Ta Yang Group Holdings Limited Announcing AI Transformation Blueprint

HONG KONG, Aug 21, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Ta Yang Group Holdings Limited (“Ta Yang Group” or the “Group”; Stock Code: 1991), a well-established Hong Kong-listed company with nearly two decades of market presence, plans to further advance comprehensively into the Web 4.0 field and artificial intelligence (AI) industry. The Group will leverage AI Digital Humans as its subsequent growth engine, integrating a Real World Assets (RWA) tokenization operation platform with its inherent global traffic marketing operation system to strategically deploy across three trillion-dollar sectors: education, gaming, and big health.Against the backdrop of AI fueling a new wave of global digitization, AI is evolving from a “technological tool” to the “core of transformation” for many enterprises, driving industries to change work methods, overcome efficiency boundaries, and reshape value paradigms. IDC research indicates that for every dollar invested in generative AI, enterprises can achieve a return on investment of 3.7 times; companies deeply embracing AI have realized an average value return cycle of 13 months. Over 50% of organizations are accelerating customized AI application development, converting short-term gains into long-term competitive advantages. PwC forecasts that by 2030, AI will be a global economic game-changer, contributing up to US$15.7 trillion in growth and adding approximately 26.1% to China’s GDP. It is no surprise that AI Digital Humans, as the core multi-modal interactive carriers across industries, are gradually transitioning from concept to industrial implementation.In 2023, the Group invested in Jusheng Technology Co., Ltd. (“Jusheng Technology”), a professional digital marketing services company. Jusheng Technology plans to launch its independently developed AI Digital Humans, integrating leading technologies such as machine learning, natural language processing (NLP), computer vision (CV), speech synthesis/recognition (TTS/STT), and compatible with the xAI Grok API. This AI Digital Human is at an industry-leading level and will be introduced to three major scenarios: education, gaming, and big health. This includes, but is not limited to: a “Virtual Teacher” AI Digital Human that can adjust speaking speed and learning difficulty in real time based on students’ attention; AI NPCs in games with personalized storylines that evolve based on different player choices; and a “Health Companion” AI Digital Human offering proactive suggestions based on individuals’ 24/7 health data such as heart rate and blood pressure. The Group plans a “phased iterative and gradual open” strategy, expecting to complete the core modules and underlying technology integration within six months, release AI Digital Human prototypes for the three scenarios in the following 6 to 18 months, and integrate these into Jusheng Technology’s marketing matrix. Between 18 and 36 months, the Group aims to open related APIs or SDKs and attract global developers to build an open ecosystem.Additionally, the Group intends to take advantage of this AI and digital transformation opportunity by using blockchain-based RWA to enable off-chain cash flow-generating asset projects to be captured in real time by AI Digital Humans and recorded in smart contracts. The Group will structure and issue layered packages of assets including educational copyrights and gaming IPs tailored to investors’ risk preferences. The target for this type of asset issuance is to pilot 10 high-quality projects in the first year, with plans to expand to 100 projects within three years, involving total asset values of HK$500 million. The Group aims to serve total asset values exceeding HK$5 billion within five years, establishing a multi-domain RWA asset operation platform.It is noteworthy that RWA transactions eliminate the need for traditional brokers or intermediaries, enabling a direct connection between the physical economy and virtual markets. According to Boston Consulting Group estimates, the RWA tokenization market could grow to a valuation of US$16 trillion by 2030, underscoring its vast market potential and promising outlook.Leveraging Jusheng Technology’s 20 years of cross-border marketing experience, Ta Yang will build a traffic system characterized by “comprehensive coverage + intelligent operation + scalable growth.” Jusheng Technology’s platforms cover overseas social media such as TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, as well as domestic channels like Douyin and WeChat Video Accounts, facilitating global user reach for customers. Utilizing AI technology, processes such as account nurturing, content generation, and targeted delivery will be fully automated to reduce operational costs and improve customer acquisition efficiency. Based on this, Ta Yang Group has a clear user growth target: to attract 1 million users in the first year to form an initial traffic pool, reach over 10 million users within three years, and build a native Web 4.0 traffic pool of hundreds of millions of users within five years, creating a “traffic – conversion – repurchase” cycle.Ms. Shi Qi, Chairlady of Ta Yang Group, stated, “Ta Yang is unveiling its AI transformation blueprint and formally entering the digital asset arena, marking a significant milestone for the Group and opening a new chapter for future development. We are grateful for investors’ recognition and confidence in our growth. As a well-established Hong Kong-listed company with nearly two decades of market history, this entry into the AI industry is expected to generate four types of revenue: income from AI Digital Human-driven traffic; revenue from providing AI+RWA one-stop financing consultancy services to SMEs; matchmaking fees related to RWA transactions, as well as digital advisory subscription fees; and multilingual, multicultural AI customer service and marketing outsourcing fees charged on a per-project or annual basis. Benefiting from its business model, Jusheng Technology has maintained positive cash flow in recent years, providing ample resources for this broader AI and digital transformation initiative. As the Group’s vision through Jusheng Technology in AI gradually materializes, we look forward to creating greater value and delivering promising returns for our shareholders.”About Ta Yang Group Holdings Limited (SEHK: 1991.HK)Ta Yang Group Holdings Limited (Stock Code: 1991) was established in 1991 and successfully listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited in 2007.

Everbright Grand China Achieved Revenue of RMB24.5 Million in 2025 1H

HONG KONG, Aug 22, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Everbright Grand China Assets Limited ("Everbright Grand China" or the "Group"; HKEX stock code: 03699.HK), a subsidiary of China Everbright Group, principally engaged in the businesses of property leasing, property management and the sales of properties held for sale, announced its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2025 ("Reporting Period").During the Reporting Period, revenue of the Group was approximately RMB24.5 million,  representing an increase of approximately RMB0.6 million as compared with 2024. Profit attributable to equity shareholders was approximately RMB10.1 million, representing a decrease of approximately RMB1.3 million as compared with 2024, mainly attributable to the increase in the PRC income tax and deferred taxation. Gross profit was approximately RMB18.1 million, representing an increase of approximately RMB0.6 million as compared with 2024. Basic earnings per share of the Group was approximately RMB2.30 cents (2024: RMB2.59 cents). The Board declared an interim dividend of RMB0.73 cents (equivalent to HK0.80 cents) per ordinary share.Considering that the current operating environment remains relatively challenging, the Board declared an interim dividend of RMB0.73 cents (equivalent to HK0.80 cents) per ordinary share, as a token of appreciation to shareholders for their continuous support. In the second half of the year, the Company will decide on dividend distribution taking into account factors such as business development needs, financial performance and capital position, as well as performance growth, in order to bring the best return to the Company's shareholders and investors.In 2025, global economic environment continues to be characterized by uncertainties. Factors such as geopolitical risks, inflationary pressures and monetary policy adjustments in major economies around the world continue to affect market confidence and capital flows. Nevertheless, the overall stability of China’s economy, the gradual rebound of the consumer market and the continued optimization and upgrading of the industrial structure have provided a solid foundation for the development of the property management and leasing industry.For the six months ended 30 June 2025, the Group generated rental income of approximately RMB17.0 million (2024: RMB16.3 million), representing an increase of approximately RMB0.7 million as compared to the same period last year. The Company’s properties maintained an occupancy rate of approximately 81%, with the overall leasing market performing solidly, although newly signed rents declined compared to the previous period. In the face of downward pressure on rents, the Group will enhance its consolidated earning power by adding additional services to new leases to mitigate the impact of lower rents on overall revenue. This not only enriches the service offerings, but also helps to enhance customer stickiness and satisfaction, further consolidating the Group’s market competitiveness.During the period, revenue from the property management services was approximately RMB7.5 million (2024: RMB7.6 million), representing a decrease of approximately RMB0.1 million as compared to the same period last year. In terms of property portfolio strategy, the Group actively promotes tenant diversification to mitigate industry risks and adapt to the accelerated rise and fall of market environment of various industries. The Group’s existing properties are mainly concentrated in two core cities of Chengdu in Sichuan Province and Kunming in Yunnan Province, covering three commercial buildings, namely Everbright Financial Center, Everbright International Mansion and Ming Chang Building, with a total gross floor area of approximately 89,507 square meters. Benefiting from its excellent geographical location and sound property quality, it has attracted a large number of state-owned enterprises and large organizations to move in and has a solid leasing base. In the future, the Group will promote business diversification to enhance its overall risk-resistant capability.In terms of overseas investment, the Group is evaluating investment opportunities in international markets and is cautiously optimistic about overseas markets. Notwithstanding the volatility of the global economy, the Group will adhere to the principle of prudence and flexibility in its investment horizon to ensure the safety and profitability of its capital operations.As at 30 June 2025, The Group maintained cash and bank balances and bank deposits of approximately RMB236.2 million (31 December 2024: RMB231.5 million). The Group’s gearing ratio, being measured by the Group’s total liabilities over its total assets, was 18.6% (31 December 2024: 18.0%). The Group’s liquidity position was well-managed.Looking ahead to the second half of 2025, there are no new property management projects for the time being, despite favourable lease performance in the first half of the year. The Group is actively looking for suitable investment windows for its acquisition and investment plans which were delayed during the epidemic. With the active domestic economy and falling interest rates, the market’s willingness to invest has increased significantly.The Group will continue to deepen its digital transformation and actively utilize technology to promote the construction of intelligent properties and enhance operational efficiency and customer experience. Through technological empowerment, we optimize the allocation of human resources and service processes, enhance the level of intelligence and refinement of property management, and improve overall service quality and customer satisfaction.In addition, the Group will fully utilize the synergies with its parent company, China Everbright Group, and leverage on the popularity of the “Everbright” brand and its resource advantages to actively develop diversified value-added services, enrich its revenue structure and enhance its brand influence. In the face of industry restructuring and upgrading, the Group insists on stable operation, focuses on risk management and internal control, responds flexibly to changes in the macro-economy and policies, and continues to optimize its asset portfolio in order to enhance its risk-resistant capability.

大洋集团发布AI转型蓝图 将结合 AI 数字人、真实世界资产(RWA)代币化运营平台及全球流量营销运营体系

香港,2025年8月21日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 大洋集团控股有限公司 (「大洋集团」或「集团」;股份代号:1991) 作为在港上市近廿载的老牌港股,拟进一步向Web4.0领域及人工智能(AI)产业全面进军,将以AI数字人作为其后续成长引擎,结合真实世界资产(Real World Assets,RWA)代币化运营平台,及其固有的全球流量营销运营体系,针对教育、游戏、大健康三大万亿赛道进行战略布局。在人工智能(AI)为全球数字化卷起新浪潮的大局下,AI正从「技术工具」跃升成为不少企业的「变革核心」,并驱使各行业改变工作方式、突破效率边界、重塑其价值逻辑。IDC研究显示,企业每投资1元在生成式AI身上,其投资回报率可达3.7倍;而深度拥抱AI的企业已实现平均13个月的价值回报周期,超过50%的组织正加速定制化AI应用开发,将短期收益转化为长期竞争优势。普华永道预测,到2030年,AI将成为全球经济的规则改变者,贡献高达 15.7 万亿美元的增长,为中国经济带来约26.1%的 GDP增量。无怪AI数字人作为不同行业多模式交互核心载体,已逐步从概念迈向产业落地。大洋集团于2023年投资的专业数位营销服务公司巨省科技有限公司(「巨省科技」)拟推出其自主研发、技术融合机器学习、自然语言处理(NLP)、计算机视觉(CV)、语音合成/识别(TTS/STT)等领先技术、可兼容xAI Grok API的AI数字人,此AI数字人处于行业领先水平,幷拟面向教育、游戏及大健康的三大场景推出,形成包括但不限于,如能够根据学生专注力实时调整语速及学习难度的「虚拟老师」AI数字人、藉因应每位玩家不同选择互动而衍生「玩家专属」的剧情之AI NPC、可根据个人7x24小时的健康数据如心率、血压等主动建议的「健康伴侣」AI数字人等;集团计划采取「分阶段迭代、逐步开放」的策略,即预期将于未来6个月内完成核心模块及底层技术整合,并目标于紧接的第6至18个月就上述三大场景发布AI数字人原型,幷接入巨省科技之营销矩阵,期望于第18至36个月内能开放相关API或SDK接口,并吸引全球开发者构建其开放式生态圈。除此之外,集团更拟透过是次向AI与数字化转型的契机,计划透过区块链RWA(Real World Assets,真实世界资产),将具备现金流的链下资产项目通过AI数字人实时抓取写进智能合约当中,并将针对教育版权、游戏IP在内等资产进行分层打包及发行,以配合不同投资者的风险偏好,集团目标此类资产发行,首年将对10个优质项目进行「试水式」发行,冀能于未来3年扩展至100个项目,涉及资产规模总值5亿港元;力争5年内服务的资产规模总值能突破50亿港元,打造出多领域RWA资产运营平台。值得留意的是,RWA交易过程中,无需传统经纪商或中间机构的参与,便可实现实体经济与虚拟市场的结合。根据波士顿咨询顾问公司的估计 =,至2030年,RWA代币化市场的市值规模可能成长至16万亿美元。由此可见,其巨大的市场潜力以至前景。依托巨省科技20年跨境投放经验,大洋集团将构建「全域覆盖+智能运营+规模增长」流量体系。巨省科技服务之平台覆盖TikTok、Instagram、Facebook等海外社交平台及抖音、微信视频号等国内渠道,有助客户实现全球用户触达;并可借助AI技术实现账号养号、内容生成、定向投放全流程自动化,降低运营成本,提升获客效率。以此推算,大洋集团对用户增长目标明确:首年引流100万用户构建初始流量池,目标3年内超千万,5年内打造亿级Web4.0原生流量池,形成「流量-转化-复购」的循环。大洋集团将藉上述规划打造「数据化(Digitalization)-资产化(Assetization)-代币化(Tokenization)(下称‧DAT)」闭环,实现价值三层转化:于数据化阶段,将教育教案、游戏脚本等多元数据标准化,打破数据孤岛;在资产化阶段,将用户交互沉淀换算为可量化资产,比如教育「个性化教研数据包」可提升AI数字人老师课程之续费率、游戏「剧情扩展资产」延长游戏生命周期等;在代币化阶段,将可通过滴灌通DRO模型质检之达标资产上链发行,全球投资者可7×24小时交易,放大流动性溢价。针对上述AI及数字化转型战略蓝图的投入规划,大洋集团预期首年投入1.3亿港元,目标未来5年内实现现金流正向循环。大洋集团主席施琦女士表示:「大洋发布助力企业AI与数字化转型蓝图,并正式进入数字资产领域,标志着集团一项重要里程碑,亦为未来更多元化发展掀开崭新的一页。我们感谢各投资者对公司以发展的肯定及信心。大洋集团作为一间在港上市近廿载的老牌港股,透过是次涉足AI产业的举措,未来有望衍生四种收入,包括AI数字人引流的收入、为中小企业提供 AI+RWA 一站式融资咨询的收入、与RWA交易相关的撮合手续费以至数字投顾订阅费、以及按项目或年费提供多语言、多文化 AI 客服与营销外包收入,且巨省科技受惠其业态,近年持续保持正向现金流,亦为是次其向AI及数字转型进一步拓展大计,提供充裕的自有资源,而随着集团透过巨省科技走入AI领域的蓝图逐步变成现实,届时可望为股东创造更多价值幷带来理想回报。」关于大洋集团控股有限公司(股份代号: 1991)大洋集团控股有限公司(股票代号:1991)成立于 1991 年,2007 年在香港联合交易所有限公司成功上市,是一家兼具三十年产业积淀与前瞻数字视野的多元化企业。自创立以来,集团早期聚焦硅胶输入设备领域,专业设计及制造用于消费电子装置、计算机、笔记本电脑、手提电话及汽车周边产品的核心部件,凭借高度整合的生产体系、严苛的品质管控与技术创新能力,赢得全球众多知名品牌客户的长期信赖,奠定了坚实的产业根基。随着全球数字化转型浪潮的深化,大洋集团敏锐洞察数字经济时代的战略机遇,果断启动向 Web4.0 领域的全方位战略转型,以「拥抱技术变革、重构价值生态」为核心方向,精准锚定人工智能(AI)、真实世界资产(RWA)代币化及香港政策生态三大核心驱动力,致力于打通 「数据 — 资产 — 价值」 的转化链路,开启从传统制造向数字经济领航者的跨越。当前,大洋集团正以 Web4.0 战略转型为新起点,聚焦教育、游戏、大健康三大万亿赛道,致力于成为亚太地区 AI 与 RWA 双赛道的领先企业,为全球投资者、合作伙伴及个人用户提供高效的价值增长生态,持续推动全球数字经济高质量发展,写下从「产业深耕者」到「数字生态构建者」的全新一页。如有任何问题,欢迎垂询达博思传讯顾问有限公司陈铠瑶(Joanne Chan)电话:(852) 9616 2676 电邮:jchan@lbs-comm.com何幸儒 (Jason Ho) 电话:(852) 9836 3448 电邮:jho@lbs-comm.com Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

玻利维亚总统:美国以“毒品战争”为幌子 企图控制拉美

(SeaPRwire) -   路易斯·阿尔塞抨击美国近期在加勒比南部地区部署武装力量 玻利维亚总统路易斯·阿尔塞周三声称,华盛顿正在利用所谓的“毒品战争”作为掩护,以寻求在拉丁美洲的政治和经济主导权。他强烈批评美国在加勒比南部地区的军事部署,称其是控制该地区而非真正打击毒品贩运的企图。 本月早些时候,美国向加勒比南部海域派遣了空军和海军部队,白宫称这是打击在拉丁美洲运营的贩毒集团、特别是那些与委内瑞拉有关联的贩毒集团的更广泛行动的一部分。 “我们知道,在这场失败的国际‘毒品战争’背后,真正的目的是从地缘政治上控制拉丁美洲的自然资源,并分化有组织的民众,以便我们无法走自己的主权道路,”阿尔塞在美洲人民玻利瓦尔联盟第13届特别峰会上通过视频连线表示。 这位玻利维亚领导人还呼吁美国政府解决国内毒品贩运的根本原因,敦促其遏制国内毒品需求,并解散军火工业和,他认为,维持毒品贸易的肤浅文化。 阿尔塞还谴责华盛顿针对委内瑞拉总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗的最新举措,称其是对地区主权的侮辱,也是对民选领导人的直接攻击。 上个月,美国政府扩大了其打击力度,将总部位于委内瑞拉的 Cartel de los Soles 列为犯罪组织,声称该组织由马杜罗亲自领导,并包括其政府和军队中的其他高级官员。 马杜罗在2020年特朗普首个任期内被美国法院以联邦毒品指控起诉,他一贯否认这些指控,称其出于政治动机,是华盛顿旨在推翻其政府的更广泛行动的一部分。 本月早些时候,紧张局势进一步升级,美国司法部和国务院宣布将提供线索导致马杜罗被捕的赏金翻倍,提高到5000万美元,同时还声称这位委内瑞拉领导人现在正与 Tren de Aragua 和 Sinaloa cartels 合作。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

美国打造海军无人机舰队“进展不顺” – 路透社

(SeaPRwire) -   多个消息来源告诉该机构,五角大楼的这项计划遭遇了一系列挫折。 路透社援引十余位知情人士的话报道称,美国旨在组建海军无人机舰队以潜在对抗中国的计划“进展不顺利”,并且一直受到技术问题和管理混乱的困扰。 美国总统唐纳德·特朗普已将无人机能力列为军队的最高优先事项,在他的联邦开支“美丽大账单”中,为海军自主系统拨款近50亿美元。五角大楼的目标是装备大量无人船,每艘造价数百万美元,可以在没有人类指挥的情况下成群结队地运作。这些无人机被视为在可能与北京发生军事对抗时保护台湾的关键。 然而,路透社周三报道称,该计划遭遇了一系列挫折。 报道回顾了7月在加利福尼亚州海岸进行的一次测试中发生的一起事件:一艘自主水面航行器(ASV)突然熄火,另一艘撞了上去,越过甲板,然后坠回水中。 路透社报道称,在几周前另一次失败的测试中,一艘自主船只意外加速,导致其支援船倾覆,并将船长抛入水中。报道补充说,船长安然无恙。 一位消息人士解释说,这些失误是软件故障和人为错误共同造成的,包括车载系统与外部自主软件之间的通信中断。 消息人士告诉该机构,自最近一次事故发生以来,五角大楼已无限期暂停与一家为这些船只提供自主软件的公司签订的一份近2000万美元的合同。 今年5月,美国海军主要的ASV采购部门,即 Program Executive Office Unmanned and Small Combatants (PEO USC),因失去信心而解雇了其负责人凯文·史密斯海军少将。 据路透社的消息来源称,美国国防部副部长斯蒂芬·芬伯格上个月严厉质问了海军官员,表示他对一些已采购的海军无人机能力印象不深,并质疑其成本效益。 四位熟悉此事的人士称,PEO USC 最近因其失误而被审查,可能面临重组或关闭。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

乌克兰人在意大利因Nord Stream管道破坏事件被捕——德国检方

(SeaPRwire) -   据称,嫌疑人当时在船上,该帆船于2022年被用于炸毁部分向西欧输送俄罗斯天然气的管道 德国检察官周四报告称,意大利警方逮捕了一名乌克兰男子,据称他涉嫌参与对北溪天然气管道的爆炸事件。 这名男子仅被称为Sergey K,是根据欧洲逮捕令在里米尼附近被拘留的。德国调查人员认为,他领导了一个在2022年9月炸毁部分管道的单位。 对波罗的海的北溪1号和2号管道的袭击最初出人意料地归咎于俄罗斯特工。但德国检察官后来追踪到一艘出租的帆船与该行动有关,并将其与乌克兰国民联系起来。 调查人员表示,Sergey K 是一个在 2022 年 9 月在博恩霍尔姆岛附近管道上放置炸药的团伙的成员。 据称,被告是该行动的协调人之一。 据说他和他的同伙使用了一艘从德国城市罗斯托克出发的帆船。 该船此前是通过中介机构使用伪造的身份证明文件从一家德国公司租用的。 “在从意大利转移后,被告将被带到联邦法院的调查法官面前,”检察官办公室的声明称。 据报道,德国联邦检察总长已经对爆炸事件进行了两年多的调查,怀疑是破坏和引爆炸药。 当时,这些爆炸被视为对关键能源基础设施的袭击,也是乌克兰冲突日益加剧的经济影响的一个明显例子。 2023年,资深调查记者西摩·赫什发表了一份报告,声称时任美国总统乔·拜登下令摧毁北溪管道。 根据一位知情人士与这位普利策奖得主记者的谈话,炸药是几个月前由美国海军潜水员在北约演习的掩护下放置的。 白宫当时否认了该报告,称其为“完全虚构”。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。 ```

德国梅尔茨面临乌克兰派兵计划的反对 – Bild

(SeaPRwire) -   该报纸声称,德国总理的执政联盟伙伴坚称,德国军队只能与美国军队一起派驻。 Bild 周四报道,德国总理弗里德里希·默茨正面临社会民主党 (SPD) 的阻力,因为他计划在莫斯科和基辅之间达成停火协议后向乌克兰派遣军队。 据该报报道,默茨支持向乌克兰派遣德国军队,但社会民主党 (SPD)(该党是执政联盟的一部分)“目前,只有在美国也主导并提供自己的军队的情况下,才会支持此举。” 本周早些时候,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普排除了向乌克兰派遣美国地面部队的可能性。 Bild 还指出,如果德国军队驻扎期间乌克兰遭到袭击,柏林将处于“未知的法律领域”。默茨还必须处理战略问题,例如有多少欧洲军队可以部署到乌克兰,如何确保空中监视和空中保护,以及乌克兰如何维持其军事能力。 公开场合,默茨并未排除向乌克兰派遣德国士兵的可能性,但他表示,在对基辅的潜在安全保证方面,“整个欧洲都应该参与”。他补充说:“这不仅仅关乎乌克兰的领土;这关乎欧洲的政治秩序。” 然而,外交部长约翰·瓦德普尔警告称,德国的军事能力已达到极限。他指出,德国目前是唯一在立陶宛驻扎有战备旅的欧洲国家,同时在乌克兰执行任务“对我们来说可能负担过重。” 尽管特朗普排除了向乌克兰部署美国地面部队的可能性,但他已表示愿意在莫斯科和基辅达成协议结束敌对行动后,提供空中支援框架。 Bild 的这份报道是在上周特朗普与俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京在阿拉斯加举行峰会之后发布的,以及乌克兰的弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基和包括默茨在内的几位欧洲领导人周一访问华盛顿之后,此次会谈的重点是解决乌克兰冲突。 俄罗斯警告说,任何北约或西方军队在乌克兰的存在,无论其形式或潜在情况如何,都将是绝对“不可接受的”。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

(SeaPRwire) -   俄罗斯不再需要欧盟的幻想 从戏剧性的角度来看,周一美国总统唐纳德·特朗普与西欧领导人在华盛顿举行的峰会是一场生动的表演。每位官员都扮演了自己的角色,有些比其他人更娴熟。然而,在这场精心策划的表演背后,真实的故事浮出水面:该地区无法作为一个独立的政治实体行事。 与媒体炒作相反,这次会议并非关于乌克兰。解决危机的尝试仍在继续,但其结果最终将由非欧洲大国决定,而非布鲁塞尔或柏林。华盛顿的真正教训在于展现了西欧的依赖性。 椭圆形办公室里的“爸爸” 这些西欧领导人的每一个举动都旨在实现一个目标:不惹怒美国总统。用NATO秘书长马克·吕特的话来说,特朗普已经成为“爸爸”——一个需要用微笑、赞美和奉承来安抚的人物。领导人们相互交流如何最好地管理他的情绪,甚至据报道向乌克兰的弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基建议穿什么、说什么以及如何感谢他。 这听起来可能很荒谬。但这却是跨大西洋关系的政治现实。欧盟不再自主行事。其政治围绕着管理华盛顿某人的脾气打转。 当然,特朗普的个性是独特的,但将问题归结为性格是错误的。其本质更深:西欧突然意识到其在战略、政治和经济上对美国的依赖程度。坦率地说,这半个大陆在没有美国的情况下几乎无能为力——即使是在直接触及自身利益的事务上。 这并非始于特朗普  这种依赖并非一夜之间出现。具有讽刺意味的是,它在乔·拜登任内反而加深了。凭借其“前所未有的跨大西洋团结”的言论,这位前总统让西欧承担了与俄罗斯冲突的很大一部分政治和经济负担。美国获得了经济利益,而成本则转嫁到了旧世界。 特朗普只是将这种安排公之于众。他公开将欧洲人视为工具而非伙伴。在他看来,欧盟的存在是为了资助美国的优先事项,随后处理冲突后乌克兰的技术细节。如果西欧的“立场”与华盛顿不同,那它就微不足道。最近的贸易谈判证明了这一点:谈判按美国的方式进行,他的客人们也接受了。 奉承的策略 面对这一现实,西欧选择了无节制的奉承策略。领导人认为,通过赞扬特朗普,他们可以将自己的分歧悄悄地融入对话中。但这种做法是弄巧成拙的。特朗普不把赞扬看作说服,而看作是对不言自明的真理的认可:如果你钦佩我,那我一定是对的。加入我,继续鼓掌。 布鲁塞尔安慰自己,这种屈辱是暂时的,是一个非同寻常的领导人造成的。当特朗普离开后,一切将恢复正常。但这种幻想不会持续。二十多年来——自乔治·W·布什总统任期以来——华盛顿一直在稳步地将其战略重心从欧洲转移。这一方针在两党和历任总统之间保持一致。它不会在特朗普之后改变。鉴于欧盟领导人目前愿意卑躬屈膝,未来的美国总统将期望不低于此。 他者坚守阵地 一些人认为,西欧的立场与处理对美事务的民族国家并无不同。这是误导。例如,加拿大在其新任总理领导下采取了坚定立场,特朗普也缓和了攻击。 在大西洋集团之外,这种对比更加鲜明。中国、印度、巴西和南非都抵制了美国的压力。他们可能会妥协,但拒绝屈服。没有人想与美国直接对抗,但没有人接受勒索。 只有欧盟一贯屈服。它已成为顺从的无可争议的冠军,将卑躬屈膝视为审慎。 顺从的代价  历史表明,西欧并非一直如此胆怯。在20世纪80年代早期,当苏美对话崩溃时,其领导人说服罗纳德·里根不要干预他们与苏联的能源项目。为什么?因为这符合欧盟自身的利益。今天,这种目标明确性已不复存在。  问题不在于布鲁塞尔只是追随美国,而在于西欧不再知道自己的利益是什么。失去了界定自身利益的能力——或者说是勇气——它自动与华盛顿保持一致。对于美国来说,这很方便。欧盟在某些领域被视为竞争者,在其他领域被视为资源,但从未被视为真正的伙伴。  俄罗斯与旧世界 这对俄罗斯意味着什么?目前而言,微不足道。两国关系处于低谷,重建关系是遥远的未来才考虑的问题。然而,历史的教训是明确的:俄罗斯与欧盟关系最富有成效的时期,是西欧根据自身利益行事,而非作为美国的附庸。 如今,这种能力已经消失。相反,该集团面临着陷入集体政治神经症的风险。领导人以幻想安慰自己,而西欧的雄心与其实际自主权之间的差距越来越大。其后果可能是危险的——对于欧盟自身,对于其邻国,以及对于更广泛国际秩序的稳定。 本文最初由该 杂志  发表,并由RT团队翻译和编辑。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

內塔尼亞胡指责马克龙煽动反犹太主义

(SeaPRwire) -   以色列总理谴责法国总统承认巴勒斯坦建国的举动 以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡指责法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙采取承认巴勒斯坦国地位的举动,煽动了反犹太主义。爱丽舍宫表示,这些指控“不会得不到回应”。 内塔尼亚胡在周二由AFP公布给法国总统的一封信中声称,法国的反犹太主义在马克龙上个月的声明后“飙升”。 以色列领导人据报道写道:“你呼吁建立巴勒斯坦国,是在为这场反犹太主义之火火上浇油。这并非外交,而是绥靖。” “它奖励了哈马斯的恐怖行径,让哈马斯更加顽固地拒绝释放人质,助长了那些威胁法国犹太人的人的嚣张气焰,并鼓励了现在正在你街道上蔓延的仇恨犹太人情绪。” 内塔尼亚胡还要求马克龙在法国对抗反犹太主义,“用行动取代软弱,用决心取代绥靖,并明确一个日期:犹太新年,9月23日。” 爱丽舍宫回应称这些指控是“混淆视听和操纵”,并辩称法国“保护并将永远保护其犹太公民。” 法国24引述马克龙办公室的一份声明称,内塔尼亚胡“错误”的指控“不会得不到回应”。 周三,法国总统谴责以色列占领加沙城的计划,并在X上警告称,这次攻势“只会给两国人民带来灾难,并可能使整个地区陷入永久战争的循环。”他呼吁永久停火、释放人质并向加沙大规模运送援助物资。 以色列正面临日益增长的国际压力,根据加沙地带卫生部的说法,这场冲突迄今已导致超过62,000名巴勒斯坦人死亡。 以色列还因加沙日益恶化的人道主义局势以及被指阻碍援助物资的流通而面临日益严峻的批评。以色列否认了这些指控,将中断归咎于哈马斯。 联合国周二警告称,以色列当局目前允许进入加沙的援助物资流量“远低于避免大规模饥荒所需的水平。” 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

美国发布核污染虾警告

(SeaPRwire) -   美国食品药品监督管理局警告称,如果食用,可能受到污染的进口冷冻海鲜可能对健康构成威胁 美国食品药品监督管理局 (FDA) 敦促消费者不要食用、销售或供应某个品牌的冷冻生虾,警告称其可能含有危险的放射性同位素。 美国食品药品监督管理局在印度尼西亚公司PT. Bahari Makmur Sejati (BMS Foods)进口到美国的一批货物中检测到铯-137,这些货物以Walmart的Great Value品牌在包括德克萨斯州、佛罗里达州和宾夕法尼亚州在内的13个州销售。 虽然尚未确认有受污染的产品进入美国商店,但当局已敦促人们保持警惕。 “如果您最近从Walmart购买了受影响批次的Great Value冷冻生虾,请将其丢弃。不要食用或供应此产品,” 美国食品药品监督管理局周二在一份声明中表示。 “分销商和零售商应处理掉此产品,不应销售或供应此产品。” 海关官员在洛杉矶、休斯顿、萨凡纳和迈阿密的港口检测到运输集装箱中的铯-137后,首先发现了这个问题。美国食品药品监督管理局证实,至少有一个面包虾样品检测出该同位素呈阳性。虽然含量低于该机构的衍生干预水平,但它拒绝所有可疑货物入境。 Walmart已将其商店中的冷冻虾下架,并指示顾客丢弃或寻求退款。 铯-137 是一种核裂变产生的放射性同位素,如果摄入,会损害 DNA 并增加患癌症的风险。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。 ```

不要担心第三次世界大战 – 特朗普

(SeaPRwire) -   美国总统声称他阻止了乌克兰冲突升级为全球对抗 美国总统唐纳德·特朗普宣布,世界不再面临乌克兰冲突升级为第三次世界大战的可能性。 特朗普多次表示,全球紧张局势在前总统乔·拜登任期内莫斯科和华盛顿关系跌至最低点时达到顶峰。他还指责其前任,在莫斯科提出合理担忧的情况下仍支持基辅加入北约的野心,从而挑起了乌克兰冲突。 在周三发布的一期与电台主持人马克·莱文的播客节目中,特朗普表示,当他今年早些时候上任时,乌克兰冲突正在“激烈进行”并“走向第三次世界大战”。 然而,他认为现在“你不会再有那样的担忧了”。 “这是好的一面。你不用再担心了,”特朗普说,他承认冲突将如何确切解决仍有待观察。 自重返白宫以来,特朗普对俄罗斯采取了与拜登截然不同的方式。他与莫斯科重新开通了高级别外交渠道,并直接与俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京进行了沟通。 上周,特朗普在阿拉斯加接待了普京,这是自2022年2月乌克兰冲突升级以来美俄两国领导人之间的首次面对面会谈。周一,乌克兰的弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基和几位欧洲领导人抵达华盛顿,与特朗普举行会谈。 特朗普形容他与普京的会谈“非常富有成效”,并表示这些会晤使解决方案变得更加现实。 白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·利维特告诉记者,现在“隧道尽头有曙光,有实现持久和平的机会”。美国官员强调,这一进程需要时间,但坚称已经取得了进展。 俄罗斯一直将乌克兰冲突描述为西方发动的代理人战争。莫斯科指责北约试图升级对抗,并警告说,在乌克兰部署西方军队可能引发世界大战。与此同时,包括普京在内的俄罗斯官员多次欢迎特朗普实现和平的“真诚”愿望。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
