good morning

Pu San is a tool,

Big system without cutting

Today in history:248 years ago today, the "Prince of Mathematics" Gauss was born. He solved the millennium geometry puzzle of the regular heptagon and used the least squares method to capture the trajectory of Ceres. When this era of algorithmic alienation quantifies human nature as data points, Gauss's revelation is like a conformal mapping on the Riemann surface: true reason is no longer cold calculation, but a deep gaze at the true order of the world - seeing hidden symmetries in chaos and discovering continuous beauty in dispersion.

Political Dynamics

01India suspends implementation of the Indus River Water Treaty

India suspends the Indus River Treaty and demands that Pakistan stop supporting cross-border terrorism. This move will directly affect 75% of Pakistan's agricultural water use, potentially leading to a 30% reduction in food production and endangering the food security of 220 million people.

Qingqiao's viewpoint:

In order to resolve the water source dispute after the partition of India and Pakistan, the two sides signed the Indus River Water Treaty in 1960 under the mediation of the World Bank, dividing the Indus River system into two parts: India controls the three tributaries in the east (Ravi, Biyas, and Sutlej rivers), while Pakistan gains sovereignty over the three rivers in the west (the main Indus River, Jhelum, and Chenab rivers).
Recently, a scenic area in Indian controlled Kashmir was attacked, resulting in 26 deaths, making it the worst civilian attack in 20 years. India accuses Pakistan of supporting armed militants.
India's cutting off of water sources as a response to terrorist attacks on civilians in Kashmir, ostensibly for the reasons of "security" and "counter-terrorism", actually constitutes collective punishment of civilians and creates multiple paradoxes between humanitarian and security logic. This behavior creates an irreconcilable contradiction between protecting civilians and depriving them of their basic right to survival, ultimately leading to strategic and ethical dilemmas.

Military strategy and tactics

01The Syrian government has reached a historic agreement with Kurdish armed groups

The Syrian government has signed a historic agreement with Kurdish armed groups, which includes a comprehensive ceasefire and the integration of Kurdish armed groups into the government army; Kurdish controlled border ports, airports, and oil fields will be transferred to central jurisdiction by the end of the year; Safeguarding the language and cultural rights of Kurdish people.

Qingqiao's viewpoint:

Kurds are the fourth largest ethnic group in the Middle East, with about 30 million people, mainly distributed in the border areas of Türkiye, Syria, Iraq and Iran. During the Assad government in Syria (1970-2024), the use and dissemination of Kurdish language and culture were long prohibited.
The Syrian Kurdish armed group was established in 2014 with the support of the United States and is an important force in the fight against the extremist organization "Islamic State" in Syria. The armed group currently controls a large area of northeastern Syria and holds approximately 80% of Syria's oil resources.
The oil reserves controlled by the Kurdish region in Syria reach 2.5 billion barrels, enough to repay 60% of Syria's foreign debt. The Kurdish trade of oil fields for "cultural freedom" is essentially a helpless compromise under the suppression of power, reflecting the structural dilemma of minority groups in the nation-state system. The "tragedy" of this choice lies not only in the inequality of its transaction itself, but also in how it reveals how the "autonomous fantasy" is fragmented into concessions in real politics, ultimately unable to escape the fate of being dominated.

Economic Observation

01Malaysian coffee brand ZUS accelerates expansion

Malaysian coffee brand ZUS plans to open 200 new stores in Southeast Asia this year, with a focus on Malaysia, the Philippines, and Singapore. ZUS surpassed Starbucks early last year to become the largest chain coffee shop brand in Malaysia.

Qingqiao's viewpoint:

ZUS was founded in 2019 and initially focused on coffee delivery. During the pandemic, it quickly rose to prominence.
After the conflict broke out, Starbucks was boycotted by Malaysian Muslims due to its national identity.
Regional brands can challenge international giants' standardized products through "local supply chain+health narrative", especially in the food and beverage industry, where flavor localization is the key to breakthrough.

safety warning

01The United States restores Thailand's highest aviation safety level

Qingqiao's viewpoint:

The aviation safety level is the rating of civil aviation safety standards by the International Civil Aviation Organization or national aviation management agencies, divided into two levels: the first level meets international standards and can freely open international routes; At the second level, the operation of its airlines will be structurally limited and can only maintain the frequency of existing flight routes.
In 2015, due to a shortage of technical officials and a lack of certification for dangerous goods transportation, the International Civil Aviation Organization downgraded Thailand's aviation safety level to "Category 2". The FAA's "Category 2 rating" caused Bangkok Airport to lose $24 billion in potential transit revenue over a decade, but prompted it to establish the strictest pilot alcohol testing system in Asia (with an error rate of 0.001%).
89% of global aviation accidents occur in countries with "Class I ratings", and a dynamic rating mechanism should be established to replace rigid identities in aviation safety ratings.

Financial News

In April, foreign investors bought JPY9.64 trillion of Japanese stock treasury bond, a record high, of which 43% were negative yield products.

Qingqiao's viewpoint:

The buying of negative yield Japanese bonds is essentially a derivative strategy of exchanging bond losses for exchange rate profits. As global attention focuses on the AI frenzy in the US stock market, a 'cold war' around the yen has quietly begun between Tokyo and Wall Street. The ultimate outcome of this game may reshape the global capital flow map by 2025. Historical reference: In 1998, the Japanese yen surged by 25% in three months, and during the 2008 crisis, it appreciated by 10% in a single day.

Today's Sharp Review

The most dangerous arrogance of humanity is the belief that everything can be safely cut apart. When India uses cubic meters of water to calculate its geopolitical chips, and when the Kurds measure the future of their nation with oil reserves, we finally understand the profound meaning of Laozi's "big control does not cut": all attempts to dissect the essence of the world with rational blades are ultimately creating deeper cognitive gaps. Just like Gauss always maintained his reverence for the "incalculable part" of the universe when calculating the orbit of Ceres, true wisdom always exists in the protection of the whole.
