    朝鲜参战乌克兰，想干嘛？North Korean troops in Ukraine

    韩国情报部门上周公布情报称，朝鲜已经决定向乌克兰战场派遣包括特种部队在内的12,000名兵力，参与俄罗斯与乌克兰的战争。 韩国国情院称，今年8月，首批1,500多名朝鲜特种部队已被送往俄罗斯的符拉迪沃斯托克，也就是中国所称的海参崴。 另一方面，乌克兰总统泽连斯基上周告诉媒体，根据他们的情报，朝鲜已经派遣技术人员和军官前往乌克兰被分裂的地区。他也表示，朝鲜准备派遣1万名兵力到战场，这相当于第二个国家正式加入了对乌克兰的战争。自从乌克兰战争爆发以来，朝鲜一直向俄罗斯提供炮弹、导弹和其他武器援助，但尚未大规模派遣军队参战。 朝鲜这次真的准备派兵到前线了吗？如果属实，朝鲜的意图和目的是什么？ 这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红与《联合早报》驻北京的记者于泽远详细解析朝鲜的加入将如何影响俄乌战争的局势，乃至东北亚的和平。 Reports of North Korea's potential involvement in the Ukraine war have sent ripples through the international community. South Korean intelligence claims Pyongyang is preparing to send up to 12,000 troops, including special forces, to aid Russia. This claim, while unverified, alleges that an initial contingent of over 1,500 soldiers has already arrived in Vladivostok. The situation has raised alarms, with Ukrainian President Zelensky concerned about another nation entering the fray. The emergence of unverified videos purportedly showing North Korean soldiers receiving equipment from Russian troops has further fueled speculation.  This development raises critical questions about North Korea's motivations and strategic intentions. The potential consequences of North Korean involvement are far-reaching. It could escalate the conflict, destabilise the region, and exacerbate existing geopolitical tensions, especially in Northeast Asia. In this episode of Global Heartbeat podcast, join host Han Yonghong and Lianhe Zaobao's China News Copy Editor Yu Zeyuan as they explore the potential implications of North Korea’s military involvement in the Russia-Ukraine war.

    以色列七线开火 内坦亚胡是赢家？Israel’s multifront war: Netanyahu winning or losing?

    以色列与哈马斯冲突爆发一周年， 加沙地带的暴力冲突仍未消停，以色列的北方邻国黎巴嫩也卷入了战火。  根据联合国的评估，在一个月内，以色列的攻击已经造成黎巴嫩北部2000人死亡，超过百万人流离失所。 美国、法国以及黎巴嫩的看守政府一直在努力促成停火协议，但都徒劳无功。 以色列总理内坦亚胡在10月6日宣称，以色列目前正同时在七条战线上作战。这些战线涉及不同地点或对象，分别是：加沙的哈马斯、黎巴嫩的真主党、也门的胡塞武装、叙利亚、伊拉克，约旦河西岸的抵抗组织，以及伊朗。 多线作战让以色列国内也遭受攻击，但以色列的军事行动为何仍在继续？国际社会，包括多个大国，都拿以色列没办法。 这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红和中国著名国际战略专家、中国人民大学国际关系学院退休教授时殷弘详细解析中东战火持续，遭到多国谴责的内坦亚胡到底是赢了，还是输了？ 延伸阅读： 陈留俊：以色列的“十月冒险”？ 【东谈西论】中东战争扩大 倒计时开始？ One year after the October 7 attacks, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that his country is now fighting on seven fronts. He listed the battlegrounds as Iran, Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, Shia militants in Iraq, militant groups in Syria as well as Palestinian fighters in the West Bank.  Despite international efforts to broker a ceasefire, a resolution remains elusive. This multi-pronged approach, while presented as necessary by Netanyahu, has drawn international criticism and raised questions about its long-term effectiveness. Is Netanyahu's strategy a calculated gamble for security, or a dangerous escalation that could spiral out of control?   In this episode of Global Heartbeat podcast, join host Han Yong Hong and Shi Yinhong, a professor of international relations at Renmin University of China, as they discuss the complex dynamics of Middle Eastern geopolitics as well as the implications of Netanyahu's military and political manoeuvres.

    中东战争扩大 倒计时开始？Wider Middle East war inevitable?

    在以色列2023年10月7日遭哈马斯突袭一周年的前夕，以色列在刚过去的周末扩大了对黎巴嫩首都贝鲁特南部的攻势。 战火给处于经济崩溃状态的黎巴嫩人民带来了更大的痛苦。超过100万人流离失所，逃离家园。过去一年间，以色列除了在加沙地带发动持续性的猛烈攻击，也打击了中东地区的敌对力量。这包括以色列在今年7月暗杀了前往伊朗出席新总统就职仪式的哈马斯领导人哈尼亚，9月又通过传呼机和对讲机爆炸袭击，造成数十名黎巴嫩真主党人死亡，数千人受伤。随后，以色列使用了八十余枚钻地弹，炸死了真主党最高领导纳斯鲁拉，并随后对黎巴嫩发起了地面进攻。 伊朗也展开了报复行动。上个星期二，伊朗向以色列发射了180多枚导弹，击中了两座以色列空军基地。 如今，中东地区多处战火纷飞，以色列在多线作战，它的最终目标是什么？它会攻击伊朗的核设施吗？ 这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红和台湾中兴大学国际政治研究所所长崔進揆解析中东战争全面扩大的倒计时是否已经开始？ 延伸阅读： 国际特稿：以哈战火延绵中东 一年灰烬覆盖和平 社论：以色列多线开火 中东和局无解 Tensions in the Middle East are reaching a boiling point as Israel marks the first anniversary of the October 7 Hamas attack. Over the past year, Israel has intensified its military actions in Gaza and Lebanon, further straining the already dire humanitarian situation. With more than a million people displaced in Lebanon, the region faces mounting challenges. Speculation is rife about Israel's intentions, particularly concerning Iran's nuclear facilities, raising questions about the potential for a broader conflict.  In this episode of Global Heartbeat podcast, join host Han Yong Hong and guest Chin-Kuei Tsui, Associate Professor at Graduate Institute of International Politics (GIIP), National Chung Hsing University, as they analyse the escalating Middle East crisis.   Hosted by Lianhe Zaobao’s Associate Editor, Han Yong Hong, Global Heartbeat is a Mandarin weekly news and current affairs podcast that is updated every Tuesday, 7.00 PM SGT.

    中国终于扣动救市扳机 China’s bold stimulus package

    中国三大金融监管机构上星期二突然联合召开记者会，公布了一系列救市措施，包括降准、降息、下调房地产贷款利率、将房贷首付比率下降至15%。这等于向市场释放1万亿元人民币的流动性。 中国央行行长潘功胜在记者会上还宣布，将推出两项政策工具来释放流动性并提振股市。这两项政策工具共计会对市场释放8000亿人民币，而且还只是首期。中国股市、香港股市应声大涨，并带动亚太和欧洲股市上扬。 到了星期四，中共中央政治局再开会部署经济工作，要求保证必要的财政支出、实施有力度的降息、促进房地产市场止跌回稳。国际投资者为之振奋，著名对冲基金经理 David Tepper公开表示他已全面加仓。 在冠病疫情结束后，中国经济并没有出现预期的报复性反弹，反而面临越来越大的挑战。尽管经济学家一直在呼吁中国政府采取更为有力的救市措施，但当局的行动被形容为“挤牙膏”。这一次，中国政府终于启动了大规模救市的扳机吗？这是否算是大水漫灌？ 这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红和新加坡华侨银行亚洲地区研究与策略主管谢栋铭解析中国推出的新一轮政策将会对中国经济产生什么影响？ 延伸阅读： 杨丹旭：中国央行放大招能否力挽狂澜？ 陈婧：楼市终于要止跌了？ China has surprised markets with a series of aggressive monetary easing measures aimed at reviving its flagging economy.  The country's central bank announced a cut to the reserve requirement ratio for banks, injecting billions into the financial system.  Additionally, lending and mortgage interest rates will be lowered, and further stimulus measures are on the horizon.  This comes after China's post-pandemic recovery fell short of expectations, prompting calls for more decisive government action. The announcements led to significant gains in China's stock market, which also positively impacted the Hong Kong, Asia-Pacific, and European markets.  While some investors are expressing renewed confidence, the long-term impact of these measures remains to be seen.  In this episode of Global Heartbeat podcast, join host Han Yong Hong and guest Tommy Xie, Head of Greater China Research & Strategy at OCBC Bank, as they analyse these developments and discuss whether China has finally pulled the trigger on a large-scale economic rescue plan.   Hosted by Lianhe Zaobao’s Associate Editor, Han Yong Hong, Global Heartbeat is a Mandarin weekly news and current affairs podcast that is updated every Tuesday, 7.00 PM SGT.

Malaysian police have rescued hundreds of children who were subjected to forced labor, sexual abuse, and physical mistreatment.  Established in 2010, GISB is a Muslim conglomerate that has assets totalling around RM325 million (S$99.8 million) with operations spanning Asia and Europe. The company has been linked to the now-defunct Malaysia-based Al-Arqam religious sect, which was banned by the Malaysian government in 1994. The scandal has exposed systemic failures in child welfare oversight and highlighted the impact of societal norms that allowed such abuses to go unchecked for years.  In this episode of Global Heartbeat, host Han Yonghong is joined by Lianhe Zaobao’s Second Foreign Editor, Ng Hon Kuan and Kuala Lumpur correspondent Seoow Juin Yee.

    惊险逃过一劫，柯文哲能大反攻吗？ Former Taipei mayor Ko Wen-je’s narrow escape?

    8月31日，台湾政坛第三势力领袖、民众党主席柯文哲被戴上手铐，并被指涉嫌收贿图利罪，震惊四方。经过两天的讯问后，柯文哲被台北市地方法院裁定无须支付保证金就能直接回家。 柯文哲形容自己 “在这两天当中，可以说是极尽压迫和凌虐”。 法院认为京华城获得容积奖励确实违法，但没有证据证明柯文哲“犯罪嫌疑重大”或者明知而违法，因此裁定他无保请回。 柯文哲平安落地了吗？台北市检察署认定柯文哲涉嫌收贿和图利，这次是否会被打脸？民众党是否成功逃过一劫？这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红和台湾文化大学广告系教授钮则勋深入解析柯文哲的政治危机。 延伸阅读： 韩咏红：柯文哲案对两岸关系的影响 【视频】柯文哲无保请回 法院：检方无法明确举证犯罪嫌疑重大 After a marathon interrogation in a graft probe, Taiwan People's Party (TPP) leader Ko Wen-je, was released without bail, vehemently denying any wrongdoing in the case, which involves approvals given for the Jinghua City project during his time as Taipei mayor from 2014 to 2022. Upon his release, Ko addressed supporters, claiming he was subjected to extreme oppression and bullying. While the court determined that the changes to the Jinghua City project were unlawful, prosecutors failed to present sufficient evidence to prove Ko's direct involvement in illegal activities. In this episode of Global Heartbeat podcast, host Han Yong Hong speaks with Niu Tse-hsun, professor and chair of the Chinese Culture University's advertising department to explore whether TPP has dodged a bullet or if a larger storm is brewing.  Hosted by Lianhe Zaobao’s Associate Editor, Han Yong Hong, Global Heartbeat is a Mandarin weekly news and current affairs podcast that is updated every Tuesday, 7.00 PM SGT.
