第一次知道監察院的英譯, 以及它在外事應對上的作用.
"Migrant fishermen in Taiwan, most of whom come from Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam, work either on distant water fishing vessels that stay at sea for months on end or on coastal boats that regularly come back to shore. Only coastal fishermen are overseen by the labor ministry, as distant water fishermen are not considered to be working in Taiwan and do not receive residence documentation."

幾乎可以確認藍營哪些人是這波攻擊的主力成員了:
"對於新一波對台認知戰,根據國安部門掌握情資,中共啟動時間約在本月十二、十三日前後,那時正是華航群聚感染事件持續延燒之際。執行單位涵蓋解放軍的網絡系統部,以及國安部、國台辦等單位,北京高層並進一步下達「深化內部矛盾」、「遲滯疫情緩和速度」、「降低整體生產動能」、「瓦解經濟與股市」、「挫折台灣人的支持自信」等目標。其中的核心,就是要瓦解我們社區感染的防治動能。
至於操弄手法,我情報部門也歸納,在認知作為上,將利用台灣使用的 line 群組、臉書等社群,由「大陸媒體、可策動台商,協力的政治人物、媒體」來發動。主軸敘事半真半假,並讓具名的人士來談,以增加真實性。"
佔前兩年比特幣挖礦逾六成的中國要禁掉這條洗錢通道了:
"根據公告,中國金融機構、支付機構等會員單位,將不得使用虛擬貨幣為產品和服務定價,不得承保與虛擬貨幣相關的保險業務或將虛擬貨幣納入保險責任範圍,不得直接或間接為客戶提供其他與虛擬貨幣相關的服務,如註冊、交易、清算、結算等。
該公告還呼籲消費者加強風險意識,樹立正確的投資觀念,不參與加密貨幣炒作活動,以防個人財產及權益受損。3家協會也將加強對會員單位的自律監督,若有發現違規,將依法採取通報、暫停會員權利、取消會員資格等處分措施,並向金融管理部門報告,若涉嫌違法犯罪,有關線索將移送公安機關。"
不曉得以色列肯不肯賣鐵穹給澳洲就是了:
"莫蘭警告,如果中國不惜引發全球衝突,並且攻打台灣,澳洲將不可能置身事外。澳洲到時候將只有兩個選擇:投降並成為中國的一個省分;與中國決戰。
莫蘭提醒,對於澳洲是否要和中國開戰的問題,是由不得澳洲選擇的。
莫蘭解釋,隨著近日以色列和巴勒斯坦戰火持續,俄羅斯可能會認為目前是拿下克里米亞的時機,中國也可能會想趁機武力犯台;連帶地,中國有可能會和美國開戰。
莫蘭相信,一旦中國與美國開戰,中國將可能直接向澳洲發射飛彈、發動網路攻擊,以及實施軍事封鎖。
莫蘭認為,處於中國軍事威脅下的澳洲,需要建立類似以色列的「鐵穹」(Iron Dome)飛彈防禦系統。"
美軍在台海的游來游去~
"美國海軍第7艦隊新聞稿指出,勃克級飛彈驅逐艦「魏柏號」(DDG 54)在符合國際法的規範下,於當地時間18日例行通過台灣海峽,表達美國對「自由開放的印太區域」之承諾,未來將持續合法航行。
拜登1月20日宣誓就職以來,4個月內這是第5度美國軍艦航行通過台灣海峽,包括2月兩次,3月、4月和5 月各一次,均為勃克級飛彈驅逐艦。"
香港言論自由日益收縮的氛圍可能扼殺其亞洲藝術拍賣市場的龍頭地位:
"While local officials and museum bosses have yet to address concerns over any specific works, many in the city’s arts community fear that some of Mr. Sigg’s donated art won’t ever see the light of day.
Long reliant on the finance industry, Hong Kong has worked hard to become a global arts hub. It is among the world’s biggest art-auction markets and one of the three cities world-wide to host the Art Basel fair."
"無論在美國或日本尚維持著「一個中國」這個表面上的共識。臺灣、日本和美國雖然與中國持續著緊張狀態,但整體來說,一般認為都將高度緊密地維持與中國的經濟關係。如此一來,「21年體制」將演變為「軍事警戒狀態持續,尚未升高成戰爭,日美臺緊密地維持與中國的經濟關係」。"
"話說重頭的話,要從巴勒斯坦自治政府主席阿巴斯(Mahmoud Abbas)在 4 月份以「不確定以色列是否會阻撓選民在東耶路撒冷進行投票」為由,宣佈暫緩原訂於 5 月 22 日舉行的國會改選算起;這次改選距離巴勒斯坦人前一次的投票已經相隔 15 年之久,不少傳聞認為阿巴斯是因為怕選舉不利才藉故延後,反襯出哈瑪斯或許才能真正代表巴勒斯坦人的形象,因此才會積極得撈過界,主張一定要替東耶路撒冷的巴勒斯坦人討回公道。"

大洋洲諸小國也面臨美中博弈的壓力:
"In an era of Chinese economic pressure and aggressive influence campaigns, the Freely Associated States (as the COFA signatories are known) have significant protections unavailable to their Pacific Islands peers.
Particularly vulnerable are Nauru, Tuvalu, and Kiribati, whose exceptionally small size and geographic isolation make them especially susceptible to outside coercion. With populations of roughly 10,000, 11,000, and 120,000 respectively, the three rank among the world’s smallest nations. "
南早對這批情蒐軍備異動的報導較為詳盡:
[The Tritons will join other US naval spy planes at Misawa airbase in Aomori, near the northern tip of Honshu Island, including the manned P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft, “giving the navy an opportunity to test out the capability over more congested waters and other different environmental factors”, the US Navy statement said. ]
部署點從關島推進至日本說明情蒐需求增加。
"據《南華早報》報導,今年夏天美海軍MQ-4C海神無人偵察機將首次部署於日本三澤空軍基地,這是美軍首次將這款可長時間在高空偵察的無人機部署到日本,美國海軍表示示MQ-4C是一種無武裝空中偵察系統,此舉將加強美日聯合監偵戰力;五角大樓也證實這項部署,表明此舉是針對「周邊國家日益活躍的海上活動」。"
太陽能板業的強迫勞動疑雲已經從多晶矽製造往上蔓延到原料石英的開採了。
[ Xinjiang Hoshine Silicon Industry mines and processes quartz in the north part of Shanshan Stone Industrial Park, located near the city of Turpan in Xinjiang, China, according to new research. Several miles away, the southern section of the park (shown here) holds two facilities that have been identified as detention centers for the “re-education” of Uyghur people by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI), which has researched alleged abuses against minorities in Xinjiang. ]
"據《產經新聞》報導,075型兩棲攻擊艦排水量達4萬噸,約等同於美軍的胡蜂級,可搭載30架直升機、3艘氣墊登陸艇、多輛戰車進行兩棲登陸作戰。"
阿拜政權不急著介入的理由:避免阿拉伯世界重回外交正常化(亞伯拉罕協定)之前的對抗態勢,也不給哈瑪斯背後的伊朗有利可圖。
“One of Iran’s obvious goals in encouraging Hamas’s rocket offensive is to blow up last year’s Abraham Accords between Israel and several Arab states. The accords were the best opening for Jewish-Arab peace in decades, and they created a potential united front against Iran’s designs for regional dominance.
They also removed the intractable Israeli-Palestinian conflict from the center of Middle Eastern politics and as the main obstacle to larger regional cooperation. The Palestinians were forced to consider a new reality that might cause them to rethink their refusal to accept a reasonable two-state solution. But with the Trump Administration that midwifed the Abraham Accords gone, Hamas and Iran see a chance to return to the trend of the Obama years when U.S.-Israel relations frayed and Iran was on the march.
All of this should give the Biden Administration pause in its rush to court Iran and return to the failed 2015 nuclear agreement. That deal didn’t stop Iran’s weapons research, and it merely delayed the day it will be able to deploy a weapon. Meanwhile, it empowered Iran with more money to arm its regional proxies, including Hamas.”

“數據顯示,自上週一(10日)雙方開始交火以來,哈瑪斯對以色列投射了約3000枚火箭彈,這遠遠超過了2019年及2006年的紀錄。
2019年11月,以色列與「巴勒斯坦伊斯蘭聖戰運動」(Palestinian Islamic Jihad,PIJ)發生衝突,PIJ在3天內從加薩走廊發射了570多枚火箭彈。
另外在2006年,以色列當時與鄰國黎巴嫩的真主黨(Hezbollah)交戰,真主黨在19天內陸陸續續以火箭彈向以色列的領土轟擊,總數約4500枚。”
“《美國自由亞洲電台》統計後發現,這份維吾爾人名單中有超過400名未成年人被列入恐怖分子嫌疑人,其中甚至有162人年紀未滿5歲,此外還有一些「恐怖分子」是80歲以上的老者。
《美國自由亞洲電台》引述知情人士的說法稱,中國將維吾爾族幼童納入恐怖主義者名單的做法,就有如當年納粹把猶太兒童趕盡殺絕,而整個反恐行動無疑是個藉口,藉此妖魔化維吾爾族,並從肉體上消滅該族人。”
