賴清德不再只打抗中牌!小笠原欣幸解析九合一選戰策略轉變

小笠原欣幸在《東洋經濟》撰文指出,AI相關出口帶動台灣經濟,但賴清德政府面臨年底九合一選舉,正從強調對抗中國威脅轉向民生經濟與財富分配政策。

Quick Look

日本學者小笠原欣幸分析,台灣2026年實質經濟成長率預估達11%,人均GDP將超越日本,但實質薪資成長僅1%至2%,民眾生活感受未必隨之改善。賴清德政府面臨年底九合一選舉,正從強調對抗中國威脅轉向民生經濟、育兒補助及財富分配,試圖讓經濟成長成果轉化為民眾實際感受。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

台灣經濟受惠全球人工智慧熱潮,半導體、伺服器及電子零組件出口強勁。賴清德在2024年總統大選以約40%得票率當選,低於蔡英文2020年連任時的約57%。年底將舉行九合一地方選舉。

台灣經濟受惠全球人工智慧(AI)熱潮,半導體、伺服器及電子零組件出口強勁,日本學者小笠原欣幸分析指出,台灣2026年經濟成長率預估突破10%,人均GDP也將超越日本,但亮眼的經濟數據未必能讓民眾感受到生活改善。面對年底九合一選舉,總統賴清德正逐步調整政治策略,從過去強調對抗中國威脅,轉向以民生經濟、育兒補助及財富分配為核心,試圖讓經濟成長成果轉化為民眾的實際感受。

小笠原欣幸在《東洋經濟》發文表示,台灣政府預估2026年實質經濟成長率達11%,國際貨幣基金(IMF)預估則為10.7%,主要成長動能來自AI相關出口及民間設備投資。小笠原欣幸並引述IMF預測,台灣今年人均GDP將達4萬3950美元,高於日本的3萬5400美元,企業獲利與股市表現也帶動政府稅收增加。不過,這些經濟數據屬於小笠原欣幸引述的預測值,實際結果仍須以官方公布資料為準。

然而,經濟快速成長並不代表所有民眾都能共享成果。小笠原欣幸指出,台灣實質薪資成長幅度約為1%至2%,與整體經濟成長率存在明顯落差,加上物價上漲、房價居高不下,許多年輕人仍面臨沉重生活壓力。尤其AI產業與其他產業的景氣差異,讓不同族群對經濟現況的感受出現落差,民眾對景氣的評價也受到政黨支持傾向影響。

小笠原欣幸分析,賴政府近期逐漸將經濟成長與民生政策連結。繼2025年在野黨推動普發現金1萬元後,賴政府今年8月再提出每人普發1萬元、預計2027年1月實施的構想,希望透過稅收增加,讓民眾分享經濟成長成果;國民黨則提出每人普發2萬元的主張,朝野在現金發放與福利政策上相互競爭,也引發財政紀律及長期財源能否負擔的疑慮。

值得注意的是,小笠原欣幸引述今年8月的民意調查指出,認為台灣經濟現況良好的受訪者比例,首度超越認為不好的比例,為相關調查自2006年6月以來首次出現的現象。文章認為,這項變化可能反映部分民眾開始感受到經濟改善,也讓賴政府在選前獲得新的政治空間。不過,作者同時提醒,經濟成長率與股市數字不一定能直接轉化為政治支持,民眾對薪資、物價及生活品質的實際感受,才是影響選情的重要因素。

針對民進黨選戰策略,小笠原欣幸指出,賴清德在2024年總統大選以約40%得票率當選,低於蔡英文2020年連任時的約57%,部分選票流向民眾黨候選人柯文哲,反映年輕及中間選民對民進黨的支持出現變化。文章分析,民進黨過去強調中國威脅及國家安全的政治論述,雖然仍具有重要性,但若無法同時回應青年就業、居住及家庭生活等問題,恐難重新爭取流失的選民。

小笠原欣幸認為,賴清德已從2025年罷免行動的挫敗中調整策略,年底地方選舉不再單純以「親中、反中」作為主要攻防,而是讓各縣市候選人聚焦地方治理及民生議題。文章也提及,賴清德今年5月提出針對0至18歲兒童每月發放5000元的育兒津貼構想,若從出生領取至18歲,累計可達108萬元;不過,相關制度細節及財源規劃仍有待釐清,能否有效改善少子化問題也存在討論空間。

小笠原欣幸最後指出,台灣未來除了必須因應中國持續施加的壓力,也面臨國防支出增加、人口結構變化及經濟成長可能放緩等挑戰。賴政府需要提出能讓民眾安心生活的長期政策,在野黨也應說明福利擴張背後的財政規劃。年底九合一選舉不僅是地方政治版圖的競爭,更可能成為檢驗台灣朝野能否從短期現金發放,轉向討論長期經濟與社會發展願景的重要指標。

‘This is a disaster’: Midterm election defeat, Republican anger directed at Trump

After the U.S. midterm elections, the Democratic Party won in states such as Texas, Kansas and South Carolina, which are traditional Republican vote-getters, causing the Republican Party to lose control of Congress. Anger within the party has been directed at Trump, with several party members, strategists and White House allies criticizing his unpopular policies, low approval ratings and excessive focus on White House construction projects rather than elections. Trump admitted he was "a little surprised" by the results, but said he would accept the election results. The Republican Party began to examine the reasons for its defeat and turned its attention to the 2028 election.
