乌克兰将加入北约 – 布林肯
(SeaPRwire) - 美国最高外交官在访问基辅时重申了华盛顿的谈话要点 美国国务卿安东尼·布林肯表示，华盛顿希望看到基辅赢得对莫斯科的冲突并加入北约。 布林肯与英国外交大臣大卫·拉米一起访问基辅，重申英美对弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基政府的支持。 “在 7 月的峰会上，我们宣布乌克兰加入北约的道路是不可逆转的，”布林肯周三表示，并提醒他的东道主，美国领导的集团已“设立了一个指挥部，专门支持乌克兰的成员资格。” 布林肯一直在为基辅加入北约进行辩护。 然而，该集团已正式宣布，无论是在今年夏天华盛顿还是去年在立陶宛，这都只能在“盟国同意且条件满足时”发生。 匈牙利和斯洛伐克已经表示，在任何情况下都不会这样做，因为将乌克兰纳入北约将意味着与俄罗斯开战。 . warns Ukraine: Your path to NATO membership is "irreversible" — Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) 在基辅的同一讲话中，布林肯描绘了乌克兰军工产业的美好前景，声称其在过去一年中扩大了六倍。 “在未来几年，这将使乌克兰拥有世界上最先进的国防工业之一，并且能够将该行业带入全球市场，从俄罗斯等其他国家夺取全球市场份额，并为北约盟国提供供应，”他补充说。 基辅目前完全依赖西方提供武器、装备、弹药，甚至现金注入以维持其政府运转。 乌克兰还面临着大范围的电力短缺，因为俄罗斯的导弹袭击降低了电力生产能力。 布林肯本人周三宣布，美国将拨款 3.25 亿美元，帮助修复乌克兰的电网，并为关键基础设施提供应急备用发电机。 另外 2.9 亿美元将用于“乌克兰国内外民众的食品、水、住所、医疗保健和教育项目”，剩余的 1.02 亿美元用于排雷。 “最重要的是：我们希望乌克兰获胜，”据美联社报道，布林肯在其访问期间的另一个讲话中宣布。 西方官员此前也曾表示，这是基辅加入北约的先决条件。 这实际上意味着乌克兰将永远不会加入该集团，俄罗斯副外长谢尔盖·里亚布科夫在 6 月表示。 北约 2008 年关于乌克兰可能加入的声明“成为我们今天观察到的整个危机的触发因素，”里亚布科夫当时表示。 “如果北约成员准备再次陷入同样的陷阱，而历史没有教给他们任何东西，那么他们将再次受到打击，他们的伤痕会更严重，”他补充说。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

Photo Credit: Daniel Topic “Concerto for Peace” is an innovative global initiative led by pianist, composer, and humanitarian Omar Harfouch. With a series of planned performances in major cities worldwide, the initiative is set to inspire collective harmony by uniting people from different cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives. The project, starting with a highly anticipated debut performance on September 18, 2024, at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris, France, aims to bring the universal language of music to the front page of global conversations about peace. Accompanied by the Béziers Méditerranée Symphony Orchestra and maestro Matthieu Bonnin, “Concerto for Peace” intends to call people to action, to stand up in their own ways to spark change for conflict-torn communities across the globe. A Masterpiece for Peace: Striking the Right Chord in a Divided World “Concerto for Peace” brings together musicians from diverse countries and communities to promote understanding through shared artistic expression. “The way I see it, music has the power to connect people in ways words often cannot,” says Harfouch. “Our goal is to use the power of music to create a platform for dialogue, reconciliation, and healing.” Apart from being the name of the peace initiative, “Concerto for Peace”, is also the title of Harfouch’s 17-minute composition, a collaboration with the equally prestigious musician, Houtaf Khoury. The timeless piece combines classical and contemporary elements. The magnum opus for peace will be performed alongside his other world-renowned compositions, such as “Save One Life, Save All Humanity” and “La Fantaisie Orientale”. The launch of “Concerto for Peace” comes at a time when multiple parts of the world are combating significant social, political, and environmental challenges. Harfouch and his team hope to address these issues by creating shared experiences that cut across ideological, religious, and national boundaries. Harfouch notes, “Through this initiative, we want to spark conversations that lead to meaningful change, delivering a global movement that celebrates our shared humanity.” With high hopes for the future, Harfouch’s ultimate vision is to make “Concerto for Peace” a global movement that showcases the beauty of music while contributing to long-term efforts toward conflict resolution and intercultural dialogue. “It is going to take a lot more than music to change the world, but it can definitely be a catalyst for people to join the movement for peace,” Omar Harfouch concludes. “Our goal is to create an enduring legacy, where music serves as a constant reminder of our shared humanity and the power of collaboration.” Further performances are scheduled for the Vatican, Italian parliament, Shanghai, and the headquarters of the United Nations in Geneva.

报告称，德国军力落后俄罗斯十年
(SeaPRwire) - 一项新研究发现，德国联邦国防军防空系统和火炮库存因向乌克兰提供武器而大幅下降。 基尔世界经济研究所 (IfW) 发布的一份新报告称，德国短期内不可能在潜在冲突中抵御俄罗斯。 尽管德国总理奥拉夫·朔尔茨的政府做出了承诺，但该国的军事采购体系仍然“繁琐”，国防支出“严重不足”。这份周一发布的报告发现。 据德国领先的经济智库之一 IfW 称，德国联邦国防军目前的作战能力远低于 20 年前的基准水平。德国拥有的作战飞机数量减少了一半，战车数量从近 2400 辆降至仅 339 辆。该研究所公布的数据还显示，德国只有 12 个防空系统。 2022 年，朔尔茨宣布了一场“时代变革”——德国历史上的一次转折点——他的联合政府公布了一项价值 1000 亿欧元的军事现代化计划。这个特殊的现代化基金将在 2028 年耗尽，届时德国预计将达到北约建议的将国防支出占 GDP 的 2% 的目标。柏林还加入了美国和其他西方国家，向基辅提供了军事援助，以支持其与莫斯科的冲突。 IfW 所长莫里茨·舒拉里克表示，“时代变革”迄今为止“证明只是空洞的说辞”。该报告批评德国的国防采购系统极其缓慢且成本高昂。报告称，德国平均需要 10 多年才能恢复到 2004 年的水平。报告估计，在火炮方面，将需要近一个世纪。 IfW 表示，目前，欧洲最大的经济体“几乎无法弥补”捐赠给基辅的武器。该研究所补充说，由于持续向乌克兰提供军事援助，联邦国防军的防空系统和榴弹炮库存也大幅下降。今年早些时候，路透社报道称，柏林将在 2025 年将对乌援助削减一半，以解决联邦预算赤字问题。 IfW 警告说，这种情况使德国在潜在冲突中无法与俄罗斯匹敌。据该智库估计，俄罗斯“只需半年多时间就能生产出相当于联邦国防军全部武器库的武器”。 IfW 表示，莫斯科军队每天还可以消耗大约 10,000 枚炮弹和导弹，而无需担心弹药短缺。如果德国要维持类似的射速，它将在 70 天内耗尽“一年全部弹药生产量”。 德国高级官员多次提出俄罗斯与北约直接冲突的可能性，作为该国成为“战争能力国家”的理由。德国国防部长博里斯·皮斯托里乌斯 6 月份表示，该国“必须在 2029 年前做好战争准备”。 莫斯科一再驳斥这些说法。6 月份，俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京驳斥了有关俄罗斯计划袭击北约的报道，称之为“无稽之谈”和“胡说八道”。“他们是不是完全疯了？”他当时问道。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

It was also shortlisted for Google’s Best Storyline Game of the Year, marking a new highlight for China’s cultural export efforts. So, what makes this game so captivating? First and foremost, its outstanding quality. Ashes of the Kingdom is a card-based narrative game with a female-centered storyline and rich Eastern aesthetics. It utilizes high-precision Live2D technology and cinematic camera work to create an immersive narrative experience for players. The game is set in a chaotic era, where the player assumes the role of the cross-dressing Prince of Guangling, who also leads the intelligence organization, Xiu Yi Lou. Players uncover hidden secrets beneath gentle appearances and experience intense emotional confrontations between equals. In China, several media outlets have praised the game as “irreplaceable,” recognizing its uniqueness. The allure of Ashes of the Kingdom extends beyond its stunning visuals and engaging plot to its rich infusion of Chinese culture. The game’s scenes, props, and music are steeped in Han cultural elements, sparking players’ curiosity. On TikTok, a Vietnamese player translated the eyebrow-painting scene featuring Yuan Ji, garnering over ten thousand likes. The comment section buzzed with excitement, with viewers sharing that in Chinese culture, painting eyebrows is a way of expressing love. The Han-style music in the game has also left Vietnamese players in awe. Beyond Southeast Asia, Ashes of the Kingdom seems to be spreading its influence worldwide. In the U.S., one player voluntarily translated the game into English, aiming to share the captivating plot with a wider audience. In London, players dressed in Ashes of the Kingdom cosplay were spotted at landmarks like Big Ben and Trafalgar Square, drawing admiring glances from passersby. The game’s influence has transcended the virtual world and entered the physical market. According to data from Taobao’s overseas platform, Ashes of the Kingdom merchandise has been sold in over 120 countries and regions, particularly thriving in Asian markets. Consumers from Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Malaysia, and Thailand have shown a special preference for products such as apparel and stationery, reflecting the game’s IP influence far beyond the game itself. In recent years, many Chinese games, like Genshin Impact and Black Myth: Wukong, have captured the attention of global players. These games are striving to become ambassadors of Chinese culture, showcasing the modern allure of an ancient civilization. The new trend sparked by Ashes of the Kingdom further demonstrates the growing strength of China’s gaming industry. Ashes of the Kingdom’s journey is far from over, and its legend is only just beginning. Website: https://www.qookkagames.global

“吃狗的移民”、乌克兰冲突和经济指责游戏：哈里斯-特朗普辩论的主要看点
(SeaPRwire) - 民主党和共和党候选人互相指责对方是美国国内困境的罪魁祸首 美国总统大选的两名主要候选人，民主党人卡玛拉·哈里斯和共和党人唐纳德·特朗普，举行了他们第一次为期90分钟的辩论，这场辩论被广泛认为对11月大选的结果至关重要。 这场由美国广播公司 (ABC) 在宾夕法尼亚州费城主办、该网络主播大卫·缪尔和林赛·戴维斯主持的活动，涵盖了广泛的主题，包括经济、移民、堕胎和外交政策，特别是乌克兰冲突。 根据《纽约时报》/西埃纳学院的一项民意调查，在周二的辩论之前，特朗普在可能投票的选民中以 1% 的微弱优势领先哈里斯（48% 对 47%），有 5% 的人持观望态度。调查还发现，28% 的受访者表示他们想更多地了解哈里斯，尽管她已经担任了乔·拜登副总统近四年。 以下是辩论中的关键要点。 对经济的指责游戏 两位候选人握手后不久，他们有机会阐述他们对美国经济未来的愿景。哈里斯率先发言，她吹嘘了自己的计划，称之为“机会经济”。这位民主党人表示，她计划让住房更实惠，扩大儿童税收抵免，并为初创企业提供税收减免。她声称，拜登政府被迫在共和党人离任后“清理唐纳德·特朗普的烂摊子”。 然而，哈里斯未能直接回答主持人关于她是否认为“美国人比四年前过得更好”的问题。 特朗普反驳道，将美国经济困境归咎于当前领导人。“我们有一个糟糕的经济，因为通货膨胀……它破坏了国家。我们经历了前所未有的通货膨胀，可能是我们国家历史上最糟糕的通货膨胀。”这位共和党人还暗示哈里斯没有计划改善美国的福利，并补充说他将对中国等国家征收贸易关税。 吃狗的移民 特朗普重申了他长期以来对拜登政府移民政策的批评，声称移民正在“接管城镇……他们正在暴力地进入”。这位共和党人还重复了网络传言，暗示一些海地移民正在虐待和杀害动物。 “在斯普林菲尔德，他们正在吃狗；那些进来的人，他们在吃猫……他们在吃住在那里的人的宠物。这就是我们国家正在发生的事情，真是太可耻了，”他说。 许多美国媒体援引当地官员的话报道称，没有证据表明移民伤害了宠物。 面对对拜登政府移民政策的批评，哈里斯表示她支持一项旨在加强边境安全的法案。然而，她声称该法案被特朗普支持的国会议员阻止，这些议员试图为共和党人的竞选活动加油。 乌克兰冲突中的“数百万人”死亡 特朗普重申了他即使在宣誓就职之前也要结束莫斯科和基辅之间敌对行动的承诺，他回避了关于他是否希望乌克兰获胜的问题。这位前总统表示，他只是希望“战争停止”，因为“数百万人正在被杀害”。 他声称他完全可以阻止冲突，因为他与俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京和乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基都有良好关系。然而，拜登未能做到这一点，因为他不受尊重，特朗普断言。 “当我看到普京在乌克兰边境集结军队时，我说：‘哦，他一定在谈判；这肯定是一个强大的谈判筹码。’嗯，事实并非如此。因为拜登不知道如何与他交谈……而且情况只会越来越糟，它可能导致第三次世界大战。” 哈里斯反驳说，特朗普喜欢对“独裁者”屈服，并声称如果“唐纳德·特朗普当总统，普京现在就坐在基辅了”。这位副总统表示，拜登政府的方针，即率先向乌克兰提供武器，让这个饱经战火的国家得以保持独立。 关于堕胎的冲突 这场辩论突出了两位候选人对堕胎的不同看法，哈里斯誓言将尽力恢复《罗诉韦德案》保障的女性权利，该案于 2022 年 6 月被美国最高法院推翻。 “唐纳德·特朗普绝对不应该告诉一个女人如何处理她的身体，”这位副总统说。 然而，这位前总统强调，堕胎的法律地位应该由州一级决定。“它将它重新交还给人民的投票，这是每个人都想要的，包括创始者，”特朗普说。“每个人都希望它被收回。” 直接反应 在辩论结束后，特朗普表示他刚刚进行了“迄今为止最好的辩论”，尽管暗示美国广播公司 (ABC) 的主持人对他“非常不公平”。 与此同时，美国前总统巴拉克·奥巴马认为，哈里斯在辩论中表明她将成为“所有美国人的总统”。然而，这位副总统本人则更为谨慎，她告诉支持者，“我们仍然是这场竞赛中的弱者”。 根据 CNN 的闪速民意调查，63% 的美国选民表示他们认为哈里斯在辩论中表现优于特朗普，而 37% 的人表示不同意。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

Nguyen Hoa Binh said during his speech: “The global economy is experiencing significant transformations in its structure and growth model, requiring both governments and the business community to collaborate in promoting initiatives on economic cooperation and integration that support peace, cooperation and development at regional and global levels.
