Putin begins visit in China underscoring ties amid Ukraine war_我的网站

一 |     TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived in Beijing on Tuesday for a visit that underscores China’s support for Moscow during its war in Ukraine as well as Russian backing for China's bid to expand its economic and diplomatic influence abroad.The two countries have forged an informal alliance against the United States and other democratic nations that is now complicated by the Israel-Hamas war. China has sought to balance its ties with Israel against its relations with Iran and Syria, two countries that are strongly backed by Russia and with which China has forged ties for economic reasons as well as to challenge Washington's influence in the Middle East.Putin's plane was met by an honor guard as the Russian leader began his visit that is also a show of support for Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s signature “Belt and Road” initiative to build infrastructure and expand China’s overseas influence.In an interview to Chinese state media, Putin praised the massive but loosely linked BRI projects.“Yes, we see that some people consider it an attempt by the People’s Republic of China to put someone under its thumb, but we see otherwise, we just see desire for cooperation,” he told state broadcaster CCTV, according to a transcript released by the Kremlin on Monday. Putin will be among the highest profile guests at a gathering marking the 10th anniversary of Xi’s announcement of the BRI project, which has laden countries such as Zambia and Sri Lanka with heavy debt from contracts with Chinese companies to build roads, airports and other public works they could not otherwise afford. U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres has praised the Chinese policy as bringing development to neglected areas. Asked by reporters Friday about his visit, Putin said it would encompass talks on Belt and Road-related projects, which he said Moscow wants to link with efforts by an economic alliance of former Soviet Union nations mostly located in Central Asia to “achieve common development goals.” He also downplayed the impact of China’s economic influence in a region that Russia has long considered its backyard and where it has worked to maintain political and military clout. “We don’t have any contradictions here, on the contrary, there is a certain synergy,” Putin said.Putin said he and Xi would also discuss growing economic ties between Moscow and Beijing in energy, high-tech and financial industries. China has also grown in importance as an export destination for Russia.Alexander Gabuev, director of the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center, said that from China’s view, “Russia is a safe neighbor that is friendly, that is a source of cheap raw materials, that’s a support for Chinese initiatives on the global stage and that’s also a source of military technologies, some of those that China doesn’t have.”“For Russia, China is its lifeline, economic lifeline in its brutal repression against Ukraine,” Gabuev told The Associated Press. “It’s the major market for Russian commodities, it’s a country that provides its currency and payment system to settle Russia’s trade with the outside world — with China itself, but also with many other countries, and is also the major source of sophisticated technological imports, including dual-use goods that go into the Russian military machine.”Gabuev said that while Moscow and Beijing will be unlikely to forge a full-fledged military alliance, their defense cooperation will grow.“Both countries are self-sufficient in terms of security and they benefit from partnering, but neither really requires a security guarantee from the other. And they preach strategic autonomy,” he said.“There will be no military alliance, but there will be closer military cooperation, more interoperability, more cooperation on projecting force together, including in places like the Arctic and more joint effort to develop a missile defense that makes the U.S. nuclear planning and planning of the U.S. and its allies in Asia and in Europe more complicated,” he added. The Chinese and Soviets were Cold War rivals for influence among left-leaning states, but China and Russia have since partnered in the economic, military and diplomatic spheres. Just weeks before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last February, Putin met with Xi in Beijing and the sides signed an agreement pledging a “no-limits” relationship. Beijing’s attempts to present itself as a neutral peace broker in Russia’s war on Ukraine have been widely dismissed by the international community. Xi visited Moscow in March as part of a flurry of exchanges between the countries. China has condemned international sanctions imposed on Russia, but hasn’t directly addressed an arrest warrant issued for Putin by the International Criminal Court on charges of alleged involvement in the abductions of thousands of children from Ukraine. ___Associated Press writer Jim Heintz in Tallinn, Estonia, contributed to this report.。    　　消费电子涨价潮迎来新的参与者。

二 | 亚马逊在上周末大幅提高了其硬件设备的价格，部分商品涨幅高达60%。
　　亚马逊旗下最受欢迎的电子产品，包括流媒体设备Fire TV、智能音响Echo、电子书阅读器Kindle和路由器品牌Eero都调整了价格。其中，亚马逊的平价智能音响Echo Dot价格从49.99美元上涨至79.99美元，涨幅高达60%。　　亚马逊发言人对此解释称，消费电子行业正面临内存和存储组件成本大幅上涨的问题。亚马逊在尽可能地消化这些成本上涨之后，调整了旗下所有产品线的价格。　　不过，亚马逊还表示，在接下来的一年中，将继续不定期地为顾客提供促销活动。　　不断恶化的涨价局势　　亚马逊的提价再次印证了消费电子行业面临着成本困境。人工智能热潮引发的全球内存短缺推高了各类设备的生产成本，而企业正越来越多地将这些成本转嫁给消费者。　　在亚马逊之前，苹果和微软等公司均已经提高了产品的价格。

三 | 此外，苹果还试图通过推出设备租赁计划来抵消高昂的新价格，从而使用户能够分期付款购买设备。　　据业内分析，内存短缺情况预计将持续到2027年，之后价格可能会在2028年达到顶峰并趋于稳定。TrendForce展望称，今年第三季度传统DRAM价格将上涨13%至18%，NAND闪存价格可能上涨10%至15%，移动DRAM价格则将上涨8%至13%左右。　　而这一自内存开始的消费电子涨价还将对更广泛的经济造成影响。哥伦比亚商学院教授Eric Johnson指出，以前人们常说牛奶的价格会影响他们对生活成本的感知，现在手机变成了牛奶的角色。　　牛津经济研究院首席美国经济学家Bernard Yaros也表示，预计一系列价格飙升将在未来两年内继续对美国核心通胀产生非同寻常的推高作用，且科技驱动的通胀压力将比美国加征关税和美伊冲突导致的通胀压力持续更长时间。（文章来源：财联社）。
