卅四歲的加州爾灣華裔房仲張婉瑩涉嫌受中國官員指示,在美國本土跟監台灣總統賴清德之子被捕,法院文件更揭露,張婉瑩還涉嫌為中方追查另一名「公開反共的台灣民選公職人員」的在美地址。美國前副總統彭斯痛批中共嚴重侵犯美國主權,是美國最大戰略威脅。

彭斯六日在社群平台X發文直指:「中國是廿一世紀美國面臨的最大經濟和戰略威脅。」同時分享華爾街日報對此案的評論。評論指出,本案只是中國在美間諜活動與跨國鎮壓的「冰山一角」,中共試圖藉由蒐集賴總統家人情資,作為「勒索或傷害台灣的總統及其政黨」的籌碼。

眾院大咖:中共已是全球威脅

美國聯邦眾議院「美中戰略競爭特別委員會」主席穆勒納爾六日也發表聲明,強烈譴責中共監控及騷擾無辜民眾的行為侵犯美國主權,令人「極其厭惡」。他表示,中共意圖針對台灣總統在美家庭成員採取進一步行動,令人感到「毛骨悚然」,也提醒各界中共動搖台海穩定的野心已是全球威脅,更強調「希望賴總統及家人知道,特委會及美國民眾力挺並支持他們。」

加州中區聯邦地方法院公開的聯邦調查局(FBI)探員霍特宣誓書顯示,張女在二〇二五年一月廿五日訪中期間,與一名中國官員見面,之後透過「微信」向對方詢問「上次提到的那個地址」,對方回覆事情已弄清楚,不必再麻煩她。

霍特指出,這個位於加州爾灣的地址,先前曾與一名「公開反對中共立場的台灣民選公職人員」有關聯,研判中國情報機構可能要求張女蒐集該地址住戶的資訊。該名台灣人士身分尚未獲得確認。

The conflict in Yemen continues to escalate, with dozens of Saudi casualties and Houthi missile facilities destroyed

Yemen's Houthi armed forces said that Saudi Arabia launched 156 air and missile attacks on Yemen in the past 24 hours. The Houthi armed forces used ballistic missiles and drones to attack Saudi Arabia's Riyadh and Abha international airports and military bases. The Saudi General Civil Aviation Authority confirmed that three people were killed and 36 injured in attacks on two airports from the 6th to the 7th. The Saudi-led coalition said it destroyed a Houthi armed ballistic missile launch platform in the Yemeni capital Sanaa. The Pakistani military has carried out multi-field defense cooperation in Saudi Arabia, and Türkiye currently has no intention of setting up a military base in Saudi Arabia. Experts warn that the continued escalation of conflicts may exacerbate regional security crises and spillover risks cannot be ignored.

Maduro and Flores were captured by the US military from their homes in Caracas on January 3 and brought to New York to face drug-trafficking charges, to which they have pleaded not guilty.

More than 250,000 people responded and 6,500 people were arrested. Take a look at the highlights of the French student unrest

High school students across France have been demonstrating for more than two weeks over issues such as dilapidated school buildings, teacher shortages, and overloaded class schedules. Clashes between police and civilians have resulted in more than 6,500 arrests and injuries to 750 police officers and 300 teachers and students. The demonstrations also hit the financial deficit concerns and the difficulties of the minority government. French government bond yields soared to a multi-decade high, trapping both political and economic attacks.

War in Yemen intensifies, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Türkiye launch collective defense

Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey have launched a trilateral mutual defense treaty for the first time, ensuring that Pakistani and Turkish military forces can be deployed into Saudi Arabia to deal with the ongoing offensive by the Yemen Youth Movement (Houthi) rebels. The treaty, signed in August and called the "Mecca Defense Agreement," stipulates that an attack on any one member country is considered an attack on all. Although the Turkish Congress has not ratified the agreement, Pakistan has kept the details of the troop deployment confidential and sent fighter jets and anti-aircraft missiles to Saudi Arabia in April. The Yemeni government claimed to have recaptured the port of Mocha under the cover of air strikes, while a spokesman for the youth movement claimed to launch long-range missile and drone attacks on Riyadh Airport and Rabigh Oil Refinery. Experts analyze that Türkiye’s actual support may be biased toward equipment rather than ground troops.
