Why It Matters

习近平访美期间,中方要求预留5小时休息时间,引发外界对其健康状况的关注。

Font size

美國《華爾街日報》2日獨家披露,美國總統川普與中國國家主席習近平9月舉行峰會期間,中方提出要求,要替習近平預留5小時休息時間,並安排專用休息室,讓習近平的身體狀況成為關注焦點。資深媒體人矢板明夫強調,對一個73歲的獨裁者而言,他的身體狀況就是最重要的政治問題。

矢板明夫提到,習近平這次抵達美國安德魯斯聯合基地,下飛機舷梯時,一隻手抓著欄杆,另一隻手伸向彭麗媛,兩人一路牽著手往下走。兩天之後,在國家檔案館上台階時,兩人又一直牽著手。而《華爾街日報》報導認為,從畫面上來看,兩人牽手不一定只是夫妻之間普通的牽手,也可能有支撐身體的作用。

請繼續往下閱讀...

矢板明夫指出,習近平以前和彭麗媛出訪時,彭麗媛手上都會提著皮包,這本來也是第一夫人外交造型中很常見的一部分,但是這一次訪美,彭麗媛沒有拿任何包包,「她的手空出來了」。矢板明夫推測,如果一個人下飛機時需要一手抓欄杆、另一手牽著身旁的人,那麼站在旁邊的人保持雙手自由,確實會更方便在必要時提供支撐,彭麗媛現在或許已經成為習近平的「拐杖」了。

矢板明夫強調,習近平的健康是中國的最高國家機密,我們不能僅透過幾張照片就輕易下結論,但是對一個73歲的獨裁者而言,他的身體狀況就是最重要的政治問題,尤其是在沒有明確接班人的情況下。矢板明夫最後也說:「有時候,政治的變化,就藏在一些不起眼的細節裡。」

During this year’s National Day holiday, tourism and cultural consumption across the country continued to heat up, with reservations at major scenic spots such as Beijing’s Badaling Great Wall and Sichuan’s Jiuzhaigou reaching peaks. Local governments and business districts combine festival activities with consumption incentives and digital shopping promotions, resulting in strong demand for smart wearables and AI products. China's railway passenger volume has reached a record high, with about 284 million passengers expected to be sent during the holidays. A fleet of 5,000 drones in Nanchang lit up the night sky and became the focus of foreign media.
