白金漢宮幕僚表示,若英國政府提出建議,英王查爾斯三世將會考慮訪問中國。此舉若成行將是繼1986年伊麗莎白二世訪華後,英國君主再次訪問中國,但目前兩國關係因多項爭議處於低潮。

1986年伊麗莎白二世是唯一訪問中國的英國君主。近年英中關係因人權、間諜指控及香港局勢等問題陷入緊張。
白金漢宮一名幕僚表示,若英國政府提議英王查爾斯三世訪問中國,國王將「小心考慮」。
這位幕僚是在查爾斯國王週末結束加勒比海多國巡訪和出席英聯邦政府首腦會議(CHOGM)之際,向一群媒體記者表達此說。
有關言論發表前不久,是已故英女王伊麗莎白二世1986年訪華40週年。她是迄今唯一一位曾經訪問中國的英國君主。
英國政府目前並未對此說法置評。國會下議院一個委員會上週發表報告,批評現政府在對華政策上「見步行步」。貝安德就任首相至今尚未闡明其對英中關係的立場。
在剛結束的對加勒比海行程中,查爾斯國王先後訪問了圭亞那和巡訪了巴哈馬、安提瓜和巴布達兩國。三國均為英聯邦成員國,其中巴哈馬與安提瓜和巴布達亦是英聯邦王國,奉查爾斯國王為國家元首。
英國報聯社報導,這位白金漢宮幕僚是在評論國王是次行程時談及中國。這位「高級幕僚」對隨行採訪的記者說:「要是政府說:『國王能去中國嗎?』我想我們會很小心地考慮這事情。」
現年78歲的查爾斯國王目前仍在接受癌症治療。他在今年4月官式訪美,期間如何與美國總統特朗普互動,受到外界讚賞。
受香港局勢、英國批評中國人權紀錄、連串間諜指控,以及中國駐英國大使館新館建設爭議等所影響,倫敦與北京關係近年持續處於低潮。
法新社向唐寧街10號首相府查詢貝安德政府會否請求國王出訪中國,其發言人答覆稱,君主要出訪何處「由白金漢宮定奪」。然而,國王接見訪英外國首腦與否,實際上是「按外交部建議」決定。同理,邀請國王出訪何國,同樣是經由英國外交部操辦。
國王此行在安提瓜和巴布達出席英聯邦政府首腦會議時,在開幕致詞中形容跨大西洋奴隸貿易是「歷史上可恥的一章」,令他感到「極為悲痛」。貝安德首相同步透露,他願意考慮由英國作出正式道歉。
法新社引述這位幕僚說:「我認為,我們正目睹一種非常清晰的模式顯現出來:政府要求國王介入一些政治色彩濃厚、且頗具挑戰性的局面。」英國報聯社引述該名白金漢宮高級幕僚說:「中國是個何其重要的國家,是個很複雜的國家,在制定訪問計劃時得應付諸多複雜因素。」
已故英女王伊麗莎白二世1986年的訪問,是英國在位君主迄今唯一一次官式對華訪問。女王當年10月12日抵達北京,先後會晤中國國家主席李先念、中共中央總書記趙紫陽和中共中央顧問委員會主任鄧小平。行程從北京延伸至上海和廣州,歷時七天。女王結束訪華後,緊接巡訪當時的英屬香港兩天。該次國事訪問是在1984年《中英聯合聲明》簽署10個月後進行,《聲明》敲定了1997年香港主權自英國移交中國。
查爾斯國王從未訪問中國。在1999年時任中國國家主席江澤民訪英,和現任中國國家主席習近平2015年訪英時,當時的王儲威爾士親王查爾斯王子並未出席歡迎國宴。白金漢宮前幕僚馬克·博蘭德曾形容,1999年的一次,查爾斯王子是「蓄意冷落」中方,因其並不認可中共政權。博蘭德解釋,這是因為查爾斯王子是西藏流亡精神領袖達賴喇嘛的忠實支持者,認為對方遭受中共打壓。2015年習近平訪華時,查爾斯王子曾另行會晤對方。

The U.S. Secret Service confirmed that at about 10 a.m. local time on the 9th, a car rushed onto the sidewalk around Lafayette Park near the White House, and another person climbed over the roadblock in the northwest corner of the park.

During the final stage of the year-end election, the Hsinchu County Police removed AI deepfakes and indecent information from websites involved in the case at home and abroad within 24 hours, and continued to investigate bribery and crack down on illegal election intermediaries.

Zhang Yaping, chairperson of the Kuomintang's Discipline Inspection Committee, hinted on Facebook that Zhao Shaokang, who is standing for Zhubei mayor candidate Qiu Chenyuan of the Kuomintang, should "know where to go and what to do." He emphasized that the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has passed the Blue and White Cooperation Agreement, and local differences should be reconciled, and problems in one place should not be turned into national confrontation. Zhao Shaokang asked if the Party Central Committee believed that he made mistakes in promoting the blue-white alliance, please express his position, otherwise he would be willing to quit the party immediately.

Before the Democratic Progressive Party's candidate for Taipei mayor Shen Boyang qualified, the party's candidates included Wang Shijian, Wu Siyao, Zheng Lijun, Xu Guoyong, Zhuo Rongtai, and even Taipei 101 chairman Chia Yongjie. Yan Ruofang, Hong Jianyi and others recalled the inside story of the nomination and analyzed how Shen Boyang won over the middle voters. Jia Yongjie publicly stated in March this year that she had no intention of running for office.

The national security agency handled a case of venting dissatisfaction and maliciously reporting a colleague as a spy to an overseas agency in accordance with the law. Because Liu was jealous of his colleague Li Moumou being selected as an expatriate candidate, he anonymously reported him as a spy. After investigation, it was found to be a false accusation, and Liu was given an administrative warning in accordance with Article 8 of the "Implementation Rules of the Counterespionage Law of the People's Republic of China".

Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang was invited to the million-dollar YouTuber Alisasha's show "Sasha Morning News", which triggered polarizing comments. Staff member Zhou Xuan revealed that it was Alisasha who took the initiative to invite the interview, and that the interview was purely focused on current affairs and Taipei municipal affairs, and was not a deliberate attempt to create a topic. Alyssa also responded that she wanted to know more about the candidates from different political parties and had a great time chatting with Shen Boyang.
