美國商務部長盧特尼克於 9 月 2 日表示,台灣預計於下週宣布對美國投資 200 億至 300 億美元,這項投資是台美貿易協議的一部分,此前台灣已承諾提供合計 5,000 億美元的投資與信用保證,支持美國高科技製造。
川普政府同時研擬新一輪半導體關稅,課稅範圍可能從半導體本身擴大至筆電、伺服器等含有晶片的產品,盧特尼克表示,在美國製造的業者可望獲得關稅抵減,以吸引更多製造業回流美國。
Taiwan to Announce U.S. Investment? U.S. May Impose New Chip Tariffs
U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said on September 2 that Taiwan is expected to announce between $20 billion and $30 billion in U.S. investment next week. The investment is part of the U.S.-Taiwan trade agreement. Taiwan previously pledged a combined $500 billion in investment and credit guarantees to support high-tech manufacturing in the United States.
The Trump administration is also considering a new round of semiconductor tariffs. The tariffs could expand beyond semiconductors themselves to products containing chips, including laptops and servers. Lutnick said companies that manufacture in the United States could receive tariff credits, encouraging more manufacturing to return to the country.
第三則:事後避孕藥可到藥局買?雙軌制最快明年試辦
衛福部預告將 3 種藥品納入追溯系統,包括 1 種人工流產藥與 2 種緊急事後避孕藥。草案結束收到意見,主要擔憂藥物難取得、女性自主權受影響,以及非法販售風險增加。食藥署澄清,系統只會追蹤藥品來源與流向,不會記錄個人用藥資料。
至於事後避孕藥是否改為非處方藥,食藥署參考日本做法,研擬「醫師處方」與「藥師指示」雙軌模式,民眾可持醫師處方取得藥物,或於藥師評估後購買,有就醫需求再由藥師轉介醫療院所,相關評估與配套最快明年初試辦。
Could Morning-After Pills Be Available at Pharmacies? Dual-Track System Could Be Piloted as Early as Next Year
The Ministry of Health and Welfare earlier proposed adding three medicines to its drug tracking system, including one abortion drug and two emergency contraceptive pills. After the public consultation ended, the ministry received comments whose main concerns were that the medicines could become harder to obtain, women’s right to make decisions about their bodies could be affected, and illegal sales could increase. The Taiwan Food and Drug Administration clarified that the system would only track the source and distribution of the medicines, not personal medication records.
Separately, the agency is considering whether emergency contraceptive pills should become available without a doctor’s prescription. Following Japan’s approach, it is studying a dual-track system. People could obtain the pills with a doctor’s prescription or buy them after an assessment by a pharmacist. Those needing medical care would be referred to a medical facility by the pharmacist. The proposed system and related measures could be piloted as early as the beginning of next year.
第四則:主管不必事事逞強 適度坦白更能贏得信任
研究指出,許多主管擔心承認疑慮或失誤會削弱權威,因此選擇少說,但過度沉默反而可能讓員工失去信任。適度分享不確定性,並說明自己從錯誤中學到什麼,以及接下來會如何改進,能讓領導者更有溫度。
專家強調,主管不必揭露所有私事,而是要挑對內容與時機。帶著目的的坦誠,不只不會顯得無能,反而能展現成熟與負責任的領導力。
Leaders Do Not Need to Act Strong All the Time, Honesty Can Build Trust
Research shows that many managers avoid talking about doubts or mistakes because they fear losing authority. However, staying too quiet may cause employees to lose trust. Leaders can appear warmer when they openly share uncertainty, explain what they learned from their mistakes, and describe how they plan to improve.
Experts stress that managers do not need to reveal every private detail. Instead, they should choose the right information and the right time. Honest communication with a clear purpose does not make leaders look weak or incapable. It can instead show mature and responsible leadership.
