定宇分享台灣相關外交國防消息…

美國海軍部長提名人托羅（Carlos Del Toro），13日出席參議院軍事委員會的任命聽證會。如果你看完下列托羅的證詞，再加上不久前，美軍太平洋艦隊司令帕帕羅所說的「防止中國武統台灣是我的責任。」可以看出美國印太戰略架構中，對台的安全政策和紅線。

托羅強調，「（美國）以所有可能的方式保衛台灣是至關重要的事，這需要全面審視我們對台灣的國家承諾。我們應該專注於為台灣提供儘可能多的自衛措施。」

「如果獲確認為海軍部長，我將特別專注於中國的威脅，特別專注於推進我們的海上戰略，以保護台灣和我們在印太地區所有的國家安全利益。」

「中國軍事實力的不斷成長，美海軍優勢已非當然之理。海軍有必要達成355艦隊的目標，以有效嚇阻北京在南海的擴張行動…他尚未通過提名，無法參與2022年度財政預算案，但是他會在2023年財政年度預算案爭取落實這個目標。」

——以下為美國海軍部張提名人托羅攸關台灣的重要證詞——
"It's incredibly important to defend Taiwan in every way possible," Del Toro told the Senate Armed Services Committee at his confirmation hearing. "It takes a holistic view of our national commitment to Taiwan. We should be focused on providing Taiwan with as much self-defensive measures as humanly possible.

"And if confirmed to the Navy, I am going to be exclusively focused on the China threat and exclusively focused in moving our maritime strategy forward in order to protect Taiwan and all of our national security interests in the Indo-Pacific theater," he added.

Del Toro said at his confirmation hearing that he supports the 355-ship goal. Pressed on the fiscal 2022 budget, Del Toro stressed he has not been involved since he isn't confirmed yet, but he pledged to fight for resources in the fiscal 2023 budget.

【唐鳳教你如何辨識數位民主與數位威權！】

美國人工智慧國家安全委員會（NSCAI）7/13首度舉辦 #全球新興科技峰會 （Global Emerging Technology Summit），講到科技議題，台灣的數位政委 #唐鳳 當然是不二人選，她以預錄影片方式發表演說，征服（增幅）群眾。

🔹談到 #數位民主

唐政委講到數位有「透明」的概念，但是透明像斯斯一樣有兩種；在台灣，數位民主的「透明」基礎是 #互信，讓政府對人民透明，但對數位威權而言，「透明」則是讓人民對國家透明，用數位工具來 #監控 人民。

🔹談到 #應對假訊息 及 #科技抗疫

唐政委也向來賓分享台灣用「幽默戰勝謠言」應對假訊息，以及「口罩地圖」、「1922簡訊實聯制」等科技防疫方式，她也指出台灣遵循數位治理民主模式，政府也與私部門合作，在人工智慧、半導體產業、打擊假訊息及先進基礎建設網絡上都有優勢，是美國及民主國家的可靠夥伴。

✔️NSCAI為2018年依2019年度美國國防授權法案(NDAA 2019)成立之獨立聯邦機構。
✔️美國國務卿布林肯（Antony Blinken）、國防部長Lloyd Austin、商務部長Gina Raimondo及國安顧問蘇利文（Jake Sullivan）等出席發表演說，#駐美大使蕭美琴也應邀出席實體會議。

Good local time, everyone!

Taiwan’s Digital Minister Audrey Tang was among the speakers at the #US National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence’s recent Global Emerging Technology Summit.

In a pre-recorded speech, Minister Tang described how emerging technologies have been used to improve #DigitalDemocracy in #Taiwan, and how the government has built trust with the public through transparency of governance. She also talked about the ways Taiwan has been tackling disinformation with a fast, fair and fun “humor over rumor” strategy to tackling the #infodemic.

PTT is one of the most open social media platforms in the Chinese language. Though it’s not more populous than Facebook, it’s arguably more impactful than Facebook here in Taiwan. It’s a reflection of Taiwan's spirited democracy, and it’s used heavily as a source for local journalists.

We speak with two INDSR researchers on a year-long project, “A Pilot Study on PTT in the Context of Influence Operations” (批踢踢影響力作戰前導研究）which attempts to identify CCP state actors on the platfor. The researchers are Oddis J.F. Tsai (Policy Analyst at the Division of Defense Strategy and Resources) and Dr. Jui-Ming Hung (Assistant Research Fellow at the Division of Defense Strategy and Resources).

The paper lays out mechanics and - through quantitative analysis - identifies types of suspect behavior on the world’s largest non-commercial, forum-based, open-source online bulletin board system in the Chinese language. This interview was recorded in January 2021 after the paper was published by INDSR.

Today’s host is J.R. Wu - a non-resident advisor at INDSR (Institute for National Defense and Security Research) in Taiwan. Wu is a former journalist with nearly two decades of media experience in the US and Asia. She has led news bureaus for Reuters and Dow Jones.

(This interview was recorded in November 2020.)

In 2019, according to the Pentagon, China launched more ballistic missiles for testing and training than the rest of the world combined. It did it through its newly minted rocket force, the People's Liberation Army Rocket Force - acronym P-L-A-R-F.

PLARF is a critical component of China's nuclear deterrence strategy to deter and counter third-party intervention in regional conflicts. China's current defense minister, General Wei Fenghe, knows missiles. He was previously the commander of the predecessor of PLARF before PLARF was reorganized and given its new name.

Mark Stokes is our guest today. He is executive director of the Project 2049 Institute, a think tank based in Washington, DC. Mr. Stokes is a 20-year United States Air Force veteran who served in intelligence planning and policy roles.


Today’s episode is hosted by J.R. Wu - Chief of the Secretariat for INDSR (Institute for National Defense and Security Research) in Taiwan. Wu is a former journalist with nearly two decades of media experience in the US and Asia. She has led news bureaus for Reuters and Dow Jones.
