The rise of Silicon Saxony in Dresden

The rise of Silicon Saxony — Europe’s largest microelectronics and information technology association — reflects how Europe’s semiconductor strategy is moving beyond rhetoric and toward tangible industrial development. Based in the German state of Saxony and centered around Dresden, the semiconductor cluster housing major chipmakers has become a strategic centerpiece for the EU in pursuing supply chain security, electric vehicles, an energy transition and industrial digitalization.

For Taiwanese companies, Dresden’s development offers not just an access point to the European market, but a platform to diversify geopolitical risk, move closer to end customers and participate directly in Europe’s industrial policy.

Dresden’s success is built on decades of investment in microelectronics. The region is home to more than 3,600 companies linked to the industry employing nearly 80,000 people. Industry leaders such as GlobalFoundries, Infineon and Bosch generate core demand, while a surrounding network of materials suppliers, equipment manufacturers, testing providers and research institutes forms a comprehensive support base. The industrial clusters make semiconductor manufacturing no longer simply about building individual fabs, but about integrated ecosystems that combine manufacturing, research and development (R&D), talent and public infrastructure.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co’s (TSMC) joint venture with local firms in building European Semiconductor Manufacturing Co — a new chip manufacturing fab in Dresden — has further elevated the cluster’s international profile. Backed by an investment exceeding 10 billion euros (US$11.39 billion), the fab is expected to begin mass production next year. It would not use the most advanced process nodes, but technologies aligned European demand for automotive, industrial control and digital applications. What Europe is seeking to build in Dresden is a reliable semiconductor capacity capable of supporting products with long life cycles.

If Taiwanese companies view Dresden merely as another overseas production site, they risk overlooking its broader strategic value. They should position Dresden as a base from which to serve the European supply chain. Equipment manufacturers, materials suppliers, outsourced semiconductor assembly and testing providers and chip design support firms can begin by serving major local manufacturers. They can gradually build relationships with European customers before expanding into joint R&D, talent exchanges and broader market development.

For many small and medium-sized suppliers, an incremental approach like that is preferable to making large one-off investments.

Nevertheless, there are challenges, including labor shortages, energy demands, water supply infrastructure and the sheer pace of construction required. Taiwanese companies must not assume that they can simply redeploy their home experiences, but instead seek to understand local regulations, labor unions, environmental assessments, subsidy systems and how to engage with local communities.

To be competitive, companies need technology, intercultural management skills and the ability to build trust.

Moreover, resilience, regionalization and geopolitical risk management are becoming increasingly important. By combining Taiwan’s technological strengths with customer demand and European policy support, Dresden can evolve from being an overseas manufacturing site into a key platform from which Taiwan can expand its global semiconductor footprint.

The post-Cold War belief that sovereignty, international law and economic interdependence would shield smaller states from great-power coercion is steadily eroding. Across the world, major powers are once again thinking in terms of strategic neighborhoods, buffer zones and spheres of influence. Geography is reasserting itself as a central determinant of security.For Taiwan, this shift is not merely an academic debate. It is an existential challenge.Situated just 180km off the coast of communist China, democratic Taiwan occupies a position that Beijing increasingly regards as lying within its natural sphere of influence. As China’s military power expands and its ambitions grow more


AI is power-hungry  in that other way, too

If AI titans have the power to sit as equals at a G7 meeting, then the people who represent everyone else have less power

The most recent G7 summit included the leaders of seven of the most powerful countries in the world — and executives from OpenAI, Anthropic and DeepMind, who were treated like peers. Artificial intelligence (AI) companies might seem like they are fighting over only product and market share, but they are playing a much bigger game: This is a struggle for power at the highest levels.

AI companies are not shy about the scale of their ambitions. The leading labs all say they are building artificial general intelligence. Even if you do not think they could succeed, their willingness to spend hundreds of billions of dollars in the attempt is telling. The industry’s leaders issue warnings about the dangers of a power-hungry runaway AI that tries to take over the world. Their actions suggest that they understand that motivation extraordinarily well.

No company is monopolizing AI yet, but that is not necessarily reassuring. The valuations on these companies only make sense if one of them ends up a monopoly, and a company that monopolized AI might be the most powerful one in history. If none does, that means they would be competing for power with each other as well as the state. That could make the dynamics more intense, not less.

Microsoft chief executive officer Satya Nadella recently said that “there is no societal permission” for a future in which the profits from AI are concentrated in a handful of companies. Nadella was describing the economic danger. The deeper one is not who captures the profits, but who captures the power.

We have seen companies with the power of nations before. The British East India Co was chartered in 1600 and became a private corporation that governed an empire. It minted coin, levied taxes, ran courts and fielded an army of about 260,000 men, about twice the size of Britain’s own, who swore their oath not to the crown, but to the company.

It was the first company state, a corporation that was also a sovereign, answerable only to its shareholders. For more than a century it looted and ruled much of India. After winning the right to collect Bengal’s taxes in 1765, it raised taxes during the famine of 1769 and 1770, which killed at least 1 million (and perhaps as many as 10 million).

No AI company has one-quarter of a million people under arms (judging by the way drones dominate the battlefield in Ukraine, they might not need them). However, OpenAI has partnered with the defense firm Anduril Industries to counter enemy drones, and signed a Pentagon contract worth up to US$200 million last year. Anthropic and the US Department of Defense are at war over its refusal to let its models power fully autonomous weapons, even as its systems were reportedly used in the capture of former Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro.

The AI companies have not been shy about converting their economic heft into political influence. The Democratic primary for New York’s 12th Congressional District was in some ways a “proxy war” for the AI giants, with various firms or executives of firms — OpenAI, Palantir, Anthropic — supporting different candidates. In the end, AI billionaires spent more than US$29 million on the race.

The East India company would have nodded in recognition. Game respects game. In the 1770s, nearly one-quarter of the British House of Commons held its stock or drew its pay. Its power was broken eventually; after the Indian rebellion of 1857, Britain nationalized the company, and took its lands and army. However, it had ruled much of India for a century by then, and Indians had paid for it in blood and treasure.

New York’s primary was the AI power struggle breaking out into the open. On the surface, the contest was a draw for the industry: Yes, the winner (who was also endorsed by former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg, the founder and owner of Bloomberg LP) was a cosponsor in the state legislature of the AI safety bill the industry opposed. At the same time, every politician in the US knows that the industry is willing to spend millions against a candidate it does not like. You do not have to win every fight to exert your power. Fear can do its work for you.

Which brings us to the last thing that makes power so different from wealth — and back to that table in France. Power is zero sum. Everyone can become wealthier. Not everyone can become more powerful. The AI titans represent themselves and their investors. If they have the power to sit as equals at a G7 meeting, then the people who represent everyone else have less power.

Right now, the AI CEOs are at the table by the invitation of world leaders who see them as too important to leave out. However, the invitation could one day run the other way. If that is not the future we want, the time to limit the industry’s power is now. Carbon-based intelligence’s quest for power can be just as dangerous as its silicon progeny’s.

Calling workers back to office is about bosses’ ego

If you want the highest odds of maintaining a remote or hybrid work arrangement, make sure you are not working for a narcissist.

In the post-COVID-19 pandemic era, bosses have used all of corporate America’s favorite buzzwords — innovation, collaboration, culture, mentorship, productivity, performance — to rationalize calling workers back to the office five days a week. Cringy jargon aside, some of those justifications are reasonable and legitimate.

However, in a newly released research paper, Marissa Shandell, Courtney Elliott and Adam Grant of the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School find that a boss’ objection to working from home is more likely to be driven by ego, and a thirst for control and status than it is anything else. The authors also detailed their findings in an op-ed for the New York Times that is worth reading.

Their work tracks with a broader phenomenon I have been following for the last year and a half. Amid AI angst and sweeping layoffs, the balance of power has swung back to managers, and they are hungry to reassert and flaunt it in ways both big and small. As I have written, bosses — narcissistic or otherwise — are in their command-and-control era, doing far less cajoling and convincing, and much more demanding.

The re-emergence of do-as-I-say management has translated into suppressing employee dissent, expanding worker surveillance and slashing the benefits that were meant to attract and retain talent when the job market was tight. It has also led to a host of new rules and requirements — about how employees can express their personal views, even when they are off the clock; about working in the office five days a week; and about not only what employees should wear, but also how they should act.

The paper, aptly titled” “Worship me at the office altar: Why narcissistic leaders resist remote work,” has the receipts to prove what many workers on the other end of the tightening leash have suspected: That often these decisions have very little to do with improving the business and everything to do with bosses flexing their power. The researchers found that narcissism was the only characteristic that dependably predicted resistance to remote work. The bigger the ego, the more an executive desired authority and acclaim, and, in turn, the more that boss wanted workers to get their butts back in their office desk chairs.

In one of three studies the researchers conducted, they examined the CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, using the size of their paychecks and signatures, and photos in their company annual reports to measure their egos — as someone who has fielded multiple phone calls over the years from a panicked public relations person when their CEO dislikes the photo that was used in one of my pieces, I can confirm that this is a solid indicator of narcissism. The higher the marks, the more likely they were to be chairperson of their own companies and join the boards of others — a contingent that made the most derogatory comments about working from home.

Why do egocentric leaders oppose remote work so much? Existing studies have suggested that narcissists are drawn to the digital world, because they can better curate and more broadly disseminate their image. However, in this case, the researchers found that remote workplace interactions deprive them of what they crave most — power and status. It is harder for self-important bosses to refuel their “narcissistic supply” of attention and affirmation when they do not have their usual tactics at their disposal (interrupting, speaking loudly, making intense eye contact or calling spontaneous meetings). The paper cites studies that found that on video calls, employees are more likely to flinch at the sight of their boss’ face and also more likely to look bored or tired than they are to show reverence.

Employees can also exert their own new-found form of control by ignoring a team message or deleting an e-mail. They can turn off their cameras on Zoom. Signifiers of workplace status, such as office size and seating charts, evaporate.

“This puts narcissistic leaders at risk of falling off the authority balance beam, as the balance of power tips too far toward employees,” the researchers wrote.

Demanding that workers return to their desks five days a week is a way for threatened bosses to reassert their dominance.

In case this needs to be said, clearly not every executive who wants workers back at the office five days a week is a narcissist. However, the study helps us understand why return-to-office mandates have become such a powerful proxy of post-pandemic corporate life. The debate is not just about whether you are logging in from your home or your office. More than anything else it is about power — who has it, who lost it and the lengths they would go to reclaim it.

The price of staying cool in Europe

The early, intense heat wave sweeping across Europe is testing which systems can still cope — and forcing difficult questions about whether to endure more extreme temperatures or invest billions in adapting to a hotter future.

The world’s fastest-warming continent is not approaching a single climate tipping point, scientists say. Instead, Europe is crossing a cascade of smaller thresholds all at once: the temperatures at which classrooms close, hospitals come under strain, power grids falter, farm soils dry out and rivers become too warm to cool nuclear reactors.

Temperatures in Europe have risen by about 0.56°C per decade over the past 30 years, more than twice the global average. Against that steadily warming backdrop, familiar weather patterns such as a slow-moving ridge of high pressure can intensify into a deadly heat dome that researchers say is likely the most severe ever recorded.

Of course, large patches of the world experience even hotter climates, including in developed countries. However, Europe’s infrastructure, much of it constructed centuries ago, was not built to withstand modern heat waves.

On parts of the continent this week, the heat has made it uncomfortable to sleep soundly, ride a train, attend a concert, work in a factory, take a test, or have a pint while watching FIFA World Cup matches. Some of these activities have been limited, canceled or banned amid punishing temperatures.

“We are going to need to make some very significant changes in the way we live,” University of Reading climate scientist Ed Hawkins said.

Europe’s governments and businesses are getting an early look at how much money it would take to retrofit daily life for hotter summers.

Heat waves in 2022, when London experienced its first 40°C temperature, cost the city ￡1.5 billion (US$1.98 billion), the mayor’s office said in a new report this week. Upgrading the roughly 1 million homes at high risk of overheating would cost somewhere between ￡9 billion and ￡45 billion — a scale of spending that would require private investment.

Electricite de France SA is planning to spend 8.7 billion euros (US$9.91 billion) by 2040 for improvements across its 57 nuclear reactor sites, along with hundreds of dams across the country, to ward off heat waves, droughts, floods and severe storms. Those upgrades include new cooling towers for some reactors forced to limit generation when rivers used to ferry heat from the plant get too hot.

Scientists say those costs reflect a broader shift ahead. Europe is no longer just responding to hotter days, but would need to redesign for hotter nights, warmer waters and drier soils.

Rising temperatures fuel weather feedback loops that can “charge up” drought by increasing evaporation, causing soils to dry faster and aridity to worsen, said University of Edinburgh climate scientist Gabi Hegerl said.

“A question that is hard to address is what is the likelihood that severe extremes trigger changes that are hard to reverse,” she said, citing damage to vegetation, worsening wildfire conditions, and the loss of ice and permafrost.

That is why the comparison with Europe’s historic heat waves only goes so far. Phil Jones, a climate scientist who began his career during the UK’s historically hot, dry summer of 1976, said today’s heat is more humid and less likely to ease overnight.

“The nighttime minimums are much higher, making sleep more difficult,” he said.

In the UK and France, where many homes lack air-conditioning, that turns heat from an outdoor hazard into a 24/7 health risk.

Hawkins said that adaptation would increasingly mean active cooling in homes, workplaces, schools and hospitals — a shift that would raise new questions and tensions about cost, energy demand and inequality.

Those in poorly insulated homes, apartment blocks or neighborhoods with little green space would face the harshest risks, even as wealthier households are better able to cool themselves, he said.

That makes Europe’s heat challenge physical and political, he said.

The danger is that adaptation remains piecemeal while its heat problems become even more systemic.

“Our society and the infrastructure on which it’s based is built for the climate of the past,” Hawkins said. “It’s not built for the climate of now, and certainly not built for the climate of the future.”


Two charged in NBA gambling probe

GAME FIXING:  A supermassive bloom in sports betting in the US was followed by a wide-ranging investigation into game fixing and other gambling-related crimes

Former NBA players Malik Beasley and Edward Davis, sports agent Paolo Zamorano and three others were charged by US federal prosecutors in an expanding illegal sports-betting probe.

Beasley agreed with his former teammate Davis to underperform or overperform in games, leading insiders to make bets on how many points or rebounds he would collect in a game, the US said in an indictment unsealed Monday in Brooklyn, New York.

The case emerged from a long-running federal investigation into the sports industry that has already led to charges against NBA player Terry Rozier and MLB players Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz.

“Bribery and insider betting schemes like this one involving former NBA players and a current NBA player agent who exploited inside NBA information for profit erode the integrity of American sports and victimize the sports-watching public,” US Attorney Joseph Nocella Jr said in a statement.

Beasley’s lawyer, Stephen Haney, said he has seen the indictment and expected Beasley to surrender to federal authorities by Wednesday.

“We look forward to vigorously defending Malik against any of these charges,” Haney said on Monday.

Prosecutors allege that Davis, 37, and Beasley, 29, conspired to alter Beasley’s performance during four Milwaukee Bucks games in the 2023 season. Using inside information, Davis and others bet “hundreds of thousands” of dollars on Beasley’s expected performance, the US said.

“Beasley allowed himself to be bought and altered his gametime performance to line pockets of Ed Davis and his other co-conspirators,” FBI Assistant Director in Charge James Barnacle Jr said in a statement.

The allegations come as legal sports betting has exploded since the US Supreme Court’s 2018 decision clearing the way for states to authorize sportsbooks.

The American sports betting industry wagered almost US$150 billion on sports in 2024, up more than 23 percent from a year earlier, according to the American Gaming Association, as betting on individual player performances has become increasingly common.

The NBA has faced scrutiny over gambling’s impact on the game after permanently banning former Toronto Raptors player Jontay Porter for violating league gambling policies in 2024. The league declined to comment on the charges.

Prop Bets

The federal probes, involving NBA and MLB players, generally focus on how players were willing to tweak their performance on so-called prop bets on specific categories such as rebounds or pitches that would not necessarily affect the outcome of a game.

Beasley, who earned tens of millions of dollars playing for multiple NBA teams, ran up millions of dollars in gambling debts, prosecutors said. Davis, who was teammates with Beasley during the 2020-21 season with the Minnesota Timberwolves, extended him several loans and served as his “gatekeeper” during the scheme, the US said.

While Beasley agreed to underperform in categories such as scoring or rebounding, some bettors lost during the Bucks game against the LA Clippers on March 10, 2024, the US said. While the betting line was 3.5 rebounds, he collected his fourth board in the final second of a game that was not close, prosecutors said. One conspirator mistakenly placed bets on the “under” bet, which lost, the US said.

The US probe became public in October when law enforcement authorities dramatically arrested Rozier and Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups in a pair of gambling cases. Rozier was accused of passing confidential information on NBA lineups and injuries to gamblers while Billups was accused of participating in a rigged high-stakes poker game.

Weeks later, the two MLB pitchers were accused by prosecutors of telling bettors what kind of pitches they would throw in specific instances.


STRONG ON PAPER: Asian countries have the financial muscle that often translates to strong soccer programs. So why have their World Cup outings been so lackluster?

In the early 2000s, Sepp Blatter, then head of FIFA, talked about where he saw the sport going.

“In Asia you have more than half the world’s population,” he said. “The future of soccer must be in Asia.” With a clear link between finances and on-pitch success, it was a common sentiment for the growing region, and as the World Cup opened in Japan and South Korea in 2002, many said the new century would see a winner emerge from this part of the world.

This year’s World Cup, the biggest ever, featured a record nine Asian teams, up from six in the previous tournament. After Japan was punched out by a late goal from Brazil on Monday, it only leaves Australia, which only joined the Asian Football Confederation in 2006. The contrast is stark with Africa, with nine out of the 10 nations that qualified advancing to the knockout stages, even minnows such as Cabo Verde.

There is no single explanation for the Asian teams’ underwhelming performances. The region has a lot of failings to face up to, if the future of soccer is to belong to it.

There is no shame for Japan, saddled with a difficult group and a tough draw against Brazil. Many are tired of the low expectations that overlook the progress made on the pitch in favor of a focus on fans and players cleaning up stadiums. Japan has done most things right over the past three decades to build their grassroots game and develop a pipeline of elite players.

Against Brazil, familiar failings were on display for a country that has qualified for every tournament since 1998 but never won a knockout game. Manager Hajime Moriyasu made a baffling decision to go ultra-defensive after Japan’s best 45 minutes of soccer. And when his counterpart Carlo Ancelotti switched tactics at half-time, Moriyasu retreated instead of playing to his team’s strengths. Ancelotti has won five Champions Leagues, while Moriyasu has never managed outside of Japan, and when Brazil’s additional-time winner came it was with a sense of inevitability. It is the third tournament in a row that Japan has blown a lead in a knockout tie.

So long as it is content to be the tidying-up team, it can not go far. What Japan needs now — as well as a new manager — is the self-confidence of Shohei Ohtani, who before the World Baseball Classic final in 2023 urged his teammates to stop idolizing the opposing US stars.

Perhaps it could use a fraction of South Korea’s refusal to accept mediocrity. Outgoing manager Hong Myung-bo is facing death threats and public recriminations, with President Lee Jae Myung expressing his “utter bewilderment,” as the team crashed out of a relatively easy group. The vitriol is over the top, but the underperformance should force a reckoning with the soccer administrators; Lee said that “favoritism and cronyism” were to blame, amid an ongoing police investigation into allegations of interference in Hong’s appointment.

The central Asian states that increasingly dominate the region’s soccer politics face different issues. Iran can be forgiven for its disappointing showing, given the war and the struggles to obtain visas. Less so Qatar, Asian champions for the last two tournaments, which had a top-tier coach in Spain’s Julen Lopetegui. Saudi Arabia hosts the World Cup in 2034, but its domestic league still lags behind despite the presence of superstars such as Cristiano Ronaldo. Perhaps in a few decades it can ship its homegrown players to Europe, but for now, money remains no substitute for a deep soccer culture.

Then there are the countries that did not even make it to the tournament. China and India make up almost 60 percent of the region’s population, but India has never appeared at the finals, and China just once in 2002. Xi Jinping, then Chinese vice president, in 2011 talked about his “three wishes” of qualifying for the tournament, hosting it and eventually winning it. At this rate, it is questionable if he would even see his first come true within his lifetime.

Elsewhere, there is room for the game to grow. Hosting the 2002 competition was instrumental in boosting the sport’s popularity in Japan and South Korea, and Asia needs more such opportunities rather than sportswashing projects in the Middle East. No Southeast Asian country has ever made it to the finals save Indonesia, then the Dutch East Indies, at the third-ever tournament in 1938. That is one reason to cheer a mooted joint bid for the 2046 tournament, which could include Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore as well as Japan, South Korea and China — although, let us see how long that aspiration survives contact with political reality.

Proximity to the game’s highest levels might be key. These days, almost all Japan’s players ply their trade at European clubs, like their opponents. The Japanese soccer association should prioritize creating a generation of elite Japanese coaches just as it has players.

Geography can also help African teams. Players, coaches and federations are plugged into Europe’s most competitive systems, while significant numbers of players from Morocco, Senegal and Algeria were born in Europe. In modern soccer, the diaspora is a development model that Asia has much less access to. If anything, 2026 has shown that the future of soccer is not in Asia yet.

What became of Asia’s century of soccer?


Boston Red Sox first baseman Willson Contreras knows the people back home in his native Venezuela are hurting as they try to deal with the fallout from a pair of massive earthquakes that left hundreds dead.

The pull to return home to help is real. That is not an option for Contreras at the moment, so on Monday night against Washington, he did what he could to show that what is happening back home is not far from his mind.

Contreras unleashed a massive bat flip after ripping a 421-foot homer in what became a 6-3 Boston victory. He then broke down in tears in the dugout, the anguish that has been a constant since portions of his homeland were shattered last week pouring out of him.

“Everything that’s going on in Venezuela, it’s not easy to hide,” Contreras said in an interview after the game. “It’s not easy just to show up and play with everything that is going on in my country.”

The urge to do something, anything, to help is real. Contreras looked toward the Boston dugout and shouted “Venezuela” before making the trip around the bases following a three-run shot that marked his 18th homer of the season.

“I feel like I could be there helping people and I can’t do that,” Contreras said. “And the homer just represents something that I pray to God for it to happen, because that’s the only thing I can do for Venezuela right now physically. And that’s why I was emotional.”

The 34-year-old Contreras was born in Puerto Cabello, about three hours west of the capital of Caracas. He described frustration over reports of volunteers and aid packages having trouble getting through to those who need it.

“It sucks seeing so many bad things going on in Venezuela,” he said. “I don’t think we deserve all of this. We’re a good people. Good country. We are good people.”

Contreras’ night on the field ended a bit early. First base umpire Nic Lentz ejected him in the second inning after Lentz ruled Contreras failed to check his swing on a Miles Mikolas pitch that ended up being a strikeout.

Casey Mize matched a career high with 10 strikeouts over seven innings and the Detroit Tigers capitalized on shoddy defense by the slumping New York Yankees in a 7-3 victory on Monday night.

The only baserunner Mize allowed came on rookie Spencer Jones’ leadoff double in the third. He struck out 10 for the third time in his major league career and mowed through the Yankees after they tagged him for four runs and eight hits in 5-2/3 innings on Tuesday last week at Detroit.

Missing injured players Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, the Yankees lost their fifth straight and were held to three hits or fewer in four consecutive games during a single season for the first time in franchise history.

New York’s .098 batting average is the club’s lowest in a four-game span.

In the longest start of his career, Mize threw first-pitch strikes to 16 of 22 batters and struck out five of his final six.

Tigers rookies Hao-yu Lee and Kevin McGonigle drove in two runs apiece after errors by third baseman Jose Caballero and left fielder Cody Bellinger.

Lee hit a two-run single off Ryan Weathers during a four-run second inning four batters after Caballero committed a throwing error on a grounder by Matt Vierling that gave Detroit a 2-0 lead.

McGonigle lined a two-run single for a 7-0 lead one batter after Bellinger dropped a flyball by Dillon Dingler near the corner.

New York equaled a season high with its fifth straight loss and allowed five unearned runs for a total of 14 during its second five-game skid this year. The Yankees have permitted 20 unearned runs in their last 10 games after giving up 22 in their first 74 games.

Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr left in the fourth after colliding with right fielder Jasson Dominguez while chasing a popup. Chisholm was placed in concussion protocol.

New York starter Ryan Weathers allowed five runs — two earned — and seven hits in a season-low 1-2/3 innings.

Detroit rookie Drew Sommers allowed a three-run homer to pinch-hitter Amed Rosario in the eighth. Drew Anderson tossed a 1-2-3 ninth to finish the three-hitter.

Manhunt launched after Monaco blast wounds 3

‘ODIOUS ACT’:  A Ukrainian-born oligarch who was placed under sanctions for allegedly doing business in Russian-occupied Crimea was the target of the attack, media said

Police yesterday were searching for a suspected bomber after three people were wounded by an explosion in the wealthy principality of Monaco, which French and Ukrainian media said was an attack on a Ukrainian-born oligarch.

A search was under way in Monaco and neighboring France after the explosive device went off on Monday evening in Monaco, which is known for its casino and luxury yachts, its tight security and the luxury lifestyle of its super-rich residents.

The suspect was believed to have fled to France, Monegasque Minister of State Christophe Mirmand told BFM TV.

The principality is surrounded by the sea on one side and France on the other, and there are no border checks between the two countries. Italy is also close.

The three main victims were still in the hospital, Mirmand said, adding that a woman, whom he did not name, was the most seriously hurt.

Local newspaper Monaco Matin said that part of the woman’s lower limbs were blown away by the explosion.

French and Ukrainian media said the target of the attack was Vadym Yermolaiev, who was once a real-estate developer in the Dnipro, Ukraine.

He left Ukraine several years ago, renounced his Ukrainian citizenship and became a citizen of Cyprus.

Yermolaiev was placed under Ukrainian sanctions in December 2023, which Ukrainian media say was for doing business in Russian-occupied Crimea.

In an interview with Ukrainian media RBC-Ukraine in 2024, Yermolaiev denied that he owned or ran any business in Crimea.

Mirmand did not confirm or deny Yermolaiev was the target of the attack.

Asked about the victim’s health, Mirmand said he would be further taken care of in a hospital in nearby Nice or in Marseille.

A young man was less seriously hurt, he added.

Other local authorities declined to confirm the identity of the victims or give any further detail of the investigation.

Prince Albert of Monaco described the attack as “an odious act,” which he said was a shock for all in Monaco.

Monaco was working in close coordination with French authorities to track down the suspect, he said.

Video surveillance images showed a man dropping a backpack at the entrance of a residential building shortly before the explosion, French media said.

Monaco Matin showed a screen grab from surveillance footage of the man it said was the suspect, wearing a dark hat and top and carrying a white bag on his shoulder.

BFM TV described the explosive device as a “parcel bomb,” citing the principality’s prosecutor general.

In February, a person suspected of killing a former pro-Russian Ukrainian politician outside a school in a wealthy Madrid suburb last year was arrested in Germany.


A self-exiled billionaire Chinese business tycoon once believed to be among China’s wealthiest men was on Monday sentenced to 30 years in a US prison for a massive financial fraud that a federal judge said cost more than 1,000 people worldwide hundreds of millions of dollars.

Guo Wengui (郭文貴), who fled China a decade ago and reinvented himself as a US-based critic of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), was sentenced in a Manhattan courtroom packed with his supporters by Judge Analisa Torres.

She said he “preyed on those seeking to bring Democracy to China,” taking their money so he could live lavishly.

Before he was sentenced, Guo protested his treatment in jail, saying he was taken to the hospital early on Monday. He disputed a prosecutor’s portrayal of him as a malingerer faking illness, saying he repeatedly vomited as he was returned to jail before being brought to court.

“When I came here, I said: ‘I have a tummy ache, I need to go to the bathroom, I don’t feel well,’” Guo said through an interpreter of his courthouse arrival.

Later, Guo wiped his mouth repeatedly with a tissue.

He only briefly addressed the criminal case.

“The reason I came to the US was to destroy the CCP,” he said.

The judge, in sentencing him, read snippets of letters she received from victims who described losing their life savings and feeling severely anxious and shamed and having family members turn on them for their poor investment choice.

Guo “takes no responsibility for his actions and instead insists incredibly his conduct caused no loss and harmed no one,” Torres said.

He “has called upon supporters to harass and intimidate those who dare to speak out against him,” she said.

The judge ordered Guo to forfeit US$889 million in restitution.

Wei Chen, a victim who testified at trial, told Torres that Guo’s fraud “destroyed my life” and that of her family.

As Guo left the courtroom after the sentencing, supporters applauded and shouted at him.

Before his arrest and detention without bail three years ago, Guo grew so close to conservative political strategist Steve Bannon that they announced a joint initiative to overthrow the Chinese government in 2020. He lived in a luxury apartment overlooking Central Park and had joined US President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Florida golf club.

Prosecutors had requested he serve at least 30 years in prison, saying his “astonishing” fraud from 2018 to 2023 “destroyed hundreds of lives” and left “a wreckage of victims and families who have been devastated financially, emotionally and psychologically.”

Prosecutors said in court papers that his ill-gotten riches fueled “a lifestyle of extraordinary excess and indulgence, a gilded life of mansions, yachts, race cars, designer clothes and luxury furnishings.”

Guo was convicted of nine of 12 criminal charges during a seven-week trial that prosecutors said showcased his deception of thousands of investors in bogus deals that enabled Guo’s lavish lifestyle.

In a court filing, Guo’s lawyers wrote that he was the victim of the CCP’s “grand, pervasive and life threatening” pursuit of him. They said that the party recruited elites in US business, entertainment and politics to conspire against him.

They said in presentence court papers that a lengthy prison term would only validate China’s smear campaign and “embolden further efforts to eliminate Chinese dissidents from public life” while defendants in similar cases received prison terms of two-to-four years.

Shooter in custody dispute kills six at German shelter

A gunman on Monday killed four women and two men at a German shelter for mothers and their children, police said, reporting that the suspect was in a custody battle over his three-month-old daughter.

Emergency workers rushed to the scene of the shooting in the northern town of Stade and found four people already dead. A fifth person died soon after at the scene, while a sixth later succumbed to their injuries.

“The perpetrator had an appointment today, along with many of the victims, to discuss future custody arrangements for his three-month-old daughter,” Lueneburg Police Chief Kathrin Schuol said. “Both the child and her mother were present at the location, but were not injured by gunfire.”

The victims — four women and two men — were all child welfare workers, and had all been shot “in a brutal manner,” Schuol said.

A seventh person was wounded and reported in a stable condition.

The suspected gunman tried to flee in a car driven by a 65-year-old woman — believed to have “a close connection to the gunman’s family” — but was captured after a short chase, Schuol said.

Police opened fire on the car, but neither the suspected gunman nor the driver were hurt, she added.

Both are being held in police custody.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz called news of the shooting “deeply shocking.”

“Many people who were trying to help and protect others have lost their lives or been injured,” Merz said. “My thoughts are with the victims and their families.”

The suspect was previously known to police, including for making threats, but “he has not previously been regarded as a particularly violent individual,” Schuol said.

She added that the suspect did not have a firearms license and it was unclear how he obtained the weapon.

Police said the man was a Turkish citizen, but was born in Germany.

The girl’s mother told police after the shooting that she was no longer in a relationship with the suspect, Schuol said, adding that the young child had been placed in care as police question the mother and investigate the case.

Lower Saxony Minister of the Interior Daniela Behrens described the killings as “extremely cold-blooded” and said that the “suffering that the perpetrator has caused here in Stade is difficult to comprehend and, I believe, even harder to put into words.”


Feliks’ journey resembles a Hollywood movie script, with kidnappers, smugglers and a daring cross-border mission.

The year-old eastern imperial eagle from Serbia last year set off on his first migratory flight toward the Middle East, only to be captured by poachers.

While Feliks returned home safely last week, his ordeal highlighted the widespread illegal animal trade and animal protection groups’s struggles to counter it.

“It’s getting worse year after year, season after season, day after day,” said Lebanese Association for Migratory Birds president Michel Sawan, who played a key role in Feliks’ rescue.

The protected species was down to a single breeding pair in Serbia in 2017, but has recovered thanks to the work of the Bird Protection and Study Society of Serbia (BPSSS).

The precious offspring of a new generation of eagles, Feliks was ringed and got a “small backpack” with a transmitter before setting off in August last year, society representative Uros Stojiljkovic said.

“Everything seemed normal,” Stojiljkovic added. “We didn’t dream all this would happen.”

Feliks first circled close to home before heading southeast across North Macedonia, Greece and Turkey. His tracking signal was lost in late October in Syria.

“We hoped this was because there was a problem with the transmitter,” Stojiljkovic said.

Weeks passed before the news came from Sawan: Feliks had been put up for sale after he was captured by poachers who catch migratory birds by placing water in the desert, or shoot at them, capture them with nets or chase them with motorcycles.

“When Felix was caught at first, it was posted on many WhatsApp groups for selling wild birds illegally trapped in Syria,” Sawan said. “I started my phone calls with people I know in Syria and we were able to reach out for Feliks.”

Feliks was sold to a buyer in Lebanon and resold into Syria before Sawan retrieved him through a network of associates.

Getting Feliks over the border into Lebanon was then impeded by fighting in the region and bad weather, but eventually, a group of refugees carried Feliks in a potato sack over the Nahr al-Kabir river on the northern border between Syria and Lebanon, he said.

“It was crazy,” he said.

Safely in Sawan’s bird sanctuary in Beirut, Feliks still needed to get back home, a task that seemed impossible after the start of the war in Iran in February.

After three failed attempts, the Serbian Army came to the rescue through its troops serving in a UN peacekeeping mission in Lebanon. Feliks arrived back in Serbia aboard a military transport plane on Monday last week.

He is in a zoo in northern Serbia where he must be quarantined for 21 days.

BPSSS experts said the eagle would get a new transmitter before he is released again.

Over the past decade, the society has planted trees and set up bird platforms across the flat agricultural plain of northern Serbia.

Back in 2017, volunteers organized a 24-hour watch of the remaining nesting pair to make sure they were safe. An EU-backed project later helped beef up the population to 29 breeding couples.

Dangers remain, from accidental poisoning to electrical cables, Stojiljkovic said.

“Feliks went full circle and came back to where he had set off,” Stojiljkovic said. “Let’s hope he won’t be bored here.”

A Chinese dissident recounts his perilous dinghy escape to South Korea and how he got to CanadaDong Guanping recalls how he finally found refuge in Toronto last week, after multiple attempts to escape China that spanned over a decade

A roughly 40-hour sea journey on a dinghy with a dying phone. Detention in South Korea. That’s just part of what Chinese dissident Dong Guangping (董廣平) endured to escape his native country. He arrived late last week in Canada, a destination he had eyed for more than a decade.

Dong had been locked up in China several times, including for his activities commemorating the 1989 crackdown on pro-democracy protesters in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square and past efforts to flee.

“It’s like living in a cage. Very suffocating,” he said, referring to the lack of freedom of expression in China.

After his release from prison, the 68-year-old dissident said he was unable to receive retirement benefits or renew his passport and was under constant police monitoring.

China’s Foreign Ministry said the government handles the entry and exit of its citizens in accordance with the law and that Chinese citizens must abide by the Constitution and the law.

Dong attempted to flee at least three previous times: in 2015 to Thailand, where authorities deported him back to China; in 2019, when he tried to swim to a Taiwanese island off China’s east coast; and in 2020, when he reached Vietnam, only to be deported back again.

Last month, he tried again.

Dong says he shook off the fear of death.

In the early hours of May 24, he set off in a gray rubber dinghy fitted with an engine from Weihai, a coastal city in eastern China’s Shandong province, under fine weather. He was eyeing Japan, confident that the government there would not send him back to China.

But the next day brought fog. When he noticed his phone, which he relied on for GPS navigation, was on its last bar, he became terrified. His power bank also died. He quickly switched to his contingency plan — South Korea.

Dong recalled that dread ran deep because his tiny boat might capsize if the winds and waves picked up. But he had no way to return and shook off the fear of death.

“Living conditions back in the country are so terrible that being alive is little different than being dead. So there is no point fearing death,” he said. “If you move forward, there’s a chance at life.”

In the evening, he saw lights in the distance and moved toward them. The first vessel could not hear his cries for help and left. Later, he encountered a fishing boat that agreed to pull him on board. He asked the fishers to call the police to help him.

The South Korean coast guard detained him for allegedly violating the country’s immigration law. They sought a warrant to formally arrest him, but a court refused, saying it’s “difficult to recognize sufficient grounds and necessity” for his arrest.

FROM REFUGEE CENTER TO CANADA

Dong was later sent to a refugee center in Incheon, a port city near Seoul. Earlier this month, the UN refugee agency contacted him via video call, he said.

A refugee center manager later asked about his height, weight and his eye color. He was worried at first but it turned out to be a good sign. His lawyer told him it was at the request of the Canadian diplomatic mission, he said.

About a week later, Dong boarded a flight and he arrived in Toronto Friday. He was still unclear what legal procedures were involved in his move, but guessed it was based on cooperation between the South Korean and Canadian governments and the UN agency.

“I feel very surprised, extremely surprised. It’s like still in a dream. It’s very fast,” he said.

He believed the resettlement status in Canada that his family secured in 2015, before Thai authorities deported him back to China, was still valid.

The Canadian Embassy in South Korea declined to comment on Dong’s case. South Korea’s Foreign Ministry said the country handled the case “in accordance with law and principle,” but did not specify Seoul’s role in arranging Dong’s transfer to Canada. The UN refugee agency declined to comment on individual cases for reasons of confidentiality and protection.

A FRESH START

Dong vows to press on with his activism Dong said he feels at home after arriving in Toronto, saying he finally tasted freedom for the first time in over a decade.

“There’s not even a hint of fear,” he said.

He hopes to make a living, possibly by being a truck driver or an Uber driver.

But the joy doesn’t help Dong let go of the deportations by the Thai and Vietnamese authorities.

In 2015, Dong and his family went to Thailand to seek refugee status from the UN refugee agency, but Thai authorities later arrested him and returned him to China, according to Amnesty International. His ex-wife and daughter managed to settle in Canada.

The activist fled to Vietnam in 2020, but was sent back in 2022. He was jailed each time he was returned to China. He said he plans to consult a lawyer to see if he can sue both Thailand and Vietnam.

For Dong, the fight is far from over. He also plans to press on in his call for China’s democratization.

In the late 1990s, the former police officer distributed leaflets with his articles on topics such as the Tiananmen crackdown. He was imprisoned for three years in 2001 for inciting subversion of state power.

He also spent more than eight months behind bars over his participation in a memorial for victims of the crackdown after being arrested in 2014, he said.

“My ultimate goal is for China to achieve constitutional democracy,” he said.


Seeds of Stories: The Pomegranate’s Tale 誰拜倒在石榴裙下？揭開這顆紅寶石的神祕身世！

Pomegranates often resemble small jewel boxes, their glossy red skin hiding clusters of seeds that shine like rubies. This striking appearance has long attracted curiosity and fascination, and has helped the fruit acquire symbolic weight across different civilizations.

In Western traditions, especially in ancient Greece and Rome, the fruit symbolized fertility and the cycles of nature. One of its most famous roles is featured in the Greek myth of Persephone, who tasted pomegranate seeds in the underworld and was therefore bound to return there each year. Her absence and return were believed to shape the changing seasons. In many Asian cultures, the pomegranate conveys a different yet equally meaningful message. Since it contains so many seeds, it has long been associated with abundance, good fortune and the hope for a thriving family line.

A particularly vivid tradition survives in modern Greece. On New Year’s Day, families smash a ripe pomegranate on their doorstep, watching the seeds scatter across the ground. The number and spread of the seeds are believed to predict the household’s luck in the coming year, turning this simple act into a gesture of optimism and prosperity.

The pomegranate also appears in Chinese culture in the expression “pomegranate skirt.” This phrase originated from the Han Dynasty, when fashionable women wore skirts dyed with pomegranate flower juice. Consequently, the expression evolved to describe beautiful women, with “falling under the pomegranate skirt” suggesting admiration for a woman’s charm. Despite its modest size, the pomegranate certainly carries plenty of stories worth exploring.

石榴常常看起來像小小的珠寶盒，它們光亮的紅色外皮下，藏著一簇簇像紅寶石般閃耀的種子。這種引人注目的外觀長久以來吸引著人們的好奇與著迷，也幫助這種水果在不同文明中獲得了象徵性的意義。

在西方傳統中，尤其是在古希臘與羅馬，這種水果象徵著生育力與自然的循環。石榴最著名的角色之一是出現在希臘神話中波瑟芬妮的故事裡，她在冥界嚐了石榴籽，因此注定每年都必須回到冥界。人們相信她的離去與歸來塑造了四季的更迭。在許多亞洲文化中，石榴傳達的則是不同卻同樣深具意義的訊息。由於石榴裡面含有眾多種子，因此長期被與豐饒、好運以及家族興旺的希望聯想在一起。

一項特別生動的傳統至今仍存在於現代希臘。在新年當天，家家戶戶會在門口砸碎一顆成熟的石榴，看著種子四散在地面上。人們相信，種子的數量與散布情形，能預示這個家庭來年的運勢，讓這個簡單的行為轉化為一種象徵樂觀與繁榮的舉動。

石榴也出現在中國文化中的「石榴裙」一詞。這個說法起源於漢朝，當時時髦的女子會穿著以石榴花汁染色的裙子。因此，這個詞語逐漸演變為形容美麗的女子，而「拜倒在石榴裙下」則暗示對一名女性魅力的傾慕。儘管體積不大，石榴無疑承載了許多值得探索的故事。

▲越來越多人奉行「少買、買好、用久」的極簡生活。（示意圖／資料照）

記者楊智雯／綜合報導

物價持續上漲，許多人開始重新檢視自己的消費習慣，「精緻窮」也成為近年熱門關鍵字。不過越來越多人分享，真正過得有質感的人，反而不會一味追求低價，而是奉行「少買、買好、用久」的極簡生活，購物時若只看商品售價，很容易忽略後續維修、更換及重新挑選的時間成本，近年歐美則盛行以「單次使用成本」評估商品價值，也就是將商品價格平均到每一次實際使用，使用時間越長、頻率越高，長期成本反而越低，成為許多理性消費者奉行的選購原則。

也有不少消費研究引用「靴子理論」來解釋這種現象。這項概念源自英國作家Terry Pratchett的書，內容提到，經濟能力有限的人往往只能選擇價格較低、耐用度較差的商品，因此需要反覆購買，長期累積的花費反而高於一次購買品質較佳、使用壽命更長的產品，這樣的觀念近年被廣泛應用在消費心理及永續消費討論，也讓愈來愈多人開始重新思考「便宜是否真的比較省」。

究竟哪些東西適合採取「買貴反而更划算」的策略：

● 每天都會接觸的生活用品像是床墊、枕頭、辦公椅等，每天都會長時間使用，耐用度、支撐性與舒適度比價格更重要。選用品質較佳的產品，不僅使用壽命更長，也能減少頻繁更換帶來的時間與金錢成本。

● 經典耐看的穿搭單品外套、工作包、皮鞋等屬於高使用頻率的基本配件，挑選經典設計與耐用材質，不容易因流行退燒而淘汰，也能避免因品質不佳而反覆添購，長期來看更符合「單次使用成本」的消費概念。

● 高頻率使用的家電產品冰箱、冷氣、洗衣機、吹風機等幾乎天天都會使用，選擇品質穩定、能源效率較高的產品，提升使用體驗，也有助於降低耗電量與維修、更換頻率，兼顧生活品質與長期使用效益。

高質感生活並非代表花更多錢，而是把預算花在真正會長期陪伴自己的物品上，與其反覆購買價格低卻不耐用的商品，不如養成購物前先思考「這件東西我會使用多久、多久會用一次」，才能兼顧荷包與生活品質。

愈有錢的人愈少亂買　戒掉低價囤積、高頻率用品買貴反而省

記者閔文昱／綜合報導

桃園市議員黃瓊慧日前指稱，涉入桃園章魚燒店討債風波的抖音網紅「鍾小鍾」是網紅蹦闆（呂育銓）的小弟，雙方隔空交火。蹦闆29日揚言返國後將提告，30日再度公開與黃瓊慧的私訊內容，強調至今未獲得正式且有誠意的道歉，並重申自己與鍾小鍾只是「點頭之交」，「敢作敢當，沒做過的事，我絕對力爭到底！」

公開私訊反擊 「黑道人物有小弟很正常？」

蹦闆表示，黃瓊慧在貼文中指稱鍾小鍾是他的小弟，完全不是事實，純屬個人臆測，而截至目前為止，他也不認為對方曾做出任何正式且有誠意的道歉，因此決定公開雙方私訊內容。

根據蹦闆公布的對話，黃瓊慧表示，「黑道人物有小弟不是蠻正常的嗎，我沒想到說你有小弟你不高興」，並稱警方曾告知她鍾小鍾是蹦闆的小弟，因此誤以為蹦闆是黑幫分支，且認為兩人曾合照、互動，應屬熟識。對此，蹦闆回應，「我不是黑道人士，只是看起來像」，更質疑就算過去曾有新聞或照片，也與對方是否為自己小弟毫無關聯。

蹦闆進一步說明，他確實認識鍾小鍾，但雙方只是點頭之交。當初因《拳上》賽事主辦方需要人手，他請好友找人協助活動，因此才與鍾小鍾有所接觸，活動結束後眾人一起合照、道賀，之後便再也沒有私下聯絡或往來。

他強調，自己平時與許多人合照，也常和粉絲互動，「總不能每一個跟我拍過照的人都是我兄弟，更不可能要求我要為所有人的個人行為負責。」他也再次重申，自己已委任律師蒐證，將循司法途徑維護名譽與商譽，「我是蹦闆呂育銓，我就是我。敢作敢當，沒做過的事，我絕對力爭到底！」

山坡地違規零容忍！新北查獲77件違法擋土牆　27件已完成拆除

▲經農業局及水保服務團輔導設置農地駁坎，以利農業合理利用。（圖／新北市農業局提供，下同）

記者郭世賢／新北報導

新北市山坡地面積占全市約88%，比例居六都之冠。為維護山坡地安全及自然生態，新北市政府農業局透過多元山坡地違規查報機制，查獲77件違法設置擋土牆案件，均已依法裁罰並要求限期改善，其中已有27件完成自行拆除。農業局表示，將持續透過監控及定期巡查，加強山坡地管理，守護民眾生命財產安全。

農業局指出，擋土牆是為攔阻土石、砂礫所設置的構造物，其設計必須考量自重、載重、土壓力、水壓力、地震力及基礎承載力等多項因素，並由專業技師進行滑動、傾倒及土壤承載力等安全檢算，完成簽證後，再經新北市政府核定水土保持申請書件，才能成為合法且安全的擋土設施。

▲坪林區一處山坡地經通報違規設置擋土牆，經裁罰6萬元並限期改正。

為協助民眾合法利用山坡地，農業局結合新北市水土保持服務團，輔導農民在開挖面積500平方公尺以下、自有農地設置高度2公尺以下駁坎，以改善地形高低落差，供農業使用。農業局提醒，民眾如有山坡地開發或水土保持相關需求，可透過線上預約或於每週一、四上午撥打免費諮詢專線（02-2965-9930），由水土保持服務團提供免費專業諮詢，切勿未經申請即自行施工，以免遭檢舉或經衛星影像監測發現違規，依法可處6萬元至30萬元罰鍰。

農業局也舉例說明，坪林區曾有民眾為興建違法建物，未經申請便於自有土地擅自開挖整地並修築擋土設施。經查獲後，依《水土保持法》裁罰6萬元，並命限期拆除。經市府人員多次溝通及法規宣導，該民眾最終配合拆除違規設施，恢復土地原貌。

▲坪林區山坡地違規設置擋土牆，經新北市限期改正後已拆除擋土牆並植生覆蓋改正。

新北市農業局長諶錫輝表示，山坡地違規執法沒有模糊空間，凡未經核准施作的擋土設施，一律不得以專業技師簽證方式保留；即使案件符合輔導合法化條件，義務人仍須在法定期限內提出水土保持申請書件並通過審查，若未能完成審查，仍須依法拆除及清理，切勿抱持「事後簽證即可就地合法」的僥倖心態。

諶錫輝強調，去年查獲的77件違規擋土牆案件中，已有27件完成自行拆除，顯示市府持續落實山坡地違規查處與輔導改善，兼顧公共安全與山林環境保育。

記者楊淑媛／桃園報導

為持續推動老街溪水岸環境改善，打造兼具防洪安全與休憩功能的河岸空間，桃園市議會議長邱奕勝30日邀集市府水務局及中壢區多位里長等，前往老街溪堤防改善工程(高速公路橋至領航南橋左岸河岸開闢工程)進行會勘，實地了解工程規劃內容與地方需求。

邱奕勝議長表示，老街溪是中壢及桃園地區的重要河川，也是市民生活休憩的重要綠帶。近年來在各界共同努力下，河川整治已逐步展現成果，不僅水質及景觀明顯改善，也讓市民對於河岸步道串聯、休憩空間及防洪設施有更高期待。

針對老街溪長年存在堤頂高度不足及通洪斷面狹窄等水患隱憂，在市府與議會共同努力爭取下，工程已獲經濟部「因應氣候變遷縣市管河川及排水整體改善計畫」補助，總經費約14.2億元。其中，「五福橋至高速公路下游左岸堤防工程」將新建857公尺護岸，經費約5.9億元；「跨老街溪橋至領航北橋右岸治理工程」則將辦理5.5公里右岸堤防改善及環境營造，投入經費約8.3億元，全面提升老街溪整體防洪能力與水岸環境品質。

邱奕勝說：老街溪治理自吳志揚縣長任內便開始積極推動，如今再爭取到這兩項重大工程，代表老街溪在防洪安全及綠帶延伸上再向前跨出重要一步。從伯公潭、捷運A20、A21站一路延伸至青埔地區，老街溪已成為串聯地方生活的重要綠色廊帶，而此次工程更是完善這條綠色長廊的關鍵「最後一哩路」，期盼中央、地方持續攜手合作，讓老街溪成為兼具防洪安全、生態保育、休閒遊憩與城市景觀的重要水岸綠帶。

水務局表示，兩項工程完成後，預估可增加約205公頃保護面積，同時提升沿岸土地利用價值，待中央經費到位後，將朝116年底前完成土地徵收、117年至118年辦理工程施工的目標積極推動。

位於桃園火車站前的統領廣場，30日舉行專屬學子的「恭賀結業式迎賓禮」，由店內同仁站在大門內入口處，列兩旁、拉響炮、熱情歡呼「恭喜同學、放假了」！，迎接甫於學校完成結業式的同學來到統領，同時也推出限時專屬學生優惠，憑學生證可享眾多專櫃的促銷活動。

統領廣場處長李奇珍指出，桃園市多數學校於6月30日舉行結業式，結業式後就是暑假的正式到來。由於，統領廣場位於桃園火車站前，也是許多高中同學下課必經之處，因此，統領廣場特別推出專屬學子的「恭賀結業式迎賓禮」活動，讓學子們結業式後，可以和同學們相偕遊逛百貨商場，購物、吃美食，拿迎賓禮。

保時捷「最新911 GT4 R賽車」發表！4.0升水平對臥6缸榨520匹馬力

圖文／7Car 小七車觀點

Porsche 日前正式發表全新 911 GT4 R，進一步拓展其客戶賽車運動產品線。這款新賽車是 Porsche 首次以 911 平台為基礎打造符合 GT4 規格之車型，搭載 4.0 升水平對臥六缸引擎，最大輸出可達 520 PS，預計將於 2027 年賽季首度登場。

Porsche 賽車部門副總裁 Thomas Laudenbach 表示，將 911 平台導入 GT4 級別，反映該級別在國際賽車運動中的重要性持續提升。他指出，GT4 已從最初被視為入門層級的賽事，發展為競爭激烈且具全球影響力的賽車平台。Porsche 賽車銷售總監 Michael Dreiser 則補充，全新 911 GT4 R 將與現有 Cayman 系列並行，提供車隊更多元的高性能選擇，尤其滿足當前全球市場對兼具性能與可及性的客戶賽車之需求。

外觀與內裝材質上，911 GT4 R 承襲 911 Cup 的主要車體結構，並透過空氣力學優化提升效能，其尾翼具備 11 段手動調整功能。特別的是，新車大量採用天然纖維強化塑膠結合環氧樹脂，應用於車門、引擎蓋、空力組件及部分座艙內裝，展現永續材料在賽車領域的實際應用。駕駛介面則配置 10.3 吋彩色顯示幕，整合數據記錄器與高精度 GPS 系統，便於車隊進行賽後分析與性能優化；此外，原廠亦提供額外配重組件，以因應 BoP 所規範之各類車重標準。

在動力系統方面，911 GT4 R 採用與 911 GT3 共用基礎的高轉速 4.0 升水平對臥六缸引擎，賽車版本可輸出高達 382 kW（520 PS），最大扭力可達 470 牛頓米。然而，因應 GT4 賽事技術規範中的性能平衡（Balance of Performance, BoP）機制，新車出廠時將配備 53.7 毫米的進氣限制器，使輸出功率調整至 316 kW（430 PS）。變速系統則採用序列式六速狗爪式變速箱，搭配方向盤換檔撥片與四片式賽車離合器。底盤設定方面，基於賽規要求，911 GT4 R 與 911 Cup 有所不同，採用較窄的輪圈與五孔輪圈固定方式，並配備雙向可調阻尼器與三種彈簧係數選擇，提供車隊更多調校彈性。

GT4 級別自 2000 年代中期導入以來，已發展為全球多個國家與區域性賽事的重要組別，其以量產技術為基礎、相對適中的運營成本，被視為 GT3 賽事之下的關鍵入門階層。Porsche 自 2016 年進軍 GT4 以來，已累計生產超過 1,500 輛以 Cayman 為基礎的賽車，並在 SRO 國際製造商排名中暫居第三位（截至 2026 年 6 月 19 日）。Porsche GT 賽車部門總監 Matthias Scholz 強調，911 承載著品牌賽車 DNA，將其轉化為 GT4 車款，將在性能表現與駕駛體驗上開創更多可能性，而新款 911 GT4 R 也受惠於 911 Cup 研發過程中的各項技術積累，延續品牌在客戶賽車領域的成功軌跡。

富邦悍將申皓瑋30日延長11局下轟出生涯首支再見全壘打，幫助球隊以6比5逆轉統一獅，不僅收下上半季第34勝、堆高隊史單季最多勝紀錄，也達成球團史500勝里程碑。賽後站上MVP舞台的他，卻笑說一時忘了感謝老婆，趕緊在受訪時補上，「她在我低潮時也一直鼓勵我。」

申皓瑋透露，先前就答應老婆，如果拿到MVP要在台上感謝她，「但剛剛忘記了。」他也特別補充，老婆在自己低潮時一直給予鼓勵，是很重要的支持力量。

談到再見轟那一球，申皓瑋表示，當時球數1好2壞，上場打擊時只想著教練提醒的重點，「把球打得紮實，也做好打直球準備，剛好他投到內角。」他原本以為這球至少可以形成高飛犧牲打，「沒想到球飛這麼遠。」

悍將上半季以34勝26敗作收，申皓瑋強調，這不是他一個人的功勞，「是大家的功勞，大家都很努力，今天比較幸運是由我來贏下勝利。」他也提到，球隊不管輸贏，到最後都保持決心，「上半季只是過程，下半季還有很長的路，大家可以繼續加油。」

富邦悍將此役也達成球團史500勝，申皓瑋從球隊第一年一路打到現在，對這個里程碑別具感受。他說，「能拿到500勝很開心，球隊能走到這一步，不管是學長的努力，或我們年輕球員努力，相信大家都有看到，大家很盡力在場上拚鬥，感謝一路支持的球迷。」

悍將34勝作收又達500勝　後藤光尊肯定上半季：選手進步很多

記者楊舒帆／新北報導

富邦悍將30日靠申皓瑋延長11局下再見全壘打，以6比5逆轉統一獅，不僅以34勝26敗結束上半季，堆高隊史單季最多勝紀錄，也達成球團史500勝里程碑。總教練後藤光尊賽後肯定球隊上半季整體成長，也提到8局下董子恩、林書逸連續代打建功，是球員狀況與比賽機會剛好結合的結果。

▲申皓瑋再見轟。（圖／富邦悍將提供）

後藤光尊表示，「兩位狀況不錯，抉擇先發時都有考慮，今天剛好在比賽嗆司中，有機會上去代打，是偶然的結果。」

申皓瑋近期連續3場敲出關鍵安打，此戰更在延長賽轟出再見全壘打，成為悍將逆轉英雄。後藤表示，「其實是不好判斷好或不好的落差，這幾場狀況都不錯，都有打出來，這結果太好了。」

悍將本季上半季以34勝26敗作結，改寫球隊單季最多勝紀錄，同時達成球團史500勝里程碑。後藤說，「上半季一開始能多一戰力就多一個，結果是有達成的。不只是養成選手，在比賽過程中如何取得平衡，結果算是非常好。」

不過悍將上半季一度有機會爭取季冠軍，最後仍未能拿下上半季冠軍。後藤也坦言，「悍將是有爭取上半季冠軍機會的，這過程中沒有做好自己該做的，這是現在不足的部分，希望能好好調整，來迎接下半季。最一開始也沒想過可以有爭取的機會，過程中選手進步很多。」

記者杜奕君／綜合報導

2026世界盃足球賽1日將迎來3場32強淘汰賽，包括凌晨1點的象牙海岸對上挪威、凌晨5點的法國交手瑞典、上午9點墨西哥力抗厄瓜多，由於今天傳統強隊德國、荷蘭均已出局，實力同樣不弱的法國與瑞典隊提前碰撞，鹿死誰手仍未可知，台灣運彩的賠率也正式出爐，看好兩隊打出防守戰。

明天最受矚目的比賽當屬法國與瑞典之戰，2隊都是歐洲傳統強隊，雖然同在歐洲區，兩隊最近一次交戰紀錄是在2020年歐洲國家聯賽，法國以4比2及1比0擊退瑞典，再來則是2017年世界盃小組資格賽，兩隊各自勝出一場。法國這次小組賽共有10球進帳，攻擊火力強大，這場若再取勝，16強將對上巴拉圭，而非原先預期的德國，晉級形勢大好。

法國身為世界頂尖勁旅，主力球員在母隊多線作戰的沉重體能負擔，已成為本屆世界盃32強淘汰賽的最大隱憂。陣中多位核心球星在歐洲聯賽、歐冠與國家隊之間疲於奔命，高強度的密集賽程讓球員近期的全場攻守氣勢與比賽推進的掌控度顯著下滑，這也為迎戰北歐勁旅瑞典的戰役埋下不安因子。

瑞典憑藉硬朗防守與紀律著稱，此役誓言踢出生涯代表作。考量到法國體能處於崩潰邊緣，難以在常規時間內撕裂防線，雙方預計將陷入防守拉鋸。本場比賽總進球數預估落在1至2球之間，常規時間最有望以1比1握手言和。

反觀瑞典在小組賽的狀況可以用「狂喜狂悲」來形容，先是以5：1橫掃阿爾及利亞，對陣荷蘭卻又以同樣比分狂輸，最後和日本踢和，最終是以小組賽第3名晉級。目前陣中傷員多，加上小組賽失球數高達7球，面對法國的強攻，防守備受考驗。

法國將於台灣時間7月1日清晨5點交手瑞典，本場台灣運彩賽事編號1067，根據台灣運彩盤口資訊，法國獨贏賠率1.11，和局4.65，瑞典勝出6.50。讓分盤部分，法國讓2球賠率2.05，和局（法國剛好贏2球）3.65，瑞典受讓2球1.85；法國讓3球賠率3.40，和局（法國剛好贏3球）3.80，瑞典受讓3球1.35。總進球數方面，3.5球盤開出大球1.85、小球1.60；4.5球盤則為大球2.70、小球1.25。

別再瞎忙！7月生肖「財運王TOP5」揭曉，命理專家點名「這生肖」告別勞碌命、默默數錢迎花開。（歐新社）

〔娛樂頻道／綜合報導〕2026下半年正式啟動！誰最容易把努力變成收入？進入國曆7月，命理專家林霖表示，下半年財運的關鍵，不只是偏財或意外之財，而是誰能把前面累積的努力，真正轉化為收入與成果。

今年7月，整體財運呈現「努力變現、人脈帶財、行動創造機會」三大趨勢。只要懂得掌握自己的優勢，就有機會讓收入更上一層樓。以下為國曆7月財運最旺的5個生肖：

◎第5名：鼠

．關鍵字：新挑戰，就是新的財富機會！

屬鼠的朋友，國曆7月將迎來不少新的任務與工作機會。雖然剛開始會讓人有點不安，甚至需要重新學習新的技能，但這些挑戰，其實都是未來收入成長的重要起點。

．〈林霖提醒〉不要急著拒絕新的工作或新的責任，勇敢跨出舒適圈，新的能力，就是未來新的收入來源。

◎第4名：蛇

．關鍵字：領導能力，就是你的財富價值！

屬蛇的朋友，7月在人際互動與團隊合作方面特別順利，有機會被賦予更重要的職責，甚至帶領專案或團隊。雖然這個月財運不是一次爆發型，但隨著能力被肯定、責任提升，也將逐步帶動收入成長。

．〈林霖提醒〉不要因為害怕承擔而錯過機會，願意站出來的人，未來財運自然會跟著提升。

◎第3名：龍

．關鍵字：越行動，越容易賺到錢！

屬龍的朋友，7月驛馬星發動，是典型「越動越旺」的月份。不論是拜訪客戶、出差、拓展市場，甚至主動提出新的企劃，都有機會為自己帶來新的收入與合作。

．〈林霖提醒〉不要只是規劃，更要開始行動。很多財富，都藏在跨出去的第一步。

◎第2名：雞

．關鍵字：人脈，就是你的財脈！

屬雞的朋友，7月最大的財富來源不是單打獨鬥，而是來自人際關係。貴人運旺、客戶運佳，加上合作機會增加，很容易因為一個介紹、一個邀約，替自己打開新的收入來源。

．〈林霖提醒〉多參加聚會、多認識新朋友、多維繫人際關係，這個月的人脈，就是你的財富。

◎第1名：牛

．關鍵字：努力開始變現，迎接收穫時刻！

榮登國曆7月財運第一名的是屬牛的朋友。過去默默耕耘、一步一步累積的成果，將在7月開始陸續開花結果。無論是業績提升、績效獎金、收入增加，甚至擴大工作規模，都有機會在這個月看見明顯成效。

．〈林霖提醒〉這個月請繼續專注本業，不要捲入職場的是非，把時間花在提升自己的價值，你的努力，將一分不少地回到你的身上。

看到自己沒上榜有點小哀怨？林霖提醒，財運好，不代表可以鬆懈；財運普通，也不代表沒有機會。真正的財富來自平時的累積，以及每一次願意接受挑戰、提升自己的決定。只要把握屬於自己的機會，每個人都能在下半年迎來豐盛的收穫。

民進黨新北市長參選人蘇巧慧今晚舉行座談，喊推動中和數位轉型，吸引工程師等人才進駐。國民黨參選人李四川和年輕廚師交流，承諾打造完善政策推動人才站上國際舞台。

蘇巧慧今天晚間與新北市議員張嘉玲在中和舉辦座談會，立委吳沛憶、黃捷、林楚茵、李坤城等人都到場站台，主辦單位估計現場湧入逾500人，場面熱烈。

蘇巧慧指出，張嘉玲具備府、院、黨的國家級幕僚歷練，3年來不僅爭取補助中低收長輩打帶狀皰疹疫苗、中和第二運動中心動工等，更長期關注長照議題，盼未來能和張嘉玲一起合作，讓中和持續進步。

蘇巧慧說，中和擁有電子零組件、精密機械、印刷、生醫等完整產業聚落，是新北產業重鎮，又有鄰近板橋與台北市的地理優勢，未來她將推動中和成為「數位轉型的領航區」，打造科技業總部的聚集地，吸引更多軟體工程師、資料科學家等數位人才進駐。

蘇巧慧也提到，中和住宿式長照機構數量位居新北第二，日前她提出「三大照顧政見」，要從政策面成為長輩後盾，將每年補助18萬元提升至24萬元，並增加夜間緊急住宿量能，提供臨時住宿補助金。

此外，李四川今天傍晚出席台灣國際年輕廚師協會會員大會，與業者交流。他分享，從小因住在小琉球漁村，抓到魚後常自己料理，因此很早就接觸烹飪，婚後他也經常下廚，但太太總是笑稱他煮的菜「沒有色香味」。

李四川說，他成長於捕魚家庭，深知每一項食材都得來不易，無論是漁民出海或農民耕作，每份食材背後都凝聚著無數心血，而好的食材也需要好的廚師來詮釋，好的廚師更需要完善的平台與舞台。

李四川強調，希望未來有更多資源投入青年廚師培育及產業發展，當選後將持續協助打造更完善的發展環境，讓年輕廚師擁有更多展現專業的舞台，不僅在國內發光發熱，也有機會站上國際舞台，讓世界看見台灣餐飲文化的實力。（編輯：陳正健）1150630

海鯤號不使用鋰電池  台船董事長曝原因

潛艦海鯤號原本排定6月5日出海，進行第17次海測暨第11次潛航測試，卻因天候惡劣持續延後，這段期間剛好遇到6月25日的台船股東會，海鯤號進度成為追問焦點。

台船董事長陳政宏當天股東會後接受媒體採訪，特別針對外界質疑海鯤號僅使用傳統鉛酸電池，而未使用鋰電池的疑慮特別強調，台灣首次自行建造潛艦，講求穩紮穩打、不冒進，所以優先採用成熟、可靠的科技，造先進、性能好產品。

回顧2024年，海鯤號泊港測試（HAT）期間，海軍曾在政府電子採購網發出公開徵詢書，尋找具有原廠授權、可以供售潛艦用銀鋅電池的廠商。

據了解，銀鋅電池又稱氧化銀電池，具有放電平穩、較鉛酸電池高的能量密度與壽命長等優點，但成本較高。台灣也曾試圖向日本採購潛艦鋰電池卻失敗，現由台船動力科技公司研發中。

因此，海鯤號最後採用傳統的鉛酸電池，缺點是蓄電量較少，優點是較為安全且穩定可靠，比較符合台灣首艘自製潛艦要求的技術累積與系統穩定。


台中市政會議30日通過116年度總預算案，市長盧秀燕連台中購物節等政策，也「全負責任編好」，讓新市長「馬上上手」；民進黨台中市長參選人何欣純指出，好的政策延續但「該調整的也會調整到位」；國民黨市長參選人、立法院副院長江啟臣則說，市民認同的好政策就該延續，也會好政加碼。

台中市政會議今日通過116年度總預算案，任期倒數不到半年的盧秀燕再加碼宣布，新學年度起擴大私立國小學童也能每週喝鮮乳，加計之前宣布的營養午餐免費，連台中購物節等政策，她均「假設會延續」全負責任編好，讓新市長「馬上上手」；明年度預算歲入1702.6億、歲出1775.6億，歲入歲出差短73億餘元，以舉債彌平。

對此，何欣純認為，好的政策當然要延續例如老人健保補助就要繼續，市政不能因為換人就中斷，尤其是照顧孩子、長輩的福利都支持穩定銜接；但外界對於市府有些政策有不同意見，新市長當然有責任，把該調整的部分調整到位。

江啟臣則說，盧市長編列預算不論是免費營養午餐、雙十公車、老人健保，還是加碼的學童鮮乳，都是攸關民生福祉好政策，只要是市民認同的好政策就該延續，未來也會在財政許可下好政加碼，讓台中升級成為幸福旗艦城。

盧秀燕明年度總預算「編好編滿 」 何欣純、江啟臣都說話了


放暑假了！桃園市政府警察局今（30）日晚間啟動青春專案，並於中壢區公所舉辦宣誓活動，市長張善政表示，青春專案自7月1日起至8月底實施，市府將結合警察局及教育、社政等相關局處，加強查緝青少年易聚集場所、防制毒品及詐騙犯罪，同時規劃多元暑期活動，透過預防與輔導並重，陪伴青少年度過安全、充實的暑假。

宣誓儀式後，張善政率領市府聯合稽查小組及執勤員警前往中壢區某撞球場執行第三方警政聯合稽查，本次青春專案活動加入桃園警犬隊，這些平時訓練有素的緝毒「護少神犬」，在現場展示精準的搜捕與偵查能力，迅速將隱匿在角落的仿真毒品全數搜出，不僅展現平時扎實的訓練成果，更象徵市府打擊犯罪、不放過任何陰暗角落的「無死角」決心。

由警察局、教育局、社會局及建管處等單位組成「桃園市府聯合稽查小組」，也啟動全面稽查，針對KTV、網咖、夜店等青少年易聚集的熱點密集臨檢，強力阻絕任何可能侵害少年的不法源頭。

張善政指出，近年毒品型態及網路詐騙手法日益多元，青少年因涉世未深，較容易接觸毒品或誤入網路求職詐騙陷阱，因此市府每年暑假持續推動青春專案，透過跨局處合作，全力守護青少年安全。青春專案除加強查察KTV、撞球場、網咖等青少年易聚集場所，也規劃無人機、熱舞、花藝、書法及各項夏令營等多元課程，提供青少年正向學習、培養興趣及鍛鍊體能的機會，引導暑假生活朝健康方向發展，降低接觸不良環境的風險。

此外，暑假戲水活動增加，近期曾發生青少年違規進入危險水域造成憾事，呼籲民眾務必遵守警示標誌，注意自身安全。

包括警察局長廖恆裕、社會局長陳寶民、衛生局長賈蔚、青年事務局長侯佳齡、原住民族行政局長Panay Mulu、環境保護局副局長呂明錡、文化局副局長唐連成、中壢區長李日強等均一同出席。

警察局少年隊也分享，今年優化「青春補給站」網站，整合暑期打工、志工及活動資訊，並推出「FUTURE IS YOUNG 青春無限」系列活動，包括花藝、書法、無人機科技體驗及反毒反詐熱舞競賽等，鼓勵青少年善用暑假充實自我。相關資訊可至「青春補給站」網站查詢。

傳蘋果遊說白宮，准許採購中國記憶體。圖為蘋果執行長庫克。（法新社）

〔編譯魏國金／台北報導〕韓媒BusinessKorea報導，蘋果遊說白宮，允許向列中國軍工企業黑名單的長鑫存儲採購記憶體，一篇外電抨擊，「蘋果終於瘋了！事實上，中國長鑫的價格與三星電子、SK海力士相近，他們（蘋果）的目標是中國市場」。

長鑫是中國最大DRAM製造商，該公司目前尋求擴大其全球DRAM的市占率，該市場主要由三星電子、SK海力士與美光主導。

之前傳出，由於人工智慧（AI）基礎設施的投資擴大，推升高效能DRAM需求上升，致使記憶體採購成本暴增。一些分析師認為，蘋果意圖採購中國記憶體，以降低成本，然而癥結在於，美國五角大廈將長鑫列入中國軍工企業黑名單，儘管蘋果向長鑫採購（DDR5）並非違法，但需要取得川普政府批准。

對蘋果的批評在網路上越演越烈，網友的反映包括，「它們並不便宜，價格也相當，所以為什麼要使用中國的記憶體」；「美國也在遏止中國，因此一家美國企業有什麼理由反其道而行」？

報導指出，蘋果有意使用長鑫記憶體的原因在於，AI熱潮使全球3大記憶體公司，集中產能生產AI所需的高頻寬記憶體（HBM），導致傳統DRAM與NAND快閃記憶體的供應短缺，價格飆漲。蘋果為此近期調漲MacBook與iPad售價，引發其股價暴跌。

再者，中國長鑫與長江存儲，在政府的大力補貼下，低價量產手機與筆電所需的通用記憶體。從蘋果的角度而言，這些低價中國記憶體，對維持利潤至關重要。另外，蘋果極度不願僅依賴一、兩家公司提供特定元件，而擁有更多供應商，使其削價競爭，是蘋果傳統的供應鏈管理策略。

蘋果iPhone在中國的手機市占率非常高。過去蘋果試圖採用中國半導體，比如長江存儲的記憶體，但面臨美國政界強烈反對，於是蘋果提出妥協方案，表明只有銷售中國市場的iPhone，才會使用中國晶片，此策略不僅節省物流成本，也有利於贏得中國政府與消費者的青睞。

因此，儘管美國政府以安全為由，試圖封鎖中國半導體，但蘋果小心翼翼周旋華府之際，也持續利用中國晶片來維持企業利潤，並打破供應鏈的壟斷。

金門耳鼻喉專科醫師陳信雄辭世，位於金城鎮民生路的「陳耳鼻喉專科診所」招牌，也在今天卸下長達29年的重任，走入歷史。家屬表示，告別式調整到7月16日上午11點在台北市懷愛館「景明廳」，向親朋好友致歉。

連日來，隨著陳信雄的離世，當年他為何以一個來自台南的醫官而留在前線金門行醫的原因也曝光；更有網友憶及，2021年金門機場為防堵武漢肺炎（新型冠狀病毒疾病，COVID-19）啟動快篩站時，當時無懼可能帶來的飛沫傳染而踩上第一線擔任第一位採檢師的，就是陳信雄。

家屬表示，親朋好友的留言、關心，讓家屬在這段最難熬的日子裡獲得許多溫暖與力量；家屬也分享陳信雄去年獲得「全國耳鼻喉科醫學會醫療奉獻獎」的得獎感言，談到當年毅然舉家搬遷金門的原因。

金門行醫近30年的陳信雄在感言指出，1995年剛升任三軍總醫院耳鼻喉科主治醫師，當時三總指派各科主治醫師輪流支援醫療人力不足的金門花崗石醫院，耳鼻喉科的第一棒就是由當時資淺的陳信雄擔任。

陳信雄初次到金門夜診，飛機剛落地就直奔醫院，從傍晚5點半一路看到深夜1點多，後來才知道金門已半年多沒有耳鼻喉專科醫師上島，大批民眾求診還造成剛解除宵禁不久的金門，出現塞車的趣聞。

感言中提及，他過去在三總處理如鼻咽血管纖維瘤這類高風險手術，開刀前都要加強備血、演練止血，沒想到這項訓練，幫助他在金門將1名飲彈自戕造成鼻咽部大出血的士兵，從鬼門關前搶救回來。

還有1次，他結束義診在外參訪，因為手機不普及，突然全島用廣播召他回去花崗石醫院，用食道鏡為1名小女孩取出卡在食道的鴨骨頭，看到她轉危為安，陳信雄深深覺得金門需要有1位常駐的耳鼻喉科專科醫師。

1997年陳信雄因國軍「精實案」得以提前退伍，他腦海浮現的就是「金門更需要我」，因此排除萬難，遷往金門開設「陳耳鼻喉科診所」。

2021年5月26日，武漢肺炎疫情嚴重，中央同意金門自願性採檢，金門機場可設快篩站，但當時疫情不明，全民風聲鶴唳，快篩站的採檢師要扛起第一線檢疫重任，更面臨被傳染的風險；在當時縣衛生局長李錫鑫力邀下，陳信雄二話不說，回答「沒問題」。

陳信雄曾說：「醫生也會生病，醫療好，不只是百姓需要，每個人都需要」宏觀的想法至今仍令李錫鑫難忘。

網友晚間路過基隆文化中心，目睹外牆竟播放日本動畫《劇場版 排球少年！！垃圾場的決戰》，且字幕為簡體字。（照片由網友「ted.pa.yan」授權提供，本報合成）

台中、桃園等國民黨執政縣市，校園、公共場所接連被民眾爆出使用「簡體字」。今（30日）晚間，網友分享自己路過基隆文化中心時，目睹外牆竟在播放日本動畫《劇場版 排球少年！！垃圾場的決戰》，且字幕還是簡體字，畫面曝光，引發全網譁然與炎上。

該名網友在社群平台Threads分享一段影片，透露自己今日晚間7點左右，行經位於基隆市東岸高架附近的「基隆文化中心」附近，沒想到一抬頭，就看到文化中心外牆在播放《劇場版 排球少年！！垃圾場的決戰》的動畫，加上動畫中的字幕是簡體中文，質疑播放團體或單位並未取得正版授權，公然播放非法的盜版動畫。

畫面一出，立即引起大批排民（排球少年粉絲暱稱）關注，並紛紛向《排球少年》在台動畫代理商羚邦提出檢舉，或是私訊詢問是否有和基隆地方團體進行合作。同時，排民還提供可以觀看《劇場版 排球少年！！垃圾場的決戰》動畫的正版平台，包含公視+、Netflix、friDay影音、My Video、Hami Video，呼籲大眾務必支持正版。

還有排民透露，僅在跨國串流平台Netflix看過《劇場版 排球少年！！垃圾場的決戰》提供的簡體字幕，然而原PO在基隆文化中心拍到的影片畫面，裡面的簡體字幕翻譯內容與Netflix完全不一樣，不確定播放者是播放愛奇藝（iQIYI）、嗶哩嗶哩（bilibili）等中國影劇平台的正版版本，還是非法網站的盜版。

其他網友則表示，「版權意識好差」、「麻煩日本趕快來告、」「謝國樑你到底在幹嘛？」、「NBA都播過了，不意外」、「留友看國民黨沒在管版權」、「超丟臉帶頭違法還昭告天下」、「文化中心這麼踐踏文化的嗎？」、「某個族群法治觀念越活越回去」、「幾年前就有在那邊播放航海王了」、「基隆哪個這麼有魄力的單位帶頭公播盜版」、「這事蔣萬安的台北市政府也幹過，還是在跨年時」。

此外，「罷樑」女網友「暗月之鏡」留言透露，她去詢問基隆文觀局，對方聲稱此事是負責基隆「夏日電影院活動」的廠商正在進行「測試」，因此誤播了串流平台的「隨機影片」，之後會進行督導改善、修正。

導演伍宗德揭網紅生態 曝創作者遭霸凌「鏡頭前失聲」

〔記者林欣穎／台北報導〕由資深導演兼製作人「伍哥」伍宗德號召、集結百位網紅打造的公益實境競賽節目《網紅與善的距離》，今（30）日開錄最新一集，邀請金馬導演朱延平、造型師李明川擔任評審。伍宗德也開心分享，節目推出後反應超乎預期，每支短片平均都有20萬次觀看，更希望透過節目，讓外界重新看見網紅的另一面。

伍宗德曾表示，節目並非教人行善，而是希望透過鏡頭呈現網紅最真實的反應，藉此改變流量文化的價值，讓更多年輕族群願意接觸公益。他今受訪時也有感而發表示，許多網紅其實不敢主動做公益，因為一旦拍片分享，就容易遭質疑是在作秀、蹭流量，甚至被網友攻擊，讓不少人卻步。

他所打造《網紅與善的距離》成了網紅們可以好好發揮的平台，不僅所有合作流程公開透明，也堅持節目不接受任何善款，只專注於陪伴、關懷與實際行動，希望讓節目維持「清清爽爽」，建立觀眾信任，也讓網紅能安心投入公益。

談到如今的網路環境，伍宗德坦言，「現在有網紅，就一定有網黑。」來參加節目的創作者幾乎都曾遭遇酸民攻擊，某集節目主題是「網路霸凌」，要揭開過去傷疤讓部分網紅一度壓力大到無法來錄影，或是在鏡頭前一句話都說不出來，他感嘆，網路世界本來就有好有壞，「專注在善，才是最重要的。」

〔娛樂頻道／綜合報導〕大樂透頭獎獎金上看4.4億元，下一個億萬富翁在哪裡？今（30）晚開獎的大樂透不僅創下今年最高頭獎金額，先前加開的29組100萬元獎項也尚有21組未送出，民俗專家楊登嵙公開「5大旺財秘訣」，更點名4大生肖財運最旺。

楊登嵙表示，今日財運特別旺的生肖包括生肖虎、兔、羊、豬，有買彩券習慣的讀者不妨趁著下班快快試手氣。楊登嵙進一步分享「財神方位」開運法，今日財神方位落於東北方和西南方，建議民眾以自己居住地為中心，前往這兩個方向的彩券行購買大樂透或刮刮樂，有助提升財運。

楊登嵙也指出投注站本身坐向為「朝東北」或「朝西南」相對財氣較旺，相對容易開出大獎。幸運色部分，他建議民眾可以選擇象徵「水」與「木」的藍、黑、綠、蘋果綠、橄欖綠、墨綠色，無論服飾、配件或隨身物品都能增強財運能量。


自由開講》一場大雨 沖走了「治水神話」

◎ 板橋挖耳朵

6月25日，一場豪雨襲擊雙北。短短幾個小時，街道化身河道，汽車變成小船，社群媒體被滿滿的積水照片洗版。

6月25日，一場豪雨襲擊雙北。內湖瞬間暴雨，多地出現積水、淹水情形。（資料照）

每逢這種時刻，人民其實沒有太多要求。他們不期待市長會呼風喚雨，也不奢望政府能讓老天停止下雨。他們只希望：不要每逢大雨，就準時上演一年一度的「城市水上嘉年華」。

然而雨才剛停，各種理由就已經備妥。

「雨量超過設計標準」、「短延時強降雨」、「極端氣候」、「百年重現期」。

聽起來都沒錯。但如果每次都是同一套劇本，市民也難免要問一句：「那平常大力宣傳的治水成果，究竟通過了什麼考驗？」

政治人物最怕的，不是下雨，而是自己親手打造的人設，在大雨中被現實逐一拆穿。

平日自詡工程專家、治水高手，人民自然會以更高的標準回敬。一旦街頭積水、交通癱瘓，原本精心經營的加分形象，往往在幾張淹水照片之間，瞬間反轉成選戰攻防的箭靶。這不是政治不公平，這是政治的基本邏輯：你宣稱的高度，決定了你摔落的深度。

有人說，面對極端降雨，換誰來都一樣。

這話或許沒錯。沒有人真的期待政客能替天行道，攔截每一滴雨。問題從來不是雨下多大，而是承諾說多滿。當一位候選人以治水政績為核心賣點，當「88毫米防線」成為競選廣告的主角，那麼88毫米以內的降雨換來50公分的積水，就不再只是氣象數據的問題，而是一道政治信用的考題。

治水神話，不是被這場雨沖走的。是被自己說過的那些話，一句一句沖走的。

更值得深思的是，這場大雨所揭露的，不只是某一位政客的破綻，而是台灣政治文化中一個長期存在的結構性習慣：晴天造神，雨天甩鍋。

每到選舉，工程變政績，數字變神話，記者會的簡報做得比排水系統還要精良。每逢災情，極端氣候成擋箭牌，設計標準成免責聲明，市府新聞稿的反應速度永遠比抽水馬達還要快。

人民不是不懂天氣，也不是不理解工程的極限。他們只是愈來愈清楚一件事：一座真正韌性的城市，不是靠記者會撐起來的。而一個真正有擔當的政治人物，在大雨過後，說的第一句話不應該是解釋，而是道歉。

這場雨會退。積水會消。

但那句「監督力道更大」、那條「88毫米防線」，會在每一次的雨季，準時回來找它的主人算帳。

海鯤號不使用鋰電池  台船董事長曝原因


盧秀燕明年度總預算「編好編滿 」 何欣純、江啟臣都說話了


立院國民黨團提出無人機條例草案前夕，台中市長盧秀燕夜會黨籍立委商談相關草案，稱無人機是新護國神山，「造山者」要有決心及行動，所以她特地跟黨籍立委會面集思廣益；民進黨台中市議會黨團痛批無人機已淪藍營想選總統者的角力籌碼，盧秀燕先放任藍委封殺行政院版條例，根本不是在替台灣的無人機產業造山，只是在替自己造王；對此，盧秀燕未進一步回應。

盧秀燕近來積極鎖定無人機議題發聲，包括7月2日與美國在台協會（AIT）在台中舉辦無人機論壇，北上夜會藍委，今更搶在藍營公佈黨版條例前再發聲強調，台灣要打造下一座護國神山產業，「造山者」要有決心、要有行動，「所以我特別北上跟立院國民黨團立委會面」集思廣益；還要行政院跟民進黨跟進多了300億且內容更優的國民黨版預算2400億。

民進黨台中市議會黨團總召周永鴻斥，藍營內部不少人搶當「造山者」，但國民黨5月先砍軍購特別條例中無人機等項目，再卡行政院版，現在喊加碼，「這不是造山，是先把山炸了、再回頭喊蓋山」，盧秀燕與其要別人跟進，不如先要求子弟兵讓行政院版進委員會審查。

民進黨台中市議員江肇國更痛批，無人機條例和軍購案一樣，已淪國民黨內有意角逐選總統大位者的角力籌碼，盧秀燕先放任藍委封殺條例，假裝關心產業、拉攏立委、對中國、美國表態，「不是要替台灣造山，只是在替自己造王」，台灣無人機產業跟國家安全不能葬送在這樣的人手上。

民進黨台中市長參選人、立委何欣純再喊話，中央政府有計畫、目標要引領台灣無人機產業，行政院提出特別條例匡列預算才能讓產業放心永續經營投資。

7月新制 鮮乳亂標示恐遭重罰 化粧品全面GMP

【記者賴玟茹／台北報導】衛福部自7月1日起將有多項新制正式上路，包括乳品標示、婦幼照護、長期照顧、醫療健保及化粧品管理。其中，配合農業部區隔進口與國產乳品，國產牛羊乳須取得鮮乳標章才能標示為「鮮乳」；婦幼部分則提高新生兒篩檢補助，並新增脊髓性肌肉萎縮症（SMA）篩檢。

因應紐西蘭乳品零關稅輸台對本土酪農業的衝擊，衛福部食藥署修正乳品標示規定，自7月1日起，僅取得中央農業主管機關核發鮮乳標章或驗證標章的國產牛乳、羊乳，才能標示為「鮮乳」；其他產品須標示為「牛乳」、「羊乳」或其他食用動物乳名稱。

食藥署表示，新制是為了避免市售乳品名稱混淆，所做的調整，違規標示最高可處新台幣400萬元罰鍰。

在婦幼照護方面，自7月1日起，新生兒篩檢補助提高至750元，並正式將基因罕見疾病「脊髓性肌肉萎縮症」（SMA）納入篩檢項目，使補助項目擴增至22項。

此外，產前遺傳診斷檢驗與血液細胞遺傳學檢驗的補助，也各調高2千元。而攸關孩童成長黃金期的預防保健服務，補助次數也從7次增加至9次，並加強視力、聽力及口腔的健康檢查。

面對台灣進入超高齡社會的衝擊，長期照護制度也迎來新變革，新制首度將智慧科技輔具納入補助範圍。符合資格的家庭，可申請智慧照護、防跌移位、居家照顧床及安全看視等科技設備，並新增每3年補助6萬元的靈活方案。

長照人員認證制度即日起實施，確立不適任人員的退場機制，違規者取消資格且永不錄用，以保障服務對象權益；同時，放寬長期未登錄或中斷服務人員認證的更新方式，降低人才回流門檻。

在日常化粧品安全方面，全台化粧品製造場所，即日起全面強制適用化粧品優良製造規範（GMP）。除了免辦工廠登記的固態手工香皂業者外，所有品牌廠商皆須建立嚴格的產品資訊檔案，完整保存原料來源、製程及品質管理紀錄。◇


無懼威脅 神韻重返多倫多 議員：我們做對了！

加拿大聯邦國會議員Anna Roberts（右）觀看了6月27日下午，神韻紐約藝術團在多倫多四季表演藝術中心的第三場演出，並為神韻頒發褒獎函。（新唐人電視台）【記者李佳／加拿大多倫多報導】2026年6月27日，神韻紐約藝術團在多倫多四季表演藝術中心（Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts）的兩場演出大爆滿。當天，多名國會議員和省議員向神韻頒發賀信，還親臨劇院觀看演出，祝賀神韻藝術團在經歷了今年3月的炸彈威脅後重返多倫多。

「謝天謝地，神韻回來了！」國會議員Anna Roberts觀看演出後表示，「這是一場非常美麗的演出，每一個人都應該有機會欣賞。」已五度觀賞神韻，她表示：「整場演出令人歎為觀止，看到他們如此傑出、如此有才華，真的令人佩服！」

議員：不允干擾演出的行為

談及今年3月29日四季表演藝術中心因炸彈威脅而取消神韻演出的事件，Roberts表示，自己前一天就在現場，「我觀看了第一場演出，後來第二場就被取消了。這種事情不應該發生在加拿大，也絕不能被加拿大所接受。神韻是非常美好的演出，她讓人們重新認識和欣賞中華文化與藝術。任何干擾演出的行為，都不允許發生在加拿大。」

Roberts表示，神韻再次重返多倫多令人振奮，「這是一個非常好的象徵，代表我們做對了事情。我們絕不會允許任何人用霸凌和恐嚇的方式讓我們退卻」，「我很榮幸能夠站在他們身邊，支持他們。」

神韻是勇氣的典範

加拿大國會議員Dan Muys盛讚神韻藝術家：「感謝你們一直堅持創作，儘管你們承受著各種壓力，也目睹了周遭所發生的一切。你們就是彰顯勇氣的最真實典範，這正是我們希望看到的勇氣，也是所有加拿大人都應該展現出來的精神。」

「由於北京共產政權發出威脅，導致（神韻於今年3月）演出兩場後被迫停演，這本身就是錯誤的」，他說，「我們不能向中（共）國的跨國鎮壓屈服，（停演）是不對的，這不是加拿大應有的樣子」，「所以，今天（神韻）能夠重新回來演出，真是太棒了。」

「這真是一場視聽盛宴」，Muys說：「我們都相信神、相信創世主、相信善良、相信善待彼此，也相信應該規範自己的言行。而這些理念，也正通過神韻的信息充分地展現出來。」

保護全球的專利，是研發型企業的核心價值，也是對客戶合作的承諾。2025年玻璃大廠康寧（Corning）提交了近400項專利申請，國際申請近1,000項，目前全球累積的有效專利高達約11,400項。

智慧財產權、多元化布局與歷史價值觀

過去在電信泡沫時代，康寧曾因過度依賴單一市場而遭受重創。這個慘痛經驗讓他們後來堅定執行「審慎多元化」的策略，藉以平衡商業風險，並確保研發方向與更廣泛的商業定位相符。

透過現場參訪多個核心實驗室，我親眼見證了他們的技術底蘊。在工程材料加工實驗室，觀察了研發熔爐與實際的玻璃熔融工藝，親身體會到什麼叫「實驗室規模的量產模擬」。

在光通訊實驗室，深入探討了光纖技術，以及當前AI浪潮下最關鍵的共同封裝光學（CPO）趨勢。從雷射可靠性設施，看到許多與半導體產業緊密相關的先進雷射應用與測試。而在新興創新項目區，窺見了許多尚未正式曝光、面向未來的尖端研發項目。

現場的實地演示，完美印證康寧的成功方程式：用實驗室規模的靈活研發，加速向工業化製造的轉化。這不僅加深了他們與客戶在產品與製程選擇上的對話深度，也為我們在思考跨國研發布局與長期技術投資時，提供了極具價值的標竿典範。

玻璃的五千年歷史 顛覆想像

黃仁勳為何投資32億美元在康寧身上？

也許NVIDIA看到的是光纖取代銅線，以及散熱節能的商機。但在人類的生活經驗上，五千年歷史的玻璃，從神權、君權時代，到文藝復興、近現代的應用各有特色，也顛覆了我們原先的想像。

在康寧人非常自豪的玻璃博物館裡，看見玻璃藝術的精華，體現在光與影的應用。玻璃之美，很難用文字形容。看似傳統工藝的玻璃生成與裁切技術，玻璃經由不同的材料組合，產生不同的硬度、尺寸、形狀與延展性，在多元無窮的變化中，我們當然看到了加入不同變數的素材，可以帶來無窮的變化，而這些變化都是世界與科技演化的重要元素。

重視研發的康寧，在發展過程中難免面對智財權被竊的案例，通常康寧會積極保護自己的研發成果，輕易和解，背離了康寧這類以研發能力取勝的公司經營法則。

玻璃生產的第一個流程是從熔爐內倒入玻璃液，在冷卻的過程中快速拿捏形狀，這時相關材料配方、溫度、熔爐設計，以及工匠的手藝與事前構思的形狀都是企業的核心價值。

如果我們沒有基本的尊重，竊取每一個過程的配方或創意，當然可以讓事業縮短學習曲線。技術竊取者最關鍵的弱點，是不經過研發過程的事業模式，對於產品與技術的進程不容易掌握，簡單說就是「知其然，不知所以然」。

玻璃反映君權、神權、人權演化 也照見康寧的獨一無二

玻璃與陶瓷，這兩種無機物質最大的差異是玻璃透光且脆，而陶瓷通常不透明，但硬度很高。這兩者在人類過去5,000年的歷史中，存留了很多實體證據，與人類的發展史息息相關。

從古埃及的建築廊柱，到希臘羅馬時代的玻璃瓶，文藝復興時代教堂的彩繪玻璃，以及近代專為COVID-19（新冠肺炎）設計的疫苗專用瓶，我們看到了玻璃在生活應用上的各種可能，甚至我們可以理解玻璃應用從最初的君權、神權、人權的演化過程。

君權時代的玻璃，滿足皇帝個人的喜好，神權時代，工匠們透過創意、美學將彩繪玻璃之美擴大到極致。如果您有機會近距離觀察彩繪玻璃，您可以發現彩繪玻璃是在多層次的透明玻璃中，找出色彩疊加與遠距離觀察之美。

康寧是美國少數仰賴量產製造，仍然可以繁榮發展的美國企業，大中華區總裁曾崇凱說，康寧的高階管理團隊中，不少人出身西點軍校。美國GDP來自服務業的貢獻，製造業僅佔有10%，但類似康寧擁有頂尖技術的公司，不必與矽谷的公司對比，而是發揮自己的優勢。

一方面必須以全球觀點建立生產的經濟規模，再則就是告訴員工「康寧獨一無二」。我也常說，如果您是市場領先者，不必在意市佔率，而是重新定義市場，讓競爭者看不到車尾燈。

資本主義櫥窗看寶島 從紐約度量台灣本色

就在我出訪紐約的那一天，我在台北國際電腦展（COMPUTEX）的會場，主持光寶論壇，光寶總經理邱森彬親自陪同我參觀光寶專為AI伺服器設計的電源系統。只看到背後密密麻麻的線路，我們可以明白，基於省電等多重考量，這個龐大的電源系統，不僅需要更好的穩定性、品質，所有的線路未來也會從銅線改變成光纖。

除了康寧之外，我們還拜訪了哥倫比亞大學、彭博社（Bloomberg），我們能跟他們談什麼合作呢？

紐約街頭有各式各樣的人種，印象中髒亂的中央車站與週邊的百老匯（Broadway）、林肯大道已經大幅改善，路過NASDAQ，有人正準備敲鐘，應該是一家遊戲軟體公司，很多人把NASDAQ敲鐘，視為事業經營的里程碑。

紐約是資本主義的櫥窗，這裡離台北很遠，我們可以拉近距離，或者根本保持距離，維持台灣的本色與核心優勢呢？（本文為黃欽勇撰稿，陳嘉慧整理）

萬里路，萬卷書：紐約之行（二）東岸優勢 加州也比不了


曼哈頓區聚集了金融巨鱷，到了週末更是人潮洶湧，在時代廣場附近甚至連移動都有困難，這時到中央公園散步成為最好的選擇。公園仿自然生態的森林、小河，在梧桐、松樹、橄欖樹不規則的排列中，在市區的中央公園，真的是紐約人最佳的休憩地。

下午的計畫是到百老匯聽歌劇，《The Lion King》已經公演將近30年了，在這齣音樂劇中，我能感受到黑人演員為主的演員們盡情演繹非洲人快樂的一面。

走在紐約街頭最深刻的印象是，人潮由不同種族組成，不少是東方人面孔，偶爾可見穿著傳統服飾的非洲裔，拉丁裔的美國人也可以試著從外貌猜出一二。歌舞昇平是我對紐約的解讀，光在中央公園附近就有七、八個博物館、美術館。

征戰國際頂尖市場 自助也得人助

夜裡，我在旅館收看彭博（Bloomberg）的財經節目。73歲的主持人David Westin正在專訪People Inc與幾位媒體的工作者，詢問AI對媒體業的影響。第二段的專訪針對太空產業，他又訪問了SpaceX的競爭者Launch on Demand的CEO談美國的太空產業，以及中國的「太空絲路（Space Silk Road），這些題目，都不是台灣常見的財經議題。

David Westin年紀不小，依舊坐在錄影機前侃侃而談老一代人難以理解，下一代人很難清楚描述的新興產業。老人家試著以智慧挑動受訪者的思緒，在對方不經意露出的破綻中找出些可以追根究柢的題材，好題材永遠不缺觀眾，與主持人的年紀也沒有太大關係。

兩位台灣朋友幫忙，我穿梭於紐約Bloomberg與哥倫比亞大學的六個單位，從早忙到晚，中餐是Bloomberg隨手拿的一根香蕉。

Bloomberg對DIGITIMES專注亞洲ICT供應鏈，並能以自然語言答覆專業問題的功能很有興趣。至於哥大，我希望能善用台灣產業優勢，合作發展國際學程，並進一步成為國際市場新事業。

Bloomberg成為DIGITIMES學習典範

如果說DIGITIMES要找學習典範，那麼Bloomberg就該排第一。在人工智慧的非常時代，一定要努力成為「媒體走向新時代的先行者」，與彭博的互動，更堅信這樣的看法。

Bloomberg專注財經新聞，也善用AI等新工具，這是我最看好的媒體經營模式。除此之外在參加Blommberg執行長Vlad主持的「Generative AI Forum」時，我看到他們涵蓋的範圍更廣，面對的是全球關鍵的資訊流、金流，紐約客面對的是全球市場，經營難度比我們高太多了！

那麼，44年來堅持高品質資訊的Bloomberg，在AI新時代何處引人注目，又有哪些值得我們關注的經營理念呢？

參訪頂標公司，印證經營理念

Bloomberg結合新聞、數據庫、研究報告的三項優勢，是標準的知識型服務公司，也與DIGITIMES的經營模式不謀而合。

但我們只侷限於半導體、亞洲的ICT供應鏈，與Bloomberg實力仍有很大的距離。但從頂流公司的經營策略、進度，可以知道自己離世界主流、頂標有多大的距離，也可以找到差異化的經營策略。

Vlad在論壇開場時便說，所有的公司都在面對如何在AI時代尋找正確的發展戰略。對資訊提供與服務供應商最大的挑戰是我們既要創造更多的資訊，讓使用者在最大基礎的資訊源中，以最好的效率得到最有價值的資訊，這也是DIGITIMES強調「Insights with Speed」的精神。

但就經營實務而言，資訊成本愈來愈高，雜訊愈來愈多，哪些資訊存在被積累的價值，這些每一件事都可能顛覆過去的想像。

亦即，過去成功的經驗可能是今日的負擔。對絕大多數媒體而言，過去的榮耀、影響力正快速的衰減中，但彭博以專業社群為對象，提供其他公司難以企及的專業力、品質，現在再加上AI驅動的服務機制，很顯然AI不是挑戰，而是機會。

回到台灣，我腦袋裡記得Bloomberg技術長Shawn Edwards的一句話，他說AI的大進化，讓很多公司在前五個月，就花掉了整個公司全年的IT預算。大家應該超前部署，在應用過程中調整步伐，而不是繼續等更好的應用方案。

產業進步很快，我們沒有喘息的空間。「Into workflow」是我們因應AI時代的經營法則，而「Governance」則是讓所有投資得到回報的關鍵。

Bloomberg Intelligence這個部門，在過去贏得了市場尊敬，仰賴的不是流量，而是被信賴的專業資訊，而所有的資訊專業與否，與讀者本身的判斷力、專業能力息息相關。

史記商鞅列傳曾說「民不可與慮始，可與樂成」，意思是政策有執政者的深度、遠慮，與一般庶民百姓商議於事無補，但可以與他們共享成果。我們無法用這樣的理論來杜悠悠之口，但也可以知道專業的訊息很難與一般庶民大眾共同討論商議。

「Portfolio Management」將會是Bloomberg規劃事業的基礎，他們也將不斷的衍生出新的事業體，帶進新的營收與成長空間。AI的價值就在於連結或區隔不同的領域，以最佳化的模式推演具有決策價值的答案。

我們可以預期，未來當AI應用更趨成熟時，所有問題都會基於夠複雜的假設才可以推演答案，經營者、團隊、股東都必須做好專業的準備才能因應未來的變化。在真正進入成熟應用之前，99%資訊都可能是「垃圾」，相對的投資一旦達到「Critical Point」前，價值只是逐漸推升而已，一旦過了門檻，就可能是指數型的成長，我們準備好了嗎？

Multiple Platforms Vs. Multiple Functions

Bloomberg技術長Shawn Edwards說，我們都很難預期AI會以這樣的速度推進，現已進入到成熟應用階段的AI商機，不會是泡沫，而是正在加速前進的新浪潮。

由於多重技術同步發生，這也造成所有複雜的問題可以在更民主、多元的資訊架構下得到好的解答。關鍵是這是正向螺旋，更多人用、更好的平台都會加大產業對人工智慧的投資，已經起步，並且走在軌道上的公司都有比較大的勝算。

另外一個關鍵是好好使用Token，也創造更多的Token。鼓勵員工在事業範圍內使用Token，支付Token的錢。明確理解「Value capture」的機制是什麼？

我們也要瞭解現在「五個月用掉一整年IT預算」的機率大增，當我們發現AI的價值時，會不會果斷的加碼投資呢？硬體製造其實都是跟在軟體架構確定之後才開始的，硬體產品成為瓶頸的問題並未解決。

找到更好的連結，讓客戶協助創造更多的優質資訊，並且一起訓練AI。就是B2B的商業與運作機制，不必討好每一個人，但要有明確的定義、定位與定價。一旦定義出合適的市場，與同業或類同業有對比的異同差別，那麼好的定位可以讓您事半功倍，減少事業經營的阻力。

Bloomberg的競爭對手是華爾街日報（WSJ）、經濟學人（The Economist）嗎？

當然不是，他們針對的是高階財經族群，但內容規劃不同，不同的定位區隔、減少了彼此之間競爭的關係，反倒成為上下游之間的客戶。所以，未來知識型服務業在專業領域的資訊豐富度、深度、廣度都將成為被檢視，以及拉開與競爭對手距離的關鍵要素。

看似不同，但其實觀念上是異曲同工的（Look different, but conceptually same）。

一次近乎完美的紐約之行

這是一次近乎完美的紐約之行，從台北出發，扣掉飛機上與交通時間，整整一週穿梭於紐約不同的生活情境中。

到康寧體會玻璃藝術之美，體驗科技可以交錯發展的極致。玻璃之美來自光影、折射、配方、形狀，也來自工藝大師對於技術與美學的執著。

科技大廠一定要在大城市裡嗎？您願意用青春去換取在工作上絕對的成就嗎？從玻璃到光纖有多大的想像空間，這件事跟台灣有什麼關係？

出門在外，「美食」是生活上的重要慰藉，這一點紐約不讓人失望。紐約也是美食之都，美食集中在時代廣場附近，除了吃了Wolfgang的牛排、Hard Rock的大漢堡早餐之外，有一天早餐吃港式飲茶。我用一蘭拉麵洗滌亞洲人的腸胃，而昨晚幾條街之外，一家看似酒吧的泰國餐廳裡，竟然隱藏了美味直逼胡志明市獨立宮前，我最愛的牛肉河粉。

對一個一輩子從事產業觀察工作的人而言，「學習」絕對是生活的一部分。Bloomberg是我學習的對象，一整個上午的論壇沒有冷場，除了Bloomberg自己的CEO之外，其餘都是AI相關專家，我們聽到的是專業精髓，不是公司宣傳。

相較於摩肩接踵的時代廣場，在曼哈頓北端的哥倫比亞大學校園不大，但到處流露出長春藤名校才有的文化氣息，與我們討論合作國際學程的教授Grace，帶我們去附近的法國餐廳吃飯，也讓我為紐約的美食加分。

最後，留點空閒的週末時間，逛逛大都會博物館。在紐約曼哈頓區，走路是最好的選擇，逛完大都會博物館，走路回旅館，路上有很多街頭藝術家，給他們掌聲、留點小費，這個城市的旅遊經驗就很完美了！（本文為黃欽勇撰寫，陳嘉慧整理）

萬里路，萬卷書：紐約之行 （三）Bloomberg成為DIGITIMES的學習典範


在商務往來中，互換名片是一種常見的禮儀。我擔任幾個縣市政府的顧問，以及幾個大學的講座教授，因此擁有六七種不同身分的名片，在不同場合給予不同名片，偶爾拿錯名片會讓人尷尬。

現代初次見面，若忘記帶名片，或沒有名片，有時會拿起手機說：「我們加個Line，WhatsApp，WeChat吧。」這有時讓人為難，因為彼此尚不熟悉，加Line變好友可能會收到一堆不想接收的資訊；已讀不回又會被認為太高傲。實體名片雖然無法建立即時通話，但其運用方式有時更能洞察人性。如果在遞名片時加註文字，往往蘊含微妙的玄機。

早期的名片稱為名刺或名帖，是參見達官貴人的敲門磚，因此有阿諛諂媚的表態。傳聞清末孫中山（1866～1925）留學歸國，途經武昌，投名帖謁見湖廣總督張之洞（1837～1909），名帖內頁寫道：「學者孫文求見之洞兄」。張之洞心中不齒，認為籍籍無名的白衣儒生，不自量力，竟敢稱兄道弟，於是在名帖背後書以一聯，命閽人退還，聯曰：「持三字帖，見一品官，儒生妄敢稱兄弟」。孫中山看了不怒反喜，提筆覆以一聯：「行千里路，讀萬卷書，布衣亦可傲王侯」，請閽人再傳進去，針尖對麥芒地回敬張之洞。

雖然印刷術早在宋朝時已發明，但民國成立前名帖幾乎都是手書，手寫名帖往往有拍馬屁的花招。戲劇《精忠旗》第六折「奸黨商和」描述秦檜的奸黨何鑄、羅汝楫、万俟卨一起拜謁秦檜，名帖上分別寫著「晚生何鑄」、「門下晚學生羅汝楫」，及「門下沐恩走犬万俟卨」，以示謙卑。何鑄見了搖頭嘆息：「約定一樣寫「官銜晚生」，為何又加「門下晚學」、「沐恩走犬」字樣？這樣我又不濟了！」

在清朝官場，官小使用較大的名片以示謙恭，官大使用較小的名片以示地位。大官「賞」名片防止被用來招搖撞騙，會加註不能作別的用途。例如溥儀的英文老師莊士敦（Sir Reginald Fleming Johnston）的名刺，正面書「莊士敦」，背面則印「專誠拜謁，不作別用」。莊士敦用紅色名刺以示身分。我到科技部服務後，簽名也被製作成燙金紅色名帖，逢年過節用得到，這對我而言，是奇特的經驗。

實體名片的文化會否改頭換面，重現於今日的虛擬通訊軟體？而今日的通訊軟體結合名片和電話的功能，又會發展出何種新文化？這些都是值得思考的問題。

名片文化


隨著招募流程的兩端逐步由AI代勞，一份履歷能不能進入入圍名單，可能取決於一個求職者完全不知道的因素：履歷協作的模型，跟篩選履歷的模型，是否為同一家。

2025年底收錄於人工智慧倫理與社會研討會（AIES 2025）的一份研究，就這件事進行系統性的實驗。研究在控制履歷品質之後，比較模型生成與人工撰寫的履歷在不同模型中的評價：當撰寫與評審（模型）來自同一家，求職者進入面試入圍名單的機率高出2成到6成；在多數測試案例中，同等品質的履歷，模型對 AI 生成內容的評分高於人工撰寫版本。研究稱這個現象為「自我偏好（self-preference bias）」：語言模型會偏愛自己生成的內容，即使品質已被刻意控制。

這份研究的實驗場景，如今已貼近現實。HireVue 2026調查顯示，逾7成HR團隊已定期在招募流程中使用AI，近7成求職者也已用AI起草履歷。一邊用AI審、一邊用AI寫，已是現況而非未來情境。

對堅持自己撰寫履歷的求職者，這意味著可能在不知情的情況下，僅因履歷未經模型加工，就在評分上落後。

這個現象，2026年6月有了更具體的面貌。AI工具比較業者i10X Research發布1份產業測試報告，讓幾個主流模型互評同一位虛擬求職者的履歷，只換成由各家模型分別撰寫的版本，再交給各模型逐一評分。這份報告來自產品行銷背景的業者，非學術同行評審，但凸顯相當現況。i10X Research的商業測試顯示，各家模型的偏好傾向差異相當大：Claude對GPT撰寫版本的錄取率，比對自身風格版本低了約5成；GPT對自身版本的評分反而偏低，呈現反向的自我懲罰；Gemini撰寫的版本不分評審者都受到青睞。在i10X的測試設定中，同一份文件由不同模型評審，差距可以大到足以讓結果從「待定」滑向「淘汰」。這延伸原始研究對「模型風格會影響模型評分」的觀察：不是每個模型都偏愛自己，而是每個模型都有自己的評分傾向，求職者完全無從得知評審偏好那套模型。

AI評審的脆弱性，學術審稿已先凸顯。2025年中起，多篇arXiv稿件被發現在PDF裡藏進肉眼看不見的指令，要求語言模型審稿人給予正面評價，實驗顯示這類手法可以把模型評分推近滿分。頂尖會議ICML 2026 把相同做法反過來用在稽核：在論文PDF嵌入隨機詞彙，若審稿人偷用語言模型代寫意見，詞彙就會混進評語；2026年3月公布的結果，逾500位審稿人被偵測到違規，其中不少人因身兼投稿審稿人，所投論文遭退件。這套攻守兼備的機制對B2B場景的啟示在於：指令注入手法既是攻擊面，也能作為稽核工具的設計基礎。

履歷只是起點，影響不會停在這裡。

當企業流程的兩端都開始由AI代理人處理，一端用AI起草報價、技術方案、法遵文件，另一端用AI篩選與評分，「用哪一家模型」會成為過去不存在的競爭變數——過去企業競爭的是價格、品質、交期；未來還可能競爭「模型相容性」。

機制尚未完全釐清，但有幾種可能的解釋。語言模型在生成內容時，似乎帶有可被自家模型識別的「風格指紋」——句構偏好、用詞分布、段落節奏。一個可能的解釋來自後訓練（post-training）階段：RLHF、DPO等對齊訓練以相同的訓練目標，同時塑造「怎麼寫得好」與「什麼算寫得好」，風格與好惡因此一起被寫進模型權重，評審模型可能因此將這些熟悉的風格特徵誤判為較高的內容品質。研究也驗證，透過提示工程要求模型主動識別並校正自身偏好，偏差可下降5成以上；但這並非預設行為，企業內部的AI評估流程多半還沒有寫進作業規範。

把場景移到台灣產業，有可能受影響的是自動化報價與RFQ初篩。試想：買方以AI從上百份供應商技術文件中挑出前段名單，供應商也以AI起草標案。若這套篩選以文本摘要或技術敘述做初步排序，而買賣雙方使用的是不同家的模型，供應商可能在價格、交期等結構化條件被充分比較之前，就因文本風格不符模型偏好而落後。這個情境目前仍是推斷，但隨著AI在採購流程的應用逐步深化，陸續發生的可能性不低。供應商盡職調查與法遵審查也在其中——ESG報告、資安自評書，愈來愈多由AI起草、也可能再由AI審查，同源偏差的空間同樣存在。需要說明的是，研究測量的偏差幅度建立在文本敘述上，B2B 採購裡的價格、交期、認證等結構化欄位仍佔相當權重，整體入選率不會直接受到相同幅度的影響。但只要評估流程裡有任何一段是模型對模型讀「敘述」，這一段就有結構性偏差。

防禦方向可能不複雜，但需要刻意設計。受評文件與評審模型最好不來自同一個模型家族；高金額或高敏感度的決策，應採多模型並行評估、考量評分差異；結構化資料與文字敘述分流計分，避免後者拉偏前者；可能暗藏內容的格式（如 PDF、Word）進入評估流程前，應做指令注入過濾；重要閘門保留人工抽查。這些不是技術突破，而是治理設計，目前產業界的 AI 導入多半停在工具層，治理層大多仍是空白。

同源偏差以外，還有另一層問題值得思考：當評估流程由人換成模型，人類評審辨識「少數亮點」的能力，可能也悄悄消失了。一百份履歷裡長得不一樣的那個人，一百份提案裡帶著真實觀點的那份文件，在傾向偏好熟悉風格的模型眼中，可能反而是扣分項。HR篩選、績效評估、供應商評鑑、學術審稿，都面臨類似的結構。如何在AI介入的決策流程裡，刻意保留人類洞察的空間，目前仍是個開放的問題。

前言

2026年5月，DIGITIMES英文版訪客已經達到307萬人次的新高點，這個數字大約比2022年9月時的75萬次多了大約4倍。彭博社（Bloomberg）與康寧（Corning）總部都有很多我們的讀者，我因此受邀，也趁著這次訪問紐約的機會，到哥倫比亞大學洽談以台灣半導體業資深人士為班底，共同開設國際半導體學程的可能性。

在康寧看到材料工業的各種可能

離紐約市區200英里遠的紐約上州，有一座以康寧命名的小鎮。1851年誕生的康寧，原本創辦於紐約的布魯克林區，因為遭遇祝融之禍，遠在200英里外的康寧鎮，以水陸交通要地的條件吸引康寧來此落腳，現在這個7,000多人的小鎮，多數仰賴康寧生活，也乾脆改名康寧。

這家以玻璃工藝著稱的公司，在175年的發展過程中也不是一帆風順。除了一開始的祝融之禍外，網路興盛之初，大家看好「光纖到戶」的商機，康寧加碼投資，但在光纖被戲稱為不亮的光纖（Dark Fiber）之後，康寧在資本市場暴跌。2008年金融海嘯期間的股價不到10美元。康寧大中華區總裁曾崇凱說，那時真的有做白工的感覺。

但多年來，每年保留一定研發預算的康寧可以創造出多大的可能，而與亞洲供應鏈之間的關係，在光通訊可能成為數據傳輸解決方案的新時代，可不可能有結構上的變化呢？

所羅門園區：研發與製造的完美融合

了解康寧的全球研發（R&D）結構與運作模式，讓我對這家百年企業的創新哲學有了更深層的體會。在長期投入研發的過程中，康寧也淬煉出更明確的經營哲學，並強調「實驗室與量產製造的整合」、「與客戶深度協作」，以及「對基礎研究與智慧財產權（IP）的長期守護」。

參觀所羅門園區（Solomon Park）時，讓人震撼的是整體的規模與功能設計。

規模與運作：整個園區佔地高達200萬平方英尺，裡面容納了將近850個實驗室，他們把材料研究、製程開發、試點製造（Pilot Manufacturing）和後勤支援完美融合在一起。

人才密集度：現場除了管理高層，還有500多位博士科學家與技術人員，建構出一個能做到端到端（End-to-End）技術與營運執行的強大團隊。

核心優勢：專門的「研發熔爐」等特殊工具，意味著科學家在測試新的材料配方時，可以直接進行接近量產環境的試驗。實驗過程中，不需中斷現有的生產線，不僅大幅降低研發成本，更縮短了技術從實驗室走向規模量產（Scale-up）的時間。

這種按照專長能力（Capability）編組的設施，目的就是讓研發人員在「第一天」就把製造可行性納入考慮，有效解決研發與生產端常見的交接斷層，並促進跨職能解決問題。

在正式參訪研發基地之前，已經先在康寧的博物館見識到玻璃應用的多種可能。康寧博物館中展示的玻璃，讓我們看到玻璃依靠著光影，折射展現出不同的美感。

何謂美，「審美」就是在看似相近的物體中找出些微差異的能力，技術的研發不也如此嗎？如果只是從中擷取部分段落的技術，不僅傷害原創者的價值，長期而言對於使用者、社會也是個傷害。

對康寧而言，原創技術是公司存在的核心價值。如果我們知道發明光纖的時間是1970年，從1970年迄今的55年，如果沒有企業長期支持，對核心價值與文化的堅持，光纖不會成為今日大家關切的焦點。

全球研發網路與區域分工

2000年前後，光纖到府（FTTH）的浪潮吸引了康寧布下重兵，搶攻光通訊的商機。但事與願違，剛過千禧年的世界，還沒有準備好用光纖傳輸大量的數據。如今才在人工智慧快速普及的大環境下，讓光纖再度成為眾所矚目的焦點，康寧也在NVIDIA注資32億美元的加持下，在資本市場中，從金融海嘯時的谷底，強力翻揚。

當然，這並不意味著營收、獲利也等比成長，康寧如何布局，才是產業界應該關注的焦點。康寧的研發並非高度集中在單一據點，而是以不同的戰略定位，在全球9個研發站點分散式管理與推進。

例如區域性的專業研發中心，蒙特婁、芬蘭和印度側重於「建模與物理中心」，法國楓丹白露則是「跨能力實驗室」。

一部分研發中心考量鄰近客戶，刻意將「區域工程中心」設立在靠近製造工廠與客戶的地方。這樣的好處就是能即時導入新製程與新設備，並以最快速度解決工廠和客戶特有的痛點。

核心集中：像上海、南韓等站點負責協調區域能力，但大規模玻璃熔融這類核心技術，依然高度集中在少數特定的核心據點。

創新漏斗：康寧的創新起點，源自無數個微小的點子與探索性實驗。隨著技術、市場或優先順序的轉變，很多概念在過程中會被淘汰。他們認為，成功是建立在對材料、製程和產品理解的層層遞進。康寧每年在研發與工程的投入高達10億美元。其中約80%的資金專注於現有業務的近、中期工作（確保眼前的商機），另外20%則堅定地分配給長期的探索性基礎研究。

基礎研究的「守護者」：大家都知道長期基礎研究成本很高、風險大，在當前許多企業紛紛縮減這類投入的盲目風潮下，康寧卻把自己定位為這筆投資的「守護者」。歷史證明，這些沉澱下來的基礎知識具有差異化優勢，能在未來的數十年內、在不同的領域被反覆重組與利用。

完備的知識管理：康寧嚴格執行「內部技術報告」的撰寫。即便是失敗、沒有走到最後的項目，所有實驗數據和汲取的教訓都會被完整記錄下來。這樣一來，過去的失敗經驗就成了未來研究的養分，可以避免後人重蹈覆轍，也能基於前人的基礎繼續堆疊各種Know-how。（本文為黃欽勇撰稿、陳嘉慧整理）

About Camalot

Founded as the Knight Tool Company in 1976, by Patricia and Bill Cavallaro. Camalot developed automated liquid dispensing equipment for the printed circuit board, semiconductor, hybrid, automotive, industrial and medical industries. Knight Tool pioneered the first “automated” liquid dispensing system: for producing temporary solder mask for the printed circuit board industry. In 1987, Camelot (as it was branded then) made its initial foray in electronics assembly under the leadership of Ken Cavallaro (Bill and Patricia’s son) through the design of an automated liquid dispensing system for an aerospace application.

Since then a legacy of innovation and a solid reputation for producing high quality, durable products such as the 3800, XyflexPro+, FX-D and the latest platform, Prodigy, has in turn enabled our customers to maintain the high standards demanded by the electronics industry. Continued development around dispensing technology ensures, Camalot remains one of the world leaders in the dispensing field. Thousands of systems have been sold worldwide in their 30 years of operation, a high standard of after sales service and support ensures optimal machine utilization and guaranteed performance.
