發布於 2025-02-24 11:02:13
Taiwanese nationals with German citizenship have cast their ballots in Germany's federal election Sunday for the first time.
This follows a change in the country's Nationality Law last year that allows Germans with dual citizenship to vote.
More than 200,000 citizenship applications were received by the government since the passage (通過) of the new law in June, including from a number of Taiwanese people.
That's about two to three times higher than in previous years.

The CWA says lows fell to "minus 5.2 degrees Celsius" on Taiwan's highest peak at around 5am today, and rime frost formed on surfaces on the mountain.
Forecasters say the opaque (不透明的), granular deposits of ice crystals occur in foggy or cloudy conditions when the water droplets in the air freeze on cold surfaces.
Temperatures on Yushan returned to 2.8 degrees at around 8am.

Ukraine Zelenskyy on US Aid Deal
發布於 2025-02-24 11:02:13
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says a contentious (有爭議的) U.S. proposal that would have seen $500 billion worth of profits from Ukrainian rare minerals given to the United States as compensation for its wartime assistance to Kyiv has been taken off the table.
Zelenskyy told a forum in Kyiv on Sunday that he was open to brokering a deal that would let the U.S. profit from his country’s minerals, but that the $500 billion sum initially proposed had been removed from the discussions.
The Ukrainian leader said considering aid as a debt to be repaid would be a “Pandora's box” that would set a precedent requiring Kyiv to reimburse all its backers.
U.S. officials have expressed confidence that a deal could be reached this week.
