Beyond the diplomatic choreography of last month’s Xi-Trump summit, what are the structural implications of a less confrontational US-China relationship for the Asia-Pacific? The subsequent visits by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to India and US Secretary of Defence Peter Hegseth to Singapore in late May shed some light on the question. Both Rubio and Hegseth had accompanied Trump to Beijing. Perhaps most telling was the switch in the usage of a geographic term by the US administration. In...

这可能是 Tim Cook 最后一次在 Apple 发布会上说出那句熟悉的“Good morning”。 北京时间 6 月 9 日凌晨,Apple 举行了 WWDC 2026 主题演讲。按照此前消息,Tim Cook 将于 9 月 1 日卸任 Apple CEO,因此外界普遍预计,这场 WWDC 是他以 CEO 身份主持的最后一场 Apple 大型发布活动。活动开始前,Cook 也提前在 X 上发布了一支特别视频,用一种轻松、幽默的方式,为自己的经典开场白做了一次告别式预热。 多年来,Tim Cook 几乎总是以同一句“Good morning”开启 Apple 发布会。这句简单的问候,早已成为 Apple Keynote 的固定仪式,也逐渐被网友做成各种梗。此次视频中,Cook 邀请多位影视和综艺明星客串,让他们用不同方式演绎这句“Good morning”,既像是一次自我调侃,也像是在为这场特殊的 WWDC 提前铺垫情绪。 https://x.com/tim_cook/status/2063973568787226897 今年 4 月,Cook 宣布将在 9 月把 Apple 的掌舵权交给 John Ternus。Cook 曾帮助 Apple 成为全球最具价值的公司之一,而 Ternus 是一名机械工程师出身的高管,目前负责 Apple 硬件产品的开发,包括 Mac 电脑和 iPhone。 尽管外界认为 Apple 在 AI 上曾有失误,但在 Cook 的领导下,这家公司依然取得了巨大成功。起码在他担任 CEO 的 15 年里,按拆股调整后,Apple 股价上涨了约 2000%。 不过,在这个略带告别意味的开场之外,WWDC 2026 真正的看点,仍然是 Apple 接下来要如何讲述自己的 AI 故事。 从零开始的 Siri 这届 WWDC,Apple 最受关注的主角可能不再只是 iOS、macOS 或新的开发者工具,而是 Siri。过去一年,Apple Intelligence 曾被寄予厚望,但最关键的 Siri 升级迟迟未能兑现,最终让 Apple 内部意识到,问题已经不只是一次功能延期,而是一场 AI 战略危机。 据 Mark Gurman 披露,2025 年初,Apple 高层曾专门召开关键会议,讨论如何应对 Apple Intelligence 表现不...

Southeast Asia’s extensive supply chains could be disrupted if it faces planned US tariffs over Washington’s accusations of forced labour in 60 economies, as analysts say the proposal is just a way for President Donald Trump to resurrect his trade levy agenda. Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam are among the economies flagged by the US for purportedly failing to prevent goods made with forced labour from reaching its market.

The US military fired at an empty tanker for its suspected involvement in the Iranian oil trade this week as Washington continues to enforce a blockade of the Islamic Republic’s ports. An American fighter jet fired a precision munition into the Marivex’s engineering and steering spaces on Monday as it attempted to sail from the Gulf of Oman toward Iran, the US Central Command said . The ship was crewed by 24 Indian nationals , a government official in New Delhi said before the Centcom statement. Ship-tracking data showed the Marivex, which is falsely flagged to Madagascar, appeared to be trying to sail past the US’s blockade line that runs from the easternmost tip of Oman to the Iran-Pakistan border. In the past week, the vessel had twice sailed northeast along the Omani coast toward the line, where US warships are stationed, before turning around. The small tanker of around 12,800 deadweight tons is owned by Panama-based Arihant Shipping Inc., according to database Equasis. Arihant Shipping, and India’s foreign affairs and shipping ministries didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. The vessel was sanctioned by the US Treasury Department under its previous name Arihant for transporting Iranian fuel oil and bitumen. Marivex recently delivered a cargo, believed to have loaded from the Iranian port of Shahid Rajaee, to Mangalore and Karwar in India, ship-tracking data from Kpler show. The US has been enforcing a blockade of ships sailing to and from Iranian ports since mid-April, as it seeks to increase pressure on Iran to end its own blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. So far, American forces have disabled seven non-compliant vessels and redirected 134 ships, the Central Command said. Iran exported 14 million tons of fuel oil last year, with most of it going to the United Arab Emirates, Kpler data show. The country also delivered 734,000 tons of bitumen asphalt, with nearly two-thirds of those volumes heading to China and India.
