民進黨團幹事長莊瑞雄:洪申翰赴南京APEC會議不需接受中方代辦台胞證

Quick Look

立法院民進黨團幹事長莊瑞雄表示,勞動部長洪申翰將於9月下旬赴南京參加APEC部長會議,雖中方主動協助代辦台胞證,但台灣官員不會因此成為中國心目中的中國人,強調台灣為APEC會員國,憑邀請函即可參加會議,無需接受中方安排。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

台灣自1991年加入APEC以來,歷來憑邀請函參加會議,中國從未主動代辦台胞證。此次中國在南京舉辦APEC部長會議時,主動協助洪申翰辦理台胞證,被台灣視為試圖改變過往慣例、強化一中框架的舉動。

勞動部長洪申翰9月下旬將參加在南京舉行的APEC部長會議。據透露,我方已收到APEC邀請函,但中共會主動幫洪申翰「代持代辦」台胞證,以阿Q方式將其視為中國人。民進黨團幹事長莊瑞雄今受訪時直言,不會因為中國幫他辦一張台胞證,中華民國官員就變成中國心目中的中國人了。

莊瑞雄表示,台灣在1991年入會加入APEC時,當時備忘錄中根本就沒有所謂的「一中原則」,這次是因為APEC在中國舉辦,趁這個機會吃台灣豆腐。

請繼續往下閱讀...

莊指出,洪申翰的鬍子看起來就帥帥的,不會因為中國幫他辦一張台胞證,中華民國官員就變成中國心目中的中國人了。

莊瑞雄指出,中國不管在什麼地方、什麼時間,在國際上都想把路封住,不讓台灣走出去,無情地對台灣打壓,但不要忘記了,台灣是APEC的一個會員國,既然是APEC會員,過去慣例是拿邀請函就可以進去,中國也不好意思去否認APEC的慣例,是拿邀請函就可以直接到主辦的該國參加會議,這次主動要幫洪申翰辦台胞證,中國可以去做,但洪申翰未必要把那張台胞證接過來。

China amends National Defense Mobilization Law to give wider reasons and scope for mobilization

China’s newly revised National Defense Mobilization Law will take effect on October 1, marking the first major revision of the law in 16 years. The new law defines national defense mobilization as activities to respond to threats to national sovereignty, unity, territorial integrity, security and development interests. For the first time, "development interests" are included in the reasons for mobilization, and the scope of mobilization is expanded to include data, network security and other fields. Scholars pointed out that the revised law aims to establish capabilities to support large-scale wars and long-term attrition, and can be used for national mobilization during peacetime competition between China and the United States. The assets of Taiwanese businessmen in the mainland may be expropriated, triggering concerns about legal conflicts between the two sides.
