“其实大陆的市场很大，只要用心挖掘，就一定能找到遍地‘黄金’。”台胞杨施兵供职的淄博绿能芯创电子科技有限公司，已经在淄博落户三年，目前达到了预期收益。
“公司考察了产业上下游后，选择落户淄博。这里距离产品原料和下游供货商都很近，山东的客户都在周围。”作为公司研发人员的杨施兵说，自己已经“登陆”十年，首站上海，然后是山东潍坊，最近3年落脚淄博。
杨施兵的父亲出生于福建，母亲在浙江出生，后迁居台湾，所以他在福建和浙江有很多亲戚。在亲戚的鼓励下，他尝试“登陆”寻找商机。
“大陆市场越来越大，只要抓住机遇，找到专注的事情，用心钻研就能挖到‘黄金’。”杨施兵表示，大陆的发展是跳跃式增长，步伐很快，所以机遇也很多。目前他所在的企业研究的第三代半导体芯片产业已处在行业前沿，并拥有完整的知识产权。“我们必须要突破关键技术。”
对于台青“登陆”发展，杨施兵认为，首先要巩固好自己的知识和学识，把专业做好。“大陆资源丰富，机会多，经济也正处在突飞猛进的发展阶段，内需和外销需求强劲。所以台青来大陆必须要展示出自身的优点和所学专长，才能在大陆的人才竞争中找到一席之地，挖掘市场的‘黄金万两’。”
“我在淄博找到了‘家’的感觉。”杨施兵喜欢吃博山菜和淄博烧烤，虽然出身工科，但他自小钟情历史和地理，不工作时，经常到齐文化博物馆等淄博文化场馆走走看看。杨施兵曾多次参观蒲松龄故居，第一次看整体结构，第二次看建筑特色，“每次都能看到不一样的东西”。
“我常常跟台湾朋友说，一定要到淄博看看，作为齐国故都，这里能把书本上的历史立体化、真实化、感受化。”杨施兵说，大陆地区地大物博，风土人情各不相同，没有工作的时候，他喜欢到处旅游。
“登陆”十年，最让杨施兵感动的是，他的台湾同事在淄博受伤后，淄博市台办为他们紧急联系医生，还专程去看望。“这让独在异乡打拼的我和同事感到无比温暖”。
杨施兵建议台湾青年，亲身来大陆体验，不要偏听偏信，要用自己的眼睛看，用自己的脚步丈量，认识真实的大陆。(完)
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.
