CanSinoBIO Launches Pneumococcal Vaccine: An Innovative Choice to Safeguard Children’s Health

jcn

HONG KONG, Jun 20, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Pneumonia is a form of acute respiratory infection, that is common in all age groups and can cause mild to life-threatening illness. It is also the single largest infectious cause of death in children worldwide.According to the World Health Organization(WHO), pneumonia killed more than 808,000 children under the age of 5 in 2017, accounting for 15% of all deaths of children under 5 years. Notably, in China, non-invasive pneumococcal diseases(NIPD), result in approximately 550,000 cases annually, leading to around 6,000 deaths. Meanwhile, invasive pneumococcal diseases (IPD) are more severe, with over 7,200 cases of pneumococcal meningitis reported each year. The average treatment cost per case of IPD is approximately CNY 64,000, and the case-fatality rate exceeds 10%. Behind these stark numbers lie the heavy burdens on countless families and an urgent public health challenge.Facing this challenge, CanSino Biologics Inc. (Stock Code: 688185.SH, 6185.HK, "CanSinoBIO" or "the Company") has developed and launched its 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, trade name "iPneucia®", optimized for China’s local pneumococcal epidemiology, aiming to provide more precise and safer protection for Chinese children.The main advantage of iPneucia® is its deep optimization based on China’s local epidemiological characteristics. Streptococcus pneumoniae is categorized into different serotypes based on polysaccharide structure and biochemical traits. However, not all serotypes pose the same threat; their pathogenicity and disease burden vary. Research indicates that serotypes 19F, 19A, 7F, and 3 are the four most burdensome for Chinese children, accounting for over 60% of cases. These serotypes are also characterized by high resistance and high risk of sequelae. Given these risks, iPneucia® is specifically designed to target these four high-risk serotypes, and clinical data show that the geometric mean concentration (GMC) of antibodies against these four serotypes in iPneucia® is significantly higher than in the control group. This targeted protection strategy greatly enhances the precision of prevention, reducing disease risks at the source.The breakthrough of iPneucia® lies not only in its enhanced targeting serotypes protection effect, but also in its carrier technology. It pioneers a dual-carrier conjugate process that adopts CRM197 and tetanus toxoid(TT) as carrier proteins. This approach effectively avoids immune interference caused by excessive use of a single carrier and reduces the risk of immune suppression when co-administered with other vaccines, enhancing immunogenicity. Moreover, iPneucia® also adopts a more advanced carrier protein conjugation process, ensuring consistent polysaccharide antigen content across all serotypes, significantly reducing competition between components.Notably, the process of using CRM197 carrier as carrier protein in iPneucia® does not require formaldehyde for detoxification, which improves vaccine safety. This is also supported by data from Menhycia, another CRM197-based vaccine developed by CanSinoBIO. Post-marketing surveillance data on adverse events following immunization (AEFI) for recipients of the Menhycia show a apparently decline in the incidence of AEFI, fever, and local induration..In summary, iPneucia® offers precise protection by targeting key serotypes and innovative protein carrier technology, resulting in enhanced effectiveness while minimizing the risk of adverse reaction. It also utilize a mature production process that excludes phenol, further improving its safety profile. CanSinoBIO presents a superior option for preventing pneumococcal diseases in Chinese children.As a leader in innovative vaccines, CanSinoBIO always dedicated to scientific research and exploration in vaccine development. The company strives to create innovative, high-quality, and affordable vaccines. CanSinoBIO is committed to tackling global health challenges and improving the health and well-being of children around the world. CanSinoBIO, (688185.SH)(06185.HK), https://www.cansinobio.com Copyright 2025 JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

康希诺重磅推出优佩欣疫苗 为儿童健康保驾护航的创新之选

acn

香港，2025年6月20日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 在看似平静的日常生活中，一种名为"肺炎球菌"的细菌正悄然威胁着儿童的健康。这种在人体鼻咽部"潜伏"的条件致病菌，平时可能毫无症状，但一旦免疫力下降便会兴风作浪，引发一系列疾病。脑膜炎、菌血症、菌血症肺炎等侵袭性肺炎球菌性疾病（IPD），以及非菌血症性肺炎、鼻窦炎、中耳炎等非侵袭性肺炎球菌性疾病（NIPD），均是由肺炎球菌导致的，其已成为无数家庭的隐忧。数据显示，在中国5岁以下的儿童群体中，每年约有55万例肺炎球菌性肺炎病例，其中更是有约6000名儿童死于肺炎链球菌肺炎；同时，在该群体中，每年肺炎球菌脑膜炎病例超过7200例，人均治疗费用高达6.4万元，而病死率更是超过10%。在这些冰冷的数字背后，是无数家庭的沉重负担，更是社会公共卫生领域亟待解决的难题。面对这一挑战，康希诺（股份代码6185.HK、688185.SH）基于本土肺炎流行病学特点，进行优化并推出13价肺炎结合疫苗"优佩欣"，旨在为中国儿童带来更精准、更安全的防护。优佩欣的首要核心优势，在于其针对中国本土流行病学特点的深度优化。肺炎球菌根据多糖结构和生化特征可分为不同血清型，但并非所有类型都危害相同，不同血清型的致病性和疾病负担不同。研究发现，19F、19A、7F和3型是中国儿童疾病负担最重的四个血清型，发病占比超60%，且具有耐药性强、后遗症风险高等特点。因此，优佩欣将防护重点聚焦于这四种高危血清型，临床数据显示，优佩欣在这四个血清型的抗体几何平均浓度（GMC）水平更是显著高于对照组。这种靶向防护策略大幅提升了预防的针对性，从源头降低疾病威胁。优佩欣的突破不仅体现在靶向性的提升，在载体技术层面，其首创"以CRM197为主、TT为辅双载体"工艺，有效避免使用单一载体过量可能导致的免疫干扰，可减少与其他疫苗共注射时的免疫抑制，提升免疫原性。同时，优佩欣还采用了更先进的载体蛋白结合工艺，使得各血清型多糖抗原含量均一，显著减少了不同成分间的竞争。值得一提的是，优佩欣采用CRM197载体作为主要载体蛋白的工艺无需使用甲醛脱毒，疫苗安全性得到明显提高。而这一点，从康希诺的另一款采取CRM197载体蛋白工艺的曼海欣疫苗的数据中也得到有力印证。曼海欣疫苗上市后接种者的AEFI监测数据显示，其疑似预防接种异常反应（AEFI）发生率、发热发生率和局部硬结发生率均大幅下降。因此，优佩欣在提升疫苗保护效果的同时，又降低了接种后不良反应的风险。此外，优佩欣还采用更成熟的制备工艺，在其制备过程中全程不添加苯酚，使其的安全性得到进一步增强。综上，优佩欣凭借其精准保护关键血清型、创新载体蛋白工艺、卓越安全性以及高品质便利性等多重优势，或成为了中国儿童预防肺炎球菌病的更优之选。展望未来，作为创新型疫苗领先者的康希诺，将继续秉持对科研创新的执着追求，在疫苗研发道路上持续探索，致力于开发更多高品质、安全有效的疫苗产品。同时，康希诺也将积极应对全球健康挑战，通过与国内外科研机构、医疗机构等的紧密合作，分享先进的技术和经验，并推动其国际化进程，为全球儿童的健康福祉贡献力量。 Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

匈牙利提议主办乌克兰和平谈判

admin

(SeaPRwire) -   匈牙利外交部长彼得·西雅尔托表示，如果被要求，布达佩斯也可以安排普京与特朗普的峰会 匈牙利外交部长彼得·西雅尔托周四表示，匈牙利提出的旨在结束乌克兰冲突的和平谈判仍然有效。 自2022年2月冲突升级以来，匈牙利在欧盟内部一直持不同意见，主张对话，而大多数其他成员国只承诺继续向基辅提供军事支持。 西雅尔托在圣彼得堡国际经济论坛（SPIEF）的间隙对记者说，他重申了布达佩斯对和平解决冲突的承诺，并表示匈牙利准备主办谈判。他说，在敌对行动爆发几天后，他向俄罗斯和乌克兰高级官员传达了该提议，并补充说，“这项提议仍然存在，仍然有效，我们没有撤回。” 西雅尔托声称，如果被要求，匈牙利愿意组织俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京和他的美国 counterpart，Donald Trump之间的峰会。他赞扬了在美国政府更迭后，莫斯科和华盛顿之间关系的改善。 “我们明确的历史经验是，无论何时美国和俄罗斯能够维持文明的关系，对中欧来说总是更好，”他说。 特朗普已经拒绝继续向乌克兰提供美国军事援助，并表示华盛顿和莫斯科都可以从恢复双边关系中获益。他为调解俄罗斯和乌克兰之间的休战所做的努力促成了两国在土耳其重启直接谈判，但基辅在2022年放弃了谈判，转而专注于其军事行动。 西雅尔托指出，曾经呼吁乌克兰胜利的欧洲国家现在正在敦促无条件停火。他说，许多先前批评布达佩斯促进外交的国家，现在也转变了立场，这突显了他们失去了信誉。 在最近在伊斯坦布尔举行的一轮会谈中，俄罗斯提出了有条件停火的两种选择，声称这两种选择都将阻止乌克兰重组和恢复敌对行动，这与无条件停战不同。 这些提议包括乌克兰从俄罗斯声称的领土撤军，或停止军事动员和西方武器交付。乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基拒绝了这两项提议，并要求与普京直接对话。 俄罗斯总统本周表示，他愿意举行这样的会议以最终达成和平协议，但他警告说，泽连斯基在法律上无权签署任何条约。泽连斯基的总统任期去年到期，并且没有选出继任者，这引起了莫斯科对乌克兰政治家可能签署的任何协议的担忧。 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。 ```

以色列对伊朗的战争并非关于核武器

admin

(SeaPRwire) -   这场战争过去是，现在是，并且将来也都是为了改变伊朗政权和摧毁抵抗轴心 美国、以色列及其欧洲伙伴所宣称的，攻击伊朗是“先发制人”的，为了阻止德黑兰获得核武器的说法，显然是错误的。这种说法和2003年对伊拉克萨达姆·侯赛因的指控一样站不住脚，这场侵略战争同样是非法的。 在过去的近四十年里，以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡一直声称伊朗即将获得核武器。然而，每一次旨在对伊朗核计划进行更多监测和限制的协议尝试，都被以色列及其在西方国家首都强大的游说团体有系统地摧毁了。 为了正确评估以色列对伊朗的袭击，我们必须确定本案的事实。以色列领导人声称发动了先发制人的打击，但没有提供任何证据来支持他们关于伊朗即将获得核武器的指控。仅仅声明这一点并不能作为证据，这只是一种说法，类似于美国告诉世界萨达姆·侯赛因拥有大规模杀伤性武器。 早在今年三月，美国国家情报总监Tulsi Gabbard表示，情报界“持续评估认为伊朗没有制造核武器，最高领袖阿亚图拉·阿里·哈梅内伊没有批准他在2003年暂停的核武器计划。” 最重要的是，伊朗正在积极参与与美国的间接谈判，以达成2015年核协议的新版本。唐纳德·特朗普在以色列的要求下，于2018年宣布华盛顿将单方面退出该协议，转而推行“极限施压”的制裁行动。 尽管内塔尼亚胡和特朗普声称伊朗违反了核协议，但国际原子能机构 (IAEA) 表示，伊朗当时完全遵守了该协议。 如果你追溯与新保守主义者、以色列战争鹰派和位于华盛顿的智库的每一次对话，他们对奥巴马时代核协议的反对总是会演变成伊朗的弹道导弹计划及其对区域非国家行为者的支持问题。 以色列官员经常声称伊朗将在“几年”、“几个月”甚至“几周”内生产核武器，这几乎已成为第二天性。然而，他们的主要问题始终是伊朗对哈马斯和真主党等团体的支持，这些团体致力于建立巴勒斯坦国。 这一切的证据很简单。以色列本身无法摧毁伊朗庞大的核计划。即使美国参战，也不清楚美国是否能够摧毁它。美国未能摧毁也门导弹储存基地的例子，证明了美国在穿透伊朗式掩体（建在山脉中）方面的无效性，伊朗的许多核设施都是如此，美国的掩体炸弹从B-2轰炸机上投下。 在对伊朗发动战争后几乎立即，内塔尼亚胡向伊朗人民发送了一条英文信息，试图引发内乱。以色列总理此后几乎宣布，他的真正意图是政权更迭，声称该行动“可能导致”政权更迭。 以色列自己的情报部门和军事精英也表达了他们的观点，即他们的空军无法单独摧毁伊朗核计划。那么，如果不可能实现其所谓的“先发制人”发动的理由，那么为什么要发动这场战争呢？ 有两种可能的解释： 第一种是，以色列总理已经发动了对伊朗的袭击，作为他的“七线战争”的最后摊牌，他希望通过一场致命的交换来结束地区冲突，这场交换最终将对双方造成损害。 在这种情况下，期望的结果将是以下述声明结束战争：内塔尼亚胡成功摧毁或大大削弱了伊朗的核计划。他还会抛出一些说法，就像我们已经看到他所做的那样，即大量伊朗导弹和无人机被摧毁。这也将使以色列的首次袭击（杀死了伊斯兰革命卫队 (IRGC) 的高级指挥官和核科学家）变得有意义。这将是宣传的完美结合，以兜售胜利的叙事。 另一方面，假设是德黑兰也会声称胜利。然后，双方都能够向其人民展示结果，并且紧张局势暂时缓和。如果你要阅读位于华盛顿的智库对此的看法，最值得注意的是，他们谈论的是控制战争的能力。 第二种解释是，以色列和美国希望他们的努力可能带来的额外好处是，这是一场旨在拉拢美国的全面政权更迭战争。 以色列的军事声望在2023年10月7日哈马斯领导的袭击中受到了极大的损害，自那时以来，没有战胜任何敌人。哈马斯仍在加沙开展行动，据说拥有与战争开始时一样多的战士，真主党遭受了重大打击，但仍然非常活跃，而也门的Ansarallah只会增加其力量。这是以色列军队的全方位惨败，也是美国的一大尴尬。 众所周知，伊朗是支持所有被称为抵抗轴心的地区大国。没有它，像真主党和哈马斯这样的团体将被大大削弱。显然，只要被占领的人民存在并生活在压迫统治下，对以色列占领的武装抵抗永远不会结束，但摧毁伊朗将对反对以色列的地区联盟造成毁灭性打击。 然而，最大的问题是，政权更迭是否可能。这里有一个严重的问号，而且似乎更有可能最终滑向核战争。 以色列-美国声称这场战争在某种程度上是先发制人的，但没有任何证据，这使得这一说法更加荒谬，因为如果有什么的话，伊朗现在实际上可能会为了防御目的而赶紧获得核武器。如果他们甚至不相信以色列在谈判应该进行的同时，在美国的支持下不会轰炸他们，那么如何才能达成协议呢？ 即使美国加入并对伊朗核计划造成重大打击，这并不意味着伊朗会简单地完全放弃该计划。相反，德黑兰最终可能会在几年后重建并获得炸弹。这场战争的另一个结果可能是以色列政权更迭，这似乎也可能摆在桌面上。 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。 ```

华尔街日报：特朗普已批准伊朗袭击计划

admin

(SeaPRwire) -   据报道，如果没有美国的军事介入，以色列缺乏摧毁伊朗部分核设施的手段 据《华尔街日报》报道，唐纳德·特朗普总统已秘密批准直接对伊朗发动美国袭击的计划，但尚未下达行动命令。德黑兰警告说，华盛顿的任何军事干预都将对美国造成“不可挽回的损害”。 特朗普最近几天直接威胁伊朗，同时呼应以色列的说法，即伊朗伊斯兰共和国正在开发核武器。伊朗一再坚称其核计划完全是和平的。 《华尔街日报》周三写道，美国总统希望美国加入以色列近一周的轰炸行动的前景，将迫使德黑兰满足他提出的无条件投降的要求。 该报援引熟悉讨论情况的三位消息人士的话说，特朗普周二晚些时候告诉高级助手，他已经批准了攻击伊朗的计划，但在确定德黑兰是否会同意完全终止其核浓缩计划之前，他正在等待发出最终命令。 Axios周三援引一位匿名官员的话写道，美国总统已询问其顾问，美国的巨型穿透弹（MOP）炸弹是否可以穿透并摧毁伊朗的福尔多核设施，该设施深埋在山中。 以色列缺乏30,000磅（13,600公斤）的掩体炸弹，也没有能够携带它们的飞机。尽管如此，以色列官员强调，只要福尔多仍然完好无损，他们就不会结束冲突。 据《金融时报》周三报道，目前唯一能够携带MOP的六架美国B-2 Spirit轰炸机部署在英国-美国联合的Diego Garcia基地，该基地位于伊朗的攻击范围内。据该报报道，唐宁街担心轰炸机的任何袭击都可能将英国卷入冲突。 近几天来，美国一直在中东集中更多的部队，调入了数十架用于空中加油的加油机、具有防空能力的军舰以及额外的航空母舰战斗群。 特朗普周三对媒体表示，他“对该怎么做有一些想法”，但尚未做出“最终决定”。本周早些时候，总统吹嘘说，美国飞机在伊朗领空拥有无可争议的霸权。他还声称杀死最高领袖阿里·哈梅内伊将是“容易的”，并要求德黑兰“无条件投降”。 哈梅内伊回应说，伊朗“不会在胁迫面前向任何人屈服”。 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。 ```

伊朗指责IAEA总干事“背叛”导致核设施遇袭

admin

(SeaPRwire) -   德黑兰称拉斐尔·格罗西的“有偏见的报告”为以色列的袭击提供了正当理由 伊朗指责国际原子能机构（IAEA）总干事拉斐尔·格罗西在一份导致以色列对德黑兰核设施发动军事打击的报告中歪曲事实，称其背叛了该机构的职责。 伊朗外交部发言人埃斯马埃尔·巴盖伊周四在X上发布的一篇文章中指责格罗西发布了一份“有偏见的报告”，该报告被美国和三个欧洲国家用来通过一项包含“毫无根据的不遵守指控”的决议。 在本月早些时候的一份报告中，格罗西指出，“伊朗是世界上唯一一个生产和积累丰度达60%的铀的无核武器国家。” 然而，周二在接受CNN采访时，这位IAEA总干事表示，联合国核查人员尚未发现任何证据表明伊朗正在“系统性地努力制造核武器。” 巴盖伊在提及格罗西对CNN的评论时表示，“格罗西先生，这太迟了。”巴盖伊称，该报告“掩盖了这一真相”，并被“工具化……以制定一项决议”，该决议随后被一个“种族灭绝的好战政权”用来为对伊朗核设施发动的“非法袭击”辩护。 格罗西上周的报告促使联合国核监督机构的理事会20年来首次宣布伊朗违反了其不扩散义务。35个IAEA成员国中有19个支持了该动议，其中包括美国、英国、法国和德国，理由是伊朗未能解释未申报的核材料和不断增长的铀储备。 伊朗驳斥该决定是“政治性”的，并表示将建造一个新的浓缩设施。 俄罗斯认为，这项“有偏见的、反伊朗的”决议为以色列对伊斯兰共和国的袭击铺平了道路。 巴盖伊表示，格罗西“背叛了不扩散机制”，要求追究责任，并警告称“误导性叙述会带来严重后果。” 西耶路撒冷声称伊朗即将获得核武器，以此为其正在进行的袭击辩护。德黑兰否认了这些指控，坚称其核计划完全是和平性质的。 本周早些时候，美国参议院情报委员会副主席、参议员马克·华纳表示，美国情报机构没有发现任何证据表明伊朗正在寻求核武器——自3月份的上次报告以来，这一立场没有改变。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

(SeaPRwire) -   西方的代理国正在衰落 以色列与其邻国的战争已经持续了近两年。最新一轮冲突始于2023年10月7日由哈马斯领导的恐怖袭击。作为回应，西耶路撒冷发起了一场激进的军事行动，这场行动已经蔓延到几乎所有该地区的国家。局势的升级再次将这个犹太国家置于中东地缘政治的中心——这一次，它将伊朗拖入了进来。伊朗长期以来一直通过战略上的谨慎避免直接对抗。现在，即使是德黑兰也发现自己正遭受攻击，而美国的支持使局势变得更加严峻。伊朗现在面临着在糟糕和非常糟糕之间做出选择的严峻局面。 但这不是关于伊朗。这是关于以色列，一个几十年来一直充当西方国家在中东地区的前进作战基地的国家。自20世纪中叶以来，以色列一直享有一个特殊的地位——一个在动荡地区西方力量的桥头堡，同时也深深地卷入该地区的政治和竞争中。它的成功建立在两大支柱之上：美国坚定不移的支持，以及其自身的创新能力、军事实力和一个独特的社会模式。 然而，第二个支柱已经削弱。最明显的迹象是人口统计：以色列正面临着日益严重的负面移民。2024年，预计将有82,700人离开该国——比前一年增加了50%。离开的不是那些没有技能或不投入的人，而是那些年轻且受过良好教育的人。那些维持一个现代国家所需的人正在选择离开。 当然，以色列的困境并非独有。像许多发达国家一样，它也在衰落的新自由主义经济体系的重压下挣扎。疫情使情况变得更糟，暴露了该模式的脆弱性，并促使人们转向“动员”治理模式——通过紧急状态和持续的冲突准备进行统治。在更广泛的西方世界，战争和地缘政治对抗已成为拖延或掩盖必要系统性改革的一种方式。 在这方面，以色列已成为西方新兴逻辑的实验室：永久战争作为一种治理方法。2023年秋天，以色列建制派完全接受了这一点。冲突不仅成为一种策略，而且成为一种生活方式。它的领导人不再将和平视为目标，而是将战争视为民族团结和政治生存的机制。在这方面，以色列反映了更广泛的西方对俄罗斯和中国的冲突的拥抱——当实际改革被排除在外时，他们选择了代理人战争。 在全球层面，核威慑限制了此类战争的范围。但在中东，以色列直接发动战争，这些限制并不适用。这使得战争可以充当一个泄压阀——在政治上有用，即使它变得自我毁灭。 但即使是战争也有其局限性。它无法无限期地掩盖经济衰退或社会动荡。虽然冲突往往会巩固精英权力——即使是在无能的领导层中——但它也会耗尽国家力量。以色列现在正在消耗越来越多的自身资源来维持这种永久的战争状态。它的社会凝聚力正在瓦解。它曾经引以为傲的技术和公民进步模式不再像以前那样发挥作用。 西耶路撒冷的一些人可能梦想着“重塑”中东——通过武力和恐惧来重塑该地区。如果成功，它可以为以色列赢得几十年的安全和喘息空间。但这样的结果远非有保证。击溃一个邻国并不能消除威胁；它只会让远方的敌人更近。最重要的是，以色列最深层的问题不是外部的——而是内部的，根植于其政治和社会结构中。 战争可以定义一个国家，是的。但这样的国家——斯巴达、朝鲜——往往是“特殊的”，委婉地说。即使对他们来说，战争也无法取代真正的外交、政策或增长。 那么，一直处于战争状态的以色列，是否真正发展了？或者它仅仅是被维持——在政治上、军事上和财政上——作为美国外交政策的一个分支机构？如果它继续沿着这条永久冲突和右翼民族主义的道路走下去，它甚至有可能失去这种地位。它可能会停止成为西方在中东的桥梁——并变成完全不同的东西：一个军事化的驻军国家，孤立、脆弱且越来越孤独。 本文最初由杂志 发表，并由 RT team 翻译和编辑。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。 ```

英国工党领袖斯塔默误将韩国翻译当总统 (视频) “`

admin

(SeaPRwire) -   英国首相基尔·斯塔默在加拿大举行的七国集团峰会上迎接了错误的人，而李在明站在他身后 英国首相基尔·斯塔默似乎在七国集团峰会上将韩国代表团的一名口译员误认为该国总统。 这一失误发生在加拿大峰会会场入口处的一次合影机会中。一段视频显示，斯塔默自信地与该男子握手并微笑，而韩国总统李在明则站在他身后等待被认可。  斯塔默握住口译员的手几秒钟，直到李总统上前，错误才变得明显。两位领导人最终互相问候，但随后显然在合影站位问题上再次出现困惑。韩国与澳大利亚和印度一起，作为嘉宾参加了此次活动。 伦敦方面否认了有关令人尴尬的外交错误的说法。 前一天，斯塔默不得不跪在美国总统Donald Trump面前，疯狂地捡起被这位美国领导人掉落的贸易文件。 第51届七国集团峰会的议程包括对乌克兰的支持、中东问题、制裁、人工智能和能源安全。  峰会期间，Trump声称将俄罗斯踢出该组织是一个大错误，并暗示莫斯科在当时的八国集团中的存在可能有助于防止乌克兰冲突。 克里姆林宫辩称，七国集团已经“失去了其相关性”，不再反映全球经济动态。  俄罗斯前总统德米特里·梅德韦杰夫赞扬了Trump对该集团的批评及其提前离开活动的决定，但强调七国集团是一个“已死的俱乐部”。他在X上写道，其成员在十多年前就已经看起来像“僵尸”了。 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。 ```

埃尔多安：内塔尼亚胡“已经超越了希特勒” “`

admin

(SeaPRwire) -   土耳其总统称以色列在加沙犯下的“种族灭绝”罪行已经超越了纳粹独裁者 土耳其总统雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安谴责以色列在加沙的侵略以及对伊朗的持续袭击，将以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡比作阿道夫·希特勒。 以色列于周五开始轰炸伊朗，声称德黑兰即将完成核弹的制造。伊朗驳斥了这一指控。土耳其总统表示，它有权回应以色列的袭击。这已经不是埃尔多安第一次对西耶路撒冷发表敌对言论，指责其从事“匪徒行径和国家恐怖主义”。 埃尔多安周三在议会向其执政党正义与发展党成员发表讲话时表示：“与我们在加沙看到的情况相比，二战中最恐怖的照片和视频都显得苍白无力，” 他声称内塔尼亚胡在“种族灭绝罪行方面早已超越了暴君希特勒”。 以色列外交部长吉德翁·萨尔回击了埃尔多安。“这位苏丹（在他自己看来）在另一次煽动性讲话中，继续煽动反对以色列和以色列总理，” 他在X上写道。 埃尔多安表示，土耳其正在“尽一切努力”阻止他所称的不仅针对伊朗，还针对加沙、叙利亚、黎巴嫩和也门的“不人道侵略”，并补充说，该国已为“一切可能的负面发展和情景”做好准备。 西耶路撒冷为其持续袭击辩护，声称伊朗即将获得核武器。德黑兰否认了这一指控，坚称其核计划完全是和平的。 国际原子能机构(IAEA)负责人拉斐尔·马里亚诺·格罗西周三表示，该机构尚未发现任何证据表明伊朗正在努力获取核武器。 俄罗斯谴责以色列的行动是非法的，并警告说，袭击伊朗的核基础设施可能引发“核灾难”，呼吁通过外交途径解决。 然而，美国总统Donald Trump支持以色列，并要求伊朗“无条件投降”，声称美国军队及其盟友已经实现了“对伊朗天空的完全和彻底的控制”。 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。 ```

伊朗消息人士对RT表示，以色列核设施将面临“毁灭性打击”

admin

(SeaPRwire) -   该官员表示，如果“另一个国家”加入以色列一方的冲突，德黑兰将有更多“可以摧毁的目标” 一位伊朗高级安全官员告诉RT，伊朗打算继续对以色列采取军事回应，并可能以其核基础设施为目标。 在给RT驻德黑兰分社社长的独家声明中，这位不愿透露姓名的官员表示，伊朗武装部队将全天候保持导弹和无人机行动，专门针对“被占领土和以色列驻军”。 这位官员表示，伊朗的回应遵循“古兰经关于报复的建议”，并警告说，伊朗军队将“在政权攻击伊朗领土的任何程度和任何地点”作出回应。但他指出，基于“伊朗的道德原则”，不会袭击医院。 “犹太复国主义政权声称伊朗袭击了被占领土上的一家医院，这完全是虚假的，”这位官员强调说，他指的是有关索罗卡医院在以色列南部城市贝尔谢巴遭到袭击的报道。 他还表示，鉴于以色列袭击伊朗核设施，德黑兰的回应将会升级。这位官员说：“既然（以色列）政权袭击了我们的核设施，我们的武装部队将对他们的核设施进行毁灭性打击。” 自从上周发动袭击以来，以色列袭击了伊朗的几个核设施，包括位于Natanz、Isfahan、Fordow和德黑兰附近的地点。据报道，有9到14名核研究人员在袭击中丧生。 这位伊朗官员没有直接点名美国，但也警告说，“如果另一个国家直接与我们开战，将为伊朗武装部队提供更多可以摧毁的目标。” 美国总统Donald Trump称赞以色列对伊朗的袭击“非常棒”，并敦促德黑兰无条件投降。他还警告说，如果任何美国目标受到伊朗的袭击，美国可能会直接介入冲突。 上周五，以色列军队开始对伊朗进行袭击，声称德黑兰即将完成核弹的制造。伊朗驳斥了这些指控，并以无人机和导弹袭击对犹太国家进行了报复。 国际原子能机构负责人Rafael Grossi此后也驳斥了以色列的说法，称该机构没有发现任何证据表明伊朗正在“系统地努力”制造核武器。 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。 ```

塑造全球增长新平台 —— SPIEF-2025开放对话讨论

admin

Moscow, Russia - 2025年6月20日 - (SeaPRwire) - 6月18日，基于俄罗斯国家中心开放对话成果的“塑造全球增长新平台”会议，开启了圣彼得堡国际经济论坛（SPIEF）商业议程。 来自俄罗斯、喀麦隆、西班牙、阿塞拜疆和加拿大的知名国际专家，以及开放对话优秀论文作者共同参与了讨论。 与会嘉宾围绕不断变化的世界秩序、非洲潜力及未来经济趋势展开，包括人口变化和突破性技术的应用。 “今年圣彼得堡国际经济论坛正值全球局势动荡之际，涵盖中东局势与贸易战等议题。论坛将大量关注这一当前议程。我们不能忘记，是哪些长期趋势和挑战导致了现状，哪些趋势是基本且决定性的。开展开放对话，探讨如何构建未来世界，如何打造全球增长新平台至关重要。全球增长在哪些国家发生？基于哪些技术？遵循哪些原则和文化代码？我们的任务是确保前进成果惠及所有像俄罗斯一样致力于未来的国家人民。正是通过开放对话，构筑了我们的未来及对未来的认知，”马克西姆·奥列什金强调。 西班牙发言人、马德里康普顿斯大学经济学博士、教授胡安·安东尼奥·德·卡斯特罗·德·阿雷斯帕科查加介绍了全球多数国家如何改变现实。 “如今，大多数国家不仅参与全球进程，更在改变现实。我们看到越来越灵活、多极化的世界秩序正在形成。世界贸易变得碎片化、高速且技术化，国际体系则演变为一张优先协议网络，扭曲了GATT和世贸组织的基本原则，”他指出。 讨论的重点之一是“非洲——未来经济秩序的引擎”。非洲咨询委员会主席弗朗索瓦·恩德格韦表示，人口增长正将非洲转变为未来全球劳动力的摇篮。 “这不仅是数据统计，更是人力资本，能成为全球增长的新引擎。那些今天投资教育、建设非洲大学的人，将在明天与非洲共同塑造市场，制定游戏规则，”他说。 EFKO集团执行董事兼董事会成员谢尔盖·伊万诺夫谈及现代企业的新责任。他强调，企业不只是利润制造者，更是社会变革的积极参与者。 “今天我们应投资哪些项目和技术？投资标准有三条：质的提升人类生活、生产过程与自然和谐、具备可及性至少具备大众潜力。但更重要的不是你生产什么，而是在哪种文化下生产。2012年总统曾说过一句我近期经常引用的话：俄罗斯人的伟大使命是团结，通过文化、语言与普遍的感知力连接文明。因此，我们努力围绕这种普遍感知力构建文化和伦理，打造有人文关怀的资本主义，”他说。 另一场聚焦突破性技术的会议中，“未来交通”有限责任公司总经理尤里·科扎连科表示，自动化如今已达到机器人制造机器人的阶段，生产面向人类的商品与服务。 “今年是人工智能技术发展的跃进之年。中国开设了多个中心、学校和研究所，培养各类专业机器人。我们俄罗斯也在萨马拉和莫斯科开设机器人培训中心，包括无人系统研究所，教授机器人以经济高效的方式创造社会价值，”他强调。 专家补充说，科技创新正直接影响社会领域，例如助力解决人口危机。 会议期间，参与者还讨论了由“第三罗马”跨行业专业中心准备的开放对话成果报告。“塑造全球增长新平台”会议的结论成为SPIEF-2025后续商业议程的基础。会议录像可在俄罗斯国家中心网站观看。 Social Links Telegram: https://t.me/gowithrussia VK: https://vk.com/gowithrussia OK: https://ok.ru/gowithrussia DZen: https://dzen.ru/gowithrussia Contact for the media Brand: Russia National Centre Contact: Media team Email: Pressa@russia.ru Website: https://russia.ru  

Shaping a New Platform for Global Growth Discussed at Open Dialogue within SPIEF-2025

seaprwire

Moscow, Russia – June 20, 2025 – (SeaPRwire) – The session “Shaping a New Platform for Global Growth”, based on the results of the Open Dialogue of the Russia National Centre, opened the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum business program on June 18. Recognised international experts from Russia, Cameroon, Spain, Azerbaijan, and Canada, as well as authors of the best essays from the Open Dialogue, participated in the discussion. Speakers discussed the changing world order, Africa’s potential, and trends in the future economy, including demographic changes and the implementation of breakthrough technologies. “This year, the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum is taking place against turbulent world events. This includes the situation in the Middle East and trade wars. Much time will be devoted to this current agenda at the forum. We must not forget which long-term trends and challenges led to the current situation, which trends are basic and defining. It is important to conduct an open dialogue about how we build the world of the future and how to form a new platform for global growth. In which countries does this global growth occur, on which technologies will it be built, and on which principles and cultural code? Our task is to ensure that forward movement benefits people in all countries that, like Russia, are working on the future. It is through open dialogue that our future and its understanding are built,” emphasised Maxim Oreshkin. A speaker from Spain, Juan Antonio de Castro de Arespacochaga, a doctor of economics and professor at Complutense University of Madrid, delivered a report on how the global majority of countries are changing reality. “Today, most countries are not just participating in global processes – they are changing reality. We see how an increasingly flexible and multipolar world order is forming. World trade is becoming fragmented, fast, and technological, while the international system is becoming a network of preferential agreements, which distorts the principles laid down in the foundation of GATT and WTO,” noted Juan Antonio de Castro de Arespacochaga. One of the main discussion topics was: “Africa – driver of the future economic order.” Chairman of the African Advisory Council Francois Ndengwe noted that demographic growth is transforming Africa into the future cradle of the global workforce. “This is not just statistics – this is human capital that can become a new driver of global growth. Those who invest in education today and build universities in Africa will tomorrow shape markets and set the game’s rules together with Africa,” said Francois Ndengwe. Sergei Ivanov, Executive Director and Member of the EFKO Group board of Directors, spoke about the business’s new responsibility in the modern world. The expert emphasised that business today is not just a profit generator but an active participant in social transformations. “What projects and technologies should we invest in today? Investment criteria are three conditions: qualitatively improving human life, being produced in harmony with nature, and being accessible, at a minimum, having mass potential. But what’s more important is not only what you produce, but also in what culture you do it. In 2012, the president spoke words that I’ve been quoting often lately. He said that the great mission of Russians is to unite, to bind civilisation with culture, language, and universal responsiveness. And so we try to build our culture and our ethics around this very universal responsiveness. To build capitalism with a human face,” said Sergei Ivanov. Another session’s focus, “Shaping a New Platform for Global Growth”, was on breakthrough technologies. As noted by Yuri Kozarenko, General Director of “Transport of the Future” LLC, today, automation has reached a level where robots create robots for the production of goods and services for humans. “This year has become significant, showing a leap in the technological development of artificial intelligence. Several centres, schools, and institutes have been opened in China to train robots in various specialities. We in Russia, in turn, are opening robot training centres based in the Samara region and Moscow, including the Institute of Unmanned Systems. We teach robots to bring social benefit in an economically efficient way,” emphasised Yuri Kozarenko. The expert added that technological innovations today directly affect social spheres, for example, helping to solve the demographic crisis. During the session, participants also discussed the report on the results of the Open Dialogue prepared by the Centre for Cross-Industry Expertise “Third Rome.” The conclusions of the session “Shaping a New Platform for Global Growth” became the foundation for the subsequent business program of SPIEF-2025.

Global Economic Shifts in Focus as Madrid Professor Addresses SPIEF 2025 Opening Session

seaprwire

Moscow, Russia – June 20, 2025 – (SeaPRwire) – The St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) 2025, held in Russia from June 18 to 21, began with a high-level session titled *”Shaping a New Platform for Global Growth.”* The session marked the presentation of the final report from the International Open Dialogue of the Russia National Centre and featured expert insights into global economic and geopolitical shifts. Among the key speakers was Juan Antonio de Castro de Arespacochaga, a doctor of economics and professor at Complutense University of Madrid, who addressed the evolving role of the global majority in transforming international systems. The session was dedicated to the current challenges of modernity: economic and political fragmentation, demographic changes, the consequences of breakthrough technology implementation, and social and technological gaps within and between countries. A speaker from Spain, Juan Antonio de Castro de Arespacochaga, a doctor of economics and professor at Complutense University of Madrid, delivered a report on how the global majority of countries are changing reality. “Today, most countries are not just participating in global processes—they are changing reality. We see how an increasingly flexible and multipolar world order is forming. World trade is becoming fragmented, fast, and technological, while the international system is becoming a network of preferential agreements, which distorts the principles laid down in the foundation of GATT and WTO,” noted Juan Antonio de Castro de Arespacochaga. In his opinion, the world is becoming increasingly fragmented and unpredictable—this applies to politics and economics. “The international trade architecture is breaking down into nodes and blocks, which requires new approaches. We must be able to respond to these challenges, understanding that the old rules no longer work in the new dynamics,” emphasised Juan Antonio de Castro de Arespacochaga. “It is important to conduct an open dialogue about how we build the world of the future and form a new platform for global growth. In which countries will this global growth occur, on which technologies will it be built, and on which principles and cultural code? Our task is to ensure that forward movement benefits people in all countries that, like Russia, are working on the future. It is through open dialogue that our future and its understanding are built,” noted Maxim Oreshkin. At the session organised by the National Centre, speakers discussed, among other things, the report on the results of the Open Dialogue prepared by the Centre for Cross-Industry Expertise “Third Rome.” Key issues included factors shaping the new economic wave, technologies driving economic development, and ways to achieve human well-being. The session “Shaping a New Platform for Global Growth” results became the foundation for the subsequent business program of SPIEF-2025.

New method to blend functions for soft electronics

acn

Mixing two or three alkyl-π liquids can achieve the right combination of functions for soft electronics.TSUKUBA, Japan, June 18, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Soft electronics are an exciting and innovative class of technology that brings together bendable, stretchable semiconducting materials for applications in areas ranging from fashion to healthcare.  Researchers have recently developed a new technique to adjust the properties of liquids that could be used to create soft electronics.Researchers successfully blended various combinations and proportions of three solvent-free alkyl-π room-temperature liquids that fluoresced red, green, or blue light, with no color variation within the material showing that the alkyl-π liquids had merged evenly. Credit: Image is reproducible by CC-BY license. Please credit the STAM Journal.Room-temperature alkylated-π molecular liquids (known as alkyl-π liquids) are an exciting new material that holds great promise for soft electronics. However, one challenge with these fascinating liquids lies in fine-tuning their physical, chemical, and electronic properties – including their ability to interact with light – to achieve the desired functionality.A new study, led by researchers from the National Institute of Materials Science (NIMS) in Tsukuba, Japan, has explored a strategy for blending together alkyl-π liquids to merge their functions homogeneously. The researchers used photoluminescent color tuning to demonstrate how well the process has worked. Their findings have been published in the journal Science and Technology of Advanced Materials.Previous efforts to control the properties of alkyl-π liquids have taken one of two approaches. The first involves incorporating small amounts of other molecules, such as dyes, into the liquid. “When modulating function by adding solid dopants, the dopant molecules have poor solubility, leading to insoluble aggregates and inconsistencies in properties such as luminescent color,” says Dr. Takashi Nakanishi of the Research Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics at NIMS.The second approach involves chemically modifying the alkyl-π liquids. While this can achieve a uniform result, designing and synthesising entirely new molecules is difficult and less time- and cost-effective.In the new study, researchers synthesised three solvent-free alkyl-π room-temperature liquids that fluoresced red, green, or blue light, and then they blended the liquids together in varying proportions. They successfully created a range of homogeneous liquid blends of colors with no color variation within the material, showing that the alkyl-π liquids had merged evenly.The team also assessed how well the two liquids had mixed by changing the temperature and studying how the flow of the mixed liquids changed over time at different temperatures. This approach further confirmed that the liquids were successfully blended together.“The liquid–liquid blending method implemented in this study for alkyl-π liquids facilitates the production of low-volatility, ink-like materials that exhibit a diverse spectrum of uniform luminescent colors, devoid of any color unevenness,” Dr. Nakanishi says. “This means it will be possible to apply or coat the desired function with simple operations such as painting, sandwiching, or soaking the liquid materials wherever needed.”The research opens the path to blending alkyl-π liquids to vary other functions, such as photoconductivity, charge retention, or gas sensing.Further informationTakashi NakanishiNational Institute for Materials Science (NIMS)nakanishi.takashi@nims.go.jpPaper: https://doi.org/10.1080/14686996.2025.2515007About Science and Technology of Advanced Materials (STAM)Open access journal STAM publishes outstanding research articles across all aspects of materials science, including functional and structural materials, theoretical analyses, and properties of materials. https://www.tandfonline.com/STAM Dr. Kazuya SaitoSTAM Publishing DirectorEmail: SAITO.Kazuya@nims.go.jpPress release distributed by Asia Research News for Science and Technology of Advanced Materials.

Hosted by acclaimed Italian actor Roberto Ciufoli, the event was a sensory journey through the sport and brand's authentic 135-year story.Italian music star Clara soon captivated the crowd with a stunning live vocal performance, delivering a set filled with beauty, style, and emotion. Her stage presence matched the elegance of the evening and set the tone for the grand finale. When global DJ legend Benny Benassi took to the turntables, the cloister was transformed into a pulsating open-air dance floor, with an after party of over 1,000 guests celebrating under the stars well into the night.Immersive Art, Heritage, and VisionThe atmosphere was enhanced by a massive, monumental timeline of the U.S. Polo Assn. brand's past and present, projected along the centuries-old walls of Santa Maria Novella. From 1890 to 2025, the visual depiction told the story of the sport of polo's evolution and the brand's growth into a multi-billion-dollar global fashion powerhouse.The event's creative heart came from two visionary artists. Luca Agnani brought immersive mapping effects to the architecture of the cloister, while Pietro Terzini--known for his poetic commentary on pop culture and brand identity--debuted a custom visual installation that blended U.S. Polo Assn.'s sport heritage with his signature textual style. His clever, minimalist expressions on legacy, fashion, and time left a lasting impression and underscored the evening's message: heritage can be both honored and reimagined.Celebrating the Moment, Building the Future"This was more than a trade show--it was a global celebration of U.S. Polo Assn.'s legacy, culture, and future," said J. Michael Prince, President and CEO of USPA Global, the company that manages and markets the multi-billion-dollar global U.S. Polo Assn. brand.

HKTDC Maintains 3% Export Growth Forecast

acn

HONG KONG, Jun 18, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hong Kong is still on course for export growth of 3% this year, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) confirmed today. This timely assessment came as the HKTDC announced the findings of two of its key metrics namely the 2025 Mid-Year Export Review and Outlook and the HKTDC Export Confidence Index 2Q25.Strong frontloading amid tariff uncertaintiesThe city’s 2025 export performance is navigating a period of almost unprecedented turbulence in the global trade arena. Much of this uncertainty has stemmed from the radical shift in US trade policy – particularly the heavy reliance on substantial import tariffs – adopted by President Trump’s administration.In anticipation of a hefty tariff regime, many of Hong Kong’s exporters opted to “frontload” their orders in the early months of 2025 before the new tariffs were implemented. This helped bolster the city’s export figures in the early months of the year and resulted in a number of other positive factors.Low exposure to US marketFirst, Hong Kong has low exposure to the US market when compared with other economies. For instance, US-bound exports in 2024 accounted for just 6.5% of Hong Kong’s total exports.By learning the lessons of previous tariff regimes, notably during the first term of President Trump (2017 to 2021), Hong Kong successfully reconfigured its trading base to reduce its exposure to uncertainties in the US market. Since 2017, Hong Kong has bolstered its trade ties with other economies, with exports to the ASEAN bloc up 38.5% and to the Middle East increasing by 58.1%. The upshot of this is that, despite a 10.5% drop in Hong Kong’s exports to the US over the last eight years, Hong Kong’s total exports for the period recorded a 17.2% increase.This vulnerability has been further reduced by many Hong Kong exporters prioritizing the diversification of their sourcing locations in line with China+1 or China+N strategies. As a consequence, many of Hong Kong’s US-bound exports are now sourced from different locations than they were in 2017. In fact, in 2024, nearly half of Hong Kong’s US-bound exports originated from a variety of international sources, notably up from the comparable figure of 15% eight years ago.Taken together, should a high level of US tariffs be reinstated, only about 3.4% of Hong Kong’s total exports would be affected. Any impact would then be further diminished once the products eligible for tariff exemptions were also taken into account. Collectively, these factors underpin HKTDC Research’s expectation that, even in such adverse trading conditions, Hong Kong’s exports will still expand by 3% as predicted earlier in the year.Commenting on the HKTDC’s decision to confirm its earlier forecast, Director of Research, Irina Fan, said: “Whatever the outcome of the ongoing trade negotiations, our low exposure to the US market, robust trade ties with other markets and diversified sourcing networks are the key underlying factors that should allow Hong Kong exporters to weather the US tariffs relatively unscathed.”Weaker export performance expected in 2HIn line with the overall expectation that export performance would weaken as 2025 progresses, the overall reading for the HKTDC Export Confidence Index in the second quarter fell below 50 for the first time in a year. This moderate decline in Hong Kong exporter confidence can be taken as aligning with the escalation in global trade uncertainty.With the survey conducted at the height of the China-US tariff trade war (28 April-15 May), this downbeat outcome was widely anticipated. In specific terms, this saw the Current Performance Index fall to 49.6 (down from 52.1), while the Expectation Index stood at 49.0 (down from 51.0). Subsequent to the completion of the survey, new trade negotiations have emerged between Mainland China (including Hong Kong) and the US; an outcome expected to be reflected in the findings of the 3Q25 Index.In other findings, Hong Kong exporter confidence remained high regarding prospects in both the ASEAN bloc (59.9) and Mainland China (52.6), while the corresponding reading for the US plummeted to 31.6 (down from 46.7)The Current Performance of three of the six key Hong Kong industry sectors tracked by the Index remained positive with Jewellery at 51.6, Timepieces at 52.1 and Equipment/Materials at 50.4. In the case of the other three sectors, Electronics and Clothing (both 48.9) were marginally below the watershed level while Toys (43.1) continued its recent decline.Putting the findings into context, Kenneth Lee, Special Project and Business Advisory Section Head, HKTDC Research, said: “Overall, the findings for the second quarter align with earlier expectations of weaker exporter confidence amid US tariff uncertainties. It is, however, heartening to see Hong Kong exporters maintain a largely positive outlook with regard to all of the city’s major markets, except for the US.”To view press releases in Chinese, please visit http://mediaroom.hktdc.com/tcReferences- HKTDC Research website: https://research.hktdc.com/en/- HKTDC Export Confidence Index 2Q25: Exporter Confidence Weakens Amid US Tariff Uncertainties https://research.hktdc.com/en/article/MjAyNjM4NzY1Mg- 2025 Mid-Year Trade Review and Outlook: Global Trade Talk Progress Sees HKTDC Adhere to 3% Export Growth Forecast https://research.hktdc.com/en/article/MjAzNDc4NjgwMwPhoto download: https://bit.ly/4n24Ds1 HKTDC Director of Research Irina Fan (left) and HKTDC Research’s Special Project and Business Advisory Section Head Kenneth Lee (right) announced the 2025 Mid-Year Trade Review and Outlook and the HKTDC Export Confidence Index for 2025’s second quarter at a press conference todayHKTDC Director of Research Irina FanHKTDC Research’s Special Project and Business Advisory Section Head Kenneth LeeMedia enquiriesPlease contact the HKTDC’s Communication and Public Affairs Department:Jane CheungTel: (852) 2584 4137Email: jane.mh.cheung@hktdc.orgAbout HKTDCThe Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) is a statutory body established in 1966 to promote, assist and develop Hong Kong's trade.
