The National Diet of Japan held a prime minister election on October 21. Liberal Democratic Party leader Sanae Takaichi was elected as Japan’s 104th prime minister, becoming the country’s first female leader in history. The 63-year-old Takaichi has more than 30 years of political experience and was long mentored by former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. She supports constitutional reform, strengthening the Self-Defense Forces, and promoting the “Free and Open Indo-Pacific” strategy.

第二則：輝達放棄北士科T17、T18 傳改選北投新址
輝達原計畫進駐北士科T17、T18設立總部，但因台北市政府與新光人壽未達共識而卡關。北市副市長李四川表示，市府已提供多處備案，包括T12、松南營區與未曝光土地。
根據《壹蘋新聞網》報導，輝達已看過位於北投的「祕密基地」，該地為市有土地、面積更完整、成本較低，因此輝達傾向放棄T17、T18，轉向北投新址。
NVIDIA Gives Up Beitou Shilin Technology Park T17, T18 Sites, Report Says It May Move to Beitou
NVIDIA originally planned to build its headquarters at the T17 and T18 sites in Taipei’s Beitou Shilin Technology Park. However, the project was blocked because the Taipei City Government and Shin Kong Life Insurance could not reach an agreement. Deputy Mayor Lee Shu-Chuan said the city has offered several alternative sites, including T12, the Songnan area, and some undisclosed locations.
According to Nextapple News, NVIDIA has visited a “secret base” in Beitou. The land is owned by the city, has a more complete area, and costs less. Therefore, NVIDIA is leaning toward giving up the T17 and T18 sites and moving to the new Beitou location.
第三則：美擬推全球指引 台灣可望納入國防合作體系
第24屆美台國防工業會議於10月21日落幕。美台商業協會會長韓儒伯表示，美國政府計畫推出新的全球指引，加速軍售審議並開放技術合作，預計將台灣納入其中。
此舉有助於強化美台共同研發與軍售交付效率，使台灣在國防合作上與日本、澳洲、英國等國並列。韓儒伯指出，美國對台安全協助政策延續不變，仍聚焦提升台灣的防衛與非對稱戰力。
U.S. Plans Global Defense Guideline, Taiwan Expected to Join Cooperation Framework
The 24th U.S.–Taiwan Defense Industry Conference ended on October 21. Rupert Hammond-Chambers, president of the U.S.–Taiwan Business Council, said the U.S. government plans to introduce a new global guideline to speed up arms sales reviews and open technology cooperation, with Taiwan expected to be included.
This move will strengthen the U.S.–Taiwan joint research and improve arms delivery efficiency, placing Taiwan on the same level as Japan, Australia, and the United Kingdom in defense cooperation. Hammond-Chambers said U.S. security assistance to Taiwan remains unchanged, focusing on strengthening Taiwan’s defense and asymmetric capabilities.
第四則：Lululemon創辦人開炮 痛批品牌失去靈魂
Lululemon創辦人奇普・威爾遜在《華爾街日報》刊登付費廣告，痛批公司策略讓品牌「失去靈魂」。他指控董事會導致品牌「GAP化」，創新與文化遭摧毀，並點名兩項「災難決策」，耗資5億美元收購健身公司與迪士尼聯名，重創品牌市值。
威爾遜表示，現任管理層為取悅華爾街，犧牲顧客體驗，並考慮推動董事會改組。公司則反擊稱，威爾遜已離開近10年，其言論不準確且具誤導性。
Lululemon Founder Blasts Company, Says It Has Lost Its Soul
Lululemon founder Chip Wilson placed a paid ad in The Wall Street Journal, criticizing the company’s strategy and saying it has “lost its soul.” He accused the board of turning the brand into another GAP, destroying its innovation and culture. Wilson also pointed out two “disastrous decisions” — spending 500 million dollars to acquire a fitness company and collaborating with Disney, which he said hurt the brand’s market value.
He claimed the current management sacrifices customer experience to please The Wall Street Journal and said he may push for a board overhaul. The company responded that Wilson left nearly ten years ago and that his comments are inaccurate and misleading.
第五則：英國擬禁16歲以下喝能量飲 醫師提醒恐「越喝越累」
英國政府正研擬立法，禁止販售能量飲給16歲以下青少年，理由是高糖與高咖啡因恐影響健康與學習。兒童內分泌科醫師王律婷指出，能量飲雖能短暫提神，但其實是「預支體力」，效果退去後反而更疲倦。
她提醒，青少年每日咖啡因攝取量不宜超過100毫克，過量恐導致焦慮、心悸與睡眠障礙。台灣目前仍以標示與宣導為主，尚未設下年齡限制。
U.K. Plans to Ban Energy Drinks for Under-16s, Doctor Warns They May “Make You Even More Tired”
The U.K. government is planning to ban the sale of energy drinks to people under 16, saying that high sugar and caffeine levels may harm teenagers’ health and learning. Pediatric endocrinologist Dr. Wang Lu-Ting said energy drinks can boost alertness for a short time, but they actually “borrow energy from the body,” making people feel even more tired afterward.
She reminded that teenagers should not consume more than 100 milligrams of caffeine per day, as excessive intake may cause anxiety, heart palpitations, and sleep problems. In Taiwan, regulations still focus on labeling and public education, without setting an age limit.
