("《外交政策》杂志近日引述五角大楼的资料报道说，随着美国对台海紧张情势的担忧升高，派驻台湾的美军人数也不断增多，目前已接近40人，而且隶属不同的军种。这些军人的任务一是保护美国在台北实质上的大使馆，即美国在台协会（AIT）台北办事处；二是训练台湾的武装部队。  《外交政策》根据美国国防部“国防人力数据中心”的资料指出，在台美军的人数今年6月约为30人左右，而目前则已经增加到39名。其中29名来自陆战队，5名来自空军，3名来自海军，2名来自陆军。  此外，五角大楼常年派驻台湾的文职人员人数未变，一直维持在15人左右")

("英國《金融時報》報道，戴蒙周二（23日）出席波士頓學院首席執行官俱樂部（一個商業論壇）時發言表示：「我有一天開了一個玩笑，共產黨正在慶祝成立100年。摩根大通也是如此。我敢打賭，我們會更長壽。」 * * * 摩根大通自1921年起在中國開展業務，同年中國共產黨成立。它曾表示，中國的增長對該銀行及其客戶來說是最大的機會之一")
