Andrew Sharp: 我认为中国利用所谓的产能过剩，例如太阳能电池板，作为一种策略，来应对气候变化挑战，并同时获得战略优势。这种做法虽然在一定程度上是出于善意，但也带来了安全隐患，因为如果全世界都转向依赖中国供应链的能源，将会产生严重的依赖性。美国应该从过去对石油和沙特阿拉伯的依赖中吸取教训，避免重蹈覆辙。中国在核电发展方面遥遥领先。 关于意大利番茄产业受到中国廉价番茄酱冲击的新闻，也反映出中国出口产业的规模和多样性。 针对中国近期发生的暴力袭击事件，中国政府采取了审查和压制哀悼行为的措施，这反映出中国政府对社会稳定的担忧。这些事件的动机复杂，可能与个人经济困境、社会不满等因素有关。 Bill Bishop: 中国番茄酱的低廉价格对意大利番茄产业构成不正当竞争，引发了意大利方面的担忧。中国番茄产量巨大，约占全球产量的23%。这反映出中国出口产业的规模和多样性令人印象深刻。 针对中国近期发生的暴力袭击事件，中国政府的回应包括审查、压制哀悼以及对潜在风险人群的干预。政府将利用基层组织加强社会监控和风险干预，以识别和应对潜在的社会风险。这些事件可能损害公众对政府的信任，从而影响社会稳定。佩鸣欣的《哨兵之国》一书探讨了中国政府的监控和社会控制机制。

From there: Xi Jinping's message to APEC and the charm offensive planned for a Trump administration, China's calculus amid global climate initiatives, and extended thoughts on the recent mass casualties events around China and likely party responses. At the end: An update on the Trump transition, Howard Lutnick is picked to run the Commerce Department, and Apple and Google's calculus with respect to the TikTok law.
