Qingqiao's viewpoint:
The decision of Switzerland to impose a ban on Hamas marks a profound transformation of its neutral policy. As a global financial center, Switzerland manages approximately 2.5 trillion francs in cross-border assets (according to the Bank for International Settlements). The ban is essentially a necessary measure to build a financial firewall.
01The US military plans to invest heavily in unmanned aerial vehicle equipment
The US military is advancing its largest reform since the end of the Cold War, with plans to equip each combat division with approximately 1000 drones. If the plan is implemented, its 10 active combat divisions will shift to unmanned aerial vehicle operations on a large scale for reconnaissance, transportation of materials, and strike missions.
Qingqiao's viewpoint:
Drones have shone brightly on the Russian Ukrainian battlefield, with low prices, the ability to cluster attacks to break through defenses, and real-time video feedback, making it difficult to hide on the battlefield. Not long ago, a Ukrainian maritime drone shot down a Russian fighter jet for the first time.
The large-scale military application of drone swarms marks a paradigm shift in human warfare from "steel duels" to "algorithmic games". The core of this transformation lies in the shift of battlefield dominance from traditional firepower advantages to data computing advantages.
01North Korea exports 1500 laborers to Russia
Qingqiao's viewpoint:
In order to sanction North Korea's research on nuclear weapons, the United Nations Security Council banned countries from hiring North Korean overseas workers in 2019.
In recent years, the relationship between Moscow and Pyongyang has deepened, with data showing that the number of North Korean laborers entering Russia last year was 12 times that of the previous year. The North Korean laborers entering Russia are mainly concentrated in the Far East region, which borders North Korea and is also an area that Russian President Putin has long hoped to create as an industrial base. The area is rich in timber, minerals, and oil.
This incident is essentially a geopolitical exploration of a "gray area": when one of the five permanent members of the United Nations openly evades Security Council resolutions, it not only weakens the authority of international sanctions, but also indicates that the multilateral framework is being torn apart by the game of major powers. The sound of North Korean laborers' axes and chisels in the forests of the Far East may be a warning signal of the loosening of the current international order.
01Thailand reports first anthrax death in decades
Thailand reports its first anthrax death in decades and confirms at least638 people are suspected to be infected, of which 36 have participated in livestock slaughter, and the rest have fallen ill due to consuming undercooked beef. All patients are receiving antibiotic treatment, and an investigation into the source of infection has been initiated.
Qingqiao's viewpoint:
Anthrax is a contagious disease among animals such as cows, horses, and sheep caused by Bacillus anthracis. It can also be transmitted to humans through skin contact, respiration, or dietary intake. After infection, people may experience symptoms such as skin pustules and difficulty breathing, which can be fatal in severe cases, but it will not spread between people.
Thailand has had no new deaths since three people died from anthrax in 1994; Laos reports 129 infections and 1 death in 2024; Vietnam confirmed 13 cases in May 2023.
Those forgotten zoonotic diseases are quietly resurfacing through ancient pathways such as the food chain and occupational exposure. The fact that anthrax bacteria can remain dormant in soil for decades reminds us that in the world of microorganisms, humans are temporary visitors.
Qingqiao's viewpoint:
Photovoltaic glass is a special building glass that integrates solar cells, can transmit light for power generation, and encapsulates and protects battery components. It has dual functions of power generation and building materials, and is an important material in the stage of new energy transformation. The industry's gross profit margin has fallen below the 10% red line, indicating that photovoltaic glass companies are approaching the critical point of "production equals loss". The collective profit warning for the photovoltaic glass industry in 2024 reflects the deep adjustment that the new energy industry chain is undergoing: the scissors gap between capacity expansion and slowing demand, the cost dilemma caused by technological iteration, and the reshuffling and redistribution of industry chain profits.
