〔財經頻道/綜合報導〕美國駐瓜地馬拉代辦安德魯斯(Jorgan Andrews)近日公開示警,中國對瓜地馬拉的經濟與政治生活構成威脅,企圖以中國企業取代當地業者,並透過缺乏透明度的科技產品取得市場,甚至可能危及民眾個人資料隱私。他也強調,中國希望促使瓜地馬拉與台灣斷交、轉而承認中國,但此舉恐為瓜地馬拉帶來風險。

《中美洲360》(centroamerica360)報導,安德魯斯受訪表示,中國希望促使瓜地馬拉改變對台灣的外交承認,但這樣的轉變恐為瓜地馬拉帶來風險。他指出,中國不遵守相關規則,企圖取得整個市場,甚至以中國企業取代瓜地馬拉本土企業。

安德魯斯進一步指出,中國也企圖以中國科技取代瓜地馬拉民眾目前使用的技術,但相關技術缺乏透明度,民眾的個人資料也無法獲得充分保障。他表示,自己並非刻意製造恐慌,而是希望瓜地馬拉對相關風險保持警覺。

安德魯斯直言:「中國人確實對瓜地馬拉人民的經濟與政治生活構成威脅。」他也提到,目前瓜地馬拉仍承認台灣,美國則將台灣視為科技先進、實力雄厚的民主夥伴,雙方共享相同價值觀。

談及美國在區域內的戰略布局,安德魯斯表示,美國已調整國家安全戰略在西半球的方向,但並未進一步透露具體細節。他強調,美國視瓜地馬拉為友好且親近的鄰國,瓜地馬拉對美國的經濟安全、人身安全及法律安全都具有關鍵地位,兩國之間也有許多企業往來。

安德魯斯最後強調,瓜地馬拉不應成為中國地緣政治棋局中的「一枚棋子」,但仍有必要正視與中國往來可能帶來的風險。

The U.S. midterm elections are changing! Scholars warn: Taiwanese AI and semiconductor companies may be subject to local restrictions when going to the United States

After the U.S. midterm elections, the federal Congress and many state governments flipped, and 10 states held referendums on the management of public power in AI data centers. Scholars warn that the new governor of Texas has an unfriendly attitude toward the AI ​​industry. Coupled with outdated infrastructure and residents' backlash, Taiwan's AI and semiconductor industries may face strict restrictions from local governments in the United States; the federal level's export control of high-end AI chips to China will only increase, not decrease.

Changes in the U.S. Congress affect Taiwan's arms purchase, delay in US$14 billion arms sales case attracts attention

The U.S. Democratic Party gained control of Congress after the midterm elections, and the delayed US$14 billion arms sales to Taiwan attracted renewed attention. Experts in Singapore analyzed that the Democratic Party may strengthen supervision of the Trump administration and demand a review of arms sales; however, bipartisan support for Taiwan is sustainable, and arms sales decisions are still controlled by the White House and will not be lifted immediately. The co-chairs of the Taiwan Connection between the Senate and the House of Representatives wrote a cross-party letter to Trump, requesting that arms sales be promoted and a formal notification be completed as soon as possible to Congress.
