苗栗縣竹南鎮長參選人何秀綿因涉嫌賄選被法院裁定羈押禁見，為地方選情投下震撼彈。其對手無黨籍參選人葉忠倫今接受媒體訪問時表示，案件已進入司法調查程序，一切尊重司法並靜待調查，秉持「勿枉勿縱」原則。

葉忠倫指出，選舉應是「選賢與能」且公平競爭，大家都不樂見賄選發生，既然案件已進入司法調查程序，一切尊重司法並靜待調查，秉持「勿枉勿縱」原則，若確實有不法動作當然不好，但若無其事也應還給當事人清白。

請繼續往下閱讀...

另一方面，媒體前往何秀綿競選總部訪問，支持者說何秀綿性格豪爽，從政十幾年來的努力大家有目共睹，當前聲勢良好「根本不需要去賄選」；支持者說，據了解何當時僅是受邀前往參加客廳會，懷疑過程中遭有心人士「設計」與陷害，才會被牽著走演變成如今局面。

The issue of arms sales behind the scenes of the meeting between Trump and Xi Jinping attracted attention, and experts from US think tanks analyzed China’s intention to gain the right to speak.

The U.S. Congress has passed a $14 billion arms sales package to Taiwan, but the White House has not yet approved it. Ken Moriyasu, a senior researcher at the Hudson Institute in Washington, pointed out that China is trying to influence U.S. decision-making by threatening to cancel the Trump-Xi meeting. But in fact, the Trump administration agreed to US$11 billion in arms sales to Taiwan last year. If cooperation on Iran and Ukraine cannot be reached before the end of December, Trump may conduct arms sales. This move does not constitute a message of abandoning Taiwan.
