Newtalk新聞 儘管美中關係出現暫時休戰和緊張局勢緩和的跡象，但川普政府的司法機構仍然將中國視為美國間諜活動的最大威脅，並正在加強公開警告和實際打擊力度。 日本《產經新聞》報導，聯邦調查局（FBI）優先偵查中國政府的四類間諜活動：竊取美國工業機密、對政界人士進行影響力行動、賄賂國家機密持有者以及招募科技人才。 FBI在官方網站題為「中國威脅」（China Threat ）的版塊中宣稱，中國政府機構針對美國的間諜活動對美國的經濟繁榮和民主價值構成嚴重威脅，阻止此類活動是其首要任務。 美國聯邦調查局列舉了以下四項中國針對美國進行間諜活動的主要例證： ▽竊取和掠奪美國工業機密及其他智慧財產權。中國意圖透過此舉成為世界頭號超級大國。 ▽對國會議員等施加影響。這將影響美國領導階層的思維，使其朝著有利於中國的方向發展。 ▽透過賄賂和收買能夠接觸國家機密的人員來取得美國政府機密資訊。 ▽招募美國人員。以高薪聘用安全和科技人才。 就上述內容而言，美國聯邦調查局列舉了過去三個月發生的幾起案件，其中包括中國特工從美國醫療器材和人工智慧（AI）公司竊取商業機密、中國對美國基礎設施發動網路攻擊以及竊取俄亥俄州立大學的研究成果。 在俄亥俄州立大學，一項自主研發的先進技術險些被中國特工竊取，但最終在最後一刻被阻止。該大學因未報告接受美國政府研究資助的教職員工與中國存在關聯而被起訴，並向美國政府支付了210萬美元（約新台幣6843萬元）的和解金。 逮捕人數最多的是中國，其次是俄羅斯，然後是伊朗。 今年9月，美國聯邦調查局局長帕特爾在參議院司法委員會的聽證會上也報告了美國近期的間諜犯罪情況，指出中國間諜活動尤其佔逮捕人數的絕大多數。 根據帕特爾的證詞，自川普第二任期開始以來的一年半時間裡，聯邦調查局的反間諜活動（包括打擊外國間諜）已導致130多人被捕。其中，60人與中國有關，29人與俄羅斯有關，17人與伊朗有關。 這次逮捕人數超過130人，比本屆政府上任前一年半增加了52%。其中，與中國相關的逮捕人數增加了88%。 帕特爾列舉了中國、俄羅斯和伊朗針對美國進行間諜活動的實例，包括獲取國防資訊、獲取政府官員和軍方人員（包括前官員）的合作，以及操縱美國政治和輿論。他特別警告說，中國的經濟間諜活動威脅日益加劇。 他還作證說，過去一年左右與中國有關的重大案件包括：①一名美國空軍前飛行員因向中國空軍人員提供機密信息而被捕；②一名谷歌工程師因試圖向中國政府官員洩露人工智能相關的商業機密而接受調查；以及③七名中國研究人員因試圖將危險生物材料走私到美國而被捕。 報導指出，儘管川普政府在與中國的峰會上表現出看似軟化的姿態，但值得注意的是，它在對待中國針對美國的間諜活動問題上，立場依然強硬。延伸閱讀：川普稱美軍已痛擊伊朗 預告「我們可能還會進一步展開行動」重申阻伊擁核去中化＋1！美將中國DeepSeek踢出政府IT網 應用產品一起被禁普丁助理稱中美俄三國元首會談有望登場 核裁軍議題成焦點 川普施政滿意度跌至新低！ 民主黨期中選舉支持度領先共和黨11%馬斯克星鏈「一鍵改變戰爭」權力過大！ 以台F-16戰機為例 克魯曼籲美收控制權

Newtalk新聞 中東局勢再度升溫，綜合外媒報導，伊朗伊斯蘭革命衛隊 20 日聲稱，兩艘油輪在荷姆茲海峽（Strait of Hormuz）觸及伊朗海軍布設的水雷，隨後起火並被迫停航。同一時間，美國戰略石油儲備（SPR）原油存量降至 44 年來最低水平，而以色列總理納坦雅胡（Benjamin Netanyahu）據報已下令軍方及情報部門推動「推翻伊朗政權」。美國國防部長海格塞斯（Pete Hegseth）也在未事先公布行程的情況下前往以色列，並與納坦雅胡會談，引發外界對美以可能再度對伊朗發動大規模軍事行動的關注。 報導指出，伊朗伊斯蘭革命衛隊 20 日表示，兩艘「違規」油輪試圖沿荷姆茲海峽南側一條被伊朗認定為「非法」的航線通行，期間觸及伊朗海軍布設的水雷，導致船隻爆炸起火，最終被迫停止航行。伊朗方面警告，試圖穿越海峽水雷區域屬於「非法」行為，相關船隻及資產可能遭到焚毀，並揚言若美國持續採取其所稱的「惡意行徑」，石油公司將付出更慘痛的代價。 伊朗革命衛隊在荷姆茲海峽佈下水雷。(示意圖) 圖：翻攝自 X @visionergeo 另一方面報導指出，美國能源部 20 日公布的數據顯示，美國戰略石油儲備原油存量已降至 2.827 億桶，創下 44 年來最低紀錄。美國與以色列對伊朗發動軍事打擊前，也就是今年 2 月 28 日，美國戰略石油儲備仍有 4.154 億桶，短短數月內大幅減少。 美國能源部 3 …
