矢板明夫為日本資深媒體人及印太戰略智庫執行長,今年7月在台中遭遇襲擊,初期被外界質疑為誤認或單純治安事件,但台中地檢署經偵查後認定為有組織跨境暴力行動。
針對印太戰略智庫執行長、日本資深媒體人矢板明夫今年7月在台中遇襲事件,台中地檢署6日公布偵查結果,並對施暴嫌犯求刑5年。對此矢板明夫指出,偵查結果顯示,事件並非最初所稱的「認錯人」,也不是中國國台辦所稱的「單純治安事件」,而是一場「有組織、有計畫、有報酬」的跨境暴力行動;檢方更明確指出,其目的是製造寒蟬效應,達到「殺一儆百」效果。
矢板明夫6日在臉書粉專「矢板明夫俱樂部」發布貼文稱,感謝檢警在短時間內釐清真相。他並指出,近幾個月來,類似事件正在不同民主國家接連發生,包括在美國有人被控涉嫌替中國政府監視總統賴清德的家人;南韓一家取名「習近平」的中餐館遭4名中國籍男子闖入破壞;台灣卡米地喜劇俱樂部則因有表演者曾公開嘲諷中國國家主席習近平,場地遭人投擲混有白漆與糞便的物品。

矢板明夫認為,這些事件反映出一項值得高度警惕的現象,即「中國式的跨境鎮壓」正從網路恐嚇走向破壞財物、僱人施暴,從針對個人延伸至其家人,也從台灣、香港,擴展到美國、南韓等民主社會。
他指出,這類行動真正想製造的不只是一次傷害,而是一種恐懼,讓準備批評中國的人開始擔心自己的家人是否會遭到監視、公司或店家是否會被找麻煩,以及自己是否可能遭人守候襲擊。
矢板明夫表示,當人們開始因為恐懼而自我審查時,跨境鎮壓的目的就已經達成。他形容,「這一次,拳頭雖然是打在我的臉上,但它真正想打掉的,是所有人說話的勇氣」,因此這不只是他個人的事情,也不能只被視為一起普通的治安案件。
針對如何因應跨境暴力,矢板明夫主張,民主國家有必要聯合起來,台灣、美國、日本、南韓以及所有民主陣營夥伴,都應建立共同防線,防止中國威權政府持續將暴力與恐懼輸出至民主社會。
矢板明夫強調,自己不會因為這次遇襲而沉默,反而將繼續做自己認為正確的事情,持續為台灣及自由發聲,並推動台灣與民主國家的交流合作。
他表示,暴力的目的是讓人閉嘴,因此「最好的回答,就是繼續說自己想說的話、繼續做自己想做的事」。

The FBI arrested a Chinese woman named Zhang Wanying who was suspected of spying on Lai Ting, the son of Taiwan President Lai Ching-te, and his family for the Chinese government. Former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence said that China is the biggest economic and strategic threat facing the United States in the 21st century. The Wall Street Journal editorial pointed out that this incident was the latest evidence of Chinese espionage, saying that Beijing's actions harmed U.S. interests and failed to act as a force for world peace.

During an inspection at a Maryland shipyard, U.S. President Trump said that the United States bears almost all the responsibility alone in the conflict with Iran, and that global allies have shifted the burden to the United States. He criticized allies for being unwilling to fund or send ships to assist, emphasizing that the United States is willing to take responsibility and thus becomes stronger, while other countries become weaker.

US President Donald Trump said he would soon speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin about a reported plague death of a laboratory technician in Siberia's Irkutsk region, as Washington pressed Moscow for transparency. Russian authorities denied imposing anti-plague measures and downplayed the incident, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the WHO urged Russia to share more information.

China plans to elect Song Li, a senior public health official with 20 years of experience in maternal and child health policy and international cooperation, to run as Secretary-General of the World Health Organization to expand its influence after the United States withdraws from the WHO. Currently, six candidates have made their identities public, and the WHO is undergoing restructuring due to funding gaps.

The fighting between the Yemeni government forces and the Houthi armed forces escalated, and Saudi Arabia led the multinational coalition to intensify the attack. The Houthi armed forces said they launched dozens of attacks in Lahj Province, causing more than 200 casualties, and also attacked Saudi airports and military bases. Saudi Arabia has carried out air strikes in many places in Yemen, and the two sides are competing for strategic locations such as the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Analysts believe that the conflict is difficult to completely resolve through military means and may fall into a tug of war.

China Pulse's semi-annual poll shows that most Chinese people prefer pressure and coercion rather than direct use of force on the Taiwan issue. However, if Taiwan declares independence, 77% of the respondents support attacking Kinmen and Matsu. After Trump's visit to China in May, the proportion of those opposed to the use of force rose to 40%, indicating that the US-China relationship is becoming a "friend and enemy" state.
