“民禁挡”禁得了抖音小红书，禁得了民心吗？******
台湾行政主管部门26日将讨论抖音等相关议题，发言人罗秉成日前表示，并不限于抖音，还将广泛性讨论大陆制APP，检视相关议题。
此言一出，岛内舆论哗然，直指这是台当局企图以“修法”手段进一步管制大陆软件，其实质是“逢陆必反”的政治操弄。岛内有识之士反问，“民禁挡”禁得了抖音小红书，禁得了民心吗？
“逢陆必反”是民进党当局的惯用伎俩
岛内媒体此前报道，除抖音、小红书外，台湾年轻人爱用的大陆APP还包括新浪微博、微信、淘宝、腾讯、哔哩哔哩、爱奇艺、百度百科和知乎等，通过这些软件获取资讯、交友聊天、丰富生活、购买商品等已成为台湾年轻人习惯的日常生活。
此番关于全面禁止使用抖音等大陆APP的讨论并非“创举”。此前，民进党当局已全面封杀淘宝、爱奇艺等APP。近日，民进党当局“数位发展部”将抖音和Tik Tok定义为“危害台湾资通安全”的产品，并下令禁止岛内公务机关使用。
针对各界关注管制范围是否会扩及民间，台当局行政主管部门称，禁止某个APP需要所谓“法律”授权，但是否有制定“法律”的必要、是否能达到封锁效果，都需要多方讨论与搜集资料加以研究，现阶段正在搜集各个国家及地区的立法资料。
对此，岛内媒体直言，民进党当局企图通过所谓“修法”谋求程序合理，对相关软件进一步加以限制只是时间早晚问题。民进党当局最害怕的就是台湾民众看到真实的大陆环境，看到两岸同胞走亲走近的精彩日常。
封杀抖音致岛内民怨沸腾
抖音最初是诞生于大陆的一款短视频社交软件，由于新颖活泼的形式和丰富有趣的内容，深受包括台湾民众在内的全球各地年轻人喜爱。
Tik Tok从2018年起便在台湾设立运营团队，一上线迅速成为台湾地区下载量第一的短视频APP。台北大学教授郑又平日前在电视节目中介绍，目前抖音在台湾的用户数量至少有500万活跃用户，尤其在台湾初中生和高中生群体中非常受欢迎，抖音、小红书已成为他们日常生活中不可或缺的快乐源泉。
不仅如此，在为台湾民众带来欢乐的同时，抖音等软件也为不少乐于分享、创作的视频博主赚取了收益。
自新冠肺炎疫情以来，岛内经济愈发下行，通货膨胀愈发严重，失业率亦居高不下。面对民生困境，民进党当局拿不出强有力的政策促进就业，反而企图对如此受欢迎的APP禁用，无异于砍断岛内民众自谋生路的手脚。
岛内有识之士直言，民进党当局的相关举动让台湾年轻人真正看穿了意识形态挂帅的结果，只会为台湾年轻世代带来困扰，终将被民众彻底唾弃。
两岸民众走近走好势不可挡
早在今年3月，针对民进党当局炒作大陆通过抖音、小红书等散布虚假消息操作所谓“认知作战”，国务院台办发言人朱凤莲就曾回应，民进党当局出于一党之私，蓄意阻挠破坏两岸民间交流，说到底是害怕两岸同胞走近走好，害怕台湾民众了解大陆的真实情况。
就在本月22日，台湾社交平台PTT掀起了一场年轻人爱用小红书、抖音的延伸话题。一名台湾高中生在接受采访时表示“透过小红书、抖音看到的大陆，跟老人口中的大陆完全不一样”。此番言论引起广泛讨论，网友在数小时内留下了上千条留言。
有网友表示“‘仇中’的变老人了”“‘台独’老人是不是已经跟年轻人有代沟、隔阂，甚至是产生矛盾了？”也有人表示“新一代觉青不被绿媒洗脑”“台湾的政治也是，会把大陆丑化吧”……
显然，随着网络时代的来临，岛内民众可以愈发便捷地了解到事实真相。同时，当越来越多的诉求被忽视、越来越多的谎言被识破，两岸走近走好、和平稳定发展的民意愈发成为主流。
正如台湾《联合报》日前刊发文章指出，两岸民间交流是自然自发形成的生态，不会因为一点小小的政治阻隔而消失，更不是民进党当局通过政治力量想阻隔就能阻挡得了的。

中新网评：美国众议长选举“连续剧”暴露美式民主痼疾******
中新网北京1月9日电(蒋鲤)在15轮投票表决后，美国众议院议长选举这场“连续剧”终于落下帷幕，众议院共和党领袖凯文•麦卡锡最终成功当选第55任美国众议院议长。这是美国国会过去164年来耗时最久的一次议长选举记录，将美国“对抗式民主”的弊端暴露无遗。
资料图：美国众议院共和党领袖麦卡锡。中新社记者 沙晗汀 摄由于两党对立加剧、党派内斗、利益分配不均等因素，众议长选举陷入一场拉锯战。在此次众议长竞选中，美国民主党议员继续抱团，多轮投票中，一票不投麦卡锡，共和党右翼“强硬派”领头的约20人小团体也拒绝投票麦卡锡。
麦卡锡的当选之路一波三折，除了本人的“政治投机派”角色在国会不受欢迎外，与共和党内部政治分歧关系密切。
一方面，共和党党内反对者认为，麦卡锡对民主党态度过于软弱，无力对抗民主党控制的参议院和拜登政府，另一方面，因为共和党的多数优势微弱，党内一些影响力较小的派系的政治力量则被放大，有利于他们巩固自己的选票。
此外，党内反对者也认为，自己的选票没有换取更多利益，希望以此作为筹码换取麦卡锡更大的让步，比如让他们获得众议院重要委员会中的职务。
作为仅次于美国总统、副总统的政坛三号人物，众议院议长通常由众议院多数党领袖担任，选举几乎没有悬念。然而，麦卡锡此次为当选，不得不做出多个关键让步，其中可能包括恢复一项罢黜议长动议机制，使得众议长的权力被削弱，难以掌控众议院。
美国有线电视新闻网CNN称，麦卡锡在这场不合时宜的政治勒索中作出让步，这种绥靖政策只会让极端主义势力更加强大。
这场引发全世界围观的尴尬选举暴露出美国政治存在严重的对立和分化。在权力博弈思维的裹挟下，党派利益凌驾于国家和人民利益之上，美国两党相互拆台，陷入“为反对而反对”的无脑对垒。而即便是一党内，也会因为利益分配问题产生不同的小派系，相互对抗，选票变成了谋利益的工具。
从国会山骚乱到打破记历史记录的15轮众议长选举，“对抗式民主”让美国政治陷入瓶颈，长期对抗势必会让政客们丧失客观公正的判断能力，其政治阶层是否有能力治理国家也会引发质疑。
两党之争和党派内斗进一步放大了美国政治体制弊病，美国所谓的“民主”形象，让全世界大跌眼镜。鼓吹以选民利益为先的美式选举，变成了政客们利益置换的游戏，进一步彰显出美国“民主政治”日渐失能，不断极化的党争已使美国政治制度陷入死循环。
House speaker election reveals deep-rooted problems in U.S. democracy
(ECNS) -- The Republican leader Kevin McCarthy was elected as the 55th speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives after 15 ballots. As the most grueling House speaker election in the past 164 years, the election has highlighted the defects of the country’s "confrontational democracy".
The election once reached a stalemate due to intense partisan strife, inner-party struggle among the Republicans, uneven distribution of interests, and more. Democratic Party members forged a close alliance, refusing to vote for McCarthy, while about 20 Republicans also declined to cast ballots for the GOP leader.
Except for his unpopular role as a "political speculator" in Congress, McCarthy’s hard-won election can be attributed to turmoil within the Republican Party.
On the one hand, opponents in the Republican Party believe that the GOP leader's attitude toward the Democrats is too weak to confront the Senate controlled by Democrats and the Biden administration.
On the other hand, the political power of some less influential factions in the Republican Party has been amplified due to the Party’s weak majority advantage in the House of Representatives, which is conducive to consolidating their ticket warehouses.
Meanwhile, these opponents believe that their votes failed to win them more benefits, hoping to use this as a bargaining chip for McCarthy's further concessions, such as getting them positions in important House Committees.
As the third political figure after the President and Vice President of the U.S., the speaker, by tradition, is the head of the majority party in the House of Representatives.
But McCarthy has made many concessions in order to bring the ultra conservatives along, involving what’s known as the “motion to vacate,” a mechanism by which members can force a vote to depose the speaker. The reported concessions will empower individual members at the expense of McCarthy’s sway as speaker.
CNN thought the concessions he made during this unseemly political shakedown would only make the extremist faction more powerful.
This embarrassing election, which has drawn global attention, exposed the serious opposition and polarization in American politics. Both Democrats and Republicans put their interests before that of the country and its people, attacking and opposing each other irrationally.
Besides, different factions arise within a single party and confront each other because of the distribution of interests. Votes have become a tool to win more benefits.
From Capitol riots to the House Speaker election with record-breaking ballots, "confrontational democracy" has become a bottleneck of American politics. Long-term confrontation will surely impede politicians to think objectively and fairly while their capacity of governing the country will also raise doubts among the public.
Both parties’ struggle and infighting among the Republicans have further amplified the defects of the American political system, with its "democratic" image shocking the world.
The U.S.-style election, which advocates putting voters' interests first, has become a game of interest exchange among politicians. In addition, it further demonstrates the malfunction of American "democratic politics" and the constantly polarized party struggle that has trapped the American political system into an infinite cycle.
