Sketch of Public Policy Communion, April 2024
2024年4月份國政聯誼會縮影 ![]() 本會於2024年4月14日假台北晶華酒店地下三樓晶英會舉行「祐生國政聯誼會」。由主持人黃晉英秘書長宣布後揭開當日活動序幕,在輕鬆、活潑的節目之下,隨即由主持人帶來重要訊息:「台海局勢緊張,而菲律賓與中國在南海的衝突,更是不容忽視的危機。日本學者認為,習近平的年齡是他決定是否對台灣動武的重要因素,可能在未來10年內採取行動。因此,台灣仍應積極強化自我防禦能力,對外展現自我防衛的決心。在經濟方面,過去許多企業在中國設廠,而隨著中美貿易戰開打,台商供應鏈已逐步遷徙,高階回台灣,中低階則移往東南亞,形成新趨勢。最後提醒大家,在氣候異變及外在情勢混亂之下,我們仍要站穩自己的腳步,往正確的道路前進!」 The April Archilife Public Policy Communion of 2024 was held on April 14, 2024. After a series of relaxing and fun activities, Secretary General Huang Chin-ying made the following announcement, "The tensions across the Taiwan Strait and the ongoing conflict in the South China Sea between China and the Philippines are crises that must not be overlooked. Japanese scholars believe that Xi Jinping's age is a major factor in his decision to use force against Taiwan, possibly within the next decade. As a result, Taiwan should keep actively enhancing its capacity for self-defense and displaying a resolve to defend itself. Many businesses had previously established factories in China due to economic reasons. However, with the onset of the US–China trade war, Taiwanese supply chains have gradually shifted, with higher tiers returning to Taiwan and intermediate and lower tiers relocating to Southeast Asia, creating new trends. Ultimately, this serves as a reminder to all individuals to find their footing and persist along the correct trajectory in the face of climate change and external chaos!" ![]() Next on the schedule was the keynote speech. First, Ms. Cheng Wei-ning presented a speech on the "Archilife Living Special Team's Research Result Report for the Second Half of 2023". The speaker began by stating that, given the challenges of climate change trends and post-pandemic human survival, the current research mission is to engage in idea development and discussion, which are expected to serve as an important guideline for planning the next sustainable world. The research in the first half of 2023 included an analysis of environmental change, technological development, and the trend of smart transformation, resulting in the formulation of smart living plans based on symbiosis and digital transformation. This stage of research builds on the findings from the first half of 2023 to delve deeper into the development trends of AI technology, responses to impacts, and applications in medicine, architecture, energy, agriculture, and education that are most directly related to survival, livelihood, and life extension. The speaker stated that she would share the most recent research findings with all members as soon as they became available. ![]() Next, Mr. Lin De-en spoke on "AI-Assisted Meteorological Disaster Prevention". The speaker began by stating that serious disasters result in injuries, casualties, and the destruction of homes. As a result, the team attempted to use a variety of advanced equipment in the hopes of preventing disasters. Today, artificial intelligence has joined the meteorological research team, saving a significant amount of time and energy. The speaker mentioned that the research team collects impact factors of slope disaster collapse using machine learning to deal with nonlinear problems. The collapse potential assessment model has been developed using "support vectors" that demonstrate sound performance. The predictability of collapse hotspots is crucial for disaster prevention, dispatch, and personnel evacuation policies. The speaker also shared examples of successful typhoon disaster prevention using the forecast system in 2023. Lastly, the speaker tenderly acknowledged that AI is not yet capable of substituting human decision-making and that much progress remains in addressing extreme weather caused by climate change. Everyone is required to make a swift forward stride and muster the courage to break through! ![]() Next, Mr. Chou Yu-ching spoke on "Taiwan's Experience and Effects in Diabetes Prevention and Treatment". The speaker began by pointing out that according to statistics, approximately two million people in Taiwan have diabetes, with the prevalence increasing annually among young people aged 20–39 years old. This highlights the importance of implementing effective early prevention and control measures. In 2001, the Ministry of Health and Welfare launched the Diabetes Co-care Plan. The plan involved the majority of primary clinics and hospitals at all levels. The co-management model did, in fact, improve the quality of diabetes care. On the other hand, the National Health Insurance Administration's Integrated Diabetes Care Plan, community medical group and family physician systems, and metabolic syndrome prevention and treatment plans, among others, are expected to achieve the World Health Assembly's (WHA) five global diabetes targets by 2030. The speaker hoped that improving health education and policy implementation would aid in the prevention and control of diabetes. ![]() After the speech, Secretary General Huang Chin-ying presented a gift to the speakers on behalf of the foundation. Then, attendees expressed and exchanged their opinions and views during the piggy hour. The April Archilife Public Policy Communion ended smoothly. |
