中国籍游艇已被禁止进入台湾的港口,海事港务局宣布修订后的指南。

修订内容澄清了外国籍游艇申请进入台湾的规则,包括申请要求和许可期限。违者最高可被处新台币30万元罚款,并可能被勒令立即离开。

该局表示,这些变更旨在标准化外国籍游艇申请的审查及获准停留的批准流程。

修订规定了申请所需文件,并列出特别延期的理由及所需证明文件。例如,正在维修或正在办理转移至台湾注册的游艇,可申请延期。

修订后的指南还扩大了不予受理申请的船舶类别。此前限制涵盖中国注册的游艇及直接从中国航行的游艇,现已将中国籍游艇加入名单,使其无法申请进入台湾的许可。

申请人必须提供游艇所有人、船长或经营者的身份证明文件;游艇证书或船舶登记证书;经营者资格证明或适任证书;乘客及船员名单;航行计划;以及其他证明文件。

每年首次发放的特别许可限期六个月。延期申请须在许可到期前至少14天提交,并附上相关港口管理当局批准游艇继续停泊的证明文件。每次延期限期一个月。

该局表示,指南依据《船舶法》第8条,该条规定外国船舶不得在政府指定为国际商业港口之外的港口或沿海区域抛锚,除非获得特别许可。

根据同法第89条第1款,违者可能被海事当局处新台币3万元至30万元罚款。游艇所有人和经营者也可能被勒令立即离开。

The dispute in the South China Sea continues! The Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs rarely reiterates "civilian leadership" and warns its officials not to talk too much on China issues

The Philippine Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a rare tough statement, requiring government officials and military units to maintain a unified tone in their statements against China and avoid undermining the country's diplomatic mediation. The move comes as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit is being hosted in Manila, with U.S. President Trump and Brazilian President Lula expected to attend.

Trump loves to be involved in money scandals! A far-right Internet celebrity received 160,000 yuan for a political post, which may lead to a murky area of ​​​​laws.

The Washington Post reported that American far-right Internet celebrity Loomer was accused of accepting payments from private clients for a long time to publish political posts on social platforms without disclosing the amount, involving more than $60,000. People familiar with the matter include former Trump campaign adviser Brusewitz and three others, two of whom admitted direct payment. Loomer vehemently denied it and described himself as a journalist and public affairs activist.

Xie Jinhe revealed that she kicked out "Another Village". Wang Hongwei posted a late-night post to fight back. Netizens said: the video can speak.

On the 6th, Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan, accompanied by blue committee member Wang Hongwei, went to the Liaoning Night Market to pray for votes. They surrounded the "Ocean Current" store and shouted loudly at the entrance of the store. He was criticized for bullying. Xie Jinhe, chairman of Caixin Media Group, claimed to be an eyewitness on Facebook on the 8th, pointing out that Youyi Cun participated in the removal of Wang Hongwei last year and believed that Wang Hongwei might lead Jiang Wanan to "kick out the club" and that Jiang's team might not be aware of the old grievances. Wang Hongwei issued a counterattack late at night on the 8th, asking Xie Jinhe to "produce evidence" and emphasized that the vote-seeking mode was polite from beginning to end and never said "louder". Netizens left comments criticizing the store for feeling threatened. The video can speak for itself. The purpose of asking for votes is to win people's hearts and not to compete with others who have higher decibels.
