台湾民进党籍、台北市长参选人沈伯洋掀起的“洋流”，对正在争取连任的国民党籍、现任台北市长蒋万安构成巨大压力。沈伯洋今年5月确定参选台北市长，外界原以为他只会成为炮灰，没想到他却越战越勇。蒋万安这回会“大意失荆州吗”？这股“洋流”会怎样影响下个月的台湾地方选举以及明年的总统大选？听主持人韩咏红与《联合早报》台北记者缪宗翰为你深度解析。 Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) candidate Puma Shen has mounted a formidable challenge against Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an, putting the Kuomintang (KMT) incumbent under immense pressure in his re-election bid. When Shen announced his candidacy in May, observers largely dismissed him as a sacrificial lamb. Instead, the DPP contender has steadily gained momentum. Could Chiang be caught off guard? How will this surging "Puma wave" impact Taiwan’s local elections next month and the presidential race next year? Join host Han Yong Hong and Lianhe Zaobao Taipei correspondent Miaw Zong-Han for an in-depth analysis.

中国全国人大常委会8月底表决通过新修订的国防动员法，2026年10月1日起施行。   这是中国《国防动员法》自2010年正式设立以来，首次的大规模修订。修订后的条文从2010年的14章14条，扩大为14章82条。其中明确界定，国防动员是要将和平时期的国家“经济和社会实力转化为国防实力” 。 在修订版10月正式实施前，中国国家发展和改革委员会已设立国防动员综合司（国动司）。  中国的国防动员法这次大修具体增加了哪些内容，有什么特点？这是否意味着中国在进一步为武统台湾做准备？台湾社会又如何看待北京的这些动向？ 这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红与《联合早报》驻台北记者缪宗翰为你深度解析。 In late August, China’s Standing Committee of the National People's Congress passed a major revision to its National Defense Mobilisation Law, set to take effect on October 1, 2026.

The revised legal framework significantly expands the law to 14 chapters and 82 articles, explicitly outlining a mechanism to transform the country's peacetime.

横跨尼泊尔、印度、不丹、中国和巴基斯坦的喜马拉雅山脉，是世界海拔最高的山脉，人们称它做“世界屋脊”，也有人形容它是世界第三极，因为它拥有南极与北极之外最大的冰雪储量。 喜马拉雅山区的冰川孕育了长江、黄河、印度河、恒河、雅鲁藏布江等亚洲文明的重要水系，为下游约20亿人口提供淡水资源。 2026年8月26日，尼泊尔境内一条冰川在海拔约5200米处断裂，冰岩体快速坠落至海拔约4000米处，冲刷山体形成巨型泥石流，再冲击22公里后到海拔1800米左右的中国吉隆口岸，将该区域约0.7平方公里的设施被夷为平地。 冰体运动速度约为每秒50米，让人几乎没有反应时间，至今已造成约800人死亡。 中国专家指出，尼泊尔中国西藏这场泥石流灾害是气候变暖长期作用下冰川失稳所致， 亚洲水塔正在摇摇欲坠吗？ 这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红与新加坡南洋理工大学国立教育学院人文与社会学科教育学部助理教授兼气候变化研究学者王靖宇，跟我们的听众深入谈这次灾害背后给全球的警示。 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

美国和韩国的联合军事演习上个星期罕见地缩减规模，美国总统特朗普明示要跟朝鲜领导人金正恩举行第四次特金会，加上美国深陷伊朗战争和中期选举临近的背景，“特金会”再次成为国际舆论的关注。 一方是急于在11月中期选举前捞取外交政绩、高调示好的特朗普；一方是手握57至上百枚核弹头筹码的金正恩。 这场交织着大国博弈、美朝心理战的地缘政治大戏，正迎来全新的变局。 这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人吴汉钧与《联合早报》驻首尔通讯员姜贵瑛，和美国得克萨斯州山姆休士顿州立大学政治系副教授翁履中，跟我们的听众深入分析朝美韩的形势变化，以及跟美国中期选举有什么关系。 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

美国总统特朗普多次表明，他认为字典里最美的词就是关税。在去年1月20日宣誓就职美国总统后的游行活动中他甚至直言，字典里最美的三个词，第一是上帝、第二是宗教，第三就是关税。 继去年4月推出、并在今年2月被美国法院裁定违宪的“解放日”关税后，特朗普上个星期再度依据美国《1974年贸易法》第301条，以“强迫劳动”为由，对全球60个贸易伙伴征收10%或12.5%的关税。其中，英国、欧盟、印度尼西亚、马来西亚、台湾等12个美国贸易伙伴被课征10%关税；新加坡、中国、日本、韩国、澳大利亚等多数经济体则被课征12.5%关税。 特朗普以“强迫劳动”加征关税，究竟是不是“欲加之罪，何患无辞”？利用301条款及“强迫劳动”的理由加税，在美国法律上是否会更站得住脚？这12.5%的关税又会对新加坡产生什么影响？ 这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红与新加坡管理大学李光前商学院金融学副教授傅方剑深度拆解。 延伸阅读： 首批美国商家入禀法庭 挑战特朗普借“强迫劳动”征新关税 【老总Group Chat】7月27日：特朗普再挥关税大棒 对新加坡冲击有多大？ A new wave of US tariffs took effect on July 24, imposing 10% to 12.5% duties on 60 trading partners—including Singapore, where a third of domestic exports to the US are affected.

马来西亚柔佛州星期六举行了州议会选举，长期执政柔佛州的国民阵线不出所料获得大胜。在总数56个州议席中，国阵赢得48席，比上届选举中还多八席，再次以超过三分之二绝对优势执政。 在这个华人人口占三成的州，希盟流失10%华人选票。希盟的主要成员党、代表华人选民的民主行动党的议席从上届的10席萎缩到6席。代表伊斯兰势力的伊斯兰党，这次也颗粒无收。 这个选举结果反映了什么？安华政府下来会面对怎样的处境？他是否会被迫提早全国大选？传说中的“绿潮”，被柔佛挡住了吗？ 这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红与马来西亚政治观察者、华社研究中心学术董事潘永强博士深入解析。 延伸阅读： 张立德：柔州选被马华反超 民行党警钟响起  范晓琪：柔森州选不只论输赢 In last Saturday's Johor state election, Barisan Nasional (BN) reclaimed its commanding two-thirds majority, winning 48 of 56 seats. In contrast, Pakatan Harapan (PH) suffered a major blow as a 10% drop in Chinese support shrank DAP's seats from 10 to 6. While the Islamist party PAS won zero seats, its highly strategic vote-transfer to BN has quietly advanced the conservative "Green Wave" into the south.  In this episode of Global Heartbeat, host Han Yonghong is joined by Dr. Phoon Wing Keong, political observer and chairperson of the Huayan Policy Institute, to analyse whether these shifting tides will undermine Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's leadership and pressure his federal government into calling an early national election.

上周五傍晚，北京中央商务区发生一起罕见意外。一架轻型飞机撞上北京市最高建筑——楼高528米的国企中信集团总部大厦（又称“中国尊”）。 涉事飞行器是一架双座、单发轻型运动飞机。该飞机在“中国尊”高层玻璃幕墙上撞出一处明显破洞，导致驾驶员当场死亡，现场造成13人受伤，大块机身残骸及部件坠落至下方街道。 根据社交媒体流传的飞机残骸编号照片显示，该飞机登记于北京东部远郊一家飞行培训机构名下。 值得注意的是，北京城区上空属于禁飞区。今年5月1日，北京市刚出台新规定，将全市划设为无人机管制空域，所有室外飞行活动均需提出申请。 在如此严密的管控下，一架轻型飞机为何能不受阻碍地飞入北京市中心？ 这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红与北京香颂资本董事沈萌解析这起事件暴露出哪些低空飞行安全隐患？这又将如何影响中国低空经济的发展？ 延伸阅读： 【视频】北京第一高楼“中国尊”疑遭小型飞机撞击后 现场被封锁 缪宗翰：一架小飞机撞出的风险 Last week, an aircraft about the size of a car crashed into Beijing’s tallest skyscraper, CITIC Tower, also known as China Zun. Beijing has incredibly strict airspace controls—especially after new regulations on 1 May restricted all outdoor unmanned aerial vehicle flights—so how did this mid-air scare happen right under the radar? Following the incident, rumours flew across the internet. Some suspected a deliberate terrorist attack, while others speculated it was targeted revenge by someone who suffered heavy stock market losses. In this episode of Global Heartbeat, host Han Yonghong speaks with Shen Meng, Director of Xiangsong Capital, to unpack the mystery and discuss how this accident exposed the blind spots of Beijing’s air defence radars when dealing with ‘ultra-short distance, low-altitude flying objects’.

马来西亚柔佛州的选举，将在星期六（6月27日）提名。由首相安华领导的希望联盟，星期一晚上在东甲举行造势大会，公布希盟柔佛州选56名候选人的完整名单。 较早前，希盟在柔佛州的最大对手，国民阵线已经宣布，将角逐全部56个州议席，但未公布候选人名单。 希盟与国阵，都是安华领导的中央团结政府的成员党。国阵宣布竞选柔佛州的全部议席，标志着这两个政治阵营全面竞争。 柔佛州选被视为马来西亚全国大选的前哨战、风向标。这次州选的结果，会如何影响团结政府的运作以及存续？马来西亚全国大选会在什么时候举行？由安华的公正党前署理主席拉菲兹的团队接管的同心党等“第三势力”，是否有可能掀起新风潮？ 这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红与马来西亚政治观察者、华社研究中心学术董事潘永强博士深入解析。 延伸阅读： 安华腹背受敌 马国大选还能拖多久？| 世界大解说 胡逸山：柔佛州选与安华的大选算盘 Malaysia's Johor snap election is shaping up as a major stress test for Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's federal unity government. With nominations set for June 27 and polling on July 11, the southern state has become a critical battleground, as Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Barisan Nasional (BN) are federal partners but direct rivals in Johor, where BN holds power as the incumbent state government. BN has announced it will contest all 56 state seats, with party leaders framing Johor as a launchpad for a broader national comeback. Perikatan Nasional is also contesting all 56 seats, setting up fierce multi-cornered fights across most constituencies. Adding further disruption is Parti Bersama Malaysia (Bersama), a minor party taken over in May 2026 by former Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli and former minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad, which is running independently and contesting a selection of seats. Widely viewed as a bellwether for the next general election, the result could determine whether BN's aggressive push fractures the unity government and whether local state results accelerate a nationwide vote. In this episode of Global Heartbeat, host Han Yonghong is joined by Dr. Phoon Wing Keong, political observer and chairperson of the Huayan Policy Institute, to unpack the stakes on this episode of Global Heartbeat.
