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。 …

Newtalk新聞 美國 AI 晶片巨頭輝達執行長黃仁勳日前承認婚外情，對象據報是一名涉嫌與中國情報機構有關聯的中國籍商界人士，引發美國政界及科技產業關注。輝達董事會已宣布啟動獨立調查，釐清黃仁勳是否遭外國情報機構鎖定，以及事件是否涉及企業機密或國家安全。事件也讓 2011 年震撼韓國外交界的「上海門事件」再度受到關注。 黃仁勳於 8 日向輝達員工發出訊息，坦承自己對妻子不忠，並為此向家人、員工及公司致歉，表示將承擔全部責任。據美媒報導，黃仁勳的婚外情對象為中國籍女性黃樂（Alice Huang），曾在新加坡資料中心企業 Megaspeed International 擔任高層。 美國情報官員據報認為，黃樂可能受到中國情報機構招募，負責接近黃仁勳並蒐集相關資訊，甚至可能試圖影響輝達對中國出口先進人工智慧晶片的立場。 與此同時，近期南韓 SK 集團會長崔泰源的感情生活也引發與中國背景相關的爭議。崔泰源是 SK 海力士母公司 SK 集團的掌舵人，旗下 SK 海力士更是全球高頻寬記憶體（HBM）供應鏈的重要企業。 南韓SK集團會長崔泰源（右）與前總統盧泰愚之女盧素英離婚，情人金希英（左）的中國求學背景引發質疑。 圖：翻攝自 X @Che_SYoung 崔泰源與南韓前總統盧泰愚之女盧素英於 1988 年結婚，育有 3 名子女。不過，崔泰源 …
