尽管各国领导人对私营部门表示”坚定不移的支持”，但该国最著名的企业家之一还是选择在海外呆上几个月 Even as leaders voiced “unwavering support” for the private sector, one of the country’s best-known entrepreneurs chose to spend months overseas.
Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and Ant Group Co. Ltd. co-founder Jack Ma may be one of Beijing’s best chances at repairing its reputation with the private sector in China and beyond. But so far, the billionaire isn’t jumping on invitations from authorities. Lulu Chen reports on Bloomberg Television.
China is known for its stringent censorship regime, with popular apps like Douyin falling in line. The search term ‘Tiananmen 1989’ on Douyin did not yield any search result, CNN reported. But the same term searched on TikTok will lead to videos of users talking about the People’s Liberation Army’s brutal crackdown on pro-democracy protesters in Beijing that year.

中国短视频应用程序TikTok在全球范围内正面临艰难时期。虽然它已被英国、加拿大、法国、比利时、印度等国家禁止，但它正在努力防止自己被美国禁止。参议院已经投票禁止抖音使用所有政府设备。
Chinese short video app TikTok is facing a tough time globally. While it has been banned by countries like United Kingdom, Canada, France, Belgium, India and others, it is fighting to prevent itself to be banned by the United States. The Senate has already voted to ban TikTok from all government devices.
中国以其严格的审查制度而闻名，抖音等热门应用程序也符合要求。据CNN报道，抖音上的搜索词“Tiananmen 1989”没有产生任何搜索结果。但在抖音上搜索的相同术语将导致用户谈论当年中国人民解放军对北京民主抗议者的残酷镇压的视频。

The similarities are very, very striking between the Chinese Communist way of persecution and the American leftist way of restriction and even discrimination,” Fu told Fox News Digital.
Fu said he has observed with concern how the left in the U.S. is increasingly exhibiting “dictatorial” attitudes both culturally and politically by censoring speech, enforcing “woke” culture and not tolerating dissent. He pinpointed the alleged political weaponizing of federal law enforcement agencies as a worrisome escalation of such trends.

Wang told Putin that relations between the two countries had withstood a volatile international situation.
The relationship between China and Russia, Wang said through an interpreter, was not directed against any third party but equally would “not succumb to pressure from third parties” – a clear jab at the United States.
“Together we support multi-polarity and democratisation in international relations,” Wang told Putin.

Satellite images show China’s extensive balloon program based on Hainan Island in the South China Sea, and U.S. officials say they know that is where the Chinese balloon launched before making its way across the Pacific Ocean. The U.S. believes a fleet of Chinese airships and balloons has flown over dozens of countries conducting surveillance from near space.
卫星图像显示，中国在南中国海海南岛开展了广泛的气球项目，美国官员说，他们知道中国气球在飞越太平洋之前就是从这里发射的。 美国认为，中国的一批飞艇和气球已经飞越了数十个国家，从近太空进行监视。
In the last two weeks, U.S. military fighter jets shot down at least four aerial objects, including a Chinese spy balloon that flew across country from Alaska to South Carolina over an eight-day stretch.
President Biden addressed the situation for the first time on Thursday, more than two weeks after the initial Chinese spy flight that traveled across the continental United States for several days. Biden said the additional objects were “most likely balloons tied to private companies, recreation or research institutions studying weather or conducting other scientific research,” and not Chinese spy aircraft.
But the Biden administration is still assessing the three unknown objects, and White House National Security Council Director of Strategic Communications John Kirby said Friday they might never know what the objects were.
在过去的两个星期里，美国军用战斗机击落至少四个空中物体，其中包括一个中国间谍气球，该气球从阿拉斯加飞到南卡罗来纳州，为期八天。
星期四，拜登总统首次谈到了这一情况，这是中国首次在美国大陆进行数天的间谍飞行两周多之后。 拜登说，这些额外的物体”很有可能是绑在私人公司、娱乐或研究机构上的气球，研究天气或进行其他科学研究”，而不是中国的飞机。
但拜登政府仍在评估这三枚不明物体，白宫国家安全委员会战略通讯主任柯比星期五说，他们可能永远不知道这些物体是什么。
According to the Drug Enforcement Agency, China continues to be the primary source of fentanyl being imported into the United States, killing more than 100 Americans every day. It also continues to be the primary source of fentanyl for the rest of the world.
“Currently, China remains the primary source of fentanyl and fentanyl-related substances trafficked through international mail and express consignment operations environment, as well as the main source for all fentanyl-related substances trafficked into the United States,” a 2020 DEA report asserts.
根据缉毒局的数据，中国仍然是进口到美国芬太尼的主要来源，每天杀死100多名美国人。 它还继续是世界其他地区芬太尼的主要来源。
2020年缉毒署的一份报告称:”目前，中国仍然是通过国际邮件和快递业务环境贩运芬太尼和芬太尼相关物质的主要来源，也是所有贩运进入美国的芬太尼相关物质的主要来源。”

“There are major security concerns with a lot of these cameras, both in terms of the technology they contain and what happens to the data that comes from them. If you buy a system like this, you have to be able to trust the company you are buying from.”
He added that using Chinese-made cameras also presents ethical concerns, since some have been implicated in helping the Chinese government monitor detainment camps for Uyghurs in Xinjiang province.
His comments came after Sir Alex Younger, the former head of MI6, said the UK should “wake up” to the threat posed by China, following last week’s decision by Washington to shoot down a balloon officials believed to be carrying out surveillance.
Younger told the BBC’s Today programme western nations were “under full press of Chinese espionage”.
“这些相机中的很多都存在安全隐患，无论是在它们所包含的技术方面，还是在来自它们的数据方面。 如果你购买这样的系统，你就必须能够信任你正在购买的公司。”
他补充说，使用中国制造的相机也引起了道德上的关注，因为其中一些相机涉及帮助中国政府监督新疆维吾尔族拘留营。
此前，英国军情六处前处长亚历克斯·杨格爵士(Sir Alex Younger)曾表示，英国应”清醒地认识到”中国的威胁，此前，美国上周决定击落一名据信正在进行监视的气球官员。
杨格告诉BBC的《今日》节目，西方国家”受到中国间谍活动的全面压力”。
Chinese nationals are arriving at America’s southern border in exploding numbers.
In January 2022, U.S. Customs and Border Protection says, it encountered 89 illegal aliens from the People’s Republic of China on the southern border. That number grew over tenfold last month, to 1,084.
A similar increase has occurred in encounters with illegal immigrants from Russia, with CBP reporting 1,030 in January 2022, but over four times that—4,509—last month.
It is a “source of concern” when an influx of migrants attempts to enter America illegally from a country “that we know isn’t on our side,” Andrew Arthur, a resident fellow in law and policy for the Center for Immigration Studies, told The Daily Signal.
The likely reason for the border surge of Chinese and Russian migrants, Arthur said, is that “word’s gone out around the world that the southwest border is open.”
Since fiscal year 2023 began Oct. 1, Customs and Border Protection says it has has encountered 2,999 Chinese nationals on the southern border, outpacing the combined total of 2,626 for fiscal years 2021 and 2022.
Arthur, who previously worked as an immigration judge, said he saw Chinese nationals in his courtroom who commonly paid “upward of $60,000 to $70,000 to have the opportunity to make it to the southwest border.”
One of the reasons for the increase of Chinese nationals at the border is that “the human smugglers have cracked the China market,” said Michael Cunningham, a research fellow in The Heritage Foundation’s Asian Studies Center. (The Daily Signal is Heritage’s multimedia news organization.)
“The China market is more lucrative,” Cunningham said, adding that smugglers charge Chinese nationals more to be brought across the border, simply because they can.
Cunningham told The Daily Signal that he doesn’t think the increase in illegal aliens from China indicates the communist regime is trying to send large numbers of spies into the U.S. Instead, he points to China’s political climate and extreme COVID-19 policies that likely spur Chinese nationals to flee.
“The border crisis [has] been ongoing for years under [President Joe] Biden,” Cunningham said. “The Chinese government is never this far behind the curve. So, I can’t say they haven’t been exploiting it, but if they have, then they have been all along.”
But Cunningham said that fears over China’s sending spies across America’s southern border are “a reasonable concern to have and … it’s just one of the reasons why it’s so important that the Biden administration start taking the border seriously, and that our country takes its sovereignty seriously.”
Concern over the threat China poses to America has been heightened because of the Chinese spy balloon that traveled across the country before a U.S. fighter jet was ordered to shoot it down over the Atlantic Ocean on Feb. 4.
“Everybody’s focused on, you know, Chinese spy balloons going over the United States,” the Center for Immigration Studies’ Arthur said, adding that it is “the job of the federal government to protect all of our borders, be they land borders, sea borders, or from above.”
大批中国公民抵达美国南部边境。
美国海关和边境保护局说，在2022年1月，它在南部边界上遇到了89名来自中华人民共和国的非法外国人。 上个月，这一数字增长了十倍多，达到1084人。
在遇到来自俄罗斯的非法移民时也出现了类似的增长，CBP在2022年1月报告了1030人，但比上个月增加了4倍多——4509人。
移民研究中心的法律和政策常驻研究员安德鲁·阿瑟（Andrew Arthur）对《每日信号报》说，当大量移民试图从一个”我们知道不属于我们的国家”非法进入美国时，这是一个”令人担忧的问题”。
亚瑟说，中国和俄罗斯移民激增的原因可能是”西南边境开放的消息传遍了全世界。”
自2023财年10月1日开始以来，海关和边境保护局称，它在南部边境共接待了2999名中国公民，超过了2021财年和2022财年的总数2626人。
亚瑟以前曾担任移民法官，他说他在法庭上看到中国公民通常支付6万到7万美元，以便有机会到达西南边境。
传统基金会亚洲研究中心研究员迈克尔·坎宁安（Michael Cunningham）说，边境的中国公民数量增加的原因之一是”人口走私者已经攻破了中国市场。”
“中国市场更有利可图，”Cunningham说，并补充说，走私者向中国公民收取更多的越境费，仅仅因为他们能够做到这一点。
坎宁安在接受《每日信号报》采访时表示:”中国非法滞留者增加并不意味着共产主义政权想向美国派遣大量间谍,相反,他指出了中国的政治气候和新冠肺炎极端政策有可能刺激中国国民逃离美国。”
坎宁安说:”在拜登总统领导下，边境危机已经持续多年。 “中国政府从来没有这么落后过。 因此，我不能说他们没有利用它，但如果他们利用了，那么他们就一直利用它。”
但坎宁安说，对中国派遣间谍穿越美国南部边界的担忧是”合理的关切，而且……这只是拜登政府开始认真对待边境问题，而我国认真对待其主权问题的原因之一”。
由于2月4日一架美国战斗机在大西洋上空被命令击落之前，中国间谍气球横穿中国，中国对美国威胁的担忧进一步加剧。
美国移民研究中心的亚瑟说:”每个人都关注中国间谍气球飞越美国，并补充说:”联邦政府的职责是保护我们的所有边界，无论是陆地边界、海上边界，还是从上方保护我们的边界。”
Chinese leader Xi Jinping has made a “deep mistake” with Beijing’s spy balloon saga, a former head of the UK’s Secret Intelligence Service says.
Sir Alex Younger, the former head of Britain’s spy agency, told the BBC that China’s assumption of how the US would react to surveillance balloons being sent across its territory “wasn’t properly thought through”.
He added that should US parts be found in the balloons, four of which have now been shot down, it would further encourage Washington DC to restrict China’s access to advanced technology.
And he said the growing diplomatic and military crisis potentially revealed China’s “manifest hypocrisy,” just as Beijing attempts to coax nations out of the US’ orbit and into its own.
前英国秘密情报局负责人称，中国国家主席习近平在北京间谍气球事件上犯了一个”严重错误”。
英国前间谍机构负责人亚历克斯·杨格爵士(Sir Alex Younger)对BBC表示，中国关于美国对被派往其领土的监视气球做出何种反应的假设”没有好好考虑”。
他还说，如果在气球中发现美国部件，其中四个已被击落，这将进一步鼓励华盛顿特区限制中国获得先进技术。
他说，日益严重的外交和军事危机可能暴露出中国的”明显的虚伪”，正如北京试图哄骗各国脱离美国的轨道，进入自己的轨道。

When a Chinese spy balloon floated across the U.S. earlier this month, it ignited a firestorm of concern on Capitol Hill and led to the cancellation of Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s trip to China amid already fraught relations between the two countries.
China has maintained it was a weather balloon that veered off course. But the balloon was doing something much more sinister, according to the U.S.
There have since been a number of other incidents involving flying objects, raising even more concern.
Here’s what we know about the balloon and the other objects:
本月早些时候，当中国间谍气球飞越美国上空时，它点燃了国会山上的关注之火，导致美国国务卿安东尼·布林肯（Antony Blinken）的访华行程取消，两国关系本已十分紧张。
中国一直坚持认为它是一个偏离航向的气象气球。 但据美国媒体报道，气球正在做更邪恶的事情。
其后，又发生了数宗涉及飞行物体的事件，更令人关注。
下面是我们对气球和其他物体的了解:
https://edition.cnn.com/2023/02/06/china/china-response-suspected-spy-balloon-intl-hnk/index.html
China maintains the vessel, which was shot down by the US over the Atlantic Ocean on Saturday, was a weather balloon thrown off course. And it has shown signs of both being caught off guard by the incident and wanting to stem the potential damage, analysts say, not only framing the situation as the result of factors beyond its control, but also offering a rare expression of “regret” over it in a statement Friday.
While some crucial facts of the situation remain unclear, Beijing’s official response – and the timing of the incident, which resulted in the US’ postponement of the Blinken visit – suggest its leadership is now grappling with how to handle a diplomatic crisis that has inflamed the very tensions it had been hoping to mend.
中国坚持认为，这艘周六在大西洋上空被美国击落，是一个偏离航线的气象气球。 分析人士说，有迹象表明，它既被这一事件措手不及，又希望阻止潜在的破坏，不仅将局势归咎于它无法控制的因素，而且星期五发表的一份声明也罕见地表达了对此的”遗憾”。
尽管某些关键事实仍不清楚，但北京的官方反应——以及导致美国推迟布林肯访问的事件发生的时间——表明其领导层正在努力处理一场外交危机，这场危机激化了它原本希望修复的紧张局势。

hinese leader Xi Jinping’s recent speech to the Communist Party Congress could be one of the most consequential of the decade. He told the audience – and the world – that his economic growth-crushing zero-COVID policy is here to stay, and that Beijing is more determined than ever to reunify with Taiwan, peacefully if possible and by force if necessary.
We are living in a moment of deep geopolitical rifts and extraordinary economic uncertainty, epitomised by Xi’s pronouncements. The world is clearly not reverting to some pre-COVID status quo. Instead, a combination of underlying forces has upended the previous world order and ushered in a period of profound disorder.
中国国家领导人习近平最近在中共代表大会上的讲话可能是十年来最有影响的讲话之一。 他告诉观众——以及全世界——他的经济增长压垮的零COVID政策将持续下去，北京比以往任何时候都更加决心与台湾实现和平统一，如果可能的话，如果必要的话，将以武力实现统一。
我们生活在一个地缘政治裂痕深重、经济异常不确定性的时刻，习近平的声明就是明证。 世界显然没有恢复到新冠肺炎之前的状态。 相反，基础力量的组合颠覆了前一个世界秩序，并进入了一个严重的混乱时期。
The 20th Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) closed on October 22. As expected, the party’s Chief Secretary and Chinese President Xi Jinping secured his third term as the party’s top leader for another five years. Global Voices is publishing a series exploring the language used during the 20th congress and analyzing its implications for China, the CPC, and free expression in the nation. Find the first article here.
Yet, rather shockingly, his colleagues and experienced top officials, including Li Keqiang, outgoing Premier, Wang Yang, outgoing chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, and Li Zhanshu, outgoing chairman of the National People’s Congress, have vanished from the 204-member list of the Central Committee. The six incoming men in the new Politburo Standing Committee are all Xi’s loyalists. This implies that the party’s top body will exclusively be made of voices that agree with Xi Jinping.
This new power makeup is reflected in Xi’s frequent use of the word douzheng 鬥爭 in Chinese and translated as a “struggle” or “fight” in his report at the 20th CPC Congress.
中国共产党第二十次代表大会于10月22日闭幕。 不出所料，中共中央总书记兼国家主席习近平第三次当选中共最高领导人，任期五年。 《环球之声》正在出版探索第20届大会期间使用的语言,并分析其对中国、中国共产党和全国言论自由的影响。 你可在此找到第一篇文章。
然而，令人震惊的是，他的同事和经验丰富的高层官员，包括即将离任的国务院总理李克强、即将离任的全国政协主席汪洋、即将离任的全国人大主席李占树，却从204名中央委员名单中消失新一届政治局常委的六名新成员都是习近平的忠实拥护者。 这意味着党的最高机构将完全由赞同习近平的声音组成。
这种新的权力结构反映在习主席在中共第二十次全国代表大会上的报告中经常使用”斗正”一词，并翻译成”斗争”。……….
胡锦涛在被押出国会前曾就官方文件争论过这篇文章已有三个多月了
录像显示，中国前总统在文件问题上存在明显的分歧
China’s former leader Hu Jintao was arguing about official papers, moments before he was escorted off the stage at a key Communist party meeting in Beijing, new footage shows.
Hu’s apparently reluctant departure from the stage at the 20th congress of the Chinese Communist party (CCP) was a rare moment of unscripted drama at what was otherwise a carefully choreographed week of political theatre.
The new footage, shot by Channel News Asia but only released two days after the incident, captures about a minute of discreet, high-level manoeuvring before an official arrives to escort Hu away. Hu, who is 79, stepped down as head of the party 10 years ago.
The official Xinhua news agency reported that Hu’s unexpected exit was due to ill health, but gave no further details.
