Newtalk新聞 台中一家科技公司涉嫌違法將疑為中國製晶片混入軍方採購的無人機。經軍方自檢告發，台中地檢署日前指揮搜索偵辦後，依涉犯國家安全法等罪，將負責人杜姓夫婦聲請羈押禁見獲准。 台灣台中地方檢察署告訴中央社記者，全案為軍方自檢告發偵辦。被告杜男、黃女經檢方依違反國家安全法向法院聲請羈押禁見獲准，案件仍持續偵查釐清。 檢方查出，杜男在台中市豐原區經營科技公司，以製造遙控直升機起家，曾在全球遙控直升機市場占有高比例市占率，有「遙控直升機之王」封號。 涉案公司近年投入無人機產業，並長年投標軍方、警用與消防用途無人機，承包政府相關標案。經國防部陸軍單位向該公司採購無人機，用於訓練與教學用途，軍方驗收產品時，發現機內晶片印有「CN」等字樣，疑為中國生產。 檢方偵辦時，調查該公司承包國軍另一批無人機貨品，發現晶片同樣疑似來自中國地區，今年10月中旬指揮警方與調查局等單位，搜索涉案公司帶回杜男與其妻黃女及公司人員等6人偵辦。 檢方認為，依據軍方投標契約規定，相關產品不得使用中國與港澳地區產品，杜男等人涉犯國家安全法、刑法詐欺等罪，偵辦後向法院聲請羈押禁見。延伸閱讀：中國造出三體潛航戰艦 疑「浮動武庫」威脅1500公里外航艦群兩度在台灣會面！紐時披露中國女間諜企圖接近 黃仁勳回應了蔡康永認政治風暴代價大但｢要那些小朋友被壓迫死？｣ 呂秋遠：那就表態吧中國出手助選！沈伯洋說台北市長不是由北京指定 央視氣噗噗：抗中騙選票女中尉墜樓案究責！顧立雄證實206旅長、政戰主任調職

Newtalk新聞 藝人蔡康永日前現身民進黨台北市長候選人沈伯洋造勢活動，遭中國品牌切割，引發熱議。他近日接受資深媒體人王偉忠專訪，坦言因為同志身分，無法對政治議題置身事外，即使面臨中國抵制，也不在乎「身敗名裂」。對此，陸委會副主委梁文傑30日在Threads發文表示，蔡康永的一席話讓他相當感動，但他認為王偉忠同樣值得尊敬，因為即使兩人政治立場不同，王偉忠仍選擇邀請老友上節目，沒有為了明哲保身而劃清界線。 梁文傑指出，如果是在中國，聰明的人即使沒有表態站隊、「大義滅親」，也可能選擇與爭議人物保持距離，更不用說公開邀請對方上節目，但王偉忠並沒有這麼做。這番話引發網友共鳴，貼文截至31日上午8點已獲得超過2.7萬個讚。 不少網友留言表示，王偉忠先前才因專訪沈伯洋遭到批評，不可能不知道再邀請蔡康永受訪可能引發的爭議，「這也是需要勇氣的」。也有人認為，王偉忠原本可以選擇不播出，甚至剪掉部分敏感內容，但他仍保留完整對談，展現對多年好友的尊重。 還有網友感性表示，王偉忠在訪談中的眼神流露出無奈、溫柔，以及對朋友選擇的理解。即使雙方理念不同，仍能坦誠交流、彼此傾聽，正是台灣社會需要的對話方式。另有網友指出，專訪選在同志遊行及台北市長辯論前夕播出，兩人應該都清楚可能引發的政治效應。 蔡康永在專訪中也首度深入談及，促使他現身沈伯洋造勢活動的原因之一，就是10月初台北市警方搜索西門町同志酒吧「Commander D」所引發的執法爭議。他回憶過去公開同志身分的艱難，認為社會好不容易逐漸擺脫對同志族群的歧視與汙名化，不能眼看過去的壓迫再次出現。 蔡康永強調，自己無法接受同志權益走回頭路，更不希望年輕世代再次承受相同壓力。他也坦言，雖然參與政治活動讓自己在中國的事業蒙受損失，但仍不後悔做出選擇，甚至直言「不在乎身敗名裂」。 而蔡康永的一席話，不僅讓外界重新關注同志權益與政治參與，也讓這場跨越不同政治立場的老友對談，意外成為網友討論焦點。許多人認為，王偉忠願意傾聽、蔡康永坦率表達，即使彼此觀點不同，依然能維持友誼、理性對話，展現不同立場之間相互尊重的可能。延伸閱讀：專訪沈伯洋被立場偏藍朋友飆罵三字經！ 王偉忠深夜找蔡康永談心對話曝光蔡康永談現身沈伯洋造勢場原因！ 台北市警方搜索同志酒吧執法爭議是關鍵現身沈伯洋造勢活動陷政治風暴 蔡康永：想看有人做到就事論事、開朗理性蔡康永認政治風暴代價大但｢要那些小朋友被壓迫死？｣ 呂秋遠：那就表態吧蔡康永曝酒吧搜索促站台 沈伯洋：營造同志友善環境政府責無旁貸
