The Central Election Commission (CEC) has announced that all presidential and vice presidential candidates in Taiwan’s upcoming elections have submitted consent forms for nationality verification to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. One candidate, Cynthia Wu of the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP), has come under scrutiny for allegedly retaining her U.S. citizenship. Lawmakers from the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and the Kuomintang (KMT) have called on Wu to provide proof of her nationality status. The CEC aims to finalize the list of candidates by December 5 and announce the official roster on December 15. The DPP has nominated Lai Ching-te and Hsiao Bi-khim, while the TPP has put forward Ko Wen-je and Cynthia Wu. The KMT has endorsed Hou Yu-ih and Jaw Shaw-kong. The focus now shifts to transparency and eligibility, with citizenship concerns becoming a central issue in the political discourse. The CEC’s timeline allows for any issues to be resolved before the formal candidate list is published, ensuring a fair and democratic election process.

台灣一年詐騙財損近1%GDP，稱霸已開發國家，而隨著詐騙日益猖狂，詐騙集團更吸收白領，買門號、人頭戶到洗錢全面升級。今(29)日《FOCUS世界新聞》邀請到天下雜誌資深撰述代表盧沛樺，接受主持人譚伊倫線上訪問說明，「詐騙充斥在日常生活當中，其實台灣打詐已經非常多年，光165打詐專線就存在台灣20年，只是現在『投資詐騙』很嚴重，尤其投資詐騙的特色是金額龐大，詐騙集團可以騙到的財損金額很高，而這背後還有很關鍵的原因就是，詐騙集團需要『攜手白領』，當中最明顯的就是銀行員，像今年檢方今年搜索共兩家銀行六家分行，就起訴3名銀行員。」

中國大陸正流行包括黴漿菌、流感、腺病毒等共7種病原體，病患絕大多數是兒童，而各地醫院爆滿的情況，也引發世界衛生組織關注。TVBS北京特派林閔榛今(29日)於《FOCUS國際話題》中，接受主持人彭惠筠線上訪問說明，「北京日報旗下的長安街知事日前以『兒科醫生荒到底如何破？』為題發表文章，指出大陸近期流感、黴漿菌肺炎、腺病毒等多種呼吸道疾病同時爆發，各地兒科出現高峰，其中北京兒童醫院內科日均接診人數破7000人，遠超過承載能力，文章內還討論到醫生荒的關鍵問題，直指大陸大專院校科系曾於1978到1998年間進行大規模調整，兒科系從醫學院被剔除，退化成臨床醫學中的課程之一，直到2016年才重新恢復，客觀上導致兒科對人才的吸引力不足，被認為是大陸缺少兒科醫師的主要原因之一。」

第28屆聯合國氣候變遷大會(COP28)30日將在阿聯酋杜拜舉行，但白宮公佈的日程顯示，美國總統拜登不會出席這次會議，將由美國總統氣候變化問題特使凱瑞率團前往。哈佛甘迺迪學院學者、TVBS國際新聞評論員余文琦今(28日)於《FOCUS國際話題》中，接受主持人彭惠筠線上訪問表示，「今年有中東戰爭、烏克蘭的預算等問題需要拜登處理，且通常如果美國總統要出席這類的國際會議，就表示大會有非常重要或新的大項目要宣佈，不過，今年因為兩個戰爭情勢忙得焦頭爛額，所以不太可能會有非常重要或新的大項目要宣佈，此外，大陸國家主席習近平也不會出席。」

阿里巴巴旗下淘寶網24日公佈，今年「雙12」活動取消不再舉辦，讓大批民眾錯愕不已。TVBS北京特派林閔榛今(28日)於《FOCUS世界新聞》中，接受主持人譚伊倫線上訪問說明，「阿里巴巴旗下淘寶網公佈，不再舉辦大型活動，只有『淘寶年終好價節』，讓相關討論登上微博熱搜，對此，有市場專家評論，近年的雙12熱度急速降低，『改名字』是一種比較體面的退場方式，而有民眾認為，雙12可能從此消失，甚至明年是否有雙11活動還是個未知數，不過對於外界說法，前阿里巴巴都還沒有做出任何回應。」

以巴休戰期限即將到期，在卡達、埃及等國家斡旋之下，以色列和哈瑪斯同意再延長休戰協議2天，有望再釋放至少20名人質，以及60名巴勒斯坦囚犯。德州州立大學副教授翁履中今(28日)於《FOCUS世界新聞》中，接受主持人錢麗如線上訪問表示，「哈瑪斯跟以色列雙方都需要延長休戰期限，對於哈瑪斯跟以色列而言，這場戰爭如果想繼續打下去，都需要更多的籌碼，包括軍事上的準備和外交上的籌碼，對哈瑪斯而言，現在手上擁有的人質越來越少，故手上的籌碼也越來越少，哈瑪斯接下來是否能夠把休戰期限延長，就要看哈瑪斯是不是能夠利用這段時間，趕快地找到跟以色列談判的關鍵。」

引爆全球生成式人工智慧(AI)風潮的OpenAI，近期公司內部的宮鬥事件鬧得沸沸揚揚，Open AI執行長奧特曼遭無預警開除後，不到一週就出現戲劇性的變化，在大股東微軟施壓及員工力挺下，奧特曼又回鍋擔任OpenAI執行長並將重組董事會。金庫資本管理合夥人丁學文今(27日)於《FOCUS世界新聞》中，接受主持人譚伊倫線上訪問說明，「人工智慧從2022年11月以後成為全世界最夯的產業題材，包括在台灣，AI也成為街頭巷尾最夯的話題，而各界對人工智慧未來的風險或對於商業運作上有怎麼樣的題材能夠實現，存在很大的疑慮，所以各國開始摩拳擦掌針對監管提出各種不同的看法，而在奧特曼事件後，華爾街很多的主流媒體都再次呼籲，好像資本市場重新回到OpenAI，這件事情倒是提醒大眾，透過新創或創業者去監管人工智慧往正確的方向發展，可能不適合，透過單純的公司或民營機構想要做好人工智慧的監管，基本上是緣木求魚，最後還是要透過政府出台的監管措施，才能夠確保人工智慧在正確的軌道上持續發展。」

新上任的阿根廷總統米雷伊曾嚴厲指控中國大陸介入阿根廷大選，並拒絕與中國大陸合作，但近日態度軟化，大陸國家主席習近平也特地致電表示，期盼延續兩國友好。TVBS北京特派林閔榛今(27日)於《FOCUS國際話題》中，接受主持人吳姝叡線上訪問說明，「米雷伊8月接受彭博採訪時提到『大陸不自由、大陸是刺客，你願意和刺客交易嗎？』這番話被外界解讀是拒絕和大陸合作，不過就在米雷伊當選第二天，習近平就致電給米雷伊，之後米雷伊在網路發文寫到，感謝大陸領導人賀電，向他致以最誠摯的祝福，祝福大陸全民幸福安康，並轉發了一條訊息，內容是幾分鐘之內和大陸的尷尬得到了解決，阿根廷正在被全世界給擁抱。」

民眾黨總統參選人柯文哲最終選擇「新光公主」立委吳欣盈當副手，吳欣盈今（27）日在登記後首赴立法院，被問到柯文哲昨（26）日脫口「台北男人去八大是為了business不是為了娛樂」，吳欣盈則回應主席常常會失言，「所以不用再挖這種洞給我跳，我想我是focus on（專注）政見，這種事就問他老婆，或是問他旁邊的就好」。

Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) vice-presidential candidate Hsiao Bi-khim expresses confidence in the trust the U.S. places in President Tsai Ing-wen and assures that her running mate, presidential candidate Lai Ching-te, will continue Tsai’s diplomatic policies if elected. Hsiao addresses concerns about the perception of the ＂Lai-Hsiao ticket＂ as strongly pro-Taiwan independence, emphasizing the focus should be on actions rather than political labels. She believes Taiwan’s consensus is to maintain the status quo and desires sustainable and healthy exchanges with China. Hsiao describes herself as a ＂cat warrior＂ and emphasizes the need for diplomacy to strike a balance that maximizes Taiwan’s international support and participation. She expresses a desire to speak with Chinese President Xi Jinping face-to-face, urging him to empathize with the aspirations of the Taiwanese people. Hsiao also mentions her intention to recommend Taiwan’s delicious agricultural products, such as Taiwanese mangoes, to Xi. This interview reaffirms the DPP’s commitment to Taiwan’s autonomy and the desire for friendly and reciprocal relations with neighboring countries, including China, based on compassion and mutual respect.

He highlights the complementary strengths of his partnership with KMT presidential candidate Hou Yu-ih, with a focus on different regions.

If elected, he plans to reinstate the Special Investigation Division to probe potential corruption issues related to the procurement of masks, vaccines, eggs, and submarines.

Okinawa Governor Denny Tamaki made a low-profile visit to Taiwan from November 23 to 25, where he met with key figures including Su Jia-chyuan, the president of the Taiwan-Japan Relations Association (TJRA), and Paul Hsu, the Chairman of the General Chamber of Commerce of the Republic of China (ROCCOC). The focus of Tamaki’s trip was on meetings with economic and tourism-related groups from Okinawa, with no official engagements with Taiwanese government entities. During his visit, Tamaki expressed gratitude to Su for discussions aimed at fostering tourism and economic exchanges between Taiwan and Okinawa. The primary objective of Tamaki’s visit was to explore business cooperation, engaging with Japanese business representatives and Okinawan officials in discussions. Both parties anticipate swift progress toward further collaboration, and an invitation was extended for Tamaki to revisit Taiwan and for a Taiwanese group to enjoy Wagyu beef in Okinawa. The exchange concluded with the mutual presentation of local specialties as mementos of their meeting.

The latest poll from the ＂Formosa＂ website reveals a close race in Taiwan’s presidential election, with Lai Ching-te of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) leading by a slim margin of 31.4%, followed closely by Hou Yu-ih of the Kuomintang (KMT) at 31.1%. Ko Wen-je of the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) trails in third place with 25.2%, over 6 percentage points behind the front-runners. Former legislator Shen Fu-hsiung, speaking on TVBS Situation Room, analyzed the situation, highlighting that the close polling between Hou and Ko does not give Lai a significant advantage. However, he cautioned against calls for a collaboration between the KMT and TPP at this time. Shen further explained that in presidential system countries like Taiwan, cooperation talks are not typically pursued, unlike in parliamentary systems where post-election coalitions may form. With the widening gap in support between Hou and Ko, Shen urged political observers to abandon the idea of a pan-blue alliance. He also emphasized that if the KMT aims to surpass the DPP in the upcoming elections, they should focus on diminishing the TPP’s support and consolidating the pan-blue vote without relying on a formal alliance.

The Tainan District Court has sentenced Lin Hsin-wu to death twice and deprived him of his civil rights for life for the murder of two police officers in 2022. Lin brutally killed Tainan City Police Bureau officers Tu Ming-cheng and Tsao Jui-chieh, using a spring knife and firearms while pursuing a suspected car thief. Despite defense arguments about Lin’s impaired behavioral control due to severe alcohol use disorder, the court dismissed them. Taiwan still practices capital punishment, and the issue of its abolition has become a focus of public debate. Currently, there are 38 inmates on death row in Taiwan awaiting execution.

During a media session, Hsiao acknowledged her role in promoting the U.S.-Taiwan Initiative on 21st-Century Trade and negotiations for the ＂Avoidance of Double Taxation Agreement.＂ She highlighted bipartisan support in the U.S. Congress and efforts to propose legislative drafts. Hsiao also discussed tackling unanticipated issues such as supply chain resilience and securing vaccines during her time in the U.S. She emphasized the challenges stemming from Taiwan’s unique international status and the unfair treatment of Taiwanese in the global arena.

She believes her life experiences have fortified her to face challenges with greater strength.

由印度總理莫迪召集的G20視訊會議22日舉行，俄羅斯總統普欽在俄烏開戰後，首次與會並發表演說，稱俄羅斯已準備好展開對話結束俄烏戰爭。德州州立大學副教授翁履中今(23日)於《FOCUS世界新聞》中，接受主持人周祐萱線上訪問表示，「普欽的作法是想要操作兩手策略，還是真心想要跟烏克蘭談和平協議，還有待觀察，因為俄羅斯現在非常清楚的看到，烏俄戰場呈現僵局，此外，國際各個國家現在可能必須分心處理中東衝突，所以如果俄羅斯釋出部分善意，表面上呈現願意進行和平談判，很可能就會讓現在支持烏克蘭的國家重新思考，在烏克蘭沒有辦法完全收服失土，且戰爭陷入僵局可能要投入更多資源情況下，從國家利益的角度來看，或許有些國家會出現鬆動，這就是為甚麼說，當普欽呈現善意，甚至拋出橄欖枝的時候，要觀察究竟是玩兩手策略還是真的想要跟烏克蘭談。」

The Ministry of Education (MOE) clarified that school teacher bonuses are not part of salary raises, in response to the National Federation of Teachers Unions (NFTU) advocating for improved benefits for elementary and secondary school teachers. The MOE stated that homeroom teacher bonuses reached NT$3,000 before 2017, while the hourly wage for substitute teachers has increased. However, the bonuses for special education teachers still require approval from the Executive Yuan. The NFTU held a press conference to propose better conditions for kindergarten, elementary, and secondary school teachers, highlighting the government’s focus on universities and neglecting the needs of these teachers. With 250,000 out of the total 300,000 teachers in Taiwan working in elementary and secondary schools, the NFTU emphasized the significant remuneration gap, unadjusted overall salaries, and the lack of increase in special education teacher bonuses that need consideration. The NFTU chairman, Hou Chun-liang, emphasized the urgency of addressing the issue, as homeroom teacher and special education teacher bonuses have remained unchanged for 10 and 31 years, respectively. The NFTU’s publicity director, Luo Te-shui, urged that anything beneficial to education should not be delayed until the elections.

受到地緣政治的影響，供應鏈移轉，除了東南亞成為近五年企業投資的地區，歐洲也是台灣不少企業這幾年積極投資的地區，其中，瑞士成為台灣很多大企業望向的目標。今(22)日邀請到遠見雜誌主編羅之盈於《FOCUS世界新聞》中，接受主持人譚伊倫線上訪問表示，「瑞士跟台灣從原始時代相似度就極高，不僅土地面積差不多，周邊列強環繞，瑞士跟台灣的情境也有點像，此外，就傳統的經濟效益分析，瑞士和台灣的礦產資源都非常不豐富，所以在原始經濟條件不好的情況下，瑞士和台灣長期以來發展的方向都是『知識經濟』。」

美國國防部長奧斯汀20日突然造訪基輔，與烏克蘭領袖們會面，並向烏克蘭保證，美國將繼續支持基輔，且承諾加碼1億美元的軍事援助。哈佛甘迺迪學院學者、TVBS國際新聞評論員余文琦今(22日)於《FOCUS國際話題》中，接受主持人彭惠筠線上訪問表示，「現在很多人擔心美國內部對烏克蘭的支持會開始動搖，尤其共和黨到現在都還沒有答應，拜登對國會要求提供的600億美金預算補助，這其中包括450億對烏克蘭的人道救援及軍事援助，另外，也包括對以色列的140億美金武器援助，對於這次軍援，奧斯汀指出，這些資源應該足以幫助烏克蘭度過冬天，儘管戰事在夏季和秋季時不理想，不過自從2022年烏俄戰爭開戰後，美國已經向烏克蘭提供440億美元的武器援助，加上北約盟國也給烏克蘭提供大約350億美元的援助，但烏克蘭明顯還需要更多的援助。」
