德國外交部長回應泰國示威者
星期一泰國示威者以德國領事館為終點示威,目的係以「人類,而不是浮塵」("fellow human beings, not dust")嘅身份發公開信,關心下泰王响德國嘅生活。主要係希望德國政府幫手搞清楚( “clarification on this matter”)四樣嘢,泰王有無响德國國土上執行泰國政務,泰王啲德國嘅日常生活,响2016年前任泰王離世嘅時候有無交德國嘅遺產稅,泰國嘅人權狀況等等。
德國外交部真係識玩,首先領事館知道示威嘅日期同時間之後,即刻出封公開信,話知道示威嘅目的地係領事館附近,不過絕對支持泰國人和平示威嘅權利,同時提醒泰國維也納公約(Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations)嘅簽署國之一,所以有責任對領事館提供適當保護。
隱藏嘅意思大概係,我地支持和平示威㗎,只係要適量嘅保護,咪借我過橋對啲示威者郁手郁腳(或者出水炮之類)呀...
而德國外交部長Heiko Maas就無咁隱晦喇,响記者會上面表明,
“I am also keeping an eye on the activities of the Thai king in Germany. If there are things there that we consider illegal, then there will be immediate consequences.”
(本人亦會繼續睇實泰王响德國嘅活動,如果有任何嘢係非法嘅,當然會有即時後果。)
咁講算唔算冒犯泰國皇室㗎?

Nightcrawler whistles | Lee Yee
High-ranking officials who have been sanctioned by the US and those who have not yet made it on the list have each responded, one after another, in a “One Country, One System” tone of voice. Apart from "resolutely opposed" and "severely condemned," they have not addressed the reasons behind the US’ decision for the sanctions. They say it is an honor to be sanctioned for the cause of the nation. Some simply issued statements in simplified Chinese characters, clearly not targeted at the Hong Kong people. The most ludicrous is that Carrie Lam said she was planning to proactively cancel her US visa that expires in 2026 anyways. It turns out that she cannot enter the US border because she “voluntarily canceled” it herself. Her Ah-Q-style, self-consoling spirit does not die!
An honor or a disgrace, it really depends on who issued the sanction. To be sanctioned by North Korea, Cuba, Russia or China is not the same as being sanctioned by the US. As such, feelings of glory or humiliation should be the opposite too. Some international experts and finance experts analyzed that the strictest clause is to “prohibit all transactions by US persons or within (or transiting) the US that involve any property or interests in property of designated or otherwise blocked persons.” If genuinely implemented, it would mean that the bank accounts and credit cards of sanctioned individuals will be canceled, their Facebook accounts will be shut down, McDonald’s cannot sell them Happy Meals, they cannot buy iPhones from Apple and cannot enjoy original factory maintenance services, etc. It is said that even China-funded banks will be black-listed because China-funded banks also have branches in the US. It is still uncertain whether these will be the case because never before have sanctioned individuals come from an international finance center such as Hong Kong. Although it is undetermined, the concerned parties cannot but consider the implications and countermeasures if confirmed. It is embarrassing enough just not to be able to use a credit card.
In 1969, the Soviet Union wanted to carry out a “surgical strike” on China’s nuclear base. It tried to gauge the reaction of the US, but the US halted them to stop. Why did not the Soviet Union test the water with other nuclear-weapon states such as the UK and France? This is because the US military power is strong enough to contain reckless military actions by other countries.
In 1971, Henry Kissinger made a secret visit to China and the Sino-US relations achieved a major breakthrough. That year, the United Nations (UN) General Assembly passed a motion to admit the entry of China in the UN. How is it that China had struggled for more than two decades to join the UN but managed to win the resolution this round? This is because the US had changed its China policy.
In 2000, the US granted China permanent normal trade relations status. The following year, China entered the World Trade Organization (WTO) and has since found prospering opportunities to become the World’s Factory in the global market. Why had China not been able to enter the WTO for so many years? This is because the US did not grant China this permanent normal trade status until this time.
When China and the US commenced diplomatic relations in 1979, Deng Xiaoping visited the US and said to his accompanying associate on the plane: “Looking back over the past few decades, all countries that have good relations with the US have prospered.” China has indeed thrived. What Deng did not say was that the countries that have unfriendly relations with the US have pauperized, such as Cuba, China before 1976, and even the Soviet Union, which had only strategic weapons, and its people had to line up to buy bread.
The Cold War after the Second World War was led by the US, and other Western countries followed. The US has always been the trending global leader with its national power, system, technology, dollar hegemony, pop culture, and free spirit. It is not that the US does not make mistakes, but its system and the spirit of freedom make it capable of correcting its mistakes. The US began the wave of diplomatic relations between Western countries and China in the 1970s, and the trend of investing in China in the 21st century. Without the US, China would still be isolated and impoverished. The US is now making amends and starting an ultra-cold war with China, which seems to have also shown a trend-setting momentum.
So, are sanctions the new direction? At least the Five Eyes Alliance will follow subsequently. Stop deceiving yourself with “I have no assets in the US” and “I do not want to go to the US.”
Therefore, not only eleven individuals and their families suffered insomnia last Friday night, but also some followers and those who did things against their conscience. Returning officers responsible for disqualifying nominees, wicked police officers, 18 members of the Council of the University of Hong Kong, and those who claimed not patriotic enough to make it to the first sanction list and not able to enjoy the honor. I’m afraid they did not get a wink of sleep either or at least suffered anxiety because only an idiot cannot see the true powers and the direction of the world trends.
The humiliation brought about by being cut off from US companies, the immediate considerations of various inconveniences, the spread of sanction from the US to other civilized countries, the devastating impact on the will to govern subordinates and the entire ruling team, and many more. These will not just happen overnight but will come one after another and very soon. The responses of the sanctioned high-level officials are really just nightcrawlers whistling.

響應黨團!敦促市府爭取締結牛津成姐妹市!
「臺英友好,就從臺南與牛津開始。」
今日臺南市議會民進黨團特別召開記者會,全力敦促市府爭取國際交流機會。
佳欣本身與牛津有過一段遊學經歷,深感同為古都體質相似,能夠互相學習交流求進步,牛津久來保有古色古香的建築群,與台南古蹟林立並駕齊驅,這讓本市在台灣城市中極具優勢,締結姐妹市可推進更多經貿、論學、觀光與城市經營等交流,對於提升台南國際能見度、與市民朋友國際化學習能力以及城市進步都有很大的幫助,我們一同協力來促成!
Tainan City Councilor Cheng Chia-Hsin(Jenny) said that herself(I have) has been to Oxford in 2014, July 2nd for a month. Although Oxford has a small population of over 160,000, it is a well-known city in the UK, and Oxford is an internationally known for its historic Oxford University. The entire city retains its antique buildings, which are very similar to the ancient cultural capital of Tainan and are popular tourist attractions. There are many places for exchanges and cooperation in academics, tourism, culture and transportation. These common points will also become a good foundation for mutual exchanges.
"Taiwan-Britain friendship begins with Tainan and Oxford." The Tainan City Council DPP group stated that China’s diplomatic situation is extremely difficult. This time it has expanded from epidemic prevention to diplomatic relations and successfully connected to the international community. As for whether Tainan can be in this opportunity to stand out is worthy of everyone’s expectation and attention, and the Tainan City Council DPP group will fully support the Tainan City Government to promote this cooperation.
