2/3 of Swiss poll respondents want to stop buying F-35 fighter jets! Parliamentary investigation reveals: U.S. never promised a “fixed price”
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
A Swiss parliamentary investigation found that the F-35 fighter jet procurement contract contained no so-called “fixed price” commitment, sparking strong public anger. A poll found that 65% of voters want to cancel the contract, prompting the defense minister to acknowledge that the number of jets to be purchased must be reduced and stalling the strategic upgrade plan.
Facts
A Swiss parliamentary investigation report released in September confirmed that the U.S. claim of a “fixed price” contract for the fighter jets was entirely fictitious.
The latest poll shows that nearly two-thirds of Swiss voters want to cancel the plan to buy the new fighter jets, worth billions of dollars.
Switzerland secured approval through a nationwide referendum for the government to pass a budget of 6 billion Swiss francs to replace its aging air force fleet.
In a poll commissioned by Tamedia and 《20分鐘報》, 65% of respondents said the contract should be torn up, while only 28% wanted it to proceed.
The Swiss Federal Audit Office warned that the cost of upgrades required at air bases to meet F-35 operating standards will be far higher than initially estimated.
The U.S. had originally planned to deliver the first F-35 fighter jets to the Swiss Air Force as early as 2027.

Explainer》10 more years of peace across the Taiwan Strait? Leading U.S. scholar John Mearsheimer weighs in: “3 things” deter Beijing from attacking, and the U.S. will definitely intervene!
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
U.S. scholar John Mearsheimer analyzed the situation across the Taiwan Strait, saying the difficulty of amphibious operations, China’s lack of combat experience and potential U.S. and Japanese intervention make an invasion within 10 years unlikely. But if Taiwan declares independence, China will use force at any cost, while the U.S. will pressure Taiwan to maintain the status quo.
Facts
University of Chicago professor John Mearsheimer believes the likelihood of China invading Taiwan in the next 10 years is very low.
Mearsheimer noted that the Chinese military has not fought a war since 1979 and lacks combat experience.
Mearsheimer stressed that if Taiwan declares independence, China will wage war, even at an extremely heavy cost.
Mearsheimer predicts that if China attacks Taiwan, the U.S. will intervene and Japan will also help defend Taiwan.
Mearsheimer believes the U.S. will put intense pressure on Taiwan, forbidding it from declaring independence or hinting at independence.

Using a real-world test and statistical data, the National Fire Agency of the Ministry of the Interior revealed the serious dangers of installing gas water heaters in bathrooms or poorly ventilated areas. There were 122 carbon monoxide poisoning cases from 2020 to 2024, most stemming from the improper use of outdoor-type water heaters. The agency urged the public to make sure their water heater type is suited to its surroundings.
Facts
In a simulation of a gas water heater running in a bathroom for 20 minutes, the Fire Agency recorded carbon monoxide levels as high as 1500 ppm.
A total of 122 carbon monoxide poisoning cases occurred from 2020 to 2024, about 88% of them caused by outdoor-type water heaters installed in poorly ventilated areas.
People exposed to carbon monoxide levels of 1500 ppm may develop symptoms such as dizziness and vomiting within 20 minutes.
Taiwan recorded 24 carbon monoxide poisoning incidents in 2024, leaving 4 people dead and 59 hospitalized. Of these, 21 involved outdoor-type water heaters installed in poorly ventilated areas.
RF outdoor-type water heaters draw in air and exhaust fumes directly outside, so they are designed for use in outdoor, well-ventilated environments.

This article shares foolproof tips for pan-frying salmon, noting that simply frying it can leave the fish dry and tough. It recommends a combination of frying and covered simmering. After flipping the fish, add 50 c.c. of water and 1 tablespoon of rice wine, cover the pan and simmer over low heat for 2-3 minutes to lock in moisture and remove the fishy smell, yielding a crispy exterior and tender interior.
Facts
Simply pan-frying salmon can cause its internal moisture to evaporate rapidly at high heat, leaving the fish dry and tough.
The key to pan-frying salmon is to combine frying and covered simmering: sear one side until browned, then flip it, add liquid, cover the pan and simmer over low heat.
Experts recommend simmering thick-cut salmon with 50 c.c. of water and 1 tablespoon of rice wine.
Before pan-frying salmon, salt both sides and let it sit briefly until impurities begin to seep out, then pat it dry.
Cook salmon in a cold pan with cold oil, or no oil, laying the fish flat in the pan before turning on the heat.
Simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes, until all the water in the pan has evaporated and the skin is crisp again, then remove the fish.
Don’t stack your tray after finishing an airline meal! Veteran flight attendant shares 4 little-known facts about flying; not everyone can sit by an emergency exit.
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
A veteran flight attendant shared 4 little-known facts about flying, including why you shouldn’t stack meal trays, restrictions on emergency-exit seats, the high-calorie risks of airline meals and how business-class seat belts are designed.
Facts
The inside of an airline meal cart has drawer-like shelves, so trays need to be slid in flat; stacking them makes them too tall to fit.
Civil aviation regulations prohibit people aged 65 and older, pregnant women, infants and children from sitting beside emergency exits.
At an altitude of tens of thousands of feet, dry air and low pressure reduce people’s sensitivity to taste and smell by about 20% to 30%.
Business-class seats use three-point seat belts because some seats have angled or enclosed designs, with no conventional seatback in front for support.
To make up for diminished taste at high altitudes, airlines often use higher proportions of high-fat, high-salt and high-sugar seasonings in their meals.
