無國界記者組織示警:中國施壓削弱泰國新聞自由 恐淪中國附庸

無國界記者組織(RSF)報告指出,中國透過外交施壓、媒體合作及參訪交流,擴大對泰國媒體的影響力。泰國記者擔憂此舉削弱新聞編輯自主,導致媒體自我審查,並提及多起中國使館干預泰媒報導台灣、新疆及香港議題的案例。

Why It Matters

RSF指出泰國新聞自由指數下滑,且泰國媒體經營環境惡化,使其更易受外部影響。

「無國界記者組織」(RSF)指出,中國近年透過外交施壓、媒體合作及邀請泰國記者赴中參訪等方式,擴大對泰國媒體的影響力。部分泰國記者擔憂,北京的影響力可能削弱新聞編輯自主,促使媒體自我審查,甚至恐讓泰國淪為「中國的附庸國」(Chinese vassal state)。

RSF訪問多名泰國新聞工作者發現,中國政府經常透過駐泰國使館向媒體施壓,要求避免刊登北京不認同的內容,包括台灣與新疆議題。例如,泰國公共電視台(Thai PBS)2023年11月播出時任台灣外交部長吳釗燮的專訪,中國駐泰大使館隨後發表聲明,抨擊該台為「台獨分離主義分子」提供平台,傷害中國人民感情。

知情人士透露,中方使館隨後與該台高層會面,最終達成協議,將網路上的完整專訪下架。

2022年,1名泰國記者因報導中國迫害維吾爾族,遭中國使館人員質問,並被警告所屬媒體未來將不獲允許採訪中國大使。2025年8月,曼谷藝術文化中心的展覽因涉及香港、西藏及新疆議題,遭中方施壓撤下相關作品;泰媒「鮮新聞」(Khaosod English)資深記者巴維(Pravit Rojanaphruk)對此發表評論後,中國使館官員竟直接登門造訪報社,警告北京的「一個中國原則」不容質疑。

除了外交施壓,中國也透過媒體合作及新聞交流擴大影響力。中國官媒新華社、中國國際廣播電台(CRI)及中國環球電視網(CGTN),近年大幅增加泰語新聞內容。截至2019年底,至少12個泰語媒體平台與新華社簽署內容合作協議;泰國政府公關部門也與新華社及中國媒體集團維持多項合作協議。

此外,中國政府長期招待泰國媒體赴中參訪,行程主要呈現「片面資訊」,例如強調中國在湄公河的工程,以及中寮鐵路如何協助消除貧窮。今年,泰中記者協會也邀請泰國媒體赴中了解人工智慧(AI)應用及新型內容製作。巴維指出,這類施壓與招待可能促使新聞編輯室自我審查。

RSF指出,泰國新聞產業經營環境惡化,使其更容易受到外部影響。據「自由亞洲電台」(RFA)報導,2024年有超過300家泰國新聞機構裁員,甚至有數名泰國主流電視台記者已轉往中國媒體任職。

RSF發布的2026年世界新聞自由指數顯示,泰國在180個國家及地區中排名第92,較2025年下滑7名;中國則排名第178,並以121名在押記者成為全球最大的記者關押國。

Open Questions

  • 泰國政府是否會採取具體措施保障媒體自主?
  • 未來是否有更多泰媒與中國官媒簽署合作協議?

There are 138 super-aged but general-purpose taxis left in Beijing City. The Public Transport Office: 100 taxis will be subsidized by the Ministry of Transportation this year.

The number of general taxis in Taipei City decreased from 301 in 2019 to 138 in August this year, a decrease of 54.2%.

She called on the city government to review the incentives and establish a long-term transportation capacity guarantee mechanism. The Public Transport Department responded that it has received subsidies from the Ministry of Transportation this year for 100 general-purpose taxis, which will be issued and put into operation on the road in the future.
