China’s biotech industry sees global expansion as unstoppable, despite US pressure | 尽管美国施压，中国生物科技产业全球扩张势头不可阻挡
中国生物科技企业正加快全球扩张步伐，业内人士称这一趋势“不可逆转”。尽管美国持续推出投资限制和国家安全措施，试图放缓中国企业进入美国市场，中国生物科技公司仍在推进海外布局。
中信证券全球医疗组联席负责人张军在香港交易所相关活动上表示，美国为中国公司进入本土市场设置了大量监管和非关税壁垒，但这并未改变中国生物科技企业走向全球的方向。业内普遍认为，海外扩张已成为这些企业的重要战略。
文章指出，这一趋势反映出中国生物科技行业在外部压力下仍保持出海动力，全球化步伐并未因美方限制而明显放缓。

UK defence chief John Healey resigns amid feud with Starmer over military spending | 英国国防大臣约翰·希利因军费争端与斯塔默不和而辞职
英国国防大臣约翰·希利（John Healey）周四因军费开支争议辞职，并指责首相基尔·斯塔默未能为国家防务所需投入足够资源。
据报道，英国国防部和财政部数月来一直在就如何满足不断上升的军事开支需求进行谈判，这也导致英国自去年以来一直未能公布《国防投资计划》。希利批评称，政府和财政部都未能作出必要承诺来支持国防建设。

Who pays when rockets explode? China insures SpaceX’s rivals in orbital race against US | 火箭爆炸谁买单？中国为SpaceX对手投保，参与轨道竞赛抗衡美国

文中提到，2016年一枚搭载卫星的SpaceX火箭在测试中爆炸，导致卫星设备和周边设施遭受数百万美元损失。幸运的是，卫星运营商以色列的Space Communications为这颗卫星购买了保险，因此事故带来的部分损失得以缓冲。

Do not let US-China ties spiral out of control, ex-Treasury chief Paulson warns | 前美国财长保尔森警告：勿让美中关系失控升级
前美国财政部长亨利·保尔森呼吁华盛顿和北京妥善管控不断升级的战略竞争，防止局势滑向更广泛的冲突。他警告说，如今不断加深的不信任，比贸易失衡本身带来的风险更大。
保尔森表示，美中关系是世界上“最具影响力”的双边关系，随着两国在贸易、技术和安全领域的竞争加剧，更需要谨慎处理。他强调，双方必须小心应对分歧，避免“脱钩”演变成更严重的对立。

Malaysia’s hunt for Russian oil tests Anwar’s ‘friends with all’ policy | 马来西亚寻购俄罗斯石油考验安华“与各方为友”政策
马来西亚正在寻找替代原油供应，这让总理安华“与所有国家交朋友”的外交路线面临更大压力。分析人士指出，马来西亚可能转向采购俄罗斯石油，而这与西方对莫斯科的制裁相冲突。
与此同时，地缘政治紧张继续推高全球油价。周四，伊朗宣布关闭霍尔木兹海峡后，油价再次上涨；报道还提到，这一局势发生在美以与伊朗战争爆发后的第103天。美国方面则表示，希望与俄罗斯石油相关的制裁豁免尽快结束。
整体来看，马来西亚在能源需求、国际制裁和外交平衡之间面临更复杂的选择，外部局势的变化也在加剧其能源采购与政策调整的难度。
