Receiving a warning letter from China while attending National Day reception, Indiana State Treasurer emphasizes continued exchanges with Taiwan ZH出席國慶酒會收中國警告信 美印第安納州財長強調繼續對台交流
Newtalk新聞 美國印第安納州財務長艾略特今天在臉書公布,中國駐芝加哥總領事館發函關切他出席駐芝加哥辦事處舉行的國慶酒會。艾略特認為,中共無法指揮印州官員如何行事,與台灣經濟交流符合印州利益,也將持續。 印第安納州財務長艾略特(Daniel Elliott)9日出席駐芝加哥辦事處舉辦的115年國慶酒會,他27日在臉書(Facebook)公布,中國駐芝加哥總領事館12日對財務長辦公室發出的關切信函,要求未來避免與台灣官方互動。 他回應寫道,拒絕接受外國政府的政治訴求可以左右印州官員合法行事的言論。 艾略特指出,北京可以發送想送出的信函,但他只對印第安納州民負責。中共無法指揮印州官員如何工作,印州合法與台灣經濟交流,這符合印州利益,也將持續。 他寫道,在印第安納州,政府為人民工作,人民無須為政府服務,中共長期反向而行並監視自己的人民,現在看來似乎還延伸至監視印州民眾選出的代表。想知道為何一個外國政府如此密切關注印州官員。 艾略特強調,印州與台灣經濟互動符合印州利益,無論中共意欲如何,雙方經濟交流將持續。由印州與台灣的經貿關係來看,中共的手段不讓人感到意外,特別是印州已規範限制外國勢力購買農地,當中包括與中國政府有關的購地案,財務長辦公室會持續保護印州農地。 他寫道,印第安納州財務長辦公室的表現破紀錄,過去3年增加約18億美元投資金額。這封信函出現的時間和論調顯示,應更加關注印州成功的故事。財務長的任務是為州民服務,守法及完成交付的責任。印州會持續合法與台灣進行經濟交流。延伸閱讀:美五角大廈與洛馬達成10年框架協議 至少生產850架F-35美戰爭部宣布:中國孔子學院是美國國安威脅童文薰觀點》中國是提款機,美國是葉克膜:魯拉贏了,矛盾還在AUKUS「第一潛艦」確認 美「科羅拉多號」將首駐澳洲干擾美國期中選舉 俄羅斯特工植入深偽影像

Meeting Taitung musicians, Tsai Ing-wen supports Chen Ying's music original base policy ZH會台東音樂人 蔡英文力挺陳瑩音樂原創基地政見
Newtalk新聞 身兼民進黨台東縣長候選人陳瑩競選總部主任委員的前總統蔡英文,今天(27日)PO出應邀與金曲獎得主桑布伊及多位台東音樂人在台東座談音樂心得感想。蔡英文感謝邀請,並力挺陳瑩提出的「音樂原創基地」政見,強調台東發展不必複製其他城市,應發揮山海與多元文化優勢。 座談中,音樂人分享在台東創作、表演的經驗。有人指出,台東從不缺優秀音樂人,缺的是能穩定演出的場域;也有人期待未來能有更穩定的資源,支持持續創作。蔡英文聽完後表示,台東有山有海、有不同族群文化,以及一批從這塊土地長出來的音樂人,這些都是台東最珍貴的資產。 蔡英文認為,「音樂原創基地」真正重要的不只是多一棟建築,而是要有穩定的演出場地,讓音樂人能表演;有創作、錄音與製作資源,讓年輕創作者有機會被看見;也要有長期支持,讓好的音樂祭與演出不只辦完即結束,而能慢慢累積成台東自己的音樂產業。音樂也能成為吸引外地人到台東的理由,為一場演出而來,住一晚、多待幾天,走進酒吧、餐廳與部落,因一首歌重新認識這個地方。 蔡英文期待,若陳瑩當選縣長,能讓台東的音樂在本地好好長大,再從台東唱到更遠的地方。延伸閱讀:遼寧號「切西瓜」穿越菲島 專家:中國對菲外交再顯失敗AUKUS「第一潛艦」確認 美「科羅拉多號」將首駐澳洲楊宏基觀點》不是「超譯」是「畫錯重點」 「第一天就投入」簡譯不負責又危險台東縣長號次抽籤出爐! 陳瑩2號、吳秀華4號台南車站鋼琴爆紅!蔡英文驚問變音樂廳 黃偉哲搬出4年前「魔法棒指揮」神哏

Liaoning aircraft carrier 'cuts watermelon' across Philippine islands; experts: China's diplomacy toward the Philippines shows failure again ZH遼寧號「切西瓜」穿越菲島 專家:中國對菲外交再顯失敗
Newtalk新聞 軍事專家王臻明今天(27日)分析,中國解放軍海軍遼寧號(舷號16)航空母艦編隊近日幾乎以「切西瓜」方式,直接穿越菲律賓中部水域,威嚇意圖十分明顯,同時也再次暴露習近平政府對菲律賓外交政策的失敗。 王臻明指出,前兩天菲律賓海軍正式確認遼寧號編隊通過巴西蘭海峽(Basilan Strait),進入西里伯斯海(Celebes Sea)北端後繼續向東航行,進入菲律賓海(Philippine Sea)。由於菲方並未全程監控,從已知資料推測,編隊應是進入南海後先穿過民都洛海峽(Mindoro Strait)進入蘇祿海(Sulu Sea),再抵達巴西蘭海峽與西里伯斯海。從文字敘述難以感受這趟航程的特殊性,但繪製成圖面後可清楚看見,遼寧號幾乎橫切菲律賓群島中心,對菲律賓施壓的意圖昭然若揭。 過去因美菲特殊關係,僅有美國航空母艦編隊會採取類似路線,直接穿越菲律賓中央的蘇祿海。王臻明認為,中國此舉除向菲律賓施壓外,也與正在進行的美日「利劍27」(Keen Sword 27)聯合演習互別苗頭。在軍事層面上,更是在宣誓中國有能力阻擋美國航艦編隊從菲律賓海直接穿越菲律賓進入南海。這可能迫使菲律賓重新檢討目前的陸基反艦飛彈部署,因為中國艦隊已進入菲律賓中心的蘇祿海。 王臻明進一步表示,這又是習近平政府對菲律賓外交政策完全失敗的另一個例證。王臻明認為,經濟攏絡才是最有效的手段,中國近幾年卻放棄手上最有效的王牌,改以軍事恫嚇為主。反觀美國主導呂宋經濟廊道,廣邀各國進行投資。遼寧號「切西瓜」的舉動「適得其反」,只是再次強化菲律賓戰略位置的重要性,反而讓菲律賓與美國的經濟合作更為緊密。延伸閱讀:AUKUS「第一潛艦」確認 美「科羅拉多號」將首駐澳洲應對人口老化挑戰台星大不同 新加坡2029年起法定退休年齡提高至65歲楊宏基觀點》不是「超譯」是「畫錯重點」 「第一天就投入」簡譯不負責又危險習近平反腐十多年仍難止高層落馬?矢板明夫點出五中全會3大觀察中國逐步失去對菲涉華言行耐心?菲專家分析:中國恐祭10項反制措施
