在美國華府智庫擔任訪問學人的前民進黨秘書長林右昌,今(5日)透露,這項行程將告一段落。準備要啟程離開美國,「順」著返鄉的洋流,回家和大家一起為縣市長選舉做最後衝刺。

林右昌今在臉書發文表示,11月3日美國舉行期中選舉,選舉結果也已經大致揭曉。而他在美國華府智庫擔任訪問學人的計畫,也即將告一段落。明天,就要啟程離開美國。從太平洋彼岸,「順」著返鄉的洋流,回家了!接下來,就要投身輔選和大家一起為縣市長選舉做最後衝刺。

林右昌透露,這半年的美國生活,讓他有機會暫時放慢腳步,跳脫過去繁忙的行政與政治工作,參與各種政策論壇,拜訪智庫、學者與政府人士,也走訪美國不同城市,結識來自不同領域的朋友,「從地緣政治、台美關係、印太安全、國防產業合作,到AI科技競爭,每一次對話、每一場交流,都讓他對台灣所處的國際環境,以及我們未來應該走的方向,有了更多沉澱與省思。」

林右昌也藉參與了洛杉磯、大華府、馬里蘭州、紐約等地台僑社團活動,跟留學生以及正在美國發展的台灣年輕朋友有許多的互動交流。

林右昌表示,近日自己參與了美台國防工業會議(2026 US-Taiwan Defense Industry Conference),深入了解中國最新的威脅模式、烏克蘭與伊朗戰場的經驗,以及美台安全合作的最新議題。

同時深入美國曾經的「工業心臟」,走訪鐵鏽帶(Rust Belt),親眼見證這些城市從產業衰退到尋求復興的努力;在美國鄉間,看見一望無際的玉米田、大豆田、棉花田與廣袤的牧場,體會到偏遠小鎮居民的率直與純真。

在走訪美國獨立戰爭與南北內戰的歷史戰場的過程中,深刻體認到當年建國者面對強大英軍時所展現的韌性與勇氣,也親身感受南北內戰所留下的血腥、傷痛與歷史教訓。

林右昌強調:「讀萬卷書,不如行萬里路」,這些經歷,讓他像學生時代去做城鄉的田野調查一般,不只是從書本與報告認識美國,而是透過親身貼近土地、歷史現場,接觸不同的人群與城市,有血有肉地去理解這個國家。

林右昌提到,最近沈伯洋捲起「洋流」的浪潮,讓此次大選打出了新意。他說,洋流讓不同海域彼此連結,也帶動整個海洋的流動,可以溫暖緩慢地徐徐而流,亦能掀起澎湃洶湧的波濤巨浪。

最後林右昌感謝「這半年在美國遇見的每一位朋友,感謝所有協助、陪伴與支持我的人,也謝謝在台灣一直惦記、關心我的朋友們!半年充電,滿載而歸。我帶著滿載的收穫與能量,從太平洋彼岸歸來,不只是搭上返鄉的洋流,更要加入台灣這艘大船,和大家一起當船員、一起打拚!」

Weng Xiaoling questioned whether cross-border suppression is limited to the CCP? Crosstalk actor Huang Yihao smiled bitterly as he listened

The Judiciary and Legal Affairs Committee of the Legislative Yuan made a special report on the infringement of cross-border suppression on democracy, the rule of law and people's basic rights. Kuomintang legislator Weng Xiaoling questioned the government's too narrow observation of hostile foreign forces, and said that the DPP government may discredit internal opposition voices as an extension of the CCP's repression, constituting another kind of cognitive warfare and domestic repression. Justice Minister Cheng Ming-chien countered that the relevant cases all involved the involvement of foreign forces, and Taiwan's democracy and freedom need to be protected. Huang Yihao, a victim of cross-border repression, attended the meeting and smiled bitterly at legislator Ong's speech.
