什么是台湾地位未定论？

高市引述《旧金山和约》是一种炒作？

高市的发言是因为缺乏外交经验？

在中日关系紧张的背景下，日本演艺活动陆续出现突发状况。原定于11月29日开演的日本天后滨崎步（Hamasaki Ayumi）上海演唱会临时被取消。另一位歌手大槻真希（Maki Otsuki）的上海演唱活动到一半，也被当场中止。

这场中日风波的导火索，是日本首相高市早苗11月7日在国会答询时表示，北京若以军舰和武力方式统一台湾，将构成日本的“存亡危机事态”，届时日本可行使集体自卫权。这意味着日本准备军事介入大陆统一台湾的行动。

随后，在美国总统特朗普11月24日与高市通话后，高市早苗又在国会答询时称，根据《旧金山和约》，日本已经放弃了与台湾有关的一切权利和权限，因此无立场去认定台湾的法律地位。她的这番谈话被中国外交部批评为炒作“台湾地位未定论”，是“错上加错”。

高市早苗引用《旧金山和约》真的是在炒作台湾地位未定论？这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红与《联合早报》中国新闻资深高级记者于泽远解析在持续升级的言论交锋下，中日关系是否还有转圜空间。

On November 28, 2025, Japanese singer Maki Otsuki’s performance at a Shanghai anime event was abruptly halted mid-song, becoming one of several cultural disruptions amid escalating tensions between China and Japan. Around the same time, pop icon Ayumi Hamasaki also saw her much-anticipated Shanghai concert cancelled at the last minute, despite full preparations being completed.

These incidents unfolded against the backdrop of controversial remarks by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, who suggested Japan might invoke its right to collective self-defense if China were to use force to unify Taiwan, framing such a scenario as a potential survival-threatening situation for Japan.

Although Takaichi later referred to Japan’s long-standing position under the San Francisco Peace Treaty to clarify Tokyo’s legal stance on Taiwan, Beijing denounced her comments as provocative and destabilising. In the fallout, cultural exchanges have been disrupted, Chinese tourists are reconsidering trips to Japan, and sectors of bilateral trade and tourism are coming under growing strain.

从“台湾有事”到“地位未定”论 日中关系雪上加霜 China-Japan rift: When politics stops the music

泽连斯基会被迫接受特朗普的28点方案吗？

美国很轻松  欧洲能保卫乌克兰吗?

国际地缘政治走向暗黑时代

28点和平计划的意图是“联俄制华”

美国国务卿鲁比奥最近与乌克兰官员在日内瓦会谈。鲁比奥声称，会谈非常高效，但没有提供任何细节。上个星期，媒体流传一份美国提出的俄乌28点和平计划。因此，有媒体评论鲁比奥此行是为了灭火。

这份和平方案的内容明显偏袒俄罗斯，其中包括承认克里米亚、卢甘斯克和顿涅茨克地区为俄罗斯领土、乌克兰须放弃加入北约并将乌克兰军队规模限制在60万人以内。与此同时，俄罗斯将重新融入全球经济，重新加入八国集团，西方国家分阶段解除对俄罗斯的制裁。美国则主导乌克兰重建和投资项目，并获得一半的利润。

28点和平计划几乎是施压乌克兰投降的方案，引起了欧洲哗然。到了周末，德国、法国与英国又提出了另一份和平方案。乌克兰的命运是否会有转机？

这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红与香港城市大学法学院教授、中国法与比较法研究中心主任王江雨详细解析。

社论：美国28点俄乌和平协议的外交现实 

A controversial 28-point US peace proposal for the Russia-Ukraine war has sparked significant debate across Europe and Ukraine. The plan reportedly includes territorial concessions favouring Russian interests by recognising occupied territories and restricting Ukraine's military size and NATO aspirations.

Following intense diplomatic activity, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Ukrainian officials in Geneva amid global scrutiny. European leader, primarily the UK, France, and Germany, countered with their own modified proposal emphasising Ukraine's sovereignty, no restrictions on its armed forces, and the possibility of European Union (EU) membership. 

As diplomatic efforts intensify, questions arise whether these negotiations will genuinely steer towards lasting peace or further complicate Ukraine's future.

In this episode of Global Heartbeat podcast, host Han Yong Hong discusses these geopolitical developments with Professor Wang Jiangyu from the City University of Hong Kong School of Law.

中国启动“禁日令”

高市早苗是否说出了美国不便明说的话？

中日关系会跌入长期低谷

日本新任首相高市早苗本月7日在国会答询时表示，若大陆对台湾动武，“台湾有事”并涉及军舰或伴随武力的使用，则可能构成日本的“存立危机事态”，意味着日本可行使集体自卫权，军事介入台海局势。

高市的言论随即在中国引发强烈反应。中国驻大阪总领事薛剑在社交媒体发文称，对于“擅闯进来的肮脏头颅，应毫不犹豫斩掉”，但随后删除相关贴文。

北京之后采取多项反制行动。国台办、官方媒体与外交部发言人连续发声抗议。解放军在黄海举行实弹演习。此外，北京呼吁中国民众避免赴日旅游、慎重安排赴日留学，并撤销两部日本电影在华上映档期。

北京多次要求高市早苗收回相关言论。她是否会退让？日本盟友美国又将采取何种立场？

这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红与台湾辅仁大学日文系特聘教授兼日本暨东亚研究中心主任何思慎解析这场中日风波接下来将如何发展。

In a rapidly escalating diplomatic dispute, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s recent comments suggesting Japan might intervene militarily if China attacks Taiwan have triggered a strong backlash from Beijing. 

China’s Consul General in Osaka made a provocative statement on social media, which was later removed, and Beijing has since imposed retaliatory measures, including halting Japanese film releases and discouraging travel to Japan. These actions have led to a sharp decline in tourism and a significant drop in Japan’s tourism-linked stocks.

In this episode of Global Heartbeat podcast, host Han Yonghong invites Professor Ho Szu-Shen from the Department of Japanese Language and Culture at Fu Jen Catholic University to share his insights on this latest flare-up in Sino-Japanese relations and the broader implications for Taiwan and regional stability.

高市“台湾有事”持续延烧 中日关系倒退13年 Japan’s escalating row with China over Taiwan

电磁弹射技术有哪些优势？

为何电磁弹射要习近平亲自决策？

中国驻扎更多航母在海南三亚的原因

中国第三艘航空母舰“福建舰”上周三在海南三亚某军港正式入列。中国国家主席兼中央军委主席习近平亲自出席入列仪式，并登上“福建舰”视察，现场按下电磁弹射按钮。

“福建舰”是中国首艘采用电磁弹射系统的航母，也是全球首艘利用电磁弹射技术让第五代战斗机起飞的航母。据报道，利用该系统，约90秒即可弹射一架歼-15T战斗机，一天内的起降架次最高可达300次。电磁弹射系统还可支持较重机型的起飞，例如固定翼预警机。

中国官媒报道指出，“福建舰”采用电磁弹射技术的决策由习近平亲自拍板。这个决定为什么要习近平亲自作出？

“福建舰”入列后，中国航母编队的整体作战能力将进一步提升。外界关注，此举将如何改变中国与美国海军之间的实力对比，以及对台海地区局势带来何种影响。

这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红与《联合早报》中国新闻资深高级记者于泽远解析电磁弹射技术的突破，以及“福建舰”入列对中美海军实力对比所带来的影响。

China's naval capabilities have reached a new milestone in naval modernisation with the commissioning of its third aircraft carrier, the Fujian, which is the first carrier to be designed and built entirely within China. 

The vessel is equipped with the advanced Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS), marking a major technological leap over the traditional steam catapult and ski-jump ramp configurations seen on earlier carriers, enabling more efficient and frequent aircraft launches.

President Xi Jinping personally attended the commissioning ceremony in Hainan province, underscoring the vessel's strategic importance. 

The commissioning of this advanced carrier raises important questions about its impact on the naval power dynamics between China and the US, as well as the broader security landscape surrounding the Taiwan Strait. In this episode of Global Heartbeat, host Han Yong Hong and Lianhe Zaobao’s China News Copy Editor Yu Zeyuan explores these pivotal developments.

习特会为何不提台湾？

郑丽文敢讲自己是中国人

台湾现状还能维系吗？

习近平会在任内解决两岸问题？

备受瞩目的中美元首峰会，上个星期四在韩国釜山举行。美国总统特朗普和中国国家主席习近平谈了100分钟，双方会后也同意在关税和出口管制等问题上达成部分妥协。

不过，备受关注的台湾问题这次并没有出现在会谈中。特朗普在会后对记者说，他和习近平“没谈到台湾”。在此之前，外界担心，中美会在这次元首峰会中完成一次“大交易”，特朗普会表示“反对台独”来换取中国在其他问题上的让步，但这个局面并没有发生。

习特釜山峰会到底有没有谈到台湾？没谈到台湾问题意味着什么？

在台湾，最大在野党中国国民党新当选主席郑丽文过去几天正式就职。她接掌国民党，又会给台湾带来什么？

这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红与淡江大学中国大陆研究所荣誉教授赵春山分析习特会为何不提台湾？

Following last Thursday’s summit in Busan, US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping reached limited agreements on tariffs and export controls after a 100-minute meeting.

Despite widespread speculation, the sensitive topic of Taiwan was not discussed. Pre-summit fears of a US “grand bargain” trading Taiwan interests for Chinese cooperation proved unfounded, providing relief to observers and Taiwan’s government.

Afterwards, Trump told media that China would not take military action against Taiwan while he is president, but offered no details or formal assurances from Xi. 

Meanwhile, Taiwan’s main opposition party, the Kuomintang (KMT), recently welcomed new chairperson Cheng Li-wun, who has pledged to defend democracy, pursue cross-strait peace, and manage rising security challenges.

In this episode of Global Heartbeat, host Han Yong Hong speaks with Chao Chun-shan, honorary professor of diplomacy at Tamkang University, about the summit’s silence on Taiwan and its implications for US-China relations and regional stability.

郑丽文是不是“红统”？What Cheng Li-wun means for cross-strait relations

“再造一个中国高技术产业”是什么意思？

投入再多高科技，中国经济真的能起飞吗？

十五五规划的重点

从明年开始，中国将进入中共建国以来的第十五个五年经济社会规划阶段。中共中央委员会上个星期召开全体会议，除了确定开除多名高干的党籍外，也审议通过了《第十五个五年规划的建议》。

中国国家发改委主任郑栅洁在全会后的记者会上说，未来10年中国产业的新增规模，将相当于再造一个中国高技术产业。

然而，过去几年来，中国政府大力强调发展高科技产业，在新能源汽车、机器人等领域也交出了亮丽成绩，但是民众的经济体感依然不佳。

中国经济发展的道路上依然面对许多困难，新提出的“十五五”规划，为解决这个问题找到答案了吗？

Starting in 2026, China will embark on its 15th five-year economic and social plan, a critical blueprint recently adopted by the Communist Party's Central Committee at its Fourth Plenary Session. This marks another significant milestone in the country's development trajectory since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Emphasising high-quality growth and the establishment of modern industrial clusters, the plan seeks to propel China into a new era of technological innovation. 

Despite the government's successful forays into high-tech sectors such as new energy vehicles and robotics, public sentiment regarding the economy remains cautious. The recent Fourth Plenum focused on reviewing achievements under the current plan and setting priorities for the years ahead. 

In this episode of Global Heartbeat, host Han Yonghong speaks with Shen Meng, Director of Xiangsong Capital, to discuss whether the 15th Five-Year Plan can address China's persistent economic challenges.​

Starting in 2026, China will embark on its 15th five-year economic and social plan, a critical blueprint recently adopted by the Communist Party's Central Committee at its Fourth Plenary Session. This marks another significant milestone in the country's development trajectory since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Emphasising high-quality growth and the establishment of modern industrial clusters, the plan seeks to propel China into a new era of technological innovation.&nbsp;
Despite the government's successful forays into high-tech sectors such as new energy vehicles and robotics, public sentiment regarding the economy remains cautious. The recent Fourth Plenum focused on reviewing achievements under the current plan and setting priorities for the years ahead.&nbsp;
In this episode of Global Heartbeat, host Han Yonghong speaks with Shen Meng, Director of Xiangsong Capital, to discuss whether the 15th Five-Year Plan can address China's persistent economic challenges.​

十五五中国经济：科技破局？China: Why innovation is not boosting the economy

网络神曲《没出息》的由来

王世坚爆红是得到大陆政府默许

台湾会是‘习特会’的交易棋子吗？

台湾民进党籍立法委员王世坚在台北议会质询时的片段，被中国大陆音乐人王搏改编成洗脑神曲。王搏创作的慷慨激昂原版，迅速在两岸网络走红，各地华语音乐人也纷纷接力演绎，衍生出各种版本，包括抒情版、陕西话版和粤语版。

王世坚本人对自己意外在中国大陆爆红感到不可置信。他感叹，网上人才、鬼才什么都有，让他叹为观止。

这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红与《联合早报》中国新闻资深高级记者于泽远探讨这首《没出息》到底有什么魔力？为什么能在全中国大陆的网民中广泛传播？它是否透露了北京反独促统的哪些新思路？

The “Mei Chu Xi” (沒出息, “No Future”) meme went viral in Mainland China after a clip featuring Taiwanese Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) legislator Wang Shih-chien was remixed into a catchy song by mainland Chinese musician Wang Bo. Stemming from a fiery parliamentary exchange in Taipei, the track’s humorous tone and emotional resonance have inspired countless adaptations across dialects and social media platforms. While Wang expressed surprise at his sudden mainland fame, the phenomenon prompts deeper questions: does its popularity merely reflect internet culture, or could it signal subtle political messaging or collective frustration within China?​

In this Global Heartbeat episode, host Han Yonghong and Lianhe Zaobao’s China News Copy Editor Yu Zeyuan examine the reasons behind the song's widespread appeal and discuss whether the trend is a harmless meme or part of broader cross-strait political currents.

高市早苗的背景

高市出现标志日本社会改变男权主义的倾向？

高市会不会是个“短命”首相？

日本与中、韩、美的关系会起变化吗？

日本执政的自由民主党上星期六举行总裁选举，64岁的前经济安保部长高市早苗当选，成为自民党首位女总裁。外界预计，她也将成为日本历史上首位女首相。

高市早苗在当选后表示，为了国家利益，自民党必须“像牛马一样工作”，她本人也将摒弃“工作与生活平衡”这一概念，“工作、工作、再工作”。

从政前，高市早苗曾担任电视节目主持人，并是重金属乐团的鼓手。她长期崇拜英国前首相撒切尔夫人。部分舆论称她为“日本版铁娘子”，但也有批评者认为她是“日本版特朗普”或“女版安倍”。

高市早苗政治立场鲜明，主张大力打击外国人非法居留，限制外国人购买日本土地，并推动修宪，让日本能够正式拥有国家军队。她延续已故前首相安倍晋三的外交立场，强调“台湾有事就是日本有事”。

她也曾公开表示，日本民众对中国“感到愤怒”，自己“也一样”，认为日本人“已经受够了”。因此，高市早苗被视为日本极右翼政治势力的代表人物。

这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红与东京大学综合文化研究科教授川岛真解析高市的当选，会给东北亚局势带来什么冲击？摆在她面前的，又有哪些重大挑战？

In a landmark moment for Japanese politics, the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) has elected Sanae Takaichi as its first female leader, positioning her to become Japan’s first female prime minister. The 64‑year‑old former Minister for Internal Affairs and Communications is a staunch conservative, noted for her nationalist views and uncompromising work ethic. 

Takaichi, formerly a television host and heavy‑metal drummer, has cultivated a distinctive public persona. Her policy platform calls for stricter immigration controls, tighter restrictions on foreign land purchases, and constitutional amendments to formalise a national military. Closely aligned with the security positions of the late Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, she is especially vocal on Taiwan‑China tensions and is often referred to as Japan’s “Iron Lady” for her admiration of Margaret Thatcher.

In this episode of the Global Heartbeat podcast, host Han Yonghong and Dr. Shin Kawashima, Professor of International Relations at the University of Tokyo, examine Takaichi’s ascent, Japan’s rightward political shift, and the potential regional consequences.

专项整治可能适得其反？

躺平的背后是因为社会不公平？

张雪峰被禁言是活该吗？

清朗行动，下一步怎么走？

大名鼎鼎的中国教育网红张雪峰被封杀了。

张雪峰专门提供考研辅导以及高考填报志愿指导，以“寒门指路人”的形象收获了大量粉丝。但他也因为言辞激烈而不时引发争议。

在今年北京的九三阅兵后不久，张雪峰在直播中放言，只要北京武力攻打台湾，他最起码会捐款1亿元人民币；枪声打响的那一天，他就至少会捐5000万元人民币。

然而，这次他可真是踢到铁板了。中国网信办不久后宣布，开展为期两个月的“清朗·整治恶意挑动负面情绪问题”专项行动。张雪峰以及大量网络账号，比如主张颓废生活的躺平博主“十年网吧大神”、“刘二狗”、“小A在上网”等等，都成了专项行动的整治对象。

根据官方通报，挑动群体极端对立情绪、宣扬恐慌焦虑情绪、挑起网络暴力戾气、过度渲染消极悲观情绪等内容，都在整治范围之内。中国官方自2016年以来就陆续开展“清朗”专项行动，目标是净化网络空间。

这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红与旅居台湾的时事评论人徐全解析这一轮又一轮的“清朗”行动，反映了什么问题？今年官方要用专项行动来整治社会情绪，它最终又会达到什么效果？

中国多名“躺平”博主被封 整治颓废内容再升级

In a dramatic development, Zhang Xuefeng, one of China’s most prominent education influencers, has been removed from major platforms as part of a government crackdown on online negativity. Renowned for his advice on postgraduate entrance exams and college application counselling, Zhang built a huge following, particularly among students from disadvantaged backgrounds. His outspoken commentary often sparked controversy, and a recent livestream pledge to donate millions if Beijing resorts to force against Taiwan brought heightened scrutiny.

Within days, the Cyberspace Administration of China launched a special “Qinglang” (“Clear and Bright”) campaign, aimed at purging content that incites negative emotions and societal anxiety. Influencers and online personalities now face investigation and removal for allegedly promoting pessimism, antagonism, or social unrest. This ongoing campaign, active since 2016, reflects Beijing’s persistent drive to reshape digital discourse and maintain a positive online atmosphere.

In this episode of the Global Heartbeat podcast, host Han Yonghong and Taiwan-based commentator Xu Quan unpack the social and political implications of China’s latest round of internet censorship and emotion management.

是协议还是缓兵之计？

一个让双方都有所得的协议？

中国有哪些考量？

无可奈何的情况下，字节跳动出卖TikTok？

延宕了五年多的TikTok在美国运营的争议终于接近有了结果。

上周五，美国总统特朗普和中国国家主席习近平进行了通话，双方就TikTok出售其在美国的业务达成了框架协议。白宫发言人莱维特（Karoline Leavitt）在周六接受媒体采访时表示，TikTok将主要由美国人拥有，七名董事会成员中将有六名是美国人，TikTok的算法也将由美国人掌握。

中国企业字节跳动旗下的短视频平台TikTok在美国拥有庞大的用户群，使用人数以亿计。自 2020 年左右开始，美国政府开始担忧TikTok会收集大量美国用户数据，影响美国青少年思想，对国家安全构成威胁。从特朗普第一任政府到拜登政府，再到如今的第二任特朗普政府，美国始终要求字节跳动剥离TikTok美国业务。

中国则谴责美国对TikTok的限制是“强盗逻辑”，是“明火执仗的抢劫”。

而今，中美就TikTok出售问题达成了框架协议。出售TikTok如何从“抢劫”变成双赢？

这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红与新加坡优势研究咨询公司创始人兼CEO张帆一起分析中美达成协议的这个时间点，背后有什么玄机？

分析：中国或授权解决TikTok算法争议

The long-running dispute over TikTok's operations in the United States appears close to a breakthrough, as the US and China recently announced progress on a proposed framework agreement following a phone call between President Donald Trump and President Xi Jinping. Under the current terms, TikTok's US operations would be majority-owned by American investors, with six of the seven board seats held by Americans, ensuring U.S. control over the platform’s algorithm and data governance. ByteDance, TikTok’s Chinese parent company, would retain one board seat and a minority stake, in alignment with provisions of the 2024 US law requiring divestment of foreign control.

Though both Trump and Xi have endorsed the deal’s framework, official confirmation and implementation are still pending. In this episode of the Global Heartbeat podcast, host Han Yonghong and guest Tim Zhang, Founder & CEO of Edge Research Consulting, explore the significance of this proposed deal. They discuss the timing, underlying political motivations, and the broader geopolitical implications for US-China relations, examining whether this development signals a move toward greater cooperation or sets the stage for renewed conflict.
