(SeaPRwire) - 拉里·埃里森（Larry Ellison）是科技和体育领域的资深大亨，他最近透露计划将自己的____用于Paramount–Skydance的合并，这一消息在商业和慈善界引起了轩然大波——这笔交易不仅重新定义了好莱坞的未来，也重新定义了埃里森自己的遗产。 埃里森承诺个人出资400亿美元支持儿子的Paramount交易，这不是传统意义上的慈善捐赠。这更能代表这个亿万富翁时代的特征：慈善资本主义，即大量个人____通过市场而非市场之外的渠道部署，“捐赠”越来越意味着重塑行业，而不是向传统慈善机构开具支票。 而此时，以沃伦·巴菲特（Warren Buffett）和比尔·盖茨（Bill Gates）为代表的旧版亿万富翁慈善模式正____，这使得通过基金会进行的捐赠与通过交易单进行的捐赠形成了鲜明对比。 埃里森的举动既大胆又私密。他的儿子大卫·埃里森（David Ellison）经营着Skydance，这家新兴工作室一直在关注Paramount，现在打算将好莱坞的传统资产与技术领先的流媒体原生战略融合。埃里森的承诺是为Paramount的竞标提供超过400亿美元股权和债务支持的个人担保，这实际上将敌意收购转变为家族支持的资本项目。这是一位父亲的信心展示，但也是一位数据时代大亨试图将自己的世界观融入下一代媒体基础设施的尝试。 即使埃里森从未提及慈善，这一点也值得注意。但这位____联合创始人多年来公开____了至少95%的____，加入了那些表示不打算带着大部分财富去世的超级捐赠者行列。在这种背景下，对Paramount的担保与其说是一笔副业赌注，不如说是他打算如何履行这一承诺的预览：不是主要通过向慈善机构提供匿名赠款，而是将巨额资金投入他认为能够“修复”大型系统的实体——医疗、软件，现在还有娱乐。 亿万富翁捐赠的日益分化 这种理念将埃里森与麦肯齐·斯科特（MacKenzie Scott）这样的人区分开来，后者已成为更传统、以社区为中心的亿万富翁捐赠模式的代表。斯科特已将数百亿美元的____分配给数千家非营利组织，刻意重点关注服务边缘化社区的组织——从住房和食品安全团体到HBCUs（历史黑人学院和大学）和基层种族正义网络。她的变革理论很简单：迅速将资源转移给实地组织，信任当地领导人分配资源，避免大型基金会的管理费用和权力集中。 相比之下，埃里森长期以来更倾向于资助那些更像是他职业生活延伸的机构。他公开的最大笔捐赠用于尖端医学研究和融合科学与技术的机构，例如癌症和AI驱动的医学项目。对Paramount的承诺将这种模式扩展到了文化领域。埃里森没有资助媒体素养项目或新闻非营利组织，而是在影响谁拥有“管道”本身：即制作和分发全球故事的工作室、图书馆和平台。 这种转变并不只有他一人。马克·扎克伯格（Mark Zuckerberg）和普莉希拉·陈（Priscilla Chan）的Chan Zuckerberg Initiative（CZI）就是如此。在涵盖教育改革和政策相关工作的早期阶段之后，CZI加倍投入科学研究、AI赋能的生物学和大型研究基础设施。从结构上看，它不太像传统基金会，更像是投资基金和实验室网络的混合体，重点是构建其他科学家和机构将使用的工具和平台。当这些捐赠者谈论“影响”时，他们通常指的是重塑核心系统的运作方式，而不仅仅是扩大在这些系统内运作的组织的预算。 我们可以称之为亿万富翁的分叉。一方面是像斯科特这样的慈善家，他们的捐赠类似于20世纪慈善事业的强化版：向非营利组织、大学和社区团体提供大量支票，通常附加条件更少，更注重公平。另一方面是埃里森和扎克伯格，他们正在开创一种模式，其中慈善事业几乎与产业战略无法区分。从技术上讲，这些资金可能存放在慈善工具中。但它仍然流入捐赠者帮助控制的公司、实验室和平台，这些实体正好在他们创造____的市场内运作。 传统慈善的局限性 这引发了关于权力和问责制的令人不安的问题。当400亿美元被承诺用于支持媒体合并（部分被描述为对文化和技术进步的长期贡献）时，谁有权决定什么算作公共利益？股东肯定会有发言权。监管机构可能会介入。但与向食品银行或法律援助非营利组织提供的传统赠款不同，一个强化的好莱坞帝国的社会回报是分散的、有争议的，并通过订阅价格、内容策略和劳工谈判来调节。 然而，慈善资本主义也反映了当今最富有的创始人的一种真实焦虑：他们认为，对于结构性和技术性问题，传统慈善的进展过于缓慢。对埃里森来说，建立一个更强大、懂AI的工作室系统可能比资助分散的媒体非营利组织组合更有意义。如果你相信未来是用代码编写的，并通过少数全球平台分发，那么拥有这一机制的更大份额可能看起来是花费你誓言要放弃的____的最负责任的方式。 埃里森对Paramount和他儿子愿景的400亿美元赌注，最终可能被视为精明的商业策略、冒险的父爱表现，或构建遗产的大胆实验。但在新兴的亿万富翁捐赠手册中，它已经有了明确的位置。当“捐赠”意味着永远不让它离开创造它的生态系统时——当慈善事业从基金会分类账转移到交易单上，而资本主义本身成为慈善的主要工具时，这就是它的样子。 在这篇报道中，记者将生成式AI用作研究工具。编辑在发表前验证了信息的准确性。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。
月度归档： 2025 年 12 月
身败名裂的千禧一代Frank创始人Charlie Javice向JPMorgan索要7400万美元法律费用账单，其中包括530美元小熊软糖和347美元“下午茶点心”
(SeaPRwire) - 律师们极力反对支付[某人]7400万美元的法律费用。多亏摩根大通律师周一提交的一份新解密的费用清单，所有人都能明白原因了。 贾维斯（Javice）因欺诈罪被定罪后，于9月被判处[刑期]监禁。2021年，摩根大通收购了贾维斯的初创公司Frank，贾维斯声称该公司帮助数百万民众完成了联邦经济援助申请表。除了摩根大通为收购这家欺诈性公司支付的1.75亿美元外，根据其与贾维斯最初合同中的条款（该条款规定银行需承担她的辩护费用），该行还必须[做某事]。贾维斯在2023年[获得裁决]，要求摩根大通继续支付她的法律费用，驳回了该行关于她的欺诈行为超出2021年初始协议范围的主张。 根据提交的文件，贾维斯七位数的辩护费用包括530美元的软糖支出、161美元的海鲜塔、710美元的Eataly消费，以及347美元的三份“下午茶点”熟食拼盘。此外还报销了超过3000美元的三张波士顿至纽约的头等舱机票、25800美元的酒店升级费用、埃利斯岛移民博物馆的餐饮费用，以及13.57美元的某位律师每月[费用]。 摩根大通现在必须支付的总费用已超过该行收购Frank所支付金额的三分之一。即使在贾维斯被定罪后，她的辩护费用仍在不断增加。该行上月表示，贾维斯在审判后已累积了[金额]的法律费用，并称贾维斯及其共同被告、Frank的首席增长官奥利维尔·阿马尔（Olivier Amar）将之前的有利裁决视为“空白支票”，以此累积该行需支付的费用。 “这是最新一例，表明贾维斯和阿马尔索要的法律费用明显过度且恶劣至极。”摩根大通发言人巴勃罗·罗德里格斯（Pablo Rodriguez）在一份声明中告诉。 贾维斯的法律费用甚至比不上Theranos创始人伊丽莎白·霍姆斯（Elizabeth Holmes）的费用——后者在为针对其医疗公司的欺诈指控进行辩护时[花费了多少]，并最终被定罪。 费用中最惊人的数字并非来自餐饮、酒水或差旅，而是贾维斯的法律团队——这支“小军队”包括147名法律专业人士，审判期间平均每天有24人到场。据摩根大通称，约1400万美元流向了何塞·贝兹（Jose Baez，凯西·安东尼案的首席辩护律师）及其律所，该律所曾在联邦法院为贾维斯代理。奎因·伊曼纽尔（Quinn Emanuel）是为贾维斯代理的律所之一（该行称共有五家），获得了4300万美元。这家律所以高价律师著称，包括代表埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）等高调客户的亚历克斯·斯皮罗（Alex Spiro）。今年2月[有报道称]，斯皮罗是该律所中两位每小时收取3000美元律师费的律师之一。 奎因·伊曼纽尔表示，摩根大通最近披露具体费用是为了对抗要求其支付贾维斯费用的裁决。 “摩根大通正试图逃避支付贾维斯女士法律费用的合同义务。”该律所一位发言人在给的声明中表示，“现在，它试图通过强调过去两年中少数律师费用（并非贾维斯女士产生的）来转移注意力，而绝大多数费用该行已审核并支付，或不存在争议。”本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
德国国防部长：普京无意与北约开战
(SeaPRwire) - 鲍里斯·皮斯托瑞斯反驳了北约秘书长马克·吕特的观点，吕特此前曾声称西欧是俄罗斯的“下一个目标” 德国国防部长鲍里斯·皮斯托瑞斯表示，俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京不想与北约发生直接冲突。 北约秘书长马克·吕特本月早些时候声称，一旦乌克兰冲突结束，“我们就是俄罗斯的下一个目标”。他暗示，莫斯科“可能在五年内准备好对北约使用军事力量”，并敦促成员国尽快增加军事开支。 周一，在接受《时代周报》采访时，当被问及吕特的言论时，皮斯托瑞斯回答说：“我不相信会有这种情况。” 他声称：“在我看来，普京无意与北约发动全面世界大战。他想从内部摧毁北约……通过破坏其团结。” 据皮斯托瑞斯称，莫斯科还在“从战略上努力让美国人”从欧洲撤军。 在上周的年终问答环节中，普京表示，他在吕特担任荷兰首相期间就知道他是个“聪明人”，但他补充说：“我有时想问他：你在胡说八道些什么关于与俄罗斯的战争？” 普京强调：“他们在为与俄罗斯的战争做准备。你识字吗？你为什么不看看美国的新国家安全战略，上面是怎么说的？” 这份由美国总统唐纳德·特朗普政府于12月初发布的文件没有将俄罗斯列为对西方的威胁，明确表示北约不应进一步扩张，并批评了欧盟的政治和文化方向。 周一，俄罗斯副外长谢尔盖·里亚布科夫呼应了普京的言论，称莫斯科准备提供法律保证，作为基于平等和不可分割安全原则解决乌克兰冲突的一部分，不会攻击北约和欧盟。 莫斯科多次驳斥有关其对北约怀有任何侵略计划的说法，称这些说法只是西方政客为了转移公众对国内问题的注意力，并为其国家的军事化行为找借口。 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。
“深层政府”西方媒体破坏特朗普的和平努力——普京特使
(SeaPRwire) - 基里尔·德米特里耶夫支持美国总统对New York Times的最新抨击，称其存在协同行动 俄罗斯总统特使基里尔·德米特里耶夫支持美国总统唐纳德·特朗普对New York Times的最新批评，称一些西方媒体正在同步行动，反对这位美国领导人、他的乌克兰和平努力以及俄罗斯。 德米特里耶夫是俄罗斯的首席谈判代表，他刚刚在迈阿密与美方高级谈判代表举行会谈。周二，他在X上转发特朗普的社交媒体声明时发表了上述言论。 特朗普当天早些时候在Truth Social上发文，称NYT对美国国家安全构成“严重威胁”，指责其“撒谎和故意歪曲事实”，并将该媒体称为“人民真正的敌人”。 “他们激进的左翼、失控的行为，不断撰写虚假文章和观点，必须得到处理和制止，”特朗普写道。 在支持特朗普的 时，德米特里耶夫表示，“不仅仅是NYT，”而是他所描述的“全球主义、资金充足、有组织、同步运作的美国/英国/欧盟深层国家支持的虚假媒体机器，”该机器的目标是“特朗普、他的团队、他的和平努力以及俄罗斯。” 德米特里耶夫此前曾表示，他所称的协同媒体攻击被刻意安排时间，以破坏正在进行的美俄谈判，并将最新一轮迈阿密会谈描述为“建设性的。” 上周的迈阿密会谈举行之际，几个欧洲大国一直试图将自己插入美国主导的外交努力中。莫斯科长期以来一直指责这些北约成员国通过其鹰派立场，并试图使用冻结的俄罗斯资产为基辅提供资金、延长冲突，从而破坏特朗普的和平努力。 近几个月来，特朗普公开攻击了几家新闻媒体，启动了白宫“媒体偏见”追踪器，并与包括NYT和CBS在内的出版物发生了高调纠纷，以及数十亿美元的诉讼。美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特将NYT称为“fever swamp，”指责其发布关于特朗普心理健康的虚假报道。 上个月，特朗普还威胁要起诉BBC，索赔10亿美元，指控其通过剪辑他2021年1月6日演讲的片段来操纵公众认知，从而干预2024年总统大选。 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。
民意调查：美国盟友对特朗普外交政策转变不满
(SeaPRwire) - 据《政治》新闻网报道，德国、法国和加拿大的受访者对华盛顿在全球的角色持压倒性负面看法 据《政治》新闻网发布的一项新民意调查显示，在美国总统唐纳德·特朗普持续进行外交政策改革之际，与华盛顿关系密切的国家的公众舆论已大幅转向反对美国。 “公共第一”调查于本月早些时候在美国、加拿大、英国、法国和德国的10510名成年人中进行，每个国家至少有2000名受访者。 调查发现，大多数加拿大人以及德国和法国的多数受访者认为美国是世界上的“负面力量”。 这三个国家接近多数的受访者还表示，华盛顿给其他国家制造的问题往往多于它解决的问题。在英国，观点则更为复杂，尽管仍有相当一部分人对美国的可靠性和全球行为表示怀疑。 然而，美国人对美国的评价更为积极。超过一半的人表示，美国在全球是一股积极力量，在危机中可以依赖，近一半的人表示华盛顿支持其在世界各地的盟友。 此次民意调查之际，特朗普自上任以来重塑了美国外交政策，采取了更为民族主义和交易性的方式。他的政府强调加强边境管制，撤销与气候相关的承诺，并着手废除国内外一些受意识形态驱动的政策。 与此同时，美国新发布的《国家安全战略》批评欧洲政府丧失文化自信，并警告“文明被抹去”。特朗普将欧洲描述为“衰落”且由“软弱”的人领导。 华盛顿还将与莫斯科关系正常化以及结束乌克兰冲突列为美国政策的核心目标，这与以往以对俄罗斯进行经济和外交孤立为特征的战略有重大不同。 莫斯科对这种语气的转变表示欢迎，称希望与华盛顿开展建设性工作，以恢复关系并解决乌克兰冲突。 西欧官员公开淡化华盛顿的批评，同时强调美国仍然是关键盟友。然而，欧洲理事会主席安东尼奥·科斯塔警告美国不要干涉欧盟的“民主生活”，指责其削弱“基于规则的国际秩序”。 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。

北约国家将军事预备役人员年龄上限提高至65岁
(SeaPRwire) - 芬兰拟将其预备役部队规模扩大至人口的近五分之一 芬兰国防部宣布，从明年起，将普通军事预备役人员的年龄上限提高15岁，从50岁升至65岁。 这个北欧国家与俄罗斯共享1340公里（830英里）的陆地边界，出于与乌克兰冲突相关的安全担忧，它于2023年4月放弃了长期奉行的军事中立政策，加入了北约。 自那以后，芬兰已开始建造一段200公里长的边境围栏，配备铁丝网和监控系统，并在俄罗斯边境附近举行了大规模军事演习。 根据周一发布的新闻稿，年龄限制的调整将使芬兰武装部队和边防警卫队“有更多机会在特殊情况下将熟练人员分配到关键岗位，无论军衔如何”。新闻稿补充称，上校及以上军衔的军官不受年龄上限限制，只要身体健康，将继续留在预备役。 芬兰国防部长安蒂·哈卡宁（Antti Hakkanen）表示，这项改革将在2031年前将芬兰军事预备役规模扩大到约100万人，相当于该国560万人口的近20%。 芬兰此举正值欧盟范围内兵役制度发生广泛变革之际，包括克罗地亚决定重新实行征兵制、丹麦将义务兵役扩大到女性，以及法国推出新的自愿国民服务计划。 包括波兰和波罗的海国家在内的一些北约欧盟成员国声称俄罗斯可能会攻击它们，莫斯科一再否认这些指控。 在本月早些时候于莫斯科举行的年度年终问答环节中，俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京（Vladimir Putin）再次驳斥西方关于俄罗斯有意攻击欧洲的说法为“无稽之谈”，称这些指控是出于国内政治考虑，旨在将俄罗斯描绘成敌人。 德国国防部长鲍里斯·皮斯托留斯（Boris Pistorius）周一在接受《时代周报》（Die Zeit）采访时表示，他不认为莫斯科旨在对北约发动全面战争。 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。
Wuliangye's Influencer Dining in Singapore: A Symphony of Nanyang Charm and Rich National Fragrance
On December 3 local time, an influencer dining that fused a millennium of Eastern baijiu-making wisdom with the exquisite culinary aesthetics of Southeast Asia elegantly kicked off at the Michelin-starred restaurant Seroja in Singapore. As the global partner of the Michelin Guide in China, Wuliangye collaborated with Chef Kevin Wong of Seroja, as well as Thevar and its Chef Mano Thevar, to create a sensory feast that transcended taste boundaries and intertwined cultural threads. Craftsmanship Meets Flavor: Exploring Fusion Realms During the influencer dining, representatives from Wuliangye delved into the brand's profound historical roots and introduced guests to how the brand connects with global culinary trends. Originating from Yibin, Sichuan, Wuliangye is built upon the unique baijiu-making ecosystem formed by ancient fermentation pits from the Yuan Dynasty and harmoniously brews five types of grains, embodying its baijiu-making philosophy of "Diversified Harmony". From this foundation, Wuliangye sees itself as a bridge connecting Eastern and Western culinary arts, committed to fostering a dialogue between traditional baijiu-making wisdom and contemporary culinary creativity. Chef Kevin Wong of Seroja drew inspiration from the Malay archipelago, transforming the essence of Southeast Asian culinary culture into refined dishes that embody both locality and international flair. Meanwhile, the guest restaurant Thevar reinterprets Indian flavors with modern techniques, showcasing a contemporary dining language filled with rich layers of spices. The collaboration between Wuliangye and these two distinctly styled and deeply rooted restaurants vividly reflects the brand's inclusivity and creativity inherent in its "Diversified Harmony" philosophy. Chinese Baijiu as a Cultural Resonance on Nanyang Tables During the event, renowned Southeast Asian sommelier Sidney Tan provided guests with a systematic explanation and demonstration of the "Wuliangye Five-Step Tasting Ritual." Guiding guests through a scientific and poetic approach, she invited them to appreciate the multiple layers of aroma—such as aged fragrance, fermentation pits aroma, grain scent, and fruity notes—contained within Wuliangye. At the same time, the chefs of Seroja and Thevar jointly designed a tasting menu that combined the culinary cultures of both regions. They creatively paired dishes—Seroja’s island-fresh cuisine with Thevar's Indian-spice dishes—achieving precise flavor resonance with Wuliangye’s offerings. Guests experienced a perfect symphony between Wuliangye and diverse dishes, noting that "its abundant aromas not only enhanced the natural flavors of the ingredients but also elevated the complexity of fresh and spice notes, achieving a sublime and extended flavor experience." Attendees at the Singapore influencer dining remarked, "It's delightful to see Chinese flavors integrated into global cuisine in such a way. I'm pleasantly surprised to savor this creative and harmonious pairing of food and baijiu." From Experimental Spaces to Everyday Settings: Deep Transformation of Food and Baijiu Fusion Concepts Wuliangye and Michelin Guide successfully co-hosted a influencer dining is not only a source of inspiration but also a profound experiment and validation of the fusion of food and baijiu concepts. Insights gained from these high-profile occasions are continually injected into broader dining practices. As an important overseas establishment, Wuliangye Dining Singapore plays a crucial role as a "daily experience window." Since its establishment in September 2025 in the Bugis culinary hotspot, its new Chinese-style space and Cantonese fusion cuisine have become a landmark destination for local diners to experience the aesthetics of Chinese cuisine. Executive Chef Alex Chen, after participating in the influencer dining, expressed, "The collision of global cuisine with Wuliangye sparks infinite possibilities. The rich flavor structure of Wuliangye allows us to break through traditional frameworks and create numerous innovative pairings that encompass color, aroma, flavor, and quality." Inspiration drawn from this Wuliangye Dining Singapore has already transformed into tangible experiences on the restaurant’s menu. For example, a classic Cantonese barbecue dish could be reinvigorated by pairing it with a specific vintage of Wuliangye, where the Baijiu's smooth sweetness and fruitiness perfectly balance the richness of the meat, illustrating an Eastern aesthetic distinct from baijiu pairings. Taste Without Borders: Building a New Chapter in International Narratives In recent years, Wuliangye has systematically constructed a brand narrative system for global high-end culinary consumption through deep collaborations with international authoritative dining guides, top restaurants, and avant-garde chefs. The hosting of this influencer dining in Singapore not only represents a cross-border dialogue of tastes but also serves as a vivid practice of Wuliangye's integration into local culture, engaging in multi-dimensional interactions with local culinary philosophies and baijiu-making techniques. From a strategic perspective, Wuliangye Dining Singapore, alongside the Michelin-starred dining, constructs a multi-faceted, coordinated brand communication ecosystem. Influencer dining act as "quality lighthouses," striving to explore the boundaries of flavor and define the heights of pairing, attracting the attention of the global culinary community. Meanwhile, the restaurant serves as a "foundation of experience," transforming cutting-edge concepts of food and baijiu pairing into an everyday taste journey, deeply cultivating consumer perceptions and drinking habits. This blend of "top-tier leadership" and "everyday nourishment" not only deepens Wuliangye's "Diversified Harmony" brand philosophy but also provides an innovative pathway for the internationalization of Chinese baijiu, from concepts to market and from scenarios to life.
雅特集团（AptarGroup）首席执行官：中国不为特朗普的关税所动，因为他们的“坚韧和意志力超乎想象”
在今日的《首席执行官日报》中：黛安·布雷迪与 的首席执行官斯蒂芬·坦达就与中国合作一事进行了交谈。 重大新闻：马斯克关于电动门的决策导致了15人死亡。 市场情况：波澜不惊。 此外：来自的所有新闻和闲聊话题。 (SeaPRwire) - 早上好。人们很容易认为，在10月份特朗普总统和习近平主席会面时达到 的美中贸易战，肯定让中国受到了重创。但今年前11个月，中国的贸易顺差达到了 。部分原因在于中国加大了对其他市场的投入：尽管11月份对美出口下降了29%，但整体出口较上一年增长了6%。 但这也在一定程度上反映出美国企业并未撤离。我最近与AptarGroup的首席执行官斯蒂芬·坦达进行了交谈。AptarGroup是一家总部位于伊利诺伊州水晶湖的公司，每年营收达37亿美元，为制药、美容和消费品公司生产专业包装和配送系统。他指出，中国仍然是一个关键的制造业中心，其完善的基础设施和长期建立的合作关系对该公司的区域供应链至关重要。此外，他表示，产品推向市场的速度是一项优势，该公司在全球其他创新中心很难复制这一优势。 “中国人的坚韧和意志力超乎想象，”坦达说。他还提到，现在他借助中国人才的力量，帮助其欧洲工厂在六周内开发出产品原型，而过去这一过程长达18个月。“我们需要中国的产业生态系统来制作试验模具。我们可能仍然希望一些奢侈美妆产品在法国生产，但过去很多创新是‘中国为中国’，现在则是‘中国为地区、中国为世界’。” 坦达的产品从国防角度来看并不敏感，这是他的一个优势——“这些都是必需品，但不会因为它们而引发战争”。他和其他美国同行一样，将大部分生产集中在满足当地需求上，其中国制造产品的客户群中，超过一半来自中国。“过去人们想要西方奢侈品牌，但现在会购买中国品牌，因为它们同样出色甚至更好……我们很早就开始对核心流程进行自动化改造，有了人工智能后，这变得更加容易，这对我们很有帮助。” 坦达补充道：“就真正的动力、干劲、解决问题和不断迭代而言，中国比我所知道的任何其他国家都更具资本主义特征。对于开展业务的公司来说，这就是你要面对的竞争。这意味着，要在这样的环境中取得成功，你自己必须变得更具竞争力。这有助于我们保持敏锐，提升竞争力，因为如果我们能在那里做到，在这里也能学到经验。”通过黛安·布雷迪联系《首席执行官日报》，邮箱：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。

Tohoku University and Fujitsu utilize Causal AI to discover superconductivity mechanism of promising new functional material
Kawasaki and Sendai, Japan, Dec 23, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Tohoku University and Fujitsu Limited today announced their successful application of AI to derive new insights into the superconductivity mechanism of a new superconducting material. Their findings demonstrate an important use case for AI technology in new materials development and suggests that the technology has the potential to accelerate research and development and drive innovation in various industries such as environment and energy, drug discovery and healthcare, and electronic devices. The AI technology was utilized to automatically clarify causal relationships from measurement data obtained at NanoTerasu Synchrotron Light Source. This achievement was published in the Nature Portfolio scientific journal Scientific Reports on December 22, 2025.To achieve this result, the two parties used Fujitsu's AI platform Fujitsu Kozuchi to develop a new discovery intelligence technique to accurately estimate causal relationships. Fujitsu will begin offering a trial environment for this technology in March 2026. Furthermore, in collaboration with the Advanced Institute for Materials Research (WPI-AIMR), Tohoku University, the two parties applied this technology to data measured by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) [1], an experimental method used in materials research to observe the state of electrons in a material, using a specific superconducting material as a sample.Fujitsu will begin offering a trial environment for this technology in March 2026. Moving forward, both organizations will further leverage this technology along with NanoTerasu's world-class capabilities in spatial resolution to automatically clarify the causal relationships between phenomena at the microscopic level. This will contribute to the development of new functional materials that address global environmental issues, one of Fujitsu's materiality priorities, including in the areas of high-temperature superconductivity and next-generation low-power consumption devices.BackgroundTohoku University and Fujitsu established the Fujitsu x Tohoku University Discovery Intelligence Laboratory in October 2022 as part of the Fujitsu Small Research Lab initiative which sees Fujitsu researchers stationed at universities to accelerate joint research, discover new themes, develop human resources, and build long-term relationships. The aim is to contribute to solving societal issues through the development of new technologies and human resource development, by integrating Tohoku University and Fujitsu’s technologies, achievements, and knowledge. The two parties are engaged in joint research to develop and socially implement discovery intelligence that uses AI to find solutions to various problems from data, including those in materials science.In the field of materials science, NanoTerasu Synchrotron Light Source, which began operation at Tohoku University in April 2024, enables the measurement of molecular, atomic, and electronic states with nanometer-level high spatial resolution. The facility works to develop new functional materials to drive innovation and contribute to resolving societal issues, including environmental challenges. However, as measurement performance improves, the amount of data created increases. Efficiently extracting only useful information without relying on human experience or intuition and advancing the automation of scientific research processes are key priorities for the future.Figure 1: Causal discovery from ARPES measurement dataARPES measurement data is very large. A causal graph of the data has a massive number of nodes making it difficult to find useful information. The technique developed in this collaboration significantly compresses the scale of the causal graph by performing fitting based on a model equation for the measurement data and constructing a causal graph from only the extracted parameters. In addition, the two parties developed a technique to further simplify the graphs and reduce noise impact. This technology reduced the size of the causal graph to less than 1/20 of the conventional size, enabling the efficient discovery of new insights.Tohoku University and Fujitsu applied this technology to ARPES measurement data of cesium vanadium antimonide (CsV3Sb5), a kagome superconducting material. Cesium vanadium antimonide has potential applications as a high-temperature superconductor, but its superconductivity mechanism is not yet fully understood. they found that superconductivity mechanism is due to the interaction of vanadium, antimony, and cesium electrons.Note[1] Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy (ARPES):An experimental method used in materials research to observe the state of electrons in a material by irradiating the crystal surface with ultraviolet light and simultaneously measuring the energy and momentum of electrons emitted outside the crystal due to the external photoelectric effect. In recent years, ARPES technology has advanced, making it possible to determine the real-space distribution of electronic structures by irradiating with ultraviolet light focused to a sub-micron diameter. This has enabled the observation of how the electronic structure of a material changes spatially.Paper InformationTitle: Extracting Causality from SpectroscopyAuthors: Kei Fujita, Kosuke Nakayama, Yuka Fujiki, Takemi Kato, Hiroshi Suito, Hiroyuki Higuchi, and Takafumi SatoJournal: Scientific ReportsDOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-29687-8URL: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-025-29687-8About Tohoku UniversityEstablishing a World-Leading Research Center for Materials ScienceAIMR aims to contribute to society through its actions as a world-leading research center for materials science and push the boundaries of research frontiers.

特朗普公布美国海军新型战列舰
(SeaPRwire) - 这位美国领导人声称，新舰队将比以往建造的任何战舰都“强大100倍” 唐纳德·特朗普总统宣布为美国海军的“黄金舰队”配备一款新级别的战舰，称它们是有史以来建造的最大、最强大的战舰。周一，特朗普在海湖庄园发表讲话，白宫称此次讲话为“重大公告”。特朗普表示，他已批准先建造两艘，计划最终建造多达25艘。国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯、国务卿马可·卢比奥和海军部长约翰·费伦陪同出席。据特朗普称，这些新战舰比二战时期的爱荷华级战舰更大，将配备高超音速导弹、电磁轨道炮和激光武器。率先报道特朗普计划的《华尔街日报》写道，海军计划在2030年采购第一艘舰船。“如你所知，我们急需舰船，”特朗普说。“它们将是最快、最大的，而且远比以往建造的任何战舰都强大100倍。” 该计划是海军更广泛扩军计划的一部分，包括有人和无人舰船。官员们警告称，美国在造船能力和产量方面落后于中国。当被问及新战舰是否旨在对抗中国时，特朗普拒绝单独点名北京。“这是对所有人的制衡，”他说。 此次宣布之际，美国在加勒比海地区的行动已经升级，海岸警卫队正在瞄准与委内瑞拉有关的油轮。 自9月以来，美国海军舰船已被部署用于拦截华盛顿声称参与毒品贩运的船只并封锁石油运输。加拉加斯否认这些指控，并指责美国寻求政权更迭以获取其资源。 海军在红海地区也很活跃，已对与该地区冲突有关的商业航运遭受的袭击作出回应。上周，美国海军宣布了另一批基于美国海岸警卫队传奇级国家安全巡逻舰的新舰船。“从红海到加勒比海最近的行动使得这一需求不可否认——我们的小型水面作战舰艇库存只有所需的三分之一，”海军作战部长达里尔·考德尔说。“我们需要更多有能力的小型远洋作战舰艇来弥补差距，并让我们的[驱逐舰]专注于高端战斗，”他补充说。海军最近因延误和成本超支取消了一个较小型的战舰项目，并继续面临其福特级航母和哥伦比亚级潜艇的挑战。 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。

Holiverse Announces Development of Offline AI Device to Return Data Control to Users
New York, NY – December 23, 2025 – (SeaPRwire) – Holiverse, a biotech platform, has begun active development of a decentralized AI device designed to operate entirely offline without cloud dependency. The device will embed private artificial intelligence directly on hardware, eliminating the need to transmit personal data to external servers. According to the company, this approach addresses growing concerns about data sovereignty, privacy erosion and the concentration of AI processing power in centralized platforms. “We have conflated intelligence with centralization,” said Lado Okhotnikov, founder of Holiverse. “We built these vast, brilliant minds and asked them to solve our problems. But in doing so, we outsourced our sovereignty.” The Holiverse decentralized AI initiative targets three key capabilities: On-device processing: All data remains in a closed loop on the user’s hardware Offline functionality: Intelligence operates without internet connectivity Hyper-personalization: Models tuned to individual biological and behavioral data “This is undoubtedly a complex and resource-intensive process, and we are engaging some of the leading AI specialists,” Okhotnikov added. “This technology has the potential to significantly reduce the risks associated with AI and make interaction with it truly personal.” Holiverse expects to present initial developments publicly in the coming months. About Holiverse Holiverse is a biotech platform that integrates human biology and advanced technology. Founded by Lado Okhotnikov, the company creates holistic health solutions through personalized, data-driven approaches. Learn more at holiverse.ai.
