Newtalk新聞 中國解放軍南部戰區海軍今天（20日）由新聞發言人尹剛海軍大校具名發出聲明，指控美國海軍獨立級（Independence-class）濱海戰鬥艦「查爾斯頓號（USS Charleston LCS-18）」，凌晨在未經中國政府允許下，衝闖中國南沙群島仙賓礁（Sabina Shoal）附近海域。南部戰區海軍已組織兵力依法依規跟蹤監視。 尹剛強調，中國對南沙群島及其附近海域擁有無可爭辯的主權，美方行動侵犯中國主權權益，威脅海上安全，不利於地區和平穩定，美方應立即停止相關活動。戰區部隊時刻保持高度戒備，捍衛國家主權安全，維護地區和平穩定。來源為南海艦隊微信公眾號等官方渠道。截至發稿，美方尚未對此作出公開回應。 仙賓礁為南沙群島內一處低潮高地，距菲律賓巴拉望島約75海里，處於菲律賓主張的專屬經濟區範圍內。中國、菲律賓、台灣與越南均對該礁及南沙群島提出主權主張。美國經常以「航行自由」為由在南海進行行動，中方則一貫視為對其主權的侵犯。最近一起衝突事件發生在9月18日，中國海警船與菲律賓漁業及水產資源局公務船「沙拉美號」（編號3015，BRP Datu Magat Salamat）在仙賓礁附近發生擦碰。菲方稱中方船隻多次危險切近船尾後碰撞，導致菲船欄桿與甲板受損，無人受傷，並指事發地點距巴拉望約54海里，是迄今距菲本土最近的類似事件。中方則指菲船無視警告、突然加速斜插中方船首，責任完全在菲方。雙方互相指責對方蓄意衝撞。 近年仙賓礁附近主要衝突事件：※ 2026年9月前後：菲律賓軍方監測數據顯示，中國海軍與海警船隻在包括仙賓礁在內的多個爭議海域活動明顯增加（9月約101艘次，較8月56艘次上升）。中國海警持續在仙賓礁、仁愛礁等地進行例行巡航與執法。此外，菲方公務船在仙賓礁附近的補給與漁政活動亦多次引發中方跟監與警告。 ※ 2025年12月12日：中國海警對約20艘菲律賓漁船使用高壓水炮，並由小艇切斷多艘漁船錨鏈。菲方指造成3名漁民受傷、2艘漁船嚴重受損。中方稱菲方船隻打著捕魚旗號非法闖入，已依法採取喊話警告與外逼驅離等必要管控措施。事後雙方就事實認定與責任歸屬持續互批。 ※ 2024年4月至9月（延續影響）：菲律賓海警旗艦「馬格巴努亞」號（BRP Teresa Magbanua MRRV-9701）在仙賓礁潟湖內長期駐留約5個月，期間與中國海警船多次發生近距離對峙與碰撞（包括8月19日、31日撞船事件），菲方最終因補給困難與人員健康問題撤離。該階段成為仙賓礁從次要熱點升級為主要摩擦點的關鍵時期。 這些事件反映中菲在仙賓礁及周邊海域的灰色地帶對抗持續，雙方對主權、管轄權與「合法存在」的解讀存在根本分歧。美國軍艦此次出現，被外界視為在既有中菲摩擦背景下的區域安全態勢延伸。延伸閱讀：史上首次太空「軌道獵殺」？俄衛星「極限逼近」援烏商業雷達眼你演習他偷看！美日「利劍」飛彈部署 解放軍無人機、直升機窺探10小時楊宏基觀點》「防衛台灣」是核心利益還是戰略負債？台灣不該「偏聽」民進黨示警中國介選手法：造假緋聞、假醜聞、動員在地協力者跟監暴力中國第二艘超大型UUV支援艦現身廣州 「小一號」顯示「多線並行」實力

Newtalk新聞 海巡署東南沙分署東沙指揮部今（20）日清晨5時許，於東沙海域東南方偵獲「中國海警3102」未開啟船舶自動識別系統（AIS），以暗船方式航向我國限制水域，立即通報線上勤務艦「台中艦」前推部署應處。上午8時許，「中國海警3102」進入東沙島東北方限制水域內，由「台中艦」併航監控，並多次以中、英文廣播強勢驅離，目前仍於現場持續對峙中。 海巡「台中艦」驅離過程中，海警船竟透過無線電進行統戰廣播，聲稱「你所謂中華民國不存在」，並以「中國台灣台中艦」等用語進行侵擾與叫囂，矮化我國主權；「台中艦」立即強勢以廣播駁斥：「中華民國台灣是主權獨立的國家，與中華人民共和國互不隸屬，這是無法否認的事實與現狀。你們未經許可進入我國水域，已違反國際法規定，影響我國海域秩序及安全，請立即轉向，儘速離開我國水域。」反制中方認知作戰與挑釁行徑。 海巡署表示，今年迄今，海巡署已於東沙水域驅離中國海警船計12次15艘次，海巡署強調，中華民國台灣對東沙環礁及其周邊海域享有無可爭辯的主權，中國日前以海警船、科研船及漁船混合編隊於我國周邊海域發動多點齊發之騷擾，今天更以關閉AIS的方式，刻意隱匿航跡，侵擾我國限制水域，並廣播散布統戰言論，企圖以「假執法、真擴權」塑造管轄權假象，嚴重破壞區域和平穩定，海巡署予以最嚴厲譴責。面對中方持續的灰帶侵擾與複合式威脅，海巡艦艇將全天候嚴密監偵、寸海不讓，堅定捍衛國家主權與海洋權益，確保海域秩序與安全。延伸閱讀：「拿捏賴清德」中國交換生遭逐 梁文傑：同意移民署的做法灰色地帶襲擾升級？中國16船圍台侵擾 海巡強勢反制驅離吳恭銘觀點》披著羊皮的狼 建立中國科研船的戰術阻斷機制「軌跡餘溫」致敬曾有過的平行線 台南古蹟車站鐵道體驗活動即日起展開2026臺灣仲裁週開幕！搭建信任之橋連結政府與民間 迎向爭議解決新紀元

Newtalk新聞 菲律賓與中國的外交摩擦再度升溫，中國駐菲律賓大使井泉日前宣稱，若中國決定對菲律賓動武，將能輕易取勝，引發菲國政界強烈不滿。菲律賓參議員杜爾弗（Erwin Tulfo）19 日表示，正與多名參議員研議提出動議，要求將井泉列為「不受歡迎人物」，更喊話井泉與其等到被正式宣布，不如主動打包走人。 杜爾弗受訪時表示，他與參議院多數黨的議員正準備提出相關提案，最快可能 19 日至 20 日提交。他認為，井泉近期的發言已引發爭議，菲方有必要表達立場。所謂「不受歡迎人物」（persona non grata）是外交與政治場合常見的表態方式，若相關提案獲得支持，將進一步加深中菲雙方的外交對立。 這場風波源於菲律賓國防部長鐵歐多洛（Gilberto Teodoro Jr.）日前批評中國是區域內的「麻煩製造者」。此前，菲律賓副總統杜特蒂（Sara Duterte）曾反指馬尼拉政府才是「東南亞的麻煩製造者」，鐵歐多洛隨後出面反駁，雙方言論交鋒也讓菲國內部政治爭議延伸至中菲關係。 面對菲律賓官員的批評，井泉日前在奎松市出席活動期間接受媒體訪問，談及中國可能採取的軍事行動時表示，中國若要動用武力，「很容易就能獲勝」，但強調「我們不會選擇動用武力，我們熱愛和平。」這番言論在菲律賓引起強烈反彈，外交部隨即採取行動。 菲律賓外交部長拉薩洛（Maria Theresa Lazaro）19 日召見井泉，當面表達菲方對相關言論的嚴重關切與強烈反對，並直指其上週對媒體發表的說法帶有挑釁意味，無法接受。 至於中方可能對批評中國的菲律賓政客採取限制入境等反制措施，杜爾弗則表示並不在意。他指出，「到目前為止，我根本沒有計畫前往中國、香港或澳門他們的領土。」 杜爾弗也強調，國會議員既然是由民眾選出，就有責任針對公共議題發聲，不能因為擔心外界反應而噤聲。他表示，政治人物之所以公開表達意見，正是因為他們享有這項權利。延伸閱讀：防「零元購」洗劫！ 米蘭精品店急暫停營業 義大利擬派五百軍人進駐維安為防強劫、縱火等失控狀況再發生！ 法國巴黎在內等多個城市實施宵禁 俄軍空襲烏克蘭釀10死！澤連斯基控盟友未預警 急會洛克希德馬丁爭取防空飛彈菲律賓外長緊急召見中國大使 主張動武言論「挑釁」且「不可被接受」民進黨示警中國介選手法：造假緋聞、假醜聞、動員在地協力者跟監暴力
