Does Indonesia have ‘bargaining chips’ to navigate Trump’s tariff threat?
印尼正在寻求与美国签署新的贸易协议,以应对特朗普总统的高额关税威胁,但专家认为,若不明确具备谈判优势的行业,将面临困难。尽管印尼在面对更高关税的前景时“相对免疫”,但官员们仍希望通过与美国达成双边自由贸易协议(FTA)来加强双边关系,促使华盛顿“降低对印尼产品的关税”。
印尼是东南亚最大的经济体,去年与美国的贸易额达到168亿美元,创造了与任何单一伙伴的最高贸易顺差。尽管目前与美国没有双边自由贸易协议,印尼贸易部长布迪·桑托索表示,这一举措有助于印尼出口商“进入美国市场”,并强调提升竞争力的重要性,以便在全球市场中与其他国家竞争。

China keen to engage as Gaza war halts, but will US-Israel ties hinder efforts?
By Zhao Ziwen
A top Chinese envoy has visited Israel and Palestine, signalling Beijing’s willingness to engage in regional affairs following the Gaza ceasefire, though observers cautioned that the results might be limited results given the close ties between the US and Israel.
Zhai Jun, China’s special envoy for Middle East affairs, visited Israel and the West Bank last week, meeting top officials including Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas and Eden Bar-Tal, the Israeli foreign ministry’s director general.
It was Zhai’s first visit to Israel and Palestine since the Gaza war erupted in October 2023. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has not visited the area since the beginning of the conflict.
During his meeting with Bar-Tal, Zhai said Beijing welcomed the ceasefire. He also emphasised the importance of the hostage release agreements. Zhai encouraged Israel and China to cooperate more following the ceasefire, particularly in the field of innovation.
“China welcomes the agreement for a ceasefire in Gaza and the exchange of hostages … and hopes that the agreement will be earnestly implemented, leading to the safe release of hostages and a comprehensive and lasting ceasefire in Gaza,” he said.
The ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas went into effect on Sunday.

What’s next for Hong Kong vehicle licence plates after ‘ZZ’ series end?
香港即将开始分配“ZZ”车牌,这标志着传统车牌注册标记的供应即将耗尽。尽管如此,运输部门表示,他们计划在未来20年内推出新系列,以创造300万个新的组合。当前的系统使用“AA”到“ZZ”的前缀来分配车牌,而数字则由计算机随机生成。
运输部门目前正在分配前缀为“ZV”的车牌,并将在2月或3月开始分配“ZZ”系列。这一系列的分配将遵循字母升序的原则。一旦“ZZ”系列用尽,部门将开始以逆字母顺序引入“WA”到“WZ”的车牌,随后依次是“VA”到“VZ”等系列。运输部门的发言人表示,至今还有约300万个传统车牌尚未重新分配,预计这些车牌足以满足未来20年的需求。

Hong Kong bus technician remanded over seditious posts, photos on social media
By Fiona Chow
A Hong Kong bus technician has been remanded in custody over allegedly publishing seditious texts and photos on social media, becoming the fifth person to be charged with the offence under the city’s domestic national security law.
Li Chun-kit, 36, appeared at West Kowloon Court for the first time on Wednesday to face a count of “knowingly publishing publications that had a seditious intention” under the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance.
He has been accused of publishing seditious material on social media between March 29, 2024, and January 21 of this year, with the intention of instigating “hatred, contempt or disaffection” against the constitutional order and the city government’s executive, legislative or judicial branches.
The Post learned that the prosecution had alleged that Li made more than 100 seditious posts involving texts, photos and links to news media using a social media account.
The exact wording used in the materials has yet to be fully disclosed.
But authorities said some content involved “calling for sanctions against government officials as well as inciting violence”.

Big drop in internal investigations into China’s corruption busters in 2024
尽管全国范围内的反腐调查数量增加,去年中国反腐机构内部的调查数量却减少了一半。中央纪律检查委员会报告称,2024年有3,900名官员被调查,而2023年这一数字为7,817人。同时,接受审判的官员人数也从474人降至374人。
反腐运动在抓捕高级官员方面取得了显著成果,58名副部长级及以上的官员被卷入调查,其中包括中央组织部的高级检查员李刚。李刚因“涉嫌严重违反纪律和法律”被拘留,这一表述通常指代腐败问题。此外,国有企业中国南方电网的纪律负责人龙飞也因类似指控被调查并于8月被开除党籍。这些事件显示了中国反腐斗争的持续性与复杂性。

In the global marathon for tech supremacy, Brics’ size matters
By Oleg Yanovsky
Whether in the fourth industrial revolution semantics of Klaus Schwab or Beijing’s concept of “new productive forces”, major powers agree on one thing: competition in the 21st century to gain a geopolitical advantage is about commanding enough capital and scientific potential to win the tech race for new economic domains.
The emerging domains include the Arctic, cyberspace, outer space, the oceans and renewed competition for Africa. In this sense, US President Donald Trump’s threats to annex Greenland elicit chuckles but are an important geopolitical signal.
Likewise, the US’ massive investment in SpaceX – in the form of substantive government contracts – shows the importance of the new domains. Meanwhile, Russia and China are working together towards a base on the Moon. It’s worth it – new domains promise critical economic benefits and powerful capabilities to pressure competitors.
Solutions that supply the upper hand share a characteristic – everything is dual-use. Online marketplaces, like Amazon or Taobao, are benign. But in Russia, they are also a military innovation: in a state-backed move, an online marketplace for drone parts has been created. In the United States, data analytics company Palantir proudly revealed in 2023 that it has been helping Ukraine improve the accuracy of its strikes through crunching big data using artificial intelligence (AI).
Integrating AI into physical infrastructure provides a productivity gain akin to the breakthrough of the steam engine. It’s no surprise that Chinese Premier Li Qiang has called AI an engine for new productive forces, while Russian President Vladimir Putin sees having independent AI technology as a prerequisite for sovereignty.
Russian drones are increasingly using AI targeting on the war front and the government is rolling out regional investment programmes focused on AI integration in productive industry.

Singapore takes first step towards general election, analysts predict midyear polls
首相律政在11月前必须在5月或6月宣布大选。这次选举对于首相律政来说是一个重大试镜,他将在下次选举中首次带领执政党民众行动党(PAP)。他上任后不久,前首相李显龙宣布下台,结束了40多年的执政。
政府在周三宣布成立负责划定选区的委员会,标志着大选的首步。这一委员会的组成是大选的常见信号,过去四次选举,委员会组成后和选举日期之间的间隔时间大致在4个月至11个月之间。由于今年8月庆祝新加坡独立60周年,因此选举必须在11月前召开。
分析师认为,这次大选将集中讨论生活必需品的议题。新加坡政府通常在委员会成立后不久宣布下次大选的举行时间。律政首相将面临挑战,因为他在执政党内的地位尚未得到完全确立。他还需要证明自己能够领导执政党取得胜利。

UN warns Thailand Uygurs face torture if deported to China
联合国人权专家呼吁泰国不要将48名维吾尔人遣返中国,警告称他们面临酷刑、虐待和“不可逆转的伤害”风险。这些维吾尔人已在移民拘留中超过十年,近期人权组织和一些泰国立法者对他们被转移回中国的情况表示关注。尽管如此,泰国政府表示没有此类计划。
维吾尔族是中国新疆地区的一个主要穆斯林少数民族,约有1000万人。人权组织指责北京在该地区广泛存在侵犯人权的行为,包括监控和强迫劳动。联合国特别报告员在声明中指出,这48名维吾尔人应获得庇护程序和其他人道主义援助,因为其中一半人有严重健康问题。泰国副总理也确认,政府并没有立即遣返他们的计划。

Indonesia’s US$1.4 billion fish start-up faked most sales, report claims
EFishery Pte可能在过去几年内夸大了其收入和利润,内部调查显示管理层在2022年9月之前的九个月内虚报近6亿美元的收入,这意味着其报告数据的75%以上为虚假。这项调查是由一名举报者提出的指控引发的,目前仍在进行中,初步报告已在投资者中传播。
EFishery是一家印尼农业科技初创企业,专注于为鱼和虾农提供智能喂食设备,并在行业内获得1.4亿美元的估值。尽管在技术行业广泛裁员和估值下滑的背景下,该公司曾以盈利能力吸引投资者,然而,调查显示其在2024年前九个月实际上面临3540万美元的亏损,而非最初报告的1600万美元盈利。此次调查是由于举报者向董事会成员提出了财务不准确的指控,随后公司解雇了联合创始人兼首席执行官Gibran Huzaifah。

Trump’s America First Trade Policy: US-China 2020 import deal is again under scrutiny
By Ralph Jennings
The possibility of new tariffs on China, and even the cancellation of its preferential trade status with the US, will come under the microscope of President Donald Trump’s two-day-old “America First Trade Policy”, according to analysts who say the likelihood of such a review also raises the question of whether Beijing may have to fulfil the missed requirements of a trade deal reached with Washington in 2020.
The policy was formalised in a memorandum after Trump’s inauguration on Monday. Describing it as “rather hawkish” on China, analysts with Tokyo-based bank Nomura on Tuesday flagged concerns related to the Office of the US Trade Representative’s planned assessment of China’s compliance with the phase-one trade deal.
“The concern here is that this gives the Trump administration another reason to impose additional stiff tariffs or trade demands on China to force compliance with the original trade deal,” analysts led by Craig Chan said in the research note.
Other sections of the memo call for investigating the US’ large trade deficit with China, the overall US tariff regime, China’s currency-management practices, and US investments in sensitive technologies from a national security perspective.
Nomura calculated that, in 2020 and 2021, China reached only about 58 per cent of an import target in the deal, which was signed during Trump’s first term after the two countries slapped several rounds of tariffs on each other.

EU tariffs fail to stem flood of Chinese cars, BYD hit by workforce claims: 7 EV reads
中国对欧盟的电动车(EV)出货量在新关税实施后意外上升,这引发了市场对中欧贸易紧张关系在2025年可能加剧的担忧。尽管面临新的贸易壁垒,中国的电动车企业仍然显示出强大的市场适应能力,特别是在欧洲市场的竞争中。
与此同时,中国建筑工人的工作条件引发了国际关注。相比之下,巴西在保护员工权益方面的表现更为突出,尽管两国的经济规模差异显著。长时间的工作、缺乏基本设施等问题在中国建筑行业中屡见不鲜,但在巴西被视为不可接受的“类似奴隶的条件”。这种对比不仅反映了两国在劳动保护上的巨大差异,也为未来的国际劳工标准讨论提供了新的视角。

China’s submarine-launched drones can do more than the US military thinks: study
美国军方正在考虑一种新战术,计划在中国沿海部署潜艇,以从水下释放大量无人机,实施对解放军舰队的突袭。这一策略旨在减少美军舰只接近战区的风险,特别是在面对中国可能对台湾进行的军事行动时。
然而,中国已经实现了这一构想,其研发的无人机能够从水中发射,反复在海面和空中飞行,并最终返回潜艇。这一创新来自西北工业大学和中国气动研究与发展中心的合作,研究团队的论文指出,这款名为“飞翼”的无人机通过独特的可折叠翼设计,显著提升了隐蔽性和生存能力。
“飞翼”结合了高效的水下导航与空中的高机动性,具有广泛的军事应用潜力,包括海洋侦察、监视以及打击等领域。这一技术进步不仅展示了中国在无人机生产能力上的优势,也可能改变未来的海洋战术格局。

立陶宛于2021年允许在首都维尔纽斯开设一个名为“台湾代表处”的办事处后,其对中国的出口几乎瞬间消失。官方海关数据显示,这一举动引发了中国的强烈反应,使得立陶宛的出口商瞬间被剔除出中国国家海关系统,无法继续向中国市场发送商品。作为回应,欧盟将此案提交至世界贸易组织,表明其在面对中方施压时的立场。
