Newtalk新聞 中國外交部發言人毛寧今 ( 3 ) 日主持例行記者會。針對《法新社》記者提問，中方是否擔心美國期中選舉之後，美國或以色列可能恢復對伊朗的軍事打擊？ 毛寧表示，中國王毅外長已經詳細闡述了中國對中東海灣局勢的立場。中方一貫認為，軍事手段是無助於解決問題的，只會加劇緊張升級局勢，不符合任何一方的利益。 中國希望相關方能夠堅持和平選擇，通過對話談判化解爭端，推動儘早恢復中東和海灣地區的和平安寧。 另外《路透社》記者也提問，阿曼代表團昨天也在北京。他們是否有機會與沙烏地和伊朗的安全官員會晤？中方是否願意為此提供會晤場所？ 對此，毛寧說：「訪問的情況我們都發佈了消息。從中方的角度來說，我們始終願意為促進對話、推動交流發揮作用。」延伸閱讀：不講武德! 川普才說想和談 期中選舉前夕 美軍突襲伊朗格什姆島密謀用「緊急政府」控制政權? 美媒曝納坦雅胡拱火川普攻伊 背後暗藏這算盤選後變身「否決先生」? 為敗選做準備 美媒曝 : 川普將採用「這些絕招」....謝步智觀點》為了「續命」不惜全球動盪? 納坦雅胡拱川普再攻伊 藏這大陰謀陣風M戰機首在印航母攔阻著艦! 外媒潑冷水 : 但 後面還有這些大問題…..李志良觀點》五中全會暗鬥洶湧擺不平! 公報透習被架空玄機 恐丟「這兩大」頭銜

Newtalk新聞 中國利用今年APEC主辦權，在邀請台灣出席領袖峰會的程序上製造差別待遇，藉此矮化台灣。外交部長林佳龍證實，中國已透過電子郵件送交邀請函，卻未依過去部分主辦安排派遣特使親自遞送。身為APEC主辦方，中國理應保障所有會員平等參與，卻藉由邀請程序對台灣施加政治壓力，企圖將「一中原則」帶入多邊合作機制。 中國打壓也無法剝奪台灣會員資格 中國長期在國際社會推動「一中原則」，企圖將台灣內政化，壓縮台灣的國際空間。然而，台灣自1991年加入APEC以來，便以「中華台北」名義享有正式會員權利。中國無論提出任何主權主張，都無法單方面剝奪台灣的會員資格。台灣是國家，參與APEC有其正當性與制度基礎。 中國曾利用APEC主辦權，在邀請程序上刁難台灣。2001年上海會議，中國透過無名傳真通知台灣，並拒絕我方指派的領袖代表，台灣當年選擇缺席。2014年則派遣國台辦副主任來台遞送邀請函。今年第三度主辦，又在邀請程序上引發爭議。中國刻意將對台政治主張帶入APEC邀請程序，已讓國際多邊合作受到兩岸政治爭議干擾。 台灣必須堅持出席捍衛國家利益 說穿了，中國利用外交形式給台灣穿小鞋，目的就是滿足對內宣傳的政治虛榮心。APEC是亞太經濟體共同參與的合作機制，中國取得主辦權，就有責任遵守既有規範，沒有重新解釋其他會員權利的特權。刻意在邀請程序上製造差別待遇，只會損害中國身為主辦方的國際信譽。 面對中國刁難，台灣必須堅持出席，捍衛正式會員應有的權利。2001年缺席領袖會議的經驗說明，放棄參與無法阻止中國打壓，還會失去在國際場合表達立場的機會。政府應依照APEC既有規範爭取平等參與，確保領袖代表正常出席，充分行使會員權利，維護國家利益。 向國際揭露中國的打壓 面對中國的差別待遇，台灣應讓其他APEC會員了解中國利用主辦權打壓台灣的具體情況。外交部可透過既有外交管道，向友我國家提供相關事證，爭取更多會員共同要求中國遵守主辦承諾，防止此類安排成為日後打壓台灣的先例。 APEC採取共識決，台灣作為正式會員，具有參與相關倡議及合作事項決策的權利。林佳龍已表明，面對中國的差別待遇，台灣將在討論中國倡議時表達自身立場。政府應善用這項制度權利，結合其他會員共同維護平等參與原則。中國希望透過主辦APEC展現國際領導地位，就應遵守多邊合作規範，公平對待所有正式會員。 台灣的會員權利無須中國恩准 中國利用APEC主辦權，在外交程序上刻意矮化台灣，企圖將中國對台灣的主權主張強加於國際組織。中國藉由邀請程序製造差別待遇，目的就是建立對台打壓的先例，讓未來主辦國有機會援引相同做法，壓縮台灣的國際參與。這種將政治意志凌駕於國際組織規範之上的行為，也使中國宣稱支持多邊合作、追求國際領導地位的立場受到質疑。台灣必須堅守立場，結合友我國家共同阻止中國破壞APEC既有規範，維護正式會員的平等參與權利。中國只是會議主辦國，台灣的會員權利，無須中國恩准。 作者：洪浦釗（台北市立大學全球戰略與民主韌性研究中心主任）延伸閱讀：洪浦釗觀點》中國憑什麼要求台灣人效忠中國洪浦釗觀點》不要利用美中俄峰會操作疑美論洪浦釗觀點》中國出手潑髒水 讓澄清追不上抹黑中國打壓！APEC峰會不出席是選項？ 民進黨團揭方向中國只發email邀請 卓榮泰：不輕言放棄出席APEC

Newtalk新聞 美國NGO組織「自由之家」（Freedom House）2日發布「中國異見監測」（China Dissent Monitor，CDM）第13期報告，內容指出2026年7月至9月（第三季），中國各地共記錄948起異議與抗議事件，較上一季上升，但較2025年同期減少33%。報告認為，同比下降的原因與審查加強有關，未必反映實際情況。報告分析，抗議事件中以「工人主導」的抗議比例最高，達44%，其次為房主（27%）與農村居民（9%）；廣東省則為本季抗議最多地區，約佔13%，其後依序為河南、陝西、河北與山東。自2022年6月起，CDM累計已記錄16,845起異議事件。 報告特別關注土地徵收與強制搬遷問題，指出自2022年6月以來相關抗議超過1,100起，涉及農村與城市居民要求取消徵地、阻礙拆除或爭取安置補償。這類抗議近年明顯增加，從2023年到2025年約增5倍，並遍及31個地區，顯示地方財政依賴土地出讓收入所引發的持續衝突。同時，工人欠薪問題突出，建築工地佔工人抗議的52.8%，遠高於建築業在非農就業中的比例；工資抗議季節性上升似乎提前出現，第三季勞工抗議佔所有線下事件的45.2%，高於2025年同期的38.2%。 報告指出，「以跳樓相威脅」是工人抗議中較具挑釁性的方式之一，第三季僅佔約2.4%，但分析顯示過去三年在私人建築工地使用此策略的頻率有所上升，可能反映私人開發商與房地產行業持續惡化。國有建築企業也成為重複抗議目標，其中中國建築股份有限公司本季被抗議次數最多。工廠抗議則在浙江、江蘇、廣東、福建等沿海省份較為突出。 「中國異見監測」資料來源包括新聞報導、公民社會組織與中國境內社交媒體，並運用機器學習輔助收集。報告強調，儘管審查力度加大，民眾仍持續透過公開行動表達對土地、工資與安置等議題的不滿。延伸閱讀：陸軍聯兵542旅M109A5自走砲營區起火 士官臉部、四肢二度燒燙傷送醫瞄準台海？！解放軍要055、052D讓出位置 全力趕造071登陸艦楊宏基觀點》南韓防長姜信哲靈魂發問：能信美軍？ 對台灣的啟示是…中使館竟恐嚇美官員！ 參加芝加哥台灣國慶酒會被抗議 印州廳長：續推對台合作美國期中選舉》選後如何遏止川普 民主黨爭論不休

Newtalk新聞 中國海警船侵擾我國海域不斷，2日再度編隊進入金門限制水域，海巡「一對一」監控驅離，不論金、馬海域，中國海警船也不斷在東部、東沙海域作灰色地帶襲擾。對此，海委會主委管碧玲今（3）日受訪提到，中國海警傳襲擾時，海巡都會第一時間廣播區離與監控，她也透露，中國現在利用海警船戒護科研船，事實上都帶有戰場經營、政治目的。 立法院今日召開院會，邀請行政院長報告「115年度中央政府總預算追加預算案」編製經過並備詢。海委會主委管碧玲於會前接受媒體聯訪。 管碧玲指出，無論金門、馬祖，或是東部、東沙海域，中國海警船進來襲擾時，第一時間會啟動廣播驅離跟監控的作為，從來沒有放鬆過。 話鋒一轉，管碧玲認為，無法接受的是，中國在東部海域利用海警船來戒護科研船。她也提到，無論是他們的浮標或科研船，事實上都帶有「戰場經營」或「政治目的」。尤其中國海警船、民兵船共同在戒護海調科研船，甚至民兵船來襲擾我們周邊作業的漁船，都是已經發生過的事情。 「這是我們沒有辦法接受的事」管碧玲表示，國際社會非常重視這件事情，我們非常鄭重地呼籲，希望中國不要擴張它的武力威脅，在印太海域無止盡的襲擾，相信全國人民也沒有辦法接受，中國是這樣子在對待我們。延伸閱讀：國軍半月連折3命！陸軍公布少校家屬信：勿挫傷士氣國軍半月3死遭疑心輔失靈 顧立雄認心輔未接住：深感痛心0055、00850配息雙雙調升！一檔殖利率逾5%、一檔季配首破1元秦慧珠追問松機中央公園規劃 公園處坦言：蔣萬安開完記者會才開始(影)日本退稅新制霧煞煞？前主播實測申辦3步驟 最快幾小時完成退款
