川普政府28日面臨來自美國民主黨與共和黨的批評,原因是政府動用納稅人資金,在期中選舉前幾週播出宣傳川普本人的電視廣告。白宮稱這些廣告是「毫不掩飾地愛國」的公共服務公告,並強調美國人應該深愛自己的國家。

根據《法新社》報導,1則廣告於27日晚間的國家美式足球聯盟(NFL)比賽期間播出,畫面以黑白影像呈現川普走過一條走廊,並警告即將面臨一場「最終之戰」(final battle)。廣告畫面上顯示「由美國政府付費」的訊息。

請繼續往下閱讀...

川普在「最終之戰」廣告中說「我們將驅逐共產主義者和法西斯主義者。我們將擺脫那個憎恨我們國家的病態政治階級。我們將擊潰假新聞媒體,並且一勞永逸地將美國從這些惡棍手中解放出來。」

該廣告遭受民主黨與共和黨的批評。共和黨參議員甘迺迪(John Kennedy)27日接受 哥倫比亞廣播公司(CBS)節目《面對全國》(Face the Nation)採訪時說「你(川普)不能用公共資金來宣傳你自己。」

民主黨參議員希肯盧珀(John Hickenlooper)28日在X上指出,與川普相關的廣告違法且不符合美國精神。民主黨眾議員萊文(Mike Levin)也說「這就是宣傳,而你們正在為這筆帳單買單。」

白宮發言人向《法新社》(AFP)表示,最新的廣告具有教育性,美國人應該為自己的國家感到驕傲。該發言人補充,廣告旨在提醒美國人要熱愛國家,並了解究竟是什麼讓美國值得美國人在國內、邊境以及海外加以捍衛。

When meeting with former Japanese Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwaya, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that the prerequisite for the normalization of Japan-China relations is that Japan corrects its leaders' erroneous remarks and actions on the Taiwan issue. The meeting took place against the background of tense relations between Japan and China. Takeshi Iwaya led about 50 Japanese business representatives to visit Beijing to promote economic and trade dialogue. However, the Japanese government set the tone of this action as a private initiative to avoid official intervention.

Lin Deyu slapped Lu Xiuyan in the face: Trump denied selling weapons to China and criticized it for raising national security issues in the polls

Taichung Mayor Lu Hsiu-yen said that Trump would sell weapons to Xi Jinping.

The State Department statement also confirmed that the United States has no plans to sell arms to China, and criticized Lu Hsiao-yen for deliberately hyping up national security issues and neglecting municipal responsibilities due to the decline in opinion polls.

Trump says he has not discussed arms sales to China with Xi Jinping, Pang Dewei's remarks spark controversy

However, Trump denied the matter the next day and speculated that Pang might be referring to Taiwan, which aroused concern within the United States and international public opinion. Taiwan urged to accelerate arms sales to Taiwan, while Beijing has always opposed U.S.-Taiwan arms sales.

Keelung Mayor Xie Guoliang was exposed as being indiscriminate in political payments. Executives of Erxin Cooperative participated in campaigning during working hours, causing controversy

Keelung Mayor Xie Guoliang was exposed to the news that four senior managers of his Erxin Cooperative went to the election committee to accompany him to register for a campaign during working hours on September 1, and were suspected of administrative non-neutrality. Xie Guoliang did not respond when interviewed, but instead accused the DPP mayoral candidate Speaker Tong Ziwei’s father of publicly supporting his son’s mayoral election at the Civil Defense Dinner, which was not neutral. A spokesman for Tong Ziwei's office pointed out that it is only natural for a father to cheer for his son, but it is abnormal for company employees to support the boss's family in elections and should not be confused. There are also reports that when Tse Guoliang ran for election four years ago, there were also two-letter bankers and school teachers to help canvass votes. This collective appearance was questioned as an organized mobilization.
