台灣聯合國協進會舉辦「Keep Taiwan Free」大遊行 友邦代表到場支持

Why It Matters

台灣長期被排除在聯合國之外,台灣聯合國協進會成立20年來一直推動台灣加入聯合國,近年擴大爭取加入世界衛生組織等國際組織。

今年第81屆聯合國大會已於9月8日在紐約聯合國總部開議。美東僑界與社團於紐約時間9月12日舉辦「Keep Taiwan Free」大遊行,台灣聯合國協進會(TAIUNA)理事長史書華率團出席,友邦駐聯合國代表也特別到遊行終點,呼籲國際社會不該將台灣排除在外,聯大推案立委視導團成員則僅有民進黨立委王義川響應遊行,國民黨立委葉元之、民眾黨立委蔡春綢缺席。

協進會指出,「Keep Taiwan Free」大遊行隊伍由紐約中國總領事館對面出發,經過42街,轉入第五大道,抵達終點紐約公共圖書館,沿途喊著「keep Taiwan free」、「UN for Taiwan」、「Taiwan is a country」等口號,傳達台灣參與國際社會的強烈意願。許多紐約市民及來自各國的觀光客都熱情對著遊行隊伍揮手,比讚表達支持,也有來自美國與日本的民眾主動加入遊行行列。數次在聯合國大會中為台灣發聲的友邦馬紹爾群島駐聯合國代表席克(John M. Silk)也特別到遊行終點,發言呼籲國際社會不該將台灣排除在外。

請繼續往下閱讀...

除了台灣聯合國協進會外,民進黨立委王義川、國民黨立委葉元之、民眾黨立委蔡春綢也組成立委視導團赴紐約。但協進會指出,僅有王義川到場全程參與遊行表達支持以外,葉元之與蔡春綢並未到場。史書華表示,他去年曾為罷免葉元之領銜人,原本期待在現場與葉元之相遇,展現兩人雖然政治立場不同,但為了支持台灣的國際參與,可以一起在國外發聲,對於葉元之的缺席,他感到相當失望。

史書華致詞指出,台灣不但是全球晶片的重要產地,也將成為全球第20大的經濟體,卻不能加入聯合國,是件很可笑的事。台灣聯合國協進會20年前成立時是以推動台灣加入聯合國為目標,今年,協進會已修改章程,現在不僅要推動台灣加入聯合國,也要推動台灣加入世界衛生組織(WHO)等所有可以加入的國際組織。

史書華說,台灣內部對於自己的國家要叫什麼名字或許還有爭議,但在國外,只要人家問我們是哪裡來的,我們都會說「TAIWAN」,因為「咱攏是台灣人!」

South Korea expands the scope of espionage crimes to all foreign countries, with a maximum prison term of 30 years

On the 13th, South Korea officially expanded the scope of application of the crime of espionage in the criminal code. In the past, the provisions that only targeted hostile countries such as North Korea have now been extended to all foreign countries. Anyone involved in stealing, collecting and providing state secrets for foreign countries may face espionage prosecutions, and can be sentenced to up to 30 years in prison. This move is aimed at dealing with the risk of leakage of key technologies such as semiconductors, especially China, which is regarded as the main source of threats. In 2025, South Korea discovered 33 technology leakage cases, more than half of which involved China, with the semiconductor industry being the most targeted. At the same time, a domestic petition to cancel visa-free entry for Chinese citizens exceeded 50,000 signatures, but this petition has no direct causal relationship with the amendment to the espionage crime law.

Political worker Zhou Xuan analyzed: The blue camp chicks lacked confidence in the hen Jiang Wanan and turned to attack each other.

DPP Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang's outdoor event attracted a large number of supporters and formed an "ocean current", but KMT city councilors questioned that most of the participants were working-study students from out of town. Political worker Zhou Xuan believes that the Blue Camp Chicken's use of words such as "cockroaches and mice" to attack DPP supporters actually reflects their lack of confidence in Jiang Wanan, the hen, and they can only compete for votes internally. He predicts that there will be more passionate performances.

Candidates for Taitung County Mayor clash over music policy, Chen Ying promotes original music base, Wu Xiuhua questions financial resources and feasibility

Taitung "East!" "Take Me Away" concerts were held for two consecutive nights. Chen Ying and Wu Xiuhua, candidates for county mayor from the blue and green parties, expressed their political opinions on music policy. Chen Ying advocated that the county government should take the lead in building an original music base, referring to the popular music center models of Taipei and Kaohsiung, which would be built in cooperation between the central and local governments and operated by an administrative legal person. Wu Xiuhua affirmed the direction but questioned the funding sources, base location, operating costs and administrative legal person planning, emphasizing that Taitung needs to find its own path instead of copying the Taipei or Kaohsiung model.
