廢除工作年限-移工大遊行 中英印越泰各語言路線圖 集結時間：2025年12月07日(日) 下午12:30集合 13:30出發 集結地點：勞動部(台北市中山區松江路207號) 遊行終點：立法院(台北市中正區中山南路1號) 遊行路線： 松江路→民生東路迴轉→松江路→南京東路→林森南路→濟南路→中山南路 藍領移工在台灣 #工作年限為12年，許多屆滿年限的移工雖然想繼續留台工作，卻因為年限到了只能無奈離境。 近年，政府提出了 #中階聘僱制度，希望吸引技術熟練的勞工留台，但是否留任並協助移工申請中階，#決定權全在於雇主，移工為了留下來，往往只能接受更多不利條件，面對更多被仲介雇主剝削的風險。 在工作年限的限制下，#移工就像免洗筷般用完即丟，將最好的青春年華與勞動力奉獻給了台灣社會，我們卻幾乎不需要承擔他們老年的退休保障或照顧，這是赤裸的不公平。 今年的我們要主張： 所有藍領移工，都應該和其他外國勞動者一樣，不受台灣工作年限限制，能自主決定想在台灣工作多久！ 誠摯地邀請大家，12月7日一起上街，要求廢除藍領移工的工作年限！

Dolma Tsering | China–Nepal strategic partnership stumbles over BRI and boundary issues
China’s attempts to change its relations with Nepal into a strategic partnership, focusing on the Belt and Road Initiative and the Boundary Management System, have encountered significant challenges due to disagreements. Specifically, Nepal’s reluctance to fall into debt traps caused by high-interest loans from the Belt and Road Initiative and continued failure to ratify the Boundary Management System agreement. The two countries’ inability to reach a consensus on these vital issues, combined with Nepal’s measured resistance to China’s dominance, highlights the uncertainty in their strategic relationship.

Dolma Tsering | The U.S., Kuomintang and Tibetan Resistance 1950-1960: Covert Operations, Consequences and Tibetan Paratroops in Taiwan
This paper reflects on the complex political dynamics between the United States, the Chinese Nationalist Party (Kuomintang) and Tibetan leaders from 1950 to 1960. In contrast to the existing literature, this study assesses these trilateral relationships by focusing on attempted covert operations and consequences. While volumes of studies have been published about the United States Central Intelligence Agency’s (CIA) involvement in the Tibetan resistance movement, what remains understudied is the secret but unsuccessful attempts at cooperation between the Kuomintang and Tibetans and the role that the U.S. played in these activities. Findings demonstrate that the U.S. and Kuomintang’s interest was driven by the desire to exploit the Tibetan resistance to advance their interests in combating Communist China.
Joyce C.H. Liu | Freud, Balibar and the Paradox of Civility: The Aporia of the Political Topology 佛洛伊德、巴禮巴與「文明性」的悖論：政治拓撲學的難題
This article delves into the interpretations of “civilization” and “civility” by Freud and Balibar, examining how Balibar, through Freud’s lens, dissects the inherent paradoxes within “civility” and introduces the concepts of “co-citizenship” and “civil process” through the movement triggered by Freud’s concept of the death drive. Central to the discussion is the recognition that civilization engenders both creative and destructive violence, prompting reflection on how we address the complexities of “civilization”. Specifically, how does civilization veil and justify its own violence?
Mei-Lin Pan & Dolma Tsering | The Lived Experience of Tibetan Refugees in Taiwan: Contesting Rights to Work, Residence, and Citizenship
The study highlights how the political situation in Taiwan played a central role in determining the rights and status of Tibetan refugees in Taiwan. During Taiwan’s authoritarian phase, Tibetan refugees gained citizenship by serving the state’s purpose of advancing Chinese nationalist ideology, while in the democratic phase they were considered stateless and unable to obtain a residence visa due to national security concerns.
