呼籲北約加強聯繫亞太國家的主張正逐漸被擴散~
"NATO should, however, explore the meaningfulness in strengthening its existing partnerships in the Asia-Pacific. Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea are further ahead in their adaptation to China in terms of resilience and supply-chain security and thus may prove useful for the development of joint resilience capacity."

夾在強權勢力間的印度在台灣議題上保持審慎:
"Aligning India’s Taiwan policy with that of other Quad countries should not be seen as a move to counter China. It should rather be seen as a move aiding India in further strengthening its Act East Policy and the Indo-Pacific vision. This will accrue benefits for India’s regional aspirations and will make the Quad robust."

本世紀的馬歇爾計畫又要重出江湖了~
"The DFC is the latest incarnation of postwar American foreign assistance, which included the Marshall Plan that helped rebuild Europe and the U.S. Agency for International Development, which provides economic and disaster assistance to developing countries. Washington launched the programs to strengthen ties with allies, halt communism’s spread and open markets for U.S. companies.
...
The DFC receives an annual federal appropriation for administrative and other expenses. The investment fund of the DFC and its predecessor has never turned a fiscal-year loss, but it has no legal requirement to make a profit. Its mandate is to balance returning money to U.S. taxpayers with foreign-policy and national-security goals, which include countering authoritarian governments and promoting economic growth in developing countries."
美中放話互嗆日常~
“The operation reflects our commitment to uphold freedom of navigation and lawful uses of the sea as a principle. The United States will continue to fly, sail, and operate wherever international law allows, as USS Benfold did here. Nothing PRC says otherwise will deter us.”

繼立陶宛之後,之前收到台灣捐贈七十萬片口罩的斯洛伐克,現在也透過歐盟捐一萬劑疫苗給台灣。
“歐盟危機處理特使雷納席奇(Janez Lenarčič)表示,歐盟成員國持續協助各國接種疫苗,透過「歐洲民事保護機制」(European Civil Protection Mechanism)捐出去的疫苗已有300萬劑,所有人都獲得疫苗對擊敗全球疫情相當重要。
歐洲民事保護機制是歐盟內部的一套機制,方便成員國協助遇到緊急災難的國家,歐盟最多負擔75%的運輸費用。疫情發生以來,歐盟成員國已利用這套機制捐出大量的口罩、防護衣、消毒液等醫療設備。”
「在美国,一些专家们认为中共生存之道主要有以下几点:严密的极权控制、“伟光正”的宣传洗脑、以及根据时代变化做出的一些适应性调整(邓小平迅速决定将中共政权的使命从阶级斗争转向经济建设,希望通过经济建设“让自己涅槃重生”。从那以后,中共的政治精英似乎形成了一个共识,即共产党的合法性和正当性来自于中国的经济表现。)」

總加速師的厲害在於全面性戰狼出擊而非側重一方.
"The current crisis in the Taiwan Strait, one underscored by Beijing’s repeated threats of war and hostile military manoeuvres, must not be regarded as a bilateral issue between Taipei and Beijing (or an internal one, as the Chinese side maintains). Rather, the soured relations must be assessed in their regional and global context. By doing so, it becomes clear that, like many other countries, Taiwan has been at the receiving end of an increasingly authoritarian and assertive regime in Beijing. In other words, Taiwan’s souring ties with Beijing occurred in parallel with, not in isolation from, a similar downturn in other countries’ relationship with China."
未來幾年內的新興交易露端倪?
"Over the next three to five years, the market is set to expand to seven additional high-emissions industries: petrochemicals, chemicals, building materials, iron and steel, nonferrous metals, paper, and domestic aviation.
Rather than be subject to the absolute caps on emissions in other trading programs and proposed by environmental officials, Chinese companies will start off with allowances that use benchmarks based on previous years’ performances, giving them more wiggle room. They can be traded by negotiation or auction, among other means."
@keestone 連送疫苗收買人心都做不到, 導致我對所謂中國第二季經濟成率7.9%感到懷疑....
"All told, China’s government said Thursday that gross domestic product grew by 7.9% in the second quarter from a year earlier, in line with economists’ expectations."
法國賽諾菲開發的這款疫苗不知道叫啥?
"賽諾菲研發的這款疫苗屬於「基因重組蛋白疫苗」,研發人員人工製作出與病毒表面蛋白質相似的蛋白質,透過注射該蛋白質至人體體內,讓人體產生可攻擊病毒的抗體。臨床試驗中測試的是針對普通新冠病毒和南非確認的Beta變種病毒研發的兩種疫苗。研發人員將對受試者分別施打疫苗和沒有任何效果的安慰劑,再比較反應結果,確認疫苗的有效性和安全性。"
歐盟大象的氣候暖化政策隨著疫情穩定後逐漸浮上檯面成為政治重點:
"The package of legislation, drafted by the European Commission, the EU’s executive arm, ranks among the most ambitious plans yet by a major economic power to cut emissions of carbon dioxide and other gases such as methane that the majority of scientists say are causing the earth to warm. It calls for a massive shift by companies and households to cleaner technologies such as wind turbines, solar power and electric vehicles—including a requirement for the share of renewable sources in Europe’s energy mix to rise to 40% in 2030 from 20% currently. The plan aims to limit pollution across the European economy, including electricity generation, automobiles, housing, shipping and agriculture."
這篇則從俄羅斯角度剖析俄印中的聯盟:
"As highlighted in the strategy, the partnership with Beijing and New Delhi is necessary for Moscow to create reliable mechanisms in the Asia-Pacific region, to ensure regional stability and security on a non-bloc basis. The 2021 NSS consistently mentions the Asia-Pacific region, which suggests that Russia at the highest level rejects the concept of the Indo-Pacific – or, more specifically, its U.S.-centered version."

"Taiwan bekommt den COVID-19 Impfstoff jetzt endlich, zumindest über Umwege. Eine vorherige Vereinbarung zwischen BionTech und Taiwan war aufgrund des Drucks der Volksrepublik China gescheitert. Das Gute dabei ist, dass Taiwan nun endlich den COVID-19-Impfstoff aus Deutschland erhält. Damit wird nun auch für Taiwan der Weg aus der Pandemie frei. Das Erschreckende an diesem ganzen Laientheater jedoch ist, dass durch die ganze Verzögerung mit der Gesundheit von mehr als 23 Millionen Menschen gespielt wurde. Das darf nicht sein. In der globalen Pandemiebekämpfung müssen wir zusammenstehen und uns gegenseitig unterstützen."
"德國國會議員Ulrich Lechte昨天的貼文對此是怎麼寫的(框黃線部分):『台灣現在終於可獲得Covid19 的疫苗了,(雖然)至少繞了幾個彎。先前BNT和台灣的相關恊議,由於中華人民共和國的施壓而告吹』。"
@y11165 順手補新聞分析:
"邱芷恩進一步指出,由於北京的一帶一路政策已在中亞投下巨資,中國可能會向塔利班提出非常具體的基建投資計劃,以換取對方承諾不介入新疆維吾爾族相關議題,同時確保阿富汗境內衝突不會蔓延至中亞地區。
但她認為,中國過往在中亞地區的基建計畫往往帶來大量中國工人,而這些人很難融入當地社會,導致這些一帶一路計畫後來成為中亞各國仇中情緒的導火線,「若類似情況發生在阿富汗,塔利班應無法輕易解決衝突」。"
"軍方人士今天指出,中共解放軍本階段共建造3艘075型兩棲攻擊艦,目前第1艘「海南艦」已在南部戰區海軍服役,第2艘即將服役並部署在東部戰區海軍,第3艘還在艤裝作業,傳出將在2023年中服役,基於強化南海戰場經營考量,第3艘075型兩棲攻擊艦將不會部署在北部戰區海軍,選擇部署在南部戰區海軍的可能性較高。"
英軍艦隊出現群聚及故障掉隊狀況...
"鑽石號7月5日啟航前抵達賽普勒斯的拉納卡(Larnaca),但沒有加入兩天後通過蘇伊士運河的航艦打擊群,而是來到西西里島附近的北約港口,問題出在艦上的燃氣輪機「嚴重缺陷」。"
鐵桿可能變稻稈嗎?
"在簽下一帶一路協議時,巴基斯坦原本希望透過與中國合作,來提振巴國經濟,為年輕人創造就業機會。但這種不切實際的期待,現在已經降至谷底。巴國本先試圖說服中國出資,但中國迴避做出任何資金承諾。中巴經濟走廊計畫不但缺乏明確藍圖,兩國間也缺乏協調,計畫已經難以為繼。
這才讓巴基斯坦意識到,巴國無法從中巴經濟走廊計畫中,獲得任何實質好處。與中國合作不但沒能帶來工作機會,中企更偏好使用中國工人與工程師從事技術工作,打造專屬中國工人的生活圈。此外,中企也在巴國建工廠,將產品直接出口到歐洲。"

英荷現在游到了亞丁灣和美日聯合訓練:
"該次訓練從海上自衛隊護衛艦「瀨戶霧號」與P-3獵戶座海上巡邏機,英國海軍從航空母艦等兩艘其他巡防艦與兩艘補給艦等一起參加。同行的美國海軍驅逐艦以及荷蘭海軍巡防艦也一同參加,進行海上補給訓練。"
"關於饑荒造成的死亡人數,目前研究者只能依據官方公布的數字(如一九五三、一九六四和一九八二年的人口統計)進行推測,由此得出的結論是:非正常死亡人口約為一千五百萬至三千二百萬。然而,當時由公安部門匯總的數字以及在大躍進的最後幾個月由各地黨委編寫的祕密報告卻表明,這些推測的數字遠遠低於實際情況。本書的研究表明,一九五八年至一九六二年間,至少有四千五百萬人非正常死亡。
人們常用「饑荒」或「大饑荒」來描述那四五年的情況,但這些詞並不能反映在那場極端的集體化運動中人們死亡的各種方式,而且還會給人造成一種印象,即人口的死亡是由於基層政府對中央的經濟政策執行不力而無意造成的後果——這種說法事實上流傳甚廣。許多人並未將「大躍進」與大規模的殺戮聯繫在一起,而是將其與柬埔寨和蘇聯的大饑荒相提並論。經此比較,中國的問題反而顯得不那麼嚴重了。然而,本書有新的證據表明,強迫、恐懼和有組織的暴力才是「大躍進」得以實施的基礎。由於共產黨有嚴格的報告制度,我們得以從這些黨內部的報告中發現,一九五八至一九六二年間,大約有百分之六至八的受害者(總數至少達到二百五十萬人)是被折磨至死或被草率處死的,還有許多受害者因被故意剝奪口糧而餓死。此外,更多的人因為年老、體弱或疾病而喪失勞動能力,結果無法掙得維持生存的基本物資。事實證明,無數受害者是出於種種原因被選擇性地殺害的:有的人因為有錢被殺害,有的人因為勞動偷懶被殺害,有的人因為敢於直言被殺害,有些則僅僅因為公共食堂的打飯師傅看他們不順眼而被殺害,諸如此類,不一而足。另外,還有不計其數者因為得不到基本的醫療和照顧而間接地死於饑荒——事實上,迫於完成上級任務的壓力,地方幹部只重視產量的統計數字,根本無視活生生的個體生命。"
