否違反「六項保證」，讓台灣更加危險？從會後川普的反覆發言來看，會中兩人應確有提及軍售相關議題，但美方應不會具體討論對台軍售的質與量。特別是從目前雙方公布的內容來看，北京提出的利多，與可能改變美國軍售態度的籌碼相去甚遠，若美方輕易調整，反更使川普政府陷入輿論與戰略上的風險。

這也呼應於習近平在川習會提出的「中美建設性戰略穩定關係」，雙方在貿易合作上雖有共識，彼此亦有地緣政治競爭、在安全問題（如台海）有分歧，但雙方仍有默契不造成軍事衝突。在此原則上，即便美中對軍售意見不同，但在表達立場後也不會過分干涉。雖說如此，但後續北京是否會藉由對台軍演來表達立場？頗值得觀察。川習會期間，中共雖暫無對台襲擾的明顯動作，但這是否只是暴風雨前的寧靜？或準備在五二○後發動大型對台軍演？均是我方須注意的方向。

美菲日「肩並肩」軍演結束後，中共遼寧號航艦與其護衛艦隊仍在南海逗留。山東號航艦在今年元月廿日進入榆林軍港的新乾塢後，四月還在塢中整修；從公開衛星照片中可見山東艦仍在維修捕捉鉤，因此五月底前應不會出港。另福建號雖已成軍，但電磁彈射的機組效率是否能配合共軍演訓？仍是問號，故短期內最需關注的是遼寧號的動向。

目前有消息指出，共軍持續保持大量艦船在第一島鏈內的活動；北京應是等著觀察賴清德總統的五二○談話，若有碰觸到兩岸議題紅線，即很可能結合東部戰區部隊，對台進行大型針對性演習，這也符合共軍戰區級行動半年一次的頻次。面對中共威脅，忘戰必危，我方仍須隨時做好想定與準備。

檢警發現美國預測市場網站「ＰＯＬＹＭＡＲＫＥＴ」出現年底九合一選舉賭盤，立法院法制局提出報告，面對此類新興賭博方式，法制是否足以因應有檢討空間，建議研議修法。

報告指出，有別於傳統由莊家設定賠率，該平台利用區塊鏈技術與類似訂單簿交易機制，由參與者依下注情形自動形成對賭關係，賠率即時浮動，賭客利用電子錢包以ＵＳＤＣ穩定幣投注；平台的價格變動，客觀上具民意調查外觀，一旦特定交易人透過大量虛假或偏頗的掛單行為擾亂市場，極易引發從眾效應，影響選民判斷，破壞選舉公正性。

法制局建議主管機關研議修正公職人員選舉罷免法、總統副總統選罷法及刑法，將著手下注而尚未有其他用戶與之對賭的未遂階段納入處罰，擴大選舉賭博罪行為態樣，將「虛擬空間」納入「供給賭博場所罪」處罰，並明定網路及選舉賭博罪所涉財物，具絕對義務沒收規定。

民進黨立院黨團幹事長莊瑞雄說，黨團支持研議修法，將「掛單下注、提出賭博要約」納入處罰，不能等成交才算違法，透過網路、電子通訊或區塊鏈平台提供選舉賭博服務，應視同提供賭博場所，並強化查扣、沒收涉案虛擬資產。

民眾黨團總召陳清龍說，面對新興賭博如法律有缺漏，應盡速修法。國民黨立委賴士葆質疑，單靠修法可能無法遏止，虛擬資產服務法草案仍在財政委員會審查中，應加入相關規範。

美網站開台選舉賭盤 立院籲修法


AI重點 文章重點整理： 重點一：孫安佐因涉嫌槍砲放火未遂被羈押禁見，經紀人交保後辭職引發爭議。 重點二：經紀人重讀天月發聲明強調未推卸責任，澄清拍攝內容與火槍無關。 重點三：重讀天月表示無法完全控制孫安佐行為，卸任不代表切割關係。 孫安佐因涉嫌槍砲、放火未遂等罪嫌，17日遭士林地院裁定羈押禁見。其經紀人「重讀天月」陳昱中則在偵訊後獲准以3萬元交保，並遭限制住居、限制出境。「重讀天月」交保後當場表示卸任經紀人職務，舉動遭網友質疑是在切割、卸責，甚至有人指稱「負責灌油的就是他」，讓他深夜在Threads發出4點聲明。

「重讀天月」在聲明中強調，所有偵查程序均不公開，外界所稱他在筆錄中推卸責任，根本無從得知，「何來的我筆錄推卸責任？」他表示，案發後相關人等手機皆遭警方扣押，沒有造假空間，也提醒外界勿任意散布未經證實的說法。他也表示，火槍及孫安佐家中遭查扣物品，他們事前並不清楚內容與性質，只以為那是孫安佐對生存遊戲、玩具槍的興趣，並不知道涉及改裝。

針對拍攝影片爭議，「重讀天月」進一步說明，近期合作影片皆有合約、廠商溝通、拍攝時間與交件期限，原本腳本內容只是談孫安佐過去故事，完全沒有提及火槍。他表示，當天孫安佐情緒失控，半強迫要求拍攝自己的「新改良發明」，「孫那天非常失控的半強迫並說服我們， 一定要拍攝他的發明，他新改良的，不然他不要拍，直接爆氣，而且跟我們保證絕對沒問題」，團隊基於過去拍攝經驗才同意拍攝、上片。「重讀天月」也澄清，自己這次並非製作人或導演，主要工作是陪同孫安佐完成拍攝與合約協調。

對於外界批評他交保後秒辭職是在切割，「重讀天月」表示自己已在警局、地檢署配合調查約18小時，身心俱疲，也已承擔相應責任。他坦言，這次事件讓他確認自己已無法百分之百控制、溝通孫安佐行為，過去也曾與孫安佐父親約法三章，若再出現無法掌控狀況，就不再擔任經紀人。他強調卸任不代表切割，仍把孫安佐當朋友與家人看待，只是承認能力有限，「我已經盡力了，這個叫做切割？」

國中教育會考昨天上午首節考自然科，國中教師指出，今年試題呈現「三多一沒有」特色，即文字多、圖表多、情境多，無複雜計算，圖表題占比七成。題目也結合酸雨、物體體積測量等生活與跨章節情境，強調探究實作與科學判讀能力。

自然科命題重視資料分析、閱讀理解與邏輯判斷能力。新北市永平高中教師沈文俊舉例，第四十二至四十三題以酸雨議題為例，結合報導與數據差異，引導學生分析資訊來源與可能誤差；第四十三題更要求學生推論實驗假設與觀測目的，訓練考生「獨立思考判斷與科學判讀能力」。

台北市立仁愛國中教師李美惠指出，試題也強調概念整合與應用能力，如第十八題以測量物體體積為核心概念，要求學生整合跨章節知識，包括鹽與糖可溶於水的性質，以及鹼金屬與水反應、不適合以排水法測量體積等觀念。

桃園市有得雙語中小學陳同學、復旦高中國中部學生都覺得今年題目整體難易度中間偏容易，沒有太多的綜合題，不過和昨天社會科一樣，圖表題目多，平時如果沒有多接觸這類題，答題較吃力。五福國中學生則說，題目相當重視理解與邏輯判斷，不能只靠死背，必須具備正確觀念與細心閱讀能力，才能拿到高分。

補教老師楊過表示，今年自然科圖表試題較往年少，約卅二題，往年則逼近四十題，但文字敘述試題較多，題幹需要耗費更多時間理解、素養要求也更高，對用功但文字較不敏銳或死讀書的學生，「我們比較擔憂。」他也談到，今年試題出現四格漫畫、直角坐標、立體空間圖形等，考生在各類圖表試題都要能全面掌握。

115會考自然／大量圖表考驗邏輯判斷 不能靠死背


會考英文閱讀測驗「冰島語言的存亡」題組，探討全球化與語言文化保存之間的關係，文長、重思辯，不少考生印象深刻；國中教師指出，今年英文科試題涵蓋多元文化，強調段落關聯與跨文本理解。英聽首度出現四人對話題型，文法題則具挑戰性，考驗學生是否真正理解文章內容，高分群學生較能掌握。

台南市忠孝國中教師莊筱芸表示，英語閱讀題材多元，其中「冰島語存亡」題組呈現正反觀點，考驗比較分析能力；品格教育題組則透過寓言故事，評量跨段落推論與語意整合能力。

補教老師林熹則分析，英文科出現新的命題方式，如廿八題，詢問哪個字詞「未被使用」於描述鳥類，考文法代名詞、指稱詞觀念，已銜接上未來大學學測考法，考驗學生每個字詞的指稱對象，測驗學生是否真正看懂文章中的每字每一句，要高分群學生才能確實掌握。英聽則較多隱晦表達，要考生從文字、語氣推測，和去年相比略難。

桃園市青溪國中教師許綉敏表示，今年英聽首次出現四個說話者的言談，出現在第廿一題，是一位女主播報導鐵路地下化的都市計畫，報導中街訪三位市民的看法。雖然說話者增加，但透過明確的音效與語氣設計，考生可清楚辨識不同角色，整體貼近生活經驗。

英聽也包含推論題，許綉敏舉例，第十七題透過餐廳用餐經驗，要求考生從語境推論食物油膩、服務不佳；第十八題則以網路霸凌為情境，引導學生理解角色互動與價值判斷，呼應生命教育議題，強調面對困境時的自我價值與情緒調適能力。

鼓山高中國中部學生表示，今年有些內容是平常較少準備到的方向，文法題型比重略高，「時態」題目頻率較高，較有挑戰性。五福國中考生則說，英語閱讀測驗文章沒有太過艱深難懂的內容，「閱讀過程較流暢、壓力較小」。

115會考英文／命題新穎強調跨文本理解 英聽首見4人對話


根據消息透露，雷霆當家球星亞歷山大（Shai Gilgeous-Alexander）將會擊敗約柯奇（Nikola Jokic）與溫班亞瑪（Victor Wembanyama）兩位對手，成功蟬聯年度MVP，躋身NBA歷史傳奇行列。官方將在台灣時間周一早上7點30分正式公佈。

現年27歲的亞歷山大不僅成為歷史上第14位達成年度MVP連霸的球員，也是現役球員中第5位解鎖此成就的菁英，先前曾寫下連霸紀錄的現役球員包含約柯奇、安戴托昆波（Giannis Antetokounmpo）、柯瑞（Stephen Curry）以及曾兩度完成2連霸的詹姆斯（LeBron James）。

twitter loading...

亞歷山大本季展現了無懈可擊的統治力與歷史級的穩定度，他場均狂轟31.1分、4.3籃板、6.6助攻與1.4抄截，投籃命中率高達55.3%，三分命中率為38%，罰球命中率達88%。

根據統計，亞歷山大本季沒有任何一場比賽得分低於20分，成為NBA歷史上繼張伯倫（Wilt Chamberlain）與貝勒（Elgin Baylor）之後，第3位達成單季每場比賽皆砍下至少20分的球員；他更成為自喬丹（Michael Jordan）以來，首位連續4個賽季場均得分突破30分大關的球員。

此外，這也是亞歷山大連續第4個賽季在MVP投票中高居前5名（2022-23賽季第5名、2023-24賽季第2名，隨後連續兩季奪冠）。

若以年齡來看，亞歷山大是史上第7位在28歲前累積至少兩座年度MVP的球星，前6人分別是喬丹、鄧肯（Tim Duncan）、詹姆斯、柯瑞、安戴托昆波、約柯奇，其中詹姆斯是達成3次。

twitter loading...

不僅基本攻守數據驚人，亞歷山大全方位的主宰力更體現在關鍵時刻，本季他順利將「年度關鍵球員獎（Clutch Player of the Year）」收入囊中。他在比賽最後5分鐘且分差在5分以內的關鍵階段，累計攻下全聯盟最高的175分、投進16記反超比分的關鍵進球，且關鍵時刻的正負值高達+93，皆高居聯盟第1。

他在多項數據指標中也是名列前茅，包括單場20+場次第1、總正負值第1、總得分第2、場均得分第2、單場30+場次第2以及單場40+場次第3。

在亞歷山大的領軍下，衛冕軍雷霆隊本季繳出64勝18敗的傲人戰績，連續兩季斬獲全聯盟最佳戰績，目前在季後賽更是取得8連勝，昂然邁向連霸之路。

twitter loading...

回顧歷史，過去所有曾寫下MVP連霸紀錄的退役傳奇球員，最終全數入選了奈史密斯籃球名人堂，名單包括羅素（Bill Russell）、張伯倫（Wilt Chamberlain）、賈霸（Kareem Abdul-Jabbar）、馬龍（Moses Malone）、柏德（Larry Bird）、魔術強森（Magic Johnson）、喬丹、鄧肯與奈許（Steve Nash）。

作為新時代後衛的標竿，亞歷山大如今也加入了魔術強森、喬丹、奈許與柯瑞的行列，成為NBA史上第5位多次榮獲MVP的後衛球員，確立他在當今聯盟乃至歷史洪流中的地位。

twitter loading...

這座獎盃同時也延續了國際球員在NBA的極致統治力，這已是年度MVP連續第8個球季由非美國本土出生的球員抱走，過去8年的得主分別為安戴托昆波（2次）、約柯奇（3次）、安比德（Joel Embiid），以及亞歷山大（2次），前一次由美國本土球員奪獎已經要追溯至2017-18年賽季的哈登（James Harden）。

對於雷霆隊而言，這更是球隊在過去12年內收穫的第4座年度MVP獎盃，先前分別由杜蘭特（Kevin Durant）與衛斯特布魯克（Russell Westbrook）摘得，若把出身雷霆的哈登也算在內，奧城堪稱是「當代MVP製造機」。

twitter loading...

從帶領雷霆隊歷經重建，一路衝擊至總冠軍舞台並蟬聯最高個人榮譽，來自加拿大的亞歷山大無疑已將自己的名字深深烙印在籃球歷史的殿堂之中。

NBA／史上第14人！亞歷山大連霸年度MVP 打造不朽成就


北市長蔣萬安任內捷運建設六線齊發，其中信義線東延段昨初勘結果出爐，四項缺失預計一個月內改善完成，報交通部履勘，目標六月底通車。北捷試營運優惠措施，朝區段免費方向規畫。信義線東延段全長一點四公里，通車後北捷日運量將增兩萬人次。

台北捷運信義線東延段象山站至廣慈奉天宮站昨辦初勘，初勘委員會確認擬通車路段已達可營運要件。北市交通局副局長常華珍說，昨邀集專業領域委員共十一人辦初勘檢查，分為土建、機電及營運組三組，分資料文件檢視、現場實地勘查、測試及狀況模擬演練等，經檢驗符合營運標準，不過履勘前須有四項改善，改善完成後才會報請交通部。

四項改善重點包含車站及隧道設施設備與標識標誌、站外廣場及轉乘設施、消防檢查、查證與確證報告問題。北市捷工局副局長陳景池說，站內扶手、廁所等設施完備性及標誌標識清晰度將加強；YouBike站點與公車轉乘點位置會到位，盼一個月內改善完成經委員確認通過，就報交通部履勘。

陳景池表示，信義線東延段以六月底通車為目標，因廣慈奉天宮站周邊人口密集，包含社宅、信仰中心奉天宮、信義區行政中心等，未來會搭配公車、YouBike或步行系統，整合周邊交通網絡。

信義線東延段全長一點四公里，從象山站延伸至廣慈博愛園區前，增設廣慈／奉天宮（R○一）站，開挖深度近地下十層樓，堪稱史上最具挑戰性捷運工程之一。

NBA／史上第14人！亞歷山大連霸年度MVP 打造不朽成就


美國這艘大船要轉彎了？美中元首達成歷史性會晤，美國總統川普說了許多不利台灣的內容，讓民進黨政府膽顫心驚，對今年五二○剛滿二周年的執政黨恐是一記重拳，但何嘗不是一個重新檢驗兩岸關係的契機。

美國準備轉彎有跡可循，一是川普已明確表達不支持台獨、最不需要一場九千五百英里外的戰爭，台北不要期待美國會無條件軍事支持，這些話其實就是呼應習近平的「警告」。美國轉彎第二跡象是，美方確認了中方提議的「建設性戰略穩定關係」，川普恭維習是偉大領導人，美中是兩個偉大國家，稱為Ｇ2。

這代表美國家安全戰略要改了。回溯二○一七年十一月川普首個任期訪陸後一個月，國安戰略報告將中國從合作夥伴重新定義為「戰略競爭對手」。二○一八年國防戰略報告更進一步將中國列為「首要戰略競爭對手」，開始對中國貿易戰、關稅戰、科技戰、輿論戰，全面圍堵。經過八年多的對抗，中國沒被打垮，現在不得不接受中國提議，準備把中國從頭號戰略競爭對手改為合作夥伴。

從大兩岸回看小兩岸，民進黨的「逢中必反」其實跟美國也息息相關，當年美國對中採取「首要戰略競爭對手」政策，民進黨有了美國大哥在前面圍堵遏制中國，才敢在背後加碼挑戰，民進黨不僅是「有樣學樣」，台美甚至有可能是互為表裡，分進合擊。如今世界格局大變，美國轉身就要跟頭號競爭對手合作，民進黨政府還要繼續反中、仇中，繼續衝鋒？

川習會兩周前，大陸對台遞出橄欖枝，宣布十項措施，包括罕見透過民航小兩會致函我方，希望恢復多個航點，但我方全部視為統戰糖衣毒藥，連談都不談，錯失兩岸關係可能和緩的機會，如今成為川習會上的菜單，並不為過。

中美改善關係，台灣何嘗不能從中美「四個穩定」（合作為主、競爭有度、分歧可控、和平可期）得到啟發。兩岸原本就有合作交流，也在部分經貿項目有過競爭；政治問題也曾擱置爭議、求同存異，並達成一個雙方和平發展的機遇期，這都與中美「四個穩定」若合符節。當然，改善兩岸僵局的戰略密碼，仍需要共同政治基礎，即民進黨政府須遵守「憲法」與「兩岸條例」法理架構。

所有人都看得出來，美國風向在變。民進黨政府若不能察覺，遲早撞冰山。現在民進黨最怕的不是共機艦擾台，而是美國某天突然說：「對不起，這事我們不管了。」

觀察站／美國風向在變 賴政府跟不跟？


科技部前部長陳良基在臉書透露，自己日前經歷了生死一線間的生命大搶救，所幸醫療團隊在加護病房內出動包含葉克膜、緊急插管與洗腎等各項急救手段，經十天密集救治順利穩定病情，如今他已可徒步行走。許多人被他的遭遇嚇到，紛紛留言，「大難不死，必有後福，代表國家和家庭還需要老師」。

陳良基說，從來沒有想到，只是一個自己覺得不是很嚴重的急診，居然演變成生死一線間的生命大搶救。在加護病房的前幾天，他一直處於昏迷狀態，聽家人轉述，他們是半夜被急扣回來加護病房簽署腦部掃描同意書，因為神經系統也被攻擊了，引起嚴重癲癇。

他們看到他是被五花大綁在病床。據說，當時處於多重器官嚴重衰竭，除了葉克膜之外，各種急救方法都用上了。所以，他醒來時，全身都是各種管子，被緊急插管、緊急洗腎、輸血管、鼻胃管等等。想來，昏迷期間，應該就是生命搏鬥激烈的時刻。

他兒子們也坦承，他們都覺得，可能過不了關了！很幸運，他甦醒後，似乎醫療團隊已幫他搶回生命主導權，各項生命指標不僅不再滑落，而且很快的穩定和回升。在加護病房十天後轉一般病房，一週前順利出院。剛出院的前幾天，都還得靠助行器行動，但這兩天，已可徒步在社區山邊小徑走走。

醫師說，他實在很萬幸，除了插管的喉嚨傷害需要多些時間恢復之外，其餘器官看來都可恢復。他覺得，也可能跟平日一直跟著台大EMBA門外社定期練跑，維持一定體能也有關係！

他說，他在加護病房剛甦醒時，有兩件事讓他極度恐慌。第一是，他的太太怎麼辦，他答應要照顧她一輩子，怎麼可以自己先倒下了？第二件事是，他的新書就快完成了，之前一直拖拖拉拉的，怎麼沒有多用點心，心裡很後悔。他想要做的傳承無法實現了？還好，現在他還有機會把責任做完！

許多朋友紛紛留言，大難不死，必有後福；代表國家和家庭還需要老師，上帝拜託老師要留下來；也有人這才明白原來生病了，想說一直沒看到貼文。還好上天保佑，平安渡過，「希望您永遠健康 ，期待新書發表。」

科技部前部長「多重器官衰竭」上葉克膜 甦醒時兩件事讓他極度恐慌


國內產業景氣呈現兩極化，面對不確定性，讓部分通路承壓，但消費者並不是不花錢，而是消費習慣改變，讓零售業從大採購進入到即買即用「少量多次」的時代。

通路業者表示，民眾過去的消費模式是周末去大賣場一次買齊，現在變成下班順路進超商或是超市，不夠就找外送平台補貨，這也就造成超商、超市的業績持續成長，量販卻面臨不小壓力。

業者說，台灣行動支付與超商密度極高，讓消費者購買門檻變低，經濟部統計顯示，台灣零售行動支付占比持續上升。資策會調查也指出，小額支付已大量轉向數位工具，尤其小額消費更明顯，這種付款便利性促使「想到就買、缺了再補」的微型消費。

此外，通路業者指出，近期的通膨壓力也讓民眾更傾向拆單，且現在薪水上漲有限，民眾出現心理上的「現金流控管」，形成不想一次買太多，等到促銷再買等行為，而這也會導致業者改變經營策略，例如7-ELEVEN、全家近年強化Ａｐｐ推播、集點、訂閱制等，就是要提高消費者購買頻率。

「全聯、美廉社等超市，愈來愈強調深入社區，開出社區型小店的想法就是離消費者夠近，比賣得多還重要。」通路業者也說，小包裝生鮮不管是超商或是超市，都增加單人份即食、少量組合包，這也是超市熟食區、現做餐盒快速成長的原因，像是全聯「小時達」的外送，都是因應這種趨勢推出的服務。

對於消費形態改變，量販受到的壓力較大。家樂福對此表示，旗下有量販與超市店型，還有線上購物與家速配，顧客會依據所需消費。

微型消費時代 「少量多次」當道


台股熱度不減，公股行庫放款方向也出現移轉。政府去年九月喊出要把房貸水龍頭開大，但從中央銀行公布的五大銀行新承做放款統計來看，房貸水量並未放大，消費性貸款反而升溫，行庫出現「卡房貸、愛信貸」的反差。

央行統計的五大銀行包括台銀、合庫銀、一銀、華銀及土銀等公股行庫，同時是觀察政策房貸動向的重要指標。去年九月政策鬆綁後，五大銀行新承做購屋貸款金額並未明顯放大，以最新資料來看，今年三月五大銀行新承做購屋貸款金額為五九○億元，雖較二月的三六七億元回升，但仍低於去年同期八二○億元；若把時間限縮到去年九月開始，也僅去年十二月超過六百億元。

行庫主管坦言，現在對於房貸仍顯緊縮，主要就是房市低迷，銀行不願承擔風險，也對於「沒賺頭」的房貸業務興趣缺缺。

相較之下，消費性貸款更有熱度。今年三月五大銀行新承做消費性貸款金額為八十二億元，遠高於去年平均每月約六十億元。行庫主管表示，股市熱度很高，包括信貸、周轉金額度小、期間較短、周轉速度也快，對銀行來說更有彈性。

公股銀行主管透露，近期股市熱絡，民眾借信貸、周轉金投入股市的詢問度確實提高，過去客戶是用來補買房頭期款不足，現在是想把資金拿去「做投資」，但銀行在授信上仍會看用途與還款能力。

房貸則是另一套邏輯。銀行主管指出，政府希望銀行支持自住、首購，但銀行面對的是廿年、卅年的長天期授信，還要考量房市後市、擔保品價值、不動產放款集中度及央行選擇性信用管制。

實務上，銀行控管方式也更細。行庫主管說，一般一千萬、兩千萬元房貸案件，過去常見八成貸款，如今只願意給七成、甚至六成五；若借款人收入、負債比、購屋區位或擔保品條件稍弱，銀行不必明講拒貸，只要成數壓低，民眾自然會知難而退。

卡房貸、愛信貸！公股行庫放款轉向


昨天上午會考考自然科遇地震，有四考場學校、卅九試場受影響，考場學校依規定延長作答時間，原則是「影響多久、延長多久」。全國試務會闈外辦公室指出，考英文閱讀測驗時，有三名考生偷看鄰座答案等疑似作弊行為遭記違規。

昨天上午八時四十六分南投縣埔里鎮發生芮氏規模五點一地震，全國試務會表示，共有四考場學校、卅九試場受影響，包括霧峰農工、西苑高中、新竹高中、武嶺高中等學校，延長考試作答時間約一到三分鐘。

全國試務會闈外辦公室統計，這二天會考共有二七八件違規，違規態樣以提前翻開試題本等違規共八十六件最多，其次為攜帶量角器或附量角器功能共四十五件，另有卅一件為在答案卡標示自己身分。

較嚴重違規則以損毀試題本十四件最多，另有三件英文閱讀測驗作弊。全國試務會指出，其中有考生多次偷看旁邊同學答案，也有考生被發現疑似抄襲鄰座作答內容；另一名考生在監試人員加強巡察後，仍持續瞄向鄰座答案，因此均依規記錄違規。

另外，還有一件考生抄錄答案於准考證攜出試場，以及一件考生於考試期間要求提前離場。教育部表示，所有違規案件後續將提交各考區及全國違規事件處理會議討論與確認懲處。

國民黨宜蘭縣長參選人吳宗憲明辦首場大型造勢，北市長蔣萬安將站台，訴求「宜蘭線加一」跨縣政策合作，議長張勝德、民眾黨陳琬惠也現身營造團結氣勢。民進黨林國漳昨到台北參加創黨四十周年，與青年分享台灣篳路藍縷的民主之路。

2026九合一選舉

【整理包】2026縣市長選舉藍綠白戰將點名 哪些縣市已拍板人選？

吳宗憲代表藍白披戰袍，最近勤跑基層拜會，明晚將在凱旋宴會廣場造勢，除打出蔣萬安牌，也邀來初選夥伴張勝德、民眾黨宜蘭縣黨部主委陳琬惠助講，市長陳美玲也會現身請託。

吳宗憲團隊表示，蔣萬安是宜蘭女婿，對宜蘭不陌生，「宜蘭線加一」是吳主政見之一，強調宜蘭具備宜居優勢，以跨縣市合作為核心，從交通、農業、科技和觀光四大面向對接全台資源，主張把既有北北基桃，擴大成為「北北基桃宜」生活圈。

此外，吳宗憲提出「雙科聯動」政策，考量大台北腹地有限，主張將台北「北士科」的輝達等ＡＩ產業鏈與「宜蘭科學園區」對接，推動宜蘭成為ＡＩ矽光子研發與封測關鍵基地，為宜蘭打造高科技供應鏈聚落，改善宜蘭產業結構，創造在地高薪就業機會，終結人才外流。

林國漳出席民進黨創黨四十周年「傳承四十、民主共鳴」系列活動的青年座談。林表示，過去參與野百合學運，看到民主前輩無私付出，深知「宜蘭可以更好，宜蘭值得更好」。過去宜蘭綠色執政與地方建設是全台典範，眼見家鄉光榮感逐漸消逝，要找回昔日榮耀。
