译文
你好,我是 Philip 目前在北京,这里你可以听到中国觉得自己外交做得还不错。
可能并不是字面上的,然而,确实非常扎实的一步,总的来说,是让美国略显逊色了。
美国和中国的“东边日出西边雨”格局,中国国家领导人习近平以及秘鲁方代表 Dina Bolurate 最近在利马开展对话,习近平表示,北京希望有一天能改变南美与亚洲的贸易。
主要困难是
亚马逊丛林、安第斯山脉这些天然障碍,他们挡住了 Chancay Port(钱凯港),正好阻碍了港口直接从“南美农产品出口”变现的贸易路线,特别是巴西。然而,这些设备(到位),只是中国期待加强和南美贸易往来
的缩影,以及也已经变成美国总统选举的目标之一。
streak 条纹
epitomizes 使得变成缩影
hot streak 连续得分
01 中国连续得分
中国国家主席习近平来到秘鲁参加 G20 会议,正式表达中国是国际贸易系统的坚决捍卫者,这点与特朗普形成鲜明对比,后者被称为“关税人(Tariff man)”。
他还似乎抵挡了特朗普发出的攻击性言论,采取和拜登会面会谈方式,习近平坚定地摆出中国红线。与此同时,还留了机会给到双边发展友谊。进一步了解,请关注彭博。
一组 APEC 组图,参会国家领导人们,完美展示了其风采,中国似乎很满意。在这其中,他站在中间前排,自然笑着,同时,拜登显得有些潜伏在角落了。但没关系,这是按照字母排序的,照片也是很好的隐喻,显示
中国持续增长的影响力,以及持续增长的和发展中国家的关系。
lurk in the back corner 潜伏在角落
然后,习近平来到巴西,参加 G20 峰会,他再次划出美国和中国之间的红线,敦促领导人们“反对单边主义、保护主义”。
中国国家主席最近不平静,主要是和发达国家关系 —— 这一点被英国总理 Keir 强调,他在角落提出了人权问题、台湾问题、以及港媒大亨 Jimmy Lai 的审判。
然而,习近平拨通阿根廷 Javier 的电话,同意在一些领域深化双边合作。这样的欢乐友好氛围,在不久之前都不敢想。因为 Milei 可能停滞激怒特朗普。听一听 Podcast,在彭博了解更多。
bonhomie 欢乐友好的感觉
wind up irking 停止激怒
尽管中国面临很多挑战,主要是为应对特朗普的,使得经济复苏,以及处理好和欧洲官方关系,欧洲已经为中国支持俄罗斯而有所不满。这点赢得了南美,仍有很多能够获得中国支持的。

华为,引申开就是中国,已然触到了他们理想的路障,即生产更多高质量芯片,用于 AI 产品和智能手机 —— 以及他们足以指责美国。
科技公司计划用这些芯片,制造下一代的处理器 —— 答案指向英伟达主宰的加速器领域 —— 大约 7nm 架构是主流,依据多年来数据,人们已经习惯这个架构了。
同时,明年台湾半导体生产商 —— 芯片制造商苹果、英伟达 —— 将要推出奇怪的 2nm 芯片,这已经是领跑第三代了。阅读更多关于华为芯片制造的新闻。
华为其实在这个技术上是落后的,因为美国领导的限制,组织华为的芯片制造进行合伙,方法就是使得他们放手自己非常擅长的、巧夺天工的芯片生产系统,系统从 ASML 引来。阅读这场战役的解释,关于半导体的。
华为将有一场战役。
这意味着,华为的半导体技术,将会在老化的技术问题上停滞,至少要干旋到 2026 年,人们说到。他们还会请求保持不被识别(认可)的讨论,内容是个敏感的项目内容。
这一展示位,暗示着不仅仅是为了华为,更是为了中国的 AI 梦想。最主要,华为的主要产品合伙人,国际半导体制造商邮箱公司,已然开始挣扎了,因为试图大量生产甚至是 7nm 的方式。还有种方式,坐落在上海的
。。。
华为挣扎着显示这几年以来遇到的不合理事件,记录了封锁中国技术进出口之后首次成功,剥夺其国家级冠军的机会,表达感谢机会来自于“毕业”到下一阶段这件事。
回到 2023 年,华为经常揭示其 MATE PRO 产品,这是一款智能手机,还有自己设计的 7nm 芯片,中芯国际设计制造生产。值得一提,信息来自于商务秘书 Gina,主要促进交易,常驻北京。
这些其实封顶了他们的技术资质,我们望一眼中国大众就知道,以及销量也增长了,需求强劲。
然而,华为一项指标显示悲伤,即他们对于即将到来的旗舰版智能手机的处理器总是保持缄默,相较于 MATE Pro,这件事浮现得有点慢了。
华为计划下周揭示 MATE 70。然而,华为完全没机会为其硬件做广告,只要其本周开始接受订单。
习近平已然推动中国转型成科技上的自立自强。这被证实是很难的,至少目前来讲如此。

03 巨大防火墙背后
本周关注,中国的大型冷水机新闻。
中国关于粗暴地攻击经济相关困难的挫折感,这周又有新进展,甚至有人说会导致反正,才能最终支付这些代价。
最近关于 SUV 冲进人群的新闻,包括学生和成年人,在常德一所学校之外,这是一座 500 万人口的城市中心。幸亏没人丧命,尽管警察已经宣称,发生了什么几乎未知,包括为什么司机这样表现,也未知。
强调一些坏情绪,一项事故的视频似乎显示了一群人抓住 SUV 司机,用棍子打他。
这个事件,发生在一桩震惊全国的事件之后,当时一辆 SUV 压过了好几个老人,走到体育中心,在珠海市南部。大约杀害了 35 人,以及好几十人受伤。
perpetrators 犯罪者
plow into a crowd 冲进人群
今年的这些及其他片段,无论在学校还是工作场所,刺激了网络使用者流传了鲁迅的话,这人是 20 世纪早期著名作家。
“当勇敢在愤怒,他们举起刀刃,向强者举起”鲁迅写道,“当大众在愤怒,他们拿出刀刃,指向弱者。”
网友在微博写道,写道干净的地方,“我不想知道,什么刺激了这些反社会者开展好无区分的攻击,以及他们的刀刃对着弱者,我只是想见证,见证其行刑。”
sociopaths 反社会者
可能是可预计的,即暴力带来的阴暗面,关于人们的性格,在很小的人群中。然而,这显示了压力是如何达到顶分,随着政府开始重建人们的安全感。
过去几个礼拜,大量官方人员被拦着要求描述情况。政府也采取具体措施,例如,呼吁更多警力在关键领域巡逻。

珠海袭击之后,习近平总书记说,全中国官方警力都应该“不遗余力地保卫人们的安全、生命,以及社会稳定”。
许多人在社交媒体上发表质疑,几乎没人采取真正实际行动,来解决很多普通人每天面对的问题,例如,解决争端。他们回忆,官方人员到达的时候,救护车之后到的。官方立即部署一些刚性指令,从上级来的指令,这
些人可能只会把岗位写得很好看。
“可能这个任务紧急,‘解决’冲突是解释了,遍及全中国,解释了为什么冲突会积聚。”前记者 Xiang Longliang 在微信写得这篇文章。
原文
Hi, this is Philip Glamann in Beijing, where if you listen closely you can hear Chinese diplomats applauding themselves.
Well, maybe not literally but they are on a pretty good run, which for them generally means the US is on the losing end.
That streak started with Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Peruvian counterpart Dina Boluarte opening a near Lima that Beijing hopes will one day transform South American trade with
Asia.
Major obstacles like the Amazon jungle and Andes mountains stand in the way of Chancay port immediately cashing in on South America’s agricultural bounty, especially in Brazil.
But the facility epitomizes Beijing’s dreams of strengthening trade with South America — and has already become a target for some in President-elect Donald Trump’s
circle.
01 Next China: Xi's hot streak
Xi used his trip to the APEC summit in Peru to portray his nation as a defender of the international trading system, in contrast with Trump, aka Tariff Man.
He also seemed to fire off a warning shot at Trump, using a meeting with President Joe Biden to assertively lay out China’s red lines, while leaving the door open to friendly
relationship. Read a story about that Xi-Biden sitdown here.
A group photo of APEC leaders seemed to illustrate the nice roll Xi is enjoying. In it, he stands front and center, casually smiling, while Biden lurks in the back corner. Never
mind that everyone was placed alphabetically, the pic was a good metaphor for Beijing’s growing influence with developing nations.
Then Xi traveled to Brazil for the Group of 20 summit, where he again drew a line between China and the US by urging leaders to “oppose unilateralism and protectionism.”
The Chinese president had a bit of a tough time with leaders of rich nations — highlighted by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who raised concerns over human rights, Taiwan and the
trial of Hong Kong media mogul Jimmy Lai.
Still, Xi had fairly cordial meeting with Argentina’s Javier Milei, agreeing to deepen cooperation in a range of areas. Such bonhomie seemed unthinkable not long ago because Milei
said he’d never cut deals with communists.
And in a meeting with Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Xi pushed for closer links between Beijing’s signature investment pact and Brazil’s growth strategy — improving a relationship
that may wind up irking Trump. Listen to a podcast about the G-20 event showing a realigned world order here.
In spite of the challenges Xi faces preparing for Trump, reviving the economy and dealing with European officials annoyed with his support for Russia, these wins in South America
show there’s still a lot that could turn in Beijing’s favor.

02 Road Block
Huawei and by extension China have hit a major roadblock in their ambitions to make more powerful chips for AI and smartphones – and they can blame the US.
The tech company plans to make it next advanced processors — its answer to Nvidia’s dominant accelerators — around the same 7-nanometer architecture that’s been mainstream for
years, according to people familiar with the matter.
Meanwhile, next year Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. — the chipmaker to Apple and Nvidia — will be cranking out 2nm chips that are three generations ahead. Read our story
about Huawei’s chip advances stalling here.
Huawei is behind in the tech because US-led restrictions prevent its chipmaking partners from getting their hands on state-of-the-art manufacturing systems from ASML. Read an
explainer on the fight over semiconductors here.
It means Huawei’s marquee semiconductors will be stuck at aging technology until at least 2026, the people said, asking to remain unidentified discussing a sensitive project.
The stall has implications not just for Huawei’s business but also for China’s AI ambitions. On top of that, Huawei’s main production partner, Semiconductor Manufacturing
International Corp., has struggled to churn out even 7nm chips at steady volumes. The Shanghai-based firm’s 7nm production lines have been plagued by poor yield and reliability
issues, according to another person.
Huawei’s struggles show how years of US curbs have scored initial success in freezing Chinese technology advances at current levels, and deprived its national champions of the
chance to graduate to the next level.
Back in 2023, Huawei famously unveiled its Mate 60 Pro smartphone with a self-designed 7nm chip by SMIC just as Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, the US’s chief sanctions
enforcer, was in Beijing.
That cemented its tech credentials in the eyes of the Chinese public, and sales grew on strong demand for that device.
Yet one sign of Huawei’s woes now is its silence on the processor powering its upcoming flagship smartphones, which are emerging later than the Mate 60 Pro did.
Huawei is set to unveil its Mate 70 next week. But it didn’t advertise any hardware specs when it began taking orders this week.
Xi has been pushing China to become self-reliant in tech. That’s proving pretty difficult, for now at least.
03 Behind the Great Firewall
A weekly look at the big water cooler news in China.
The Chinese public’s frustration with violent attacks that some have linked to economic difficulties was renewed this week, prompting calls for the perpetrators to pay the
ultimate price.
The latest episode involved an SUV plowing into a crowd of students and adults outside a school in Changde, a central city of some 5 million people. Thankfully it doesn’t appear
anyone was killed, though police have said very little about what happened, including why the driver behaved this way.
Underscoring the ugly mood, a video clip of the incident seemed to show a group of people grabbing the SUV driver and beating him with sticks.
The incident comes after an attack that stunned the nation last week, when the driver of an SUV ran over older folks walking outside a sports center in the southern city of Zhuhai.
Some 35 were killed and dozens more injured.
These episodes and others this year at schools and places of work prompted internet users to circulate a line from Lu Xun, a famous writer from the early 20th century.
“When the brave are angry, they draw their blades against the stronger,” Lu wrote. “When the cowardly are angry, they take it out on the weaker.”
One person writing on Weibo took that to a bleak place: “I don’t want to know what prompted those sociopaths to indiscriminately attack and draw their blades on the weak. I just
want to see them executed.”
It’s probably predictable that the violence is bringing out the darker side of human nature in a small number of people, but it does show how pressure is mounting on the
government to restore the public’s sense of safety.
Over the past week, a slew of officials have met to discuss the situation. The government has taken some concrete steps already, such as calling for more police patrols in key
places.
Following the Zhuhai attack, Xi said officials across China should be “making every effort to safeguard the security of people’s lives and social stability.”
Many people on social media were skeptical official seldom would make a genuine effort to fix some of the problems ordinary people face every day, such as pay disputes. They recall
times when officials hurried to be seen implementing commands from on high but were really just doing things to make their job metrics shine.
“Maybe this mission of promptly ‘resolving’ conflicts is exactly why conflicts pile up?” former journalist Xiang Dongliang wrote in an article on WeChat.
