第一則：歐盟擬禁華為中興設備 加強5G安全防護
歐盟執行委員會據傳計畫禁止成員國在行動網路中使用華為與中興通訊設備。知情人士指出，副主席維爾庫南將把2020年「排除高風險供應商」的建議，轉為具法律效力的命令。
此舉反映歐盟對中國電信設備安全風險的擔憂。儘管英國與瑞典早已禁用，但西班牙與希臘仍開放使用。分析認為，若各國政策步調不一，恐削弱歐洲關鍵基礎設施的整體安全。
EU Plans to Ban Huawei and ZTE to Strengthen 5G Security
The European Commission is reportedly planning to ban member states from using Huawei and ZTE equipment in their mobile networks. Sources say Vice President Henna Virkkunen will turn the 2020 proposal to exclude “high-risk suppliers” into a legally binding rule.
The move reflects the EU’s growing concern over the security risks of Chinese telecom equipment. Although the UK and Sweden have already banned such products, Spain and Greece still allow them. Analysts warn that if member states act at different speeds, it could weaken the overall security of Europe’s key infrastructure.

他指出，環太軍演能展現聯盟力量並強化合作。國防授權法案除「強烈建議」邀台參與外，也提及推動台美共同生產武器，以提升雙方防衛及軍事產能。
U.S. Legislator Backs Taiwan’s Participation in RIMPAC, Sends Strong Message to China

第三則：蔡英文柏林談民主 呼籲全球合作抗威權

蔡英文強調，台灣已透過國防、科技與社會韌性強化防禦，國防預算自2016年至去年成長逾八成，並呼籲民主國家攜手合作，共同守護自由體系。
Tsai Ing-Wen Calls for Global Unity to Defend Democracy in Berlin
Former President Tsai Ing-Wen attended the “Berlin Freedom Conference” in Germany on November 10 and delivered a speech titled “The Threats to Democracy, Taiwan’s Experience in Defending Freedom.” She pointed out that both Europe and Asia face similar authoritarian infiltration tactics, such as spreading disinformation and manipulating public opinion.
Tsai emphasized that Taiwan has strengthened its defense through national security, technology, and social resilience. She noted that Taiwan’s defense budget has grown by more than 80% from 2016 to last year and urged democratic nations to work together to protect the global system of freedom.
第四則：寧願少賺也要遠端 科技業員工掀在家工作潮
根據多所知名大學最新研究指出，科技業員工平均願意放棄高達25%的薪資，只為了獲得部分或全程遠端辦公的工作。專家分析，對高薪且重視生活平衡的科技人才而言，彈性與自由的價值不亞於薪水。
研究也發現，實際上遠端職缺的薪資甚至略高1.1%，顯示企業正以遠端辦公作為吸引與留住人才的重要福利。
