Global shift gives Putin ‘breathing room’ to give Myanmar junta Russian arms amid isolation
Myanmar军政府领导人敏昂莱近日访问俄罗斯,凸显了该国在东南亚日益孤立的处境,同时也为莫斯科扩大在该地区的影响力提供了机会。外界普遍认为,缅甸军政府此行可能寻求从俄罗斯购买更多军备,包括无人机技术。
自2021年2月缅甸军方推翻昂山素季领导的民选政府以来,敏昂莱已四次访问俄罗斯。面对来自西方的孤立、经济和政治制裁,缅甸军政府采取暴力手段镇压反对派,并正在应对国内各派武装力量的冲突。普京在克里姆林宫举行的电视会议上表示,俄缅两国关系稳步发展,双方在发展贸易关系方面具有巨大潜力。

Young South Korean men and women deeply divided on politics, survey shows
一项新的调查显示,韩国年轻选民的意识形态比老一代人更加分裂。20多岁的男性倾向于保守主义,而同龄女性则主要支持自由主义政治,这引发了人们对该国日益加剧的两极分化的担忧。首尔国立大学和《朝鲜日报》联合委托进行的这项民意调查,将受访者的意识形态取向按1到10的等级划分,分数越高表明保守倾向越强。
调查结果显示,20多岁的男性平均得分为5.42,而同一年龄段的女性平均得分为4.64。《朝鲜日报》在周五发布的结果报告中指出,在其他年龄段中没有观察到如此明显的差距。此外,近30%的年轻男性受访者支持保守派执政的人民力量党,比支持主要反对派自由民主党的受访者多出约5个百分点。这项调查于2月25日至26日进行,调查了全国1546名男性和女性。

US-China trade war weighs heavily on Filipino minds, survey finds
一项新的调查显示,菲律宾人担心自己会成为美中贸易战的牺牲品。72%的菲律宾受访者表示,他们对贸易战感到担忧,并认为这场冲突将直接影响他们的生计。这项调查结果突显了在与北京持续存在海上紧张关系的情况下,人们对日益加剧的经济不稳定的担忧。
WR Numero总裁兼首席执行官Cleve Arguelles表示,南海问题已经成为公众讨论的焦点,与通货膨胀和就业保障等“鱼米问题”并列。小马科斯总统在他的参议院候选人竞选演讲中,将这个问题放在了重要位置。菲律宾人可能认为,美国和中国之间酝酿的贸易冲突可能会扰乱经济,物价上涨和就业不稳定将直接影响他们的生活。

New Zealand spy chief warns about China’s influence in the Pacific
New Zealand's top intelligence official is raising concerns about China's growing influence in the Pacific, particularly after the Cook Islands deepened ties with Beijing. The Security Intelligence Service Director General, Andrew Hampton, stated that his agency will increase its scrutiny of the Cook Islands due to these strengthened connections.
Hampton highlighted that Pacific nations' focus on economic and transnational crime has created opportunities for China to establish strategic agreements linking "economic and security cooperation." He warned that China aims to "create competing regional architectures and expand its influence," posing risks of foreign interference and espionage. This comes after the Cook Islands signed agreements with China covering various sectors, including education, infrastructure, and seabed mining, following similar deals between Beijing and other Pacific nations aimed at boosting economic development.

‘Two sessions’ 2025: how can China get its private sector back on track?
中国首条民营控股高铁面临挑战,开通半年仍处于亏损状态。这条连接温州和杭州的218公里高铁线路,是中国首批由民营资本主导投资、建设和运营的高铁项目之一,旨在通过引入私营资本,提振民营企业信心,并为基础设施建设提供新的资金来源。
作为中国经济领域开放民营投资的早期试点,该项目备受关注。然而,运营六个月后,该线路仍未实现盈利,且民营联合体在扭转局面方面面临诸多限制。这反映了中国民营企业在参与大型基础设施项目时所面临的更广泛挑战,以及政府如何平衡国家主导与市场化运作之间的关系。

China fresh-tea brand Chagee follows Mixue, Guming in IPO rush with New York plan
Chinese tea-drink maker Chagee has received approval from Chinese regulators for a US IPO, following competitor Mixue's successful Hong Kong debut. Chagee plans to issue up to 64.7 million shares, listing on either the Nasdaq or NYSE, though the listing date is yet to be determined. This move signifies the accelerating trend of Chinese consumer companies seeking IPOs after pledges from regulators to support fundraising.
Chagee's IPO progress comes on the heels of Mixue's impressive Hong Kong IPO, which raised $444 million and saw shares jump significantly on the first day, driven by overwhelming retail investor interest. Similarly, Guming raised $232 million in a Hong Kong IPO in February, further highlighting the growing momentum for Chinese tea and beverage companies in the public market.

China online shops sell ‘bank soil’ from top institutions for US$120, claims it brings wealth
中国出现了一种名为“银行土”的商品在网上热销,卖家声称这些土壤取自中国各大银行外,可以给买家带来财富和好运。这些所谓的“银行土”价格不菲,有的甚至高达888元人民币一份。
据称,这些“银行土”来源于银行外的绿化带、银行大厅内的盆栽,甚至是从点钞机里收集的灰尘。有卖家提供四种类型的土壤,声称是从中国银行、工商银行、农业银行、建设银行和交通银行五大银行收集而来,最便宜的一份也要24元人民币。一位销售代表表示,这些土壤是他们手工从五大银行收集的,据信可以增加财富、化解不良能量,但他们无法科学地证明这一点,并补充说这些土壤是在晚上从银行前的绿化带收集的。

South Korean court orders release of impeached President Yoon Suk-yeol
韩国法院取消了对被弹劾总统尹锡悦的逮捕令,为他在因短暂实施戒严令而被指控叛乱、于1月中旬被捕后获释铺平了道路。 这一消息由韩联社报道,但首尔中央地方法院的发言人尚未对此发表评论。
此前,调查人员指控尹锡悦的戒严令等同于叛乱,若罪名成立,他将面临死刑或终身监禁。此外,尹锡悦还在去年12月被议员弹劾,宪法法院将决定是否正式结束其总统职务或恢复其职位。如果宪法法院维持弹劾,他将被正式罢免,并在两个月内举行全国选举以选出继任者。

‘So you know Blackpink, but not Lisa?’: Bong Joon-ho cops flak from Thai fans
South Korean director Bong Joon-ho is facing criticism from some Thai netizens who accuse him of "racial discrimination" against Blackpink member Lisa. This stems from a recent interview where he named Rose, Jisoo, and Jennie as his favorite Blackpink members, seemingly omitting Lisa.
The interview, conducted by BuzzFeed Celeb as part of promotions for Bong's new film *Mickey 17*, featured a lighthearted "puppy interview" format. While many were surprised by Bong's familiarity with Blackpink, some Thai fans interpreted his failure to mention Lisa as a slight, sparking accusations of racial bias. Bong has previously mentioned Blackpink in other interviews, even referencing them in connection with a martial law declaration by President Yoon Suk-yeol.

US offers US$10 million reward for ex-Olympian turned drug lord Ryan Wedding
美国悬赏1000万美元,以获取能逮捕加拿大前奥运单板滑雪运动员Ryan Wedding的信息,他因毒品和谋杀指控被通缉。 Wedding同时被列入FBI“十大通缉要犯”名单,据信他目前身处墨西哥或其他拉丁美洲国家。
FBI洛杉矶办事处助理主任Akil Davis表示,Wedding从奥运赛场的滑雪运动员沦为在美国和加拿大街头贩卖可卡因的毒贩,涉嫌谋杀竞争对手更使其成为极其危险的人物。Wedding可能化名“El Jefe”、“Giant”或“Public Enemy”,并可能受到锡那罗亚贩毒集团的庇护。2024年拍摄的照片显示,他戴着镶满亮片的洛杉矶道奇队帽子,留着浓密的胡子。

Chinese maths star solves geometry problem, Hong Kong actor bankrupt: SCMP’s 7 highlights
Chinese mathematician Wang Hong has achieved a significant breakthrough by solving the Kakeya conjecture in three dimensions. This "infamous" geometry problem's solution is expected to have wide-ranging implications for fields such as imaging, data processing, cryptography, and wireless communication, marking a major advancement in theoretical mathematics with practical applications.
Meanwhile, contrasting economic visions emerged from China and the United States this week. Chinese Premier Li Qiang announced plans for increased government spending to stimulate economic growth, while US President Donald Trump pledged to reduce the size of the federal government to balance the budget. These divergent approaches highlight differing philosophies on the role of government in shaping economic outcomes.

Is a light-speed chip unveiled by China-led team the future of ultra-fast processing?
An international team led by Peking University has developed a 100 GHz chip that uses light instead of electricity for processor synchronization, potentially revolutionizing high-speed AI computing. This innovation could also significantly impact next-generation communications and remote sensing technologies.
The chip's all-optical design reimagines clock signal generation, paving the way for faster and more efficient computing. Traditional CPUs rely on clock signals to synchronize internal functions, with processor speed (measured in GHz) determining how quickly instructions are executed. By using light, this new chip overcomes limitations of traditional, electricity-based systems.

China’s export growth slows as US tariffs bite
中国2025年前两个月的出口增长放缓,仅增长2.3%,与2024年12月的10.7%和去年同期的7.1%相比显著下降。这一放缓可能与企业赶在美国加征关税前集中出口有关。同时,进口也大幅下降,同比下降8.4%,为2023年7月以来的最大降幅。
美国总统特朗普在2月4日对中国商品加征了10%的关税,并在周二再次加征10%的关税。作为回应,中国也采取了反制措施,对部分美国进口商品加征关税。尽管进出口均有所下降,但中国前两个月的贸易顺差总额仍达到1705亿美元,高于2024年同期的1251亿美元。
