Israel army admits ‘complete failure’ on October 7, says it underestimated Hamas
一份以色列军方内部调查报告承认，以军在阻止哈马斯2023年10月7日的袭击中“彻底失败”，并表示多年来低估了该组织的能力。 这次袭击导致数百名以色列人死亡，并引发了加沙地带的毁灭性战争，造成数万名巴勒斯坦人死亡。
一位不愿透露姓名的高级军官表示，以军未能完成保护以色列平民的任务。“太多平民在那一天死去，他们在心中或大声质问，以色列国防军在哪里。” 报告总结称，以色列国防军未能保护以色列公民，加沙师在战争初期被击溃，恐怖分子控制了该地区的社区和道路并实施了屠杀。该军官解释说，军队“过于自信”，并在袭击前错误地估计了哈马斯的军事能力。

US condemns Thailand’s deporting of 40 Uygurs to China
美国政府强烈谴责泰国将至少40名维吾尔族人遣返回中国，并敦促其他国家不要强行遣返寻求庇护的维吾尔族人。美国国务卿Marco Rubio在一份声明中表示，泰国政府必须坚持并充分核实中国当局保护这些维吾尔族人的人权。
此前，泰国和中国官员宣布，这批已在泰国被拘留超过十年的40名维吾尔族男子已被遣返回中国。上个月，这些男子曾公开呼吁停止遣返，称他们在中国面临监禁甚至可能的死亡。联合国人权事务高级专员Volker Türk也表示，此次遣返“明显违反了国际人权法和标准”，并对此表示“深感遗憾”。

Seoul says North Korea has deployed more troops to Russia
据韩国情报机构透露，朝鲜已向俄罗斯增派士兵，并将部分兵力重新部署到库尔斯克前线。此前有报道称，去年朝鲜向俄罗斯派遣了一万多名士兵，以协助其对抗乌克兰在库尔斯克边境地区的攻势。尽管此前有消息称，在库尔斯克前线与俄军并肩作战的朝鲜士兵自1月中旬以来没有参与战斗，甚至有报道称他们因损失惨重而被撤回，但最新情报显示他们已被重新部署。
韩国国家情报院的官员表示，除了重新部署之外，似乎还有一些额外的部队部署。这一消息表明，朝鲜可能正在加强其在俄乌冲突中的军事存在，尽管具体原因和影响尚不明确。西方情报机构也对此表示关注，正在密切监测局势发展。

Singer Katy Perry and Bezos’ fiancée to fly to space on Blue Origin rocket
Pop star Katy Perry will be part of an all-female crew of six on Blue Origin's next space flight this spring. The company announced the star-studded journey, which will also include journalist Lauren Sanchez, fiancée of Blue Origin owner Jeff Bezos, and CBS Mornings co-host Gayle King.
Blue Origin began launching wealthy tourists and celebrities into suborbital space in 2021 aboard its New Shepard rocket. The flights typically last 10-11 minutes, providing passengers with a few minutes of microgravity as the capsule surpasses the Karman line, the internationally recognized boundary of space. To date, the company has flown 52 people to space across 10 crewed missions from its Launch Site One in West Texas.

Trump says tariffs on Chinese imports will double to 20 per cent and go into effect next week
美国总统特朗普宣布，将对所有中国进口商品征收的关税从原定的10%提高到20%，于下周二生效。此举标志着与中国的经济对抗显著升级，目标是价值数十亿美元的双边贸易。
特朗普在社交媒体上发布了这一消息，理由是中国在芬太尼毒品贸易中的作用。“很大一部分毒品，特别是芬太尼，是在中国制造和供应的，”特朗普表示。他还宣布，将对所有来自墨西哥和加拿大的进口商品征收25%的关税，理由是他们未能充分阻止跨境贩运活动。这些关税也将于下周二生效。

‘18 months needed to update 17,000 Octopus card readers for HK$2 fare change’
Hong Kong's HK$2 transport fare scheme will not see its new pricing model implemented until September of next year due to the extensive updates, checks, and tests required for 17,000 Octopus card readers on vehicles and ferries. Secretary for Labour and Welfare Chris Sun Yuk-han explained the delay is necessary to ensure the accuracy and functionality of the updated system.
The proposed changes, announced in Wednesday's budget, include capping the number of trips at 240 per month and charging 20% of the full fare for trips exceeding HK$10. Sun also revealed that only a small fraction of users, about 360 elderly or disabled individuals, take more than 240 trips a month. The government aims to complete the update process in 18 months, a shorter timeframe than the 26 months it took to update the card readers when the age threshold for the concessionary fare was lowered previously.

How Chinese PLA’s latest forays off Australia cap years of maritime tensions
China's recent naval drills in the Tasman Sea, off the coast of Australia, have heightened tensions in the Indo-Pacific region. These drills are viewed as a demonstration of China's growing naval power and its assertiveness in the South China Sea and Taiwan Strait, areas where its territorial claims and actions are contested.
China's expansive claims in the South China Sea are disputed by several Southeast Asian nations. The Taiwan Strait is an even more sensitive issue, as Beijing considers Taiwan a part of China and opposes any foreign naval presence there. Australia, while not having territorial disputes with China, has increased its naval presence in the region, signaling its commitment to freedom of navigation and regional security, aligning with the US and other Western allies in countering China's growing influence.

Will Donald Trump’s US immigration ‘gold cards’ appeal to China’s ultra-rich?
Donald Trump's proposed "gold card" immigration scheme, offering permanent residency to those investing US$5 million in the US, may face a lukewarm reception from wealthy Chinese investors due to uncertainties surrounding its implementation and vetting procedures. Immigration consultants express concern over the lack of specific details, potentially deterring ultra-rich individuals who prioritize long-term stability and predictability in their investment decisions.
The scheme, intended to replace the EB-5 visa program popular among Chinese immigrants, could also present challenges to China's anti-corruption efforts. While China's current economic climate might increase the appeal of diversifying wealth abroad, the lack of clarity in the new plan may prompt a cautious "wait and see" approach from potential investors, especially given the risks associated with future policy changes.

Hong Kong lawmaker denies minister’s claim axing student subsidy was discussed
Hong Kong's finance chief is facing criticism from lawmakers over the decision to cut a HK$2,500 annual grant for nearly 800,000 students. Legislators argue the move, aimed at addressing the HK$87.2 billion deficit, could negatively impact students' studies, with one representative from the educational functional constituency denying the government consulted the sector beforehand.
Financial Secretary Paul Chan defended the decision, stating the Education Bureau communicated with sector representatives, though he didn't name them. He acknowledged the impact of spending cuts but urged understanding given the tight budget. However, lawmaker Chu Kwok-keung, representing the education sector, refuted Chan's claim, stating neither the Education Bureau nor other authorities consulted him on abolishing the student subsidies.

HSBC cutting 900 staff at China digital wealth unit Pinnacle, sources say
汇丰银行重申了对中国大陆市场的承诺，尽管有消息称其数字财富管理业务 Pinnacle 正在大幅裁员，人数接近一半，约 900 人。汇丰表示，其目标是成为中国大陆领先的面向大众富裕阶层和高净值客户的国际财富管理机构，并且 2024 年在中国大陆的投资资产增长了 61%。
Pinnacle 成立于 2020 年，通过数字平台销售保险和基金产品。此次裁员反映了汇丰银行在中国市场面临的增长和盈利挑战，尤其是在该行削减成本以提高回报的背景下。此前有报道称，汇丰银行已开始调查 Pinnacle 的员工薪酬结构和供应商是否虚报费用，导致成本大幅上升，超过了收入增长。

SHKP’s earnings drop as slowdown erodes asset value amid dampened sentiment
香港最大的开发商新鸿基地产(SHKP)报告称，由于香港房地产市场低迷导致其投资物业价值缩水，中期利润下降了近五分之一。截至12月31日的六个月，净利润同比下降18%至75亿港元（9.677亿美元），这其中包含了其资产公允价值下降29亿港元的影响。不过，销售额增长了45%，接近400亿港元。
新鸿基地产主席兼董事总经理郭炳联表示，对美国降息预期的降低，以及地缘政治紧张局势加剧和贸易政策不可预测性增加带来的不确定性，都抑制了商业信心和经济活动的增长。他补充说，新鸿基地产将努力控制其资产负债率，并通过其租赁物业和非房地产业务组合建立可观的经常性收入，同时旨在通过加快房屋销售来产生更多现金。集团预计今年将推出多个项目，包括观塘Millennity下的购物中心和位于启德地铁站旁的The Cullinan Sky Mall。位于西九龙的国际 Gateway 中心，拥有 260 万平方英尺的办公空间，预计将于 2026 年开始交付。

Typical ‘protectionism’: China slams US port-fee proposal, warns of retaliation
中国商务部强烈谴责美国拟议的港口收费和对铜加征关税计划，并誓言采取必要反制措施。商务部称美国的行为是“典型的单边主义和保护主义”，严重违反了世界贸易组织的规则，并警告美国“不要重蹈覆辙”。
商务部发言人何亚东表示，如果美国推进港口收费，将推高全球航运成本，扰乱全球供应链的稳定，还会增加美国的通胀压力，削弱美国商品的全球竞争力，最终反噬其自身经济和就业市场。美国贸易代表办公室（USTR）提议对中国建造的船舶征收高额港口费用，并调查对铜进口征收新关税的可能性，这些举措加剧了两国之间的贸易紧张关系。

Civil servant pay freeze should not majorly impact Hong Kong’s private sector

香港财政司司长陈茂波在他的预算演讲中宣布，为了缓解 872 亿港元的赤字，未来财政年度所有公务员的薪资将被冻结，并在 2027 年 4 月前裁减 10,000 个职位。尽管许多公司预计不会效仿，但一些行业观察家认为这些措施对于解决香港的赤字是必要的，并且可以为私营部门提供参考，因为许多公司已经在 1 月份进行了薪酬审查。香港中文大学管理学系高级讲师徐宝蓉表示，政府在做出此类决定时已经是最慢的，冻结薪资是政府想要控制人力的“强烈信号”。

China’s shipbuilding, bid for 2030 maths Olympics: SCMP daily highlights
The US is attempting to counter China's economic influence in several key sectors, but faces potential challenges. A proposed US port fee aims to weaken China's dominant shipbuilding industry. However, it's uncertain whether Asian allies can compensate for the potential production shortfall.
In other developments, former US President Trump avoided a direct commitment to defend Taiwan, despite ongoing tensions with mainland China, while emphasizing his relationship with President Xi Jinping. Additionally, Trump's efforts to secure rare earth minerals from Greenland and Ukraine to challenge China's dominance in this sector may be hampered by the actual distribution of global reserves.

China takes leading role in setting global standards for senior care robots
Chinese experts have played a leading role in developing international standards for senior care robots, potentially accelerating the technology's commercialization. These standards, created by an International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) working group, provide guidelines for the design, manufacturing, and certification of robots specifically designed to assist elderly populations.
The IEC working group, comprised of experts from multiple countries and co-led by Chinese and Korean representatives, has defined key functional requirements for eldercare robots. These requirements cover crucial areas such as health monitoring, emergency response, and mobility assistance. China's growing prominence in the humanoid robot industry, coupled with predictions of mass production and commercialization by 2025, positions it as a significant player in the future of senior care robotics.
