韓國女團IVE在台北小巨蛋演出期間,外牆粉絲應援廣告出現「Welcome to Chinese Taipei」,引發爭議。北捷遊憩公司表示,廣告由代理廠商承接、審核與排播,素材由委刊單位提供,爭議後先行下架重審。國民黨桃園市議員凌濤隨即搬出二○一六年世界衛生大會與APEC的例子,質疑民進黨政府過去可以使用「Chinese Taipei」,如今卻批評小巨蛋廣告,是不是雙重標準。

這個反擊少了一個必要區分。APEC官方資料顯示,「Chinese Taipei」自一九九一年起就是其會員經濟體名稱之一;二○一六年世界衛生大會,時任衛福部長林奏延也以「中華台北」作為與會正式名稱。蔡英文當時說「稱謂上也沒有被矮化」,林全則表示「中華台北」是不滿意、但勉強可以接受的國際參與名稱。這些舊話可以用來檢驗民進黨今天的說法是否前後一致,卻不能把國際組織的會籍或與會名稱,直接變成台灣任何場合都必須接受的稱呼。

請繼續往下閱讀...

小巨蛋外牆則是另一種情境。多家媒體報導這則應援內容由中國粉絲團集資投放;北捷遊憩公司的公開回應只確認素材由委刊單位提供,並未公布委刊者身分。廣告把「Chinese Taipei」放上台灣公有場館外牆,台灣民眾因此提出批評,與政府在國際組織依既有會籍或與會名稱參與,回答的是兩個不同問題。

凌濤的論證若要成立,不能只證明過去曾於世界衛生大會與APEC使用同一名稱,還必須證明國際會籍與國內一般場合具有相同適用條件。台灣在國際現實下曾接受某個會籍或與會名稱,不等於台灣民眾在自己的公共場域看見同樣稱呼時,就只能照單全收。

國民黨桃園市議員凌濤搬出質疑民進黨政府過去可以用「Chinese Taipei」,如今卻批評小巨蛋廣告,是否雙重標準。他的論證若要成立,必須證明國際會籍與國內一般場合具有相同適用條件。(資料照)

更值得凌濤回答的是他自己的標準。二○二一年擔任國民黨文傳會主委時,他公開說「中華民國派才是國際社會最大公約數」;今年談藍營選局時,他仍使用「中華民國派贏」的說法。既然「中華民國派」是他反覆使用的政治定位,那就有一個很直接的反問:如果「Chinese Taipei」與中華民國可以不分場合等量齊觀,他是否也願意把「中華民國派」改稱「中華台北派」?

中華民國的英文國名是Republic of China;APEC使用的會員經濟體名稱則是Chinese Taipei。兩個名稱本就不是同一概念,也不能因為曾在國際參與中同時指涉台灣,就直接視為可以互相替換。

凌濤要拿二○一六年的說法檢驗民進黨今天的標準,可以;同一把尺也應放回他自己的「中華民國派」主張。這場爭議需要分辨的是「Chinese Taipei」在什麼制度條件下使用,以及國際會籍或與會名稱能否直接移植到台灣公共場域。若國際會籍名稱不能取代國名,這場辯護就不能只靠一句「以前也用過」結束。

The Taiwan Inspirational Association released a poll in September: 63.4% of the Legislative Yuan was dissatisfied, with the opposition between the government and the opposition being the main reason. A general distribution of 10,000 yuan was supported by more than 75% of cross-party parties.

The latest poll released by the Taiwan Motivational Association shows that 63.4% of the people are dissatisfied with the performance of the Legislative Yuan. The main reason is that the opposition between the ruling and opposition parties seriously affects the operation of deliberations. Although 57.7% of the people do not support the Kuomintang's reduction of state funds for the Presidential Office, the policy of universal distribution of 10,000 yuan next year has gained a high degree of social consensus, with more than 75% of supporters of the ruling and opposition parties in favor. Defense expenditures exceeding 3% of GDP are also supported by nearly 70% of the people.

Xu Yuzhen, Secretary General of the Kuomintang League, criticized Chen Yongxing, the nominee for the Supervisory Dean: He may get "official cancer" before he becomes an official

Kuomintang League Secretary-General Xu Yuzhen criticized Chen Yongxing, the nominee for the Supervisory Yuan, for asking Congress to exercise the right of consent wisely and rationally before obtaining the consent of the Legislative Yuan. He said that his attitude proved that he did not understand the meaning of the parliamentary consent right, and questioned his commitment to Taiwan independence and transcending party affiliation. He believed that the position of the Supervisory Yuan requires a high degree of neutrality and self-control, and that the Legislative Yuan is not a rubber stamp.

Chen Yizhen invites Huang Weizhe to take congressmen on graduation trip, hoping to expand international routes to Tainan

During the parliamentary question, Tainan City Councilor Chen Yizhen invited Mayor Huang Weizhe to lead "graduates or school councilors" to form a graduation tour group, requesting that they depart from Tainan Airport to visit cities with direct flights, and actively seek destinations such as Seoul and Busan in South Korea and Tokyo and Osaka in Japan to reduce citizens' need to fly to Taoyuan and Kaohsiung. Huang Weizhe said that the proposal was meaningful and said with a smile that MPs would be more free after the election. The Director of Tourism and Tourism stated that the city government will focus on expanding destinations in Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia. Vietjet Air will launch a direct flight from Tainan to Hanoi on October 25. Chen Yizhen also requested to resume the Tainan-Ho Chi Minh City route.

Wei Pingzheng talks about the chilling effect of the election bribery case: even the barbecue lottery was hastily withdrawn, calling for consistent standards to avoid unfair elections

Wei Pingzheng, a candidate for Changhua County Mayor of the Kuomintang, pointed out that the judicial handling of the election bribery case has had a chilling effect on candidates across Taiwan, and some even rushed to take back the raffle prizes from the Mid-Autumn Festival barbecue event. He called on the Ministry of Justice to establish consistent standards as soon as possible to avoid superficial reports or unilateral investigations to maintain electoral fairness. In response to the detention of Changhua Speaker Xie Dianlin and his son, he believed that the detention involved political participation, and the prosecutors should present specific evidence instead of detaining people just because they were worried that the evidence would be destroyed. He also respected his mother Zheng Rufen's decision not to assist in the election.
