Germany blurs defence lines with bet on Philippines’ old US base | 德国押注菲律宾旧美军基地，模糊防务界线
菲律宾克拉克国际机场原本是美国在亚洲投射空中力量的军事基地，如今正被改造为德国展示工业实力的新平台。 分析人士指出，上周达成的数百万美元开发协议，反映出经济投资正成为新的战略语言。该协议是在德国总统施泰因迈尔访问马尼拉期间敲定的，这是1963年以来德国国家元首首次访菲，具有重要象征意义。
这项合作显示，德国正通过扩大在菲律宾的经济存在来增强地区影响力，而菲律宾也借此吸引外资、推动基础设施和产业发展。尽管文本未给出协议全部细节，但其核心意义在于：大国竞争的方式正在从传统军事部署，转向以投资、产业与长期合作为基础的影响力布局。

What the I Ching is really about | 《易经》真正讲的是什么
卡尔·荣格是《易经》的推崇者，也是德文译者威廉的密友，但文章作者认为，荣格其实并没有真正理解《易经》的核心精神。荣格曾把《易经》视为一部深奥而难以被西方思维把握的中国经典，认为它的意义超出了普通理性分析的范围。
作者则表示，自己这些年来逐渐确信，荣格对《易经》的认识存在偏差。文中提到，荣格把《易经》看得过于神秘和抽象，而这恰恰成了一个“警示信号”，说明他并未真正触及作者所说的“《易经》的中国精神”。

Easy money or risky business? What can Hong Kong do as prediction markets boom? | 轻松赚钱还是高风险生意？预测市场热潮下香港能做什么？
随着世界杯带动香港投注热潮，非法博彩出现新变化，预测市场平台Polymarket在本地年轻人中悄然走红，但也带来合规与风险问题。 25岁的法国自由视频创作者Jean Pierre去年开始在Polymarket上下注，他坦言最初只是想“轻松赚点钱”。这类平台允许用户对赛事或事件结果进行预测并下注，因操作便捷、题材广泛，吸引了一些希望快速获利的参与者。
文章指出，预测市场正在成为传统非法赌球之外的新趋势，尤其是在足球世界杯等大型赛事期间更为活跃。尽管这类平台表面上以“预测”形式出现，但其运作方式与博彩高度相似，参与者面临资金损失、平台规则不透明以及法律风险等问题。
在香港，随着相关需求增加，监管挑战也随之上升。文章提醒，预测市场的兴起反映出非法投注形式正在变化，执法与公众教育都需要跟上这种新型博彩模式的发展。

Chinese infant admitted to ICU for toxicity after being fed vegetable juice formula | 中国婴儿因被喂食蔬菜汁配方奶后中毒入住重症监护室
中国广东一名三个月大男婴因被喂食用蔬菜汁冲调的婴儿奶粉后疑似中毒，被紧急送入重症监护室（ICU）救治。据《纵览新闻》报道，这名男婴在广东中山妇女儿童医院接受治疗时，出现全身发紫、口唇呈紫蓝色并呼吸困难等症状。家长表示，孩子在喝完奶后不久便开始出现异常反应。
报道指出，医生怀疑孩子的中毒情况与不当喂养方式有关。目前，男婴已接受医院抢救和进一步治疗。家长向院方提供了事发经过，但相关细节尚未完全披露。
这一事件再次引发外界对婴幼儿喂养安全的关注。专家通常提醒，婴儿奶粉应严格按照说明，用适合的水冲调，不应随意加入果汁、蔬菜汁或其他饮品，以免影响营养吸收，甚至危及健康。

Norway imposes near AI ban for junior school pupils, curbs use for older children | 挪威几乎禁止小学低年级学生使用AI，限制大龄儿童使用
挪威首相表示，政府将对小学生使用生成式人工智能工具实施近乎全面的限制，并对年长学生在教育中的使用加以约束，以避免对学习造成负面影响。
在全国教育测试成绩普遍下滑的背景下，挪威政府已于2024年禁止学校使用智能手机，并重新赋予教师更多课堂纪律管理权。政府认为，限制AI工具进入学校，有助于保护学生的基础学习能力，尤其是年幼儿童。
报道指出，使用人工智能可能会增加低龄儿童在学习过程中受到干扰或依赖技术的风险，因此政府希望通过更严格的规则，确保学生先建立扎实的阅读、写作和思考能力，再逐步接触相关工具。

Could China make a sea-skimming hypersonic missile a real nightmare for the US? | 中国能否让掠海高超音速导弹成为美国的真正噩梦？
中国科学院周一启动一项新的低空高超音速飞行研究计划，重点研究可支撑相关武器发展的关键技术。该计划引发外界关注，因为若研究取得成果，未来可能帮助中国发展一种贴近海面、速度超过五倍音速、且可低于雷达视距飞行的高超音速导弹。
报道指出，这类武器如果成为现实，可能对美国海军构成新的威胁，因为其低空高速飞行特性将增加探测和拦截难度。此次项目由中国科学院稳定支持计划资助，显示相关研究已进入更系统的推进阶段。
目前报道没有披露该计划的更多技术细节或完成时间，但其研究方向已足以表明，中国正加快对低空高超音速飞行能力的探索。
