Rani Dabrai is a Certified EOS® Implementer and the only one currently based in Ireland. She is a seasoned entrepreneur who started her first business at 25 and went on to lead ventures ranging from a global virtual assistant company to coordinating international trade missions for US governors and senators. After a successful exit, Rani served as Director of the World Trade Centre in Dublin, driving FDI and international trade. She now sits on UNICEF Ireland's advisory council and is a Senior Partner to the Monaco Foundry. In this episode… Understanding what lies beneath the surface of a team is one of the most overlooked aspects of leadership. Missed cues, unspoken frustrations, and unaddressed conflicts can quietly derail growth and morale. How can leaders better “read the room” to unlock stronger communication, trust, and results? Seasoned entrepreneur Rani Dabrai emphasizes the importance of emotional intelligence and the ability to tune into what's not being said. Drawing on her entrepreneurial journey — from founding a global virtual assistant company to coordinating international trade missions — Rani highlights the value of identifying gateway products, facilitating difficult conversations, and staying present with her teams. For her, long-term success depends on a leader's willingness to address hard truths, adapt to change, and leverage human connection even in an AI-driven world. Tune in to this episode of the Smart Business Revolution Podcast as John Corcoran interviews Rani Dabrai, Certified EOS Implementer at EOS Worldwide, about the power of reading the room in business. Rani shares how her upbringing shaped her emotional intelligence, the origins of her concierge company Miss Moneypenny, and how a drug dealer helped her discover her best marketing strategy. She also discusses EOS tools, team accountability, and the human advantage in the AI age.

Donald Trump is van plan meer troepen te sturen naar meer grote steden. Politiestaat? Dictatuur? Nee, zegt Trump, maar de mensen willen dat best een beetje. Washington begint te wennen aan een straatbeeld met militaire patrouilles: de Nationale Garde, de FDI, de DEA, de eigen stadspolitie – dat alles om de misdaad harder aan te pakken. Erg druk hebben de Nationale Gardisten het niet, en dus doen ze andere klussen, zoals het wieden van tuintjes. Trump noemt het zo’n succes dat hij ook andere steden wil aanpakken: New York, Baltimore, maar eerst Chicago, want dat is een killing field. Ze noemen me dan wel een dictator, zei hij, maar dat willen de mensen eigenlijk best.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kia ora,Welcome to Monday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news Fed boss Powell gave a hint at Jackson Hole that weaker American labour market conditions may trump inflation risks when they next meet in three weeks - and a rate cut is a live possibility.Before that, Thursday NZT, the market darling Nvidia is set to report its results, and any variation from what is expected to be a stellar result, or any slackening of their outlook indications, could very well have ripple impacts on how investors judge their overall current sky-high valuations across the whole equities landscape. It's a huge immediate risk-point.But this coming week, we will be focusing on the New Zealand employment indicators for July to be released later in the week. And later today, the RBNZ will updated it Dashboard to June, so we can see the market winners (and losers) in the banking sector.Across the ditch, all eyes will be on July's monthly CPI data to be released on Wednesday.China will be releasing its August PMIs this week. India will updated its Q2-GDP, and its July industrial production data. And Canada will also have a Q2-GDP update too.But we shouldn't forget that the northern hemisphere has been getting in the last of its summer vacations recently. This is the final week before the US Labor Day national holiday on September 1, 2025, the traditional end of their summer holiday period and when their financial markets build back up to full strength.They will be coming back after digesting the Fed's latest indicators from Powell's Jackson Hole speech. He noted the core US economy has weathered the "sweeping changes in [US] economic policy" well, but now says "the balance of risks appears to be shifting" - to the negative side. Markets have taken this as a hint a rate cut could come as early as their mid September meeting.The US equity markets roared back to post a record high in Friday. The USD fell. Benchmark bond yields retreated.However, in the euphoria of the possibility of a rate cut markets seem to be ignoring this part: "inflation expectations could move up, dragging actual inflation with them. Inflation has been above our target for more than four years and remains a prominent concern for households and businesses". But they are betting on the 'transitory' inflation story again. Inflation embedded for four years, and juiced by tariffs, will be ignored at their peril.Across the border, Canadian retail sales in June were +6.5% higher than a year ago, the best rise since the pandemic recovery period in 2022. But some of this is just higher prices flowing through from their tariff dispute with the US, and a small correction dip is expected in the July data. And the Canadians are not ignoring the inflation risks of tariffs. To keep a lid on these inflationary effects of that dispute, Canada said it will roll back some of its retaliatory tariffs on the US. The US isn't doing the same, so their consumers will still pay the extra on imports.Across the Pacific, China reported more ugly foreign direct investment data over the weekend. While it didn't actually shrink like it did in April and June, it is running -13.4% below year ago levels, and it is still less than half the July ytd levels of 2022 or 2023, and down -7.3% from last year. The June to July gain this year, while welcome, isn't anything more than a statistical blip in the context of the fall away over the last four years.So it is no surprise that Beijing is reorienting to a focus on internal consumption - something they have a chance of still controlling. The international trade environment isn't moving in their favour and even where they do still get gains, they are not enough to move their needle.There was a surprising dip in Japanese inflation in July. It eased to 3.1% from 3.3% in the previous month, the lowest reading since November 2024. Helping was that electricity prices fell for the first time since April 2024. But food prices jumped +7.6%, the most since February. Again, rice was the big culprit.New data out from the Australian statistics bureau shows their R&D investment grew by +18% to AU$24 bln in 2023-24. The strongest growth was in IT including spending on Artificial Intelligence, which grew by +142% since 2021-2022.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.26%, essentially unchanged from Saturday at this time, down -6 bps for the week.Wall Street roared back in Friday trade with the S&P500 up +1.5% after the Powell hint of a rate cut next month. That means it is able to claim a +0.4% advance for the week which pushed it to a new record high.The price of gold will start today at US$3,370/oz, down -US$1 from Saturday, up +US$36 for the week.American oil prices have held at just under US$64/bbl with the international Brent price now just under US$68/bbl. These levels are more than +US$1 higher than a week agoThe Kiwi dollar is at just on 58.7 USc and unchanged from Saturday at this time. Against the Aussie we also holding at 90.4 AUc. Against the euro we are unchanged too at 50.1 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just under 66.3, little-changed from Saturday but down -60 bps for the week.The bitcoin price starts today at US$114,366 and down -2.2% from this time Saturday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been very low at just under +/- 0.6%.And finally, in Australia, AML regulator Austrac has directed Binance to appoint an external auditor after identifying serious concerns with the crypto exchange's anti-money laundering and counter terrorism financing controls.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston. And we will do this again tomorrow.
Thuế đối ứng 20% của Hoa Kỳ đối với hàng hóa Việt Nam xuất khẩu sang thị trường Mỹ đã bắt đầu có hiệu lực kể từ ngày 07/08/2025. Thật ra, theo bộ Công Thương, trong thời gian tới, Việt Nam và Hoa Kỳ sẽ tiếp tục đàm phán về thỏa thuận “thương mại đối ứng” và Hà Nội vẫn hy vọng sẽ được hưởng một mức thuế thấp hơn. Trước mắt, một số các chuyên gia nhận định mức thuế 20% cho hàng hóa Việt Nam là cao hơn so với một số nước trong khu vực Đông Nam Á như Thái Lan, Cam Bốt, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines (19%), nhưng đây vẫn là mức thuế "tương đối phù hợp" trong bối cảnh Việt Nam là nước đứng đầu Đông Nam Á về xuất khẩu vào Hoa Kỳ và có mức thặng dư thương mại lớn thứ tư với Hoa Kỳ. Tuy vậy, theo chuyên gia kinh tế Lê Đăng Doanh, trả lời RFI Việt ngữ qua điện thoại từ Hà Nội, mức thuế 20% vẫn bất lợi cho các doanh nghiệp Việt Nam: “Mức thuế 20% này là vẫn rất bất lợi so với một số nước khác được mức thuế 19% hay là 15%, cho nên nó ảnh hưởng đến năng lực cạnh tranh của các hàng hóa Việt Nam và kết quả là xuất khẩu của Việt Nam sang Hoa Kỳ đã chậm lại và giảm sút khoảng hơn 20%.Theo tôi, những mặt hàng bị tác động bao gồm may mặc, da giày và kể cả một số mặt hàng đồ gỗ. Nếu như tình hình tiếp tục như thế này, các nhà xuất khẩu Việt Nam sẽ phải tìm cách đa dạng hóa các thị trường và tìm các biện pháp để có thể tiếp tục duy trì sản xuất và xuất khẩu của mình và tìm cách né tránh thuế 20% này. Hiện nay Việt Nam đang cố gắng tìm cách mở rộng thị trường ở Trung Đông và tìm kiếm những thị trường ở Châu Phi, đồng thời muốn phát triển những thị trường khác tuy nhỏ nhưng hy vọng là sẽ vẫn có thể đón nhận được hàng hóa của Việt Nam một cách thuận lợi. Tình hình đó đối với sản xuất và xuất khẩu của Việt Nam, nhất là đối với những doanh nghiệp trung bình và nhỏ, đang gây khá nhiều khó khăn. Những doanh nghiệp đó chắc là sẽ phải tìm cách kết nối với các doanh nghiệp lớn hơn, để có thể tiếp tục tồn tại. Có nghĩa là họ có lẽ sẽ phải, nhiều hay ít, thay đổi sản phẩm của họ và tìm kiếm những đối tác mới.” Riêng về thủy sản, một trong những mặt hàng chủ yếu xuất khẩu sang Hoa Kỳ, theo dự báo của Hiệp hội Chế biến và Xuất khẩu thủy sản Việt Nam (VASEP), do mức thuế đối ứng 20% của Hoa Kỳ, tổng kim ngạch xuất khẩu thủy sản của Việt Nam năm 2025 sẽ chỉ là khoảng 9 tỷ đôla, giảm gần 10% so với năm 2024. Nhưng vấn đề lớn hơn, có thể ảnh hưởng đến cả đầu tư nước ngoài vào Việt Nam, đó là mức thuế 40% mà chính quyền Trum áp dụng đối với những hàng hóa “trung chuyển”, chủ yếu là hàng có nguyên liệu, linh kiện từ Trung Quốc nhưng được sản xuất ở Việt Nam để được dán nhãn, nhằm né thuế quan của Mỹ. Chỉ có điều cho tới nay phía Mỹ vẫn chưa đưa ra một định nghĩa rõ ràng thế nào là hàng “trung chuyển”. Chuyên gia Lê Đăng Doanh giải thích: “Hiện nay, thị trường xuất khẩu lớn nhất của Việt Nam là Hoa Kỳ và thị trường nhập khẩu lớn nhất của Việt Nam là Trung Quốc. Mỹ xem xét những mặt hàng gọi là “trung chuyển” dựa trên tỷ lệ giá trị gia tăng của sản phẩm được sản xuất tại Việt Nam. Nếu như Việt Nam cố gắng gia tăng được tỷ lệ đó, để các hàng hóa đó không còn bị xem là hàng hóa trung chuyển, mà là hàng hóa sản xuất tại Việt Nam, thì có thể giảm được mức thuế 40% này. Còn mức thuế 40% này rất bất lợi đối với hàng hóa của Việt Nam bị gọi là trung chuyển. Rất nhiều sản phẩm của các nhà đầu tư nước ngoài đã đầu tư vào Việt Nam nhưng lại nhập khẩu các linh kiện từ các nhà sản xuất cũng của hãng ấy tại Trung Quốc, mà những đầu tư của họ vào Trung Quốc thì có quy mô rất lớn. Vì vậy, ví dụ như trong một điện thoại của hãng Samsung sản xuất tại Việt Nam, tỷ lệ phụ thuộc vào các linh kiện nhập khẩu từ cơ sở của Samsung ở Trung Quốc là không nhỏ. Cho nên vấn đề ở đây là phải hợp tác với các nhà đầu tư, với các nhà xuất khẩu, để nâng cao tỷ lệ sản xuất tại Việt Nam, nâng cao tỷ lệ giá trị gia tăng trong các sản phẩm xuất khẩu của Việt Nam, kể cả các sản phẩm gọi là “made in Việt Nam” nhưng tỷ lệ giá trị gia tăng thì còn tương đối thấp và rất có thể sẽ bị Mỹ xếp vào loại hàng trung chuyển và chịu mức thuế cao. Mức thuế này dĩ nhiên là một tín hiệu rất là quan trọng. Các nhà đầu tư nước ngoài, cũng như các nhà xuất khẩu của Việt Nam đang phải xem xét các phương án đa dạng hóa những nguồn linh kiện và sản phẩm, để có thể giảm bớt việc chịu thuế trung chuyển 40% này. Biện pháp quan trọng nhất là nâng cao chất lượng của các doanh nghiệp hợp tác với các nhà đầu tư nước ngoài, các nhà xuất khẩu nước ngoài. Chúng ta phải tiến tới một trình độ công nghệ cao hơn, một trình độ chất lượng sản phẩm cao hơn và có những nguồn nhân lực chất lượng cao hơn, am hiểu về chuyển đổi số, về thị trường nước ngoài. Với nỗ lực đa dạng như vậy, tôi hy vọng là Việt Nam trong một thời gian nhất định sẽ cố gắng vươn lên để giảm bớt tỷ lệ những mặt hàng bị xếp là trung chuyển.” Trang mạng Luật Khoa tạp chí ngày 12/08 ghi nhận: “Sự mơ hồ của chính sách thuế quan mới từ Mỹ, khi chưa có định nghĩa rõ ràng về dạng hàng hóa “trung chuyển” cũng khiến các doanh nghiệp FDI ( đầu tư nước ngoài ) lo ngại và phải tìm những giải pháp phòng ngừa từ xa. Một số doanh nghiệp đã bắt đầu lựa chọn phương thức thu hẹp quy mô sản xuất. Một số khác lại dần di chuyển chuỗi cung ứng ra khỏi Việt Nam. Những điều này đã phơi bày những điểm yếu trong cấu trúc của nền kinh tế Việt Nam, cho thấy nền kinh tế Việt Nam đặc biệt dễ bị tổn thương trước những biến động của chính sách thương mại toàn cầu.” Tác giả bài viết giải thích: “Việt Nam là nền kinh tế phụ thuộc hơn 70% giá trị xuất khẩu vào các doanh nghiệp đầu tư nước ngoài (FDI). Chưa kể là ngành sản xuất trong nước phải lệ thuộc phần lớn nguồn nguyên liệu nhập khẩu, mà trong đó khoảng 80% đến từ Trung Quốc. Trong khi đó, tỷ lệ hàng thực sự đạt tiêu chí nội địa hóa, tức là do doanh nghiệp Việt Nam làm chủ hoàn toàn công nghệ và dây chuyền sản xuất, chỉ dừng lại ở mức 5 – 10% trong giá trị hàng hóa xuất khẩu. Do vậy, nếu hàng hóa trung chuyển được hiểu là những hàng hóa do doanh nghiệp Việt Nam hoàn toàn làm chủ quá trình sản xuất, thì hầu như hàng Việt Nam xuất đi các nước, không riêng gì Mỹ, chỉ là hàng trung chuyển. Tính không rõ ràng trong cách định nghĩa hàng hóa “transshipment” của Mỹ đang làm tê liệt quá trình ra quyết định của các nhà đầu tư nước ngoài tại Việt Nam. Hay nói khác đi, trong bối cảnh Việt Nam đang nỗ lực nâng cấp chuỗi giá trị và thu hút các dự án FDI chất lượng cao, sự mơ hồ trong chính sách thương mại của Mỹ có thể trở thành một rào cản không hề nhỏ.” Thế nhưng, thuế “trung chuyển” của chính quyền Trump hiện giờ có vẻ không ảnh gì đến đầu tư của Trung Quốc ở Việt Nam, theo ghi nhận của hãng tin Bloomberg. Trong khi Trung Quốc phải đối mặt với mức thuế khoảng 55%, Việt Nam, chịu mức thuế 20%, vẫn được xem là tương đối an toàn. Nhà phân tích Steven Tseng của Bloomberg Intelligence cho biết: "Việt Nam vẫn đang ở vị thế tương đối thuận lợi. Mặc dù mức thuế 20% không phải là mức thấp nhất, nhưng nó không nhất thiết làm giảm khả năng cạnh tranh do Việt Nam có lợi thế về chi phí, cơ sở công nghiệp đã được thiết lập và có vị trí địa lý gần Trung Quốc. Việc các nhà sản xuất Trung Quốc chuyển sang Việt Nam vẫn là điều hợp lý." Hãng tin Bloomberg nhắc lại: Trung Quốc vẫn là đối tác thương mại lớn nhất của Việt Nam. Theo số liệu của chính phủ Việt Nam, đầu tư từ Trung Quốc và Hồng Kông trong nửa đầu năm nay đã tăng 23% so với cùng kỳ năm ngoái, lên 3,6 tỷ đô la. Trong quý II, sau khi tổng thống Trump công bố mức thuế quan đối với thế giới, con số này đã tăng 24% so với cùng kỳ năm ngoái. Tuy nhiên, các quan chức tại Hà Nội cũng thừa nhận rằng thuế quan có thể ảnh hưởng nặng nề đến xuất khẩu của Việt Nam sang Mỹ, và ngành công nghệ đặc biệt dễ bị tổn thương. Theo một đánh giá nội bộ của chính phủ ngày 11/0 7, lượng hàng xuất khẩu sang Mỹ có thể giảm tới một phần ba và xuất khẩu công nghệ có thể giảm khoảng 15 tỷ đôla.
Thuế đối ứng 20% của Hoa Kỳ đối với hàng hóa Việt Nam xuất khẩu sang thị trường Mỹ đã bắt đầu có hiệu lực kể từ ngày 07/08/2025. Thật ra, theo bộ Công Thương, trong thời gian tới, Việt Nam và Hoa Kỳ sẽ tiếp tục đàm phán về thỏa thuận “thương mại đối ứng” và Hà Nội vẫn hy vọng sẽ được hưởng một mức thuế thấp hơn.

Sam Bresnick, Research Fellow and Andrew W. Marshall Fellow at Georgetown's Center for Security and Emerging Technology (CSET), joins Lawfare's Justin Sherman to discuss his recently published report, “Big Tech in Taiwan: Beyond Semiconductors.” They discuss a previous report Sam coauthored with Georgetown CSET colleagues, “Which Ties Will Bind?,” looking at U.S. Big Tech companies' exposure to China; Sam's recent report on the 17 examined companies' Taiwan entanglements; and how greenfield foreign direct investments (FDI), research and development (R&D) centers, data centers, supply chains, and more expose the studied U.S. companies to Taiwan. They also discuss how companies think about the geopolitical and security threat space, perspectives on “derisking” versus “decoupling” from Taiwan or China, and how U.S. policymakers could better track, identify, and potentially mitigate the risks.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

Kia ora,Welcome to Tuesday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with talks are underway in Stockholm between the US and China over a trade/tariff deal. Prospects are not high.And the recent EU-US deal has the makings of unravelling. Both France and Germany are unhappy about the outcome, made worse by the US claiming verbally pharmaceuticals have been excluded when the EU negotiators said they were not excluded from the 15% written deal.The big casualty in all of these deals, including the Japanese one, is trust in the US. Smartarse public commenting by the US president - even some of his advisers - means the deals struck are unlikely to be respected by the US or trusted by the others. The result isn't "a deal", it is a fluid mess.New Zealand's situation in all this will be a footnote, probably sometime on Saturday.In the US, the Dallas Fed's factory survey improved sharply in July, but this was all about higher production. New orders are still contracting, even if at a slower rate. Elevated input price pressures continued in July. Improved sentiment is driving the raised output even in the absence of a pickup in new orders.Financial market eyes are now turning to Thursday's (NZT) US Federal Reserve meeting and decisions. Despite the overt Whitehouse pressure, financial market pricing shows virtually no-one is pricing in a rate cut.In Canada, wholesale sales came in better than expected, up +0.7% in June from May when a -0.2% retreat was anticipated. But despite that good recent gain, they will still be lower than in June 2024.Across the Pacific, from 2022 to 2024, Taiwanese consumer confidence rose. But since October 2024 it has been falling. However the July survey rose, the first break in the recent down-trend. It wasn't a big move from June, but they will take it.In China, they are taking something they don't want. Foreign direct investment recorded another net outflow in June, and a worse one than the highly unusual April net outflow. The reasonable start to 2025 is being undone faster now. In the six months to June they have had a net inflow of US$42.3 bln. In 2024 they had more than that in just the first three months and even that was much weaker than in 2023 (US$98 bln) or 2022 (US$112 bln). Fleeing investors isn't a good look for China.Indian industrial production expanded a rather weak +1.5% in June from a year ago, held back by surprisingly weak mining (coal) production.. In their factories however, the story is much better with manufacturing production us +3.9% from a year ago, a better rise than in May although less than the +4.5% expected.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.42%, up +3 bps from yesterday.The price of gold will start today at US$3,309/oz, down -US$27 from yesterday.American oil prices have risen +US$1.50 at just on US$66.50/bbl with the international Brent price is now at just under US$70/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is now at 59.7 USc and down -½c from yesterday and back to where it was a week ago. Against the Aussie we are unchanged at 91.6 AUc. Against the euro we are up +30 bps at 51.5 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just on 67.6, down -10 bps from yesterday.The bitcoin price starts today at US$117,664 and down -1.3% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has remained low at just on +/-0.9%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston. And we will do this again tomorrow.
A pochissimi mesi dalle elezioni regionali in Veneto ancora non c'è un candidato ufficiale per la coalizione di governo, tra accordi in bilico e braccia di ferro alla vigilia delle vacanze. Quel che è peggio è che non ci sono programmi elettorali, ma questo sembra lasciare indifferenti tutti, perfino gli elettori, costretti ad accontentarsi di banali slogan sulla sicurezza e sulla sanità. L'incertezza è totale sotto la bandiera del leone, l'unica cosa sicura è che di autonomia non se ne parlerà mai più.

China will remain a vital innovation hub and manufacturing base for foreign corporations despite global economic uncertainty, said government officials and business leaders.政府官员和商界领袖表示,尽管全球经济形势充满不确定性,但中国仍将作为外国企业的关键创新中心和制造基地而继续发挥重要作用。They noted that foreign firms are maintaining deep engagement with the Chinese market, capitalizing on their technological expertise alongside China's well-developed industrial and supply chains — a synergy that enhances operational efficiency, fosters innovation and strengthens supply chain resilience.他们指出,外国企业正持续深入参与中国市场,充分利用自身的技术专长以及中国完善的工业和供应链体系——这种协同效应能够提高运营效率、促进创新并增强供应链的韧性。Foreign-invested companies in China saw their export and import value grow by 2.4 percent year-on-year to 6.32 trillion yuan ($881.2 billion) in the first half, marking growth for the fifth consecutive quarter, statistics from the General Administration of Customs showed.据海关总署的数据,今年上半年,在华外资企业的出口和进口总额同比增长2.4%,达到6.32万亿元人民币(约合8812亿美元),这是连续第五个季度实现增长。The number of foreign-invested businesses in the country with actual import and export activities amounted to 75,000 in the first six months, the highest level for the same period since 2021, said the administration.该部门表示,上半年在该国开展实际进出口业务的外资企业数量达到75,000家,这是自2021年以来同期的最高水平。China's evolving industrial ecosystem — combining cost, quality and speed with advanced infrastructure — is transforming into a collaborative innovation hub where multinationals co-develop and expand alongside local partners, said Mohamed Kande, global chairman of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Ltd, a London-based global accounting company.普华永道国际有限公司(一家总部位于伦敦的全球性会计师事务所)的全球主席穆罕默德·坎德表示,中国不断发展的工业生态系统——将成本、质量和速度与先进的基础设施相结合——正在转变为一个协同创新的中心,跨国公司与当地合作伙伴共同开发并扩大业务规模。Reflecting on this shift, Lyu Daliang, director of the GAC's department of statistics and analysis, said that among the major manufacturing categories involved in foreign company exports, industries such as specialized equipment, electrical machinery and electronic devices all posted robust growth between January and June.对于这一变化,广汽集团统计分析部门负责人吕大良表示,在外资企业出口所涉及的主要制造业类别中,诸如专用设备、电气机械和电子设备等行业在1月至6月期间均实现了强劲增长。One such company — Global Electric Appliance (Nantong) Co Ltd, a manufacturer of household appliances in Nantong, Jiangsu province and a subsidiary of a Singapore-based industrial group — reported a 31.9 percent year-on-year increase in exports, reaching 343 million yuan in the first half, said Nanjing Customs.其中一家这样的企业——位于江苏省南通市的家用电器制造商“环球电器(南通)有限公司”,该公司隶属于一家总部位于新加坡的工业集团,其出口额同比增长了31.9%,上半年达到3.43亿元,此数据由南京海关公布。Chen Jinxin, head of the company's foreign trade unit, said the company has shipped its products, including vacuum and steam cleaners, to over 90 overseas markets, backed by China's innovative solutions and a highly integrated supply chain that enables rapid product development and efficient global distribution.该公司外贸部门负责人陈金鑫表示,公司已将包括真空吸尘器和蒸汽清洁器在内的产品销往全球90多个市场。这得益于中国的创新解决方案以及高度整合的供应链,该供应链能够实现产品快速开发和高效的全球配送。Apart from investing 3 billion yuan in its Hangzhou plant in Zhejiang province over the past decade, Italian chocolate and confectionery maker Ferrero Group said that the factory now supplies 53 percent of its products to the Chinese market, with the remaining 47 percent exported to more than 20 countries and regions across the Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and North America.在过去十年里,意大利巧克力及糖果制造商费列罗集团在浙江省的杭州工厂投入了30亿元资金。该集团表示,目前该工厂生产的53%的产品供应给中国市场,其余47%的产品则出口到亚太地区、中东和北美地区的20多个国家和地区。Yang Lianjun, general manager of Ferrero's Hangzhou plant, said the Chinese market offers significant opportunities, and the company may introduce additional premium product categories in the future, such as ice cream.费罗尔杭州工厂的总经理杨练军表示,中国市场蕴含着巨大的机遇,公司未来可能会推出更多高端产品类别,比如冰淇淋。To bolster its local research and development capabilities, Ferrero established a food innovation center within its Hangzhou facility last year. The center focuses on developing chocolate, confectionery and bakery products tailored to regional preferences and shortening time-to-market cycles.为了增强其本地的研发能力,费列罗公司去年在其杭州工厂内设立了食品创新中心。该中心致力于开发符合当地消费者口味的巧克力、糖果和烘焙产品,并缩短产品上市周期。The Ministry of Commerce said foreign direct investment in China's manufacturing sector reached 109.06 billion yuan in the first half, while high-tech industries attracted 127.87 billion yuan. FDI inflows from Switzerland, Japan, the United Kingdom and Germany rose by 68.6 percent, 59.1 percent, 37.6 percent and 6.3 percent, respectively.商务部表示,上半年中国制造业领域的外国直接投资达到1090.6亿元,而高科技产业吸引了1278.7亿元的投资。来自瑞士、日本、英国和德国的外资流入分别增长了68.6%、59.1%、37.6%和6.3%。Amid a turbulent and uncertain global trade landscape, the stability of China's policy environment and the long-term orientation of its planning have grown increasingly valuable, said Li Xingqian, vice-chairman of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade.中国国际贸易促进委员会副会长李兴乾表示,在全球贸易环境动荡且充满不确定性的背景下,中国政策环境的稳定性以及其规划的长期导向性变得愈发重要。Neutrik Technology (Ningbo) Co Ltd, a Ningbo, Zhejiang province-based manufacturer of electronic connectors and a subsidiary of the European company Neutrik AG, reported a 19 percent year-on-year rise in first-half sales to 68.45 million yuan, covering both domestic sales and exports, said Ningbo Customs.位于浙江省宁波市的纽崔克科技(宁波)有限公司是一家电子连接器制造商,隶属于欧洲的纽崔克公司。该公司称,其上半年销售额同比增长19%,达到6845万元人民币,其中包括国内销售额和出口额。此数据由宁波海关提供。Dong Lanju, the company's president, said that China's well-integrated industrial ecosystem and pro-business environment will continue to empower foreign manufacturers to expand production, boost operational efficiency and better capture opportunities in global markets.该公司总裁董兰菊表示,中国完善的工业生态系统以及积极的商业环境将继续助力外国制造商扩大生产规模、提高运营效率,并更好地把握全球市场的机遇。peace talksn.和平谈判/piːs tɔːks/Ukraine crisisn.乌克兰危机/juːˈkreɪnˈkraɪsɪs/

South Korea and China have a complex relationship characterized by economic interdependence, strategic competition, and regional security concerns. Navigating this delicate balance has been a defining challenge for every South Korean president. Newly elected President Lee Jae Myung has assumed power at a time of increasing US-China strategic competition as well as uncertain global supply chains and growing threat from North Korea. Could this new administration mark a shift in Seoul's approach to Beijing? Or will President Lee maintain strategies similar to that of President Yoon?To discuss ROK-China relations, and President Lee's approach to this intricate issue, we are joined on the podcast today by Dr. Ramon Pacheco-Pardo. He is a professor of international relations at King's College London and the KF-VUB Korea Chair at the Center for Security, Diplomacy and Strategy in the Brussels School of Governance. He is also an adjunct fellow with the Korea Chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and the author of several books on the domestic affairs and foreign policy of South and North Korea.

Years of efforts aimed at promoting the country's opening-up and continuously expanding market access for foreign enterprises have gradually paid off. Foreign-funded enterprises now contribute one-third of China's foreign trade, one-fourth of its value-added industrial output, and one-seventh of its tax revenues, and have created more than 30 million jobs over the past five years. It is little wonder therefore that the government should highly value foreign direct investment and always try its best to improve the business environment for foreign capital, so as to make the country a safe and promising destination for foreign investors.多年来,为促进国家对外开放和不断扩大外资企业市场准入所做的努力逐渐取得成效。外资企业目前占中国对外贸易的三分之一,工业增加值的四分之一,税收的七分之一,在过去五年中创造了3000多万个就业机会。因此,毫不奇怪,政府应该高度重视外国直接投资,并始终尽最大努力改善外国资本的商业环境,使该国成为外国投资者的安全和有前景的目的地。The country's 14th Five-Year Plan from 2021 to 2025 set the target of attracting a total of $700 billion in foreign investment, with remarkable progress to be made in both the quantity and quality of utilized foreign investment. Despite the challenges posed by the rise of protectionism and unilateralism in recent years, the utilized foreign investment in China reached $708.73 billion by the end of June, suggesting the country has already achieved its five-year foreign investment target, ahead of schedule.2021年至2025年,中国第十四个五年计划设定了吸引7000亿美元外资的目标,利用外资的数量和质量都将取得显著进展。尽管近年来保护主义和单边主义抬头带来了挑战,但截至6月底,中国利用外资已达7087.3亿美元,表明中国已提前实现其五年外资目标。Statistics from the Ministry of Commerce released on the weekend also indicate that in the first half of this year the number of newly established foreign-invested companies increased by 11.7 percent year-on-year to 30,014, as the country continues to attract foreign capital into high-tech industries such as artificial intelligence, e-commerce, pharmaceuticals and high-end manufacturing.商务部周末发布的统计数据还显示,今年上半年,随着国家继续吸引外资进入人工智能、电子商务、制药和高端制造业等高科技产业,新成立的外商投资企业数量同比增长11.7%,达到30014家。The country's high-tech sector has become a major magnet for foreign capital thanks to its immense potential, with the percentage of utilized foreign investment in China's high-tech sector rising from 28.3 percent of the total in 2019 to 37.4 percent in 2023. In the first half of this year, foreign investment in e-commerce services alone recorded a nearly 130 percent year-on-year surge.由于其巨大的潜力,中国的高科技行业已成为吸引外资的主要力量,中国高科技行业利用外资的比例从2019年的28.3%上升到2023年的37.4%。今年上半年,仅电子商务服务领域的外国投资就同比激增近130%。The development of a highly advanced innovation ecosystem in China has prompted a lot of multinationals to expand their investment in the sector in light of the country's forward-looking strategy. Take BMW for example. The German auto giant plans to establish its first China-based information technology research and development center in Nanjing, which will represent a huge expansion of the company's digital capabilities. The center is set to be BMW's largest IT R&D hub in Asia, and it is designed to strengthen the automaker's global production, sales and after-sales systems through digital solutions rooted in China's rapidly evolving tech landscape. Explaining the decision, Franz Decker, president and CEO of BMW Brilliance Automotive, said during the signing ceremony with the local government on Friday that China "demonstrates remarkable vitality in building a thriving ecosystem for digital innovation".中国高度发达的创新生态系统的发展促使许多跨国公司根据国家的前瞻性战略扩大了对该行业的投资。以宝马为例。这家德国汽车巨头计划在南京建立其第一个中国信息技术研发中心,这将代表该公司数字能力的巨大扩张。该中心将成为宝马在亚洲最大的IT研发中心,旨在通过植根于中国快速发展的技术格局的数字解决方案,加强宝马的全球生产、销售和售后系统。华晨宝马汽车公司总裁兼首席执行官Franz Decker在周五与当地政府的签字仪式上解释了这一决定,他表示,中国“在建立繁荣的数字创新生态系统方面表现出了非凡的活力”。The third China International Supply Chain Expo, which concluded on Sunday in Beijing, has earned a reputation for being a showcase for technological innovation and China's new quality productive forces. The expo highlighted how the country has embraced an innovation-driven development strategy in pursuit of high-quality development, which is expected to bring immense business opportunities for foreign companies. "Here in China ... the technology adoption is so fast," said Jensen Huang, Nvidia CEO, during an interview on the sidelines of the expo, citing how China's innovative applications are setting global trends. "The supply chain of China is a miracle. It is the largest and most complex in the world ... built on deep technology, AI and software."第三届中国国际供应链博览会于周日在北京闭幕,以展示技术创新和中国新型优质生产力而闻名。世博会强调了中国如何采取创新驱动的发展战略,追求高质量的发展,这有望为外国公司带来巨大的商机。英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋在世博会间隙接受采访时表示:“在中国……技术采用如此之快。”他引用了中国创新应用如何引领全球趋势。“中国的供应链是一个奇迹。它是世界上最大、最复杂的……建立在深厚的技术、人工智能和软件之上。”There have been some pointing to the actual use of FDI in China dropping 15.2 percent in the January-June period from a year earlier. Yet it should be noted that was amid a global decline in foreign investment, and the total volume of utilized FDI in China is 423.23 billion yuan, which remains significant. The decline can be attributed to the high comparison base last year. Any attempt to hype that foreign investment is leaving the country is out of ill intent.有人指出,1月至6月期间,中国实际使用的外国直接投资比去年同期下降了15.2%。然而,应该指出的是,在全球外国投资下降的情况下,中国利用的外国直接投资总额为4232.3亿元,仍然很可观。这一下降可归因于去年的高比较基数。任何炒作外国投资正在离开该国的企图都是出于恶意。In the past five years, the rate of return on FDI in China, at nearly 9 percent, still ranks among the highest around the world. It is the consensus among foreign investors that China remains an attractive destination for investment, not only because of its huge growth prospects, but also due to consistent government support aimed at enabling foreign-funded enterprises to achieve even greater success, as exemplified in an action plan that China released early this year to stabilize foreign investment.在过去的五年里,中国的外国直接投资回报率接近9%,仍然是世界上最高的。外国投资者普遍认为,中国仍然是一个有吸引力的投资目的地,这不仅是因为其巨大的增长前景,还因为政府一贯支持外资企业取得更大的成功,正如中国今年年初发布的一项稳定外国投资的行动计划所证明的那样。No matter how the external environment may evolve, China remains firmly committed to high-standard opening-up and always welcomes foreign companies to keep investing in China and explore the Chinese market to enjoy the country's development dividends and progress together.无论外部环境如何变化,中国都坚定地致力于高标准的对外开放,始终欢迎外国公司继续在中国投资,开拓中国市场,共同享受国家的发展红利和进步。multinationaln.跨国公司/ˌmʌltɪˈnæʃənəl/remarkable vitalityn.非凡的生命力/rɪˈmɑːkəbl vaɪˈtælɪti/

Non è sempre una scelta quella delle donne di lavorare di meno. E' il cosiddetto part-time involontario, si svolge un lavoro a tempo parziale perché non se ne è trovato uno a tempo pieno, e colpisce soprattutto le donne e gli stranieri. Colpisce l'entità: quattro volte maggiore rispetto agli uomini. Ne parliamo con Maria Cecilia Guerra, responsabile Lavoro della segreteria nazionale del Partito democratico e Walter Rizzetto, deputato di FdI, presidente XI Commissione Lavoro.

On June 13th, Israel launched attacks on several military and nuclear facilities in Iran, marking the beginning of a 12-day war between the two countries. The United States followed with targeted strikes on Iranian nuclear sites to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear power and posing a threat to regional and global stability. China's involvement in the conflict was limited to condemning the Israeli and US use of military force and calling for de-escalation. Beijing offered only rhetorical support for Tehran. To discuss what the Israel-Iran war reveals about China's relationship with Iran, its evolving strategy in the Middle East, and the broader implications for US-China competition, we are joined by Yun Sun on the podcast today. Yun is a Senior Fellow, co-Director of the East Asia Program and Director of the China Program at the Stimson Center. Her recent piece in The Wire China entitled “How China Sees Iran's Future” offers provides a nuanced take on Beijing's calculus during and after the war.

Ireland's energy future is approaching a critical juncture. EirGrid forecasts a 45% increase in electricity demand between 2023 and 2034, driven by the rapid rise of data centres, electric vehicles, and economic growth. But as demand soars, the national grid is being pushed to its limits, struggling with renewable integration challenges, ageing infrastructure, and climate-related disruptions. The impact of Storm Éowyn, which left 715,000 homes, farms and businesses without power, exposed just how vulnerable Ireland's energy system has become. While grid upgrades are underway, such as the North-South Interconnector, progress has been slow. So, what can businesses do now to protect themselves from power disruptions and grid delays? Enter microgrids: Self-contained, local energy networks that can operate independently from the traditional grid. For businesses and communities alike, they offer greater energy security, lower costs, and a more resilient path. Microgrids, More Than Just Backup Power Nearly half (46%) of UK and Irish businesses identify energy security and resilience as a significant risk, underscoring the urgent need for more reliable and adaptable energy solutions like microgrids. In Ireland, where grid congestion and renewable integration challenges are growing, microgrids can help bypass infrastructure bottlenecks, accelerate the rollout of wind and solar, and provide critical backup to businesses during outages. When paired with storage technologies, they can stabilise supply, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and insulate users from volatile global energy markets by enabling local generation and storage of clean power. With Ireland ranking third-highest in electricity prices across Europe, the case for investing in off-grid, prosumer energy solutions has never been stronger. For businesses - especially those in rural or grid-constrained areas - these systems offer a viable path to energy independence, cost stability, and long-term sustainability. Take Finland's Citycon Lippulaiva development as an example, where a local energy system is supported by advanced digital monitoring and intelligent energy management tools. This mixed-use urban hub - featuring a shopping centre, metro station, bus terminal, and residential units - has successfully optimised resilience, sustainability, and energy efficiency. The microgrid is projected to pay back its €3 million investment within five years, thanks to a 14% annual reduction in energy costs. From Strain to Strength: Rethinking Energy for High-Demand Users Microgrids are not just a cost-saving solution; they're becoming an essential tool in Ireland's energy transition and economic growth. EirGrid has warned that growing grid congestion and delays in new connections could significantly hinder progress toward a net-zero energy system. Data centres, in particular, are under increasing scrutiny due to their soaring energy demand and pressure on the grid. Yet they also represent a major driver in Ireland's economy. Instead of relying solely on the national grid, data centres can deploy self-sufficient microgrids that operate independently or in tandem with the main system. These decentralised systems can not only power their own operations, but also store surplus energy and sell it back to the local community, effectively transforming from energy consumers to energy providers. This prosumer model enables data centres to access clean, reliable, and cost-effective energy while enhancing their scalability. That's vital for a sector that plays a key role in Ireland's foreign direct investment (FDI) strategy and contributes significantly to the national economy. Solving Grid Bottlenecks, One Microgrid at a Time Unlocking the full potential of microgrids in Ireland will require a more agile regulatory and planning environment. Streamlining approval processes and incentivising demand-side solutions are critical steps toward building a more resilient energy system. Earlier this year,...
