徐勉生's view: Ukraine's awkward position leaves its future uncertain.
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
The article analyzes how U.S.-Ukraine relations have deteriorated as the U.S. stance shifted after 川普 took office. 川普 criticized 澤倫斯基 over energy prices, while Russia denied his legitimacy, leaving Russia-Ukraine ceasefire talks deadlocked and Ukraine in an awkward position.
Facts
U.S. President 川普 publicly criticized Ukrainian President 澤倫斯基 during an interview at the White House on October 10, saying bluntly that Ukraine should have a new president.
川普 believes Ukraine's attacks on Russian refineries caused U.S. diesel prices to rise, making them the culprit behind rising prices and inflation.
澤倫斯基's constitutional term ended in 2024, but he has remained in office because presidential elections cannot be held during wartime.
Russian President 普丁 believes 澤倫斯基 is no longer a legitimate president and has therefore refused to negotiate a ceasefire agreement with him.
澤倫斯基 proposed that Ukraine would organize an election if Russia agreed to a comprehensive 60-day ceasefire.

Dispatch from Sweden》The fallacy of supporting 川普 and Taiwan's strategic risks—also, the responsibilities of Taiwan's news media and public intellectuals
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
The article criticizes some Taiwanese media pundits and academics for blindly supporting 川普, mistaking his transactional diplomacy for a commitment to protect Taiwan, and getting involved in partisan disputes under the influence of U.S. right-wing think tanks, seriously damaging cross-party trust and Taiwan's strategic security.
Facts
矢板明夫 and 余茂春 are accused of being staunch 川普 supporters who often make absurd statements in support of 川普 and portray his words and actions as favorable to Taiwan.
明居正 emphasizes that hawkish aides under 川普 are anti-communist, and concludes that the 川普 administration's goal is to bring down the Chinese Communist Party.
汪浩 and others promote the simplistic logic that the Republican Party and 川普 mean strong support for Taiwan, while the Democratic Party and 拜登 mean weakness and fear of the Chinese Communist Party.
During his presidency, 拜登 publicly said at least 4 times that the United States would send troops to defend Taiwan if China attacked it by force.
川普 has publicly accused Taiwan of taking 100% of the U.S. chip business, and demanded that Taiwan move factories back to the United States or pay for protection.
余茂春 served as an adviser to Secretary of State 龐培歐 during 川普's first term, then became a think tank scholar at the Hudson Institute.
Overseas Chinese-language media such as The Epoch Times, New Tang Dynasty Television and Apollo News have long spread conspiracy theories about the deep state and election fraud.
In an interview with Time magazine, 川普 said a “great Taiwanese chip company” was preparing to invest $500 billion in the United States.
At a Republican campaign rally in Alaska, 川普 announced that Taiwan would purchase 30% of Alaska's liquefied natural gas（LNG）over the next 20 years and invest an additional $4.4 billion.

林騰鷂's view: President 賴清德 should dismiss 卓榮泰 immediately to avoid severely damaging constitutional democracy and making Taiwan an international laughingstock.
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
林騰鷂, a retired professor of law at Tunghai University, wrote an article criticizing the Presidential Office for evading Legislative Yuan Speaker 韓國瑜's constitutional concerns about Premier 卓榮泰's refusal to countersign laws. The article stressed that 卓榮泰 has no constitutional basis for refusing to countersign and called on President 賴清德 to exercise his appointment authority to dismiss 卓榮泰 and resolve the executive-legislative standoff.
Facts
Legislative Yuan Speaker 韓國瑜 publicly pointed out at the National Day celebration on October 10 that Premier 卓榮泰 had refused to countersign laws passed by the Legislative Yuan in their third reading.
The Executive Yuan acknowledged on August 27 that 8 bills passed by the Legislative Yuan in their third reading had not been countersigned.
In a response on October 13, 卓榮泰 claimed that refusing to countersign was his constitutional right and duty.
Article 72 of the Constitution stipulates that the president must promulgate a bill within 10 days of receiving it.
Article 3, Paragraph 2, Subparagraph 2 of the Additional Articles of the Constitution explicitly sets out the reconsideration procedure.
Article 2, Paragraph 2 of the Additional Articles of the Constitution stipulates that the president's orders appointing or dismissing the premier do not require a countersignature.

陳世昌's view: U.S. and Taiwan midterm elections put voters' wisdom to the test.
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
Veteran journalist 陳世昌 analyzes the differences between U.S. and Taiwan midterm elections, noting that U.S. voters are disappointed with 川普's team over economic and foreign policy issues, while infighting in Taiwan's blue-and-white camp has reversed the electoral outlook, raising the prospect of the Democratic Progressive Party remaining in power for the long term.
Facts
Taiwan and the United States coincidentally face midterm elections, but the social atmosphere in each is strikingly different.
Voter anger in the United States is boiling over, with even deep-red areas that reliably vote Republican showing clear signs of wavering.
Trump framed the election as a fight for his political survival, but that appears to have backfired.
Two months into the final stretch of Taiwan’s election campaign, an unexpected reversal has emerged, with the “ocean current” closing in on Chiang Wan-an in Taipei.
The disunity of the Blue and White camps, especially the KMT’s old habit of infighting, is the key factor shaping the race.
The DPP is “attacking Chiang Wan-an as a whole party,” yet the KMT has not been “rallying behind Chiang Wan-an as a whole party.”
U.S. voters have awakened from the Trump illusion and worry that indulging the Trump administration could jeopardize America’s hegemonic position.
The economic benefits for all and cross-strait peace and stability that Lai Ching-te put forward in his Double Ten address were described as ideas that could drift along with the ocean current.
Zhao Wenzong’s View: Kokuho Has No Demons, Nor Does It Subvert Anything
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
In his review of the film Kokuho, Zhao Wenzong examines the mirror relationship between protagonist Kikuo and another character, gender identity, and patriarchal norms. The article argues that Kikuo proves his masculinity through women, that his tattoo shifts from a symptom to a sacred sign, and that he eventually disappears after acknowledging his illegitimate daughter in order to uphold tradition.
Facts
Kokuho was released last year and earned widespread acclaim despite failing to make it in Hollywood at the Oscars.
Kokuho set a new box-office record for a live-action film in Japan.
Kikuo is played by Ryusei Yoshizawa, and Shunsuke is played by Ryusei Yokohama.
Harue is played by Mitsuki Takahata, and Akiko is played by Nana Mori.
In the film adaptation, Akiko leaves Kikuo, while in the novel she stays by his side and supports him.

Woodford brought together the New Keynesian model in his 2003 book Interest and Prices.
The New Keynesian IS curve describes a positive relationship between the current output gap and the expected output gap in the next period, and a negative relationship with the expected real interest-rate gap.
Woodford uses the Taylor rule to set central bank interest-rate policy, making nominal interest rates positively related to both inflation and the output gap.
The Federal Reserve’s rate hike last month and futures-market expectations of three rate hikes over the next year are consistent with Woodford’s model’s predictions about supply-side shocks.

Opinion: When the Tide Recedes, We See Who’s Swimming Naked; When the Tornado Passes, We See Who Can’t Govern
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
A current-affairs commentator criticizes DPP candidates Shen Po-yang and Lai Jui-lung, saying their campaign personas are respectively an “ocean current” that shifts with the tide and a “tornado” that whips up storms. The commentator accuses both of lacking a sense of governing responsibility and core values, and of shifting urban risks onto residents.
Facts
The DPP has packaged its Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Po-yang and Kaohsiung mayoral candidate Lai Jui-lung as a cross-city duo, promoting the slogan “The ocean current reaches the harbor; the Lai tornado strikes.”
Kaohsiung mayoral candidate Lai Jui-lung launched the “Shape-Shifting Longlong” campaign, playing sixteen different roles as Kaohsiung residents.
Shen Po-yang once said the benefits of the Twin-City Forum were extremely limited, but after entering the election campaign he changed his position, saying the existing framework could be retained as long as there were no political preconditions.
After Lai Jui-lung addressed a controversy involving his children and school bullying, reports later emerged that social media commenters had been blocked, prompting questions from the public.
The author argues that the pairing of Shen Po-yang and Lai Jui-lung looks more like two political marketing campaigns seeking comfort in each other than a genuine breath of fresh air in politics.

Opinion: If NT$18 Billion in Traffic Fines Is Earmarked for Road Safety, Will Taiwan See a Springtime for Traffic?
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
The Ministry of Transportation has proposed raising the share of traffic fines allocated to road safety to 100%, which is expected to generate more than NT$18 billion in additional dedicated funding each year. The author questions whether the money could become a source of political or market interests without a risk-assessment mechanism, and calls for a system that ties funding to performance.
Facts
On Oct. 2, the Ministry of Transportation announced proposed amendments to the Regulations on the Distribution and Use of Revenue from Road Traffic Violation Fines.
The draft proposes raising the statutory share of traffic-violation fine revenue allocated to local governments from at least 12% under current rules to 100%, with all of it restricted to designated uses.
According to media reports, Taiwan issued about 16.31 million traffic tickets in 2025, about 3.3 times Japan’s 4.93 million.
Hsinchu County recorded 12,309 traffic accidents in 2025, of which 6,416, or about 52.12%, were concentrated in 33 villages and boroughs.
The draft stipulates that the new system will apply starting in the fiscal year following its promulgation and implementation.
Opinion: “The Death Penalty and State Power”—An Issue Often Used for Electioneering and Public-Opinion Manipulation
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
This article offers a philosophical and legal analysis of the debate over whether Taiwan should retain the death penalty, arguing that the core issue is not merely retributive justice but also the limits of state power and the legitimacy of the social contract. Drawing on the ideas of Hobbes, Beccaria, Kant and Hegel, the author questions the basis for the state’s authority to take life, emphasizes the lack of empirical evidence that the death penalty deters crime, and highlights the irreversible risks of wrongful convictions.
Facts
In Taiwan, the key to the debate over whether to retain the death penalty lies in the cultural context and the debate over human rights and the extent of state power.
The legitimacy of the modern state rests on the idea of the social contract, under which people surrender some of their rights to public authority to maintain order.
Beccaria argued that people do not hand the state a blank check to dispose of their lives at will.
Kant’s theory of punishment stresses that punishment must first be grounded in the offender’s own culpability.
Education and Stalinization—Only in Moscow Did I Understand What Communism Is: Excerpt from The Kremlin’s Chinese Vanguard (3)
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
This article examines the educational system at Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow in the 1920s, particularly the translation teams and teaching corps established to overcome language barriers. These institutions trained future Chinese Communist Party leaders such as Zhang Wentian and Wang Jiaxiang, who deepened their understanding of Marxism during this period.
Facts
On 二月十一日, 一九二六, the Bolshevik Politburo decided to establish a special translation team at the Communist University of the Toilers of China.
Sheng Yue estimated that 九十 percent of students at Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow had poor Russian skills until they left the university.
Deng Xiaoping served as the Chinese Communist Party secretary of the “theorists’ class” at Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow and was nicknamed “Little Cannon” by his classmates.
Students generally had little knowledge of Marxism or the Russian Revolution when they enrolled, and were mainly familiar with Sun Yat-sen’s writings or traditional Chinese philosophy.
