米國傳聲筒透露了軍售延遲出貨背後的台米判斷歧異所在:

“一名聽取國安簡報的台灣政府高層官員表示,中共海軍每天都派軍艦「進逼」台灣海峽中線,還派艦出沒於巴士海峽的東、西側,以及「經常出現」於台灣和日本與那國島之間海域。

這名官員表示,「要逼退這些500噸級軍艦,真的需要中型與大型戰艦」。「在這種情況下,很難單純主張我們應以小型機動船艦和飛彈,來取代老舊的大型平台。如果僅是聚焦海岸防衛,那只有在他們真正朝岸上發動攻擊時,才能展開防衛。」

美國憂心中共可能在未來5年內犯台,華府試圖強迫台灣優先購買「不對稱」作戰武器。美國拜登政府今年開始阻止台灣採購大型昂貴的軍事系統,稱這些武器在遏阻共軍犯台時無法展現效率。"

這次DPP選不好,心情很差,但沒有像2018那次一樣。可能因為有吃藥,可能因為有牌卡這個新興趣能轉移注意力,更可能是因為我知道這個共同體沒有退路。

堅持按照自己的步調生活,為不久的將來可能爆發的侵略做好物資與心理上的準備。這是我守護民主的方式。

這次監票的力氣都放在修憲複決票上了。緊盯著選務人員開票,讓原本不當一回事的選務人員不敢像隔壁開里長票的偷懶,老老實實亮票、唱票。

這是我實踐民主的方式。

回收廢棄成為化纖衣服原料, 好詭異喔...這技術可以命名叫天衣了吧?

"遠東新歷時十年開發研究的「廢氣回收」成衣等再生產品,也陸續拿到各大快時尚品牌與運動品牌的訂單,將陸續上架並貢獻營運。

所謂「廢氣回收」,這項技術主要是遠東新與美國生技公司LanzaTech合作,透過蒐集鋼鐵廠排放的廢氣轉換成聚酯原料,再製成回收紗,相當於捕捉空氣中肉眼看不見的碳,轉換成為手上能摸到的成衣,目前已商業化量產出貨給國際品牌。"

衛報則是將這波抗議風潮定位為公民不服從運動:

“The people here aren’t violent, but the police are arresting them for no reason. They tried to grab me but the people all around me grabbed my arms so hard and pulled me back so I could escape.”

"台灣是目前除港澳外,唯一使用繁體字的地區,使用以簡體字型的寫法其實非常奇怪,這對繁體字的文化是非常不尊重的——文字裡面有地方的感情與歷史記憶,它的寫法、造型都是有道理的。GB 18030 強制規範中國國內所有正式發佈(包含少數民族)字體的唯一標準寫法,本身就有爭議。各手機和系統廠商,通常為了降低成本以及考量可在大陸市場銷售等問題,系統字型直接指定以 GB 18030 規範為主,重點是大多數人從未注意到這些小細節,甚至覺得「只要看懂是哪個字就好」,覺得這不是很重要,不假思索地接受由他人規範的文字寫法,意義上便是放棄了自己文化上的主動權。"

自由時報則是從推特找材料:

"前英國廣播公司《BBC》駐香港記者吳若珊週日在推特分享一份由網友整理的學校名單,顯示烏魯木齊慘劇消息曝光的25日開始,截至27日上午的短短3天內,中國已有50多所大學出現學生抗議行動,當中不乏排名頂尖的名校,學生紛紛挺身表達對封控的憤怒、對自由的追求以及對受害者的哀悼。"

美聯社的照片表現很鳥:

"In a possible attempt to placate the public, authorities on Saturday announced they had achieved “societal zero-COVID” and restrictions in Urumqi and Korla would be relaxed. The government said taxi, railway, bus and other public services that had been suspended for weeks would resume. State-owned China Southern Airlines announced it would resume flights from Urumqi to four Chinese cities starting Monday."

台灣的中央社除了有把發生抗議的七個主要城市標記出來外, 也找出了白紙運動的起始點:

"一段流傳甚廣、據稱為昨晚所拍但無法獨立查證的影片顯示,一名女子獨自站在南京中國傳媒大學台階上,手拿一張紙,後來一名身分不明男子走入現場搶走它。

其他圖像顯示,隨後有其他數十人拿著白紙走上大學台階,他們用手機的手電筒照亮夜空。

後來可以見到一名男子斥責抗議人群。在路透社所看到的影片裡他說道:「有一天你們會為你們今天的所作所為付出代價。」

人群中有人喊道:「國家也必須為它所做的事付出代價。」"

CNN則是把烏魯木齊火警影片放開頭, 四通橋掛橫幅影片放結尾, 串聯起中國疫情下的反抗動靜:

"Meanwhile, hopes that Beijing might be signaling a slight softening of its zero-Covid approach – after minor relaxations in some quarantine requirements – are beginning to fade amid an uptick in cases as China heads into its fourth winter of the pandemic..

The government appears to have drastically underestimated growing discontent towards the zero-Covid approach - a policy inextricably linked to Mr Xi, who recently pledged there would be no swerving from the policy."

路透社的報導相對帶點距離:

"During the weekend, protesters in cities including Wuhan and Lanzhou overturned COVID testing facilities, while students gathered on campuses across China in actions that were sparked by anger over an apartment fire late last week in the far western city of Urumqi that killed 10 people."

這次中國白紙革命的外媒報導紀錄串:

"Beijing has been relying largely on domestically developed vaccines with a lower efficacy than mRNA shots. Meanwhile, frequent lockdowns have kept businesses closed and pushed up youth unemployment, with China now facing its worst slowdown in decades.

Wary of the high stakes, China’s top leadership earlier this month unveiled plans to “optimize and adjust” the policy to rescue the economy. However, local officials across the country doubled down on restrictions when cases started to rise recently."

加拿大主動提到中國設立非法警局就不尋常:

這當中如果包含帝國保護費, 以比例來說當真只是零頭:

"現行中期防的5年防衛經費總額約27兆4700億日圓(約新台幣6兆1073億元),日本政府為徹底強化防衛能力,預料將大幅提高編列金額。

日本政府防衛省針對下一期中期防的防衛經費總額提出約48兆日圓的數字,但財務省認為應在約35兆日圓較適當。防衛大臣濱田靖一與財務大臣鈴木俊一,將就金額進行協商。

執政的自民黨內曾任防衛大臣的人士認為,「這個金額不能低於40兆日圓」,這個看法已成黨內主流看法。日本政府考量黨的意見,且對內對外都已表達強化防衛能力決心的情況下,也傾向認為必須編列超過40兆日圓。"
