第一則：川普關稅新政 將對日韓徵收25%關稅
美國總統川普於7月7日宣布，計劃自8月1日起對日本及韓國徵收25%關稅，並警告若提出報復性關稅，美國將回敬更高的關稅。此外，他表示將對馬來西亞、哈薩克、南非、寮國及緬甸課徵25%至40%不等的關稅。
此消息引發對全球貿易戰的憂慮，華爾街主要指數創下三週以來最大跌幅。專家指出，25%的高稅率恐怕會衝擊企業及消費者，加劇全球貿易緊張局勢。
Trump’s New Tariff Policy: 25% Tariffs on Japan and South Korea
On July 7, U.S. President Donald Trump said he plans to charge a 25% tariff on Japan and South Korea starting August 1. He warned that if other countries use retaliatory tariffs, the U.S. will respond with even higher tariffs. He also said Malaysia, Kazakhstan, South Africa, Laos, and Myanmar will face tariffs between 25% and 40%.
The news has raised fears of a global trade war, and major Wall Street indexes had their biggest drop in three weeks. Experts say the 25% tariff could hurt businesses and consumers and make global trade tensions worse.
第二則：中國片面啟用W121航路 外交部嚴厲譴責
中國民航局在未與台灣商量下，於7月6日宣布啟用M503航線的W121銜接航路。國台辦表示，此舉可減少航班延誤，對兩岸民眾都有利。然而，M503航路自2015年設立以來，因逼近台北飛航情報區，中方若開通此航線，將壓縮台灣空防預警時間。
外交部對中國的行為表達嚴厲譴責，認為此舉突顯其威權本質，增加台海區域的不安，呼籲國際關注此事。
China Activates W121 Route Without Agreement, Ministry of Foreign Affairs Strongly Criticizes
China’s Civil Aviation Administration announced on July 6 that it would activate the W121 connecting route of the M503 air corridor without consulting Taiwan. The Taiwan Affairs Office said this move could reduce flight delays and benefit people on both sides of the strait. However, since the M503 route was set up in 2015, its closeness to the Taipei Flight Information Region has raised concerns that activating this route would shorten Taiwan’s air defense warning time.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemned China’s actions, calling them authoritarian, and said they increase instability in the Taiwan Strait. The Ministry urged the international community to pay attention to this issue.
第三則：朝野立委力推媒體議價法 盼解決媒體業危機
媒體主要依靠新聞流量賺取廣告分潤，但近年來Google、Meta等跨國數位平台無償轉載媒體新聞內容，獲取巨大收益，引發了剝削爭議。對此，朝野立委近期提出了《媒體議價法》，並於7月8日交由立法院交通委員會審查。
提案強調「新聞有價」及「雇主責任」兩大核心，使新聞業者可向數位平台協商議價，同時倡導應改善工作者待遇，希望能改善媒體環境。
Legislators Push for News Bargaining Draft to Solve Media Industry Issues
Media companies mainly rely on news traffic to earn advertising revenue. However, in recent years, platforms like Google and Meta have been using news content for free, making huge profits and causing concerns about exploitation. To address this, legislators from all parties have proposed the “News Bargaining Draft,” which was sent to the Transportation Committee for review on July 8.
The proposal highlights two key principles: ’news has value’ and ’employer responsibility.’ It aims to let news organizations negotiate with digital platforms and improve working conditions for media workers, with the hope of building a better media environment.
第四則：美國優先政策？台積電熊本二廠動工延後
根據報導，台積電原定於今年第一季動工的熊本二廠計畫，已延後至「2025年內」。台積電董事長魏哲家於6月表示，延後動工是因交通問題。但《華爾街日報》指出，延後原因與川普政權的關稅政策有關，顯示台積電以美國工廠的投資為優先項目。
針對以上報導，台積電則強調美國的投資計畫不會影響其他區域的現有投資，並重申其全球發展策略。
America First Policy? TSMC Delays Second Kumamoto Fab Construction
Reports say TSMC’s Second Kumamoto Semiconductor Fabrication Plant, originally planned to start construction in the first quarter of this year, has been delayed to “sometime in 2025.” TSMC Chairman C.C. Wei said in June the delay was due to transportation issues. However, The Wall Street Journal reported the delay is linked to U.S. tariffs under the Trump administration, showing TSMC is prioritizing investment in its U.S. factories.
TSMC responded that its U.S. investment plans will not affect current investments in other regions and confirmed its global development plan.
第五則：法國首辦「台灣日」園遊會 展現台灣魅力
法國台灣商會於7月5日巴黎勒瓦盧瓦市舉辦首屆「台灣日」園遊會，吸引大量民眾參與。活動包含台灣美食及現場音樂演出等表演，展現台灣多元魅力。
勒瓦盧瓦市長杜瑪表示，去年巴黎奧運期間接待台灣隊，讓她發現台灣的獨特文化。她認為此次活動成功讓更多法國民眾認識台灣，也希望未來能有更多類似活動。
