Why It Matters

英國「衛報」3日披露,英國右翼民粹政黨「英國改革黨」(Reform UK)的首席媒體主持人艾迪生(Ray Addison),在過去1年中曾為中國官方宣傳頻道工作,美化中共對新疆的統治,引發強烈抨擊。

報導指出,艾迪生目前負責英國改革黨的官方播客(Podcast)與社群宣傳活動,但他在2025年9月曾擔任中共中央宣傳部直接掌控的中國環球電視網(CGTN)記者,主持名為「雷蒙德的新疆故事」(Raymond’s Xinjiang Stories)系列影片,大力讚揚新疆的基礎設施,並稱當地涉嫌強迫勞動爭議的棉田「絢麗」,盛讚科技帶動棉花增產與產業轉型。

請繼續往下閱讀...

CGTN因被認定受中共控制,已於2021年遭英國主管機關吊銷廣播執照。

艾迪生為中國官媒效力的過往,與英國改革黨長期以來的反中強硬立場,形成強烈對比。該黨黨魁法拉吉(Nigel Farage)今年初曾公開警告,對中國在英國從事間諜活動、竊取工業機密並滲透大學,感到「極度憂心」;黨籍議員布瑞弗曼(Suella Braverman)也曾直指北京在新疆犯下種族滅絕罪行。

英國改革黨副黨魁泰斯(Richard Tice)更曾明確表示,對中共在各領域的擴張深感焦慮,尤其是其對台灣的威脅,主張西方世界應在軍事與經濟上強硬反擊,批評前保守黨政府過於軟弱。

曾遭中國制裁的前保守黨黨魁史密斯(Iain Duncan Smith)對此嚴詞批評,質疑該黨事前並未落實盡職調查。史密斯強調,在中國一切皆由國家控制,受僱於官媒即等同受僱於中共政權。

英國改革黨證實,事前已知悉艾迪生曾任職於中國官媒,但未具體說明審查機制,僅發表聲明強調該黨堅持批評中國的既有立場,並表示艾迪生曾任職於英國新聞台(GB News)等國際媒體,從未隱瞞過往經歷,其履歷在網路上皆公開可查。

Pentagon removes classified documents in response to China Post report

The Pentagon removed decades of classified documents from its SIPRNet system after the Washington Post reported that top generals expressed concerns about the war in Iran. The document involves the Secretary of Defense's order book, which records the location of warships and weapons systems and allows generals to express disapproval. The spokesman did not deny the change, but emphasized that operational decisions are made through appropriate safe channels. The move could limit access to information for emergency military planning.

Harris Harris returns to campaign front, triggering polarized reaction in Democratic Party

Former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris actively participated in the 2026 midterm elections, endorsing Nevada Attorney General Ford and New Hampshire Senate candidate Bappas. However, candidates in swing districts and conservative states such as Iowa, Alaska, Wisconsin, and Kansas publicly opposed her auxiliary election, fearing that her low personal favorability and high overall dissatisfaction with the Democratic Party would become a resistance to votes. Candidates in deep blue states embraced her support, highlighting the polarized attitude within the party about her role in paving the way for the 2028 election.
