台東公教人員人口數不少,這次台東市區里長選舉就有6人有警界背景,其中還有現職巡官參選,這也是台東選舉史上第二位現職警參選,憑藉對地方的熟絡和無虞的生活,這批現、退職警將投入選戰,而新生里更由2位小隊長級別的退警競選,狀況更是特別。

現任議員尤忠正為台東首位帶警職參選者,而在此激勵下,後續也引起不少警界人士嚮往地方政壇,胡光榮是第二位帶職參選者。特別是這次的新生里,以往台東分局的小隊長陳棟祥、縣警局偵查大隊小隊長李明華也都早就放話要參選;另外早已退休並任里長或公職者,如交通隊退休的賴允文為豐谷里長、仁和里李坤智也曾在台東分局皆求連任,前寶桑里長潘調志也是警界退休,今轉戰市代。

目前在台東分局勤務中心擔任巡官的胡光榮,日前已登記參選建國里長參選,已從警30年,本就預計今年底退休,若順利當選,則在退休日12月25日當天延續公職。

胡光榮表示,自己在上次大選後迄今籌備3年餘,由於自己兒時住在寶桑路空軍宿舍,不僅有在地情誼,民國80年還在此任管區4年半,憑藉著管區在地人脈爭取支持,政見以里內福利、關懷低收弱勢與老人、協助處理法令問題。

特別的是,這次新生里由陳棟祥、李明華2位偵查體系退休警競選,2位本就是不同單位的同僚這次要在選舉場廝殺。陳棟祥在台東分局任小隊長時期,當年正好是檳榔攤、銀樓搶案正盛,老部屬說:「小隊長都退休超過5、6年了,當年辦的慣犯們還不斷進出監獄」;而李明華則是專責查緝組織幫派,以往還得過模範警察。

有里民表示,由於現任里長年長改派妻子參選,不少退休警對法令與行政系統的了解,加上地方人脈熟絡,也更有信心參加選戰。李明華說,其實眾人的政見大同小異,自己也知道「學長級」的陳棟祥要競選,雖然都彼此知曉要參選,「大家也沒說好,相信對方和自己一樣為了服務里民而參選,各憑本事吧!」以往曾任2人隊員的偵查佐則「慶幸」,還好自己不在新生里,否則可能要「全家配票、平分2位小隊長」。

Several Guatemalan congressmen have visited China, causing concern. Foreign media revealed that they were suspected of being funded by China or Huawei.

Many congressmen from Guatemala, a friendly country of Taiwan, have traveled to China to participate in technology activities in recent years. Foreign media reported that some of the trips were suspected of being funded by the Chinese government or Huawei. Experts described them as "political tourism", which has attracted attention from the outside world about Beijing's expansion of influence in Latin America and Taiwan's diplomatic relations with Guatemala.

How can Chinese and Latin American civilizations enrich the universality of global human rights?

Ruben Don Unzueta, a professor at the Catholic University of Peru, said in an exclusive interview with China News Service that both Chinese civilization and ancient Latin American civilizations attach great importance to community and public interests in terms of rights concepts, which complements the Western human rights system that emphasizes individual freedom. China and Latin America attach importance to sovereign equality and development rights due to their shared colonial historical experience, and advocate that the universality of human rights should respect multiple paths to realize it, and promote the voice of the Global South in human rights governance through civilizational dialogue, youth exchanges and language cooperation.

Xu Xinying was promoted to Zhutong Township but was mistakenly named "Chutong Township". Green camp candidate comments were ridiculous

Xu Xinying, a candidate for Hsinchu County Mayor of the Kuomintang, proposed the political idea of "upgrading Zhudong Town to Zhudong City", but was kicked out by the opponent's camp for mistaking "Zhudong Town" for "Zhudong Township" on the candidate registration template. Ban Xu admitted that he had made internal mistakes, but his opponents criticized him for being unfamiliar with the place, and his elevated political views became a political joke.

China reportedly requested that Trump and Xi not approve arms sales to Taiwan before the meeting. Glacier: The arms sales case will be postponed until after the meeting.

China has reportedly asked the United States not to approve arms sales to Taiwan before the Trump-Xi meeting, otherwise Xi Jinping may postpone his visit to the United States. In this regard, scholar Glacier pointed out that large-scale arms sales to Taiwan are unlikely to be announced in the next two weeks, but believes that arms sales will resume after the summit. The key lies in the timing rather than whether they will be carried out.
