content_text: 中評社台北2月22日電（記者 俞敦平）2026年台北電玩展陸資遊戲橫掃大獎，揭示了台灣“去中化”政策的蒼白。當《燕雲十六聲》以寫實武俠重現五代宋初風華，而《原神》、《鳴潮》披著日系動漫外衣輸出中華內核，台灣文創卻深陷政治正確的泥淖。已故散文名家、電機系教授陳之藩筆下的“失根的蘭花”，竟成今日台灣寫照。反觀職棒引進韓援的成功，正是因為台灣保留了中華文化“溫厚包容”的底蘊，給予表演者在韓國僵化階級下未有的尊重。台灣應自信擁抱中華文化的根基，才能真正實踐海洋文化，而非成為漂浮的政治口號。 日前落幕的2026台北國際電玩展，“GAME STAR 遊戲之星”得獎名單引發熱議，由中國大陸研發的《鳴潮》、《崩壞：星穹鐵道》等作包辦了多項核心大獎。與此同時，第三方數據顯示，主打宋代寫實武俠的開放世界大作《燕雲十六聲》，其國際服務營收竟有高達45%來自台灣玩家。這股“紅潮”不僅席捲了年輕世代的手機與錢包，更與台灣官方近年力推“本土意識”與“去中化”的文化政策形成強烈反差，成為檢視台灣文創產業競爭力的最佳稜鏡。 就在台北電玩展的頒獎台上，當來自對岸的開發團隊頻繁接過象徵台灣玩家民意的獎盃時，台下的掌聲中夾雜著一絲尷尬的沈默。這種尷尬源於一種深刻的認知失調：台灣年輕玩家在《燕雲十六聲》的宋代江湖裡，為純正的中式武俠美學買單；同時又在《原神》與《鳴潮》這類披著“日系二次元”外衣的遊戲中，潛移默化地吸收了“璃月”、“今州”所傳遞的中華文化價值觀。大陸遊戲產業已經完美示範了雙軌並進的文化輸出——一邊是用歐美Unreal Engine 5引擎打造極致的寫實武俠，直球對決；另一邊則是靈活運用全球通用的日系畫風，將中華文化的內核包裹其中，讓全球玩家在不知不覺中成為文化的受眾。這種“中學為體，西學為用”的自信，讓他們得以跨越國界，讓台灣乃至全球玩家為其文化買單。 反觀台灣的文化政策，似乎陷入了一種為了“抗中”而“去根”的焦慮。為了符合輔導金的政治正確標準，創作者被迫在劇本裡塞滿轉型正義與悲情歷史，或是模仿西方當前備受爭議的DEI（多元包容）指標，拍攝大量探討性別議題或政治傷痕的電影。就像近期引發爭議的林宅血案題材電影，或是被譏為政治宣傳片的《零日攻擊》，往往因為說教味過重而與觀眾漸行漸遠。“身可離鄉，心不可離根。”這句警語竟成今日台灣的預言。當局試圖切斷中華文化的根系，以為能長出獨立的台灣文化，結果卻造就了一批批在文化上無所適從、最終只能回頭在陸資遊戲裡尋找歸屬感的“失根一代”。 然而，台灣社會並非沒有成功的文化融合案例，職棒啦啦隊的“韓援熱潮”就是一記響亮的耳光。當李多慧、安芝儇等頂級韓援不約而同地選擇跨海來台，她們口中提到的吸引力，除了更合理的薪資，更多的是台灣社會對“人”的尊重與熱情。這種特質，其實源自於中華文化底蘊中濃厚的“人情味”與“敦厚”，它打破了韓國社會中僵化的前後輩階級制度，給予了女性表演者真正的明星光環與舞台。台灣球迷並未因為她們是韓國人而排斥，反而因為她們的專業表現而給予掌聲，這種自信的“拿來主義”，不僅讓台灣職棒票房與聲望雙贏，甚至逼得韓國職棒不得不正視人才外流的危機。 正如陳之藩教授筆下的失根的蘭花，沒有根的文化註定只能是漂浮的口號。每逢選舉，政治人物爭相參拜的媽祖與關公，無一不是中華文化的延伸；台灣人生活中的包容與溫厚，也正是這片土壤長出的果實。面對對岸2035文化強國的挑戰，台灣不應是將頭埋進沙裡的鴕鳥，利用行政手段阻擋《黑神話：悟空》或限制陸片配額；而是應該像職棒擁抱韓援、像陸遊運用日系畫風那樣，大膽承認並運用自身的中華文化基底。唯有找回這個根，台灣才能在海洋文化的滋養下長出自己的大樹，而不是在政治口水中枯萎成一株失根的浮萍。 秦慧珠：若鄭麗君出戰 蔣萬安策略勢必調整 (2026-02-21 00:18:43) 新春做公益兼宣傳 蘇巧慧拉蕭美琴包便當 (2026-02-19 17:43:11) 台北市長蔣萬安祝中評社讀者馬年大吉 (2026-02-17 00:15:44) 中評鏡頭：台北建國花市大紅燈籠迎春 (2026-02-14 09:18:52) 藍營台中市長敲定3月初選 不公布民調日期 (2026-02-13 18:57:23) 10“立委”遭起訴 盧秀燕回應 (2026-02-13 11:10:50) 袁鶴齡：藍路線分歧 黨與地方出現雙軌運作 (2026-02-13 00:18:03) 馮國豪：拆解高市旋風 不是只靠抗中才打贏 (2026-02-13 00:09:44) 高嘉瑜回鍋選台北市議員 拋“四季紅”配票 (2026-02-12 16:32:01) 郭正亮：李四川小心綠糾纏 蘇巧慧有致命傷 (2026-02-12 16:22:15)

content_text: 中評社台北2月22日電（記者 莊亦軒）針對近期“行政院”大動作替台美關稅談判成果宣傳，並由“行政院長”卓榮泰親自接機、將焦點集中在“行政院副院長”鄭麗君身上，鄭可能成為民進黨台北市長參選人。中國國民黨台北市議員曾獻瑩接受中評社專訪時直言，相關操作“讓人感覺怪怪的”，時機與力道都耐人尋味。 曾獻瑩也提到，去年民進黨推動的大罷免行動，引發不少民怨，台北市多名藍委經歷相關政治風波後，基層與中間選民累積情緒，年底地方選舉不排除成為部分選民“出氣”的出口，賴清德施政表現的爭議，恐連帶影響綠營地方選情。 曾獻瑩指出，過往副行政首長在政策成果上的曝光度與功勞歸屬，通常相對低調，但此次卻一反常態，將多項談判成果高度集中於鄭麗君身上，甚至由卓榮泰親自出面鋪陳。他質疑，若談判結果真如宣傳般亮眼，自然會獲得肯定，但在目前社會對談判內容仍存疑的情況下，如此急於塑造政績歸屬，很難不讓外界聯想到政治布局。 在台北市長選情部分，曾獻瑩分析，若未來形成鄭麗君對陣現任中國國民黨籍台北市長蔣萬安，蔣的最大優勢仍在於市政成績。他指出，蔣上任以來，多項政策與建設已有具體成果，包括捷運工程多線推進、營養午餐免費、“生生喝鮮乳”政策、都市更新、大巨蛋啟用，以及演唱會經濟等，讓市民“明顯感受到台北在動”。 相較之下，曾獻瑩認為，台北市民對鄭麗君的市政印象相對薄弱，較具辨識度的僅剩台美關稅談判，但該議題在社會上的評價仍高度分歧，正負面解讀並存，未必能轉化為選舉優勢。

content_text: 中評社台北2月22日（記者 張穎齊）針對年底地方選舉，中國國民黨如何強化論述能力，獲得選民支持？中國文化大學廣告系教授鈕則勳接受中評社訪問表示，面對當前政治攻防與論述競逐，國民黨若要補強長期被認為不足的基層論述能力，應思考以“智庫、黨中央、立法院黨團”三位一體的方式，系統性強化對基層的“草根論述”操作。 鈕則勳指出，藍軍過往在政策與“立院”攻防上並非沒有立場，但往往缺乏清楚、持續、能被基層理解與吸收的論述傳遞機制，導致支持者對國民黨“為何這樣做、不為何那樣做”的理解不夠完整，也容易在輿論場上被對手搶占主場。 鈕則勳，生於台北市，鈕祜祿氏，滿族，政治大學政治學博士，曾任中國文化大學廣告系教授兼系主任。學術專長為政治公關、政府公關、競選廣告等項目，過去曾出版多本公關、廣告與人際溝通專書。 鈕則勳向中評社說，國民黨可由黨中央、智庫與“立院”黨團分工協調，規劃草根論述的責任區塊，透過下鄉宣講、論壇座談等方式，直接向基層說明藍軍在重大議題上的立場與思考脈絡。他強調，草根論述不只是為了反擊對手，更是讓支持者理解政策邏輯與政治判斷的必要工程。 在議題設定上，鈕則勳建議，草根宣講可聚焦三大主軸，包括對等關稅的潛在風險與產業衝擊、為何需要強化兩岸互動以降低風險，以及貼近民生的經濟與生活議題。透過清楚論述，讓基層選民理解國民黨在“立法院”或政策態度上“有所為、有所不為”的原因。

content_text: 中評社香港2月22日電／廈門大學台灣研究院經濟研究所所長暨兩岸關係和平發展協同創新中心經濟一體化平台副教授、廈門大學台灣研究中心研究員王勇在中評智庫基金會主辦的《中國評論》月刊第336期發表專文《兩岸數字經濟與實體經濟融合的內涵和推進路徑》，作者認為：數字經濟是整個經濟產出單獨或主要來自數字技術且業務模式是基於數字化的產品和服務的部分。數字經濟與實體經濟融合是數字經濟和製造業、服務業、農業等產業的全方位融合，推動實體經濟沿著數字化、網絡化、智能化方向依次遞進。目前，大陸推進中國式現代化和經濟高質量發展將為推動兩岸開展新形勢下“數實融合”創造出更多發展空間和機遇。與此同時，大陸數字經濟發展呈現強勁韌性使兩岸“數實融合”擁有更好的合作利基。大陸向創新驅動型經濟增長方式轉換將為兩岸“數實融合”發展挖掘出更多合作潛力。大陸經濟發展深度嵌入全球產業鏈和供應鏈體系將進一步夯實兩岸“數實融合”的“穩鏈性”。基於此，結合對近期推動兩岸“數實融合”發展的進展和存在的主要問題，提出從強化兩岸高端電子裝備製造業領域的“數實融合”、積極推進兩岸產業數字化轉型標準共通等路徑推動新形勢下兩岸數字經濟與實體經濟實現深度融合發展。文章內容如下： 2022年10月，習近平總書記在黨的二十大報告中明確指出：“加快發展數字經濟，促進數字經濟和實體經濟深度融合，打造具有國際競爭力的數字產業集群。”習近平總書記進一步強調，要把握數字化、網絡化、智能化方向，推動製造業、服務業、農業等產業數字化，利用互聯網新技術對傳統產業進行全方位、全鏈條的改造，提高全要素生產率，發揮數字技術對經濟發展的放大、疊加、倍增作用①。基於此，發展數字經濟有助於推進製造業、服務業和農業的智能化改造與數字化轉型。由此，數字經濟已成為實體經濟未來發展的核心動力，正逐漸成為新形勢下大陸經濟高質量發展和推進中國式現代化的新引擎。

content_text: 中評社北京2月21日電／斯洛伐克總理菲佐21日在社交媒體上發文說，如果烏克蘭方面不能在23日前恢復向斯洛伐克輸送石油，他將要求斯洛伐克企業停止為烏克蘭提供緊急電力。 新華社報導，菲佐還指責烏克蘭總統澤連斯基“惡意對待斯洛伐克”，因為斯洛伐克“不支持戰爭”。“他（澤連斯基）先是停止向斯洛伐克輸送天然氣，每年給我們造成5億歐元的損失。現在他又停止向斯洛伐克輸送石油，這給我們造成了更多的損失和困難。” 斯洛伐克媒體報導稱，菲佐的這一表態是對烏克蘭的“最後通牒”。 經“友誼”管道烏克蘭段向歐洲輸送的俄羅斯石油自1月27日起暫停。匈牙利和斯洛伐克對此表示不滿，並將責任歸咎於烏克蘭方面。2月15日，菲佐指責烏克蘭拖延重啟管道，意在向匈牙利施壓，要求其放棄反對烏克蘭加入歐盟。 “友誼”輸油管道是俄羅斯向中東歐輸送原油的大型管網系統，起點位於俄羅斯西南部薩馬拉州，北線經白俄羅斯通往波蘭和德國，南線經烏克蘭通往捷克、斯洛伐克和匈牙利。

content_text: 滬港聯合控股有限公司董事長，港區全國人大代表、立法會議員姚祖輝在今年全國兩會前夕接受中評社記者專訪（中評社 郭至君攝） 中評社香港2月22日電（記者 郭至君）今年全國兩會前夕，滬港聯合控股有限公司董事長，港區全國人大代表、上海市工商聯兼職副主席、立法會議員姚祖輝在香港接受了中評社記者的專訪，就香港如何多方面對接“十五五”規劃帶來的機遇、粵港澳大灣區城市協作、香港人工智慧發展、將香港打造成為國際教育樞紐等話題談了自己的見解。專訪全文如下： 中評社記者：祝賀您新當選立法會議員，作為工商界代表，您的履職計劃是怎樣的？ 姚祖輝：今年立法會90名議員中，全國人大代表約有15位。在此背景下，我既代表工程界，也來自中華總商會，但我更希望以一名多年在內地經商、具備國家長遠發展視野的香港工商界人士身份履職，思考並推動香港商界更好融入國家發展大局。“傾心盡力，貢獻工商”不僅是我的競選口號，也是我的工作目標和對工商界的鄭重承諾。我將全力推動香港工商界把握國家戰略機遇，圍繞以下重點開展工作。 首先，推動傳統的老牌子企業的升級。面對全球經濟格局的深刻變化，以及內地在製造、市場平台、物流體系等多個領域的科技領先優勢，香港企業如何實現轉型升級、加快創新步伐，是一個重大課題。 其次，吸引新興企業落戶香港。用好香港在國際交往、市場推廣、海運網路等方面的優勢，吸引更多外資和央企來港設立境外總部，吸引高科技企業在港落戶，服務香港所需；同時協助內地頭部企業和科技公司通過香港走向世界，將國家最新科技成果推廣至全球市場，打造香港成為企業“出海”的首選基地。內地的美團外賣已經在香港推出新品牌“keeta”，主要面向與內地市場不同的客戶群體，定位具國際化特色。其團隊不僅包括科技研發人員，也涵蓋市場推廣等專業人才，這正是“引進來”和“走出去”的具體實踐。 “十五五”規劃綱要將在下月發佈具體內容，特區政府也將首次制定自身的五年規劃。我將推動香港主動對接“十五五”規劃，支持企業出海，深化大灣區城市合作，加快北部都會區建設，致力為香港開拓新的經濟增長點並提出相關建議。 在金融方面，我希望引入更多資金支援香港公司及實體經濟發展，首先從深化香港與內地金融市場的互聯互通機制入手，進一步豐富人民幣產品和服務，提升港股對耐心資本的吸引力，推動香港國際金融中心地位的提升。此外，“北部都會區”是香港未來經濟發展的關鍵引擎。我將推動北部都會區的生地儘快轉化為成熟地，並與深圳科創區深度對接，爭取將北部都會區納入國家“十五五”重大合作平台，落實我在“政產學研”跨界合作方面的政策主張。

content_text: 中評社快評/中時新聞網報導，2025年台灣經濟成長率高達8.63%，創下15年來紀錄，台股也在今年衝上3萬點歷史高位。然而，這耀眼的數據背後，是嚴峻的“K型發展”與分配正義問題：約七成勞工薪資低於平均，僅12%就業人口撐起出口榮景，多數民眾無法分享經濟果實，形成了高達八成人“體感貧窮”的畸形現象。 此種結構性失衡根源於台灣經濟過度依賴半導體等少數科技產業。AI熱潮雖推升出口與金融業薪資，卻讓傳統產業與基層勞工陷入相對困境。更令人憂心的是，在美國“對等關稅”與強迫產業移轉的壓力下，台積電等核心產業正面臨系統性外移風險。當高階人才與技術積累開始跨洋遷徙，台灣不僅流失當前就業機會，更掏空未來創新根基。 面對此困局，台灣當局卻以“脫中入北”的意識形態掛帥，對內產業救助失衡，對外以妥協換取空洞政治表態，任由經濟自主性流失。歷史證明，台灣經濟黃金期無不與兩岸關係緩和同步。唯有摒棄政治干擾，務實推進兩岸經貿合作，融入區域經濟整合，才能突破“小島思維”局限，扭轉產業外移與貧富懸殊的惡性循環，為全民創造真正可共享的繁榮。

content_text: 丙午馬年除夕，中國國民黨主席鄭麗文與法鼓山方丈果暉法師等一眾賢達、信眾齊聚，共執鐘槌，撞響那口鐫刻著《法華經》與《大悲咒》的青銅梵鐘。（圖／翻攝自國民黨臉書） 中評社香港2月22日電／題：法鼓聲聲 作者 楊流昌 丙午馬年除夕，細雨浸潤著台灣新北市金山的群山，法鼓山世界佛教教育園區的法華鐘樓前，香火輕繞，梵音低回。中國國民黨主席鄭麗文與法鼓山方丈果暉法師等一眾賢達、信眾齊聚，共執鐘槌，撞響那口鐫刻著《法華經》與《大悲咒》的青銅梵鐘，108響鐘聲穿透煙雨，回蕩在山海之間，既是辭舊迎新的祈願，也是法鼓山人文精神向世界的溫柔傳揚。這聲聲法鼓，不只是宗教儀軌的迴響，更是“四環觀念”與“心五四運動”的生動吟唱，撫慰著塵世的喧囂，指引著心靈的歸途。 法鼓山之名，取自《法華經》“惟願天人尊，轉無上法輪，擊於大法鼓，而吹大法螺，普及大法雨，度無量眾生。我等咸歸請，當演深遠音。”意為以佛法為鼓，喚醒眾生迷夢，淨化世間塵俗。 聖嚴法師當年創立法鼓山，懷著“佛法這麼好，知道的人這麼少，誤解的人這麼多”的赤誠，提出“提升人的品質，建設人間淨土”的理念，而“四環觀念”便是這理念的根基，如四股清泉，滋養著每一個追尋安寧的心靈。所謂“四環”，以“心靈環保”為核心，輻射至生活環保、禮儀環保與自然環保，由內而外，由己及人，勾勒出人與自然、人與社會、人與自我和諧共生的完整圖景。 當日的撞鐘現場，細雨如絲，浸潤著山間的一草一木，恰是自然環保的生動注腳－－法鼓山的園區依山而建，秉持著“融入原生景觀”的原則，屋頂的紅銅天溝收集雨水，原生草木得以妥善留存，每一寸土地都訴說著“知福惜福、感恩大地”的敬畏之心。鄭麗文與信眾一同肅立，在鐘聲間隙，目光所及皆是素朴和諧的景致，這便是法鼓山所宣導的自然環保：不刻意雕琢，不肆意索取，承認人是自然的一部分，唯有珍惜資源、尊重萬物，方能實現永續共生。而這份對自然的敬畏，終究源於心靈的淨化，正如“心靈環保”所強調的，環境污染不離人為，人為不離人心，唯有守護好自己的本心，不被貪婪、浮躁所裹挾，以慈悲心對待眾生，以智慧心處理世事，才能從根源上守護好我們賴以生存的家園。 鐘聲繼續回蕩，每一聲都像是在叩問人心，也在詮釋生活環保與禮儀環保的真諦。生活環保宣導“需要的不多，想要的太多”，勸誡人們在衣、食、住、行中養成少欲知足、勤勞簡朴的習慣，不浪費、不奢靡，在平凡生活中體悟富足的真諦；禮儀環保則強調由心而生的恭敬，以心儀、口儀、身儀促進人我和諧，讓善意與尊重成為人際交往的底色。 當日的活動中，無論是僧眾的莊嚴禮佛，還是鄭麗文與法師的平和交談，亦或是信眾之間的輕聲問候，都透著禮儀環保的溫潤；而現場簡約而莊重的佈置，沒有鋪張浪費，唯有真心的祈願，正是生活環保的生動實踐。這四環相輔相成，心靈環保為核，生活、禮儀、自然環保為翼，共同構築起法鼓山“人間淨土”的堅實根基，也為喧囂的現代社會，提供了一劑安頓身心的良方。 108響鐘聲，象徵著破除過去、現在、未來的108種煩惱，而這煩惱的消解，離不開“心五四運動”的指引－－這是法鼓山為二十一世紀提出的生活主張，是“四環觀念”的具體落實，是人間化、人性化、生活化的佛法智慧，沒有晦澀的宗教術語，卻能直擊人心最柔軟的角落。鄭麗文在撞鐘時，手握的紅繩數次微動，不論世人如何解讀，這份與鐘聲、與願力的共鳴，恰是“心五四”精神的微妙體現：在那一刻，所有的身份標籤都悄然淡去，唯有一顆虔誠的心，在鐘聲中尋求安心、安身、安家、安業的力量。 “心五四運動”的智慧，藏在“四安”“四要”“四它”“四感”“四福”的箴言裡，是可觸可感的生活準則。 “四安”教我們在生活中少欲知足，在勤勞中安身立命，在相愛中守護家庭，在精進中成就事業；“四要”提醒我們分清欲望與需求，不被貪婪裹挾，守住本心的清淨；“四它”教會我們以坦然之心面對困境，以智慧之力處理難題，以豁達之心放下得失；“四感”讓我們懂得感恩所有因緣，感謝奉獻的機會，以慈悲感化自己，以善行感動他人；“四福”則指引我們知福、惜福、培福、種福，在感恩中收穫圓滿，在奉獻中成就自我。 果暉法師在當日的分享中說：“祥樂豐足是從自心做起，透過‘四福’珍惜資源，運用‘四要’實踐淨心，以‘四安’安頓身心”，這便是“心五四”的真諦－－它不只是一種理念，更是一種生活方式，讓佛法智慧融入柴米油鹽，讓每一個人都能在平凡生活中，找到安頓身心的力量。

2026年初，全球政局在權力更迭中展現了極具戲劇性的「意象復辟」。在台灣依然為轉型正義與威權地景去留爭執不休的今日，公共空間中的紀念碑始終在權力、記憶與當代價值觀的拉扯中動態位移。

布列松基金會（Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson）先前展出德國女攝影師西比勒．伯格曼（Sibylle Bergemann）在柏林圍牆倒塌前十年間，記錄馬克思（Karl Marx）與恩格斯（Friedrich Engels）紀念碑「解／建構」過程的《紀念碑》（Monuments）系列。在當下這個歷史時間點，在已重返白宮、不斷自稱「戰爭結束了」（the war is over）的川普（Donald Trump）時代氣氛中，巧妙呼應國際局勢，不禁讓人想到兩德統一時懸於半空的「再見列寧」銅像經典意象，或伊拉克戰爭中美軍地面部隊進入巴格達時，全球電視轉播眾人與裝甲車拉倒海珊（Saddam Hussein）銅像的畫面。

相同的雕像紀念碑命題，巧妙體現在德國藝術家朱利葉斯．馮．俾斯麥（Julius von Bismarck）的「動態」雕塑作品上：典型的馬背英雄雕像緩緩倒下、再站起、再倒下。又或者哥倫比亞藝術家伊萬．阿爾戈特（Ivan Argote）以公共空間紀念碑為題的不同作品，思考解殖命題。我們藉此回顧疫情期間「黑人的命也是命」（Black Lives Matter）運動中，引發全球各地對過去殖民或奴隸貿易相關「偉人」雕像的破壞與輿論討論——從發現美洲的哥倫布（Christopher Columbus），到在剛果建立殘酷殖民政權的比利時國王利奧波德二世（Leopold II），或起草《黑人法典》的法國政治家科爾伯特（Jean-Baptiste Colbert）。

面對「古人」所立、價值觀已過時的紀念雕像，究竟應該保留還是移除？我們又需要什麼樣的紀念碑？

【新唐人北京時間2026年02月19日訊】（明慧網通訊員綜合報導）二零二六丙午年到來之際，中國大陸各省市明真相的民眾紛紛表達對法輪大法的敬仰、對李洪志大師的感恩。
遼寧錦州市八旬老人：有一位大法弟子，因為派出所的人時常去她家騷擾，她就把大法書放在我家。沒事時我就看看她放的那些書。先前我也不認識幾個字，翻來翻去的我就認識了。大法師父講的太好了。我就信大法師父。
遼寧瀋陽市大東區一名大法弟子家人：我從小就沐浴在大法的佛光之中，身心受益，我現在就讀大學，成績優異，曾獲國家金獎。是師父保護幫助了我，我的智慧才源源不斷。
內蒙古呼倫貝爾牙克石市市民：我覺的大法非常好，我也儘量按照真、善、忍要求自己，雖然我沒修煉，但李大師處處呵護著我，讓我躲過了幾次大難。
山東煙台市民：感恩師父的大愛！把我媽媽從死神手中救出，讓我們有一個完整的家。
河北省保定市阜平縣人：以前不理解大法的深奧，有不敬的地方請師尊原諒。我永遠支持大法，相信大法，盼師尊早日回國，神韻早日回國。
以下是中國大陸各省市明真相的民眾敬致李大師新年賀詞賀卡：

重慶巴南一大法弟子攜家人恭祝大法師父過年好！

謝謝大法師父的慈悲救度與保護！謝謝大法師父讓大法弟子叫我們記住「法輪大法好、真善忍好」九字真言，這是救命的護身符。我們知道大法好！大法師父好！感恩慈悲偉大的師父！叩謝師恩！

黑龍江省佳木斯市橫頭上鎮一世人攜全家恭祝李大師新年好！
在新年到來之際，我們恭祝慈悲偉大的李洪志師父新年好！
我是黑龍江省樺川縣橫頭山鎮的一個普通市民。我四歲的兒子突然發燒，接著抽搐，口吐白沫，四肢僵硬，翻白眼，人事不省。去醫院檢查沒有檢查出來病。二零二五年十月的一天，孩子在一天之內出現兩次抽搐。孩子的姥姥、姥爺都是修煉法輪功的，就開始給孩子聽師父講法，聽《普度》、《濟世》音樂。我也每天跟著念「法輪大法好，真善忍好！」求師父保祐。2026年1月20日，到佳木斯精神病院繼續複檢，主治醫師震驚的說：我從醫這些年，這個情況三個月就好病的沒遇到過。孩子姥爺就把真相講給了他，主治醫師說：法輪功這麼神奇，真不可思議。我們全家叩謝師父慈悲救度！

雲南明白真相的警察恭祝李大師過年好！

大陸一明真相的軍科院退休軍官恭祝大法師父新年快樂！

乾坤萬象
滄桑歲月轉
輪迴軍人身
遇大法師父下世
廣傳真善忍
力排惡勢救眾
處處解難化險
無量恩德照蒼宇
普天齊頌讚
真善忍駐心間
誠謝救命恩
精忠報國勇護善
度難關 光明顯
乾坤萬象在眼前

北京石景山八角村農民恭祝李大師新年好！
我的祖先在大清國時就留下了土地，我們靠天吃飯，那時候還有水井，滋養了一方水土，每年過年的時候要敬天、敬地、拜神，皇帝沐浴更衣在天壇、地壇、日壇、月壇對天行大禮，祈願上蒼保祐五穀豐登、國家昌盛。
共產黨來了開始破四舊，廢除了老百姓對土地神明的敬仰，一切靠打砸搶、假惡鬥，亂了章法。人開始道德下滑，為了煽動「階級仇、民族恨」編出個騙人的洗腦課文《半夜雞叫》，當時我就想：就說半夜地主把雞攪和起來它也不會正常叫，黑燈瞎火看不見地壟溝如何農作插秧、間苗、種田，這地主撒□症吧。就這樣的騙術騙了幾代人。我們中國人攥起了拳頭開始鬥爭，與天鬥、與地鬥、與人鬥，鬥的昏天黑地、死去活來，死的都是老百姓，漁翁得利的是共產黨貪官污吏。
偶然看到了《九評共產黨》才解開了謎底，共產黨是邪教、嗜血幽靈，我們都無知的做了幫兇，我們將何去何從？那一年收到了一張神韻光盤，像指路的明燈。我們退出了邪教黨、團、隊組織，感覺天清體透，找回了迷失的靈魂。
感恩創世主的不離不棄，派天使送給我們真相、給了我們重生！現在我們覺的自己是個人，乾乾淨淨的中華兒女，我們等著創世主回來，恩澤天下蒼生。
北京石景山八角村農民三叩首

二十多年了，那時我還是個小學生，姑姑修煉大法，我一遇到問題就找姑姑，姑姑總是叫我念「法輪大法好」。我學習成績原來不好，每回考試我都念「法輪大法好」，順利的考上高中、大學，工作很順利。在難中師父慈悲呵護著我，化險為夷，我們一家祖孫四代謝師恩！

四川省遂寧市農貿市場明真相的世人恭祝大法師父新年快樂！

陝西省漢中市漢台區眾生感恩慈悲偉大的李洪志師父！

眾生感恩慈悲偉大的李洪志師父！大法如冬天的太陽普照著被謊言欺騙的中國人，為身受霜雪寒冷的眾生曬去了風霜雪雨，使四億六千萬的覺醒眾生登上了救命的法船。
凡是誠心念九字真言的，都在平安健康的工作生活：九十歲的嫂子，現在耳通眼不花；九十四歲大叔，天天看大法弟子贈送的明慧年曆，並和他九十一歲老伴閒時就念法輪大法好，加之兒女盡孝，現在生活的很好；天天出車的姪兒、姪女、同學、同仁身不離真相護身符，都深受大法師父的保祐！

四川綿陽明真相的世人一家三口恭祝李大師新年快樂！

感謝李大師對我們全家的慈悲呵護！感謝李大師教導大法弟子按真善忍做好人、講真相救度世人，使我們明白了法輪功是教人向善好功法，知道中共邪黨故意栽贓陷害法輪功、迫害大法弟子。自從我們退出了中共的邪惡組織，我們全家福報連連！

吉林省一明真相教師攜親友恭祝慈悲偉大的大法師父新年好！

我是一名鄉村教師，從小親屬就告訴我要誠心敬念「法輪大法好，真善忍好」，並成功做了三退。高考時以高出平時模擬成績三十多分順利考進我理想的大學，大學剛畢業參加教師招聘考試又一試即中，順利成為一名鄉村教師。我知道，我的這一切福份，都是法輪大法師父賦予我的，感恩大法師父為眾生所承載的一切，沒有法輪大法的救度就沒有這個世界，也就沒有我的現在及未來。
恭祝慈悲偉大的大法師父新年好！新年快樂！感恩法輪大法師父！法輪大法好！真善忍好！

週六（2月21日），2026年米蘭科爾蒂納冬奧會自由式滑雪中技巧項目混合團體賽，美國名次凱拉‧庫恩（Kaila Kuhn，右）、康納‧柯倫（Connor Curran，中）和克里斯‧利利斯（Chris Lillis）憑藉穩定的整體發揮奪冠，斬獲本屆冬奧會第11枚金牌。(Photo by Jeff PACHOUD / AFP)【大紀元2026年02月21日訊】（大紀元記者李平綜合報導）週六（2月21日），2026年米蘭科爾蒂納冬奧會自由式滑雪中技巧項目混合團體賽中，美國名將凱拉‧庫恩（Kaila Kuhn）、康納‧柯倫（Connor Curran）和克里斯‧利利斯（Chris Lillis）憑藉穩定的整體發揮奪冠，斬獲本屆冬奧會第11枚金牌。

第11枚金牌打破了上屆在美國本土舉辦的奧運會（2002年鹽湖城冬奧會）上創下的紀錄。鹽湖城冬奧會後，美國冬季運動項目一直舉步維艱。

加上週六這枚金牌，目前美國在本屆冬奧會上共斬獲30枚獎牌，僅次於挪威。挪威在前一天贏得第17枚金牌，位居第一。

今年的冬奧會獎牌項目比2002年增加38個。四年前，利利斯曾與阿什利‧考德威爾（Ashley Caldwell）和賈斯汀‧舍內菲爾德（Justin Schoenefeld）搭檔，在北京冬奧會上奪冠，此次奪冠是他的衛冕之戰。

美國隊其他10枚金牌的得主分別是：自由滑雪運動員亞歷克斯‧費雷拉（Alex Ferreira）費雷拉已集齊本屆冬奧會金牌、銀牌和銅牌。

高山滑雪運動員布里茨‧約翰森（Breezy Johnson）約翰森在2月8日舉行的2026年米蘭科爾蒂納冬奧會女子滑降比賽中奪冠。這位現役世錦賽冠軍以1:36.10的成績奪得這枚金牌。

自由式滑雪雪上技巧（Moguls）運動員伊麗莎白‧萊姆利（Elizabeth Lemley）在本屆冬奧會自由式滑雪女子雪上技巧比賽中，萊姆利奪得金牌，美國隊友傑琳·考夫獲得銀牌。

花樣滑冰運動員劉美賢（Alysa Liu）四年前北京冬奧會後，劉美賢曾短暫退役，並於去年重返賽場。在本屆冬季奧運花式溜冰女子個人決賽，劉美力壓兩位最強勁敵、日本的坂本花織和中井亞美，為美國贏得這面睽違24年的金牌。

雪橇運動員埃琳娜·邁爾斯‧泰勒（Elena Myers Taylor）以41歲高齡第六次參加奧運會，是冬奧會歷史上年紀最大的金牌得主。

高山滑雪運動員米凱拉‧希弗林（Mikaela Shiffrin）四年前淚灑賽場與冠軍失之交臂後，終於奪冠。

速滑運動員喬丹‧斯托爾茲（Jordan Stolz），兩枚金牌2023年，他在世界競速滑冰錦標賽上奪得男子500米、男子1000米和男子1500米三個項目的冠軍，成為歷史上首位在單屆競速滑冰世錦賽上拿下三個個人項目冠軍的男選手。

本屆冬奧會上，他已經斬獲男子500米、男子1000米金牌，週六晚，他將在爭奪第三枚金牌。

美國花樣滑冰隊劉美賢、安珀‧格倫（Amber Glenn）和伊利亞‧馬利寧（Ilia Malinin）等隊員幫助美國隊連續第二年奪得冬奧會金牌；上一次奪金歷經兩年，最終在俄羅斯興奮劑醜聞的陰影下得以實現。

美國女子冰球隊比賽扣人心弦，希拉里‧奈特（Hilary Knight）在比賽還剩2分04秒時扳平比分，隨後梅根‧凱勒（Megan Keller）在加時賽中打入制勝球。

【大紀元2026年02月21日訊】（大紀元記者張婷綜合報導）週五（2月20日），一輛載中國遊客的旅遊巴士在穿越俄羅斯西伯利亞貝加爾湖（Lake Baikal）時，因湖面冰層破裂發生墜湖事件，導致八人死亡。俄羅斯伊爾庫茨克州（Irkutsk）州長週六（2月21日）發布更新消息說，潛水員已從湖中打撈出所有遇難者遺體，包括司機和七名中國公民。

「我們現在可以確定，遇難者包括一名司機和七名中國公民。我再次向遇難者家屬和朋友致以最深切的慰問。」 伊爾庫茨克州州長伊戈爾・科布澤夫（Igor Kobzev）在Telegram應用程序上說。

科布澤夫表示，巴士上的一名中國遊客成功逃生。中共駐伊爾庫茨克總領事館已獲悉此事。

據俄羅斯緊急情況部報告，這輛巴士墜入一條寬約3米（10英尺）的冰縫中。事故發生地點的水深為18米（59英尺）。

據美聯社報導，地區檢察官辦公室表示，已對此事件展開刑事調查。以查明是否存在過失和安全違規行為導致人員死亡。伊爾庫茨克旅遊局表示，該巴士旅遊項目由一家未註冊的運營商運行。

《莫斯科時報》（The Moscow Times）說，有未經證實的報導稱，墜湖巴士的俄羅斯司機在貝加爾湖無證經營旅遊業務。

貝加爾湖位於蒙古北部，是世界上最深的淡水湖，也是熱門的旅遊目的地。該湖是聯合國教科文組織世界遺產，每年1月至4月間湖面會結冰，形成異常清澈厚實的冰層，吸引著來自世界各地的遊客。通往奧爾洪島（Olkhon Island）的冰路通常在2月至3月的旅遊旺季開放，此時冰層足夠厚，可以承載重型車輛。 科布澤夫州長表示，今年的冰路尚未正式開放。近年來，隨著中俄兩國關係日益密切以及互免簽證制度的實施，赴俄中國遊客人數激增。

據俄羅斯媒體報道，今年截至目前，至少有11名遊客據信在貝加爾湖喪生。 1月下旬，一名中國遊客因一輛麵包車在冰面上翻覆而不幸身亡。麵包車的司機因涉嫌違反安全規定導致他人死亡而被捕。

【大紀元2026年02月21日訊】1980年9月20日，65歲的鄭念女士，獨自一人，帶著一個箱子，20美元，在上海搭乘輪船，永遠離開了她的故土。她在《上海生死劫》中寫道：

「……細雨瞬間成了傾盆大雨，伴隨著電閃雷鳴。我既無雨衣也無雨傘，急切蹣跚地登上濕滑的過道，行李上滴落著雨水。……船起錨了，先溯江而上調轉船頭，透過迷濛的雨簾，我瞥見了殼牌公司大樓和我昔日辦公室的窗子，往事真如虛假的夢。船加快了航速，馳過黃浦江最後一段航道。抵近長江入海口時，風暴停了，幾束陽光透過薄簿的雲層照射下來。平生多次我從上海由海路出國，誠如此次一樣，站在甲板上任憑江風吹拂我的頭髮，目送著中國的海岸線隱退，從來沒有一次令我像此刻那樣感到悲哀。」

「正是我在1949年4月，應丈夫囑咐，將梅平從香港帶回了上海。我相信，梅平慘死的駭人悲劇，是在歷史的非常時刻因我們作出了留在中國這一致命決定而造成的直接後果。因此，我為自己竟是生還者而深深負疚。我但願是梅平站在這甲板上離開，去謀求她的新生。畢竟，自然法則理應是老者死幼者生，而非顛倒逆轉。」

「我還深深感到悲哀，因為我將永久離開我出生的故國。這真是萬念俱灰的最後一刻。蒼天可鑑，我曾經如何竭盡對祖國真誠。但是我全然失敗了，罪不在我。」

一，出身名門鄭念，原名姚念媛，1915年出生在北平一個官宦之家。她祖父姚晉圻進士出身，曾官居刑部主事。父親姚秋武曾留學日本，回國後成為海軍少將。她長大在天津，曾就讀於南開女子中學。她畢業於燕京大學，後留學英國倫敦政經學院，獲碩士學位。

1935年，她在那裡遇到了攻讀博士學位的燕京學長鄭康琪，兩人相愛並結婚。1939年回國後，她丈夫成了國民政府的外交官，兩年後被派往澳大利亞使館。她和丈夫在澳洲生活了7年，他們的女兒梅平出生在堪培那。1948年，她丈夫回到上海，繼續擔任外交官。1949年4月，她和女兒也來到上海。

中共接管上海時，他們一家選擇留在了上海。根據中共的安排，她丈夫出任英國殼牌公司上海辦事處總經理，直到1957年病逝。之後，殼牌公司派來新的總經理，英國人，不懂中文，應殼牌公司邀請，她成為新任總經理的助手，一直工作到1966年4月殼牌公司離開中國大陸。

二，文革蒙難直到1966年4月，她一直過著平靜、優雅而又與世無爭的生活。

但是，到了1966年5月，當文化大革命的風暴席捲全國之際，她的平靜生活被徹底打破了。

一天，有兩個人上門通知她去參加一個批判別人的群眾會議，她表示不感興趣。其中一人憤怒地責問道：「難道你不知道『無產階級文化大革命』開始了嗎？」她竟然回答說：「『文化大革命』與我們有什麼關係？我們為商行服務，又不是文化組織。」

很快，這個不問政治的人，被政治找上了門。因為她當時仍然住著花園洋房，過著「資產階級的」生活，她的家成了造反派率先打、砸、搶的對象，先後有三撥造反派到她家，把所有值錢的東西全部搶走了。

三，拒絕認罪因有她有留學經歷，且多年為外資企業工作，她被懷疑是「英國間諜」。

1966年9月27日，經歷了一個批鬥會之後，她被逮捕，關進上海第一看守所。這一關就是6年半。

當局指控她的罪名是「裡通外國」、為英國人充當「間諜」，但她一直拒絕認罪。

第一次被提審時，審訊員一上來便指控她有罪，並威脅說，不認罪就會死在監獄裡。她卻斬釘截鐵地回答說：「寧死也不說謊。」

她後來回憶：「因為我一貫是愛國的，侮辱我做特務，這個我是不能忍受的，我在監獄裡就跟他們辯論，我說你們拿出證據來，他們拿不出證據就打我，甚至於變相的用刑，我受的痛苦是很多的，有的時候他們不給我飯吃，讓我暈倒在地。但是，那時候我就覺得，無論我受多大的苦，我絕對不能做假供。」

有一次，審訊員對她說：「別人都交代了，為什麼就你不肯交代？」她答：「我沒有錯，為什麼要交代？」對方卻說：「你要是沒錯，全上海一千萬人，為什麼你會入獄？」

她當即反問：「你把貓擱在狗籠裡，怪它不會汪汪，是你錯還是貓錯？」

在她的交代材料的底部，落款照例是「犯罪分子」。她每次都不厭其煩地在「犯罪分子」前面加上「沒有犯過任何罪的」這幾個字。在多次重寫交代材料以後，再給她的紙上終於不再有「犯罪分子」這個落款了。

因為拒不認罪，她吃了很多苦頭。她曾被特製加重方形手銬連日連夜地反銬，致使皮開肉爛，膿血感染，直至昏死過去，她的雙手落下終身的傷疤。

她受盡嚴刑逼供，幾次瀕臨死亡，落下一身病，全身關節整天都在疼痛。如果彎腰屈背，會感到少痛些，但她不願為減痛而有失形象。長期受到肉體和精神的折磨，本就瘦弱的鄭念，變得更加虛弱，她的體重甚至跌到70多斤。

雖身處囹圄，但她仍努力維持著自己的體面與尊嚴。她說：「不能因為被限制了自由就不去整理被風吹亂的頭髮和被油污弄髒了的衣服，我不只要活下去，而且要有尊嚴、堅強地活下去。」

1971年9月13日，毛澤東親自選定的第二個接班人林彪，在蒙古溫都爾汗墜機身亡。此後，中國政局有所鬆動，文革初期被打倒的一些老幹部重新復出工作。鄭念的處境也稍有改善。

1974年3月27日，戲劇性的一幕出現了。當辦案人員向她宣布，組織上決定對她寬大處理、釋放出獄時，她居然拒絕出獄。她要求宣布她無罪，並且要求賠禮道歉，還要在上海、北京的報紙上公開道歉。

辦案人員哪裡會聽她這一套，馬上叫來兩個人，一左一右，把她架了出去。

四，女兒被害鄭梅平是鄭念與鄭康琪的獨生女，1943年出生在澳大利亞，回中國時，她只有6歲。

因為自小英文流利，鄭梅平曾被安排在上海少年宮接待外賓，還是上海市女子划艇隊隊長，彈得一手好鋼琴，後被選拔進上海電影學校表演系學習。1964年畢業後，被分配到上海電影製片廠當演員。

他的同學回憶說：「鄭梅平出奇地樸素平易，她經常一身白襯衣，藍褲子，北京布鞋。是品學兼優，積極上進的好學生，也是學生幹部，很受老師器重和同學愛戴，給人開朗健康質樸的印象。」

鄭念好幾次出國前問她：「願不願意跟我一起到國外看一看？」她總說：「我不要。」因為她愛國，她是「優秀共青團員」。

文革爆發後，她也像其他年輕人一樣，積極參與。但不久，她的家被查抄，她的母親被抓捕，她也被趕出家門，關進「牛棚」，因為她的家庭出身是「資產階級」。

鄭念在獄中一直掂記著女兒。別的在押人員都有家人送東西，她卻一直沒有。有一年冬天，她實在冷得不行，請求看守讓她的家人送棉衣棉被來。結果，一天看守給她扔進一個包裹，裡面裝的是她兒女的棉衣和棉被，且這棉衣、棉被還像新的一樣。當時，她就預感女兒可能出事了。

出獄那天，來接她的，不是她的女兒，而是她的乾女兒。她問：梅平怎麼沒有來？乾女兒說，呆會兒到房間跟你說。進屋後，乾女兒才對她說：梅平1969年從市體委大樓跳樓自殺了。

對她來說，這簡直就像晴天劈靂。她不相信女兒會自殺。經過一番調查後，她才弄明白了女兒的死因。女兒是被上海工人革命造反隊成員胡永年等人活活打死後，扔下樓的。

鄭梅平被虐殺時，年僅26歲！

鄭念後來接受採訪時說：「弄死我女兒，是我永遠不能原諒的事。如果我對任何人說我的心情平復了，那絕對是撒謊！」

五，撰写《上海生死劫》離開上海、離開中國後，鄭念卻常常回想起她和女兒在文革時的遭遇。

1986年，71歲那年，曾經是「上海英文講得最好的中國人」的鄭念，用嫻熟的英文與良好的文學素養，寫成自傳體小說「Life and Death in Shanghai」（《上海生死劫》），先在英國出版，次年在美國出版。

她回憶說，寫這本書，前後花了兩年時間，一共寫了五遍：前三遍整理思緒，第四遍校訂文法，第五遍刪節，由1200多頁刪至760頁。

這本書一經面世，立即轟動歐美，成為海外關於中國文化大革命歷史最著名暢銷書之一。如今，這本書已被翻譯成幾十種文字，在世界各地出版發行。她也因此成了聞名歐美的文化名人，世界各地邀她去演講的請柬紛至沓來。她聲情並茂的泣血演講，令聽者無不動容。

結語2009年11月2日，鄭念女士病逝於美國華盛頓的家中，享年94歲。

有人稱鄭念為「北方的佳人」，有人稱她為「上海的名媛」，有人稱她為「最後的貴族」。從這些稱呼中，就能感受人們對她的美麗、優雅與高貴的讚美與欽佩。

歷史學家余時英評價說：「她人品極高，絕對不會向共產黨妥協；不會說共產黨現在有錢了，對你也很好，然後就放棄過去的追求，鄭念絕不肯的。如果中國人都能像鄭念，第一，共產黨不會產生，第二，產生了也不會長久；但是在中國，妥協的人遠遠多於堅持自己立場的人，這是很大的悲劇。」

在中共的紅色恐怖中，鄭念始終堅持不向中共妥協，是非常難能可能貴的。這是鄭念留給今天的中國人乃至子孫後代最重要的遺產之一。

【大紀元2026年02月21日訊】每當黃曆新年來臨，紐約法拉盛商場張燈結綵，酒樓滿座迎春，燒臘檔與餅店香氣四溢，人們忙著採辦年貨、預訂團年飯局，只為討個好彩頭，在新一年迎接平安與富足。各大酒樓的團年飯席位，早在數週前便已訂滿。家庭團聚、親友圍桌，這頓飯不只是味覺的盛宴，更是情感與文化的交匯。

適逢新年之際，記者走訪多家位於法拉盛的粵式酒樓，觀察當中充滿詩意的新年吉祥菜名，如「萬象更新」、「招財進寶」等。講究綵頭和寓意是中國菜命名的一大特色，每一道菜餚都承載著跨越千年的祝願與情感。透過這些滿載寓意的名字，我們得以讀懂中華飲食文化的深厚底蘊，也看見海外華人在團圓飯桌上延續傳統、寄託希望的溫柔心意。

粵式酒樓菜名獻福步入法拉盛王子街粥之家（Congee Village）的大堂，首先映入眼簾的是高逾二十呎的樓底與開闊空間。瓷磚嵌拼的大型壁畫、雕花窗戶與小橋流水，構築出嶺南庭園式的雅致氛圍。拾級而下，流水假山魚池中錦鯉悠游，靈龜靜伏一隅；一輛銅馬牽引的古典馬車靜立其旁，在馬年之際更添寓意吉祥的象徵。這種空間設計，不只是裝飾，而是文化意象的延伸，讓人尚未入席，便已感受到節慶的氣氛。

翻開新年特別菜單，吉祥語彙如詩句般鋪展。「萬象更新」以象拔蚌刺身呈現春回大地之意；「雙星報喜」以XO醬螺片與桂花蚌相映，寓意喜事成雙；「招財進寶」的發菜、蠔豉、瑤柱脯象徵財源廣進；「滿掌黃金」以原隻鮑魚鵝掌象徵富貴滿盈；「鴻運當頭」的紅燒乳鴿則寓意好運降臨；「獨占鰲頭」以蔥撈游水魚象徵出類拔萃；「錦繡長春」的鮑汁伊麵，則寄寓長壽與繁榮；「五谷豐登」帶來金雙蛋炒飯。

粵菜的命名藝術，講究「樂美名以怡情」，文字之華麗與寓意之深遠，使菜餚超越味覺層面，成為文化象徵。運用食材的諧音對應吉祥話，是常見的命名方式。例如「發財蠔豉」以蠔豉諧音「好事」或「好市」，寓意財源滾滾。

「百花」常指蝦膠或花膠，象徵繁花似錦，如「百花魚肚」、「江南百花雞」、「百花釀雙菇」等，「百花」有時也衍生為「錦繡」，如「錦繡玉荷包」。還有不少菜名喜歡用「牡丹」，多指蟹黃，寓意富貴。但「牡丹」與「百花」都是花，用花膠還是用蟹黃，就要看不同廚師的選擇了。

以食材為特色命名，又是年菜的另一種方式，例如「白玉」或「碧玉」則指冬瓜或節瓜，象徵潔白純美；「翡翠」指青綠蔬菜，寓意生機盎然；「龍鳳」常代表蝦與雞，象徵陰陽和合；「金錢」多指北菇，寓意財富；「玉樹」則象徵芥蘭，寓意昌盛。「五彩」其實是五色配料，如叉燒絲、香菇絲、熟姜絲、筍絲、韭黃等，繽紛色彩將菜餚點綴，可謂「色香味俱全」。

ALLIANCES: New Delhi’s cooperation with Brasilia complements its other partnerships, which grant India access to advanced technologies and finance

India and Brazil yesterday agreed to boost cooperation on critical minerals and rare earths, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said after talks in New Delhi with Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

“The agreement on critical minerals and rare earths in a major step toward building resilient supply chains,” Modi said.

Brazil has the world’s second-largest reserves of critical minerals, which are used in everything from electric vehicles, solar panels and smartphones to jet engines and guided missiles.

India, seeking to cut its dependence on top exporter China, has been expanding domestic production and recycling while scouting for new suppliers.

“Increasing investments and cooperation in matters of renewable energies and critical minerals is at the core of the pioneering agreement that we have signed today,” Lula said.

The details of the deal were not available as of press time last night.

Nine other agreements and memoranda of understanding were finalized, touching on digital cooperation, health, entrepreneurship and other fields, an official said.

“Brazil is India’s largest trade partner in Latin America. We are committed to taking our bilateral trade beyond US$20 billion in the coming five years,” Modi said. “Our trade is not just a figure, but a reflection of trust.”

Lula, who arrived in New Delhi on Wednesday for a summit on artificial intelligence, is accompanied by a delegation of more than a dozen ministers as well as business leaders.

He was yesterday given a ceremonial welcome and paid his tributes to India’s independence hero Mahatma Gandhi, before going into the meeting with Modi.

With China holding a near-monopoly on rare earths production, some countries are seeking alternative sources.

Council on Energy, Environment and Water senior program lead Rishabh Jain said India’s growing cooperation with Brazil on critical minerals complements recent supply chain engagements with the US, France and the EU.

These partnerships grant India access to advanced technologies, finance and high-end processing capabilities, he said.

“Global South alliances are critical for securing diversified, on-ground resource access and shaping emerging rules of global trade,” Jain added.

India is the 10th-largest market for Brazilian exports, with bilateral trade topping US$15 billion last year.

Key Brazilian exports to India include sugar, crude oil, vegetable oils, cotton and iron ore.

Demand for iron ore has been driven by rapid infrastructure expansion and industrial growth in India, which is on track to become the world’s fourth-largest economy.

The US has barred a Chilean Cabinet minister and two other officials from being able to enter the country, part of a diplomatic rebuke over Chile’s trade ties with China, including a proposed undersea cable that could link them.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Friday said the Chilean officials were undermining regional security, and he triggered individual travel bans.

“These individuals and their immediate family members will be generally ineligible for entry into the United States, and any US visas held by them have been revoked,” he said.

Chilean Minister of Foreign Affairs Alberto van Klaveren said the US’ concerns relate to a request by two private companies to lay a submarine cable linking Chile to Hong Kong.

“The US government believes that cable could in some way pose a threat to its security,” van Klaveren said.

The proposal remains in an early stage and a final decision has not yet been made, he added.

Chilean Transportation and Telecommunications Minister Juan Carlos Munoz confirmed that he is among the three officials targeted with the visa cancelations.

Munoz, widely seen as a technocrat, has led Chile’s efforts to become a digital hub by establishing a series of undersea cables to shore up connectivity. The latest project is cofinanced by Alphabet Inc’s Google and would run from Chile to Australia.

“We don’t discriminate with respect to the origins of different projects and analyze them based on their own merits,” he said, adding that such projects cannot be approved if they threaten Chile’s sovereignty or national security.

Chile’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it was surprised by the visa cancelations and rejected the accusation that it had compromised “the security of the continent or third countries.”

It described the US announcement as out of step with its historic ties to Washington, which it sees as a “strategic ally,” and added that US Ambassador to Chile Brandon Judd had been summoned to explain the reasons behind the decision.

“This is a warning sign that should not be taken lightly,” New York University political scientist Patricio Navia said. “The growing confrontation between China and the US is putting South American countries between a rock and a hard place.”

Chile might be forced to take sides, he said.

“It is in the best interest of Chile to remain friends with the US and keep strong trade and cooperation ties with China. Having to choose sides would be devastating for Chile,” Navia added.

DIFFERENT ISSUES: Experts say that the government and parties should not misunderstand or misconstrue the situation, with the negotiations already in hand

A ruling by the US Supreme Court declaring US President Donald Trump’s global tariffs unconstitutional should boost Taiwan’s stock market when trading resumes tomorrow after the Lunar New Year holiday ends, an analyst said yesterday, while an academic warned that the government and political parties must not misjudge the situation or abandon the negotiated terms in the Agreement on Reciprocal Trade (ART).

In a 6-3 decision issued on Friday, the court ruled that Trump’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose the levies was unlawful.

Fan Chen-hung (范振鴻), president of Capital Investment Management Corp, said the decision should be seen as somewhat positive for the Taiwan Stock Exchange’s post-holiday reopening.

From left to right, Riley Walters, senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, Bonnie Glaser, managing director of the Indo-Pacific Program at the German Marshall Fund of the United States, and Rupert Hammond-Chambers, President of the US-Taiwan Business Council, are pictured at an expert panel held at the Hudson Institute in Washington on Friday.

Fan said Taiwan’s major exports to the US, such as semiconductors and electronic components, were already exempt from the tariffs and would therefore see little direct impact.

The main beneficiaries, he said, were likely to be the stocks of non-tech manufacturers, including apparel and footwear producers.

Overall, Fan said the court ruling would have only a limited influence on the local stock market, with investor sentiment likely to be more affected by how the market interprets the earnings report of chip giant Nvidia Corp scheduled to be released on Wednesday.

Chiou Jiunn-rong (邱俊榮), an economics professor at National Central University, said the most critical task for the government and parties is to avoid mishandling the situation and observing the reactions of the Japanese and South Korean governments while persuading the legislature to pass the agreed-upon conditions.

Many believe that if the IEEPA becomes invalid, tariffs would return to previous levels and be lower, but the reality is not so simple, he said, adding that the impact of tariffs is not just about the surface number.

The rates applied to Taiwan’s main competitors also play a role, Chiou said. Japan and South Korea have already finalized their tariff rates.

Taiwan’s negotiated tariff agreements are one of the lowest among nations with a trade surplus with the US and it secured most favorable treatment, so the nation is already in a winning position, he said.

Trump has invested significant time and energy into investigating the trade status of various countries and adjusting tariff rates to meet his predetermined goals and to him, these rates are a “done deal,” so even if the IEEPA were to lose effect, he could invoke other mechanisms to raise tariffs back to his target levels, Chiou said.

It is not as simple as: “if the IEEPA fails, tariffs return to square one,” he said.

Separately, at a Hudson Institute seminar yesterday, Hudson Institute senior fellow Riley Walters said that the US Supreme Court ruling would affect Taiwan minimally, as tariffs on Taiwanese exports to the US, namely the 25 percent tariff rate on Taiwanese auto parts, timber, lumber and wood derivative products, were mostly governed under Section 232.

The ART has reduced IEEPA tariffs to 15 percent, while Section 232 tariffs on Taiwanese exports have been reduced to 15 percent, Walters said.

German Marshall Fund of the US’ Indo-Pacific Program managing director Bonnie Glaser yesterday said that the ART highlighted the importance of maintaining Taiwan-US relations.

Glaser said Trump must approve all trade negotiations and the signing of the ART, and his notifying Congress of the intent to sell Taiwan military packages valued at US$11 billion highlights Trump’s willingness to strengthen Taiwan-US relations.

Glaser wrote on social media that “Trump “doesn’t want to look weak, and so he wants to handle [Taiwan] in a way that he doesn’t offend [Chinese President] Xi Jinping (習近平) and undermine the prospects of having a good summit... But he also wants to be seen as tough. And he doesn’t want to be seen as abandoning Taiwan.”

A NEW ENTRY:  The KMT will reportedly have its own version ready shortly for consideration, joining the oft-rejected DPP version and the TPP’s own proposal

The Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) has stated that it could have its version of the special defense budget readied by Feb. 24, listed for discussion by March 11 following elections of committee conveners and reviewed by the end of March.

The KMT and the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) have staunchly opposed the Executive Yuan’s NT$1.25 trillion (US$39.7 billion) special defense budget which was proposed late last year, covering this year through to 2033, to bolster the nation’s defense resilience and asymmetric capabilities.

However, the TPP last month proffered its own version of a special budget defense bill for NT$400 billion.

On Feb. 12, 37 bipartisan US lawmakers sent a joint letter to Legislative Speaker Han Kuo-yu (韓國瑜), the heads of the KMT and the TPP, and the Democratic Progressive Party caucus whip, expressing concern about the legislature stalling proposed defense spending.

US Senator Pete Ricketts, who led the letter, urged “Taiwan to pass the full special defense budget,” as “the threat posed by Communist China against Taiwan has never been greater.”

According to a source, commenting on condition of anonymity, the version that currently enjoys greater support within the KMT caucus, especially among younger party members, is one with a NT$750 billion allotment.

However, the source said there are rumors that KMT Chairwoman Cheng Li-chun (鄭麗君) sought a proposal of no more than NT$350 billion.

The source also said that former TPP Chairman Ko Wen-je (柯文哲) recently stated that the TPP would amend its proposed defense budget after discussions with the US.

A KMT legislator, speaking on condition of anonymity, said caucus members were amenable to discussing a budget, but that there were fundamental disagreements over the budget number.

The KMT party central has never wanted to block the budget, but wished to keep the budget cap at NT$350 billion, regardless of whether it is a caucus-proposed version or an amendment proposal on the floor, the legislator said.

The legislator said the KMT hoped that the proposed budget would be delivered for committee discussion as soon as possible, adding that only then can the parties discuss what they actually want to see happen.

Citing the KMT proposal to raise wages for military personnel, the legislator said that if the proposal went to committee, legislators could then discuss the ratio of officers to total army size, and that it was only fair to discuss reasonable wages for military personnel when discussing a budget to purchase large amounts of military equipment.

‘So many lies about recycling’: the fight to stop big oil pumping billions more into plasticsPlastic production has doubled over the past 20 years — and will likely double again. For author Beth Gardiner, metal water bottles and canvas tote bags are not the solution. So what is?

Like many of us who are mindful of our plastic consumption, Beth Gardiner would take her own bags to the supermarket and be annoyed whenever she forgot to do so. Out without her refillable bottle, she would avoid buying bottled water.

“Here I am, in my own little life, worrying about that and trying to use less plastic,” she says. Then she read an article in this newspaper, just over eight years ago, and discovered that fossil fuel companies had plowed more than US$180 billion into plastic plants in the US since 2010. “It was a kick in the teeth,” Gardiner says. “You’re telling me that while I am beating myself up because I forgot to bring my water bottle, all these huge oil companies are pouring billions…” She looks appalled. “It was just such a shock.”

Two months before that piece was published, a photograph of a seahorse clinging to a plastic cotton bud had gone viral; two years before that England followed Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and introduced a charge for carrier bags. “I was one of so many people who were trying to use less plastic — and it just felt like such a moment of revelation: these companies are, on the contrary, increasing production and wanting to push [plastic use] up and up.” Then, Gardiner says, as she started researching her book Plastic Inc: Big Oil, Big Money and the Plan to Trash our Future, “it only becomes more shocking.”

Her research took her to Reserve, Louisiana, in the Lower Mississippi River, where she met Robert Taylor, an activist in his 80s who has spent much of his life living by an enormous plastics plant.

“He is surrounded by illness, by all kinds of cancers. He only found out in 2016, as a result of federal action, that the levels of toxic gases had gone through the roof in his area, an overwhelmingly black neighborhood. He told me about all the illness in his family — affecting his wife and his daughter, his neighbors and his cousins. It was haunting. When we talk about plastic, we tend to think about the ways we experience it in our own lives, and we’re not as aware of the production and the impact it has on the people who live beside it,” she says.

In Indonesia, Gardiner visited a hill of dumped plastic. The material was “as far as the eye could see. I walked around on top of it, and picked up packaging from brands that I know, both in the UK and the US, and in European languages.” It had been dumped by a paper factory that imports waste paper, in bundles that are contaminated with plastic — possibly the plastic we think we are recycling. “It was very sobering to be on the other side of the world and see these brands.”

Gardiner was not naive — an environmental journalist from the US, now based in London, she had written a book, Choked, on air pollution. She was well aware of the tactics and impact of the oil industry, but she was still shocked.

“I think what stood out most is the deliberateness and intentionality over the years of pushing plastic into our lives,” she says. “If you look back to the 50s and 60s, when this model of disposability was being invented, there are speeches given at plastics industry conferences, saying: ‘We can make so much more money by selling a bottle that will be thrown out than selling a bottle that gets reused 20 or 40 times.’ I guess what shocked me the most is the deliberate way that they built this world that we live in. They understood the impact, the consequences, and they saw the profit that it offered and that overrode everything else.”

In the past 20 years, Gardiner writes, plastic production has doubled, and it will double again, perhaps triple, in the near future. Petrochemicals for plastic are, she says, “expected to be the largest single driver of oil demand in the decades to come. Obviously these oil companies can see what is coming — they understand that that shift away from fossil fuels is a threat to their business model that has been so profitable for them.” Plastic, she says, “is a way for them to keep drilling and to keep making money. Putting their expertise and muscle into solar or wind power was not the way they wanted to go. It’s not as profitable as selling oil and gas, so they’re all in on the current model, and plastic is a way to perpetuate it. Which is why it is, I guess, even more catastrophic. Because if it’s enabling the industry to keep drilling, to keep selling oil and gas, that is a huge threat to the climate.”

The extraction and transport of fossil fuels, and manufacturing and disposal of plastics, all create carbon emissions. According to the UN, in 2019, plastics generated 1.8 billion tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions — 3.4 percent of total global emissions.

Meanwhile plastic has contaminated the planet. Microplastics — created when plastic degrades — have been found in the deepest ocean and on top of Mount Everest. They’re in food, water and the air we breathe. Studies have shown the presence of microplastics in humans, and although the reliability of tests and the levels found has recently been questioned, the presence of microplastics isn’t in doubt.

“The research on microplastics is very new, and this is science doing what science needs to do,” Gardiner says. “We don’t know everything we need to know about microplastics, but it’s important to understand that this is only one piece of the health harms. There’s a much longer history of research that is much clearer about the chemicals in plastic that leach into our food, drink, our environment, our bodies.” This includes chemicals that disrupt the endocrine and cardiovascular systems, and are linked to cancer.

Plastic is derived from fossil fuels, but the end products — the number of crisp packets I throw away each week, or the new trainers I want — are so far removed from the source that this fact barely registers. It was the same for Gardiner, she admits with a laugh, and she is an environmental journalist. “That inscrutability has been very beneficial to the industry.” Would it help if plastic was rebranded in the popular imagination as a fossil fuel product? “I think so. I guess what I’m trying to do with this book is help people understand the origins of this plastic mess that we’re in, and part of that is understanding who is driving it, and that it’s not us as individuals.”

Ironically, plastics were developed in the mid-19th century as a response to environmental concerns, such as elephants being hunted for ivory. Early plastics, such as parkesine and celluloid, were derived from plant-based cellulose, and in the first decades of the 20th century, more plastics, or polymers, followed, the results of experiments with chemicals derived from fossil-fuel processing, and including polystyrene, nylon and PVC. The world’s most common plastic, polyethylene, was created by British chemists in 1933.

“Plastic is supply-driven rather than demand-pulled,” Gardiner says. “Plastic has always had this unique ability to reverse the relationship between supply and demand.” The materials being used were by-products of oil and gas processing. Companies were looking for uses for them — and realized they could make a profit. They wooed the public with promises of convenience and disposability. Plastic, Gardiner says, is “the foundational material of modern consumerism”. It is undoubtedly useful, and because so much was being produced, it is cheap and widely available. Products started appearing, from pens and cigarette lighters to diapers and cups, that used to be reusable. And disposability meant more profit.

It was not that the public ignored the harms. “There have always been these moments of potential crisis for the industry,” Gardiner says. “There was a panic over landfill space — that was a big issue in the US in the 1970s and 1980s. More recently, the David Attenborough [Blue Planet] documentaries and the videos of ocean plastic. These moments of public concern about the impact of waste have bubbled up regularly over the last 50-some years. They are a threat to the industry, and they have a lot of tactics for defusing them.”

One of the most effective, she says, is to shift the focus on to individuals. “[People in the plastics industry] are very happy for us to look at ourselves and at each other, and not look at them,” Gardiner says. Plastic was framed not as an overproduction problem, but as a litter problem. In the US in the late 50s, food, drink, cigarette and packaging companies formed the organization Keep America Beautiful, spending huge amounts on promoting themselves and the message to put rubbish in the correct places. “No one really knew the industry was hiding behind this anodyne name.”

It was a similar story with recycling. “Recycling has been a big part of their arsenal. I think the thing that was so shocking was to read these documents and conference transcripts, going back to the ’70s, to see that they understood it is really hard to make plastic recycling work.” They also understood that an attempt at recycling would make consumers less guilty about the waste they were producing — a feeling I know well, every time I smugly dump a bag of soft plastics in a supermarket recycling bin. “They pushed so many myths and lies about recycling.”

Recycling has value for materials such as cardboard, glass and cans — “even so, we should be using way less” — and for some plastics, such as PET drinks bottles. But for most plastic, it is inefficient and expensive, and releases harmful toxins. Meanwhile, the plastic degrades each time it’s recycled, simply delaying its eventual final resting place in landfill (or incineration). “They’ve worked very hard to muddy our understanding of what is possible and what recycling can offer,” Gardiner says. “Because the reality is: very little. It’s taking advantage of our desire to be more environmentally sustainable.”

Meanwhile, Gardiner details how the fossil fuel and plastics industry — in many cases one and the same — has lobbied to prevent legislation and scupper bills that would regulate it. Last year, lobbyists flooded UN-hosted talks to derail the global plastics treaty to tackle plastic pollution. A post-Brexit Britain has separated itself from EU regulations on plastic. “The EU has been far from perfect, but they are the most aggressive regulator, both of these chemicals coming from plastics and of single use plastics,” Gardiner says. The US, she says, is “a whole other story”.

There is, she says, “zero prospect for any kind of effective regulation of plastics under the Trump administration. Every environmental regulation is going backwards.” In the US, there has been local and state level action, such as in California, which has just extended its ban on plastic bags to include the thicker “bag for life” types, and laws to make plastic producers — rather than the taxpaying public — responsible for the life cycle of their products.

There have also been the campaigns by communities and individuals, such as the 30-year fight by Diane Wilson, who took on the plastics giant Formosa, which was contaminating the Texas coast with plastic pellets. In Europe, there’s the current battle against the building of what will be the continent’s biggest plastics plant, in Antwerp. The way the industry retaliates against even the smallest actions shows how worried it is about the potential for knock-on impact, Gardiner says (she writes about the pressure applied to a small town in Arizona which tried to enact a bag ban). “That tells you that those actions matter. It’s hard to see very much optimism now on any environmental issue in the US, but there’s possibility for it.”

And the West is starting to have to deal with its own mess. In 2018, China banned the import of waste, including plastic. “There is this global cat and mouse game where the waste just ends up going somewhere else and it’s a very opaque industry,” Gardiner says. But other countries, such as Indonesia, are also banning the import of our plastic. “There are more recycling plants and incinerators being built in the UK and around Europe. In the UK, a lot of it ends up getting burned. I see these trucks go by because there’s an incinerator nearby, they have this branding on the side, ‘waste to energy’ or something, and you’re supposed to think, ‘Great!’ But they’re burning it.” This creates electricity, but also huge carbon emissions and toxic gases (the plants are usually built in deprived areas).

Gardiner still carries her reusable shopping bags, and water bottle. “They do matter, but I’ve shifted my focus. What I’m trying to do with this book is to help people look away from the personal and more towards the political because that is where the difference is to be made.”

The thing is, a world before plastic is within living memory, and returning to aspects of it is hardly like going back to the stone age. “You only have to look back to our grandparents’ time, or even our parents’ time. We can use much less plastic without using no plastic, and that is unpicking another industry talking point — they will talk up the environmental benefits, that it’s part of solar panels, and it helps to make cars lighter so they’re more fuel-efficient, and do you want to live in a world with no hygienic syringes? It’s important to challenge that framing, because some of those things are true and we can keep the uses that are essential, but it doesn’t mean that we have to accept this tide of junk. We don’t have to look too far back into our collective memory to see ways that we could live that are less wasteful. It’s not impossible, because it existed.”

Modi’s chaotic AI Summit showed India’s clout and constraintsHigh-profile dropouts and logistical hitches could not mask India’s growing influence as it bids to become the tech alternative to the US-China duopoly

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi made his pitch this week that India can play a leading role in the artificial intelligence boom with a conference featuring tech stars from around the world. It suffered more than a few hitches.

Nvidia Corp CEO Jensen Huang (黃仁勳) dropped out after early promotion; Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates withdrew later. Many attendees ran into trouble just getting into the grand Bharat Mandapam venue in New Delhi on Monday and logistics remained an ordeal all week. Mukesh Ambani, Asia’s richest man, had so much trouble getting through security that his speech — announcing the biggest deal of the India AI Impact Summit — was delayed.

Even so, Modi gave a forceful demonstration of the country’s influence. He gathered many of the most prominent names in the tech industry, including the chief executives of Alphabet Inc, OpenAI and Anthropic PBC, as well as the India-born CEOs of global corporate icons like FedEx Corp. The prime day of the summit was so jam-packed that celebrity leaders like Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman were allocated a mere five to 12 minutes each.

“It’s one thing to say you’re the leader of the Global South and it’s another to come across as the leader of the Global South,” said Reema Bhattacharya, head of Asia risk insights at advisory firm Verisk Maplecroft. “They’ve achieved what they wanted to achieve.”

The event mixed moments of genuine promise with evidence of India’s constraints as the global AI race accelerates. Similar to US President Donald Trump, Modi is able to elicit effusive praise and big promises from industry and government leaders, with Ambani pledging US$110 billion for building out artificial intelligence projects across India over the next seven years.

Speakers constantly praised the prime minister for his leadership and referred to him in the honorific, Shri Narendra Modi Ji.

However, the country still lags in high-end computing infrastructure that is necessary to build frontier large language models such as those produced by Silicon Valley companies or the coterie of Chinese upstarts that now sit atop many AI benchmark lists. Even the most efficient AI systems require tens of billions of dollars to build and operate, in a capital-intensive contest that US Big Tech in recent weeks escalated with plans for US$650 billion in new spending this year.

Modi used the summit to argue for a model of AI development that sits in the middle lane between the corporate-led ecosystem of the US and state-backed China push. At the summit’s busiest day, inclusion and human-centered design took center stage.

“We have talent, energy capacity and policy clarity,” Modi said in Hindi, translated via AI into various languages. “AI is like GPS. It can show the direction, but where we want to go must be decided by us.”

He positioned India as the tech leader of the Global South — emerging economies, often previously colonized — that are eager to deploy AI but wary of aligning with one tech bloc or another. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres reinforced that message, as did French President Emmanuel Macron, who sat alongside Modi at the gala with the ease of a longtime friend.

“The future of AI cannot be decided by a handful of countries or left to the whims of a few billionaires,” Guterres said.

The unifying message was that countries beyond the US and China want to be more than potential markets for AI companies. They want access to the best technologies, influence over regulation and the opportunity to share in the potential profits.

“India is trying to sort of set its terms,” Bhattacharya said. “The risk is India becoming this data colony for big tech where the proprietary, the value-added services are done elsewhere.”

One advantage the country has is the deep expertise of IT service firms like Tata Consultancy Services Ltd and Infosys Ltd, leaders in helping the world’s corporations adopt new technologies like cloud computing and mobile services. They are now working with partners like Anthrophic and OpenAI to use their armies of consultants to help companies figure out how to use AI.

Tata Group chairman Natarajan Chandrasekaran said on stage he sees the integration of AI and AI agents as a big opportunity for IT providers because of their understanding of the needs and opportunities for large-scale customers.

The Tata Group, maker of Jaguar Land Rover SUVs, said this week that it will partner with OpenAI to create as much as 1 gigawatt in data center capacity.

While India has not had a national AI champion to compete with the world’s leaders, an Indian startup called Sarvam used the spotlight of the summit to launch its own AI model, tailored from the ground up for use in the South Asian nation. The service is voice-based and accessible through nearly two dozen Indian languages, which the company believes will be a competitive advantage in a country of 1.45 billion where the vast majority cannot read, write or type in English.

“Sovereignty matters much more in AI than building the biggest models,” co-founder Vivek Raghavan said at an event in Delhi.

Another embarrassing incident came when a private university was booted out of the AI exhibition after it allegedly misrepresented a Chinese-made robot dog as its own product. The creator of that machine, Hangzhou Yushu Technology Co (杭州宇樹科技), better known as Unitree Robotics, meanwhile was wowing viewers of the Lunar New Year TV gala with its latest humanoids performing acrobatics with humanlike fluidity.

India might not be able to match the US or China in the spending required for AI development, but it was clear that Modi’s conference tapped into a deep undercurrent of angst around the way this once-in-a-generation technology is evolving. In countries beyond the two giants, business and political leaders see the risk that they will end up at the mercy of US or Chinese tech giants — or worse at the mercy of Washington or Beijing. They want an alternative to that bleak future.

CONFUSION: Taiwan, Japan and other big exporters are cautiously monitoring the situation, while analysts said more Trump responses ate likely after his loss in court   By Selena Li and Ben Blanchard / Reuters and Bloomberg, HONG KONG and TAIPEI

US trading partners in Asia started weighing fresh uncertainties yesterday after President Donald Trump vowed to impose a new tariff on imports, hours after the Supreme Court struck down many of the sweeping levies he used to launch a global trade war.

The court’s ruling invalidated a number of tariffs that the Trump administration had imposed on Asian export powerhouses from China and South Korea to Japan and Taiwan, the world’s largest chip maker and a key player in tech supply chains.

Within hours, Trump said he would impose a new 10 percent duty on US imports from all countries starting on Tuesday for an initial 150 days under a different law, prompting analysts to warn that more measures could follow, threatening more confusion for businesses and investors.

In Japan, a government spokesman said Tokyo “will carefully examine the content of this ruling and the Trump administration’s response to it, and respond appropriately.”

China, which is preparing to host Trump late next month, has yet to formally comment or launch any counter moves with the country on an extended holiday. But a senior financial official in China-ruled Hong Kong described the US situation as a “fiasco.”

Hong Kong Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury Christopher Hui (許正宇) said Trump’s new levy served to underscore Hong Kong’s “unique trade advantages.”

“This shows the stability of Hong Kong’s policies and our certainty ... it shows global investors the importance of predictability,” Hui said at a media briefing yesterday when asked how the new US tariff’s would affect the city’s economy.

Hong Kong operates as a separate customs territory from mainland China, a status that has shielded it from direct exposure to US tariffs targeting Chinese goods.

While Washington has imposed duties on mainland exports, Hong Kong-made products have generally faced lower tariff rates, allowing the city to maintain trade flows even as Sino-US tensions have escalated.

Before the Supreme Court’s ruling, Trump’s tariff push had strained Washington’s diplomatic relations across Asia, particularly for export-reliant economies integrated into US-bound supply chains.

Friday’s ruling concerns only the tariffs launched by Trump on the basis of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA, intended for national emergencies.

Trade policy monitor Global Trade Alert estimated that by itself, the ruling cuts the trade-weighted average US tariff almost in half from 15.4 percent to 8.3 percent.

For those countries on higher US tariff levels, the change is more dramatic. For China, Brazil and India, it will mean double-digit percentage point cuts, albeit to still-high levels.

In Taiwan, the government said it was monitoring the situation closely, noting that the US government had yet to determine how to fully implement its trade deals with many countries.

“While the initial impact on Taiwan appears limited, the government will closely monitor developments and maintain close communication with the US to understand specific implementation details and respond appropriately,” a Cabinet statement said.

Taiwan has signed two recent deals with the US — one was a Memorandum of Understanding last month that committed Taiwan to invest US$250 billion and the second was signed this month to lowering reciprocal tariffs.

Analysts said that the Supreme Court’s ruling against Trump’s more aggressive tariff measures might offer little relief for the global economy. They warned of looming confusion as trading nations brace for moves by Trump to find other means of using levies to circumvent the ruling.

Thailand’s Trade Policy and Strategy Office head Nantapong Chiralerspong said the ruling might even benefit its exports as uncertainty drove a fresh round of “front loading,” where shippers race to move goods to the US, fearing even higher tariffs.

In corporate disclosures tracked by Reuters, firms across the Asia-Pacific region reported financial hits, supply shifts and withdrawals as levies escalated through last year and early this year.

South Korea said the US Supreme Court ruling would not derail its broader trade agreement with Washington.

South Korean Industry Minister Kim Jung-kwan held an emergency meeting yesterrday to assess the decision. The ruling renders void the 15 percent reciprocal tariff currently applied to South Korean goods, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Resources said in a statement.

“Although the ruling has heightened uncertainty over exports to the US, the overall framework of export conditions secured under the Korea-US tariff agreement will remain intact,” Kim said, pledging a full-scale response to protect national interests and Korean companies.

Sectoral tariffs on automobiles and steel, imposed under separate laws, remain in place, and are unaffected by the court’s decision, the ministry said.

Seoul said it would closely monitor Washington’s follow-up measures, while continuing talks on the implementation of last year’s trade agreement.

The ruling comes against an already fragile tariff backdrop between Seoul and Washington. The US imposed a 15 percent tariff on South Korean imports, including autos, under a deal that features a US$350 billion investment commitment. Trump last month also warned of a possible tariff increase, citing delays in South Korean legislation needed to implement the pledge.

The presidential Blue House said it would comprehensively review the court ruling and the US government’s position, and would proceed in a direction that best serves the national interest.

Seoul said it would monitor US developments on potential refunds of the now-voided reciprocal tariffs and work with business groups to support affected companies.


title: Which tariffs did the Supreme Court strike down?

content_text:
The US’ highest court struck down some of US President Donald Trump’s most sweeping tariffs on Friday, in a 6-3 decision that he overstepped his authority when using an emergency powers law to justify new taxes on goods from nearly every country in the world.

Trump has launched a barrage of new tariffs over the last year. Despite Friday’s ruling, many sectoral levies remain in place — and the president has already said that he’ll turn to other options for more import taxes, including plans to impose a new 10 percent tariff globally. But the Supreme Court decision upends a core set of tariffs that Trump rolled out using the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA.

IEEPA authorizes the president to broadly regulate commerce after declaring a national emergency. Over the years, presidents have turned to this law dozens of times, often to place sanctions on other countries, but Trump was the first to use it to implement tariffs.

Here’s a look at the now-overturned tariffs Trump imposed using IEEPA — and other levies that still stand today.

Trump used IEEPA to slap import taxes on nearly every country in the world last spring. On April 2, which Trump called Liberation Day, he imposed “reciprocal” tariffs of up to 50 percent on goods from dozens of countries — and a baseline 10 percent tariff on just about everyone else.

The 10 percent tax kicked in early April. But the bulk of Liberation Day’s higher levies got delayed by several months, and many rates were revised over time (in some cases after new “framework” agreements). Most went into effect Aug. 7.

The national emergency underlying these tariffs, Trump argued at the time, was the long-running gap between what the US sells and what it buys from the rest of the world. Still, goods from countries with which the US runs a trade surplus also faced taxes.

Major trading partners impacted by Liberation Day tariffs include South Korea, Japan and the EU — which combined export a range of products to the US, like electronics, cars and car parts and pharmaceuticals. Following trade talks, Trump’s rates on most goods stood at 15 percent for the EU, Japan and South Korea ahead of Friday. But just last month, Trump threatened to hike levies on certain South Korean products to 25 percent — and countries worldwide still face sector-specific, non-IEEPA tariffs.

At the start of his second term, Trump used IEEPA to impose new tariffs on the US’ three biggest trading partners: Mexico, Canada and China.

To justify these tariffs, Trump declared a national emergency ostensibly over undocumented immigration and the trafficking of drugs like fentanyl and the chemicals made to use it. The levies were first announced at the start of February 2025, but went into effect over time — and were at times delayed, reduced or heightened through further retaliation.

Ahead of Friday’s decision, “trafficking tariffs” on Canadian and Mexican imports were 35 percent and 25 percent, respectively, for goods that don’t comply with the 2020 United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. China, meanwhile, faced a 10 percent fentanyl-related tariff. That’s down from 20 percent imposed by Trump earlier last year. Chinese goods also once saw sky-high levies after Liberation Day, but rates had since come down during trade talks.

Top US imports from China include mobile phones and other electronics, as well as clothing, toys and household appliances. Meanwhile, Canada and Mexico are both major sources of cars and auto parts. Canada is also the US’s largest supplier of crude oil. And Mexico is a key exporter of fresh produce, beverages and more.

Trump also used IEEPA to slap steep import taxes on Brazilian imports over the summer, citing the country’s policies and criminal prosecution of former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro.

Brazil already faced Trump’s 10 percent baseline Liberation Day rate. The Bolsonaro-related duties added another 40 percent, bringing total levies to 50 percent on many products ahead of Friday.

The US has actually run a consistent trade surplus with Brazil over the years, but top exports from the country include manufactured products, crude oil and agricultural products like soybeans and sugar.

India has faced additional IEEPA tariffs, too. After Liberation Day, Trump slapped a 25 percent levy on Indian imports — and later added another 25 percent for the country’s purchases of Russian oil, while also citing the emergency powers law, bringing the total to 50 percent.

Earlier this month, the US and India reached a trade framework deal. Trump said Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi agreed to stop buying Russian oil, and that he planned to lower US tariffs on its ally to 18 percent. Meanwhile, India said it would “eliminate or reduce tariffs” on all US industrial goods and a range of agricultural products.

India’s top exports to the US include pharmaceuticals, precious stones, clothing and textiles.

Despite the Supreme Court knocking down sweeping import taxes Trump imposed with IEEPA, most countries still face steep tariffs from the US on specific sectors.

Citing national security threats, Trump has used another law — Section 232 of the 1962 Trade Expansion Act — to slap levies on steel, aluminum, cars, copper and lumber worldwide. He began to roll out even more Section 232 tariffs in September, on kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities and upholstered furniture.

Amid pressure to lower rising prices, Trump has rolled back some of his tariffs recently. Beyond trade frameworks, that’s included adding exemptions to specific levies and scrapping import taxes for goods like coffee, tropical fruit and beef.

Still, Trump has threatened more sectoral levies are on the way. And following Friday’s decision, he said that he would sign an executive order to enact a 10 percent global tariff — using another federal law, known as Section 122. Those tariffs would be limited to just 150 days, unless they are extended legislatively.

REACTION:  Canada said the Supreme Court decision proves the levies were unjustified, while the UK said it expects its ‘privileged trading position with the US to continue’

US trading partners on Friday cautiously welcomed a Supreme Court ruling striking down US President Donald Trump’s sweeping global tariffs, with hard-hit Canada saying the levies were always “unjustified.”

However, soon after the decision was announced, Trump vowed to impose a 10 percent tariff on all imports into the US under a separate authority.

While the conservative-majority Supreme Court ruled that Trump was not authorized by the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose tariffs, the ruling does not impact sector-specific duties that Trump has imposed on imports of steel, aluminum and various other goods.

Governments were weighing how all this this would impact commerce with the world’s largest economy, which has been transformed through Trump’s use of executive authority since he took office a year ago.

Here is a look at how governments around the world have reacted:

CANADA

Canada said on Friday that the US Supreme Court decision striking down many of President Donald Trump’s tariffs proves the levies were “unjustified,” but added the trade measures causing Canadians the most pain remained in force.

Canada was largely spared from IEEPA levies, as Trump has broadly adhered to tariff exemptions under the existing North American free trade agreement.

However, sector-specific measures affecting industries like steel, aluminum and autos remain in place despite Friday’s ruling.

Canadian Minister for International Trade Dominic LeBlanc said businesses impacted by those measures still need “support.”

LeBlanc also promised Canada would continue working with the US “to create growth and opportunities on both sides of the border.”

The Canadian Chamber of Commerce cautioned against viewing Friday’s court ruling as “a reset of US trade policy.”

“Canada should prepare for new, blunter mechanisms to be used to reassert trade pressure, potentially with broader and more disruptive effects,” chamber president Candace Laing said in a statement.

EUROPEAN UNION

EU trade spokesman Olof Gill said that the 27-nation bloc was closely analyzing the ruling.

“We remain in close contact with the US Administration as we seek clarity on the steps they intend to take in response to this ruling,” he said, stressing need for “stability and predictability” in trade.

French Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Energy Sovereignty Roland Lescure said the ruling showed that tariffs are “at the very least, open to debate.”

The German government said it was in “close contact with the US government to obtain clarifications on the next steps.”

German industry group BDI was upbeat, with board member Wolfgang Niedermark saying the ruling was “clear proof that the separation of powers in the USA is still going strong.”

UNITED KINGDOM

Britain’s government said that it expects its “privileged trading position with the US to continue.”

The close allies reached a trade deal in May last year that lifted tariffs on UK steel and aluminum products and slashed levies on British car exports from 27.5 percent to 10 percent.

“We will work with the administration to understand how the ruling will affect tariffs for the UK and the rest of the world,” a government spokesperson said.

MEXICO

Mexico, which sends 80 percent of its exports to the US, said it was studying the possible effects of the 10-percent general tariff that Trump announced after the court verdict.

“First, we’re going to see what measures they will take to determine how this will affect our country,” Mexican Secretary of Economy Marcelo Ebrard said.

Until the court decision, products that did not qualify for the USMCA exemption were taxed at 35 percent if from Canada and 25 percent if from Mexico.

For Mexico and Canada, the events provided more proof of the value of the tripartite trade deal, which was signed during Trump’s first term. But the president’s frustration over the court’s decision also raises the risk he may try to radically alter or even blow up USMCA altogether in pursuit of the tariff revenue he wants.

US President Donald Trump plans to travel to China from March 31 to April 2 for a meeting with his counterpart Xi Jinping (習近平) as the two leaders look to navigate a trade relationship again plunged into uncertainty and navigate tensions around Taiwan.

The planned meeting comes as the US Supreme Court on Friday moved to strike down sweeping US tariffs on exports, which seems certain to jumble the dynamics around efforts to extend a truce negotiated last year following months of tit-for-tat tariff escalations.

“I’m going to be going to China in April, that’s going to be a wild one,” Trump said on Thursday during the first meeting of the Board of Peace in Washington.

The US president said he expects a welcome that includes pomp and ceremony that surpasses his visit to Beijing in 2017 during his first term.

“President Xi, he treated me so well, he gave me a display, I never saw so many soldiers all the same height, exactly the same height,” Trump said. “But I said, ‘You’ve got to top it.’ He said, ‘I’ll top it. We’re going to top it.’”

Trump has said he also expects to welcome Xi to Washington later this year, and the Chinese president is expected to attend a meeting of the G20 in Florida.

It is a marked change from the dynamic between the US and China early last year, when a series of tit-for-tat tariff hikes and export curbs rattled global financial markets and raised fears of an economic downturn. Following months of talks, Trump and Xi reached a one-year agreement in October to lower duties and export restrictions.

Beijing’s main objective in the upcoming talks is extending that truce and officials are likely to push for further tariff rollbacks and an easing of restrictions on the shipment of advanced artificial-intelligence chips, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, citing unnamed people close to the Chinese government.

Friday’s tariff ruling will likely strengthen Beijing’s hand and could make Trump’s expected asks for large quantities of soybean purchases, Boeing Co aircraft, and energy exports a tougher sell.

Narrowing trade deficits have been a persistent focus of Trump. The US’ annual shortfall with China shrank in 2025 to about US$202 billion — a 21-year low, according to US Commerce Department data.

Simmering political tensions — including around Taiwan and US moves in South America — also threaten to intrude on any detente. Xi told Trump in a phone call this month that Beijing would never allow Taiwan to be separated and warned the US should handle arms sales to Taipei with “utmost caution,” according to the Chinese government.

Washington approved a package of arms sales to Taiwan worth as much as US$11 billion in December, and the foreign ministry in Taipei said the US has continued its policy of normalizing arms sales to Taiwan. The December announcement drew swift condemnation from Beijing, though Xi stopped short of demanding Trump halt the sales altogether.

title: US retain mixed team aerials gold as China miss title

The US yesterday won gold in the Olympics freestyle skiing mixed team final, retaining their 2022 title, while Switzerland won silver and favorites China claimed bronze.

The US stormed to victory after failing to reach the podium in this week’s women’s and men’s finals, where China took golds through husband-and-wife couple Wang Xindi and Xu Mengtao.

The winning US team included Kaila Kuhn, gold medalist at last year’s world championships in women’s and mixed team aerials, who finished fifth in Wednesday’s Olympic women’s final.

Her teammates were Christopher Lillis and Connor Curran, who were eighth and 12th respectively in the men’s final on Friday.

The US scored 325.35 out of a possible total of 450. The Swiss team, including men’s silver medalist Noe Roth, got 296.91 points, while China posted 279.68.

The contest in the alpine resort of Livigno took place in overcast and snowy conditions affecting visibility in an added challenge for athletes.

The Chinese medal bid was spoiled by mistakes from Wang and Li Tianma, the bronze medalist in the men’s, who both crashed on landing after high-difficulty jumps.

Aerials is a gravity-defying discipline that has been part of the Winter Games since 1994 for men’s and women’s events and from 2022 for mixed teams.

Athletes jump off a near vertical ramp, launching themselves in the air and performing complex aerobatics, reaching speeds of up to more than 65kph.

They are judged on height, distance, style, degree of difficulty and landing, with a maximum score of 150 for each jump.

In mixed teams, male and female athletes compete together, with each country fielding three contestants. Their individual scores are added up for an overall total.
