林佳龍:中國要求暫停對台軍售是認知作戰,自圓其說

Quick Look

外交部長林佳龍指出,中國要求美國在川習會前暫停對台軍售屬認知作戰,意圖製造川普因習近平訪問而不軍售台灣的假象,實際上軍售仍需國會程序,且台美關係穩定,台灣利益即美國利益。

中國國家主席習近平預計於9月24日訪美會晤美國總統川普,傳出中國要求美方不得在川習會前通過第2批對台軍售。對此,外交部長林佳龍今(15)日表示,中方此舉是在進行認知作戰,在川習會前夕創造「因為川普在乎習近平來訪,而不軍售台灣」的說法,是在自圓其說。

林佳龍今日上午接受廣播節目「POP撞新聞」專訪表示,美國政府一再表態,台灣政策沒有改變,台海和平與穩定符合包括美國與全世界的利益,台美關係有「台灣關係法」與「六項保證」做基礎。

請繼續往下閱讀...

林佳龍指出,這一次習近平計畫訪美是互惠性回訪,應會以儀式性為主。習近平一定會想藉此次訪問提及台灣,但美中之間仍有貿易、投資、採購、AI競爭等棘手議題要談。

針對日媒先前披露,中國已要求美方,不要在川習會談前批准新的對台武器出售案。林佳龍認為,這是中國在操作認知作戰,先行放話要求不要在川習會前對台軍售,但實際上,川習會僅剩沒幾天,對台軍售還要走美國國會程序,尚在審查中,中方試圖藉此創造「因為川普在乎習近平來訪,而不軍售台灣」的說法,是在自圓其說。

談及中國,林佳龍指出,中國上想「管理川普」,並促成「中美共管台灣」;但實際上台美溝通很好,是台美要去「管理中國」,台灣支持美國去穩定對中關係,但這無關乎、也不會去傷害台灣的利益。台美關係大家應該關心,但不用到擔心。

林佳龍強調,台灣利益就是美國利益,在印太第一島鏈、非紅供應鏈、全球民主價值鏈上,台美都有共同利益。外交是建立在國家利益的基礎上,既然台美有共同利益,美國便不會去犧牲台灣來傷害自己。

最後,針對總統賴清德未來出訪及過境美國規劃,林佳龍表示,邦交國一定會有互訪,會妥善安排在適當的時機與方式進行;賴總統先前已曾過境美國夏威夷訪問太平洋友邦,未來若出訪更遠的拉丁美洲,美國作為過境必經之地也是正常的,一切都會依照安全、尊嚴、便利、舒適原則處理,只要行程排好就可以出發。

Legislator Gao Jin Sumei’s chief accountant Zhang Junjie was involved in the Communist espionage case: he broke his electronic bracelet and absconded, and the bail money was confiscated

Zhang Junjie, the special assistant to Legislator Gao Jin Sumei, was suspected of collaborating in the espionage case. He broke the electronic bracelet and absconded. The NT$10 million bail was ruled confiscated by the Taipei District Prosecutor's Office. During the investigation by the prosecutors, Zhang Junjie disguised himself and changed vehicles to create a breaking point. The responder did not know him, which showed that there was organized assistance behind the scenes. The media reported that he had been the secretary-general of the China Unification Alliance since 1993 and had invited the SAIC team to Hong Kong to participate in a United Front training course. It was suspected that the fifth column helped him during his escape. Zhang Junjie has transferred as much as 120 million yuan in overseas funds over the years, which is inconsistent with his income, and he was identified as a communist espionage fund provided by China. Former office director Chen Zhicheng made huge profits from investing in a bakery, and still went to Hong Kong with Zhang Junjie to participate in United Front activities. The Taipei District Prosecutor's Office stated that the case is under ongoing investigation and is unable to respond to media reports.

Kuomintang congressman ranted about medical care in the emergency room, and the double standards of the second generation of politicians caused controversy

Kuomintang city councilor Li Baiyi yelled at the medical staff because his child had to wait for half an hour in the emergency room. He later apologized for being a bad father. He had previously defended Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan's eldest son's exchange student controversy, highlighting the double standards of the privileged class. The article points out that this type of behavior is not an isolated case, and warns that the "Six Reforms to Four" bill promoted by the Kuomintang will drain medical resources, and calls on the public to strictly resist the bill at the institutional level to protect Taiwan's health care.
