Spain’s Rubiales guilty of sexual assault, fined for World Cup kiss
Former Spanish football boss Luis Rubiales has been found guilty of sexually assaulting player Jenni Hermoso and fined over €10,000 for kissing her without consent after the 2023 Women’s World Cup final. In addition to the fine, the court ordered Rubiales to stay at least 200 meters away from Hermoso and prohibited him from contacting her for a year.
While Rubiales was cleared of coercion, the incident, where he kissed Hermoso on the lips during the awards ceremony in Sydney, sparked widespread outrage and overshadowed Spain's World Cup victory. Rubiales claimed the kiss was consensual, a statement Hermoso vehemently denied. Three other Spanish federation members who were accused of pressuring Hermoso to downplay the incident were also acquitted of coercion charges.

Why Chinese leader Xi Jinping may want to accept Donald Trump’s invitation to visit US
Donald Trump表示，他期待中国国家主席习近平访问华盛顿，并称赞两人之间存在“良好”关系。此番言论正值中美双方努力稳定双边关系之际，特朗普在一个多月内两次提出邀请，显示出他对与习近平建立个人关系的重视。
分析人士认为，习近平很可能接受邀请，因为与特朗普发展个人关系符合北京的利益。尽管特朗普上任后对所有中国商品征收10%的关税，但他表示与习近平的关系“非常好”，并声称在他的第一个总统任期内达成了一项“伟大的贸易协议”。特朗普还计划很快欢迎法国和英国领导人访问华盛顿，并最终接待习近平主席，但他没有提供具体的时间表。

Hong Kong director Jun Li’s pro-Palestine speech in Berlin sparks German probe
German police are investigating after Hong Kong director Jun Li Jun-shuo read a pro-Palestine speech at the Berlin International Film Festival. The speech, delivered at the premiere of his film *Queerpanorama*, was written by Iranian actor Erfan Shekarriz, who boycotted the festival. Authorities are looking into whether the statement involved the use of symbols of unconstitutional and terrorist organizations.
The Hong Kong Immigration Department is also looking into the matter through diplomatic channels. Li is known for his 2021 film *Drifting*, which won best adapted screenplay at the Golden Horse Awards in Taiwan. The investigation raises questions about freedom of speech at international cultural events and the potential legal ramifications for those expressing controversial political views.

Murder accused’s eye contact enough to scare daughter, Hong Kong court hears
一名香港男子被控在摇晃女儿致死前数月，长期虐待自己三岁的女儿。法庭周四获悉，该男子将家庭暴力的对象从伴侣转移到女儿身上，以至于女儿与他对视都会感到害怕。
梁雅诗的母亲梁女士在高院表示，雅诗的父亲刘启平（也是她当时的伴侣）经常因为育儿方式不同与她争吵，坚持对女儿进行严厉的管教并强迫她服从。刘启平曾于2017年用腐蚀性液体袭击梁女士，导致女儿在出生后的头两年被社会福利署安排寄养。

Why is endangered axolotl Mexico’s most beloved amphibian?
The axolotl, a critically endangered salamander endemic to central Mexico, is experiencing a surge in popularity and preservation efforts. Once a sneaky god in legend, the axolotl is now a beloved symbol of identity for native people in the Xochimilco area of Mexico City, famed for its canals and pre-Hispanic agricultural systems called chinampas.
Despite its endangered status since 2019, biologists, historians, and officials are working to save the axolotl and its habitat. Yanet Cruz, head of the Chinampaxóchitl Museum, highlights the axolotl's significance to the region and its people, emphasizing the unexpected preservation phenomenon accompanying the efforts to protect this unique species.

North Korea, Iraq holiday? Hongkongers are seeking unique getaways, insiders say
香港旅游业者表示，越来越多的香港游客开始选择朝鲜、伊拉克等非常规目的地，以及日本一些不太知名的城市。这一趋势反映了游客对独特和非常规旅行体验的兴趣日益增长。
在香港会议展览中心举行的香港假日旅游博览会上，业内人士分享了他们的观察。TravPholer等旅行社注意到，与去年同期相比，人们对探索较少的地方的兴趣有所增加。通过邀请名人参加在也门等地的真人秀，展示这些地区的美丽，可能激发了游客的兴趣。该机构去年几乎每两周组织一次前往朝鲜的小型旅游团，今年1月还组织了三个前往也门的旅行团，每个团大约有10人。

‘Halt the smear campaign’: China protests against change to US State Department fact sheet
中国外交部谴责美国国务院更新的对华关系情况说明书，指责美国发起“抹黑运动”。外交部发言人郭嘉坤表示，该情况说明书歪曲事实，诋毁中国外交政策，鼓吹所谓战略竞争，对此中国强烈不满和坚决反对。中方敦促美国停止误导美国人民和国际社会，停止对中国的抹黑和施压。
美国国务院2月13日发布了修订后的中国情况说明书，其中将美中关系定义为战略竞争，并新增了“应对中国对美国利益构成的直接挑战”的表述。情况说明书还列举了中国在贸易、网络活动、芬太尼前体贩运、操纵国际组织以及人权方面的“不当行为”，并声称美国致力于遏制中国的“侵略”，反击其“不公平贸易政策”。此外，新版本删除了此前版本中关于美国援助中国、保护西藏文化、提升环境标准和人权的内容，并将“中华人民共和国”改称为“中国”。

China approves RedNote’s AI translation along with 5 other models
Shanghai's internet regulator has approved six new generative AI services for public use, including a translation tool from the popular Chinese social platform RedNote. This approval comes as RedNote experienced a surge in overseas users amidst uncertainty surrounding TikTok's future in the United States. The newly approved services also include an AI assistant for the upcoming Global Developer Conference in Shanghai.
The RedNote translator, officially named Xiaohongshu Fanyi, is owned by Xingyin Information Technology (Shanghai). This approval is part of a larger trend, with the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) having approved 74 large language models (LLMs) in Shanghai and over 300 nationwide since implementing GenAI regulations in August 2023. RedNote launched its in-app translation feature in late January in response to an influx of users seeking alternatives to TikTok due to potential bans in the US.

Taiwan bans academic exchanges with 3 mainland Chinese universities
台湾已禁止其大学与隶属于中国共产党统战部的中国大陆机构合作，并且将不承认这些机构的学位。此举旨在阻止台湾人就读这些学校，并反击北京方面对台湾施加影响力的行为。教育部长郑英耀表示，与统战部有关联的中国大陆大学带有政治目的，而非纯粹的学术目的，因此必须停止合作和交流，以防止政治影响渗透。
该禁令特别针对三所大陆机构：广州的暨南大学、厦门和泉州的华侨大学以及北京华文学院。此举引发了对倾向独立的民进党政府的强烈反对，批评人士认为，此举进一步限制了被认为是改善台湾海峡两岸相互理解至关重要的交流类型。

Interns expose dark side of medical training in Nepal
Healthcare workers at a leading university hospital in Nepal are calling for an investigation into the suicide attempt of a colleague, alleging academic and workplace harassment. The incident has brought to light the harsh realities of medical residency programs in the country, including grueling training, mental distress, and power imbalances.
Interns at Dhulikhel Hospital revealed the grim working conditions within the psychiatry department, claiming that a first-year resident's suicide attempt on Sunday prompted them to speak out. They allege that residents face constant verbal abuse and threats from professors, with some even being told to "go and kill themselves." Doctors at the hospital corroborated these claims, citing fear of retaliation as the reason for their previous silence, and described the professors' behavior as "mental torture."

From the ashes of Gaza, the Global South must build another world
The ongoing destruction in Gaza highlights the failures of the US-led world order, prompting calls for the Global South to unite and forge a shared future. The conflict has exposed a stark contrast between the UN's founding mission of preventing atrocities and the current reality, particularly given the involvement of Israel and the US, countries that emerged from the ashes of the Holocaust and World War II, respectively.
Adding to the global outrage, Donald Trump's proposal to displace Palestinians and transform Gaza has been widely condemned as a potential second Nakba. The Gaza war has also significantly damaged the US's global standing, with surveys indicating a shift in favor towards China in regions like Southeast Asia. In response, countries like Malaysia, led by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, are actively criticizing the war and seeking accountability through international bodies like the International Court of Justice, while also working to support Gaza's reconstruction.

In Philippines, fears of ‘cyber cold war’ amid surge in online threats
菲律宾通信部长Ivan Uy警告称，网络空间正在发生“第三次世界大战”，这一说法加剧了安全分析师对“网络冷战”的担忧。此前，菲律宾政府检测到外国势力试图访问其情报数据，虽然未造成任何数据泄露，但网络威胁的激增引发了人们对国家网络安全的担忧。
Uy指出，一些通常由国家支持的高级持续性威胁（APT）多次试图渗透菲律宾政府系统，但均未成功。今年1月，他还证实总统办公室的系统遭受攻击，但否认有敏感军事信息被盗。这些事件表明，菲律宾正面临着日益严峻的网络安全挑战，需要不断加强网络防御能力。

Number of people on remand in Hong Kong jails hits 24-year high
香港在囚人口持续上升，2024年还押人数创下24年来的新高，比去年增加了18%。与此同时，因国家安全和反政府抗议活动服刑的囚犯人数首次出现下降。惩教署署长黄国兴表示，监狱人口的增加对惩教机构的管治和安全构成了“严峻挑战”。
黄国兴在年度审查中还透露，当局没有修订法律禁止受监管人士出国旅行，而是要求他们在离开香港前寻求批准。此前，在2023年，社运人士钟翰林在受监管期间于英国寻求政治庇护，惩教署曾考虑禁止受监管人士离境。在与律政司商议后，惩教署认为现有法律有足够权力增加新的监管条件，并已实施相关安排，要求所有受监管人士在离开香港前提出申请。

Can China still play a role as peacemaker in Ukraine after US-Russia talks?
美国和俄罗斯官员本周在沙特阿拉伯举行了关于乌克兰问题的首次会谈，但此次会议排除了乌克兰和欧洲代表，这引发了欧洲大陆的担忧，即特朗普可能愿意牺牲乌克兰的利益，以期与普京达成协议。中国表示乐见美俄会谈，但补充说所有利益相关者都应参与谈判。
据报道，北京愿意为任何和平协议提供安全保障，一些观察家认为它希望发挥维和作用，但对其承诺的程度以及乌克兰和俄罗斯是否会接受其参与仍存在疑问。在冲突的早期阶段，西方国家曾希望中国利用其对俄罗斯的影响力，但中国对谴责战争的犹豫以及据称供应支持普京战争的双重用途商品破坏了其和平努力，并引起了很多批评。

China’s cleantech dominance to wane amid overcapacity, trade curbs: S&P Global
S&P Global预测，由于产能过剩、国内经济疲软、全球需求放缓以及出口壁垒等因素，中国在全球清洁技术市场的主导地位将减弱。具体而言，中国在太阳能光伏组件制造领域的份额将从去年的70%降至2030年的65%，电池制造领域的份额将从去年的80%降至61%。
报告指出，中国清洁技术设备，尤其是光伏组件、风力涡轮机和电池的供应过剩，虽然推动了全球可再生能源装机量的激增，但也大幅压低了过去两年的价格。尽管中国政府和行业协会试图控制清洁技术制造业的产能过剩和价格竞争，但其效果以及未来的前景仍不明朗。此外，中国国内经济的疲软、国际需求放缓以及美国和欧洲的贸易限制，都可能进一步削弱中国在全球清洁技术供应链中的主导地位。

China and Thailand join forces to tackle multibillion-dollar scam crisis in Myanmar
Around 10,000 scam workers have been rescued in a crackdown on cyber fraud operations along the Myanmar-Thailand border, with the first flights carrying Chinese nationals departing on Thursday. This high-profile operation aims to demonstrate the dismantling of crime syndicates profiting from the illegal trade.
Despite these efforts, concerns remain about the long-term effectiveness of the crackdown. The illicit industry generates tens of billions of dollars annually, primarily benefiting alleged Chinese crime bosses and their protectors in Myanmar border regions controlled by warlords and ethnic armed militias. The Myawaddy area of Myanmar is a major hub for these scams, where individuals are often lured by fake job offers and forced to commit fraud under threat of torture. Under pressure from China, Thailand has cut internet links and fuel supplies to the border hubs, and an ethnic armed group allied with the Myanmar junta claims to have shut down numerous scam operations.
