民進黨立委沈伯洋近日遭中國威脅進行全球抓捕，但他表示不會因此退縮，並以預錄方式出席德國國會聽證會作證，強調捍衛言論自由。
總統賴清德呼籲立法院長韓國瑜應公開聲援沈伯洋，韓國瑜則在表態會保障立委權益後，反要求賴總統先廢除台獨黨綱，並撤回將中國視為境外敵對勢力的相關說法，引發朝野間的政治攻防與論戰。
Shen Boyang Speaks at German Parliament, Lai Calls for Unified Political Support
DPP legislator Shen Boyang was recently threatened by China with a global arrest, but he said he would not back down. He joined a German parliamentary hearing through a pre-recorded video, where he stressed his commitment to defending freedom of speech.
President Lai Ching-te called on Legislative Yuan President Han Kuo-yu to publicly show support for Shen Boyang. After saying he would protect the rights of legislators, Han responded by asking President Lai to first remove the party’s pro-independence platform and withdraw statements that describe China as a “hostile foreign force.” This led to political disputes and debates between the parties.
第二則：蘇澳暴雨釀三千戶淹水！分洪道工程延宕挨批
宜蘭蘇澳鎮近日受到共伴暴雨影響，全鎮超過 3,200 戶房屋嚴重淹水，災情被形容為 15 年前梅姬颱風的重演。居民指出，主因是蘇澳溪分洪道工程遲未動工。
該工程原本訂於明年完工，但因工程變更、物價上升及土地徵收等因素，總經費增至 75 億元。行政院長卓榮泰表示，中央將加速核定新增的 20 多億元，並將此案納入明年縣市管河川改善計畫，加速發包施工，避免淹水再度發生。
Severe Rain Floods 3,000 Homes in Suao! Flood-Diversion Delay Draws Criticism
Suao Township in Yilan County was recently hit by heavy rain from a companion weather system, causing severe flooding in more than 3,200 households. The disaster was compared to the flooding caused by Typhoon Megi 15 years ago. Residents said the main reason was the delay in starting the Suao River flood-diversion project.
The project was originally scheduled to be completed next year, but its total budget has increased to NT$7.5 billion due to engineering changes, rising costs, and land acquisition. Premier Cho Jung-tai said the central government will fast-track the approval of the additional NT$2 billion and include the project in next year’s river improvement plan, so the construction can move forward and prevent future flooding.
第三則：G7 指出中國軍擴風險 重申台海和平關鍵
七大工業國集團外長於11月12日在加拿大尼加拉地區舉行會議，聲明強調維持台海和平與穩定至關重要，反對任何以武力或脅迫方式片面改變現狀，並鼓勵以建設性對話處理兩岸相關議題。
G7 支持台灣有意義地參與適當的國際組織，同時針對中國軍事擴張與核武庫快速增加，聲明表達關切，呼籲北京展現維護區域穩定的態度。G7 亦重申對烏克蘭的堅定支持，並強調推動立即停火的必要性。
G7 Warns of China’s Military Buildup, Reaffirms the Need for Taiwan Strait Peace
The foreign ministers of the Group of Seven met in Niagara, Canada, on November 12. In their statement, they said that keeping peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait is very important. They opposed any attempt to change the status quo by using force or pressure, and encouraged constructive dialogue to handle cross-strait issues.
The G7 said it supports Taiwan’s meaningful participation in suitable international organizations. The statement also raised concerns about China’s military expansion and the rapid increase of its nuclear arsenal, calling on Beijing to show its commitment to keeping the region stable. The G7 also restated its strong support for Ukraine and stressed the need to push for an immediate ceasefire.
第四則：數位轉型最大盲點曝光！74% 消費者更信任品牌域名
台灣近九成中小企業投入數位轉型，但多數業者忽略擁有專屬域名的重要性。報告指出，有 74% 消費者更信任與品牌名稱一致的域名，.tw 與 .台灣域名因受台灣法律保障，違法與詐騙比例僅 0.07%。
台灣網路資訊中心表示，企業若僅依賴社群平台，將失去流量與顧客資料主導權，而擁有專屬域名能以低成本建立可信的官方落點，掌握未來數位優勢。
Digital Shift’s Biggest Blind Spot! 74% of Consumers Trust Brand-Matched Domains
Nearly 90% of small and medium-sized enterprises in Taiwan have taken steps toward digital transformation, but many still overlook the importance of having their own domain name. A report shows that 74% of consumers are more likely to trust a domain name that matches the brand name. Because .tw and .taiwan domains are protected under Taiwanese law, the rate of illegal use or fraud is only 0.07%.
The Taiwan Network Information Center says that businesses relying only on social media platforms may lose control of their website traffic and customer data. Having a dedicated domain name helps companies build a trustworthy official site at a low cost and gives them an advantage in future digital development.
第五則：AI帶動全球人才洗牌 初階工程師面臨危機
美國軟體產業正面臨 AI 浪潮衝擊，初階軟體工程師需求大幅下滑，不少名校電腦系畢業生投遞數百份履歷仍難獲面試，因 AI 能快速生成程式碼，企業更傾向改用 AI 工具或外包以降低成本。
相較之下，台灣的 AI 應用仍不成熟，主要挑戰在於人才外流與技術斷層，專業能力者選擇赴海外發展，回流比例低。專家指出，台灣未來需加速培育具備 AI 應用能力的跨領域人才，協助企業導入轉型。
AI Reshapes the Job Market, Junior Engineers Face a Crisis
The U.S. software industry is being strongly affected by the rise of AI, leading to a sharp drop in demand for entry-level software engineers. Many computer science graduates from top universities are sending out hundreds of applications but still find it hard to get interviews. As AI can quickly generate code, companies are choosing AI tools or outsourcing to reduce their costs.
In contrast, AI development in Taiwan is still not mature, and the main challenges are talent moving overseas and a widening skills gap. Many professionals with strong expertise choose to build their careers abroad, and few return. Experts say Taiwan needs to speed up the training of cross-disciplinary talent who can use AI, so they can help companies adopt these tools and support their transformation.
Let’s wrap up today’s episode. We’ve learned about some important events happening around the world.
Shen Boyang’s situation set off a political debate between Lai and Han, centered on party platforms and how to address China-related issues.
After major flooding, the government plans to speed up funding and approval for the long-delayed flood-diversion project.
The G7 highlighted the importance of regional stability by stressing peace in the Taiwan Strait, expressing concerns about China’s military actions, and reaffirming support for Ukraine.
With many Small and Medium-sized Enterprises going digital, having a brand-matching domain is now a key advantage for earning trust and managing customer data.
The rise of AI is reducing demand for entry-level software engineers in the U.S., while Taiwan faces its own challenges due to limited AI development and ongoing talent outflow.
In the next episode, we will together explore the recent hot news with you in the morning. Don’t forget to come back. Have a nice day and hear me next time. Bye.
