Why It Matters

台日民間友好歷史悠久,但面對中國對台軍事壓力增大,日本部分政治人物開始將台海安全與自身安全掛鉤,並探討透過立法固定雙邊關係。

資深媒體人矢板明夫指出,7名日本跨黨派國會議員昨日來台展開訪問,他表示這些議員分別來自4個不同政黨,但他們都認為台灣海峽的和平與穩定,直接關係到日本的安全,北村晴男參議員更提出要推動「日本版台灣關係法」和「日本版台灣旅行法」。矢板明夫強調,雖然過往台日友好,但隨著中國不斷增大的對台軍事壓力,只有「感情好」已經不夠了,越來越多日本政治人物已經把台海安全直接和日本安全連在一起,台日之間也正一步一步走向「制度上的夥伴」。

矢板明夫在臉書發文指出,日本參議員北村晴男昨率領7名跨黨派國會議員訪問台灣。這個訪問團很有意思。7位議員來自日本保守黨、日本維新會、國民民主黨、參政黨等不同政黨。他們有一個共同點,都認為「台灣海峽的和平與穩定,直接關係到日本的安全。」

請繼續往下閱讀...

矢板明夫表示,北村晴男參議員昨日抵達後說得很清楚:台海和平對日本「攸關存立」,日本能做的事情都應該去做。他還提出一個更值得注意的主張——回到日本以後,要推動「日本版台灣關係法」和「日本版台灣旅行法」。

矢板明夫直言,這才是這次訪問真正重要的地方。過去談台日友好,很多時候談的是感情。台灣有事,日本人關心;日本發生地震,台灣人捐款。這種民間感情非常珍貴,也是世界上少有的。但是,面對中國不斷增大的對台軍事壓力,只有「感情好」已經不夠了。

矢板明夫指出,今年6月,北村晴男與石平、山田吉彥、西田薰等國會議員成立「思考台灣海峽和平與穩定國會議員之會」。今天來台的7位議員橫跨四個政黨。這一點非常重要。

矢板明夫說明,因為支持台灣如果只是某一個政黨的政策,政權一換,政策就可能改變。但如果逐漸形成跨黨派共識,就有可能成為日本長期的國家政策。

矢板明夫強調,當然,「日本版台灣關係法」距離真正立法還有很長的一段路。日本國內會有阻力,中國也一定會強烈反對。但是很多重大的政治變化,一開始都是少數人提出來的。

矢板明夫提到,10年前,日本政壇公開討論「台灣有事就是日本有事」,還非常敏感。今天,越來越多日本政治人物已經把台海安全直接和日本安全連在一起。現在,更進一步開始討論,「能不能用法律把台日關係固定下來?」這是一個非常值得注意的變化。

矢板明夫表示,因此北村晴男等7位日本國會議員踏上台灣,讓人看到的不只是一次友好訪問。印太戰略智庫今日也將在台北圓山大飯店舉辦「台日外交國防論壇」,北村晴男等日本國會議員將與台灣外交、國防界人士直接對話。

矢板明夫在文末直言,台日關係正在從「感情上的朋友」,一步一步走向「制度上的夥伴」。

The deputy director of the CIA said that the United States has carried out more extensive espionage activities against China to deal with dual threats.

Michael Ellis, deputy director of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, said that the United States is conducting broader espionage activities against China and its companies in response to China's status as a dual military and economic threat. He noted that the nature of intelligence collection has changed dramatically, that the threat posed by China has a unique nature of economic competition, and that Chinese companies have become legitimate targets in areas such as artificial intelligence, semiconductors and biotechnology. Ellis's remarks were different from the precedents of previous administrations. The Trump administration issued a warning on the same day that Chinese artificial intelligence companies were stealing U.S. trade secrets on an industrial scale.

Zhuo Wengtai insists on exercising the right of non-countersignature and uses Article 37 of the Constitution as a shield to deal with the majority advantage of the opposition party

Executive President Zhuo Yongtai said at the ceremony that he would serve as the "gatekeeper" of the bill, exercising his right of non-signature to block the controversial bill passed by the Legislative Yuan to prevent the party, government and military from interfering with media independence. The article pointed out that Taiwan implements a dual-heads system, and the Executive Yuan is like the CEO appointed by the President, rather than the Prime Minister who needs the approval of the Legislative Yuan. When the opposition party uses a majority to pass a controversial bill in the Legislative Yuan, the right to review is ineffective, and only one-half of all legislators can overturn it. Zhuo Rongtai only exercised his right not to countersign in 8 of the 209 cases, showing restraint and precision. The ruling party further countered the opposition party's budget card strategy by issuing a general distribution of 10,000 yuan during the Spring Festival and binding the budget to be passed before the end of the year, turning the budget review into a public opinion tsunami issue. The article criticizes the argument of criticizing Toh Wing-tai based on historical Hao Baicun's checks and balances on Lee Teng-hui as a time and space misplacement, and points out that the Blue and White camp uses a low threshold to weaken the constitutional defense line and then accuses the Executive Yuan of overstepping its powers, which is selective blindness. The preciousness of Taiwan's democracy lies in its transparency and citizen participation. This constitutional battle is quenching citizens' ability to think independently.

The abuse of 12345 hotline highlights the boundary issues of public services

Recently, nearly 50,000 appeals to the 12345 hotline due to concert stage arrangements and irrational complaints such as "The moon is too bright affects sleep" have attracted attention. The article points out that the 12345 hotline is a government service hotline with limited public resources and should not be used to solve personal preferences or emotional catharsis issues. It emphasizes that the government should clarify boundaries and the masses need to express their demands rationally to ensure that resources are used for public affairs that really need to be solved.

Taipei City fan page "I am from Taipei" was exposed for buying fake traffic, the budget was expanded to 9 million, and 95% of the likes came from Indonesian fake accounts

The Taipei City Government's official Facebook fan page "I am Taipei" has been liked by a large number of accounts from Indonesia and the Middle East. The Bureau of Public Information and Communication stated that the advertising audience setting was incorrect and mistakenly targeted Southeast Asia. However, the Facebook advertising archive shows that the advertising has never been placed in Indonesia. It was revealed that contractors secretly purchased fake overseas accounts to increase the number of interactions. The community's maintenance budget was expanded from 3 million to nearly 9 million, and up to 95% of individual posts were from fake overseas accounts. City councilor Yan Ruofang questioned the misuse of public funds. Director Wang Qiudong argued in the council that the advertisements can only be seen in the background and were accused of lacking digital common sense. The article points out that this incident proves that Chiang Wanan’s governance has failed beyond recognition. Public funds have become a cash machine for shady public relations, insulting the wisdom of the public and exceeding the bottom line of democratic supervision.
