Fresh face for GOP in Trump-won Democratic district says Hispanic vote could lead to a Republican win in balance of power struggle

Greg Cunningham believes Hispanic culture is ‘conservative at its core.’

NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!

A congressional candidate in New Mexico is betting that his Hispanic ties — and military background — are just the thing historically Democratic voters will need to go Republican in the fall.

“I connect with them on that level. They wanted somebody with law enforcement or military experience, which, you now know, I have both,” Greg Cunningham said, referring to the Hispanic community in the state’s 2nd Congressional District.

“One of the reasons that I decided to run — that I feel so strongly about this is, you know, Hispanic culture is at its core a conservative culture.”

Cunningham’s hope that the GOP can win over the Hispanic vote, a historically Democratic voting bloc, continues longstanding efforts from Republicans to flip the script among minorities, especially in fringe districts that could decide the balance of power in 2026.

That’s especially true in New Mexico’s 2nd Congressional District — currently held by Rep. Gabe Vasquez, D-N.M.

It’s one of thirteen that voted for President Donald Trump in 2024, but that sent a Democratic representative to Congress anyway. The Cook Political Report indicates the district “leans” Democratic, despite a D+0 rating.

Cunningham, who became the default GOP candidate after a lone primary challenger dropped out in April, will be the first new GOP candidate voters will consider since 2018. Former Rep. Yvette Herrell, who has been the candidate since then, last lost in 2024 by 4.2% to Vasquez.

Cunningham believes his background is uniquely suited to the challenges of the district.

A Marine reconnaissance veteran who served in combat, Cunningham joined the Albuquerque Police Department, spent years on patrol and narcotics, worked as a DEA task force officer on federal drug and cartel cases and later operated in undercover roles before transitioning into private security.

“I love Yvette Herrell, but I am a different person in every way, shape, and form. And what I bring to CD2 and to this race is exactly what we need,” Cunningham said.

Specifically, Cunningham believes that his background will help address high levels of crime and narcotics that have persisted despite lowered levels of illegal immigration.

“The human invasion portion of that equation is solved. The law enforcement, human trafficking, narcotics trafficking, all of those challenges are the same exact challenges that I faced when I worked down there 20 years ago. Nothing has changed,” Cunningham said.

But more than his practical knowledge and experience, Cunningham said he hopes to appeal to values central to the Hispanic community.

“We value our families, we value our culture, we value our faith. And so, I think when you take Republican or Democrat, take the donkey or the elephant out of it, and you start speaking to people on a core level, who are you?” Cunningham said.

“We all want the very same things,” he added.

New Mexico is roughly 50% Hispanic, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Like all Democratic strongholds and competitive districts, Cunningham believes half the battle will be convincing voters that Republicans can secure the seat in the first place.

“I just have to convince [New Mexico’s 2nd Congressional District] why we can win this,” Cunningham said.

Divided appeals court rules Trump administration’s ban on transgender military service is unconstitutional

June 1, 2026 / 2:15 PM EDT / CBS News

Washington — A divided federal appeals court ruled Monday that the Trump administration’s policy banning transgender individuals from serving in the military is likely unconstitutional.

A panel of three judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit split 2-1 in finding that the ban rolled out by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth last year was driven by animus toward transgender people.

Judges Judith Rogers and Robert Wilkins agreed that the Trump administration’s policy targeting transgender service members likely violated the Constitution’s guarantee of equal protection.

The two judges agreed to leave in place a preliminary injunction that prevented the Defense Department from removing transgender troops who are in the military. That order is narrow and only covers the active-duty plaintiffs in the case.

“The government’s stated reason for issuing the Hegseth Policy as based solely upon gender dysphoria was pretextual, and that instead, the Hegseth Policy was premised, at least in part, on a non-legitimate state interest to harm the politically unpopular group of transgender persons,” Wilkins wrote in an opinion, adding that President Trump “declared transgender people as categorically unfit for military service explicitly because of their gender identity.”

Wilkins and Judge Justin Walker, meanwhile, allowed the administration to enforce restrictions on transgender plaintiffs who sought to join the military but were prevented under the new policy from doing so.

Walker, who authored a dissenting opinion, was nominated to the federal bench by Mr. Trump in 2020. Wilkins was appointed to the D.C. Circuit by President Barack Obama, and Rogers was tapped for the appeals court by President Bill Clinton.

Mr. Trump signed an executive order in the opening days of his second term that targeted active-duty and prospective service members with gender dysphoria. The president’s directive said that the military’s “high standards for troop readiness, lethality, cohesion, honesty, humility, uniformity and integrity” are inconsistent with the “medical, surgical and mental health constraints on individuals with gender dysphoria.”

Soon after the president signed his executive order, Hegseth directed the Pentagon to pause new accessions for people with a history of gender dysphoria and halt medical procedures for transgender troops. The Defense Department issued a policy in February 2025 disqualifying people with gender dysphoria from military service unless they obtained a waiver.

Hegseth’s policy drew several legal challenges, including in Washington, D.C., and Tacoma, Washington. In May 2025, in response to proceedings in the case from Tacoma, the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to continue enforcing its policy on transgender military service while litigation moved forward.

The D.C. lawsuit was brought by more than a dozen transgender active-duty service members and a group of transgender individuals who were actively pursuing enlistment. They argued that the Defense Department’s policy unlawfully discriminated against them based on their sex and transgender status.

In March 2025, U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes granted the plaintiffs’ request to block enforcement of the policy and issued a blistering decision finding, in part, that the Trump administration’s policy was driven by unconstitutional animus.

The Trump administration appealed and asked the D.C. Circuit to pause Reyes’ decision and allow it to enforce the transgender military ban. A different three-judge panel agreed to do so while the appeals court considered the legal merits.

In his opinion Monday, Wilkins wrote that Hegseth’s policy “does not classify whether persons are eligible to serve in the military in a reasonable and evenhanded manner,” since it disqualifies from service any person who has been diagnosed with gender dysphoria, regardless of when they were diagnosed or if they currently suffer from it.

He noted that the plaintiffs in the case have served a combined 130 years in the military and have collectively earned more than 80 commendations. He said the Trump administration did not contest that they have served honorably and satisfied military standards.

“This is not a case where we are left to speculate why the government drafted such broad, undifferentiated classifications,” Wilkins said. “Unless we are going to fall for the old Groucho Marx line — ‘who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?’ — we have direct evidence in this case that animus motivated the classifications in the Hegseth Policy.”

The judge wrote that the Trump administration “conceded” that there was “no evidence to establish that persons with gender dysphoria are not honest, humble, and full of integrity.”

An estimated 4,200 troops had been diagnosed with gender dysphoria as of December 2024, according to a defense official. Roughly 1,900 active-duty members of the military received gender-affirming care from the Defense Department between January 2016 and May 2021, according to a January 2025 report from the Congressional Research Service.

Summary

• Hackers breached the Instagram account of a senior Space Force official and posted pro-Iran propaganda.
• Chief Master Sgt. John Bentivegna’s account temporarily displayed videos invoking Vietnam War propaganda and anti-US messaging.
• The incident is the latest in a series of cyberattacks targeting US military personnel during the ongoing conflict with Iran.

AI-generated summary was reviewed by a CNN editor.

Hackers breached a senior US Space Force official’s Instagram account and temporarily posted a string of pro-Iran and anti-US propaganda on Sunday, some of it invoking the Vietnam War.

One video reviewed by CNN used audio from “Hanoi Hannah,” an infamous Vietnam War propagandist, telling US soldiers to “leave a sinking ship.” The video also featured images of late Iranian security official Ali Larijani, who was killed weeks into the US-Israel-Iran war.

In a Facebook post Sunday night, Chief Master Sgt. John Bentivegna, the top enlisted guardian in the Space Force, advised his colleagues not to click on any links or engage with videos that his account posted.

“We are working with the appropriate teams to regain access and resolve the issue as quickly as possible,” Bentivegna said. A Space Force spokesperson confirmed the hack but declined to answer questions about how long the hacked content was displayed on Bentivegna’s account or who was responsible for the incident.

Space Force has played a significant role in US military operations against Iran. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Dan Caine, credited the force with using “non-kinetic effects” to hamper Iran’s defenses when the US began bombing Iran on February 28.

US military leaders have repeatedly warned their troops that their phone and online accounts could be targets during the war. US Central Command, which spans the Middle East and beyond and leads the US war in Iran, recently told lawmakers that it had “received multiple threat reports concerning adversary exploitation of commercial location data to target or surveil US personnel in theater.”

In late April, several US Marine Corps personnel, civilian employees and their families received what the Navy called “unsubstantiated” threats via text message from a group of suspected Iranian hackers. One threatening message reviewed by CNN said, “Your identities are fully known to our missile units, and every move you make is under our surveillance.”

The hack of Bentivegna’s Instagram account is only the latest front in the propaganda battles that have been a feature of the US war with Iran.

Iranian hackers in March breached the personal email account of FBI Director Kash Patel and leaked some of his old photos and emails. Young Iranians have also used artificial intelligence to make viral Lego-themed videos mocking President Donald Trump, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and the US war effort.

For their parts, the White House and US Central Command have released slickly edited videos of military strikes that, for many observers, have evoked video games like Call of Duty.

Justice Department says it will stop work on $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization fund” after judge’s ruling

2026-06-01 3:46 PM EDT / CBS News

Washington — The Justice Department said Monday that it will stop work on the $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund following a district judge’s decision temporarily blocking the program.

The move comes after the plan earned intense pushback from Republicans in Congress, which threatened to imperil the GOP agenda on Capitol Hill.

The Justice Department said on X that it would abide by the judge’s ruling that halted work on the fund, effectively shelving plans for it for now.

“The Department of Justice disagrees strongly with the decision on the Anti-Weaponization Fund put forth by the United States District Court Judge in the Eastern District of Virginia, wherein the Court stated that, under no circumstances, may the Department of Justice proceed with the Anti-Weaponization Fund recently established in order to make up for the tremendous abuse, harm, and hate unfairly shown to so many people,” the department said on X.

It continued: “This Fund was open to anybody who was so weaponized, targeted, or persecuted, whether they were Democrat, Republican, Conservative, Independent, or otherwise. The Department will abide by the Court’s ruling.”

“罗弄榴梿”真有榴梿 街坊盼树下捡宝市镇会促安全第一

2026年6月1日 23:00 / 联合早报

“罗弄榴梿”果真地如其名，组屋旁斜坡上的多棵榴梿树近期挂满了果实，一个个圆滚滚的榴梿高悬枝头，格外引人注目。有居民就透露，曾见邻居清晨在楼下徘徊，只为了等候捡拾免费榴梿。

《联合早报》记者在星期一（6月1日）下午4时许到实龙岗罗弄榴梿（Lorong Lew Lian）第5座组屋附近采访时，发现不少居民路过组屋时，都会下意识地抬头望向种在斜坡上的13棵榴梿树。

13棵榴梿树都已成龄，其中几棵长得特别茂盛，有四五楼的高度。尽管枝头挂满榴梿，但果实距离成熟掉落的阶段还有一段距离。在横向约100米的斜坡上，当局每隔三棵树就立了一块告示牌，提醒公众不要采摘榴梿，树下的植树纪念牌还记录了榴梿树的栽种者，以及栽种的原因。

在罗弄榴梿住了大约30年的何女士（40多岁，从事金融业）说，印象中这是她第三次看到楼下的榴梿树开花结果，上一次是在两三年前，但这次果实最多。

何女士说，她的邻居曾把掉落的榴梿捡来吃，还称榴梿味道偏甜。“这几天我看到不少人在组屋楼下徘徊，相信在等榴梿掉落。”

62岁的教师路易莎（Louisa）则对居民的安全表示担心，因为从高处落下的榴梿可能会砸伤人。她建议当局先预估榴梿可能掉落的日期，让居民有所防备，又或者将斜坡围起来，阻止公众走得太近。“直接把未成熟的榴梿剪下移走最安全，但这又未免太浪费了。”

居民郭先生（50多岁，维修员）则注意到，在楼下等榴梿的几乎都是年长者，但他们会站在组屋底层，不会走到树下等，所以问题不大。

市镇会：必要时会提前摘除果实 降低掉落风险

管辖该区的马林百列—布莱德岭市镇理事会在答复《联合早报》询问时解释，“罗弄榴梿”的名称源自福建话的“榴梿”。这一带早年曾是榴梿种植园，最早甚至可以追溯到70多年前的甘榜时期。

市镇会指出，现有的榴梿树是在1995年11月的植树活动中种下的，随后在2015年庆祝新加坡建国50周年时又增种了更多果树。时隔多年，这些榴梿树已经成为社区的独特景观，并体现其历史特色。

市镇会指出，基于安全考量，市镇会的承包商会在果实成熟季节密切监控果树，必要时会提前摘除果实，以降低榴梿掉落的风险。同时，果树附近也有告示牌提醒公众切勿采摘或捡拾果实，以确保自身安全。截至目前，市镇会并未收到任何相关的投诉或人员受伤的报告。

根据我国法律，所有种植在国有土地上的树木（包括果实）均归国家所有，树木也多由国家公园局管理。

未经许可在公共公园内采摘或收集果实者，最高可被罚款5000元；若在自然保护区或国家公园内犯法，最高则可被罚款5万元，或监禁最长六个月，或两者兼施。

公园局三年前答复投函本报交流站的读者时，就曾提醒公众不要食用从道路、公园或森林边缘采集的果实或植物部位，因为一些植物的部分果实或叶子可含有毒化学物质，食用时可能会对健康造成不良影响。

当局也指出，公众或团体如因研究、繁殖或慈善用途需要收集种子或果实，应向公园局申请许可证，当局将依个别情况进行评估。

郑丽文：期待访美深化两岸与区域和平稳定的努力

2026年6月1日 23:01 / 联合早报

台湾在野的中国国民党主席郑丽文星期一（6月1日）在中央党部举行访问美国的行前记者会。 （法新社）

台湾在野的中国国民党主席郑丽文星期一（6月1日）启程访美。她表示，希望这次访美能深化对于两岸和平、区域和平稳定的愿望跟努力，“这样的承诺跟努力，不只是来自于两岸，更需要来自国际社会，尤其美国的支持”。

郑丽文星期一在中央党部召开行前记者会，作上述表示。她并透露，此行在华府会见到美国联邦政府官员，在其他地方也会跟官员会面，包括国务院、国防部和涉台系统等，至于见面的层级、对象与内容，向来尊重美方惯例，都是保密的。

郑丽文表示，她4月访问大陆，和中共总书记习近平会面，美国总统特朗普5月也访问北京，与习近平会谈，都引发全世界高度关注，也攸关台海未来走向，都朝向两岸和平稳定的目标。

所以她希望此行能够深化对于两岸和平、区域和平稳定的愿望跟努力，“这样的承诺跟努力，不只是来自于两岸，更需要来自国际社会，尤其美国的支持”。

特朗普自北京返美时，清楚表达反对台湾走向台独的态度，不愿美国卷入台海冲突。郑丽文认为，这有助于排除两岸战争的可能性，这也是国民党长期以来的立场。

郑丽文希望向美方倡议结束上世纪的冷战思维，第一岛链转化成“和平繁荣之链”，“这需要美、中共同支持，尤其是来自美国的高度支持与领导”。

郑丽文同时也点出，希望美国不要被执政的民进党长期以来的恶意误导，对国民党持有不实的误解和成见，从第二次世界大战迄今，国民党才是最负责任的政党，可以维系两岸和平，不让美国卷入一个可以避免的战争。

郑丽文在答复《联合早报》提问时，进一步说明“和平繁荣之链”的构想。她表示，从日本到韩国、中国大陆东南沿海、台湾、香港、新加坡等，这是世界上最富裕、科技最进步、专业人才最多、资金最丰沛，市场最大的地区。

她说：“我们不希望所有的讨论跟资源都在思考战争。如果大家共同思考如何在科技上合作，可以有更大的经济能量跟发挥，不管是在技术、资金、人才，那会有大家想像不到的巨大和平的红利。”

外界关切郑丽文是否有可能见到特朗普。郑丽文说：“我当然非常的愿意。” 但她很清楚台美断交之后，台湾从来没有一个现任的政治人物可以跟美国现任总统见面。《华尔街日报》引述接近白宫人士的说法报道，由于华府外交惯例，郑丽文或许无缘会晤特朗普政府高层。

国安会前秘书长、民进党智库新境界文教基金会副董事长邱义仁5月31日受访时强调，总统赖清德上任后延续前总统蔡英文两岸路线，核心仍是“中华民国台湾是一个主权独立的国家”“中华民国与中华人民共和国互不隶属”，重点在于维持现状。

郑丽文认为，包括民进党“国师”邱义仁的说法也是互相矛盾，一方面说台独议题不存在，一方面重申从前总统蔡英文到赖清德的“两国论”，民进党左支右绌，台独已经穷途末路，又不能面对现实，因为会面对基本政治盘彻底崩盘的政治危机。

郑丽文率国际部主任董佳瑜和组织发展委员会海外部主任吴亮仪等人，将于当地时间星期一晚（台北时间星期二近中午）抵达旧金山，她将参访当地具代表性的企业，并前往斯坦福大学胡佛研究所与学者座谈。

郑丽文一行随后飞往波士顿，与哈佛大学及麻省理工学院学者交流，并与学生座谈；之后飞往纽约拜访侨界及当地重要智库；纽约行程结束之后前往华府，拜访国会议员及行政部门的官员，也将前往重要智库参加座谈会；最后再飞往洛杉矶拜访侨胞，预定6月16日返台。

6月假期补习 A水准考生补课科目减 中小学口试强化班需求高

2026年6月1日 23:15 / 联合早报

AI摘要

• A水准考生因大学入学计分调整，减少补习科目，多聚焦三门H2及理解与写作。
• 6月假期补习趋向务实，短期模块课程（如有机化学、写作）和口试强化班需求高，O水准口试班供不应求。
• 家长重视课程性价比与时间灵活度，兼顾假期旅行与学习，并关注孩子沉迷电子设备问题。
• 假期营结合兴趣与技能培养，解决看护需求，软技能与AI、编程等课程报名增长。

教育部调整大学入学分计算方式后，学生们减少了一门算分的H2科目，压力有所减小，原先补四科的学生，可能现在就会只补三门。但理解与写作的补习需求仍强劲，图为Indigo教育机构创办人与集团校长林明俊在理解与写作的补习课为学生讲解要点。 （邬福梁摄）

不少备考O水准、A水准的学生会在6月学校假期期间突击补习较弱的科目，受访业者指出，如今学生和家长报读选择更加务实，倾向于时间灵活、价格合理的专项课程。

Indigo教育机构创办人与集团校长林明俊接受《联合早报》采访时说，教育制度的改革密切影响着学生补习的选择和心态，也使家长在选课时更注重课程的实际效益。

今年起，A水准会考生报读本地大学时，四个必修知识性科目（content-based subject）中，只有三个高级主修（H2）科目以及理解与写作（General Paper）的成绩会算入大学入学分，专题作业也不计入内。

林明俊观察到，受这项调整的影响，学生们减少了一门算分的H2科目，压力会有所减小，原先补四科的学生，可能现在就会只补三门。

但理解与写作的补习需求仍强劲，他说：“对于大学竞争较大的科系，比如法律、医科等，或是学生有意要申请奖学金，就会补理解与写作，要考到A的成绩。”

对于6月假期补习，受访的补习中心都指出，假期会推出模块式的短期课程，如有机化学、英文写作、阅读理解等。一方面能针对学生的弱项突击强化，另一方面时间也更灵活，有助于学生和家长安排假期旅行、或平衡其他学校活动的时间安排。

尤其是针对7月即将来临的口试，口语专项补习的需求大大增加。林明俊说，O水准口试强化班供不应求，因此特别增开了一个班。

Stalford学习中心校长张秀琴受访时也指出，将要小六会考和O水准的学生，在6月假期对于英语和华语口语补习的需求都非常高，比去年同期增长了约10%。同时，A水准学生报读理解与写作的学生也有所增加，或许是和会考政策调整有关。

她说：“家长如今选课考量会更务实，比如关注课程费用是否合理、时间安排是否能配合家庭出游计划，以及孩子本身是否对课程内容感兴趣等。学生也转而寻求更具体、更具策略性的技能培训，例如口语表达技巧、作文写作方法，以及科学的实验训练等，来提升考试成绩。”

此外，她说，如今学生追求的不仅是兴趣培养，更希望掌握能够应对未来发展的技能，因此人工智能素养、编程及机器人课程的报名人数也有显著增长。

假期的放松娱乐和保持学习状态同样重要，不少家长秉持劳逸结合的态度，避免给孩子造成过大的压力。

家长：担心孩子沉迷电子设备 补习可平衡娱乐学习

高一学生的家长刘珍妮（50岁，教育工作者）受访时说，假期是给孩子调整、休息的时间，因此会给孩子一两周的时间放松身心、出国旅行。但是由于担心孩子假期过于沉迷电子设备，所以在放松之余，还报了两周英文、化学和经济的补习，每周每科两小时课程，让孩子能平衡娱乐和学习。

对于一些年龄较小的学生，部分家长会让孩子参加补习中心的假期营，寓教于乐，提升知识和技能，同时也解决白天没人照顾孩子的问题。

Edu First学习中心盛港安谷店主管陈舒怡受访时说，一些父母工作忙，假期需要借助补习中心照顾孩童，除了学业的专项提升课程，假期营的需求也一直较高。

她说，家长可以选择烹饪班、手工班和科学实验班等孩子感兴趣的主题，在假期营中培养孩子的动手能力、表达能力、抗压能力等软技能，也是假期营受欢迎的重要原因之一。

家庭教育专员：建议家长根据教师反馈决定补习

家庭生活教育专员陈俐锨说，多数家长应该参加了期中的家长会，可结合教师反馈，了解孩子在哪些方面需要加强，决定是否要报补习。

她说：“我们必须承认，一些家长仍须工作，孩子们白天有大量独处时间。无论是学业还是学习新技能，如果每天能有半天时间学习，对孩子的有效利用假期时间来说都是有益的。”

陈俐锨建议工作无法抽身的家长，假期可以协助孩子制定每日活动和休息的日程规划，合理利用假期时间。

大陆海警巡查台湾东部海域 分析指北京防日菲谈判挑战一中

2026年6月1日 23:17 / 联合早报

菲律宾总统小马可斯上周到日本进行四天国事访问。图为小马可斯（左）上周四（5月28日）与日本首相高市早苗（右）在东京赤坂迎宾馆举行的联合记者会上握手。 （法新社）

继中国大陆外交部表达强烈不满后，大陆海警星期一（6月1日）在台湾以东海域开展“执法巡查”，并点名此举针对日本和菲律宾“单方面宣布启动中国台湾岛以东海域划界谈判”。

菲律宾总统小马可斯上周四（5月28日）在东京与日本首相高市早苗会谈后，两国发表联合声明，宣布将依据国际法，就“划定两国专属经济区和大陆架的海洋边界”启动正式谈判。不过，双方并未说明具体涉及哪些海域。

台湾外交部星期天（31日）则说，台湾与日菲立场一致，期待三方共同对区域和平稳定及维护海洋生态做出具体贡献。

受访学者指出，北京关注的并非日菲就海域划界本身，而是日菲谈判会否触及台湾的专属经济区和外大陆架海域，以及会否因此挑战北京的“一个中国”原则。

中国大陆外交部发言人毛宁上周五（29日）在例行记者会上回应称，日菲划界谈判“完全非法无效”，不会对北京在台湾岛以东海域的权利主张及行使自身合法权利造成任何影响。

毛宁说，根据中国国内法和包括《联合国海洋法公约》在内的国际法，中国在该海域拥有专属经济区和大陆架，并指日菲擅自启动海域划界谈判，严重侵害中方海洋权益，中方已分别向日、菲提出严正交涉。

大陆海警局星期一进一步反制。海警局官网消息显示，海警岱山舰编队当天在台湾岛以东海域开展执法巡查。

海警局新闻发言人姜略点名，这是针对日菲单方面宣布启动“中国台湾岛以东海域划界谈判”的必要行动，并指有关做法严重侵犯中国领土主权和海洋权益。姜略说，中国海警将持续加强有关海域管控，“以实际行动坚决维护国家领土主权和海洋权益”。

台湾《联合报》报道，台湾海巡署同天确认，有两艘大陆海警船出现在台湾兰屿东南东方海域，由海巡署长滨舰并航监控。

中国官媒央视旗下新媒体“玉渊谭天”星期天引述中国海洋专家杨霄警告，若日菲继续采取“冒进行动”，中国将以“历史性的、前所未有的手段”反制。

新加坡南洋理工大学拉惹勒南国际研究院高级研究员许瑞麟向《联合早报》分析，事件关键在于，日菲具体针对哪些海域展开谈判。若涉及日菲台三方声索重叠海域，北京势必警惕日菲借双边或三边渠道与台湾直接接触；若仅涉日菲双方声索重叠区域，且位于台湾主张的专属经济区之外，北京未必在意。

南京大学国际关系学院院长朱锋受访时说，日本的那国岛距离台湾仅约110公里，菲律宾最北面离台湾也很近，一旦日菲谈判范围延伸至台湾的专属经济区及外大陆架海域，将对台湾的海洋权益构成挑战，同时也可能牵涉中国国家领土主权的敏感问题。

朱锋进一步分析，对北京而言，最重要的是防止日菲在谈判时，“没有把台湾作为中国的一部分”，完全忽视中国的领土主权，所以外交部必须事先发出严厉警告。他也认为，在日菲军事合作持续深化的背景下，北京同时关注日本会否拉拢菲律宾，在台湾问题上联手遏制中国。

新加坡尤索夫伊萨东南亚研究院附属资深研究员黎良福认为，作为美国在第一岛链上的两个盟友，日菲合作向来受北京关注。北京这次仅派两艘海警船巡查，反应相当克制，现阶段更像是向日菲发出警告，表明北京密切关注事态发展。

黎良福分析，按照北京的“一中”原则，涉台专属经济区及外大陆架海域都应由北京代表谈判，但北京相信更希望日菲不要启动相关议题谈判，避免开辟新战线。北京的另一顾虑是，日菲未来可能以国际法为工具，对中国在东海和南中国海的活动空间形成更多约束。

基根患上第四期癌症，英格兰足坛上下为他送上祝福。 （法新社）

（伦敦路透电）前英格兰队长兼主帅、现年75岁的基根（Keegan）透露，他确诊罹患第四期癌症。

他的家人和前俱乐部纽卡斯尔（Newcastle）在1月曾宣布，这位1978和1979年欧洲足球先生被诊断出癌症并正在接受治疗，但未提供具体细节。

第四期癌症意味着癌细胞已从原发部位扩散到身体其他部位。

基根上周末在纽卡斯尔泰恩剧院的一次公开活动中，向观众透露：“我出了车祸，因此需要接受手术。在为手术进行扫描时，他们发现我患有癌症。他们说有一位顶尖医生，擅长治疗我这种第四期癌症。

“所以我去见了他。他是个利物浦（Liverpool）球迷，所以我知道我不会独行（利物浦的精神口号）。他说：‘凯文（基根），这种新疗法，我的成功率非常高。’我问：‘你的成功率是多少？’他说：‘33%’。我原以为会是80%、90%。结果是33%。但我现在还在这里。”

基根球员生涯辉煌，作为前锋在利物浦和德国汉堡（Hamburg）都赢得过众多荣誉。执教生涯中，他曾带领纽卡斯尔险些夺得英超冠军，之后执教英格兰国家队也经历了一段充满挑战的时期。

纽卡斯尔在社交媒体上发布了一则支持信息：“凯文在纽卡斯尔的历史以及我们球迷心中，占据着独特而珍贵的位置。他的热情、领导力和与俱乐部、城市的联系，塑造了我们一些最难忘的时刻。俱乐部上下都支持凯文，并祝愿他及家人在接下来的日子里坚强、顺利。凯文永远会在圣詹姆斯公园（球队主场）受到热烈欢迎，我们希望很快能再见到他。”

日本舆论：小泉香会驳斥中国是“大胆创新”

日本国防部长小泉进次郎在刚落幕的第23届亚洲安全峰会（香格里拉对话）上对中国指日本走向“新军国主义”的正面驳斥，在日本国内获得高度评价。日本舆论认为，他既大胆驳斥了中国的主张，却又释放继续对话意愿，这是日本对华防卫外交策略上的一种“平衡”姿态。

日本《朝日新闻》指出，此次在新加坡举行的香格里拉对话（简称“香会”），美中冲突明显降级。不过，日本却有效地阐明了自己是在高度透明的前提下发展国防能力，并且积极发出愿意与区域国家加强军事装备合作的信息。

有专家形容，小泉是首次参与香会，却是香会20多年历史上首位全程用英语发言的日本防长，包括发言和提问环节，却还能明确强调日本防卫外交的实效，有效阐明自身立场，堪称“开创了防卫外交典范”。

针对外界对日本军国主义复辟的疑虑，小泉星期天（5月31日）在香会上不点名驳斥：“一个拥有大量核武器和战略轰炸机的国家，竟然给既无核武器也无战略轰炸机的日本贴上‘新军国主义’标签，你们不觉得很奇怪吗？”

他接着强调：“此时此刻，我们需要的不是在背后散布毫无根据的言论，而是坦诚直接地沟通。”同时，又向未能出席的中国防长问候喊话：“我对这次错过会面机会感到失望”，并表达了双方对话的愿望。

一名不愿具名的日本军官对时事通讯社透露，小泉在中国问题上其实做足了功课，直至最后一刻仍在斟酌有关措辞。促成他小心翼翼的背景原因有两个，一是不愿重蹈日首相高市早苗“台湾有事，日本有事”言论的覆辙，避免关系进一步恶化。其次，日本意识到特朗普访华后美中关系正在逐渐改善。

这名军官说，小泉无法无视中国对日本的批评，但是在未找到改善日中关系的方法之际，他选择谨慎。当中国与会者在提问时要日本就二战道歉，小泉并未直接回应，只强调“日本对话的大门永远敞开”。

香会闭幕当天，小泉在新加坡回答日本媒体提问时也强调：“日本防卫当局将继续利用海上和空中联络机制等各种日中沟通渠道，抓住一切机会，与中方进行深入交流。”

小泉欲借助香会平台拓展军事产业销售渠道

今年4月，日本政府修订了《防卫装备转让三原则》，解除了对杀伤性防卫装备出口的禁令。报道指出，小泉出席香会，也意在借助这个平台拓展日本军事产业的销售渠道，并建立在紧急情况下相互提供装备援助的合作关系。

《日经新闻》报道，小泉与菲律宾防长特奥多罗达成日本海上自卫队阿武隈级驱逐舰出口菲律宾的协议，并在2027年之前出售一架TC-90运输机。

小泉指出：“我已向特奥多罗部长确认，我们将继续讨论出售其他装备的可能性，包括菲律宾感兴趣的地对舰导弹。”

据报道，小泉也成功为三菱重工拉线，要将三菱改进型“最上”级驱逐舰向新西兰出口，也正与印度尼西亚磋商出口日本海上自卫队二手潜艇。

对于军备输出，小泉说：“我们欢迎战略原则与价值观跟我们完全一致的国家，在体制和作战层面上进一步加强合作。这是对日美同盟力量有力的支援。”
