Podcasts about China Mobile

Trotz aller Bemühungen, Chinas Fortschritte zu behindern, hat es mit dem Westen gleich gezogen. Trumps Zölle sind der verzweifelte Versuch, eine Entwicklung aufzuhalten, die man selbst angestoßen und auch von ihr profitiert hatte. Die Verlagerung der US-Industrie nach China.Ein Standpunkt von Rüdiger Rauls.Schwierige InformationslageWie es um China wirklich aussieht, ist für westliche Beobachter schwer nachzuvollziehen. Viele Berichterstattere ersaufen in Informationen, wissen aber oft selbst nicht, worauf es ankommt. So werden auch die Konsumenten von Nachrichten mit Daten und Informationen überschüttet. Aber was ist wichtig, um die chinesischen Zustände und Entwicklungen zu verstehen?Wie es um die wirtschaftlichen Kräfteverhältnisse tatsächlich aussieht, wird dann oftmals nur anhand von politischen Entscheidungen deutlich wie die Sanktionen gegen chinesische Unternehmen (Huawei, China Mobile oder auch Tiktok) oder nun Trumps Zollorgie. Manchmal werfen Meldungen überraschende Schlaglichter auf Chinas Wirtschaft und Entwicklung wie die jüngste Nachricht über die chinesische KI-Software deep seek. Ein bisher weitgehend unbekanntes Start-up brachte ein System auf den Markt, das in seiner Qualität den führenden amerikanischer KI-Software in Nichts nachsteht, aber mit einem Bruchteil an Kosten und Zeit hatte entwickelt werden können.Ähnliche Erfolge konnten chinesische Unternehmen wie Huawei bei der Entwicklung moderner Chips erzielen. Nicht nur die Informationen sind oftmals verwirrend, die Deutungen sind es noch mehr. Denn wir erfahren wenig über das Denken und Sichtweisen der Chinesen selbst sondern nur das, was die westlichen Medien uns darüber sagen. Diese Beeinflussung der öffentlichen Meinung zeigt Wirkung. Dennoch können die Tatsachen nur schwer übersehen werden: Trotz aller Einschränkungen und Behinderungen konnte der Aufstieg der chinesischen Wirtschaft nicht aufgehalten werden.Heute ist das Land der führende Warenproduzent der Welt und hat besonders in modernen Technologien wie der alternativen Energiegewinnung, Batterietechnik, Kommunikationstechnologie, Elektrofahrzeuge und anderen dem Westen den Rang abgelaufen. China hat sich innerhalb weniger Jahrzehnte von einem rückständigen verarmten Land der Dritten Welt zur zweitgrößten Wirtschaftsmacht entwickelt, und all das unter der Führung einer kommunistischen Partei. Das läuft allem Denken und aller Propaganda zuwider, die über den Sozialismus verbreitet wurden. Der Konflikt mit China ist somit nicht nur ein wirtschaftlicher sondern auch ein politischer.Auferstanden aus Ruinen...hier weiterlesen: https://apolut.net/chinas-wirtschaft-werkbank-der-welt-von-rudiger-rauls/ Hosted on Acast.

Frequently Asked Questions: Privacy, Security, and the State of Tech (Early 2025)1. What is "SparkCat" and why is it significant?SparkCat is malware discovered hiding in both the Apple App Store and Google Play. It uses optical character recognition (OCR) to scan users' photo galleries for cryptocurrency wallet recovery phrases and uploads them to attacker-controlled servers. Over 242,000 Android users downloaded infected apps. It highlights the evolving sophistication of malware and the need for increased vigilance, even with apps from reputable sources.2. What is the UK government asking Apple to do, and what are the potential implications?The UK government has reportedly ordered Apple to create a backdoor allowing access to encrypted cloud backups of users worldwide, through a technical capability notice under the Investigatory Powers Act. Apple is likely to discontinue its encrypted storage service in the UK rather than compromise user security globally. If Apple complies, it could set a dangerous precedent for other governments to demand similar access, undermining encryption and weakening security for everyone.3. What is the story about the man trying to buy a landfill, and what does it illustrate?A man is trying to buy a landfill to search for a hard drive containing his lost Bitcoin fortune. While seemingly absurd, it illustrates the very real consequences of poor digital asset management and data security. It highlights the permanence (and potential inaccessibility) of digital assets and the lengths people will go to recover them, even resorting to extreme measures.4. Why is the US considering banning the DeepSeek AI app?The US is considering banning the Chinese AI app DeepSeek due to concerns that it collects data for a foreign government (China). The app pumps data to China Mobile unencrypted, and there are close ties between the company and the Chinese military. This aligns with the US government's broader concerns about foreign-owned apps, especially those from China, posing national security risks due to data privacy and potential surveillance.5. What is the massive brute-force attack targeting VPNs, and how can organizations protect themselves?A large-scale brute-force attack is targeting VPN devices from companies like Palo Alto Networks, Ivanti, and SonicWall, utilizing nearly 2.8 million IP addresses. Attackers are attempting to guess usernames and passwords to gain unauthorized access. To protect edge devices, organizations should change default admin passwords to strong, unique ones, enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA), use allowlists of trusted IPs, and disable web admin interfaces if they are not needed, and also ensure VPN software is fully up to date.6. Why is Google's removal of its pledge not to build AI for weapons or surveillance significant?Google's removal of its pledge not to build AI for weapons or surveillance is a concerning development. It suggests a shift in the company's ethical stance and a willingness to potentially engage in activities that could have negative consequences for human rights and global security. It raises questions about the future direction of AI development and the role of tech companies in shaping its use.7. What is "enshittification" and how does it relate to current tech trends?"Enshittification" refers to the gradual decline of online services as they prioritize profits over user experience. This process involves platforms initially offering value to users, then shifting focus to business customers, and finally exploiting both for maximum profit. Examples include Twitter restricting API access, Facebook prioritizing sponsored content, smart TVs becoming data-hungry ad machines, and Google Assistant's diminishing functionality. It reflects a broader trend of tech companies sacrificing user experience for financial gain.

On February 5, 2025, the DeepSeek chatbot faces scrutiny for potential ties to China Mobile, a Chinese state-owned telecom. Security researchers identified obfuscated code on DeepSeek's login page, suggesting connections to systems run by China Mobile. DeepSeek admits to storing user data in China, raising privacy concerns. The U.S. government has previously sanctioned China Mobile due to national security issues related to its connections with the Chinese military. While no data transfers were detected during security tests, risks remain for some users. The U.S. Federal Communications Commission previously denied China Mobile's operation in the U.S. due to these concerns. Experts highlight that AI systems can expose sensitive personal and business data, increasing risk when affiliated with geopolitical adversaries. An independent analysis confirms a connection between DeepSeek and China Mobile, indicating risks for user engagement with the application.Learn more on this news visit us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Show Notes: Raymond Lei Yin moved to New York after graduating and has worked at Goldman Sachs for over 20 years, primarily in Hong Kong and Shanghai, China. He worked in China with a private fund for three and a half years and for UBS Asset Management as the Head of Asia Pacific and Head of China for the past 6 years. Now retired from UBS Asset Management, Raymond  is currently traveling around the world, visiting his parents and enjoying the outdoors. He is also looking for opportunities to get involved with communities, businesses or organizations where he can contribute his expertise. Capital Markets War Stories  Raymond shares many war stories from his time in Hong Kong, China, and the capital markets during the financial crisis. He started at Goldman Sachs in New York and eventually moved to Asia. He was a program analyst in 1992 and supported the international trading desk at Goldman. This experience was interesting, as the traders he worked with at the time were hires from Salomon Brothers and Credit Suisse First Boston (CSFB). He likens this time to working in a jungle where his goal was to survive each day.  Raymond's journey has been filled with challenges and opportunities, but he is now focused on pursuing his passion for learning (especially in AI) and helping other businesses to grow. Working in Equity Capital MarketsRaymond began his career in Hong Kong after realizing that the core part of Goldman's business was financial advisory and trading. He decided to look for a job outside Goldman and was about to resign when he was offered a position by a senior MD looking for a Chinese speaking analyst based in Hong Kong. He flew to London for interviews and was hired to work in equity capital markets, which he knew little about. Equity capital markets is an interesting area that straddles between investment banking and equity sales and trading. Raymond was trained by Eric Dobkin, the man who  introduced the concept of the Equity Capital Markets (ECM), which orchestrated IPOs and worked with both issuers and investors to set the price. During the Red Chip Boom in 1993, there was a huge demand for Chinese speaking bankers in Hong Kong, as there were not many Chinese bankers at that time. As the first full-time equity capital markets person based in Hong Kong, Raymond worked tirelessly to keep up with the pace of IPOs. Lesson Learned from the MarketOne lesson that Raymond learned during this time was that the market can be irrational. During the Red Chip Boom, Chinese IPOs were richly valued, due to scarcity of Chinese papers and the high demand for Chinese investments. However, since then, the market has seen several cycles of price fluctuations. To make money in the equity market, he believes that one must be a contrarian, have a long sustained power, and be liquid. In the early 90s, Hong Kong had an open market with many foreign capitals and traditional institutions representing their firms in London or New York. Goldman helped Chinese companies raise money in international capital markets through IPOs, global deposit receipts (GDRs), and convertible bonds (CBs). The Chinese government was involved in these deals, as they were selling their best assets to global investors in exchange for professional management and market discipline. The first deal was with Tsingtao Breweries, a famous beer company, and later with Shanghai Petrochemical and China Mobile and PetroChina. These companies were majority-held by the Chinese government, and Goldman had an edge in winning these deals. Goldman also worked on Korean companies like POSCO Steel and Samsung Electronics, as well as Thai and Indonesian companies. The Asian Financial Crisis The Asian financial crisis occurred in 1997, when the devaluation of the Thai Bhat and Indonesian Rupiah led to a massive attack in Hong Kong markets. For a few days, the entire HK equity market was dominated by one buyer, the Hong Kong government.  Raymond saw the government's bid for 100 million shares of Hong Kong telecom got hit within 2 seconds. This could mark the end of capital markets in Hong Kong, as the government was buying the significant part of HK equity market.  However, in hindsight this was the single best time to buy Hong Kong equities, as the Hong Kong government made a lot of money that day. In subsequent years, Goldman helped the Hong Kong government sell these stocks at a profit, returning the market to private investors.  One company Raymond worked with was PetroChina where Goldman took the company public and Raymond helped to introduce the team management to global investors. It was during the dotcom bubble era, there was ver little investor appetite for oil stocks.  Eventually, the IPO was done as a discount valuation.  Investors who bought at PetroChina IPO all made money if they hold on to their shares. From Goldman to Private Funds to UBS Asset ManagementRaymond's next move was to the buy side - a China based  private fund.  He spent three and a half years traveling between Shanghai and Hong Kong to help them set up their international operation, hire people, lease office space, get the Type 9 license, and set up their Hong Kong office. He later joined UBS Asset Management first as Head of China then later as Head of Asia Pacific.  He worked at UBS Asset Management for the past 6 years.   Influential Harvard Professors and CoursesRaymond shares that his Art History course at Harvard was one of the most useful, as it allowed him to appreciate artwork and visit museums worldwide. He also enjoyed the core course Cultural Revolution taught by Professor Roderick MacFarquar, which was not offered in China.

Apple CEO Tim Cook addresses the media next to the company's new Vision Pro augmented reality headset at the Apple Park campus in Cupertino, California, on Monday. [Photo/Agencies]6月10日，苹果首席执行官蒂姆·库克在其苹果公司新款增强现实（AR）Vision Pro智能眼镜旁向媒体发表讲话。该讲话发表于美国加利福尼亚州库比蒂诺的苹果飞船大楼。China's augmented reality industry is expected to usher in a new stage of growth, as Apple Inc announced on Monday that preorders for its Vision Pro AR goggles will begin on the Chinese mainland on Friday.苹果公司于6月10日宣布，其Vision Pro AR智能眼镜将于6月14日在中国大陆接受预购。中国的AR行业有望步入全新阶段。The move came as Apple attaches greater importance to China, which is not just a major market but also a vital link in its supply chains and a great source of innovation for the United States-based technological company, experts said.专家表示，苹果公司接受中国大陆预购预示更加重视中国市场。中国是苹果的主要市场和其供应链中的重要一环，也是苹果的重要创新来源。But as Apple brings ChatGPT to iPhones in an artificial intelligence overhaul, it will see rising competition from Chinese rivals that are also doubling down on AI applications, they added.但随着苹果在人工智能全面检修中将 ChatGPT引入iPhone，来自中国的竞争对手也在人工智能应用上加倍投入，人工智能市场竞争将日益激烈。Apple CEO Tim Cook said that the Chinese mainland will be among (added“moving” before“among”) the first group of countries and regions outside the US where consumers can buy Vision Pro locally, with it becoming available on June 28. Cook made the remarks on Monday as he opened Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference at its headquarters in Cupertino, California. 苹果首席执行官蒂姆·库克表示，中国大陆将成为美国以外消费者可以在当地购买Vision Pro的国家和地区之一。苹果Vision Pro智能眼镜将于6月28日正式上市。6月10日，库克在美国加利福尼亚州库比蒂诺总部举行的苹果全球开发者大会发表了上述言论。Cook said that the device can enable users to work and collaborate with an infinite virtual canvas for apps, relive treasured memories in a three-dimensional format and watch TV shows and movies in a one-of-a-kind personal cinema.库克说明该Vision Pro智能眼镜能让用户通过无限的虚拟画布使用应用软件来工作以及共同协作，以三维的形式重温珍贵的回忆，并在独一无二的个人影院中观影。This month, Chinese internet companies including Alibaba, Tencent, ByteDance, China Mobile and Sina are launching new apps for Vision Pro, such as Douyin VR Live, Taobao and Tencent Video, Apple said.苹果表示将于2024年6月，包括阿里巴巴、腾讯、字节跳动、中国移动和新浪在内的中国互联网公司正在为Vision Pro推出新的应用软件，如抖音VR Live、淘宝和腾讯视频。Pan Helin, a member of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's Expert Committee for Information and Communication Economy, said, "As the world's largest market and manufacturing base for consumer electronics, China is of long-term, strategic importance to Apple."工信部信息通信经济专家委员会委员盘和林表示：“作为全球最大的消费电子市场和制造基地，中国对苹果公司具有长期的战略意义。”Huajin Securities said in a research note that the Chinese mainland and China's Taiwan region provide a combined 64 percent of components and assembling services for Vision Pro, highlighting Apple's reliance on China's efficient supply chains.华金证券在研究报告中表示，中国大陆和中国台湾地区为Vision Pro智能眼镜提供了64%的组件和组装服务，突显了苹果对中国高效供应链的依赖。Cook said in an earlier interview with China Daily that "there's no supply chain in the world more critical to Apple than that of China".库克在此前接受的《中国日报》采访时表示，“世界上没有比中国供应链对苹果更重要的供应链了”。Zhao Siquan, a senior analyst at market research company International Data Corp's China branch, said that with Vision Pro's official release in China, the nation's software developers will create more innovative applications for it, giving new vitality to the domestic AR industry.国际数据公司（IDC）中国终端系统研究部高级分析师赵思泉表示，随着Vision Pro智能眼镜在中国的正式发布，中国的软件开发者将为其创造更多创新应用软件，为国内AR行业注入新的活力。Shipments of China's AR smart glasses jumped over 150 percent year-on-year in 2023 to 262,000 units, according to IDC.IDC的数据表明，2023年中国AR智能眼镜的出货量同比增长超过150%，达到26.2万台。At the event on Monday, Apple also announced that it is bringing OpenAI's ChatGPT to a wide range of its products and platforms, including the Siri virtual smart assistant. This is part of "Apple Intelligence", a new personalized AI system which aims to offer users a way to navigate Apple devices more easily.在6月10日蒂姆·库克的讲话中，苹果还宣布将 OpenAI的ChatGPT应用于其广泛的产品和平台，包括Siri虚拟智能助手。作为“Apple Intelligence”的一部分和全新个性化人工智能系统，此举希望为用户提供一种能够更轻松浏览苹果设备的方法。Apple said users of its products will be able to access ChatGPT's text-based answers as well as its image- and document-processing capabilities without the need to jump between tools. The English test version will become available in the autumn.苹果表示，其用户将使用由ChatGPT生成的文本答案以及图像-文档转化功能，无需在不同工具之间跳转。英文测试版将于2024年秋季推出。Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst at TF International Securities, said that the move showcases Apple's strengths in ecosystem integration, but investors want to see more.天风国际证券分析师郭明錤表示，此举展示了苹果在系统集成方面的优势，但投资者希望能看到更多的呈现。Due to the need for regulatory approval, some of Apple's latest AI features may not be available in China for the moment.由于需要获得监管部门的批准，苹果的一些最新人工智能功能目前无法在中国推出。Meanwhile, Apple is expected to see mounting competition from Chinese smartphone makers such as Huawei and Xiaomi in AI phones, experts said.专家表示，苹果将在人工智能手机方面与来自中国的智能手机制造商，如华为和小米竞争日益激烈。Wang Peng, a researcher at the Beijing Academy of Social Sciences, said, "Almost all big Chinese phone brands have developed their in-house rivals to ChatGPT and have showcased their progress in integrating AI into phones ahead of Apple."北京市社会科学院研究员王鹏表示，“几乎所有中国大型手机品牌都研发了对比ChatGPT的程序，在人工智能集成到手机中的进展领先于苹果。”Augmented reality (AR)n.增强现实Artificial intelligence (AI)n. 人工智能Apple's Worldwide Developers Conferencen.苹果全球开发者大会Industry and Information Technology's Expert Committee for Information and Communication Economy (ECTE)n. 工信部信息通信经济专家委员会International Data Corp (IDC)n.国际数据公司TF International Securitiesn.天风国际证券Beijing Academy of Social Sciences (BASS)n.北京市社会科学院

An Assessment of Key 5G-IoT Developments Including GSMA IBM Telco AI Collaboration, Juniper's AI-Native Networking Platform, and Nokia AVA Energy Efficiency. In this episode of The 5G Factor, our series that focuses on all things 5G, the IoT, and the 5G ecosystem as a whole, I look at the top 5G innovations and what's going on that caught my eye in the lead up to MWC24. Key AI and GenAI developments that stand out include the GSMA and IBM collaborating to advance AI skills and adoption using IBM's watsonx platform and training programs, Juniper launches its AI-Native Networking Platform built to optimize AI in assuring comprehensive, enhanced operator and end-user experiences, and Nokia's AVA Energy Efficiency solution targeted at ensuring operators fulfill their strategic sustainability goals.  My analytical review spotlighted: GSMA and IBM Pair Up to Boost Telco AI Skills. The GSMA and IBM unveiled a new collaboration to support the adoption and skills of AI in the telecom industry through the launch of GSMA Advance's AI Training program and the GSMA Foundry Generative AI program. The AI training program, the first in a new series of courses by GSMA Advance, seeks to prepare telco decision makers for the AI-era and bridge skills gaps in the telecom industry, by equipping members with skills and knowledge to help leverage Gen AI technologies using watsonx, IBM's AI and data platform with AI assistants. The training program will span a wide range of topics, from fundamental AI principles to specialized Gen AI applications in telecoms. I examine how the GSMA Foundry Generative AI program, by providing GSMA members with access to IBM's watsonx platform, can aid telecom decision makers in diligently exploring industry-specific use cases of Generative AI, including those serving the world's least connected communities, as well as ensuring that risk management is foundational and critical to operationalizing AI.   Juniper Unveils AI-Native Networking Platform. Juniper announced its AI-Native Networking Platform, purpose-built to leverage AI to deliver end-to-end operator and end-user experiences. Juniper promotes that it is trained on seven years of insights and data science development. Juniper's AI-Native Networking Platform is designed to unify all campus, branch and data center networking solutions with a common AI engine and Marvis Virtual Network Assistant (or VNA). This can enable end-to-end AI for IT Operations (or AIOps) to be used for deep insight, automated troubleshooting and end-to-end networking assurance. I assess why the new Juniper AI-Native Networking Platform can elevate telco AI strategic objectives by enabling IT teams to transition from maintaining basic network connectivity to delivering secure end-to-end experiences for customers and partners that boost business outcomes.  Nokia AVA Energy Efficiency Uses AI/ML to Advance Telco Sustainability. Nokia's Telco AI initiative's aimed at supporting the fulfillment of telco sustainability objectives through its Nokia AVA Energy Efficiency AI solution designed to help operators reduce CO2 emissions and network energy costs. Operators want to meet environmental, sustainability and governance (ESG) goals by optimizing their 5G networks. I expect that operators and their supply chain and value chain partners can commit to proactively addressing the sustainability challenge our society faces. Nokia is collaborating with key partners such as China Mobile in using the TM Forum's Autonomous Networks technology and AI/ML intelligence as well as the Green 5G project to help define a unified energy efficiency standard and delivery methodology. I assess why China Mobile selection of Nokia AVA Energy Efficiency to help reduce energy consumption and control costs without compromising the customer experience is an exemplar on how AI/ML can be enlisted to help mobile operators to fulfill their long-term sustainability goals.

In this episode of The 5G Factor, our series that focuses on all things 5G, the IoT, and the ecosystem as a whole, I'm joined by my colleague and fellow analyst, Todd Weiss, for a look at the top 5G developments and what's going on that caught our eye. Our discussion centered on: Major CSP CapEx Snapshot: Spotlight on AT&T, DT/T-Mobile, Verizon, China Mobile, Vodafone, China Telecom. Global CSP capital expenditures (CapEx) for the rest of 2023 and partially into 2024 have more clarity with the major CSPs providing mixed projections that indicate mostly flat CapEx growth. Notably, T-Mobile's parent, Deutsche Telekom, and Verizon have outlooks that respectively decrease CapEx 24% and 19% from 2022 to 2023 with Verizon cutting more in 2024. We investigate what the implications of the global CSP CapEx situation means for the 5G ecosystem in both the U.S. and other parts of the world.  T-Mobile Champions New 5G Carrier Aggregation Capabilities. T-Mobile is championing its new 5G carrier aggregation capabilities, which allows it to combine multiple 5G channels, or carriers, to deliver greater speed and performance. T-Mobile is now merging four 5G channels of sub-6 GHz spectrum – two channels of 2.5 GHz Ultra Capacity 5G, one channel of 1900 MHz and one channel of 600 MHz spectrum that is akin to combining four separate highways into a top performance superhighway. We assess the benefits customers can gain from the new capabilities, especially for 5G SA environments, as well as the competitive implications for the U.S. market.  Q2 2023 Earnings: AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon Put Up Good Numbers. AT&T Q2 2023 revenues came in at $29.9 billion, up 0.9% year over year (YoY), Verizon reported Q2 2023 revenue of $32.6 billion, yielding a non-GAAP profit of $1.10 per share, and T-Mobile generated service revenues of $15.7 billion, up 3% YoY. We examine how each of the big three U.S. operators fared across key subscriber and financial categories and where competitive advantages are generated.

The open radio access network (RAN) market recently gained significant U.S. government support when Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel touted open RAN as a way for operators to circumvent network equipment from China-based vendors like Huawei and ZTE. Specifically, Rosenworcel noted the ability for open RAN technology to provide operators with greater access to more secure networking equipment. “In the long run, these systems can help diversify the technology in our networks and grow the market for more secure 5G equipment,” she stated during a speech at a Center for Strategic and International Studies event earlier this year. The U.S. has earmarked billions of dollars to be used to help rip-and-replace existing network infrastructure from China-based vendors, including RAN equipment. The FCC had previously reported America's wireless network infrastructure included at least 24,000 pieces of Huawei or ZTE equipment spanning about 8,400 locations. Most of this work toward open RAN has been under the guidance of the O-RAN Alliance, which is an industry trade group working on technical specifications that foster greater adoption of open RAN equipment. However, that organization has been questioned for its inclusion of some members linked to organizations included on the U.S. Entity List that tracks organizations and individuals considered to support “activities contrary to U.S. national security and/or foreign policy interests.” This issue at one point resulted in Nokia pausing activities with the O-RAN Alliance over concerns about Chinese members' blacklisted status with the U.S. government. The O-RAN Alliance quickly adopted changes to its participation documents and procedures that brought Nokia back into the fold. John Strand, CEO of Strand Consult, stated that this connection should raise concerns over the security structure of open RAN equipment. “What I dislike is that open RAN has been marketed as an alternative to Chinese infrastructure,” Strand said. “Open RAN is just as Chinese as anything else. There's 11 or 12 working committees in [O-RAN Alliance] and China Mobile is either the chair or the vice-chair of nine or 10 of them. China Mobile and 43 other Chinese companies on the U.S. Entity List are key stake holders in [O-RAN Alliance]. … That's an issue.” On this episode of the SDxCentral 7 Layers podcast, Strand provides more insight into those potential concerns and areas where other security challenges could impact the adoption of open RAN architectures.

La Chine a annoncé son intention de se désengager du projet de câbles sous-marins reliant l'Europe à l'Asie. Cette décision est due à un changement de stratégie de la part de la Chine qui se concentre désormais sur le développement de ses réseaux de télécommunications internes. China Telecom et China Mobile, deux des opérateurs chinois les plus présents dans l'Empire du Milieu n'investiront plus dans la construction de ce câble. Le consortium ayant investi dans le projet de câbles sous-marins, qui comprend des entreprises comme Orange, Telecom Egypt ou Microsoft a fait un choix fort. Ils ont décidé que la société américaine SubCom était la plus à même de pouvoir construire ce système de câbles, au détriment du chinois Hengtong Marine. Une décision qui n'a pas plu aux deux groupes télécoms qui ont décidé de se retirer du projet. Le projet South East Asia-Middle East-West Europe 6 (Sea-Me-We 6) vise à installer au fond de l'océan, un système de câbles sous-marins de 19 200 km qui relieraient Marseille, en France et la cité-état de Singapour. L'ensemble se compose de 10 paires de fibres optiques ayant un débit de 12,6 Terabits par seconde chacune. Le coût total du projet est d'environ 500 millions de dollars. D'après le Financial Times, le départ de China Mobile et China Telecom s'explique par l'intensification des tensions entre la Chine et les États-Unis. Depuis, près de trois ans, les États-Unis ont refusé l'implantation de plusieurs câbles de télécommunications sous-marins impliquant des entreprises chinoises ou reliant directement les États-Unis à la Chine continentale ou à Hong Kong. À chaque fois, l'Administration Biden a évoqué de possibles problèmes de sécurité nationale dans le cas où ces câbles étaient installés. Bien que la décision de la Chine de se désengager du projet puisse sembler être une mauvaise nouvelle pour les entreprises européennes impliquées, il est possible que d'autres acteurs émergents dans le domaine des télécommunications, tels que l'Inde, puissent prendre la relève. En fin de compte, la mise en place de câbles sous-marins fiables est très importante pour soutenir la croissance économique mondiale et pour permettre à l'Europe et à l'Asie de se connecter de manière efficace. SEA-ME-WE 6 est prévu pour le premier trimestre 2025. À moins que le désintérêt chinois vienne contrecarrer les plans initiaux du consortium. Pour l'instant, un opérateur chinois public, China Unicom, est encore de la partie. Selon un membre du projet, l'implication des deux groupes ayant décidé de quitter le navire était « importante, mais que leur départ ne remettait pas en cause le projet ».

Wenn die Kurse nichts hergeben, dann sind Ausschüttungen eine tolle Story. So fühlt man sich als aufmerksamer Leser von Newslettern derzeit ein wenig zu stark marketingtechnisch in die Richtung Dividendenaktien gepusht. Nicht falsch verstehen. Ich schätze an den Dividenden-Aristokraten, also an alle jenen, die Jahrezehnte lang Dividenden bezahlen können und das jedes Jahr etwas mehr, dass sie das in der Regel deshalb können, weil sie über ein gutes Geschäftsmodell und eine gesunde Bilanz verfügen. Doch manchmal muss man sich schon fragen ob das erwirtschaftete Geld nicht besser ins Unternehmen und dessen Wachstum investiert wäre, als es an die Aktionäre auszuschütten. Laut Schoellerbank-Analyse ist es jedenfalls so, dass dividendenstarke Aktien in den letzten 88 Jahren um 1,5 Prozent besser performt als der Markt. Von November 1926 bis 2021 machte der Anteil des Dividendeneinkommens etwa bei den Aktien im US-Leitindex S&P 500 rund 39 Prozent der Gesamtrenditen des S&P 500 Index aus. Und im 2. Quartal 2022 liefernden laut Janus Henderson Investors die Unternehmen Rekorddividenden von 544,8 Milliarden USD, ein Plus von 11,3 Prozent. Das wird natürlich im nächsten Jahr nicht mehr ganz so üppig ausfallen, weil vor allem Ölkonzerne gute Dividenden liefern die 2023 wohl nicht mehr so stark sprudeln. Die weltweit zehn größten Dividendenzahler sind übrigens 1. der brasilianische Ölmulti Petrobas 2. Nestlé 3. Rio Tinto 4. China Mobile 5. Mercedes Benz 6. BNP Paribas 7. Der kolumbianische Energiekonzern Ecopetrol 8. Allianz 9. Spannend, schon ein IT-Wert mit Microsoft 10. Sanofi. Es sind also im Wesentlichen Öl-Multis, Autobauer, Banken, Versicherungen und Pharmakonzerne, die ihre Aktionäre gerne bedenken. Das US-Unternehmen hier vergleichsweise unterrepräsentiert sind hat steuerliche Gründe. Für sie sind die Alternativ-Geschenke an die Anleger, Aktienrückkäufe steuerlich günstiger. Für den Investor übrigens auch. Was man bei Dividenden von ausländischen Aktien nicht vergessen darf ist, dass hier die Steuer massiv zuschlägt, weil zur heimischen KeST auch noch die ausländische dazu kommt, die von der heimischen Finanz nicht vollends angerechnet wird. Theoretisch kann man sich die zu viel bezahlte KeSt beim ausländischen Finanzamt zurückfordern, doch wer tut sich den Aufwand schon an. Übrigens klar, dass kein kleiner Österreichwert bei den weltweit absolut größten Ausschüttungskandidaten dabei ist, aber relativ zum Kurs gesehen sind die Österreicher fleißige Dividendenzahler. Die österreichische Post AG bietet – nicht zuletzt weil sie seit Jahresbeginn schon knapp 18 Prozent verloren hat - eine Dividendenrendite von sechs Prozent.

英语新闻| 民航局：将尽快搜寻黑匣子丨No survivors of crash foundNo survivors have been found so far after a China Eastern Airlines plane crashed on Monday in South China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, local authorities said on Tuesday.22日当地政府表示，自东航一架客机于21日在广西壮族自治区境内坠毁后，截至目前，未发现机上幸存人员。Also on Tuesday, more than 2,000 search and rescue workers intensified efforts to recover the aircraft's two black boxes, or flight data recorders, to investigate the cause of the tragedy.22日，2000多名搜救人员全力寻找飞机上的两个黑匣子或飞行数据记录器，以调查悲剧的原因。Flight MU5735 left Kunming, the capital of Yunnan province, at 1:11 pm on Monday and was scheduled to arrive in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, at 3:05 pm. Air traffic controllers lost track of the plane over Wuzhou, Guangxi, at 2:21 pm.3月21日，东航MU5735航班于13时11分从云南省省会昆明市起飞，原定于15时05分到达广东省广州市。14时21分，该航班在广西梧州市上空失联。The flight was carrying 123 passengers and nine crew members, all Chinese nationals.机上共有旅客123名，机组人员9名，无外籍旅客。As of 9 pm on Tuesday, no survivors had been found, said Sun Shiying, chairman of China Eastern Airlines, at a news conference held in Wuzhou on Tuesday night by the investigation team of the State Council, China's Cabinet.22日晚，在国务院调查组于梧州举行的新闻发布会上，东航云南有限公司董事长孙世英表示，截至22日晚上9点，未发现幸存者。Sun said the company had established contact with relatives of all the passengers within 24 hours. The airline will provide care based on their needs.孙世英表示，东航已在24小时内与全部123名旅客的家属取得联系。东航将视他们的需要提供帮助。Zhu Tao, director of the Civil Aviation Administration of China's Aviation Safety Office, said at the news conference that the aircraft was severely damaged, which poses a huge challenge to the investigation of the cause of the crash.中国民用航空局航空安全办公室主任朱涛通报，本次事故飞机损毁严重，调查难度很大。"We are still at the preliminary stage of the investigation, so we cannot make any judgment. The key task now is to locate the two black boxes. We will immediately inform the public when the cause is confirmed," Zhu said.朱涛表示，鉴于调查工作刚刚开始，以目前掌握的信息，还无法对于事故的原因有一个清晰的判断。下一步调查组将全力以赴搜集各方证据，重点在事发现场飞行记录器的搜寻。一旦调查工作取得进展，将在第一时间公布。The administration called on Tuesday for all industry entities, including air traffic control, airlines, airports and pilot training institutes, to carry out a thorough, two-week safety inspection to eliminate safety hazards and ensure people's absolute safety.民航局于22日下发通知，要求立即开展为期两周的行业安全大检查，以消除事故隐患，确保人民生命绝对安全。此次大检查的范围包括各地区空管局、各运输（通用）航空公司、各服务保障公司、各机场公司、各飞行训练机构。Along with search and rescue workers, drones have been deployed to the crash site to search for more evidence over an area of nearly 680,000 square meters.无人机已同搜救人员一起被派往坠机现场，将对近68万平方米的区域进行作业，采集证据信息。Zhu Xiaodong, a rescuer with a drone rescue center in Guangzhou, said the drones' thermal imaging will help to locate the two black boxes, which record cockpit conversations and flight data.广州市天河区成至无人机救援中心工作人员朱晓东说，无人机的热成像功能将有助于寻找两个记录驾驶舱对话和飞行数据的黑匣子。According to video footage released on Tuesday by China Central Television, search and rescue workers who were marking debris also found charred wallets, train tickets, identification cards and bank cards at the crash site, which is in a forest near Tengxian county's Molang village.中央电视台22日发布的视频显示，坠机地点位于藤县埌莫埌村附近的一处山林里，救援人员在在坠机搜救核心区域发现了飞机残骸及烧焦的钱包、火车票、身份证、银行卡等随身物品。Much of the debris from the aircraft was in small pieces, said Li Chenbin, a technician with China Mobile's Guangxi branch who heard a loud bang echoing across the mountains at around 2:20 pm on Monday.广西移动的网络技术人员李晨斌说，21日14时20分左右，他突然听到山中巨响。整个飞机全部已经散掉了，全是碎片。Li, who was working nearby on the mobile communication network, said, "I then rushed to the site with my colleagues and saw the aircraft debris, much of which was in small pieces. It was scattered all over the mountains. The biggest piece I saw was part of a wing with China Eastern's logo."李晨斌当时正在事故附近的山上作业，他说，“我和同事以最快的速度到达现场，看到飞机残骸。整个飞机全部已经散掉了，全是碎片，散落在山里。我看到的最大的一块碎片是机翼，上面有东航的标志。”Because the crash site is hemmed in by mountains on three sides, with only a narrow road leading there, it has been difficult to carry out search and rescue work. Villagers have been using motorbikes to carry supplies to the crash site.由于事故地点三面环山，只有一条小路可以到达，搜救工作难以开展。村民们用摩托车为救援队运送物资。Vice-Premier Liu He and State Councilor Wang Yong arrived in Wuzhou in the early hours of Tuesday to guide the rescue efforts, the aftermath and the investigation into the cause of the crash. They inspected the crash site in the morning and held a meeting to discuss the search and rescue plan.国务院副总理刘鹤和国务委员王勇于3月22日凌晨抵达广西梧州，指导现场救援、善后处置及事故原因调查工作。22日上午，他们来到现场勘查，召开专题会议讨论搜救计划。According to the meeting, search and rescue teams must race against time to search for survivors and leave no blind spot. In addition, one-on-one care must be provided to relatives of the passengers, and the cause of the crash must be determined as soon as possible.会议强调，要争分夺秒做好人员搜救工作，不留死角、不留盲区。要深入细致做好家属安抚，组织人员一对一进行心理抚慰和情绪疏导，并尽快查明事故原因。 UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed his sorrow for families of those aboard and to the Chinese government, said Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for the UN chief.联合国秘书长发言人杜加里克在新闻发布会上表示，联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯对中国东方航空MU5735航班失事的消息感到非常难过，我们向遇难者家属以及中国政府和人民表示哀悼。preliminary 英[prɪˈlɪmɪnəri];美[prɪˈlɪmɪneri]adj.初步的，预备的n.初步行动，准备工作；预赛，预试cockpit 英 [ˈkɒkpɪt]; 美 [ˈkɑːkpɪt]n.（飞机的）驾驶舱，（赛车的）驾驶座；战场，格斗场所

Hello Interactors,The Olympics are in full swing. I admit I’m staying up later than I probably should be, but I’m a sucker for the Olympics. Yes it’s strange seeing a white strip of snow down a brown windy hill or watching big air competitions against a dystopian industrial waste site, but hey, that’s Beijing! But maybe I’m being too judgmental. Surely there’s more than meets the eye.As interactors, you’re special individuals self-selected to be a part of an evolutionary journey. You’re also members of an attentive community so I welcome your participation.Please leave your comments below or email me directly.Now let’s go…THE GU GLUEJubilant in her successful landing, the Chinese skier put on the brakes spraying snow over the blue padded barriers as the camera centered her in the frame. She had just landed her first jump in the Olympics’ big air competition. She pulled off her goggles and beamed a big, immaculate toothy smile into the camera. My first thought was, “This girl is not Chinese.” I had never heard of Eileen Gu, but that was about to change.She had just landed a right double 1440. That’s four full gravity defying rotations in the air after descending a hill 20 stories high and then launching off a curved ramp pointed to the sky. She was the first woman to land a similar double cork 1440 just two months prior. That prompted the French skier, Tess Ledeux, to counter in January by being the first woman to land a 1620 – four and a half rotations.Ledeux managed to land that same jump in her opening run at the Olympics in Beijing earlier this week and held the top spot until Gu’s third and final jump. While Gu was at the top waiting her turn, her mom called from the stands at the bottom of the hill. Yan Gu introduced Eileen to skiing in Lake Tahoe where she sometimes worked as a ski instructor. She told her daughter to play it safe and stick to the 1440. Eileen responded, “Mom, executive call here, vetoed. I am going to make the 16, and you are going to deal with it.”After visualizing the trick when her eyes closed, arms swaying, shoulders jerking, like a dog running in their sleep, she aimed her skis down the slope. High in the sky, confident in her 1620 launch, Gu grabbed the bottom of her ski – a safety grab – a trick she had never attempted before this run. She landed triumphantly and the judges launched her into first place. As she threw her fist in the air in celebration it was rewarded with a loud cheer from the Chinese fans sprinkled throughout the stadium. Her mom, of course, being one of them.Yan Gu was born in Shanghai and grew up in Beijing. The Olympics are in her home town. Her mom, Eileen’s grandmother, still lives there. When Yan was in her twenties, she did what many other Chinese students did, and continue to do. She sought an education in America. After receiving a degree in chemistry from Peking University in Beijing, she enrolled in a master’s program in biochemistry and molecular biology at Auburn University in the late 80s. She went on to be a research associate at Rockefeller University before going on to earn an MBA at Stanford in 1994. She now works at an investment firm in San Francisco where she specializes in Chinese investments.The director of an extreme outdoor sports high school in Mt. Hood Oregon, Mike Hanley, said “Yan is very pleasant but one of the most intense human beings I have ever met in my life. She smiles and tells you how great you are. But then you find out, after the fact, what the requests are. She loves her daughter and wants her daughter to get priority.”Getting priority attention from coaches and trainers in America means paying more money. Extorsion? Maybe. But money talks. Yan, a single parent, was willing to pay whatever it took to secure the right training to match her daughter’s ability and her own drive to insure her child’s success. Not many parents of talented kids can afford to do this without striking deals with big name extreme sports brands, like Red Bull or Burton, on behalf of their kids. Child labor? Maybe. But it pays the bills.But Yan has been off the hook for paying much at all since her daughter started striking her own lucrative modelling and endorsement contracts. She’s was a millionaire before hitting 18. She not only landed Red Bull, but Cadillac, Apple’s Beats by Dre headphones, Tiffany’s, Louis Vuitton and Victoria’s Secret. Those are some big names. But in China she’s also paid to represent the Bank of China, China Mobile, a milk company, and Starbucks of China. She is estimated to command $2.5 million per deal. With over 20 modelling, spokesperson, and endorsement deals she must be worth over $50 million dollars at age 18. And that was before she won the gold medal.In addition to being beautiful, talented, and rich, she is also smart. She scored 1580 on the SAT out of a perfect score of 1600, was the first to graduate early at her private high school in the Bay area, and will attend Stanford next fall. Oh, and did I mention she plays the piano and was one of the top distance runners in the state of California before turning her attention to the Olympics? She is what overly competitive parents the world over wish their kids to be. Sorry kids of demanding parents, Eileen has set the bar high. And for Eileen, good luck living through the onslaught of Western chauvinism, racism, and ethnocentrism. Not to mention a healthy dose of wealth, ability, and beauty resentment and jealousy.Gu decided, supposedly with her mother’s urging, to compete for China three years ago when she turned 15. She had grown up fluidly splitting her time between China and Chinese language and culture and the U.S. and American culture. As she said in a press conference this week, “in the US, I’m American, and when I’m in China, I’m Chinese”. But reporters, mostly male, weren’t satisfied with the answer. The English sports reporter, Oliver Brown, thought that line was “a cute line, but sadly impractical, for the simple reason that China does not recognise dual citizenship.” Gu refuses to indulge reporters on admitting whether or not she renounced her U.S. citizenship or whether the Chinese government made an exception for the girl the Chinese media call “Snow Princess”. Insistence by Western media, and many others, on making a bi-racial teenage woman pick one side or the other will likely not relent any time soon.REPRESENTATION ORIENTATIONI’m reflecting on my own initial reaction to learning Gu wasn’t representing America. My first thought, like many, is she’s a product of American culture, education, coaching, and lavish ski schools and resorts. Other athletes are saying the same thing. Jen Haduk, a Winter X Games gold medalist and a former member of the U.S.A Women’s team, told the New York Post that “[Eileen Gu] became the athlete she is because she grew up in the United States, where she had access to premier training grounds and coaching that, as a female, she might not have had in China…I think she would be a different skier if she grew up in China. This makes me sad.”Eileen Gu admits the access she had to snow, coaching, and opportunity allowed her to pursue her dreams and potential. In an interview on NBC, they show her giving a speech in middle school on the impact Title Nine had on women and sport. She also reveals in that interview that every trick she learned in America she took to China where throngs of young Chinese girls were eager to learn from her.A Chinese-American girl fluent in Mandarin teaching Chinese girls to do tricks on skis also helped her become the athlete she is. Eileen Gu would not have been the skier she is had she grown up in China, but Chinese girls will now grow up trying to become the skier she is. And you can bet the Chinese government will see to it they have what they need to succeed. In fact, some believe it was the money and support China offered Eileen Gu three years ago that may have contributed to her decision to represent that country. An offer the American team I’m sure could not match. Another Yan Gu deal made on behalf of her daughter? Perhaps. But you can bet other parents of bi-racial or dual citizenship kids would be tempted to do the same.Eileen Gu was born with rare athletic abilities. She was also born fearless. It was one of the reasons her mother made sure she had ski lessons. She could see as a young child that her daughter lacked the kind of fear most of us have skiing fast down a mountain of snow and ice. After suffering a concussion as a young teenager on a practice run, an injury that put her out of commission for a week, she couldn’t wait to get back to jumping. These natural abilities cannot be taught regardless of where you grow up.And we shouldn’t be so quick to diminish Eileen’s lived experience as a Chinese-American routinely visiting her family in China. While it has only accounted for five or six years of the 18 she’s been alive, it’s undeniably part of who she is, what she does, how she thinks, and what she believes. But I, like so many others, didn’t consider that in my initial reaction and judgement of Eileen Gu. I jumped to seeing her as representing a country and only after did I question my reaction and come to see her as a human being.As geographers Alan Latham and David Conradson wrote in 2003, even the field of human geography is “Dominated by an obsession with the politics of representation.” Little interest has historically been given to “considerations of the place, or the productiveness, of practice” by individual human beings.By seeing Eileen Gu as Chinese-American, bi-racial, or dual citizen can lead to objectification and categorization. There is a growing understanding and recognition in the social sciences that race categories often lead to either feelings of fear or desire. For example, unkept asylum seekers crossing the border from Latin America may elicit fear leading many to want to kick them out. Meanwhile, a super-model, Chinese-American, Olympic gold medal athlete elicits a desire to claim her as ‘theirs’.As we sit and watch Eileen Gu smile for the camera after performing death defying feats with sublime grace or see a magazine cover graced with her face, we are reduced to dwelling on her race. Those of us in the West have grown up being barraged with pictures, paintings, movies, comics, and text that portrays races different from our own in insufficient and often inaccurate ways. For China and the Chinese it’s a form of Orientalism. The word Orient is derived from a Latin word oriēns which can mean anything originating from the East, including the sky, sun, or lands and people East of Europe. Orient was thought of as the East and it’s antonym, Occident, was thought of as the West.This word and it’s denotations and connotations allowed Western scholars, writers, artists, and designers to divide the world between ‘us’, the West, and ‘them’ the East. The Orient was portrayed as a place far away with exotic customs, cultures, and people – ‘Other-than’ or ‘Other-worldly’; a place to be explored, conquered, and diminished. Consequently, its people were portrayed as ‘Others’ who were to be either ‘saved’, slaved, exploited, or killed.  It’s a portrayal that continues to this day.James Bond is the suave savior from the West who is shaken by exotic foreigners but stirred to action through acts of either violence or sex. And while we know it’s fiction, it’s filmed in a pseudo-authentic way that often includes a wink or a nod from Bond into the camera. Indiana Jones does the same thing. Steven Spielberg told it’s creator, George Lucas, it’s a “James Bond film without the hardware.”MIND AND BODY EQUALITYThe late Jamaican-British sociologist, Stuart Hall led efforts beginning in the 1960s to include race and gender in the scholarship of cultural studies. He observed in 1993 that social scientists, including post-colonial geographers, continue to downplay the role text, images, and symbols play in how we relate to the representation of cultures foreign to Western tradition. He believed representation should be considered within a wider cultural context. Hall believed the “processes of artistic production and ownership, use of media technologies, practices of distribution, government legislation and regulation, as well as different forms of audience consumption across the globe, influence how an image is ‘read’ and understood.”For highly produced imagery like Bond films or pictures of Eileen Gu in an advertisement, there is an intent by the producer of the image to encode a particular message to the viewer. But how viewers then decode and interpret that message is as variable and complex as humanity itself. The geographical context that informs an individual consumer’s identity influences the meaning of that message.The imagery in Bond Films or stylized photos of Gu also don’t provide a voice to the displaced or marginalized people that make up the bulk of these ‘foreign’ populations. The West can use the power of imagery to impose meaning which only perpetuates the idea that the West controls the rest. ‘We’ hold dominion over ‘them’. As geographer Anoop Nayak puts it, “The power of whiteness to continually narrate the existence of racialised Others is a violent reminder of the privilege that comes with being located as the architects and inheritors of modernity.”Eileen Gu just may be fashioning these Western media mechanisms into a weapon of her own. She has the potential to use her talent, intelligence, and good looks – and the dominant Western style media platforms – to give voice to those in China who do not. If we’re to believe Eileen Gu, she wants to inspire and empower young Chinese-born girls to use sport as a way to give them a voice. She knows they don’t have Title Nine to help them in China, so she’s using her Chinese language skills and her individual beauty, elegance, intelligence, and grace as a substitute. All under a Chinese flag. She is using the media tools of traditional Western domination not to hush or misconstrue but to crush what oppresses young girls so they can see what they can do.Eileen is outspoken and well spoken. She’s come out against increased Asian hate crime in America and supports the BLM movement. But she remains silent on human rights abuses in China. This really bothers people. Especially reporters. Meanwhile Tesla sells more cars in China than anywhere in the world. Where are the calls for Elon Musk to speak out? Microsoft was the first software company allowed to open an office in China around the same time Eileen’s mom was coming to America. It remains a highly productive, innovative, and influential subsidiary for Microsoft. I’ve witnessed myself. I don’t see reporters demanding Satya Nadella or Bill Gates to come out against China. Eileen, just like Elon, Satya, and Bill, know that to do so means disadvantaging their chances for influence from inside China.  Could it be that these Western, mostly male, reporters only see Gu as a two-dimensional, bi-racial American girl? Are they put off by how she expertly and effortlessly dodges their questions? Are they frustrated they can’t dominate this woman, this girl, this Asian-American who can look and sound Western one moment and Chinese the next? When the British reporter Oliver Brown writes how her well crafted and practiced line, “in the US, I’m American, and when I’m in China, I’m Chinese”, came across as ‘cute’ to him, is that not only condescending but patronizing, paternalistic, and misogynist? And did he not politicize, objectify, and perhaps ‘Orientalize’ her by insisting her words were “sadly impractical, for the simple reason that China does not recognise dual citizenship.”? There is nothing simple about any of this.And am I guilty of doing the same when my first reaction was to judge her on her appearance without knowing anything about her, her life, her family, her culture, or her intentions?Who knows what her real citizenship is. Maybe China turned a blind eye to their policy that refuses dual-citizenship. It’s a practical move on their part if it means they get a world renowned Snow Princess Chinese ambassador out of it. I wouldn’t put it passed Eileen and her mom to scheme and arrange such a deal. Her mom is a professional Chinese deal maker, after all. Just as Musk, Nadella, and Gates are. Who knows what arrangements these successful Western businessmen have with China, but you can bet they’re practical.When the ski coach from Oregon – who knows a thing or two about dealing with Eileen and her mom – was pressed on what he thought of Eileen choosing to ski for China he said, “It’s a decision that seems practical and pragmatic, just like every decision she makes.”In the 1880s and 1890s, a French aristocrat interested in the history and sociology of sport toured America and England learning about sports administration. His name was Pierre de Coubertin. He was particularly fascinated by rugby. He believed it best demonstrated how “organised sport can create moral and social strength” and how it could “help to set the mind and body in equilibrium”. As a former rugby player, I concur.He took his learnings back home and with the help of the French government organized the first Olympic committee in 1894. By 1896 the first modern Olympic games took place in Athens. It attracted the largest contingent of international athletes of the time.As I watch the remainder of the Olympics I’m trying to see through the media veils that distort and disorient portrayals of people. Instead of being just another American rooting for Americans, I’m marveling at the athletically gifted, courageous, and tenacious humans participating in ‘organized sports that have shaped their moral strength.’ Maybe if we all do that together we can also build social strength. Watching Eileen Gu twirl through the air while dodging the admonishing stare can be dizzying — and then some. But seeing her as a human first and an athlete second sets my mind and body in equilibrium.Thanks for reading Interplace! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.

王濛解说哪句最好笑？三个字：每句话！｜Which commentary of Wang Meng is the most funny? Every word!With the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games underway, Wang Meng, a four-time short track speed skating Olympic champion, is once again winning waves ofhurrahsfrom millions of Chinese viewers. But this time, the praise is not for herprowesson the ice, but on the microphone as she delivers passionate, humorous and unique commentary on the events.随着2022年北京冬奥会的到来，我国短道速滑名将、冬奥四金得主王濛，再次赢得了数百万中国观众的喝彩。但这次并不是因为其高超的速滑技巧，而是她充满激情、风趣幽默和独具一格的赛事解说。 As China won its first gold medal in the 2,000-meter short track skating mixed relay on Saturday, Wang's commentary, full of her signature straightforwardwitdelivered with a strong Northeast China accent,wowedmany netizens and created major buzz on Sina Weibo, the country's Twitter-like platform.2月5日，中国短道速滑混合接力队拿下本届冬奥会男女混合2000米接力项目金牌，为中国代表团赢得首金。王濛的解说带着浓重的东北口音，她标志性的直爽和机智，赢得了许多网友的喝彩，并在微博上引起了热议。By Tuesday, there were some 80 topics involving Wang on the platform. One, which specifically tagged Wang's commentary, has obtained more than 1.8 billion views.截至2月8日，微博平台上已经出现了约80个和王濛相关的话题，其中一个的标题就是“王濛解说”，阅读量已经超过了18亿。Paired with Huang Jianxiang, a popular Chinese sports commentator, Wang, one of China's mostdecoratedOlympic athletes, started her commentary career on the first day of the short track speed skating competition via Migu, a subsidiary of China Mobile that provides digital content and related services.作为中国获得奥运会金牌最多的运动员之一，王濛与中国知名体育解说员黄健翔一起，在短道速滑比赛的第一天就通过咪咕开启了她的解说员生涯。咪咕是中国移动旗下，负责数字内容及相关领域服务的子公司。 During the race, Wang, from Northeast China's Heilongjiang province, barely sat down. She jumped up and down, waved her arms and cheered for the Chinese team.在比赛过程中，这位来自黑龙江省的东北女孩没有坐下。她跳跃着，挥动着手臂为中国队加油。 With a northeastern accent, Wang shouted: "Go! Come on! You can always trust the Chinese short track speeding skating team!" She encouraged each member and called them by their nicknames, which led to her receiving countless thumbs-ups and laughs on Migu.“你永远可以相信中国短道速滑队！”王濛用那一口东北腔呐喊着。她叫着队员们的昵称，不断鼓励着他们，给观众带来了无尽的欢乐，也让她在咪咕上收获了无数赞美。 When skater Wu Dajing crossed the finish line and was waiting for the final result, Wang slapped the table and roared: "My eyes are like rulers. I'm sure China has won!"当中国选手武大靖冲过终点线等待最终结果时，王濛拍桌大喊：“我的眼睛就是尺我告诉你们，肯定赢了！” The comment quickly became a catchphrase on Chinese social media, helping the 37-year-old attract even more viewers.这一金句迅速成为中国社交媒体上的流行语，给这位37岁的解说员带来了更多观众。Lei Min, a civil servant in Beijing, is one of them.北京市民雷明（音译）是其中的一员。"I downloaded the Migu app just to hear Wang's commentary," she said. "Her passionate explanation of the competitions made me feel like I was also engaged in the Games.“我下载咪咕App就是为了听王濛的解说。”他说，“她对比赛激情四射的解说让我觉得自己身临其境。”"As a veteran skater, Wang's commentary is professional. But her biggest attraction for me is that she explains technical skills related to short track speed skating in a way that everyone can understand and accept.“作为一名经验丰富的短道速滑运动员，王濛的解说是专业的。但对我来说，她最大的吸引力在于，她以一种人人都能理解和接受的方式解释了与短道速滑有关的技术技巧。”"I'm convinced by her professionalism, and I'm ignited by her passion."“我为她的专业精神所折服，也被她的热情点燃。” A Weibo user using the name Xixi 2002 recorded funny discussions between Wang and Huang in her post, saying that almost every conversation between the two was interesting and classic. She also imitated Wang, adding that: "You can always trust the commentary of Wang and Huang."一位名为“汐汐2002”的微博用户记录下了王濛和黄健翔之间有趣的对话，表示两人句句包袱，句句经典。她也模仿王濛补充道：“你可以永远相信王濛和黄健翔搭档的解说。” Wang's commentary during Sunday's AFC Women's Asian Cup soccer final was also a hot topic online, with some netizens describing it as cross-talk, a form of Chinese comedy.2月6日，王濛对女足亚洲杯决赛的解说也成为了网上的热门话题，一些网友将其描述为相声（中国的一种喜剧形式）。 LazyXuuu, another Weibo user, said in a post on Monday that the rhythm of Wang's commentary is wonderful, and her humorous introductions of the skaters are especially memorable.另一位微博用户LazyXuuu 2月7日发博表示，王濛的解说节奏非常好，对选手们幽默的介绍尤其令人难忘。 "Besides quickly catching changes in competitions and explaining them to viewers, Wang can inspire viewers when Chinese teams fall behind, and can help them focus more on the athletes' efforts rather than the results," the netizen commented, adding that Wang promotes understanding between the skaters and audience.“除了快速捕捉比赛中的变化并向观众解释外，王濛还能在中国队落后时鼓励观众，帮助他们更多地关注运动员的努力，而不是唯金牌论。”这位网友还补充道，王濛促进了运动员和观众之间的共鸣和理解。 The post has been forwarded more than 9,700 times and obtained more than 100,000 thumbs-ups by Tuesday.截至2月8日，这篇微博被转发了9700多次，点赞数超过了10万。Wang won four gold medals in the women's 500m, 1,000m and 3,000m relay at two Winter Olympic Games (Turin 2006 and Vancouver 2010). She retired after the 2014 Sochi Games.在2006年都灵冬奥会和2010年温哥华冬奥会上，王濛收获了短道速滑女子500米、1000米和3000米接力的四枚金牌。2014年索契冬奥会后，她选择了退役。hurrah英 [həˈrɑ:]；美 [hʊˈrɑ,-ˈrɔ,hə-]int.好哇;万岁prowess英 [ˈpraʊəs]；美 [ˈpraʊəs]n.英勇;高超技艺wit英[wɪt]；美[wɪt]n.风趣;才思;理解力;智力;明智wow英 [waʊ]；美 [waʊ]v.使叫绝;博得…的称赞decorate英 [ˈdekəreɪt]；美 [ˈdekəreɪt]v.授予…勋章(或其他荣誉)

Today on The Negotiation, Todd speaks with Justin Mallen, Founder, and CEO of Silk Road Telecommunication. He shares what it is like being one of the few successful foreign entrepreneurs in China, having entered the market during a time when it was far from the economic powerhouse that it is today.Justin says, “China's telecom infrastructure is owned and operated by three incredibly large, state-owned enterprises: China Telecom, China Unicom, and China Mobile. Back then, they had the one key resource which you needed: networking; and they did not want people in their space.”Justin defines success, at least in the early days, simply as “being able to create a business that had staying power”. SRT is a capital intensive venture that was founded in 2000. It is a  thriving operation today, but the road to get to this point was fraught with scores of challenges in the beginning. Primarily, it was a matter of turning these carriers—and other gatekeepers—from competitors into partners. Justin's prediction that the internet would take the world by storm in the near future was a driving force that paid off in spades.As a data center business, SRT began with infrastructure as a service as its sole focus: they build, operate, maintain, and own the buildings that house all the servers for the internet. Today, these sites serve as the “heartbeat” for tech companies such as Alibaba, Tencent, and JD.com. Because of recent, rapid advancements in technology, today, SRT also offers platforms as a service (cloud, data, and big data analytics vendors) as a necessary additional layer atop infrastructure.Information traveled incredibly slowly in the early 1990s China. Justin's initial goal was to simply speed things up. The biggest strength he saw in the country's carriers was that they were very eager to invest in building up the infrastructure and capabilities of the internet. The goal of SRT was to develop the infrastructure so that the cost of delivery to consumers could be minimized. Over time, this grew the number of internet users in China to over 900 million in the first quarter of 2020.5G takes the latency—the time it takes for data to move between a device and the servers—down to zero. It makes connectivity much smoother and effectively instant. Driverless cars are incredibly prone to accidents if they use 4G, with its latency of 40 milliseconds. 5G removes this barrier, as well as those of many other industries, which allows for further innovations such as telemedicine and remote surgery.
