A light promise leads to a lack of trust, and how easy it is, how difficult it is










Today in history:164 years ago, the Eastern poet and philosopher Tagore was born. He nourished the dry soul with the holy nectar of Gitanjali, usingStray BirdsThe dewdrops reflect the eternal glimmer of life. His greatness lies not in casting the Bengali language into a golden cup to present to the West, but in proving that the true mark of civilization is the dialogue between the balcony and the stars at night, the lament of "being born like a summer flower" flowing between pages, and the gentle resistance of believing that "light will sprout in the darkness" even in the dark night.

Political Dynamics
01The French government proposes to merge or abolish one-third of government agencies


Qingqiao's viewpoint:

  • The budget deficit of the French public sector accounts for 5.4% of economic output. The Minister of Public Accounting, Monchalan, previously stated that the government will cut spending by 40 billion euros in the next fiscal year, with the goal of reducing the public sector budget deficit to 3% by 2029.
  • Since taking office, US President Trump has significantly streamlined federal agencies, shut down multiple departments, and left over 80000 civil servants. In February of this year, the Vietnamese government "downsized" by cutting 100000 civil servants.
  • The French government's plan to abolish one-third of its institutions appears to be a fiscal surgery to address the 5.4% budget deficit, but in reality, it is a structural conflict between the governance paradigm of industrial civilization and digital civilization. equalChatGPTWhen policy analysis reports can be generated in 3 seconds and blockchain can trace every fiscal flow, the pyramid shaped administrative system has revealed the cumbersome "dinosaur skeleton".

    Military strategy and tactics

    01Global military spending has increased to approximately $2.72 trillion

    According to the latest report from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute in Sweden, global military spending reached a new high of $2.72 trillion in 2024, a year-on-year increase of 9.4%, achieving ten consecutive years of growth and a cumulative increase of 37%.


    Among them, the total military expenditure of NATO member countries has exceeded 1.5 trillion US dollars, accounting for 55% of the global total; Military spending in the Middle East has surged by 15% to $243 billion; Military spending in Asia and Oceania reached $629 billion, the largest increase since 2009.


    Qingqiao's viewpoint:

    • These soaring expenditures occur against the backdrop of the ongoing global pandemic trauma and the increasing threat of climate change, where humanity seems more willing to invest in the ability to mutually destroy rather than the wisdom of common survival. However, the more we pursue absolute security, the deeper our insecurity becomes. Perhaps what needs to be reflected upon is not 'how many weapons are needed to achieve safety', but 'how to avoid the need for these weapons'.

    Economic Observation

    01China's total nuclear power scale jumps to the world's first place for the first time


    Qingqiao's viewpoint:

    • Global wave of nuclear energy development: The United States plans to commercialize advanced nuclear energy by 2030 and achieve 200 million kilowatts of nuclear power installation by 2050; Russia plans to put 12 units into operation before 2035, with nuclear power accounting for 25% by 2045. More than 30 countries, including Poland, Türkiye and Saudi Arabia, have also launched nuclear power construction plans.

    • China's nuclear power installed capacity has jumped to the top in the world, marking a new stage of global energy power transfer. This is not only a transcendence of numbers, but also heralds the beginning of a new era characterized by "nuclear civilization" - as the fossil energy system gradually disintegrates with geopolitical conflicts, nuclear energy is reshaping the technological planning and international order of the 21st century.

    safety warning

    01Large scale power outages in Spain and Portugal

    Spain and Portugal experienced sudden large-scale power outages, affecting over 50 million people and causing paralysis of transportation, communication, medical and other systems. Spain has declared a national state of emergency, which the European Union has called one of the worst power outages in Europe in recent years.

    Qingqiao's viewpoint:

    • The power grids of Spain and Portugal are highly integrated and operate as energy islands, only connected to the French and European power grids through a small number of cross-border lines.
    • In mid April, the Spanish power grid achieved full day operation entirely relying on renewable energy for the first time.
    • When the Spanish power grid celebrated the glorious achievement of "100% Renewable Energy Day" in April, this dark moment affecting 50 million people sounded the alarm for the global energy transition. Power outages not only expose the technological vulnerability of the power grid, but also reveal the cognitive blind spots in the energy revolution - we are using the 20th century'sGrid architectureCarrying the energy dream of the 21st century. This major power outage is like the "coming of age pain" of the new energy civilization - it cruelly reminds us that the real energy transformation is not a technical game of changing power generation sources, but a genetic recombination of the entire social operating system.

    Financial News

    Singapore's fuel oil inventory increased by 1.239 million barrels, reaching 24.126 million barrels.

    Qingqiao's viewpoint:

    • Although dual fuel vessels account for 58% of global new shipbuilding orders in 2024 (Clarkson data), 83% of the existing fleet still relies on traditional fuel oil. Alternative fuels such as green methanol/LNG currently only meet 4.2% of global ship fuel demand, creating a supply redundancy of 'the future is here, not yet retired'. This inventory movement is essentially a microcosm of the "creative destruction" process of the global energy system: while capital fervently pursues the concept of green shipping, traditional energy systems are still operating according to the law of inertia. During this periodfriction costIt is being manifested in the form of abnormal inventory growth. Be alert to negative feedback from inventory prices, which may lead to regional price collapse.






    Today's Sharp Review

    This morning, we stand:


    Between the ruins of administrative reform and the holographic projection of digital government;Missile defense systemBetween the steel forest and the sandy land of public security; Between the wispy white smoke from the cooling tower of a nuclear power plant and the dark pit of ten thousand years of nuclear waste; Between the gilded words of carbon neutrality commitment and the dark reality of fuel oil storage tanks.


    Tagore once saw with poetic insight: "Faith is like a bird before dawn, sensing the pulse of light before the darkness fades away." And in 2025, what we need is not only the sensitivity to perceive light, but also the courage to create light, because ultimately, it is not light that chooses us, but we carve out the trajectory of light in chaos with every solid step we take.
