新壽否認李四川指曾提北士科140億解約金 台新新光金籲勿隔空放話
Newtalk新聞 AI（人工智慧）晶片龍頭輝達（NVIDIA）欲將台灣總部設在北士科T17、T18基地，但此地已由新光人壽取得地上權。台北市政府盼與新壽合意解約再專案設定地上權給輝達，但和新壽條件談不攏陷入僵局。台北市副市長李四川日前表示，新壽曾提出140億元解約條件，但未正式送公文來。不過，新壽澄清並無此數字，雙方各說各話，陷入羅生門。 台北市議會9日進行施政報告及質詢，民進黨台北市議員陳賢蔚關心輝達進駐北士科進度以及北市府能夠協助哪些事宜。台北市長蔣萬安答詢表示，這段期間市府與輝達及新壽有多次協調、溝通，輝達希望台灣總部設在T17、18基地，但這塊土地已由新壽取得地上權，而依照契約內容，新壽必須興建完畢並取得使用執照才能移轉地上權，或是與市府合意解約。 蔣萬安重申，合意解約需要雙方同意，市府已清楚表達，只要新壽正式且具體提出條件，市府就會依照法律規定及程序送到議會審議。陳賢蔚追問新壽是否已提出條件？李四川回答，新壽有要求50年預期利益約新台幣107億元，加上已繳納的權利金及租金約33億元，共140億元，但並沒有正式送公文來。 根據中央社報導，新壽董事長魏寶生10日受訪時指稱，107億是董事會授權計算未來開發利益，此金額確實向市府團隊和輝達口頭報告過，輝達再依據此金額調整後寫入MOU，金額並非107億，也從未有李四川所說的140億，但因為和輝達有簽保密協定，所以9月底MOU到期前無法對外說明，只能尊重市府說法。 此外，台新新光金控總經理林維俊同日晚間出席2025台北101國慶展演活動時接受媒體訪問指出，台新新光金控對輝達設台灣總部立場是「樂觀其成」，希望有關係的各方都不要在媒體上隔空放話，現在最重要的是民間、北市府能坐下來，齊心齊力將輝達留下來，這對台灣是非常重要事情。 林維俊續指，北市府有圖利顧慮，新光人壽也有背信顧慮，面對這些困難，請中央政府溝通協調，釐清法規、責任問題，攜手一起達成留住輝達的目的；台新新光金控不做負面評論，也沒有負面情緒。林維俊呼籲，希望民間、政府是夥伴關係，應為台灣好，努力排除困難「把輝達留下來」延伸閱讀：新壽突喊話中央助輝達早進駐北士科 李四川：不理解台北市政府留不住輝達？謝金河：對新壽、蔣萬安會造成很大的傷害一場「離婚鬧劇」！輝達只接受T17、T18？財經網美痛批新壽公關失策輝達進駐北市生變？藍綠白開譙 秦慧珠：留不住 蔣萬安、李四川都別選 輝達改落腳松南營區？蔣萬安：應年底前會有初步結果 輝達總部卡關因「新新併」？李四川曝：也許會依合約解約

韓聯社：北韓舉行勞動黨成立80週年夜間閱兵儀式
Newtalk新聞 南韓媒體引述不具名人士的話報導，北韓紀念勞動黨成立80週年的閱兵式，似已於10日夜間在首都平壤展開。這場夜間閱兵是北韓自2023年9月以來，時隔2年多再次舉行。 綜合南韓聯合新聞通訊社（韓聯社）和路透社報導，核武國家北韓往往會在重大紀念日舉行閱兵，近年多選在夜間登場，展示日益精進的彈道飛彈及軍事硬體設備，以彰顯軍力提升。 外界與分析人士關注的是，平壤是否會在本週的閱兵式上展示採用固體燃料、射程可達美國本土的新型洲際彈道飛彈（ICBM）。 昨天的活動中，北韓領導人金正恩在中國、俄羅斯等夥伴國家領導人及官員的陪同下，宣稱北韓的國際地位與日俱增。他稱北韓是「社會主義力量的忠誠成員」，也是對抗西方全球霸權威脅的「獨立堡壘」。 目前閱兵式的細節尚未公布，包括主要出席人員和展示的武器。金正恩是否發表演說、女兒金朱愛（Kim Ju-ae）是否陪同登上主講台，也還有待觀察。 然而，預計出席的外賓預料則包括中國總理李強、俄羅斯聯邦安全會議副主席麥維德夫（Dmitry Medvedev），以及越南共產黨中央委員會總書記蘇林（To Lam）。 美國波士頓學院（Boston College）東亞政治訪問學者武春康（Khang Vu）指出，越南與北韓彼此視為潛力經濟夥伴。儘管國際制裁限制了雙方合作，但蘇林此次帶來龐大代表團訪平壤，顯示河內有意替這段冷戰時期以來的悠久情誼挹注更多實質意義。 武春康說：「俄羅斯日益孤立、中國又引起外界諸多疑慮之際，越南也可成為北韓與西方交流的重要管道。」延伸閱讀：難怪金正恩要大力援俄! 專家：普丁慷慨給 北韓「這4大」層面大幅受益.....飛彈、坦克現身金日成廣場 北韓閱兵展示洲際彈道導彈美政府關門邁入第3週危機升級！ 白宮：已開始大規模解雇聯邦員工國安基金決議繼續護盤 考量川普對等關稅未底定等4大原因暫不退場今飆38度極端高溫 吳德榮:估冷空氣19日起南下 快訊》10/11 高溫特報！熱浪侵襲 嚴防中暑熱傷害
