While K-pop has conquered almost every corner of the globe, South Korea’s entertainment industry remains largely locked out of the Chinese market due to a geopolitical chill that has lingered for a decade. China unofficially banned South Korean entertainment products in 2016 after Seoul deployed the US Terminal High Altitude Area Defence system (THAAD) despite Beijing’s objections. K-pop concerts were cancelled, South Korean dramas disappeared from Chinese streaming platforms, and South Korean...

【有線新聞】伊朗相隔一個多月在大學校園再有反政府示威，而美伊的核談判未有進展。據報德黑蘭當局願意稀釋部分庫存內濃縮鈾的濃度降至20%或以下，稍後將向美國提交建議。總統佩澤希齊揚重申即使面對全球霸凌亦絕不屈服。 伊朗鎮壓大規模反政府示威浪潮後相隔約一個月，首都德黑蘭的謝里夫理工大學再有學生在校園揮動伊朗旗示威，高叫「獨裁者死亡」 等口號，期間有伊朗政府支持者在校園內與示威者衝突。 全國多間大學的大學生適逢新學期開始再舉辦反政府集會，並悼念上月在反政府示威浪潮中被鎮壓喪生的人，呼籲民眾周日繼續示威。東北部馬什哈德市亦有學生響應號召上街，疑似跟執法人員對峙。 伊朗與美國在瑞士的新一輪核談判未有突破進展，美軍在中東地區加強集結，不斷向德黑蘭當局施壓。英國《衛報》引述伊朗消息人士指，伊朗拒絕交出重300公斤的高純度濃縮鈾，但願意在國際原子能機構的監督下，將部分庫存內濃度達60%、即接近用於製造核武等級的濃縮鈾，調低濃度至20%或以下，相信會是伊朗未來數天向美國提交的關鍵提議。 總統佩澤希齊揚與國家殘疾運動員會面時提到全球不斷為伊朗製造麻煩，但政府正透過團結國家克服問題和不足，重申伊朗人民就正如現場的運動員一樣，即使面對困難及外界霸凌亦絕不屈服。

Arab and Muslim nations on Saturday sharply condemned comments by the US ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, who said Israel has a right to much of the Middle East. Huckabee made the comments in an interview with conservative commentator Tucker Carlson that aired on Friday.

【有線新聞】政府公布收購宏福苑業權方案，測量師學會認為收購價合理，若要原址重建，初步估算可能要約27億元。保險業聯會表示收購業權亦會轉移大廈「火險」索償權予政府，但不影響住戶的家居保險索償。 宏福苑業主立案法團已為屋苑購買「火險」，賠償上限為20億元，保險業聯會表示若居民同意出售業權，保險索償權將轉移到政府手上，至於住戶的家居保險索償就不受影響。保險業聯會行政總監劉佩玲：「政府可能會取回20億，所用的保障額是大廈的火險。居民自己個別買的家居保險，作出賠償已經是你的，如果未作賠償、進行中的，將來都是你的。」 根據政府方案，未補價單位收購價8,000元一呎，已補價單位就10,500元。測量師學會認為屬合理偏高水平。 至於宏志閣現階段不納入收購計劃，學會相信日後大廈管理在法律上會存在複雜性。測量師學會會長溫偉明：「無論塊地或大廈公契層面都牽涉不可分割業權，當政府收購7幢樓的業權時，公契仍然存在其業權，究竟如何處理，如何取消業權，令剩下業權人士管理大廈公契，都有待政府安排 。」 若要原址重建，學會就估計要約27億元，學會初步估算當興建一幢居屋計算，以今時今日標準來興建，估計8幢有90萬呎。如果我們重建8幢樓大概3,000元一呎，大概27億元左右。 根據大廈公契，若要原址重建，必須得到百分百業主同意。溫偉明稱部分業主已不在人世，現階段難以做到。

美國最高法院裁定，總統特朗普向全球多國徵收所謂「對等關稅」是違法後，特朗普隨即宣布引用另一條貿易法，向全球額外加徵一成關稅，一日後又改變主意，將稅率從一成調高到一成半。 美國最高法院大法官當地周五以六比三裁定，總統特朗普去年四月引用1977年的《國際緊急經濟權力法》，向全球多地徵收對等關稅，超出其總統權限。法院沒有判決進口商是否有權及如何獲得退稅，交由下級法院處理。 白宮在裁決後證實已終止部分關稅措施。有經濟師估計，退稅款項可能涉及1,750億美元，折合約13,700億港元。 特朗普表示對裁決感到失望，又把矛頭指向部分大法官，指他們的裁決使國家蒙羞。 對於外界最關注的會否退回已徵收的關稅，特朗普未有回應，他同時宣布引用《1974年貿易法》第122條，在已徵收常規關稅基礎上對全球商品加徵一成關稅。當地下周二生效，為期150天，根據這條條例，政府可以因應貿易赤字情況，向全球徵收最高一成半關稅，最多150天，若要延期就須要國會批准。到周六他又改變主意，在社交平台發文表示，把全球關稅稅率從一成調高到一成半。並且會在徵收全球關稅期間，研究徵收其他合法、可行的關稅。 分析指，美國海關從未處理過可能多達數千家進口商，涉及數以百億美元的退款申請，可能引發混亂。 有美國前貿易官員說，不確定政府如何應付龐大的退款需求，可能會嘗試簡化流程又或設立專門網站，讓進口商申請退稅。 美國財長貝森特表示，政府將會以其他合法途徑，例如根據獲國會授權的第301條款展開新調查，取代引用《國際緊急經濟權力法》徵收關稅，預料今年的相關收入幾乎不會有改變。又指任何關稅退款，最終獲益的將會是企業，成為企業福利，示意他認為消費者不會從中得益。 特朗普揚言法院否決關稅「摧毀美國」 專家：規則混亂才是真正災難｜綜合美媒分析 早前協議還算數嗎？｜中國部分行業仍要繳關稅 美國與貿易夥伴關係何去何從？｜延伸閱讀

Investors can't seem to sell software stocks fast enough amid fears that artificial intelligence (AI) will ultimately disrupt and displace traditional software-as-a-service (SaaS) businesses. Many of the top software companies have enjoyed lofty valuations for years, justified by wide tech stock moats that meant juicy profit margins, limited competition, and sticky recurring revenue. But AI could vaporize some of those advantages. AI can already extract information from documents and write code, and could soon begin replacing humans in various office tasks. While AI is a genuine threat to some software companies, the relentless, widespread sell-off has mispriced some high-quality names. Here are two cheap tech stocks that investors should consider buying right now. Continue reading

"It's Not Going To End Well For Them": Susan Rice Joins Call For Revenge Purge After Democrats Re-Take Power Authored by Jonathan Turley, As Democrats plan for the possible takeover in the midterms and 2028 election, they are already openly discussing their push for radical changes in our political system, including packing the Supreme Court to guarantee that those changes are allowed. Many are also pledging trials, impeachments, and investigations of anyone who supported President Donald Trump in a purging of politics and government. The latest to join the revenge purge pledge is Susan Rice, Democratic powerbroker and top policy adviser to both President Barack Obama and Joe Biden. In an interview this week, Rice declared that supporters of Trump can expect the proverbial knocks on their doors: “A very prominent public figure, who has served at nearly the very highest levels, once told me … ‘Revenge is best served cold,’ and the older I get, the more I see the wisdom of that.” She added: When it comes to the elites, you know, the corporate interests, the law firms, the universities, the media … it’s not going to end well for them, for those that decided that they would act in their perceived very narrow self-interest, which I would underscore, is very short-term self-interest, and, you know, take a knee to Trump. The promise to crackdown political opponents is hardly unexpected in this age of rage. Indeed, Democrats can point to the purging of the federal ranks, particularly at the Justice Department, as further justification for a tit-for-tat response. Democratic politicians and pundits have been fueling the anger of their base with ludicrous claims that democracy is about to die since the 2020 election. They have now used anti-ICE protests to stoke the anger in the hope that it will return them to power in the midterm elections. Bravo star and liberal podcast host Jennifer Welch praised footage of a “No Kings” protester celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk. Afte...

In this article JPM Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT President Donald Trump (L), and JP Morgan CEO, Jamie Dimon. Reuters JPMorgan Chase acknowledged for the first time that it closed the bank accounts of President Donald Trump and several of his businesses in the political and legal aftermath of the Jan. 6, 2021, attacks on the U.S. Capitol, the latest development in a legal saga over the controversial practice of "debanking." The acknowledgment came in a court filing submitted this week in Trump's lawsuit against the bank and its leader, Jamie Dimon . The president sued for $5 billion, alleging that his accounts were closed for political reasons, disrupting his business operations. "In February 2021, JPMorgan informed Plaintiffs that certain accounts maintained with JPMorgan's CB and PB would be closed," JPMorgan's former chief administrative officer Dan Wilkening wrote in the court filing. The "PB" and "CB" stands for JPMorgan's private bank and commercial bank. Until now, JPMorgan has never admitted it closed the president's accounts, and would only speak hypothetically about when the bank closes accounts and its reasons for closing accounts. Emails and text messages to a spokesman for the bank were not returned. Trump originally sued JPMorgan in Florida state court, where Trump's primary residence is now located. JPMorgan Chase is looking to have the case moved to New York, which is where the bank accounts were located and where Trump kept much of his business operations until recently. Trump accuses the bank of trade libel and accuses Dimon himself of violating Florida's Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act. In the original lawsuit, Trump alleges he tried to raise the issue personally with Dimon after the bank started to close his accounts, and that Dimon assured Trump he would figure out what was happening. The lawsuit alleges Dimon failed to follow up with Trump. Further, Trump's lawyers allege that JPMorgan placed the president and his com...
