第一則：民進黨徵召沈伯洋 投入台北市長選戰
民進黨於 5 月 13 日徵召不分區立委沈伯洋參選台北市長，對決現任市長蔣萬安。民進黨由兼任黨主席的總統賴清德在中執會後對外宣布提名結果，台北市長選戰布局也因此正式明朗。
媒體人詹凌瑀表示，沈伯洋具備清晰論述能力與學者背景，長期研究中國對台資訊戰與認知戰，形象鮮明，是民進黨近 20 年來在台北推出最有戰力的市長候選人。
Democratic Progressive Party Nominates Puma Shen for Taipei Mayor Race
The Democratic Progressive Party nominated at-large legislator Puma Shen on May 13 to run for Taipei mayor against current mayor Chiang Wan-an. President Lai Ching-te, who also serves as party chairman,announced the nomination after the party’s Central Executive Committee meeting, making the party’s plan for the Taipei mayoral race clear.
Media commentator Chan Ling-yu said Puma Shen has clear speaking skills and a strong academic background. He has long studied China’s information warfare and cognitive warfare against Taiwan, and has a strong public image. Chan Ling-yu also claimed Puma Shen is the DPP’s strongest Taipei mayoral candidate in the past 20 years.
第二則：川習會前美中分歧未解 移民與芬太尼成焦點
川習會於 5 月 14 日登場，但會前美中雙方在非法移民與芬太尼議題上仍有明顯分歧。美國官員指出，中國因不想接受非法移民，近半年縮減遣返合作，拖延發放旅行文件，讓美方對此感到不滿。
此外，美中過去曾針對芬太尼與關稅問題達成協議，但雙方於先前在維也納舉行的聯合國麻醉藥品委員會會議上再度爆發爭論，顯示相關問題仍持續升高兩國緊張關係。
U.S.-China Differences Remain Before Trump-Xi Meeting, as Immigration and Fentanyl Become Key Issues
The Trump-Xi meeting took place on May 14, but the United States and China still have clear differences over illegal immigration and fentanyl before the meeting. A U.S. official said China has reduced cooperation on deportation over the past six months and delayed issuing travel documents because it does not want to take back illegal immigrants, which has made the United States dissatisfied.
In addition, the United States and China had previously reached an agreement on fentanyl and tariffs, but the two sides clashed again at an earlier meeting of the United Nations Commission on Narcotic Drugs in Vienna, showing that these issues are still continuing to raise tensions between the two countries.
第三則：戰爭衝擊原料供應 資生堂將關閉台灣廠
伊朗戰爭持續擾亂全球供應鏈，日本美妝大廠資生堂表示，石油提煉的石腦油短缺，可能影響乳液與化妝品原料供應，因此公司正評估改用植物萃取等替代原料，並擴大供應商網路，以降低供應風險。
同時資生堂也宣布於明年第 2 季結束台灣新竹廠的營運，並把產能移回日本。此舉是為了配合 2030 年中長期策略，提升產能利用率並強化成本效率。
War Disrupts Supplies as Shiseido to Close Taiwan Plant
The war in Iran continues to disrupt global supply chains. Japanese beauty giant Shiseido said a shortage of naphtha refined from oil may affect the supply of raw materials for lotion and cosmetics, so the company is now considering plant-based alternatives and expanding its supplier network to lower supply risks.
At the same time, Shiseido also announced that it will end operations at its Hsinchu plant in Taiwan in the second quarter of 2027 and move production capacity back to Japan. Shiseido said this move is meant to support its 2030 mid- to long-term strategy, improve capacity use, and strengthen cost efficiency.
第四則：低績效員工怎麼辦？職場邊緣化警訊
職場管理中，主管常面臨低績效員工的難題。主管通常不會直接淘汰同事，而是透過任務分配逐漸減少重要工作，讓員工慢慢被邊緣化。
專家建議，主管應先判斷問題是能力不足還是動機不夠，再決定是否培訓、調整職位或重新分配任務。同時，員工也應留意任務量、互動頻率與回饋是否減少。這些變化可能代表主管的信任正在下降，需要及早調整與改善。
What Should Managers Do About Low-Performing Employees? A Warning Sign of Workplace Marginalization
In workplace management, managers often face the challenge of dealing with low-performing employees. Managers usually do not remove employees directly. Instead, they gradually reduce the important tasks assigned to them, causing the employees to slowly become marginalized.
Experts suggest that managers should first judge whether the problem is a lack of ability or a lack of motivation. Then they can decide whether to provide training, adjust the position, or reassign tasks. At the same time, employees should also pay attention to whether their workload, interaction with managers, and feedback are decreasing. These changes may mean that the manager’s trust is declining and improvement is needed as early as possible.
第五則：想讓溝通更有效？關鍵在客製化
溝通專家指出，有效的溝通不在於講得完整，而是對方聽懂多少。如果發現對方的理解度只有 70 分，就該先抽掉難懂的部分。重點不在多，而在於選對內容。
專家強調要針對不同對象「客製化」內容，先給結論或調整說話順序。當對方感到「聽得懂」時，才會放下防備，讓雙方的對話能夠長期且舒服地持續下去。
Want More Effective Communication? Customization Is the Key
Communication experts point out that effective communication is not about saying everything completely, but about how much the other person actually understands. If you find that the other person’s level of understanding is only around 70%, you should first remove the parts that are hard to understand. The key is not how much you say, but whether you choose the right content.
Experts also emphasize “customizing” your message for different audiences, such as giving the conclusion first or adjusting the order of your points. When the other person feels that they can understand, they are more likely to lower their guard, allowing the conversation to continue smoothly and comfortably over time.
Let’s wrap up today’s episode. We’ve learned about some important events happening around the world.
The DPP officially nominated Puma Shen for the Taipei mayor race, and a media commentator called him the party’s strongest candidate in Taipei in the past 20 years.
The United States and China headed into the Trump-Xi meeting with ongoing tensions over illegal immigration, fentanyl, and visa restrictions still unresolved.
As war disrupts raw material supplies, Shiseido plans to use alternative materials and close its Taiwan plant as part of its long-term strategy.
Managers often handle low-performing employees by gradually reducing their responsibilities, making early action important for both managers and staff.
To communicate more effectively, experts suggest customizing your message for different people and focusing on their level of understanding rather than just finishing your speech.
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.
