Newtalk新聞 國際媒體《彭博》（Bloomberg）今天（9日）報導，18日至19日在中國深圳舉行的亞太經合組織（APEC）領導人會議，將是日本首相高市早苗與中國國家主席習近平在2025年「台灣爭議」後首次接觸，為避免高市遭到「冷遇」，日本政府正積極協調向中方尋求保證，要求給予高市與其他領導人同等禮遇，至少在正式場合有慣例性握手。報導稱，「若出現不尋常安排」，日方將提出抗議。另傳言，高市可能藉由11月16日馬尼拉東協峰會機會與美國總統川普（Donald Trump）碰面，藉此向北京傳遞訊息。 《彭博》指出，中日關係因高市2025年11月在國會稱「台灣有事」可能構成日本「存立危機事態」而急劇惡化，跌至1972年邦交正常化以來的低谷之一。中方隨後採取稀土出口限制、海鮮禁令及旅行警告等措施回應，並對高市個人言論攻擊較為集中。正式雙邊會晤可能性低，雙方接觸或僅限於領導人晚宴等正式議程中的寒暄。 新加坡媒體《聯合早報》報導，日方擔心若遭冷遇，將加深中日矛盾，並可能使高市顯得被美國孤立。特別是在美國總統川普計劃在APEC期間與習近平、俄羅斯總統普丁（Vladimir Putin）舉行三方會談，若會談確定成形，將是二戰後核武大國首次會晤，進一步增加高市相對孤立的風險。 為緩解壓力，傳出高市早苗將利用APEC前於菲律賓馬尼拉舉行的東協峰會期間與川普碰面，藉此向北京傳遞訊息。《彭博》分析，這是高市9月在紐約聯合國會議期間採用的類似策略，試圖確保日本利益不被中美談判犧牲。專家分析指出，北京近年對日本的批評已高度個人化，集中在高市身上，提高中方可能在APEC借機降低待遇或公開批評日本的可能性。 截至目前為止，日本外相茂木敏充僅以「朝出席方向進行協調」說明，保留避免難堪場面的轉圜空間。台灣方面，總統府亦尚未公布台灣領袖代表人選。回顧過往歷史，過去中國主辦APEC峰會，2001年上海峰會，時任總統陳水扁原本希望親自出席遭拒，指派前副總統李元簇，再遭中方以過於政治性為由拒絕，台灣因此抵制並缺席領袖會議，創下1991年加入APEC後首次缺席紀錄；2014年北京峰會，當時兩岸關係較緩和，時任總統馬英九指派前副總統蕭萬長出席，習近平與蕭萬長有短暫雙邊接觸、會面，中方在「一個中國」與APEC「經濟體」框架下給予相對平穩待遇，沒有發生公開冷遇或重大摩擦。延伸閱讀：跟我們沒關係！中國官媒否認北京涉黃仁勳婚外情 控美媒捏造間諜敘事深圳APEC將上演「三巨頭」會談？川普「預告」將會習近平、普丁楊宏基觀點》都更困境核心：專業算帳之外更需顧及人性高市「台灣有事」發言滿周年 矢板明夫：台日關係走向安全共同體林保華觀點》萬安模仿洋流 切莫流出醬油
