台风“白海豚”逼近日本西南部，带来强风、暴雨和巨浪，日本政府星期五（8月7日）下令鹿儿岛县和冲绳县约26万人疏散，超过500个航班取消。

路透社报道，日本气象厅说，台风“白海豚”属于一级台风，最大持续风速为每小时144公里，阵风风速最高达198公里，正逼近九州与冲绳之间的群岛，预计将维持强度登陆冲绳附近。

当局已对鹿儿岛县和冲绳县近26万居民下达了疏散令，而丰田公司则于星期五暂停了九家工厂的生产。

气象厅警告，强风可能造成建筑物受损甚至倒塌，并可能形成线状降水带，引发暴雨和水灾。

受台风外围环流影响，九州南部多地已出现强风天气，包括上周发生7.1级地震的熊本县。目前熊本仍有约6700名居民因房屋倒塌而留在临时避难中心，当局担心风雨可能加剧灾情。

此外，日本多地持续高温，部分地区气温预计将达36摄氏度。气象部门提醒民众在防范台风的同时，也须注意中暑风险。

美媒：五角大楼高官想去解放军大学演讲 寻求访华遭北京冷遇

2026年8月7日 10:25 / 联合早报

美国媒体报道称，美国战争部负责政策事务的副部长科尔比，数月来一直试图争取中国政府的访华邀请，对在解放军国防大学演讲“着了迷”，但疑似因为对台军售等因素遭到北京冷遇。

美国政治新闻网站Politico星期四（8月6日）引述两名知情人士报道称，长期对华鹰派的科尔比，希望通过正式访问北京来改善关系，并曾要求五角大楼官员在与中方会晤时提出他的请求。

知情人士透露，科尔比认为，访华对稳定过去一年来因关税、台湾和南中国海等问题而动荡不安的中美关系至关重要。但报道指出，对科尔比而言，这也是一次意义重大的转变：他曾在特朗普第一任期时，参与制定将北京列为美国最大威胁的战略。

一名知情人士还说：“他（科尔比）现在的首要目标是在中国国防大学发表演讲，他在各种会议上都极力促成此事。他对此着了迷。”另一名知情人士则说，科尔比迫切希望前往北京，阐述“双边关系中的国防政策优先事项”。

报道称，到目前为止，这些努力都尚未成功，“中国政府正明确显露出对他的不欢迎”。科尔比的挫败感凸显美国政府对北京发出前后矛盾的信号，如何使本已脆弱的美中关系更加复杂。

中国官员对特朗普政府去年12月批准创纪录的110亿美元（141亿新元）对台军售尤为不满。美国国防部前印太安全事务助理部长薛瑞福（Randall Schriver）说，这正是北京对科尔比冷遇的原因之一。

施里弗称，他上月在北京访问期间，中国官员告诉他，“此前关于对台军售的决定”导致推迟了在北京接待科尔比的计划，不过中方官员仍在努力安排科尔比的访问行程，以及与美国战争部长赫格塞斯的另一次会晤。

五角大楼拒绝置评此事。中国驻美大使馆在一份声明中仅强调北京反对对台军售的立场。

报道指出，中国不愿邀请科尔比，正值中美两大强国之间的高层防务互访日益减少之时。中国军方正经历一场大规模清洗，导致两名前国防部长被撤职，也使得两国高级军事官员之间的沟通更加困难。

据报道，科尔比访华受阻也可能是出于礼宾问题考虑。近年来，五角大楼政策主管从未单独访问过北京。此外，他在战争部的角色与中国军方结构之间的错位，也使访问安排更加复杂。

一位专精美中军事关系的五角大楼前官员说：“中国没有与科尔比相对应的职位，这一直是个问题。”

此外，科尔比过去的言论可能也让北京对他格外警惕。这位资深美国官员在他2021年出版的书中指出，中国正试图取代美国的全球主导地位，美国应做好战争准备。他还在2024年警告称，“中国正在为战争做准备这一事实已得到实证”，并称美国应“将与中国的潜在冲突作为优先考虑事项，以避免冲突发生”。

为了配合特朗普政府减少与北京摩擦的努力，科尔比后来缓和了此前的表态。 在1月于韩国发表的关于美国印太地区防务优先事项的演讲中， 科尔比避谈台湾问题。他转而向北京保证，美国不寻求“政权更迭”，并赞扬了“中国引以为傲的历史”。

报道称，如果科尔比成功访华并在解放军国防大学演讲，将有机会成为本届美国政府中处理两国关系的首选人物。不过知情人士说：“我不认为他们（中国）会仅仅为了听人说教而接待高级官员。他们肯定得从中得到些什么，而我不确定科尔比除了演讲之外，还能提供什么。”

Primary showdown: Polls close in Tennessee as conservative firebrand eyes governor’s office

Blackburn blasts Democrats’ war powers push, condemns Michigan candidate

Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., analyzes the Democratic strategy to limit President Donald Trump’s war powers regarding Iran, calling it a ‘delay tactic.’ She emphasizes confronting Iran’s nuclear ambitions and its role in funding terrorist groups like Hamas. Blackburn also criticizes a Michigan Senate candidate for his anti-Israel comments.

The polls have closed in Tennessee as conservative firebrand Sen. Marsha Blackburn aims to change her work address from Washington D.C., to Nashville.

The former longtime congresswoman and two-term senator with a robust national profile thanks to her regular cable news appearances is considered the front-runner in Thursday’s Republican gubernatorial primary, in the race to succeed term-limited GOP Gov. Bill Lee.

The Republican face-off for governor of Tennessee, where Democrats haven’t won a gubernatorial election in two decades, takes top billing as the red-leaning southeastern state holds nominating contests for state and federal offices.

Blackburn is running in a race that also includes four-term Rep. John Rose, who like Blackburn is a staunch Capitol Hill supporter of President Donald Trump, and state Rep. Monty Fritts.

Even though the president handed out endorsements in other GOP gubernatorial primaries this cycle, Trump remained neutral in the Tennessee contest.

“Unfortunately, she’s running for governor. She’s running for governor of Tennessee. I’d love her not to, I begged her,” Trump said in January. “‘I said, ‘Marsha, don’t. We don’t want to lose you in the Senate.’”

But the president has said Blackburn would be a good governor, and also noted that Rose has been a staunch loyalist.

Even though she didn’t land Trump’s endorsement, Blackburn has showcased her support for him.

“As President Trump sends power and authority back to the states, I’m ready to deliver for the people of the Volunteer State and make our state America’s conservative leader,” she wrote on the eve of the primary in a social media post that included a photo of her and Trump.

Five Democrats, including Memphis City Councilwoman Jerri Green, are bidding for their party’s gubernatorial nomination.

Tennessee’s other U.S. senator, Republican Bill Hagerty, is unopposed in the GOP primary as he seeks a second six-year term in the Senate.

Five Democrats are vying to challenge Hagerty in the general election. Then-Sen. Al Gore’s re-election 36 years ago was the last time a Democrat won a Senate contest in Tennessee.

In U.S. House battles, Memphis voters will cast ballots for their Democratic and Republican nominees using a new GOP-drawn congressional district map that created an extra right-leaning seat and forced longtime Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen to not seek re-election.

Meanwhile, two-term Republican Rep. Andy Ogles, a major Trump ally in the House who is backed by the president, is facing a stiff primary challenge from Tennessee Agriculture Commissioner Charlie Hatcher, who was endorsed earlier this week by Lee. The race has seen a large infusion of money from outside groups.

美法官裁定Meta危害儿童 判赔逾7亿新元

2026年8月7日 11:26 / 联合早报

美国新墨西哥州一名法官星期四裁定，社交媒体巨头Meta须支付5亿6700万美元（约7亿2700万新元）赔偿，理由是旗下平台对儿童造成伤害并构成“公共滋扰”。 （路透社）

美国新墨西哥州一名法官星期四裁定，社交媒体巨头Meta须支付5亿6700万美元（约7亿2700万新元）赔偿，并采取多项措施保护未成年人，认定旗下平台对儿童造成伤害，并构成“公共滋扰”。

综合法新社和路透社报道，美国法官比德谢德星期四（8月6日）裁定，Meta在新墨西哥州造成了公共滋扰，支持民主党籍总检察长托雷斯提出的诉求。

托雷斯于2023年起诉Meta，指控该公司推出的产品旨在让年轻用户上瘾，且未能保护儿童免受网络危害。

陪审团今年3月裁定，Meta因未能保护平台上的儿童免受性侵者及其他网络危害，应向新墨西哥州支付3亿7500万美元赔偿。法官星期四进一步批准设立5亿6700万美元基金，用于心理健康治疗、预防教育及相关支援计划。

Meta星期四发表声明指，公司不同意这项裁决，并将提出上诉。

Meta补充说，公司仍“对我们在保护青少年网络安全方面的过往表现充满信心，并将继续针对那些歪曲事实的指控进行辩护。”

根据裁决，Meta须每半年向法院报告整改进展，并持续加强措施，防止在新墨西哥州的13岁以下儿童使用脸书和Instagram。

法官也要求Meta调整部分平台设计，包括限制18岁以下用户每月使用平台时间不超过90小时（平均每天约三小时）、减少推送通知，并隐藏“点赞数”。

目前美国已有30多个州对Meta提起类似诉讼，相关案件预计本月在加利福尼亚州进入审理阶段。

Sen. Marsha Blackburn wins Republican primary for Tennessee governor

August 6, 2026 / 9:41 PM EDT / CBS News

By Caroline Linton

Sen. Marsha Blackburn won the Republican primary for Tennessee governor on Thursday, The Associated Press projects, defeating Rep. John Rose.

Given Tennessee’s heavy Republican lean, Blackburn is considered the favorite in the November election against Democratic nominee Jerri Green.

Democrats have not won a statewide race in Tennessee since 2006. Incumbent GOP Gov. Bill Lee is prevented from running for reelection due to term limits.

With about two-thirds of ballots counted, Blackburn led Rose 43.8% to 32.6%, with Rose outperforming Blackburn around his Middle Tennessee House district,according to results compiled by the AP.

Rose was the first candidate to jump into the primary race last year, followed by Blackburn and then state Rep. Monty Fritts. Blackburn had early momentum in the race, although the single independent poll closer to primary day showed a closer race.

Rose pumped $13 million of his own money into the race, including $4.5 million in the last few weeks. Blackburn raised a total of $10.8 million.

All three candidates tried to paint themselves as the most conservative candidate in the race. Although President Trump did not endorse in this race, Blackburn had featured him heavily in her announcement video.

But Rose and Fritts attempted to cast Blackburn as not sufficiently aligned with Mr. Trump, noting that she said she voted to certify the 2020 election results. Rose also touted his support in the House for Mr. Trump’s SAVE America Act, which has not been brought to the Senate floor for debate, although Blackburn has said she supports it.

分析：美国保护主义反助中国巩固多晶硅优势

2026年8月7日 11:51 / 联合早报

彭博社分析文章指，2026年，任何贸易限制措施几乎都要以应对中国产业政策为理由。然而，若说有什么办法能进一步巩固中国在高科技供应链中的地位，那就是继续奉行这种保护主义。

美国星期四（8月6日）宣布，对半导体和太阳能电池板核心材料多晶硅衍生品设定一系列最低进口价，并征收15%的关税，12月4日生效。

彭博社称，支持这项新措施的人将这场较量定性为生死存亡之战，而中国正处于上升势头。保护主义游说团体“美国繁荣委员会”称，目前太阳能行业的格局让“一个敌对势力”掌握了“我们能源未来的钥匙”。支持者认为，这足以援引《贸易拓展法》第232条款，以国家安全为由实施贸易限制。

这一切只有一个问题。自2022年美国《维吾尔族强迫劳动预防法》（UFLPA）生效以来，美国就再也没有从中国进口多晶硅。新疆是全球最重要的多晶硅生产基地。

关税无法对一项实际上已不存在的贸易产生影响，真正受冲击的是总部设在德国、韩国及美国的企业，因为美国仍需持续进口太阳能原材料，才能维持本土光伏产业。

彭博社说，很少有行业比太阳能业更能说明，21世纪的贸易限制往往适得其反。自2012年起，美国国际贸易委员会（ITC）就一直试图消除美国太阳能板产业面对的外部竞争。但十多年来美国本土太阳能板产业始终毫无起色。

原因在于，美国企业更倾向发展利润更高的电脑晶片业务。

用于太阳能电池板的硅和用于微处理器的硅，大体上是同一种材料。太阳能级多晶硅利润极低，却占全球多晶硅产量约98%，且绝大多数产自中国。然而，全球约60%的半导体级多晶硅来自美国，这部分产品虽然产量小但纯度极高，至少占了全球多晶硅行业利润的一半。

较高的利润，使美国制造商得以承受多年来错误政策造成的混乱。始于2012年的贸易战几乎彻底扼杀了美国本土的太阳能制造业，因为它不仅阻止美国安装商使用廉价的进口太阳能板，还让中国得以将新兴的多晶硅产业发展成为世界领先者。

此外，由于美国对挪威、澳大利亚、冰岛、马来西亚等六国进口金属硅采取了不同的限制措施，美国生产商在购买关键原材料时不得不支付更高的价格。

面对敌视清洁能源的政府、无需承担相关成本的国际竞争对手，以及AI晶片需求激增，也就不难理解为何幸存下来的美国多晶硅生产商会转而生产晶片了。

美国这场保护主义运动完全误判了太阳能行业的发展。中国之所以能够主导低成本太阳能多晶硅生产，靠的并不是补贴，而是无与伦比的规模优势。而这种规模优势又源于对市场需求的确定性，这是美国断断续续的能源转型方式所无法比拟的。

彭博社说，非中国竞争对手若想在这种残酷的环境中勉力支撑，他们需要的是稳定且可预期的政策，以便最大限度地利用向其开放的有限市场。加征更多关税显然无法解决问题。

同时也别忘了半导体领域的情况。中国太阳能产业利润微薄，但庞大的多晶硅提炼量为本土生产商提供了充足的机会，使其能够提高产品纯度，并在利润更高的晶片原材料供应领域展开更激烈的竞争。

当华盛顿和盟友沉溺于太阳能板贸易争端时，北京正壮大多晶硅产业，进一步挑战美国仍占优势的电脑晶片产业。如果认为AI是西方维持技术领先的护城河，就更应密切关注太阳能行业的发展。

AI摘要

• 美国拟对多晶硅衍生品设最低进口价并征15%关税，12月生效，但自2022年起已无中国多晶硅进口。
• 关税实际冲击德、韩及美企，因美国仍需进口太阳能原料维持本土产业。
• 中国凭借规模优势主导全球98%太阳能级多晶硅生产，非靠补贴而是市场确定性。
• 美国太阳能制造业十余年未起色，企业转向高利润半导体级多晶硅（占行业利润一半）。
• 保护主义误判产业逻辑，反助中国借多晶硅基础进军高纯度晶片材料领域，挑战美技术优势。

Trump-endorsed Rep. Andy Ogles projected to lose GOP primary in Tennessee

August 6, 2026 / 11:29 PM EDT / CBS News

Two-term Rep. Andy Ogles lost the Republican primary for his Tennessee House seat, the Associated Press projects, despite securing an endorsement from President Trump.

With just over 80% of votes counted in Thursday’s primary, Ogles trailed former state Agriculture Commissioner Charlie Hatcher by just over six points, according to results compiled by the AP.

It marks the second loss this week by a congressional candidate backed by Mr. Trump, whose endorsement typically carries significant sway in Republican primaries. In a Michigan GOP House primary two days earlier, Trump-endorsed candidate Amir Hassan lost to Thomas Smith, who had suspended his campaign weeks earlier.

In a victory speech Thursday night, Hatcher said Ogles had called him to concede and offered to help him transition into the job.

“I don’t know what D.C. is going to be like. It’s going to be a new environment for me,” Hatcher told Nikki Hauser, a reporter for Nashville CBS affiliate WTVF. “I appreciate anybody that can mentor me and help me in that process … He was nice enough to do that, and I accepted it.”

A member of the hard-right House Freedom Caucus, Ogles secured the president’s endorsement last November, and Mr. Trump again urged people to vote for the “Conservative Warrior” in an Election Day social media post. But Hatcher was endorsed by Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee and former Gov. Bill Haslam.

Ogles has drawn controversy for incendiary rhetoric on social media, including posts stating that “homosexuality has no place in America” and that “Muslims don’t belong in American society.” He deleted the post about homosexuality, saying the “stupid” and “hurtful” post was written by a member of his staff who was later “reprimanded.”

Ogles’ phone was seized by the FBI in 2024 as part of a campaign finance-related investigation. The lawmaker pushed back on the move, and the Justice Department agreed to return his phone earlier this year. He was not charged with a crime.

Earlier this year, Ogles’ district was redrawn as part of a broader redistricting effort that broke up Tennessee’s sole Democratic-leaning seat. The district previously covered parts of Middle Tennessee near Nashville, but it now snakes more than 200 miles from the Nashville suburbs to Memphis.

Both Ogles and Hatcher have sought to align themselves with Mr. Trump while running in the deep-red district. But Hatcher has taken some jabs at Ogles’ rhetoric, calling him a “show horse” and arguing: “Think what President Trump could do if our congressman spent less time talking and more time doing.”

Ogles was also outspent in the race, raising $613,135 to Hatcher’s $719,503, according to Federal Election Commission filings. And a pro-clean energy super PAC called the Invest In Tomorrow Coalition spent around $2 million to support Hatcher and oppose Ogles last month. The group’s donors include tech billionaire Chris Larsen and several renewable energy companies.

Ogles criticized the Invest in Tomorrow Coalition in the final days of the race, accusing national left-leaning group of “interfering in a Republican primary” and trying to buy his seat because he “openly fought against green energy subsidies in Congress.”

In a Thursday night statement, Invest In Tomorrow Coalition Chair Tom Matzzie vowed to “continue to punish members of either party who want to play politics with American jobs, energy security, and utility prices.”

“Tennessee’s 5th District just proved once again that standing in the way of America’s energy future comes with a hefty political price,” said Matzzie, who is also the CEO of electricity supplier CleanChoice Energy.

Hatcher will face Democratic nominee Chaz Molder in the November general election.
