紐時好像特別關注電磁炮動向:
“We must ensure that anyone contemplating the possibility of an invasion understands that, and that is why Ukraine’s success in defending against aggression is so important also for Taiwan.”

路透社搶先關注電磁炮呼之欲出的2024副手優勢:
[ "If Ambassador Hsiao becomes Vice President, there is no doubt this will be to the benefit of U.S.-Taiwan relations," said Schriver, leads the Project 2049 Institute, a think tank. Schriver added that he takes no position in the Taiwan campaign.]

電磁砲的接替人選出來了：
“總統府晚間發布新聞稿，總統府發言人林聿禪表示，蔡總統已正式任命駐歐盟兼駐比利時代表俞大㵢擔任駐美國代表，另由外交部政務次長李淳擔任駐歐盟兼駐比利時代表。”
電磁炮美琴這段說得太好了 ~ 
"近日蕭美琴在桃園出席造勢活動時也曾提到，3組總統候選人中，只有民進黨的兩位人選曾在台北以外的地方服務過，她強調更了解台灣的建設與發展，「不能只是以台北的角度看台灣」，選對的人、走對的路很重要。"
葛來儀對美琴與DPP的評論也很精準:
[ Hsiao, however argues that Taiwan needs to bolster its defences against the “constant pressures” from China. The DPP hopes she will be able to convince the country’s 19.3 million eligible voters it is the party that can boost Taipei’s standing on the world stage.
“She is very international,” says Bonnie Glaser, the managing director and Taiwan expert at the German Marshall Fund, a thinktank. “That is part of what the DPP wants to portray itself as, as a party that is connected to the world”.]
果然還是要真正台灣人才會真心為台灣拚外交!
"根據紐約時報報導，雖然蕭美琴沒有大使的頭銜，而是台北駐華府經濟文化代表，她工作的地點不是大使館，而是「台北經濟和文化代表處」（TECRO），但蕭美琴是華府最有影響力的外國大使之一，在華府享有可以直通重要人物的內部管道，每天都會與拜登政府的高級官員通話，並與美國國會兩黨領袖保持聯絡，川普時期的白宮國安顧問波頓（John Bolton）曾說「在所有國家駐美代表中，台灣的外交代表是最令人印象深刻的一個。」
美國多年前一直禁止前幾任台灣駐美代表拜訪白宮和國務院，但現在蕭美琴已經是華府國會山莊的常客，會定期拜訪白宮和國務院，華府智庫德國馬歇爾基金會的中國問題專家葛來儀（Bonnie Glaser）也證實「蕭美琴確實得到華府這些人的信任。」"
