📰 North Korea: Kim Jong-un asks officials to tackle food shortage
🀄北韓：金正恩要求官員解決糧食短缺問題

North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un called on his officials to deal with(處理) food supply issues and highlighted(強調) the danger of climate change. Typhoons last year badly impacted vital(重要的) crops, while weeks of drought(乾旱) followed by heavy monsoon(雨季) rains have damaged them this year as well.

📌 朝鮮領導人金正恩呼籲他的官員處理糧食供應問題，並強調氣候變化的危險。去年的颱風嚴重影響了重要的農作物，而數週的干旱以及隨後的季風暴雨今年也對農作物造成了破壞。

He said measures to overcome "abnormal(異常的) climate" were needed, and asked also officials to tackle(對付) drought and floods. His comments came in a speech to the ruling party's Politburo(政治局) on Thursday.

📌 他說需要採取措施克服“異常氣候”，並要求官員應對乾旱和洪水。他的評論是在周四向執政黨政治局發表的講話中發表的。

Mr. Kim had said that the "danger" of climate change had become "higher in recent years adding that "urgent action" needed to be taken.

📌 金正恩曾表示，近年來氣候變化的“危險”變得“更高”，並補充說需要採取“緊急行動”。

Mr Kim also called for improvements to the country's flood management infrastructure(基礎建設) saying: "River improvement, afforestation(造林) for erosion(侵蝕) control, dyke(堤壩) maintenance and tide embankment(堤防) projects", should be prioritized(優先處理).

📌 金正恩還要求改善北韓的洪水管理基礎設施，他說：“河流改善、植樹造林以控制侵蝕、堤壩維護和潮汐堤防項目”應優先考慮。

Apart from the damage(破壞) caused by natural disasters(災害), North Korea's economy has been hit hard by international sanctions(制裁), as well as border closures and harsh lockdowns to prevent the spread of Covid.

📌 除了自然災害造成的破壞外，朝鮮的經濟還受到國際制裁、邊境關閉和嚴厲封鎖以防止新冠病毒傳播的沉重打擊。

Although North Korea has not reported any Covid cases, it has sealed its borders and imposed lockdowns.
The border closures have affected vital imports from China. "Tightening epidemic(流行病) prevention is the task of paramount(最重要的) importance which must not be loosened even a moment under the present situation," said Mr Kim, according to state media.

📌 儘管朝鮮沒有報告任何新冠肺炎病例，但它已經封鎖了邊界並實施了封鎖。邊境關閉影響了來自中國的重要進口。據官方媒體報導，金正恩說：“加強防疫是頭等大事，在當前形勢下，一刻也不能放鬆。”

Earlier this week, the UN said North Korea had rejected an offer of almost three million Covid-19 jabs(注射). A spokesperson said the country had asked that the shots be relocated(轉移) to harder hit nations in view of global vaccine shortages.

📌 本週早些時候，聯合國表示，朝鮮拒絕了近 300 萬次 Covid-19注射的捐贈。 一位發言人表示，鑑於全球疫苗短缺，該國已要求將疫苗轉移到受災更嚴重的國家。

📍以下為其中一些段落，跟大家分享：

Some people describe that the old ROC government was reborn and re-invented in Taiwan, and our current government is a fusion of the ROC and institutions from Taiwan’s Japanese colonial era.

有些人形容，過去的中華民國政府在台灣重生，並且被「重新發明」，而我們現在的政府是一種融合體，結合了中華民國體制與台灣日本殖民時期的機構。
　
So in conclusion, Taiwan is an independent nation which carries the legacy of republican China. I would say that Taiwan is somewhere in the middle between a regional independence movement (Scotland; Catalonia) and a two-state rivalry (North & South Korea; East & West Germany).
　
總而言之，台灣是一個主權獨立的國家，這個獨立的國家乘載了「中國大陸民國時期」所遺留的歷史遺產［legacy］。我會說，台灣的處境介於區域獨立運動（蘇格蘭、加泰隆尼亞）和冷戰兩國對抗（南北韓、東西德）這兩種模式之間的中間地帶。
　
Secretary Pompeo recently said that Taiwan shows the world what a “free China” could achieve. In a way that’s true, Taiwan carries the legacy of a Free China. Taiwan might carry the hopes of many in the global Chinese-speaking community. But Taiwan is not just a free version of China, since Taiwan also has its own trajectory and uniqueness, including our Japanese colonial history. This duality (of the ROC and Taiwan) is the key to understanding Taiwan.
　
美國國務卿龐培歐最近說，台灣顯示了一個「自由的中國」所能達成的成就。某種程度來說這是事實，台灣確實乘載了「自由中國」的歷史遺產。台灣或許乘載了全球華語世界許多人的期盼。但另一方面，台灣不僅僅是一個「自由版本的中國」，因為台灣擁有自己的軌跡與獨特性，包括日本殖民史。這種二元性（中華民國以及台灣）的並存，就是理解台灣的關鍵。
　
：：
　
I view Matsu as an important border area that is very close to China, and a place where many important issues need to be addressed, including the environment, disease control, maritime resources and security. I think it would be a mistake for any political party to neglect this region, which was why I decided to run for office here in Matsu, and launch a county chapter here.
　
我認為馬祖是一個重要的國家邊境地區，由於非常靠近中國，這裡有許多重要的議題需要處理，包括自然環境、疾病管控、海洋資源以及國家安全等。我認為任何政黨如果忽略這個地區，都是一個錯誤，這也就是為什麼我要在這裡選舉，並且建立一個地方黨部。
　
I think the rise in votes for President Tsai and the DPP in Matsu is symbolic, as the DPP is the party that supports Taiwan’s sovereignty and democracy, and our party tends to be more cautious of interactions with the Communist Party.
　
我認為蔡總統和民進黨在馬祖的選票增加，非常具有象徵意義。因為民進黨是支持台灣主權和民主的政黨，而我們的政黨對於跟共產黨互動，採取比較謹慎的態度。
　
By building a party chapter here, it symbolizes the DPP’s effort to reach out beyond our traditional voter base. Some people often assume that since the outlying islands are culturally and historically connected with Fujian Province, then the voters here will not be critical towards the communist party. But what we are seeing in the younger generation here is that, people can be simultaneously proud of their Fujian heritage, AND stand adamantly against authoritarianism.
　
當我們在這裡建立一個地方黨部，象徵民進黨努力爭取傳統支持者之外的選民。有些人會先入為主，認為離島地區因為文化和歷史上，跟福建省的連結很緊密，代表選民不會對共產黨有所批判。但是我們在這裡的年輕世代可以看見，許多人對福建（閩東）文化傳承感到驕傲，但【同時】堅定反對威權主義。
　
The Communist Party tries to tell the world that, if a person identifies with Chinese culture, then they must support the Communist Party. That’s the traditional logic, but that’s a logic that merits criticism. They’re trying to link the two together. What we are trying to do is to break that link. We see a growing number of people that identify with Chinese culture, AND simultaneously stand against China annexing Taiwan.
　
共產黨想要告訴世界，如果一個人認同中華文化，就必須支持共產黨。那是傳統的邏輯，但這個邏輯值得批判。他們想要把兩者連結在一起。而我們正在嘗試做的，就是要打破這個連結。我們看到有越來越多選民，既認同中華文化，也【同時】堅定反對中國併吞台灣。
　
I think this speaks to a wider audience in the Chinese-speaking world on a global scale. The traditional argument to support Taiwan’s sovereignty would be to emphasize Taiwan’s cultural differences with China. Here in Matsu or Kinmen, we can develop an argument that supports Taiwan’s sovereignty that is not based on cultural identity, but rather on common values between Taiwan and Kinmen or Matsu, and anti-communism. This builds a coalition between traditional supporters of Taiwanese independence, and people in the pan-Chinese world that are pro-democratic and anti-communist. This actually includes many people in the main island Taiwan and the outlying islands, as well as overseas ethnic Chinese.
　
我覺得這也對全球華語世界更多人，傳達了訊息。傳統上維護台灣主權的論點，是強調台灣和中國之間的文化差異。但是在金門或馬祖，我們可以發展一套支持台灣主權的論點，並非基於文化認同，而是基於台灣與金馬之間的共同價值，以及反共的理念。這樣便能建立一個聯盟，結合台灣傳統的本土派持持者，以及泛華語世界中「挺民主、反共產」的民眾。這其實涵蓋了台灣本島許多人，還有離島民眾，更包括許多海外華人。
　
You will also notice President Tsai places an emphasis on maintaining sovereignty & democracy, regardless of support for an ROC identity or a separate Taiwan identity. So the DPP itself is also reaching out. That’s the dualism of ROC and Taiwan identity.
　
你可能也會注意到，蔡英文強調希望大家共同支持維護國家主權和民主，不論是支持中華民國認同或是台灣認同。所以民進黨本身也在尋求更多人的支持。這就是中華民國和台灣認同的二元性。

#Opinion by Poon Siu-to 潘小濤｜"Such a trick to take over private properties as communal assets has been staged time and again since the Chinese Communist Party founded a government, which is where the dread of this polity lies. From forced donation in the name of “resisting US, helping North Korea” in the 50s to establishing the socialist joint state-private ownership to confiscation of all private properties in the name of revolution to the state in need of financial support or in apprehension for the threat posed by the thriving private enterprises nowadays, numerous private enterprises have been and will be doomed to a purge."

"五十年代初以抗美援朝之名強捐，然後建設社會主義的公私合營，再之後以革命之名充公所有私產，到今天，無論因為國家需要財政支持，還是擔心民企坐大威脅政權，很多私企應難逃被清洗命運。"

Video Title: The Mysterious Chinese Art Heists Across Europe

"Stockholm, Sweden. 2010. Passersby on the streets of the capital were confused and scared. Several cars in and around the vicinity had lit up in flames, and no one had any idea why. Police soon arrived on scene but they too were baffled with what they saw. Now, several kilometers to the west, on the outskirts of the city, a small group of masked men made their way across the grounds of the Drottningholm Palace (the private residence of the Swedish Royal Family, as well as a UNESCO World Heritage Site). Their target was the royal pavilion situated in the southern part of the complex, which displayed countless works of historic art. Once there, the men forced their way in through the backdoors, and went right to work. They smashed the protective display cases, and grabbed whatever items they wanted. This immediately set off the alarm system, which alerted the Swedish police. Now, despite the alarm, the robbers remained calm, because they knew exactly where the police were. The burning cars were in fact a distraction for them set up by the robbers, and they had fallen right into the trap. Still, the police raced towards the crime scene, but by the time they reached the royal pavilion, the place was empty (the robbers were in and out in less than six minutes). Upon inspection, sculptures, chalices, plates and teapots - all invaluable items - were now missing from the permanent state collection of art and antiquities; and this wasn’t just a huge economic loss, but a cultural one as well. It was later found out that after fleeing the pavilion on mopeds, the robbers made their way to a nearby lake where they were then picked up by a white speedboat. Though from this point, the trail went cold...

*Note: The narrative of the implication of the Chinese government was made popular by Alex Palmer of GQ in 2018 (though these suspicions had existed long before).

Video Title: How North Korea Held the Greatest Pro Wrestling Event in History

"Pyongyang, 1995. The lone American made his way down a long, dingy hallway, past several North Korean officials. He was nervous, afraid of what was to come - not just because of the constant surveillance he was under, but the state of the entire country. You see North Korea was in the midst of a devastating famine, with hundreds of thousands of its citizens suffering and dying from starvation and illnesses. He didn’t know what to expect, but he was there for a reason, and he had a job to do. At the entrance, he got his cue, and with one final breath, he stepped out, into what was a sea of humanity. Now this wasn’t just any crowd. This was a 190,000 North Koreans who were conditioned to see Americans as evil - who did not know pro wrestling was staged, that it was predetermined and choreographed, and here was a man - a blond-haired American man - who embodied everything they were legitimately told to hate. This man was the legendary Ric Flair, one of the greatest American professional wrestlers of all time, and at this moment he was wondering what he had gotten himself into. Now this happened in April, 1995, but the events that led to this, actually started 11 months earlier..."
