Man whose blood saved 2.4 million babies dies age 88
James Harrison, an Australian man known for saving 2.4 million babies through his blood plasma donations, has died at the age of 88. Harrison's donations, spanning six decades, contained a rare antibody used to create life-saving injections for unborn babies at risk of Hemolytic Disease of the Fetus and Newborn (HDFN).
Harrison began donating plasma in 1954 and continued until he was 81, making 1,173 donations despite his fear of needles. He was recognized by Guinness World Records in 2005 for his contributions, though his record was surpassed in 2022. His grandson emphasized that Harrison's motivation was to help others, and he remained humble despite the recognition he received.

Philippines dismisses ‘absurd’ Chinese online claims about Palawan
Philippine officials are refuting claims circulating among Chinese internet users that Palawan island belongs to China, dismissing them as "delusional" propaganda. The controversy stems from posts on platforms like Douyin and RedNote, some dating back to January, falsely asserting that Palawan was historically known as Zheng He Island, named after a Chinese explorer, and that China had recently "restored" this name.
These claims have sparked outrage among Filipino social media users, who emphasize Palawan's undisputed status as Philippine territory. While China has not officially claimed Palawan, which is over 1,500km from its nearest territory, some Chinese users are pushing for the island to be recognized as Chinese, with calls for its inclusion on Chinese maps of the South China Sea and the right for Chinese warships and military aircraft to operate around it.

Double lottery win reignites South Korea’s conspiracy fever
Two winning lottery tickets were sold at the same shop in Siheung, South Korea, sparking fraud accusations and demands for a government explanation. The odds of winning the South Korean lottery are about one in 8 million, so the fact that two jackpot-winning tickets came from the same shop, "Comprehensive Lottery Super," has raised suspicions.
Of the 16 total jackpot winners, 10 used the lottery's automatic number-selection system, and two of those tickets were purchased at the same shop. An anonymous post on BobaeDream questioned the likelihood of this event, given the extremely low probability of winning, and the post quickly went viral, highlighting public distrust and calls for transparency.

Nvidia and Broadcom testing chips on Intel manufacturing process, sources say
Nvidia和Broadcom正在与Intel进行芯片制造测试，这表明这两家公司对Intel的先进生产技术抱有初步信心。这两项测试表明，这些公司正朝着决定是否向Intel投入数亿美元的制造合同迈进。
如果Nvidia和Broadcom最终选择与Intel合作，将为Intel的合同制造业务带来可观的收入和声誉，该业务此前一直受到延误的困扰，尚未宣布重要的芯片设计客户。AMD也在评估Intel的18A制造工艺是否适合其需求，但目前尚不清楚该公司是否已将测试芯片送入工厂。

‘All set’: Trump goes ahead with additional 10% tariffs on China imports
美国总统特朗普周二凌晨起对中国商品加征10%的关税，此前一个月已经征收过10%的关税，同时还对加拿大和墨西哥的进口商品征收25%的关税。 特朗普政府以打击芬太尼、钢铁贸易以及追求更广泛的互惠为由，正同时推进多项贸易威胁，这些举措的时间表和具体类别常常令人困惑。
随着对加拿大和墨西哥关税的生效，美国这两个邻国也加入了中国，成为被特朗普政府挥舞制裁大棒的国家。中国商务部对美国加倍征收关税表示反对，并誓言采取反制措施，以维护自身权益。美国方面则辩称，中国的行为与打击芬太尼走私的合作不力有关，并指责中国供应用于生产芬太尼的化学品，但中方否认了这些指控。

China hits back at Trump with reciprocal tariffs, sanctions of US firms
中国宣布了针对美国新关税的反制措施，包括对部分美国商品加征10-15%的关税，并将部分美国企业列入出口管制清单和不可靠实体清单。此外，中国计划就此事向世界贸易组织提起诉讼。
具体而言，中国将对美国的家禽和农产品（包括小麦、玉米和棉花）征收15%的关税。此前，美国总统特朗普对中国和其他贸易伙伴的进口商品征收关税，其中包括将对华商品普遍关税从10%提高到20%，并对来自加拿大和墨西哥的商品征收25%的关税。中国商务部表示，强烈反对美国的这一举动，并敦促美国立即撤回不合理的单边关税，回到平等谈判解决分歧的道路上来。

60% increase in liquor trading volume after Hong Kong tax cut: commerce chief
香港商务及经济发展局局长表示，自去年10月香港政府降低酒类税收以来，酒类贸易额增长了60%，取得了“令人鼓舞”的成果。政府希望借此举将香港发展成为烈酒贸易中心，并促进餐饮、酒店、物流和仓储等相关产业的发展。
酒类税率此前为酒精度超过30%的酒类征收100%的税，在行政长官李家超宣布降低酒类税后，截至今年1月，贸易额增长了1.5倍。此外，商务及经济发展局长还表示，当局正在研究美国总统特朗普最新发布的对中国进口商品加征10%关税的命令是否包括香港。

The rattle of Okinawa: Chinese drones probe Japan’s defences
Two Chinese drones, including a reconnaissance model and an attack drone, flew near Japan last week, prompting Tokyo to scramble fighter jets and raising concerns about Beijing's military presence in the region. This incident is seen as a test of Japan's air defenses and a sign of China's increasing efforts to normalize its military activities in the area.
The drones, a BZK-005 reconnaissance model and a Chengdu GJ-2 reconnaissance and attack drone, were tracked flying between Okinawa and Miyako Island before entering the Pacific and later retreating to the East China Sea. While the drones did not enter Japanese territorial airspace, the Japanese Defense Ministry stated they are closely monitoring the situation and taking all possible measures to conduct surveillance.

How China is solving F-22’s stealth coating cracks with 3,000-year-old silk weaving tech
China claims to have found a solution to the radar-absorbent coating issues plaguing US stealth fighters by drawing inspiration from an ancient Chinese textile innovation: silk jacquard weaving. While US stealth fighters like the F-22 Raptor struggle with the rapid degradation of their radar-absorbent coatings, requiring frequent and costly maintenance, Chinese researchers suggest a more durable solution lies in a structural approach inspired by a 3,000-year-old technique.
Modern stealth aircraft rely on layered coatings to deflect radar signals, but these materials are vulnerable to damage from high-speed flight, sandstorms, and environmental factors like humidity and corrosion. Chinese aerospace engineers have criticized these "band-aid" approaches and sought a more integrated solution. A recent study revealed that a dual-layer composite fabric, inspired by Han dynasty jacquard looms, could provide the necessary resilience for China's stealth fighters.

Trump policy labels China as ‘unique economic challenge’ to US trade ambitions
The Trump administration has released its 2025 Trade Policy Agenda, outlining its global economic strategy and labeling China a "unique economic challenge." The agenda criticizes past US trade policies, claiming they squandered leverage and allowed free access to the US market without sufficient returns. It also justifies the use of tariffs as an effective tool, asserting that their costs are borne by foreign trading partners, not American consumers.
The document suggests a continuation of Trump's first-term trade policies, framing the "historic and enforceable" phase-one trade agreement with China as a promising approach that was not fully implemented, alleging that "China has not lived up to its commitments." The administration also criticizes the World Trade Organization, claiming it is "mired in a development agenda" and undermines national sovereignty. The release of this agenda comes as new tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China are set to take effect.

‘Really unique’ former Hong Kong village school should be spared demolition, pair say
香港仅存的流线型现代建筑风格的村庄小学——四山公立学校，面临拆除的命运，引发了建筑学者和文物保护爱好者的强烈反对。这座建于1952年的学校，拥有弧形结构和长水平线条，是香港为数不多的此类风格建筑之一，其设计灵感来源于自动化和空气动力学，但它尚未被评为历史建筑。
该校的浅绿色水磨石与中环街市和旧湾仔街市大楼相似，后两者均为三级历史建筑，并已活化为公共和商业用途。尽管与一级历史建筑皇都戏院同年建造，四山公立学校却面临拆除，文化遗产专家认为这是一种遗憾，他们正努力呼吁保护这座被忽视的建筑。
