第一則：美撤銷台積電南京廠授權 半導體供應鏈受衝擊
美國政府宣布將於 12 月 31 日撤銷台積電南京廠的「驗證後最終用途（VEU）」授權，未來為中國廠區供貨的供應商須逐案申請出口管制許可。南京廠主要生產車用晶片與特殊製程產品，雖然獲利占比不高，但仍是重要的獲利來源。
此舉將影響南京廠的成熟製程產能；至於松江廠，則不受此次豁免到期影響。台積電去年在中國廠區獲利約 260 億元，占比雖低但具關鍵性。分析指出，美國收緊出口管制旨在遏制中國 AI 能量，對全球供應鏈將造成深遠衝擊。
U.S. Revokes TSMC Nanjing Plant License, Semiconductor Supply Chain Feels Impact
The U.S. government announced it will revoke the “Validated End-User (VEU)” license for TSMC’s Nanjing plant on December 31, requiring suppliers in China to obtain export control permits. The plant mainly produces automotive chips and specialty process products; while its profit share is small, it remains an important source of revenue.
The move will affect the Nanjing plant’s mature process capacity, while the Songjiang facility will not be impacted by the expiration of this exemption. TSMC’s operations in China generated about NT$26 billion in profit last year, a small share but of critical importance. Analysts noted that the tightened U.S. export controls aim to curb China’s AI capabilities and could have a profound impact on the global supply chain.
第二則：中國油氣鑽探挑戰台灣主權 灰色地帶戰略再現
根據報導指出，中國在台灣專屬經濟區內展開石油與天然氣鑽探，台灣政府未有明確回應，恐削弱主權並助長灰色地帶戰略。此外，台灣非《聯合國海洋法公約》締約方，因此缺乏法律明確性及足夠海上力量應對。
專家認為，中國透過商業活動擴張影響力，符合灰色地帶戰略模式。台灣專屬經濟區內油氣設施規模龐大，部分已存在至少五年，監控不足引發關注。
China’s Oil and Gas Drilling Challenges Taiwan’s Sovereignty, Gray-Zone Tactics Resurface
According to reports, China has begun oil and gas drilling within Taiwan’s exclusive economic zone, and the Taiwanese government has not issued a clear response, raising concerns that this could undermine sovereignty and encourage gray-zone tactics. In addition, Taiwan is not a signatory to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, leading to a lack of legal clarity and sufficient maritime power to respond.
Experts believe China is expanding its influence through commercial activities, in line with its gray-zone strategy. Taiwan’s exclusive economic zone contains large-scale oil and gas facilities, some in place for at least five years, and the lack of monitoring has drawn attention.
第三則：黃國昌活動爆衝突 八警受傷成被告
民眾黨主席黃國昌於8月30日舉辦「司法改革、公民走讀」活動，因未申請路權與警方發生衝突，造成8名警員受傷。他被列為違反集會遊行法及妨害公務的被告。
網路流傳影片顯示黃國昌疑似勒住員警脖子，引發爭議。他表示不畏懼司法追訴，喊話「放馬過來」，且未向受傷警員道歉。北檢已分案偵辦並傳喚3人說明。
Huang Kuo-chang’s Event Turns Violent: 8 Officers Injured, Charges Filed
On August 30, TTP’s Chairman Huang Kuo-chang held a “Judicial Reform Civic Walk” event, which led to clashes with police due to a lack of permit, injuring eight officers. He has been charged with violating the Assembly and Parade Act and obstructing official duties.
A circulating video shows Huang allegedly choking a police officer, sparking controversy. He declared he is unafraid of prosecution and said, “Bring it on,” and has not apologized to the injured officers. The Taipei District Prosecutors Office has opened a separate investigation and summoned three individuals for questioning.
第四則：以人為本！幸福感成企業新戰略
政大副校長蔡維奇於 HBR 管理年會中指出，全球 CEO 正面臨人才招募與留任的重大挑戰，而新世代員工則更重視工作與生活的平衡。
企業若要提升競爭力，需推動以「幸福感」為核心的人才戰略。這包括支持員工的全人發展，建立信任與心理安全感，以及提供有意義的工作。唯有如此，才能兼顧績效表現與社會責任，真正實現以人為本的經營模式。
People-centered! Happiness becomes a new corporate strategy
At the HBR Management Annual Conference, National Chengchi University Vice President Tsai Wei-Qi noted that global CEOs are facing big challenges in recruiting and keeping talent, while the new generation of employees places greater emphasis on work-life balance.
To enhance competitiveness, enterprises must advance a talent strategy centered on “happiness.” This includes supporting employees’ holistic development, fostering trust and psychological safety, and providing meaningful work. Only through such measures can organizations balance performance outcomes with social responsibility, thereby truly realizing a people-centered business model.
第五則：養毛孩成解方！緩解焦慮助放鬆
快節奏社會下，焦慮、失眠與情緒低落日益普遍，特別是上班族與中壯年照顧者。根據統計，台灣每五人就有一人曾受心理壓力困擾，許多人因長期處於腦過勞的狀態難以放鬆。
研究顯示，與寵物互動能促進多巴胺與催產素分泌，改善情緒與睡眠。醫師也建議飼主可透過遛狗與專業照護服務，減輕壓力並重拾生活秩序。
Pets Offer Relief! Easing Anxiety and Promoting Relaxation
In our fast-paced society, anxiety, insomnia, and low moods are increasingly common, especially among office workers and middle-aged caregivers. Statistics show that one in five people in Taiwan has experienced mental stress, and many are unable to relax due to living in a state of brain fatigue.
Research indicates that interacting with pets promotes the release of dopamine and oxytocin, improving mood and sleep quality. Doctors also advise pet owners to reduce stress and restore daily routines through activities such as walking the dog and professional pet care services.
Let’s wrap up today’s episode. We’ve learned about some important events happening around the world.
The U.S. will revoke TSMC’s Nanjing license to curb China’s AI growth, impacting mature chip production and highlighting risks to the global semiconductor supply chain.
China’s oil and gas drilling in Taiwan’s exclusive economic zone has sparked sovereignty concerns, highlighting gray-zone tactics and Taiwan’s limited legal and maritime response.
