這篇長文推薦深入淺出,推薦給每一位公民。
" Brandeis大法官在1927年於Whitney v. California案的協同意見,對美國憲法為什麼要保障言論自由、言論自由有什麼價值與功能,提出了相當精闢的論述,也對要如何保障言論自由,提出了「更多言論」(more speech)的理論,對「明顯而立即危險」判準有更進一步的闡明:「如果在言論發表後,實際弊害發生前,仍有時間可以用討論的方式來區辨是非,或以教育的方法來避免弊害的發生,那麼我們應該用『更多的言論』來治療言論可能帶來的弊害,而非強迫沉默。」"
「了解社會脈絡,就是要能了解社會現象,掌握現實。此不獨大法官釋憲時有此需要,一般法院的法官,在審理案件解釋適用法律時也有此需要。為政者與一般大眾行事判斷時,也有此需要。誠如Brandeis大法官所言:”Knowledge is essential to understanding and understanding should precede judging.”,他的意思就是:為了作出好的判斷,必須要先能對事物有一定的了解;而要對事物有一定的了解,則必須要有一定的知識。而活潑自由開放的言論,正是豐富知識內涵,增長知識的不二法門。」
「一個社會愈成熟,就愈能以冷靜理性的方式去處理事情。對於一個危害是否急迫、其嚴重程度如何,也會有比較適切的判斷。一個相對成熟的社會,在遭遇危難衝擊的情形,會比較容易回穩。民眾會從過去的經驗,吸取教訓。會知道如何改進,採取較好的因應方式。在探討危害的急迫性與嚴重性的關係時,不能只專注於政府採取了什麼措施,其實市民社會的成熟理性也是很重要的。」
韓國百萬人規模老人接種AZ疫苗後的好消息:
“Its analysis is based on more than 3.5 million people in South Korea aged 60 and older for two months from Feb. 26 and included 521,133 people who received a first dose of either Pfizer or AstraZeneca shot.
There were 1,237 COVID-19 cases in the data and only 29 were from the vaccinated group, the KDCA said.”
菲律賓終於開始規劃防守但預算還沒下落⋯(猩臉杜就繼續擱置VFA嘛~
「菲中南海紛爭自3月下旬以來升溫。馬尼拉當局指約220艘中國海上民兵船集結牛軛礁(Whitsun Reef),向北京提出至少5次外交抗議,要求立即離開菲國專屬經濟海域。」
「菲國軍方部署至少10艘海軍艦艇在西菲律賓海進行主權巡邏,菲律賓武裝部隊西部軍區還安排4架軍機待命。」
“拉蒙特採訪的LGBTQ群體則提供一種截然不同的伴侶關係模式,他們不想參與在既有的性別不平等約會情境之中,例如一名女性指出:「我們已經明確表明我們並不是普通或傳統的群體,所以我們可以自己撰寫約會劇本,而不需要相信或遵循那些性別刻板印象,例如男人就是比較遲鈍或熱愛運動,而女性就會隱忍性需求或要求對方付錢。」
由於許多LGBTQ的伴侶關係並不建立在已確立的意識形態之上,一般的社會規範經常被檢視、質疑,然後被拒絕,目的是為了創造真正實踐平等的空間。同樣值得注意的是,LGBTQ受訪者在一開始約會就樹立了平等的期望,而不是在約會之後。這種模式改變了他們對親密關係的理解,從而使他們最終擁有更為平等且長遠的伴侶關係。”
負責大概是中國政府最缺乏的品格之一了.
"The rocket’s size, about the height of a 10-story building, and concerns from space-monitoring organizations that the entry back to earth wouldn’t be controlled caused worry in recent days, as various tracking organizations predicted potential landing sites covering swaths of the planet.
While there was a minuscule chance of the debris hitting populated areas, the episode has raised the issue of responsible space behavior, with China ramping up its space program and private corporations globally engaging in space activity."

中國A股半導體業有一成沒政府補貼就要虧損了:
"報導指出,A股120家半導體企業中,除了四圖維新外,其餘119家去年獲得中國政府149.11億元補貼,平均每家公司獲得1.24億元補貼;去年上述120家半導體企業合計淨利達570億元,政府補貼佔合計淨利的26.1%。"
"報導說,有16家A股半導體企業若無中國政府補貼則會出現虧損。"
熱線什麼的肯定不甩你美國的啦, 中國才不想留話柄被束手束腳咧~
" Hotlines between military and civilian leadership was a safety feature of the rivalry between the US and the Soviet Union during the cold war. But as China’s military might has risen in relation to Russia’s, efforts to establish enduring lines of crisis communications between Washington and Beijing have failed.
President Bill Clinton and General Secretary Jiang Zemin, agreed to establish a hotline in 1997, but it was never put to proper use, even when Nato accidentally bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade in 1999. "
“For a host of reasons, the Chinese have been reluctant to engage deeply in these efforts. China has different calculations on the proper conduct of civil military relations,” ... “They fear that by establishing these mechanisms they give credence and legitimacy to American military exercises and operations near their borders and they don’t want to do that.”

" Women as women are largely excluded from, alien to, the self-declared male norms of this society, where human beings are called Man, the only respectable god is male, the only direction is up. So that’s their country; let’s explore our own…."

"我希望妳生活中,不覺得有需要主宰別人,也不覺得需要被主宰。我希望妳永遠不是受害者,但我也希望妳對別人沒有權力施害。而當妳跌倒失敗、很痛苦,縮在暗處的時候,我希望妳記得黑暗就是妳的國度,是妳生活的地方,是沒有人打仗,也沒有人勝利的地方,是未來所在的地方。我們的根就在黑暗中,土地是我們的國度。
為什麼我們祈福的時候往天上看,而不是往四周,往地上看?天上沒有我們的希望。我們的希望不在那個佈滿間諜眼睛、武器的天空,而在我們朝下看的土地。希望不從上方來,而從下面來。希望不在令人眼盲的強光裡,而在孕育生命的黑暗中,希望在那人類長出靈魂的黑暗之中。"
"中國全國人大之前審議批准的一項決議訂定,債務率不超過100%為地方政府債務的整體風險警戒線,即地方債務餘額最高不得超過地方綜合財力水準。
但目前已有9個省分超過100%的臨界值。常年居於債務率前2名的貴州和內蒙古之後,分別是遼寧、寧夏、天津、青海、雲南、吉林和湖南,除天津和湖南外,均位於東北和西部地區。
這9個省分的財政平衡率(一般公共預算收入/一般公共預算支出)普遍低於50%,青海甚至不足20%。
然而,即使暫時未超過警戒線的省分中,大部分財政平衡率不足50%。實際上,中國大陸僅8個省分的財政平衡率超過50%。
2019年,中國財政部曾公布36個省(自治區、直轄市、計劃單列市)的財政困難係數。其中,27個地方的財政困難指數超過50%,其中還包括經濟大省廣東和山東。"
咦咦咦?竟然肯開放啦?這下真的要把握時間去近拍囉~
“基國派教堂創建於1964年,是由牧師動員居民採集、搬運石塊一塊一塊堆砌而成,以「通往天堂之鑰」為概念,設計出獨特的入口風格,加上整個牆面的特殊造型,更加顯得古樸雅致,對於部落族人來說,不僅是熱門的觀光景點,”
法軍終於到達啦:
「日本「長崎放送」(NBC)報導,法國海軍兩棲攻擊艦托納爾號(Tonnerre)與巡防艦蘇爾庫夫號(Surcouf)今天靠泊長崎縣佐世保港。
托納爾號全長約200公尺,最多可搭載18架直升機,是扮演水陸兩棲作戰核心角色的戰艦。這2艘法國軍艦將參加11日起在九州島及周邊海域舉行的美日法3國聯合軍演。」
澎湖這邊也遇到了找漏洞:
“澎湖海巡隊調查指出,3539巡防艇今日上午10時46分在草嶼西南20海里海域,發現1艘「無船名」中國漁船越界進入我國限制水域,立即廣播3次命令中國漁船船配合受檢,該船仍拒絕停船受檢,巡防艇遂採取緊追及強靠登檢該船,並押返馬公留置調查。查獲船長及船員等3人,漁獲約20公斤,船上無牛、豬肉相關製品,人員均無發燒情形。”
美國第五艦隊發表了在北阿拉伯海截獲大批軍火的新聞稿,從照片看,堆在甲板上的數量驚人。
“The cache of weapons included dozens of advanced Russian-made anti-tank guided missiles, thousands of Chinese Type 56 assault rifles, and hundreds of PKM machine guns, sniper rifles and rocket-propelled grenades launchers. “
斯里蘭卡註定要在印中雙強間左右為難.
"In addition to the Chinese loans and economic assistance, what makes China attractive as a partner to Sri Lanka is that these loans and other forms of assistance come with no strings attached. That China raises no conditions such as on human rights practices and war crimes in its dealings with Sri Lanka is comforting to a regime that brought an end to the LTTE guerrilla war in 2009. Second, China’s unconditional support to Sri Lanka in international platforms such as the UNHRC and Beijing’s ability to shield Colombo from the West on human rights, accountability, and reconciliation with minorities work in favor of China.

...好吧, 沒想到日經還能拿快五十年前的米格25叛逃事件說北方空防再延伸到中國擴張的事.
"To prepare for rising military tensions over Taiwan, Japan should first pay attention to the time frame for its own defense. At a hearing of the U.S. Senate Committee on Armed Forces in March, Adm. Philip Davidson, then commander of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, said it would take responding American forces almost three weeks to move from the U.S. west coast to the first island chain.
The first island chain refers to a string of islands that includes Taiwan, Okinawa and the Philippines."
"The stability of East Asia underpinned the business activity that allowed the Japanese economy to thrive in the postwar era. If this foundation were threatened, an economic crisis would follow. The era in which Japan could enjoy stability and safety while leaving the security of East Asia entirely to the U.S. is over."
中國對南海緊咬不放的原因之一: 海床上的稀土資源.
"In response to these threats, China has begun to look offshore for a way to augment its supply of rare earths. The seabed of the South China Sea contains an abundant supply of small lumps of minerals known as polymetallic nodules. China has developed the most advanced deep-sea extraction technology in the world, and its ability to harvest polymetallic nodules and the rare earths within them is unparalleled. With the emerging mining code coming out of the International Seabed Authority, the best way for China to ensure continued access to these seabed minerals and an offshore supply of rare earths would be to treat these waters as sovereign territory."
本來以為美國雞肉漲價可能是因為飼料或牛豬肉品漲價的緣故, 結果主因竟然是因為雞肉三明治產品競爭和雞翅外食打包便利的緣故...囧
國家資本的補貼始終是美國歐盟對中國不照規矩玩貿易公平競爭的最大詬病:
"The U.S. and nations in Europe and elsewhere also subsidize their own industries, often through tax breaks, export financing and research-and-development funding. What makes China different is the outsize role state-controlled companies play in its economy, and its willingness to support their expansion abroad."
"The U.S. and Europe have long relied on the World Trade Organization and tariffs to penalize China for subsidizing exports with grants, tax breaks and credit from state-owned banks, measures that helped the country grow rapidly. But the WTO rules weren’t written to constrain subsidies that a government gives to its manufacturers overseas.
The result: Chinese-owned factories outside of China usually face lower tariffs than those imposed on factories inside the country—or escape them altogether."
