《NGO向聯合國特別報告員舉報台灣政府系統性歧視及剝奪陸配基本人權》

JEFS的專訪台灣陸配(來自中國大陸的配偶),揭露自從民進黨上台執政後的台灣政府長期採取歧視性政策剝奪陸配的基本人權權利;對比其他國籍的配偶,陸配需要更長時間審批歸化,並一直被政府質疑忠誠,以假定陸配為內地進行政治任務的態度對待,政府態度影響了民間對陸配群體的印象,形成了社會偏見,陸配生活在一個充滿偏見及敵意的環境,更難投入當地生活,亦影響了陸配在台灣下一代的成長,跨代歧視同樣是陸配在台灣生活的挑戰。

最近陸配人權的事件升溫,備受國際社會關注,JEFS作出了深入報導外,美國紐約時報卻以另一個角度探討陸配的政治立場和所謂的內地滲透,完全不談言論自由及家庭團聚等的基本人權,可見有關陸配的議題已經是高度政治化,而政治正在削弱自由社會對守護人權的神聖使命。

位於日內瓦並一直關注全球人權問題的NGO組織【全球南方社會公平發展論壇】(Global South Social Equity & Development)向聯合國暴力對待婦女及女孩特別報告員Ms Reem Alsalem及日內瓦婦女地位NGO委員會作出舉報,並要求聯合國有關女權的官員及人權衛士介入調查有關情況。全球南方社會公平發展論壇負責人向JEFS表示,目前聯合國有關部門並未回覆是次投訴,並將於稍後10月份繼續為台灣陸配被侵犯人權一事向CEDAW(聯合國消除對婦女歧視委員會)第93屆會議作為書面舉報。

《NGO Reports Taiwan Government for Systematic Discrimination and Denial of Basic Human Rights Against Mainland Chinese Spouses to UN Special Rapporteur》

JEFS’s recent interview with mainland Chinese spouses in Taiwan (spouses from mainland China) reveals that the Taiwanese government has long adopted discriminatory policies that deprive mainland Chinese spouses of their basic human rights since the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) came to power. Compared with spouses of other nationalities, mainland Chinese spouses require a longer time to apply for naturalization, and they are continuously questioned by the government regarding their loyalty. Mainland Chinese spouses are treated with an attitude that assumes mainland spouses are carrying out political missions for the Mainland China The government’s stance has influenced public perceptions of the mainland Chinese spouse community, thereby contributing to social prejudice. Living in an environment filled with bias and hostility makes it even harder for mainland Chinese spouses to integrate into local life. It also affects the growth of the next generation of mainland Chinese spouses in Taiwan. Intergenerational discrimination is likewise a challenge faced by mainland Chinese spouses living in Taiwan.

With recent incidents concerning the human rights of mainland Chinese spouses intensifying, the situation has drawn significant attention from the international community. While JEFS has produced in-depth reporting, the U.S. New York Times however has approached the issue from another angle—discussing mainland Chinese spouses’ alleged political positions and so-called “mainland infiltration”—without addressing fundamental human rights such as freedom of expression and family reunification. This shows that the issue concerning mainland Chinese spouses has become highly politicized, and politics is undermining the sacred mission of free societies to protect human rights.

Global South Social Equity & Development Forum, a NGO based in Geneva and long focusing on global human rights issues, has submitted a complaint to Ms. Reem Alsalem, the UN Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women and Girls, and to the NGO Committee on the Status of Women in Geneva. It has also called on relevant UN officials on women’s rights and human rights defenders to intervene and investigate the situation. Global South Social Equity & Development Forum told JEFS that, to date, the relevant UN departments have not responded to this complaint, and that in October it will continue to submit a written complaint regarding the human rights violations faced by mainland Chinese spouses in Taiwan to the 93rd session of CEDAW (the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women).

Mainland Chinese spouses’ Challenge in Taiwan: Overlapping hardships challenge protection of rights

Under the DPP administration, mainland Chinese spouses in Taiwan face severe intertwined hardships. They encounter lengthy, risky residency application procedures and unfair rules on child custody. Many have lost residency or been deported for pro-unification remarks, amid widespread online harassment and self-censorship. Their political rights are also restricted, while support groups face crackdowns. Lin Hui, a 30-year resident, has endured discrimination and pressure to stay silent. Sociologist Hsiao Ya-tan notes this large community suffers social stigma and lacks representation. Though local human rights rules exist, they fail to fully protect the group, harming cross-Strait people-to-people exchanges.

Interpreting the U.S.-Ukraine Agreement: The Devil is in the Details
讀美烏協定:魔鬼藏於細節中

"Economic sovereignty is an important component of national sovereignty, and key minerals are a primary source of income for sovereign nations. With half of Ukraine’s future revenues from these resources required to be paid into the so-called joint fund, this effectively signals the loss of Ukraine’s economic sovereignty."

"經濟主權是一國主權的重要組成部分,而關鍵礦產是主權國家收入的主要來源,烏克蘭今後這類收入的一半必須上交給所謂的共有基金,基本上宣告了烏克蘭經濟主權的喪失。"

Giving away US$1m daily to swing state voters, is Elon Musk crazy?

When Elon Musk announced that he would be giving away $1 million a day to voters in Pennsylvania, you might have thought it was an April Fool’s joke. But this so-called “Iron Man” of Silicon Valley is dead serious. However, Musk isn’t going to help charity – if you want a shot at that $1 million, you will need to sign a petition in support of Donald Trump!

Now, imagine this: You are just an ordinary voter in a swing state, and suddenly someone tells you that by simply signing your name, you could be entered into a lottery to win a million dollars. If you refer friends to join, you could even pocket an extra US$47 as a referral bonus. Tempting, right?

In plain terms, Musk is essentially buying votes from swing state voters—at a steep price. But while this might sound like he’s orchestrating some sort of politically charged Powerball, what he’s really doing is pushing the limits of America’s election laws.
Democrats are already sounding the alarm, calling this a blatant case of election bribery. Legally speaking, it’s a violation of federal law, and Musk could be facing jail time. But Musk claims this is merely his way of supporting the First and Second Amendments of the Constitution—free speech and gun rights—and that, compared to past elections, this doesn’t constitute voter bribery at all.
This move has added yet another layer of drama to an already tense election season. With less than 20 days to go before Election Day, swing state voters are becoming increasingly significant, especially in Pennsylvania.

To some, this might seem like an innovative way to “support democracy”. But to many more, it’s a disturbing reminder of just how money can warp the political process. If cold, hard cash can so directly sway voters, then what happens to the very essence of elections—the expression of free will?

And it raises a bigger, more troubling question: When a billionaire can so easily tip the scales of the political process, how many everyday citizens will walk into the voting booth for a quick buck, while their true concerns go unheard? Does this mean that, in future elections, the rich will simply keep raising the stakes, turning democracy into a spectacle—a game of high-stakes gambling?

Musk’s daily million-dollar “lottery” is a direct challenge to American election laws and democratic values. Where exactly is the legal line? How do we, as a society, reconcile this with our understanding of democracy? And how should we define the role of money in politics during election season? Whether this ploy will effectively draw more votes to the Republican side remains an open question. But one thing’s for sure: It’s a dangerous game, and Musk is playing it with reckless abandon.

Pager Explosion Divides the World

While Israel’s intention is to strike against Hezbollah, the outcome is an attack on the collective interests of Europe and America, stirring a new wave of state terrorism internationally.

What about (ism) China?

Earnest use of the term “whataboutism” is a dead giveaway of idiocy. It originates from the Irish national liberation struggle, when supporters of the British empire’s first foray into colonialism were made to feel bad, icky. Egads! How did this emotional horror occur? By being told that their in-group was guilty of atrocities in Ireland that justified violence in self-defense.

“Whataboutism” is close enough to an actual logical fallacy — tu quoque or the appeal to hypocrisy — for intellectual mediocrities to be fooled into thinking that by using the term, they have made a point.

「那邊(中國)又怎樣」主義

認真使用“那又怎樣”這個術語是愚蠢的明顯標誌。它源於愛爾蘭的民族解放鬥爭,當時支持英國帝國首度進行殖民主義的人感到內疚,感到不安。哎呀!這種情感上的恐怖是怎麼發生的?是因為被告知他們的團體在愛爾蘭犯下了罪行,這些罪行為暴力自衛提供了正當理由。

“那又怎樣”與一個實際的邏輯謬誤——同樣的錯誤或訴諸偽善——相似,讓那些智力普通的人誤以為使用這個術語就能提出一個論點。

特朗普躲過了初一,也逃過了十五

美國當地時間9月15日(周日)下午 1時30分許,特朗普正在佛羅里達自家的高爾夫球場打高爾夫,但砰砰的槍聲打斷了他與密友的比賽,特朗普迅速被身邊的特工按倒在地,隨後被推上一輛裝甲車,離開了現場。

這是繼7月13日特朗普在賓州巴特勒鎮舉行群眾集會遭到暗殺以來的第二次。上一次特朗普的右耳被子彈打傷,而這一次安然無恙,槍手連瞄准及開槍的機會都沒撈到,就被眼尖的特工及時發現,也讓美國兩黨的政治大佬們松了一口氣。

在短短的62天里,特朗普遭到兩次暗殺,凸顯了在政治極化的大背景下,美國的政治暴力與日增,政治暗殺正呈現常態化的趨勢,政治人物的安保工作面臨著前所未有的挑戰。
