Arab states’ Gaza recovery plan fails to sway Trump as US insists on ‘Riviera’ vision
美国总统特朗普拒绝了一项由阿拉伯国家提出的加沙重建计划，该计划旨在反驳特朗普提出的将加沙改造成豪华地中海度假胜地的提议。这项新的泛阿拉伯计划未能说服特朗普放弃其争议性提议，即美国占领加沙地带，并在强行驱逐当地巴勒斯坦居民后将其重新开发。
这项由阿拉伯国家联盟批准的计划，基于世界银行和联合国开发计划署的评估，预计加沙重建成本为530亿美元。该计划设想了一个为期五年、分三个阶段的恢复过程，且不涉及任何人口迁移。分析人士认为，阿拉伯国家的计划是对特朗普“中东里维埃拉”提议的回应，旨在表达阿拉伯领导人的团结立场，但白宫方面表示特朗普坚持其重建加沙的愿景，即“摆脱哈马斯”。

MWC 2025: Chinese AI firm iFlyTek eyes Europe expansion as US trade war heats up
Chinese AI firm iFlyTek is planning to expand its European business in response to rising trade tensions between the US and China. The company aims to diversify its supply chain and mitigate the impact of tariffs, particularly after the US imposed new tariffs on Chinese electronics.
iFlyTek, which currently operates in France and Hungary, plans to open an office in Paris within the next year. While North America remains a significant market for the company outside of China, the increasing trade friction is prompting a strategic shift towards Europe to ensure business continuity and growth.

Pay freezes won’t fix Hong Kong’s chronic fiscal problems
Hong Kong's latest budget, unveiled by Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po, focuses on balancing fiscal responsibility with economic recovery through revenue increases and controlled spending, but it underscores the city's ongoing struggle with long-term fiscal issues. Key measures include a pay freeze for civil servants, alongside plans to reduce 10,000 government positions through natural attrition over the next two years, and an extension of the productivity enhancement program to cut recurrent expenditures by 7% by the 2027-2028 financial year.
These cost-cutting efforts are in response to an anticipated HK$87.2 billion deficit for the current financial year; however, despite these measures, the civil service bureau's staff-related spending has increased significantly, comprising nearly 26% of the government's operating expenditure. While the government hopes to alleviate fiscal pressures, some believe these measures are temporary fixes that do not fully address the underlying structural inefficiencies in public finances.

Malaysia’s corruption carousel: here we go again, with Ismail Sabri third ex-PM implicated
前马来西亚总理伊斯梅尔·萨布里因涉嫌腐败正在接受调查，这在马来西亚引发了强烈反响。 这次调查与在他高级助手运营的安全屋内查获的价值 3860 万美元的现金、黄金和其他物品有关。这一消息之所以令人震惊，不仅因为伊斯梅尔·萨布里成为嫌疑人，更因为查获的现金、16 根金条和豪华宇舶手表的数量巨大。
马来西亚反腐败委员会 (MACC) 的这一宣布使伊斯梅尔·萨布里成为马来西亚第三位面临腐败调查的前总理，此前他的前任穆希丁·亚辛和目前在狱中的纳吉布·拉扎克也面临类似指控。穆希丁两年前被指控滥用职权和洗钱，涉及据称在他 2020 年 3 月至 2021 年 8 月担任总理期间收受的 5280 万美元贿赂。纳吉布则因与从丑闻缠身的 1MDB 前子公司 SRC International 挪用的 950 万美元资金相关的类似罪行，正在服刑六年。

Ex-Facebook director pens ‘explosive’ memoir about the ‘careless’ people running Meta
A tell-all memoir titled "Careless People," written by Meta's former director of global public policy Sarah Wynn-Williams, is set to be released on March 11, promising an "explosive dispatch" about her seven years at Facebook/Meta. The book will reportedly expose the inner workings of Meta, including details about the behaviors and priorities of top executives like Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg.
According to the publisher, Flatiron Books, Wynn-Williams' memoir will delve into Zuckerberg's attempts to expand Meta's reach into China, as well as her own initiatives to push the company to more actively monitor and address hate speech and misinformation on its platforms. The book aims to paint a picture of Meta's leadership as "profoundly flawed, self-interested, and careless," suggesting a critical perspective on the company's impact and internal dynamics.

‘Innovative aircraft processing plant planned for Hong Kong’s Northern Metropolis’
A leading French aeronautic services company plans to establish an aircraft parts processing and trading center in Hong Kong's Northern Metropolis, a first for Asia, potentially creating thousands of jobs and opening up a valuable new industry. Financial Secretary Paul Chan is expected to announce details of the project and the partnership with the French firm next week.
This initiative aligns with Beijing's call for Hong Kong to enhance international collaboration and contribute to China's further opening up, particularly amidst US-China tensions. The plan to develop Hong Kong as a regional hub for aircraft parts was initially outlined in Chan's recent budget address, where he mentioned a memorandum of understanding between the Airport Authority and an overseas aeronautic services company to explore services like aircraft dismantling, parts recycling, and training. Chan later confirmed the partner was a prominent French aerospace company.

SpaceX loses contact with Starship spacecraft in test flight
SpaceX's Starship, the world's largest rocket, experienced another setback on Thursday as contact was lost minutes into its test flight, causing the spacecraft to tumble uncontrollably. This occurred nearly two months after a previous explosion sent debris raining down on Turks and Caicos.
The 123-meter rocket launched from Texas, with the first-stage booster successfully returning to the launch pad. However, the spacecraft's engines began shutting down during its eastward trajectory, intended for a controlled entry over the Indian Ocean. The mission, which aimed to reach an altitude of 150km and last an hour, ultimately failed to release mock satellites and its final resting place remains unclear. Despite the setback, SpaceX remains committed to using Starship for future NASA lunar landings and Elon Musk's ambitions for Mars exploration.

Hong Kong home sales poised for best month in a year as Hava, Yoho West Parkside sell out
Hong Kong's property market is experiencing a surge in activity, with developers on track for their best sales month in a year, potentially reaching 2,500 new flats sold in March. This boost is attributed to a recent stock market rally and a reduction in stamp duties, incentivizing homebuyers and driving transaction volumes.
Several developers have reported strong sales figures, including Kerry Properties, Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP), and Henderson Land Development. Kerry Properties' Hava project in Yuen Long has seen significant interest, while SHKP sold all 119 flats at Yoho West Parkside. The positive momentum follows Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po's decision to cut stamp duties on smaller flats, further stimulating the market and leading to the best weekend for new home sales in four months. Property agencies predict that March's sales volume will surpass November's figures, signaling a notable recovery in Hong Kong's property sector.

Europe rallies behind Zelensky as US announces new talks with Ukraine
欧盟领导人在一次危机峰会上团结支持乌克兰，并同意加强欧盟的防御力量，与此同时，华盛顿方面表示，与基辅的会谈已重回正轨，以确保与俄罗斯达成停火协议。 乌克兰总统泽连斯基前往布鲁塞尔，此前一周，他与美国总统特朗普在白宫的争吵导致华盛顿切断了对基辅的军事援助和情报共享。
泽连斯基此后努力修复关系，美国负责俄罗斯-乌克兰冲突的特使宣布计划举行新的谈判。美国特使史蒂夫·维特科夫表示，他对泽连斯基的“道歉”感到满意，并计划前往沙特阿拉伯与乌克兰谈判代表讨论与俄罗斯的“初步停火”以及更长协议的“框架”。基辅一位高级官员表示，预计乌克兰和美国代表团将于周二在利雅得会面。泽连斯基告诉欧盟领导人，乌克兰和美国的谈判代表已经“恢复工作”，并表示“我们希望下周能举行一次有意义的会议”。

随着特朗普可能再次入主白宫，中美在贸易、技术和地缘政治领域的竞争预计将加剧。 这引发了一个关键问题：除了两位领导人之外，还有哪些关键决策者在引导着这两个超级大国，尤其是在世界秩序面临十字路口之际？
特朗普为他的第二个任期做出了许多令人惊讶的人事选择，从内阁职位到关键顾问角色，他启用了非正统的人物，包括政治新手和未经考验的局外人，来担任华盛顿的关键职位，包括那些负责美国贸易政策、国家安全和监管技术的职位。 其中一些人对于国际社会来说是新面孔，并且几乎没有或根本没有与中国相关事务的经验。 然而，特朗普政府中也有其他一些高级官员，他们要么有与北京打交道的记录，要么是长期的对华鹰派。

Trump open to again extending TikTok deadline if necessary
美国总统特朗普表示，如果到4月5日仍未达成交易，他“可能”会延长中国拥有的社交视频应用TikTok的出售期限。 特朗普周四在白宫回答有关该应用状态的问题时表示，他对TikTok“非常感兴趣”，并且“目前我们至少还有一个月的期限，所以我们不需要延期”。
与此同时，特朗普表示，如有必要，他愿意延长最后期限。他补充说：“如果我需要延期，我可能会得到延期。”他还表示，中国将在交易中发挥作用，并希望中国批准该交易，但他没有具体说明感兴趣的买家。此前，一项两党法案设定了1月19日为中国母公司字节跳动出售该应用程序的最后期限，该服务在美国的运营一度暂时停止。

Trump’s policies are accelerating the financial pivot to China
A recent public disagreement between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky revealed Trump's limitations in understanding international relations and his unsuitability for geopolitical mediation. Zelensky's directness exposed the contrast between a wartime leader and Trump's lack of military experience, highlighting Trump's transactional approach to diplomacy as fundamentally flawed.
Trump's negotiation style, characterized by prioritizing the seemingly stronger side and seeking to dominate deals, clashes with the principles of effective mediation, which require impartiality and fostering common ground. His history of unilateral actions, such as imposing tariffs, further undermines his credibility as a mediator, especially when he abruptly reverses course, demonstrating a lack of consistent strategy and understanding of complex geopolitical dynamics.

Mexico to review its tariffs with China, amid US pressure
墨西哥总统克劳迪娅·辛鲍姆表示，墨西哥政府将重新审视与中国的关税，回应美国对其阻止中国商品借道进入美国的压力。辛鲍姆指出，墨西哥从中国进口的“大量产品”已经对本国产业造成冲击，政府将采取措施应对这一问题。
辛鲍姆认为，墨西哥纺织和制鞋业的衰落是导致瓜纳华托州犯罪暴力浪潮的原因之一。今年一月，她曾提出一项计划，旨在用国内生产的商品取代中国进口商品。虽然美国财政部长表示墨西哥已提议与美国对中国商品加征关税的做法保持一致，但辛鲍姆并未证实这一点，而是强调墨西哥将优先发展与已签署自由贸易协定的国家（如美国）的贸易关系。

UK crossbow killer raped ex-girlfriend before murdering her and her mother and sister
Kyle Clifford被判在2024年7月于伦敦北部住所谋杀三名女性并强奸其中一人的罪名成立。剑桥皇家法庭陪审团在经过约45分钟的审议后，判定Clifford在袭击中强奸了他的前女友Louise Hunt，此前他已承认使用十字弓和刀具杀害了Louise Hunt，她的姐姐Hannah Hunt以及她们的母亲Carol Hunt。
Clifford在今年1月承认了三项谋杀罪、一项非法监禁罪和两项持有攻击性武器罪，但他否认强奸了Louise。受害者是BBC赛马评论员John Hunt的妻子和两个女儿。Clifford拒绝离开位于伦敦东南部的贝尔马什监狱的牢房，没有出庭。他将于下周二被判刑。

European Parliament removes curbs on lawmaker meetings with China
欧洲议会解除了议员会见部分中国官员的限制，这表明欧盟与中国的关系可能正在解冻。 此前，由于中欧双方在新疆人权问题上相互制裁，欧洲议会于2023年4月出台相关限制措施，旨在收紧与受制裁的中国官员的联系。
这些非约束性指导方针曾规定，在制裁持续期间，不得邀请中国议员访问欧洲议会，也不得派遣官方代表团前往中国，除非代表团中至少有一名成员受到制裁。此外，与中国官员的双边接触应仅限于在职官员，且需通知议会服务部门。但随着欧洲议会议长Roberta Metsola提议撤销这些措施，这一强硬姿态开始出现松动，不过，与俄罗斯和白俄罗斯官员的会面限制仍然有效。
