Newtalk新聞 日本首相高市早苗發表「台灣有事即日本有事」相關國會答辯屆滿一週年之際，日中外交幕後一場險些引發外交官驅逐戰的風暴隨之曝光。日本《讀賣新聞》於 11 月 8 日刊出專題報導披露，去年 11 月高市早苗因不滿中國駐大阪總領事薛劍在社群平台上公然發表恐嚇言論，曾下令外務省向中方交涉，若不主動召回薛劍，日方將把其列為「不受歡迎人物」（persona non grata）並驅逐出境。 未料北京當局竟強硬回嗆「你們驅逐 1 人，我們就驅逐 2 人」，日方為避免陷入報復循環並保留對話空間，最終選擇擱置驅逐計畫。 中國駐大阪總領事薛劍針對日本首相高市早苗「台灣有事」的相關言論發布死亡威脅，宣稱將「毫不猶豫」的砍下高市的腦袋，引發日本網友不滿。 圖：取自@xuejianosaka X帳號 這起外交爭端的導火線源於去年 11 月 7 日，高市早苗在眾議院預算委員會接受在野黨質詢時明確指出，若中國對台灣周邊活動的美軍動用武力，「怎麼想都可能構成存立危機事態」，進而成為行使集體自衛權的對象。這項談話打破了日本歷屆內閣自 1972 年日中邦交正常化以來在台灣有事議題上保持的「戰略模糊」，引發北京強烈反彈，痛批日方企圖進行武力介入。 隨後，一向以言行激進著稱的中國駐大阪總領事薛劍，於去年 11 月 8 日在 X 平台轉發高市談話的相關報導，並寫下「那顆骯髒的腦袋只能毫不猶豫地砍掉」等涉及斬首與人身安全的仇恨言論，事後雖迅速刪文，但仍引發日本政壇強烈譁然與執政黨內部要求將其驅逐的聲浪。 …

Newtalk新聞 日本退稅新制複雜的退稅流程，讓不少旅客直呼頭大，因此旅日達人林氏璧日前分享一套方便的「機場10分鐘無腦退稅法」。不過，林氏璧直言，在機場領取現金其實等於「被剝兩層皮」，除了店家原本收取的退稅手續費外，退現金機台還會額外收取一筆約未稅金額1％左右的費用，所以坦言自己會選擇信用卡退稅，並整理出日本9大藥妝店的退稅手續費，提供旅客參考。 日本退稅新制正式上路後，由於各家退稅平台的規定不一，複雜的流程讓不少旅客直呼難以理解。因此，林氏璧日前分享一套免註冊網站、免綁定信用卡的「機場10分鐘無腦退稅法」，旅客只需在商店出示護照辦理退稅，離境時再於機場掃描護照，即可在管制區內的機台直接領取日幣現金。 然而，有網友發現，透過機場領取現金也會被收取手續費，導致原本的退稅金額被扣了10％～20％不等。對此，林氏璧提醒，機場領現的手續費約為未稅金額的1％～1.1％，此外還有尾數處理的問題。由於目前店家都是與退稅公司簽約，並沒有直接對接提供現金退稅服務的公司，因此機場退現所產生的費用，實際上是由提供退現服務的機台公司所收取。 也就是說，旅客在機場退現時看到的手續費，其實等於「被剝兩次皮」。以Cash JAPAN為例，該平台是收取應退稅金額的10％。假設旅客在DRUG ELEVEN消費未稅金額1萬日圓，消費稅為1000日圓，店家會先收取100日圓手續費，剩餘的900日圓再由Cash JAPAN收取10％(即90日圓)。因此，旅客在機場收據上看到的總手續費為190日圓，相當於未稅金額的1.9％、原本稅金的19％；最後拿回的金額則為未稅金額的8.1％，也就是原本稅金的81％。 如果是在免收手續費的店家消費，假設未稅金額同樣為1萬日圓、消費稅為1000日圓，即使店家不收取手續費，Cash JAPAN仍會收取1000日圓的10％(即100日圓)。因此，旅客在機場收據上看到的手續費為100日圓，相當於未稅金額的1％、原本稅金的10％；最後拿回未稅金額的9％，也就是原本稅金的90％。 對此，林氏璧坦言，「有一好，無兩好」，想要提早拿到現金，同時免除退稅款項退回信用卡可能產生的資安風險，就必須付出相對較高的手續費。 另外，林氏璧也整理出日本9大藥妝店的退稅手續費。以下均以未稅金額作為計算基準，一般消費稅為10％，因此若手續費為1.5％，就代表旅客最後可以拿回未稅金額的8.5％： 1. 鶴羽藥妝：J-TaxRefund，0％。 2. 札幌藥妝：J-TaxRefund，0％。 3. SUNDRUG：J-TaxRefund，0％。 4. 大國藥妝：J-TaxRefund，0％。 5. 松本清／Cocokara Fine：J-TaxRefund，0.33％。 6. Drug eleven：J-TaxRefund，1％。 7. Welcia藥妝：JPrefund，1.18％。 8. 國民Kokumin：JPrefund，1.25％。 9. SUGI藥局：Global …

Newtalk新聞 發生在今年3月24日上午，前陸上自衛隊三等陸尉村田晃大（24歲），攜帶刃長約18公分的菜刀，翻越設有有刺鐵絲的圍牆，侵入東京都港區的中國大使館院內，向大使館職員遞交紙條或表示類似「日本的國士將代替神明誅殺你們」（「日本の国士が神々に代わって貴殿らを誅殺するだろう」）的言辭，被控侵入建築物、違反槍刀法及脅迫等罪。今天（10日）在東京地方法院公審中，檢方具體求處1年6個月拘禁刑期。 日媒報導，被告在法庭陳述，長期不滿中國強硬外交方針，想直接面見大使要求收斂對日言論；若見不到大使則考慮自殺。犯行前夜，夢見「神樣」說「日本被中國看不起，你去談判」，因此決定行動。 10月初審時，被告村田承認侵入建築物與違反槍刀法，但辯護律師以「只是『災難預言』，並無實際危害意圖」為由，主張脅迫罪不成立。被告在庭上表示反省，並向大使館方面道歉。陸自已對其作出懲戒免職處分。延伸閱讀：想像空間無限…北韓宣稱試射新型高速魚雷 發文不附圖指控赫格塞斯違憲戰爭涉「八大罪」 美共和黨人提案彈劾楊宏基觀點》都更困境核心：專業算帳之外更需顧及人性抗衡中國霸權 日本外務省宣布提供菲律賓海岸監視雷達中國手中還有黃仁勳更勁爆照片？顏擇雅分析3種可能：曝光的恐只是前菜

Newtalk新聞 面對中國近年在印太水域軍事力量的快速現代化與灰色地帶擴張，美國近年來持續調整在西太平洋的防衛策略，藉由深化與區域盟邦的軍事技術合作來分擔防衛責任。繼美英澳「三方安全夥伴關係」（AUKUS）協助澳洲建造核動力潛艦後，美國在推動南韓引進核潛艦的態度上也愈發明確，同時對日本內部研議引進核潛艦的討論給予正面訊號。然而，相關發展也引來北京當局高度反彈，抨擊美方舉措將引發東亞水下的軍備競賽並衝擊國際核不擴散體系。 根據南韓《首爾經濟日報》11 月 8 日報導，南韓國會國防委員會委員長陳聲準透露，他於 11 月 1 日至 5 日率團前往夏威夷訪問美國太平洋司令部（現印太司令部）時，美國太平洋艦隊司令柯勒（Stephen T. Koehler）上將向韓方表示，南韓取得核動力潛艦「有助於兩國同盟的發展」。陳聲準轉述美方立場指出，只要韓美雙方達成政策共識，美方願就南韓取得核動力潛艦一事展開積極合作；柯勒亦讚許南韓海軍在「環太平洋- 2026 」軍演展現的戰力，並承諾進一步深化雙方造船領域的國防產業合作。 美軍主導「環太平洋」軍演。一般認為主要針對中國。(資料照片) 圖 : 翻攝自單手搓核彈（資料照片） 美方對南韓核潛艦計畫的公開表態早有端倪。美國總統川普（Donald Trump）先前曾在社群平台發文指出，已批准南韓建造核潛艦，並規劃由韓方收購的費城造船廠（Philly Shipyard）承造；美國國防部長海格塞斯（Pete Hegseth）隨後在南韓首爾的記者會上亦證實，川普總統確實已批准該案。南韓近年積極推動自主核動力潛艦方案。 儘管南韓在大型艦體與艦載武器系統具備成熟技術，但關鍵的反應爐與燃料仍高度仰賴美方支持。依據《美韓民用核能合作協定》，南韓若要將鈾濃縮至低於 20 % 的豐度，必須取得美方書面同意。南韓防長安圭伯在 5 月 26 日的未來國防戰略委員會會議中已發表「南韓核動力潛艦開發基本規劃」，確認首艘核潛艦將採用低濃縮鈾作為動力燃料，顯見該專案正加速進行。 …
