Why It Matters

美國民主黨在期中選舉奪回國會參眾兩院多數席次,川普政府遲未批准的140億美元對台軍售案後續動向備受關注。美國8名跨黨派參議員曾在5月聯名敦促川普正式向國會通報這筆軍售案,但相關程序迄今未完成。立法院財政等7個委員會今日召開聯席會議,審查115年度中央政府總預算追加預算案。

美國民主黨在期中選舉一舉奪回國會參眾兩院多數席次,川普政府遲未批准的140億美元對台軍售案,後續動向備受關注。國防部長顧立雄今(5日)表示,美國國會一向跨黨派支持強化台灣防衛力量,國防部將持續與美國國會議員溝通,並與美國戰爭部保持密切聯繫,確保相關軍售落實。

美國總統川普今年訪問中國後,總額高達140億美元、約新台幣4600億元的對台軍售案持續延宕,對台軍售是否成為美中談判籌碼也引發爭議。美國8名跨黨派參議員今年5月曾聯名敦促川普正式向國會通報這筆軍售案,但相關程序迄今未完成。隨著民主黨在期中選舉取得國會兩院多數席次,這筆軍售案的後續進展也成為關注焦點。

立法院財政等7個委員會今天召開聯席會議,審查115年度中央政府總預算追加預算案。針對美國期中選舉結果,媒體會前詢問川普執政面臨國會變天,是否會對美國對台軍售產生影響。

顧立雄回應,美國國會長期以來,不分黨派都支持增強台灣防衛力量,台灣也會持續與美國國會議員溝通,「我們也會跟美國戰爭部保持密切聯繫,來確保這些相關軍售的落實。」

此外,國防醫學院一名陳情人指控就學期間遭性侵,校方事隔8年重新召開性平會認定性侵成立,卻僅對行為人記兩大過、未予退學,陳情人並質疑校方處理失職。顧立雄表示,據他初步了解,案件已進入司法程序並遭起訴,被申訴人已被暫停醫師職務,至於相關程序及處理情形,國防部將進一步了解。

What’s the message for China as Japan weighs US$500 billion defence surge?

Japan is considering nearly doubling its five-year defence spending to as much as 80 trillion yen (US$508 billion), up from roughly 43 trillion yen under the existing programme, according to Japanese media reports. Analysts say the build-up could strengthen Japan's ability to deter or respond to People's Liberation Army operations around Taiwan and the East China Sea, and sustain prolonged operations in a regional conflict. The increase remains subject to government negotiations as Japan prepares to revise its three key national security documents by year-end.
