Panda vs samurai: China’s panda-bond market size tops Japan’s amid yuan internationalisation
China's panda bond market, which consists of yuan-denominated debt securities issued by offshore companies, has surpassed Japan's samurai bond market in size. This growth is attributed to favorable regulations and market conditions, marking a significant step in the internationalization of the Chinese currency.
The outstanding value of panda bonds has reached US$45 billion, exceeding yen-denominated samurai bonds, although it still represents a small portion of China's overall bond market. Regulatory easing, which has simplified the issuance process for foreign entities, lower borrowing costs, and improved market conditions have fueled this expansion. The panda bond market, introduced in 2005, serves as a capital-raising platform for foreign firms targeting domestic investors and has seen increased interest following the US Federal Reserve's pause in rate hikes, attracting foreign investors seeking capital gains in Chinese bonds.

Singapore’s PM Wong clashes with Pritam Singh over GST hike – ‘poor marksmanship’
Singapore's Prime Minister Lawrence Wong defended the Goods and Services Tax (GST) hikes, stating they were not the primary driver of inflation. He attributed rising prices to global factors like wars, supply chain disruptions, and increased energy costs, countering opposition claims that the GST increases had "turbocharged" inflation.
Wong emphasized that prices were already rising globally and in Singapore before the GST increase, which was implemented in two stages over the past two years, raising the GST from 7% to 9%. He also noted that the central bank assessed the GST's inflationary impact as temporary. His comments came during the budget wrap-up speech, addressing questions about the GST hike's timing and support for workers and businesses, ahead of the upcoming general election.

3 men in Singapore charged over Nvidia server fraud linked to China
Singaporean police have charged three men for allegedly defrauding a server supplier, raising questions about the role of local intermediaries in the global distribution of Nvidia chips. The charges relate to misrepresenting the end-user of the hardware, suggesting a potential attempt to circumvent restrictions on chip exports.
The case follows reports of a US investigation into whether Chinese AI firm DeepSeek bypassed US chip sanctions with the help of Singaporean entities. While police haven't disclosed specific product details or the supplier's name, the charges involve false representations about the end-user of the items. Six other arrests have been made, with 22 individuals and companies under investigation for suspected fraud.
Singapore, with its strong trade ties to both the US and China, finds itself at the center of the ongoing tech conflict between the two nations. The potential penalties for such offenses include imprisonment of up to 20 years, underscoring the seriousness of the allegations.

Chinese military unveils new data unit to help naval commanders make decisions
中国军方成立了一个新的数据部门，旨在帮助海军指挥官做出更明智的决策，未来可能推广到其他军种。 这个海军训练部门正在组建一个“专家”团队，以加强数据资源的使用，并开发先进的训练方法，从而提升海军的作战能力。
据《解放军报》报道，在最近的一次海军演习中，数千个作战数据点被迅速分析并汇编成报告，提供给各舰艇。该部门负责人表示，仅仅拥有数据是不够的，及时处理、精确分析和有效应用对于释放数据的全部潜力至关重要。这个团队包括数据收集员和数据管理员，他们分别负责收集关键数据和组织标准化来自各种来源的数据。专家指出，该数据系统不仅支持指挥官在作战期间做出精确决策，还允许进行战后审查，识别舰艇编队在防御来袭导弹时的弱点，从而改进战术和协调。

US securities regulator files to dismiss Coinbase lawsuit under crypto-friendly Trump
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed to dismiss its lawsuit against Coinbase, the largest U.S. cryptocurrency exchange. This move effectively ends a legal battle that began in 2023, signaling a potential shift in regulatory approach under President Donald Trump.
The SEC's initial lawsuit alleged that Coinbase violated agency rules by facilitating trading in at least 13 crypto tokens that the SEC considered unregistered securities. The lawsuit also targeted Coinbase's "staking" program. Coinbase countered that crypto assets don't meet the definition of an investment contract, a view widely held in the crypto industry. The dismissal follows a similar pause in the SEC's lawsuit against Binance, suggesting a broader reassessment of crypto regulation following the establishment of a new crypto task force under the Trump administration.

Hong Kong lived-in home prices fall to lowest point in 8 years in January
Hong Kong's lived-in home prices have fallen to an eight-year low in January, declining 0.45% and bringing the index to a level unseen since August 2016. This continues a downward trend, with a 7.13% decrease in 2024, following drops of 15% in 2023 and 7% in 2022. Despite this, some analysts are optimistic that the market may bottom out in the first half of the year.
The decline is attributed to the Lunar New Year low season and pressure from developers resuming new project launches. However, factors like an improving stock market, driven in part by Beijing's efforts to support the mainland economy, and a reduction in housing supply could stabilize or even increase residential prices in the near future. The Hang Seng Index's correlation with residential prices suggests that continued stock market performance could positively impact the property market with a slight delay.

Under pressure from Trump, Mexico sends drug cartel kingpins to US
墨西哥向美国引渡了包括大毒枭拉斐尔·卡罗·昆特罗在内的29名毒枭，以避免美国实施关税制裁。卡罗·昆特罗被控在20世纪80年代下令绑架、折磨并杀害美国缉毒局特工恩里克·“奇奇”·卡马雷纳，长期以来一直是美国联邦调查局的十大通缉犯之一，直至2022年被捕。
此次引渡行动正值墨西哥努力与美国达成协议之际，旨在避免美国以非法移民和毒品流动为由，对墨西哥商品征收贸易关税。如果罪名成立，卡罗·昆特罗和其他一些毒枭可能面临死刑，美国司法部表示，检察官还将考虑对他们提出恐怖主义指控。
