Vendors at Hong Kong’s biggest Lunar New Year fair are confident of strong sales this year despite higher rents, with some noting a larger turnout in Causeway Bay on the event’s opening day than last year. Hundreds of shoppers visited the fair at Victoria Park on Wednesday to check out this year’s offerings at 400 stalls, which included horse-themed merchandise, flowers and street food to celebrate the Year of the Horse. The fair is one of 14 across the city in locations such as Tsuen Wan, Kwun Tong and Yuen Long. The events will run daily until the start of the Lunar New Year on February 17. Advertisement A man in his fifties surnamed Cheng, who was helping out at his family business selling peach blossom trees, said he had high hopes for this year’s sales. “On the first day, we’ve already sold around 40 trees. This time last year, we only sold a dozen,” he said. “There are about 50 per cent more people on the first day compared with last year.” Blossoming plants were popular among shoppers with the best quality ones costing around HK$2,000. Photo: Sam Tsang Cheng said the rent for their booth, which occupied three lots, had risen by about 10 per cent year on year, but they decided not to pass on the extra cost to customers.

为什么最近西方媒体开始重新讨论中国的知识产权? 最近,有一件事挺有意思。 两家背景、立场并不相同的西方媒体—— 《The Economist》《The Diplomat》, 几乎在同一时间,写了同一个主题“中国的知识产权保护”。 表面看,它们写法不同: 《The Economist 》从具体案例写起; 《The Diplomat》从制度和国家战略分析。 但如果你把这两篇文章放在一起看,会发现它们其...
为什么最近西方媒体开始重新讨论中国的知识产权? 最近,有一件事挺有意思。 两家背景、立场并不相同的西方媒体—— 《The Economist》《The Diplomat》, 几乎在同一时间,写了同一个主题“中国的知识产权保护”。 表面看,它们写法不同: 《The Economist 》从具体案例写起; 《The Diplomat》从制度和国家战略分析。 但如果你把这两篇文章放在一起看,会发现它们其实在回答同一个问题, 为什么中国现在开始“认真对待”知识产权了? 一、一个旧认知在讨论变化之前,先讨论一个事实。 长期以来,中国在国际叙事中有一个稳定形象。发展快、学习快,但对知识产权保护不够严格。 这个判断,在特定历史阶段,并不是空穴来风。 早期的发展路径、技术引进方式、制度成熟度,都影响了当时的现实。 所以,两篇文章有一个共同点, 它们并没有否认过去。 真正的问题是: 如果现实已经变化,我们是否还在用同一套解释框架? 二、不是态度变了,是位置变了 理解这两篇文章,有一个非常重要的视角转换。 它们讨论的重点,并不是“中国的价值观有没有改变”, 而是一个更现实的问题,中国创新的激励结构变没变。 你可以这样理解, 当一个经济体主要靠模仿和引进发展时, 知识产权更像一种外部约束; 但当原创技术、品牌和内容开始成为核心资产, 侵权就会直接伤害自己。 这不是道德问题,而是成本问题。 中国正在发生的,正是这种位置变化: 从“主要为他人品牌技术服务”,变成“保护自己知识产权”。 三、同一条逻辑 如果你仔细看这两篇文章,会发现 它们是在不同层级,反复印证同一件事。 第一层:市场已经先动了 ,《The Economist》关注的是具体案例。 当本土品牌、文化创意产品、设计成果的价值越来越高, 假冒和侵权,就不再是“产业扩散”,而是直接损失。 于是,企业开始主动维权,执法和司法的参与度自然提高。 第二层:制度开始跟上 ,《The Diplomat 》讨论的是制度演进。 知识产权法院、赔偿机制、审判专业化,这些并不是表态,而是资源配置。 当制度开始围绕“保护”运转,说明系统已经识别出新的核心利益。 第三层:下结论。两篇文章给出相似判断: China once stole foreign ideas. Now it wants to protect its own. 这不是情绪,而是直接...

Listen on the go! A daily podcast of Wall Street Breakfast will be available by 8:00 a.m. on Seeking Alpha , iTunes , Spotify . Getty Images Good morning! Here's the latest in trending: Economic signals: After sluggish retail sales signaled consumer fatigue, the spotlight turns to the nonfarm payrolls report due this morning. New twist: Paramount ( PSKY ) sweetened its bid for Warner Bros. Discovery ( WBD ), while this activist investor is set to oppose Netflix's ( NFLX ) deal. EV reset: Ford ( F ) posted its biggest quarterly loss , hurt by EV-related writedowns, tariffs and higher costs tied to fires at its aluminum supplier . Making headway Legislation to address the housing affordability crisis is making its way through Congress, with lawmakers working to get a unified bill to President Donald Trump's desk soon. But will both chambers reach a consensus on the matter? On the Hill: The House on Monday overwhelmingly passed a bipartisan housing package — Housing for the 21st Century Act — that aims to increase housing supply and homeownership. A similar bill, called the ROAD to Housing Act, was introduced in the Senate last year. The Senate is expected to vote on the measure in the coming weeks. Lawmakers must work together to reconcile both bills, after which the House and Senate will vote on the combined measure. If approved, the legislation can be sent to Trump's desk to be signed into law. The details: The Housing for the 21st Century Act includes 38 sections that would remove regulatory barriers for housing development, expand local lending, and streamline federal and local processes. The Bipartisan Policy Center noted that each of the House and Senate bills "includes policies that would streamline regulatory requirements to make it easier to build new housing, expand financing options, modernize existing housing programs, and enhance program oversight and coordination." The think tank said 17 of the bill's sections align at least in part with the ROAD to Hous...
