三星電子(Samsung Electronics Co.)在美國德州泰勒(Taylor, Texas)的新晶片廠量產計劃確定延遲，這可能再次打擊美國拜登(Joe Biden)政府提高國內半導體供應計畫。根據《首爾經濟日報》報導，引述三星晶圓事業部總裁崔時榮(Choi Siyoung)在舊金山的演講內容，這個投資170億美元的新廠將延後到2025年，才會開始大規模生產。

U.S. President Joe Biden has signed the Fiscal Year 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (FY2024 NDAA), which includes a comprehensive training program for Taiwan’s military. The program aims to enhance Taiwan’s self-defense capabilities and will be overseen by the U.S. Secretary of Defense. The legislation, which has received approval from both houses of the U.S. Congress, allocates a total of US＄886 billion for this purpose. The training program will focus on layered defense, asymmetric defense strategies, cross-communication between the U.S. and Taiwan’s military, information sharing, and the improvement of professional military education and civilian control over the military. Additionally, the act emphasizes collaboration between the U.S. and Taiwan on military cyber security and requires regular updates on Taiwan arm sales proceedings. It also mandates the Secretary of Defense to submit biannual reports to Congress on the military developments of the People’s Republic of China, particularly in areas such as Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and the South China Sea, covering topics such as weapon upgrades, procurement, and military operations.

MOFA expressed gratitude for the U.S.’s continued fulfillment of its security commitments in accordance with the Taiwan Relations Act and the Six Assurances. The sale includes equipment, training, and technical support, which will enhance Taiwan’s national defense and deterrence capabilities. MOFA reiterated Taiwan’s determination to strengthen its self-defense capabilities, safeguard its territory, and preserve its democratic and free way of life in the face of China’s military expansion and provocation. The foreign ministry also emphasized the deepening security partnerships with the U.S. to uphold a rules-based international order and ensure peace, stability, and prosperity in the Taiwan Strait and the broader Indo-Pacific region.

He quotes President Biden in reaffirming unchanged U.S. policy towards Taiwan. Burns describes U.S.-China relations as ＂hopeful＂ and ＂realistic,＂ highlighting Beijing’s commitment to tackling the fentanyl crisis and the eagerness to restore military communication. He advocates for a realistic and hopeful approach to U.S.-China ties, aiming to mitigate risks rather than decoupling.

美國下屆總統大選雖然尚未公佈正式人選，但社會輿論普遍認為，重演2020年戲碼的機率非常高，兩大黨非常有可能讓拜登（Joe Biden）、川普（Donald Trump）二度對決。《華盛頓時報》引述最新民調數據發現，這一份專門針對7個「搖擺州」（swing states）選民進行的調查，川普在7個行政區，支持率都超出拜登許多，平均領先5.8%，其中以北卡羅萊納（North Carolina）11%差距最大，就連賓州都有2%領先，讓拜登連任之路再次拉響警報。

現任美國總統拜登（Joe Biden）是民主黨假定的下屆人選，但他的年齡、施政表現與領袖魅力，卻不斷遭到挑戰和質疑，民調數據更持續不被看好。甚至在《華爾街日報》（WSJ）最新調查中，倘若拜登與川普再次對決，目前川普以47%支持率微幅領先拜登的43%。在對總統施政表現中，有高達61%比例受訪者認為拜登表現不佳，種種數據讓前總統歐巴馬的政治顧問阿克塞爾羅德（David Axelrod）很憂慮，認為拜登未來連任之路將面臨不少挑戰，情勢相當不樂觀。

美國共和黨人把持的聯邦眾議院今天表決同意基於總統拜登之子韓特．拜登（Hunter Biden）有爭議的外國商業交易案，對拜登展開正式彈劾調查；民主黨人則說這些指控毫無根據。

美國總統拜登（Joe Biden）與以色列總理納坦雅胡（Benjamin Netanyahu）之間的關係多年始終存有分歧，如今又因以巴衝突變得更加錯綜複雜。拜登11日在白宮的1場宴會中更坦言「不同意納坦雅胡的所有意見」，不過也強調「獨立猶太國家是不可動搖的」。

中華人民共和國國家主席習近平12日下午抵達越南河內，不只是在美國總統拜登（Joe Biden）前腳剛走之際，也是他上台執政6年來，第一次出訪越南、這個同屬共產黨治國的盟邦。《路透》報導引述知名人士消息，提到中越兩國將簽數數十則雙邊合作，其中北京將提供協助，幫忙升級越南貫通南北狹長國土的鐵路系統，以及吸引更多陸資企業前往越南投資設廠。

Chinese companies are increasingly establishing supply chains in Vietnam as U.S. companies like Apple move production there, according to Japanese media reports. Export restrictions on advanced semiconductors and semiconductor production equipment to China by the Biden Administration have led to difficulties for Chinese manufacturers, prompting a shift in investment towards alternative manufacturing bases like Vietnam. Approved foreign direct investment in Vietnam increased by 15% from January to November 2023, with Chinese investment, including from Hong Kong and Macao, doubling from the previous year. Chinese investment in Vietnam is even higher when routed through subsidiaries based in Singapore and Thailand. Notable investments include Shandong Haohua Tire Co. Ltd.’s US$500 million investment and Trina Solar Co., Ltd.’s US$420 million decision. BYD Company also announced an expansion investment of US$144 million, bringing its total investment in Vietnam to over US$400 million. Japanese experts believe that Chinese enterprises must engage in joint advancements in cutting-edge technology with local entities to be seen as partners by the Vietnamese.

相比歐洲或亞洲各國，美國本土的鐵路運輸系統，真的落後非常多，至今仍沒有一條真正的高速鐵路，過去數十年來雖多次傳出要興建，但缺因為各種掣肘或變動無疾而終。《哥倫比亞廣播電視台》報導，拜登總統（Joe Biden）9日正式宣佈，將啟動全美鐵路升級大計畫，編列合計82億美元（約新台幣2576億8100萬元）經費，改善現有老舊的鐵路系統，同時在加州打造兩條真正的高速鐵路，改善美國民眾出行的體驗。

美國總統拜登（Joe Biden）之子杭特（Hunter Biden），8日再次遭到特別檢察官魏斯（David Weiss）提起訴訟，這回一口氣提告9項稅務相關罪名，其中三項屬重罪，倘若全部確認有罪，最高可判17年刑期。但對於杭特而言，最難堪的還不只可能被判刑，他所有生活細節將再一次被攤在陽光下，《福斯新聞網》就抓準機會重擊，最新報導中直指杭特生活糜爛，光是花費在脫衣舞、伴遊女郎等成人娛樂上，就高達87萬2172美元（約新台幣2740萬7569元）。

The U.S. House Armed Services Committee has agreed to include provisions in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024 (FY24 NDAA) to assist in the training of Taiwan’s armed forces. The bill, with a budget of ＵＳUS＄876.8 billion, requires the U.S. Department of Defense to develop a comprehensive training and advisory program for Taiwan’s military. The program will only proceed with the consent of the Secretary of State and after consultations with Taiwanese officials. The legislation aims to enhance Taiwan’s multilayered defense capabilities, including asymmetric defense strategies and interoperability with U.S. forces. It also promotes cybersecurity cooperation and the protection of military networks. The NDAA mandates biannual reporting on China’s military developments in Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and the South China Sea. Additionally, a classified report will evaluate the absorption of U.S.-provided military capabilities by Taiwan’s armed forces. After approval by Congress, President Joe Biden is expected to sign the bill into law, strengthening U.S.-Taiwan defense relations.

美國總統拜登（Joe Biden）之子杭特（Hunter Biden），一度因為逃稅和非法持有槍枝，遭到聯邦檢查官起訴，成為共和黨攻擊父親的巨大把柄，本以為今年7月和德拉瓦州檢察官辦公室達成認罪協議後，這個鬧劇就能就此落幕。沒想到根據《有線電視新聞網》（CNN）報導，特別檢察官魏斯（David Weiss）8日再次對杭特提起訴訟，此次一口氣提告9項與稅務相關的罪名，其中三項屬於重罪，包含未申報、未繳納稅金，以及稅務申報表內容不實等，倘若全部確認有罪定讞，杭特最高將面臨17年有期徒刑。此時再次遭到起訴，恐怕會連帶拖累拜登本就不樂觀的民調支持率和選情。

美國總統拜登（Joe Biden）6日向共和黨人喊話，除了同意向烏克蘭提供新的軍事援助外，還警告：俄羅斯戰勝烏克蘭將使莫斯科當局能夠攻擊北約盟國，這樣一來可能將美國捲入、爆發「美俄戰爭」。

The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) responded to allegations from the Kuomintang (KMT) that DPP vice presidential candidate Hsiao Bi-khim was excessively pro-American. Chen Shi-kai, spokesperson for DPP presidential candidate Lai Ching-te’s campaign office, criticized the KMT for its lack of understanding of economic trade issues and Taiwan-U.S. relations. The KMT, led by legislator candidate Hsu Chiao-hsin, accused Hsiao of being subservient to the U.S. during her time in Washington, citing a classified communication log documenting a bilateral meeting discussing the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity proposed by U.S. President Joe Biden. Chen defended Hsiao by highlighting recent milestones in Taiwan-U.S. cooperation, such as the signing of the Taiwan-U.S. 21st Century Trade Initiative and efforts to resolve double taxation issues. Chen criticized the KMT candidate for illegally disclosing classified documents for political gain and called for an explanation of the motives and authenticity of the disclosure. This defense by the DPP spokesperson reflects the tensions leading up to Taiwan’s presidential elections, with U.S.-Taiwan relations remaining a significant political issue. The political drama highlights the intensity of Taiwan’s electioneering, where U.S. ties and Taiwan’s global economic positioning are crucial issues for voters. The impact of these debates on public opinion remains to be seen as Taiwan prepares for the polls.

4年一次的美國總統大選將於明年11月登場，民主黨確定由高齡81歲的美國總統拜登（Joe Biden ）競選連任，共和黨則大機率由官司纏身的前總統川普（Donald Trump）出線；拜登近日在一場募款活動中表示，「若大選的共和黨對手不是川普，不確定是否尋求連任」，理由是不能讓川普獲勝，否則美國民主體制將危在旦夕。

In an interview, Yao Li-ming, the campaign chief for the Democratic Progressive Party’s (DPP) presidential candidate Lai Ching-te, stated that if Lai were to win the presidency, the likelihood of a military attack from mainland China is low and the probability of cross-strait warfare is at its lowest. Yao analyzed that China may employ specific strategies in the last two weeks of the election to make Taiwanese voters perceive choosing Lai as ＂very dangerous,＂ but the DPP has prepared for such scenarios. Yao drew an analogy, stating that if a bully knows that a person will resist to the death, they might not attack at all. Yao also noted that mainland China’s leader Xi Jinping did not mention a timetable for an attack on Taiwan during the recent Xi-Biden meeting, suggesting that Beijing would not rashly initiate conflict. The DPP is willing to interact with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) but cannot accept the preconditions of the ＂One China＂ principle set by Beijing. A re-elected DPP administration would send a clear message to China, emphasizing that any resolution to the Taiwan issue must involve the DPP. Yao also contended that a successive DPP administration would reflect the support of Taiwan’s younger generation and mainstream public opinion, revealing to Beijing the necessity of recognizing the DPP’s status. Regarding mainland China’s interference in the elections, Yao disclosed that the DPP is ready to confront any unusual situations that may arise, but specific suspicions cannot be made public at this time.

新冠疫情剛剛落幕，中國大陸各地近期卻再次傳出肺炎疫情，一種名為黴漿菌的病原引起，部份菌種甚至存在高抗藥性，大幅增加治療難度，也引起不少民眾擔憂，就連太平洋彼岸的美國，也有議員對此疫情波及擴散。《路透》報導，由共和黨參議員盧比奧（Marco Rubio）等5人聯名，向美國總統拜登（Joe Biden）寄發請願信件，呼籲白宮應該仿照川普（Donald Trump）2020年的做法，啟動美國與中國之間的旅行禁令，預先防堵這類肺炎疫情擴散入侵美國本土。

美國總統拜登（Joe Biden）日前剛過81歲生日，自入主白宮以來多次因口誤與失言引發關注，近日他參觀南韓企業在美國設立的工廠時，先是吹噓自己擁有「可炸毀世界的密碼」，接著把連任之路上的最大競爭者川普（Donald Trump）叫成國會議員，同時還把南韓總統尹錫悅記成前總統文在寅，把中國領導人習近平叫成鄧小平，畫面在網上瘋傳。

隨著時序進入冬天，美國白宮（White House）已迫不及待換上新裝，迎接12月到來的耶誕節；美國第一夫人吉兒（Jill Biden）表示，今年以「魔力、奇蹟與歡樂」（Magic, Wonder, and Joy）為主題，設計元素包含糖果屋、演奏中的小騎兵、芭蕾舞者、致敬殉國軍人等，盼未來一個月到來的約10萬名訪客都能重拾赤子之心，徜徉在童話國度中。

擁有以色列、美國雙重國籍的4歲女童阿比蓋爾（Abigail Edan）26日在以哈第三波人質交換中獲釋，是停火協議中首位獲哈瑪斯釋放的美國公民，然而她無法向其他人質一樣與家人團聚，美國總統拜登（Joe Biden）表示，她親眼目睹雙親被武裝份子殘忍殺害，所經歷的一切難以想像，「希望我能在那裡抱著她。」

以色列與哈瑪斯（Hamas）達成停火協議後，台北時間24日晚間啟動首批交換人質，哈瑪斯釋放11名菲律賓與泰國移工，以及13名以色列公民，24人在軍隊接應下平安回到以色列境內，同時以國政府也遵照協議，從監獄內釋放39名婦女和青少年囚犯，他們幾乎都來自約旦河西岸地區（West Bank）。但首批獲釋的人質名單，卻讓美國總統拜登（Joe Biden）失望，因為外傳最有可能獲釋的3歲美國女童並未列名。

Amid growing tensions between the U.S. and China, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen revealed that there is a significant divide between U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping regarding the global status of Taiwan. Despite the U.S. officially recognizing the Chinese Communist Party as the sole government of China, it maintains that Taiwan is an autonomous territory. The deadlock between Biden and Xi on the ＂Taiwan issue＂ could have severe military consequences, as China has deployed warships, drones, and bombers near Taiwan. Concerns are rising that this intimidating activity could lead to a head-on confrontation and spark a full-scale conflict. To address the risks, Biden proposed a $105 billion assistance package, including nearly $2 billion for security measures in Taiwan and the broader Indo-Pacific region.
