南韓總統尹錫悅前往荷蘭進行國是訪問，雙方宣布成立「半導體聯盟」，這次同行的包括三星會長李在鎔等財團老闆，三星更決定在荷蘭打造第一座海外研發廠。TVBS韓國特約記者楊虔豪今(15日)於《FOCUS國際話題》中，接受主持人彭惠筠線上訪問表示，「尹錫悅11日到15日造訪荷蘭，這是南韓與荷蘭自1961年建交60年來，首次有南韓總統展開國是訪問，且不只尹錫悅，一行人中還包括三星集團會長李在鎔和SK集團會長崔泰源等人，對南韓而言，荷蘭擁有相當重要的地位，因為目前世界上主要半導體廠商在生產晶片時，需要用到的EUV和極紫外光曝光機都是由荷蘭的ASML艾司摩爾公司所製造，所以在半導體的地位和影響力獨大，且近年來隨著半導體議題受到關注，許多半導體大廠都搶著要跟ASML艾司摩爾公司下單，且盡可能的跟ASML艾司摩爾公司和荷蘭政府建立良好的關係。」

美國聯邦參眾議院今(15)日表決通過2024財政年度國防授權法，法案包括美台擴大軍事訓練計畫和網路安全合作，此外，在協助台灣強化自我防衛能力的計畫上，因為台灣軍購的魚叉飛彈遲遲未交貨，美國國會要求國務卿與國防部長未來四年內，每180天就要向國會報告一次對台灣安全援助的進度。德州州立大學副教授翁履中今(15日)於《FOCUS世界新聞》中，接受主持人李潔線上訪問表示，「國會要求行政部門對台灣提出更多的相關報告，讓國會更清楚掌握現在的台海局勢，及台灣在備戰上的準備情況是否完整，國防授權法當中所推動的條款包括，未來每180天國務卿跟國防部長都要向國會報告台海的最新局勢，及武器運送到台灣是否能彌補延宕的部分，另外美國國會也在法案當中加上，國防部必須在每180天向國會另外報告資訊戰或網路攻擊的情況，在台灣究竟嚴重到什麼程度，且不只國防部跟國務院，國防授權法也要求國家情報總監辦公室在法案通過後的60天內，必須立刻對台灣的局勢提出完整的安全報告，從這些不斷地報告，尤其國會向行政部門要求對台海局勢做徹底認識，可以看得出來美國國會對目前的台海局勢抱持高度的謹慎，且認為台海局勢到目前為止仍然非常緊張。」

As Taiwan’s 2024 election nears, discussions intensify on the island’s future, with a focus on young voters and the impact of China’s actions. A recent forum at NTNU delved into these critical issues, highlighting the role of Taiwan’s youth in shaping a democratic future amid escalating cross-strait tensions.

第28屆聯合國氣候峰會(COP28)在經過14天漫長的談判後，終於在13日落幕，這次氣候峰會也有達成歷史性的成果。願景工程基金會的特派記者孫文臨今(14日)於《FOCUS世界新聞》中，接受主持人譚伊倫線上訪問表示，「COP28是相當務實的峰會，氣候峰會主席在峰會期間多次提到，具體行動是非常重要的，因此這次氣候峰會的過程中有很多的行動，雖然做不到100分，但就算只有60分也可以，呼籲各國要提出一定的行動。」

美國聯準會在今年最後一次貨幣政策會議上宣布，聯邦資金利率目標區間維持在5.25%~5.5%的22年高點，符合市場預期，預計明年將降息三次，此消息一出，美股漲聲響起。德州州立大學副教授翁履中今(14日)於《FOCUS世界新聞》中，接受主持人譚伊倫線上訪問表示，「美國股市大漲創下新高，突破37000點，讓很多人都覺得大概全球通膨危機有稍微緩解，而美國本來遇到的通膨危機看起來也有軟著陸，很多專家、學者認定，軟著陸已經在發生，不再是可能，而是已經確定，這是否代表可以安心未來的經濟狀況，但要恢復到過去的榮景，恐怕還要一段時間，所以要稍微謹慎一些，畢竟通貨膨脹的比例在美國下降，從去年九月高達9.1%到現在經過一年多的時間，美國的通貨膨脹指數來到的3.1%，距離聯準會所期待的2%，還有一段努力的空間。」

美國商務部長雷蒙多日前才強調，輝達不能把最先進的半導體賣給中國大陸，並為大陸設計一款符合規定的晶片，但在11日又表示，輝達「能夠、將會且應當」向大陸出售人工智慧晶片。TVBS北京特派林閔榛今(14日)於《FOCUS國際話題》中，接受主持人彭惠筠線上訪問說明，「美國頻頻收緊對中國大陸的AI晶片出口管制，但有官員表示，美國正在和半導體公司輝達討論有限度允許銷售AI晶片到大陸市場，美國商務部長雷蒙多在12月11日接受路透社訪問時說到，輝達是『可以、將會且應該』賣AI晶片給大陸，因為大多數都是商業用途，美國不能允許的是讓輝達供應最精細、最高階處理能力的AI晶片，因為這會讓大陸得以訓練前沿模型，雷蒙多同時提到，和輝達執行長黃仁勳的談話內容，黃仁勳非常明確表明不想違反規定、願意配合，不過輝達拒絕對這件事情做出任何回應。」

COP28氣候峰會決議草案陷入僵局，主辦國阿拉伯聯合大公國，刪除「逐步淘汰化石燃料」的字眼，引發歐美和太平洋島國不滿。德州州立大學副教授翁履中今(13日)於《FOCUS世界新聞》中，接受主持人譚伊倫線上訪問表示，「目前看起來達成協議的可能性高，因為全球都有感受到氣候變遷的危機，且有共識要做出改變，而這個改變的限制就是逐步淘汰石化燃料，但對於石油輸出國家組織來說，淘汰石化燃料基本上是為害自己國家的利益，因此石油輸出國家組織的立場認為，要把字句做出更動，不要寫上逐步淘汰石化燃料，而是用公平公正且有序的方式，加強對於再生能源的研發或促進燃料排放的減少。」

最新出刊的天下雜誌經濟特刊統整了2024年經濟大預測，針對2000大CEO的2024景氣預測出爐，有近七成對全球景氣悲觀，六成擔心兩岸打仗。今(13)日邀請到天下雜誌資深研究員鄧凱元於《FOCUS世界新聞》中，接受主持人譚伊倫線上訪問說明，「調查發現，有高達八成的CEO認為景氣不好，有高達七成的CEO則認為2024年的景氣不好，因為受到地緣政治風險的影響，有高達六成的CEO認為明年地緣政治將成為最大的景氣不確定因素，再來就是大陸經濟成長進一步放緩及通膨難平，至於地緣政治風險一旦有任何的風吹草動，都可能讓企業的營收成長弭平。」

根據陸媒報導，由於當前中國大陸房地產降溫且經濟不景氣，租房市場遇到寒冬，不少屋主主動降房租。TVBS北京特派林閔榛今(13日)於《FOCUS國際話題》中，接受主持人吳安琪線上訪問說明，「統計顯示，全大陸40個主要城市的房租都正在下跌中，不少包租公、包租婆發文吐苦水，指怎麼房子招租越拖越久，且租房的議價空間有彈性，有房東在聽到租客要搬走後，甚至還主動提出降低房租。」

National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYMCU) has partnered with the American Climate Club (ACC) to establish the American Taiwan Climate Club. This collaboration aims to contribute to the global net-zero carbon emissions target by 2050. The two institutions have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to develop international carbon standards and propose a white paper on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) policies. NYMCU is committed to raising global citizens with sustainability awareness and plans to integrate the 17 Sustainable Development Goals into its academics and research. The partnership also has the potential to pave the way for Taiwan’s engagement in international carbon trading and promote green economic growth. The American Climate Club, registered in Texas, collaborates with government agencies, carbon reduction technology firms, carbon quality monitoring, carbon asset services, and climate and carbon finance funds. The newly formed American Taiwan Climate Club will focus on climate education, international cooperation, carbon project investment, carbon advisory services, and policy research to strengthen climate protection efforts.

Taiwanese job market trends are shifting, with professional certifications carrying more weight than before, according to a report by 104 Human Resource Consulting Services Company. The study found that the number of job openings requiring certifications in 2023 had increased by 8.1% compared to the previous year. Prospective employees with certifications received 35% more interview invitations than those without. English, Japanese, Vietnamese, Korean, and Thai are the most sought-after languages by employers, with the rise of the Korean Wave contributing to a significant increase in demand for Korean translation. Similarly, Thai language proficiency has witnessed an 11.9% increase due to businesses expanding into Southeast Asia. The sectors most in need of language capabilities are media, research and development, and senior management. Young professionals under 39 focus on acquiring career-boosting professional and language skills, while those over 40 diversify their learning to prepare for their career’s ＂second curve.＂ Despite the availability of free online resources, working professionals prefer paid learning, with 30.8% setting a learning budget within NT＄5,000. When it comes to investing in certifications, 37.5% are willing to spend over N＄$20,000, reflecting the value placed on formal qualifications in today’s competitive job market.

Taipei City Councilor and legislative candidate Yu Shu-hui highlights the crucial role Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an plays in attracting young voters with only 32 days remaining until the 2024 elections. Chiang’s popularity is evident as he rallies for Kuomintang (KMT) candidates in Taichung and Kaohsiung, receiving warm greetings from enthusiastic supporters. Yu advises Chiang to increase interaction with younger voters, possibly collaborating with KMT vice-presidential candidate Jaw Shaw-kong. The KMT needs to diversify its approach to connect with the electorate, as Chiang’s rising popularity adds pressure to the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). Chiang’s strategic positioning in this election indicates the KMT’s focus on courting the youth vote and leveraging his appeal to challenge the DPP’s stronghold. As political tensions rise, all eyes will be on Chiang as he continues to campaign across Taiwan leading up to the January election.

The story discusses the defense of Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) presidential candidate Lai Ching-te by his campaign director, Yao Li-ming. Yao defends Lai as a victim of the system, using Lai’s family home in Wanli District as an example. This defense comes in response to criticisms from Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) legislator-at-large candidate Huang Kuo-chang, who suggested that Lai should empathize with the hardships faced by the people. Yao criticizes Huang for hypocrisy, questioning his sincerity in displaying emotions. Yao highlights the struggles of residents living in mining areas and compares their situation to the limited residential rights of military dependents’ villages in the past. He argues that seeing distressed individuals as privileged is an unsupportive stance for voters. Yao expresses hope that if Lai becomes president, he will focus on improving miners’ housing rights and interests through legal and institutional reforms, similar to past government efforts to address the housing rights of military village residents.

Kuomintang (KMT) presidential candidate Hou Yu-ih has announced an extension of childcare policies, promising free after-school care services for elementary students aged 6 to 12. This initiative aims to double the current capacity of after-school care in public elementary schools from 180,000 to 360,000 children, with a focus on providing specialized care to children in rural areas and from disadvantaged backgrounds. Hou’s plan includes establishing after-school programs in public elementary schools to meet 100% of the demand, increasing student coverage from 15% to 30% and meeting the standard set by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The policy, guided by the ＂Three Safeties＂ principle, aims to ensure parental peace of mind, child safety, and stability for the disadvantaged. Extended care until 7 p.m. will be available during the school term and vacations. Additionally, the initiative seeks to expand private-sector participation in after-school care services by creating a matching platform to add over 20,000 new classes and increasing the proportion of outsourced after-school care to over 20%. The anticipated benefits of this policy include providing services to approximately 300,000 families, including 80,000 disadvantaged families, creating around 30,000 job opportunities, and strengthening the service capacity of private institutions.

Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) vice-presidential candidate Hsiao Bi-khim emphasized the importance of the DPP holding a majority in the legislature to ensure continuous progress for Taiwan. Speaking at a women’s support group event in Tucheng District, Hsiao highlighted her past achievements, including signing the inaugural agreements of the U.S.-Taiwan Initiative on 21st-Century Trade. She also mentioned that talks to prevent double taxation with the U.S. are nearing completion, which will enhance bilateral trade relations. Hsiao stressed the DPP government’s commitment to establishing friendly and commercial ties with the international community, urging a broader perspective beyond the focus on the 1992 Consensus. She expressed confidence in the foreign policy direction under President Tsai Ing-wen’s administration and the potential for a Lai-Hsiao team to continue this diplomatic route. Hsiao emphasized the symbolic significance of drawing number two in the election draw, representing integrity and steady advancement, and portraying the elections as a testament to Taiwan’s democratic strength. She reiterated the importance of a legislative majority for the DPP to implement stable and progressive policies, reducing resource drain from cross-party conflicts.

The Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) campaign headquarters head, Huang Shan-shan, revealed internal polling data on the TPP’s Ko-Ying ticket, claiming they rank second in the presidential race. The Democratic Progressive Party’s (DPP) Lai-Hsiao ticket leads with a 29.9% support rate, followed closely by the Ko-Ying ticket at 27.6%, with the Kuomintang’s (KMT) Hou-Kang ticket trailing at 24.3%. However, this tactic was criticized by Shih Hsin University communications professor Yu Tzu-hsiang, who accused Huang of engaging in propaganda. Professor Yu suggested that the KMT’s unified force has gained momentum, contrasting with TPP candidate Ko Wen-je’s declining support after the failed KMT-TPP coalition. Yu argued that Ko should focus on vigorous campaign activities to garner public and media attention rather than relying on internal polls.

KMT vice presidential candidate Chao Shao-kang criticizes the DPP’s absolute control of Taiwan’s governance, blaming it for causing chaos in the nation. Chao highlights the DPP’s warnings that a KMT majority would undermine checks and balances, leaving Taiwan ＂hollowed out＂. He argues that the DPP’s eight years in power have resulted in a financial deficit, increased cross-strait tensions, and the loss of nine diplomatic allies. Chao also points to a 19-month decline in export markets, exacerbating wealth inequality and housing issues. He attributes these outcomes to the DPP’s dominance from the presidency to the legislature, arguing that local governments focus on infrastructure projects unrelated to Taiwan’s political influence.

The Ministry of Education in Taiwan has clarified that the new Curriculum Guidelines have not abandoned traditional virtues, but rather aim to encourage students to contemplate and practice these values in everyday life. The guidelines emphasize competency-based learning and include selections of classical Chinese texts from different eras, authors, and genres. The Ministry responded to criticism by stating that traditional virtues such as righteousness and integrity have not been discarded. They also highlighted that Taiwanese students possess strong competencies, which can be attributed to the new competency-driven curriculum. The curriculum for Mandarin Chinese is designed to develop students’ ability to articulate and rationalize thought, with materials reflecting various historical periods, ideologies, literary genres, Taiwanese modern literature, world Chinese literature, translations, and literary discourse. Classical Chinese texts still constitute an average of 35% to 45% of high school students’ studies over three years, reflecting diverse epochs, authors, and genres. The focus of Taiwanese education should be on developing critical thinking skills and enabling students to learn independently and build cultural depth.

美國內華達大學拉斯維加斯分校槍擊案，3名死者中有一人來自台灣，他是64歲的商學院教授張家禎，據CNN報導，槍手疑似曾經應試內華達州大學，但沒有被錄取，不排除因此種下殺機。德州州立大學副教授翁履中今(8日)於《FOCUS世界新聞》中，接受主持人何冠毅線上訪問表示，「從校園槍擊的數字分析，美國目前為止光今年在校園發生的槍擊就高達80起，已經創下歷史新高，而在疫情之後，很多課程都移到線上，進一步導致師生、同儕和校園當中人與人之間的關係，跟過去相比沒有這麼緊密，這種校園冷漠氣氛或許是校園槍擊案事件數字增加的原因之一，等於校園網路課程的副作用，畢竟校園槍擊案的數字是在2020年之後不斷地升高。」

第28屆聯合國氣候峰會(COP28)進入第二週談判，今(8)日邀請到願景工程基金會的特派記者劉十賢於《FOCUS世界新聞》中，接受主持人何冠毅線上訪問說明，「最引起台灣民眾關注的莫過於各國簽署的核能倡議，但其實這份倡議並不是屬於聯合國大會的決議，而是22個與會國家私下簽署的志願型協議，目的是希望可以爭取更多對核能電廠的投資，此外，美國氣候特使凱瑞也提到核融合的技術，希望未來可以用在減碳的進程上，不過，台灣的現況還是要面對核廢料到底要放哪等問題。」

中國大陸官方預估，2024年大學畢業生將再度突破千萬人，約有1179萬名新鮮人投入職場，而這些畢業生即將加入求職行列，讓已經十分困難的青年就業市場更加嚴峻。TVBS駐深圳特派記者陳相如今(8日)於《FOCUS國際話題》中，接受主持人吳姝叡線上訪問表示，「有分析指出，大陸的就業困難除了經濟蕭條外，政府前幾年所推行錯誤的產業政策也是重要原因之一，從2022年底大陸放棄嚴厲的清零政策以後，北京當局期望的強勁經濟復甦並沒有出現，反而以房地產業為中心的債務危機向外擴散，幾乎導致整體經濟瀕臨通縮邊緣，大批企業倒閉，失業率飆升，包括大學畢業生在內，年齡在16到24歲的年輕人失業率超過21%，對此，有大陸專家評估，實際數據可能接近50%。」

Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) presidential candidate Ko Wen-je expressed disappointment in the failure to establish an alliance with the Kuomintang (KMT), citing his medical background and trust in others as a disadvantage in politics. He believes that the mishandling of the breakup with the KMT has led to his declining support. Despite the acrimony, Ko hinted at potential future cooperation with Foxconn’s founder Terry Gou, acknowledging their maintained contact for policy collaboration. Ko praised Gou’s think tank on finance and economics for its excellent work, revealing that his team has consulted and adopted numerous economic policy suggestions from Gou’s proposals. The focus at this stage is on policy partnership, with paths toward collaborative governance remaining open between the two camps.

中國大陸近日推遲向南韓出口尿素溶液，引發南韓擔憂「車用尿素荒」再起。TVBS韓國特約記者楊虔豪今(7日)於《FOCUS世界新聞》中，接受主持人陳韻雯線上訪問表示，「目前南韓的尿素有九成以上都是從大陸進口，在2021年底就出現過大陸因為管制尿素出口，造成南韓的尿素用盡，柴油車等不到尿素可加的窘境，進而導致交通混亂、貨運癱瘓的現象，當時，尿素的價格更從原本每10公升只要250新台幣，飆升到超過2700塊，隨後是南韓外交部動用人力，緊急和大陸展開協商才解除危機。」
