【新聞自由難能可貴】

5/3是 #世界新聞自由日，今年的主題是「將訊息視為公共財」，更加凸顯可靠訊息的重要性。

不久前，無國界記者組織發布的2021年 #世界新聞指數 報告中指出，部分亞。太。極。權。國家仍以武漢肺炎疫情為藉口，限制新聞自由與資訊傳遞，導致假資訊層出不窮。

外交部吳部長日前在美國智庫馬侃研究所（McCain Institute）的預錄演說中，特別提到「中國操作假訊息的目的為試圖在民主社會中製造混亂與猜疑」，像是中國人民長久以來活在中共政府的監視底下，對於新疆再教育營與香港民主派人士遭監禁等資訊完全被矇在鼓裡。

而正如世界新聞指數報告中所述，對抗造假資訊的最佳良方就是 #新聞自由，5/3這天，讓我們一同珍惜難能可貴的新聞自由。

#Taiwan has harnessed the power of #transparency during the #COVID19 pandemic to stop #disinformation and rumors causing panic. But disinformation doesn’t just cause panic, it can also blind us to the plight of others and deafen us to their voices.

MOFA Minister Joseph Wu recently pointed out in a discussion during #SedonaForum21 that the PRC's Orwellian control of the media has allowed it to spin reports on reeducation camps in #Xinjiang and the imprisoning of democracy activists in #HongKong. This serves as a reminder to diversify your sources of news and information, as the PRC continues to try and shut down #FreeSpeech beyond its borders, to ensure you’re hearing more than just #OneSideOfTheStory.

【台灣 - 前線的民主捍衛者】

最近有人說，台灣是世界上最危險的地方；但不管別人如何評價，台灣都是民主自由的捍衛者。

外交部吳部長接受美國智庫 #馬侃研究所（McCain Institute）邀請，在其舉辦的 #聖多納論壇 (The Sedona Forum) 發表預錄演說。吳部長在「民主捍衛者：來自全球前線的聲音」場次中重申，#中國威權主義擴張，對全球民主已造成威脅，而中國對台灣進行軍事脅迫、經濟施壓以及假訊息操作等手段，試圖在民主社會中製造混亂與猜疑，因為台灣的民主越昌盛，中國政府越不安。面對中國壓力，台灣人仍然會堅持捍衛 #民主自由與國家主權。

吳部長呼籲各界支持民主台灣，因為唯有民主同盟團結一致，民主才能獲得真正的勝利。

聖多納論壇是美國智庫「馬侃研究所」的年度高層對話，每年都邀請來自世界各國的政要與意見領袖出席。

Someone recently said Taiwan is the most dangerous place on Earth. No matter what people said, Taiwan is on the front line of defending democracy.

Foreign Minister Wu was invited to prerecord a speech by U.S. think tank the McCain Institute for the annual Sedona Forum themed "Defending Democracy: Global Voices from the Frontlines." In his speech, Minister Wu said China's authoritarian expansionism poses a threat to democratic countries around the world, and its ongoing campaign of military and economic coercion against Taiwan backed by the dissemination of misinformation, disinformation and other measures is designed to sow discord and doubt among the people. The success of Taiwan's democracy makes the Chinese Communist Party uneasy, he said, adding Taiwan's people will continue to steadfastly defend their freedom, democracy and sovereignty in the face of Chinese pressure.

Minister Wu also called for democratic countries around the world to unite in support of Taiwan.
