ITC’s Final Decision Confirms Innoscience’s Customers Remain Unaffected by the Innoscience-EPC Patent Row

2024-11-08

HONG KONG, Nov 8, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Innoscience Technology, a company founded to create a global energy ecosystem based on high-performance, low-cost, gallium-nitride-on-silicon (GaN-on-Si) power solutions, announced today that the U.S. International Trade Commission’s (“ITC”) November 7, 2024 final determination has confirmed the ability of Innoscience’s customers to import their products into U.S. remain unaffected by the ongoing patent dispute between Innoscience and Efficient Power Conversion Corporation (“EPC”).In May last year, EPC launched a lawsuit against Innoscience at the ITC, falsely alleging infringement of EPC’s ’508 and ’294 patents. Following an administrative law judge’s initial determination in the past July finding no infringement of claim 1 (the only asserted claim) of the ’508 patent, the latest ITC final determination once again affirmed no violation as to this patent—a huge success for Innoscience.The final determination, however, affirmed the part of the judge’s initial determination that found violation as to claims 2 and 3 the ’294 patent. The ITC hence has determined to issue a limited exclusion order prohibiting importation of certain accused Innoscience chips. Innoscience disagrees with and will appeal this ruling. This is at least because the ‘294 patent is invalid. Indeed, the U.S Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) instituted an inter partes review (“IPR”) challenging all claims of the ’294 patent under four different grounds and has agreed with Innoscience’s invalidity arguments. The ’294 IPR decision will issue in March 2025.Innoscience also notes it is established U.S. law that the limited exclusion order does not prohibit Innoscience’s customers from importing end products that use the accused chips. Moreover, since the final decision clarified the meaning of the claim term “compensated GaN layer,” which is at the center of the dispute surrounding the ’294 patent, it has provided clear guidance for Innoscience to design around the ’294 patent by avoiding use of the “compensated GaN layer.” Innoscience already has the design around in place and will release the new products soon. Accordingly, the EPC litigation shall have no impact on Innoscience’s customers. Moreover, Innoscience will continue to solve the dispute with EPC through appeals in court and invalidity challenges at the USPTO, and is confident that it will achieve a final complete victory.

ITC終裁確認英諾賽科客戶不受英諾賽科與EPC專利糾紛影響

2024-11-08

香港, 2024年11月8日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 英諾賽科是一家致力於創建基於高性能、低成本、矽基氮化鎵（GaN-on-Si）電源解決方案的全球能源生態系統的企業。該公司今天宣佈，美國國際貿易委員會（U.S. International Trade Commission, ITC）2024年11月7日發佈的337調查終裁決定證實，英諾賽科的客戶將其產品進口到美國的合法性不受英諾賽科和宜普電源轉換公司（Efficient power Conversion Corporation，EPC）之間正在進行的專利糾紛的影響。去年5月，EPC在ITC對英諾賽科提起專利侵權訴訟調查，宣稱英諾賽科侵犯了EPC的US’508號專利和US’294號專利。今年7月，ITC行政法官作出初步裁定，認定英諾賽科沒有侵犯EPC的US'508號專利的權利要求1（該專利中唯一被EPC用來主張權利的權利要求），而今天ITC的最新終裁決定再次確認英諾賽科沒有侵犯該US’508號專利，這對英諾賽科來說是一個巨大的勝利。然而，終裁決定維持了行政法官初步裁決中認定的侵犯了US'294號專利權利要求2和3的部分情形。因此，ITC將決定發佈有限排除令，禁止英諾賽科將某些被指控的芯片作為直接產品出口到美國。英諾賽科不同意這一裁決，並將對此進一步提出上訴。這至少是因為US'294號專利本身的權利基礎是不穩定的，被無效的可能性很大。事實上，美國專利商標局（“USPTO”）以四種不同的理由對US'294號專利的所有權利要求進行了雙方複審（“IPR”），並同意英諾賽科的無效論點。US'294號專利的IPR無效審查決定將於2025年3月發佈。英諾賽科還指出，根據美國法律規定，有限排除令並不禁止英諾賽科的客戶將使用被指控芯片的終端產品進口到美國市場。此外，由於終裁決定澄清了“補償GaN層”這一權利要求術語的含義，而這正是雙方圍繞US'294號專利爭議的核心，因此也為英諾賽科提供了明確的規避設計指導，通過避免使用“補償GaN層”這一技術特徵，就可以實現對US'294號專利的規避。目前英諾賽科已經完成了規避設計方案，並將很快發佈規避設計後的新產品。因此，EPC訴訟不會對英諾賽科的客戶帶來不利影響。此外，英諾賽科將繼續通過法院上訴程序和美國專利商標局的無效程序來推動解決與EPC的糾紛，並有信心取得最終的完全勝利。 Copyright 2024 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

特朗普當選總統對以色列與哈瑪斯交戰中的美國意味著什麼？

2024-11-08

(SeaPRwire) - 耶路撒冷 — 根據專家說法，當選總統唐納·川普週三早上的獲勝，可能會導致美國中東政策的改變，這將對以色列與伊朗支持的恐怖組織哈馬斯和真主黨之間的戰爭產生重大影響。 Digital 聯繫了美國和以色列中東問題的領先專家，以徵詢他們對川普第二任期對該地區正在發生的不穩定局勢和戰爭的意義的見解。伊朗政權一年多來一直積極支持哈馬斯和真主黨對抗猶太國的戰爭。德黑蘭還在 2024 年對猶太國發動了兩次無人機和導彈襲擊。曾擔任以色列總理班傑明·納坦雅胡顧問的美國以色列中東問題專家卡羅琳·格里克告訴 Digital：「川普尊重以色列民主選舉政府的權利的政策，將使納坦雅胡總理及其內閣能夠成功實施擊敗伊朗及其代理人的戰略。以色列不尋求美國直接參與戰爭。相反，它希望美國提供外交和其他支持，使其能夠擊敗美國和以色列共同的敵人。」格里克補充說：「川普最小化美國參與中東的原則，是基於首先支持美國的盟友，尤其是以色列，來打敗他們的敵人，這些敵人也是美國的敵人。川普支持以色列獲勝將使總統能夠主持戰後時期的平靜與前所未有的和平，這只有在以色列獲勝後才有可能。」拜登政府因其對抗哈馬斯的戰爭而面臨批評，該組織在 1 月 2 日殺害了近 1200 人，其中包括 40 多名美國人。據報導，拜登在以色列進行生存戰爭時，曾一度扣留重要的軍備。格里克一直是拜登-賀錦麗政府的尖銳批評者，她說：「伊朗繼續追求核武器，並對以色列發動七線戰爭。美國保護了哈馬斯在加沙的政權，以及真主黨對黎巴嫩的控制。」以色列退役准將阿米爾·阿維維，以色列國防與安全論壇創始人，告訴 Digital：「川普總統的獲勝為中東解體什葉派軸心（伊朗伊斯蘭共和國和黎巴嫩真主黨）並通過簽署和平協議和建立一個將一直延伸到印尼、馬來西亞、巴基斯坦和阿曼的西方-以色列-遜尼派聯盟，為中東恢復安全提供了巨大的機遇。」他補充說，中東的和平與繁榮「需要處理核問題。以色列期望看到美國領導一個聯盟，對伊朗的核設施採取軍事行動，甚至可能推翻該政權，並解體威脅中東所有溫和國家的什葉派軸心。」阿維維說，以色列已經為此做好了準備，摧毀了哈馬斯，並且即將摧毀真主黨。前副總統迪克·切尼的前非擴散和中東戰略高級顧問大衛·沃姆斯告訴 Digital：「川普的當選將對中東政策產生重大影響。伊朗及其代理人將感到深受威脅，但他們不會放棄。他們不能放棄，這是伊朗政權生存的關鍵問題。」「以色列中的一些人抱有希望，認為現在美國將接過球，與以色列一起打這場戰爭，尤其是對伊朗本身，這是一種錯誤的希望，」沃姆斯說。「川普會讓以色列做它需要做的事，並無條件地保護它這樣做，但它不會為以色列這樣做。」「另一個美國將有相當大的投入的領域，將是形成中東和平結構，擴大亞伯拉罕協議，但不會迫使沙特或其他國家處理巴勒斯坦問題，」他說。川普第一任期在中東最具代表性的成就，是之間以色列與阿拉伯聯合酋長國、巴林、摩洛哥和蘇丹的。中東專家表示，如果川普沒有在 2020 年選舉中輸給拜登，他本可以達成沙烏地阿拉伯與猶太國之間的重大外交承認協議。據沃姆斯說，「即將上任的政府將代表一種範式轉變，強大的以色列和弱勢、被圍困和撤退的伊朗將推動一個挑戰伊朗和中國的區域聯盟，並放棄美國建制派將其作為政策指導原則。」土耳其強人總統雷傑普·塔伊普·埃爾多安的伊斯蘭主義政府，也可能會遇到川普的阻力。埃爾多安支持美國指定的恐怖組織哈馬斯，在 7 月發動了對巴勒斯坦人的保護。埃爾多安還為住在土耳其的哈馬斯恐怖分子提供物質支持。以色列巴伊蘭大學普通史系教授、土耳其問題專家埃弗拉特·阿維夫告訴 Digital：「川普親以色列的立場與埃爾多安支持哈馬斯的立場相衝突，土耳其將其視為自由鬥士。土耳其據稱參與了促進哈馬斯活動，包括為其提供護照和幫助洗錢，這進一步複雜了關係。」阿維夫補充說：「土耳其在川普總統任期內感到欣慰，與拜登形成對比，拜登批評過埃爾多安的民主倒退，特別是將土耳其排除在 2021 年民主峰會之外。「在川普的領導下，被釋放出土耳其監獄。然而，儘管川普總體上立場有利，但緊張局勢仍然存在。川普在其任期內五次對土耳其實施制裁，而一些關鍵問題，如美國對庫爾德人的支持以及土耳其購買俄羅斯 S-400 防空導彈系統，仍然存在分歧。」「這是否標誌著一個新篇章的開始，或者緊張局勢繼續掩蓋他們個人的友誼，這還有待觀察，」阿維夫指出。有些人對川普持懷疑態度，他們認為川普正在轉變政策，將迫使以色列可能過早地結束戰爭，以根除加沙地帶的哈馬斯恐怖分子，並消滅北部邊境的真主黨恐怖分子及其設施。曾在奧巴馬政府擔任國務院副助理國務卿的喬爾·魯賓告訴 Digital：「川普 2.0 將如何在中東運作是一個懸而未決的問題。與川普 1.0 不同，他擁有一個更加孤立主義的副總統 JD Vance，同時他也告訴納坦雅胡結束加沙的戰爭。雖然他表示對與伊朗達成協議以解決其核計劃感興趣，但他有對伊朗採取侵略行動的歷史，而且他的通信在競選期間受到該政權的攻擊，這可能會加劇不信任和懷疑。」「但他在早期想要關注國內問題的根本原因，很可能決定他在早期的政策，同時他努力避免國際糾紛，」魯賓補充說。「我認為，如果中東爆發衝突，給他帶來麻煩，特別是通過加劇戰爭，他將努力撲滅這些衝突，同時不會對解決以色列和巴勒斯坦之間長期存在的挑戰制定一個雄心勃勃的議程。」本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

2024-11-08

在全球新一輪科技革命浪潮下，作為貿易新業態，跨境電子商務借助完善的物流體系和數字化平台，既打通了國際供應鏈和產業鏈，也讓傳統貿易更為高效、便捷，成為拉動中國外貿增長的新動能。國家海關總署的最新初步測算數據顯示，今年前三季度，我國跨境電商進出口達人民幣1.88萬億元，增長11.5%。11月8日，專注於家具家居類產品的頂級線上零售商傲基股份（02519.HK）在港交所主板掛牌，成為香港資本市場炙手可熱的生力軍，迎來發展里程碑。已成功打造高成長底色的傲基股份，擁有扎實的基本面與領先的市場地位，是可持續增長潛力較大的稀缺標的，有望受到長線價值投資者的青睞。產品組合多元化，物流效率處於行業高水平近年，物美價廉的家具家居類產品日益受到歐美消費者歡迎，且隨著數字經濟的快速發展，消費者的購物偏好逐漸從線下轉移到線上，使得線上渠道成為家具家居類產品市場的主要增長推動力。根據弗若斯特沙利文的資料，於2023，全球家具家居類產品市場B2C電商的GMV為3,258億美元，並預期2028年將達到5,885億美元，2023年至2028年的複合年增長率為12.6%，保持良好增勢。從市場格局來看，全球家具家居類B2C電商市場較為分散，按2023年的GMV計，成立於2010年的傲基股份排名第五，同時公司在中國賣家的家具家居類產品B2C海外電商市場中排名第一，位居行業頭部地位。公司的產品組合多樣、優質且具競爭力，家具家居類產品主要包括床、書櫃、衣櫃、抽屜櫃、梳妝台和梳妝凳、食品櫃、邊櫃、沙發及戶外家具，具有古典、現代、工業及簡約等多種風格，此外，亦提供電動工具類、家用電器類、消費電子類以及運動健康類產品。為快速開發多元化產品，保障產品質量，傲基股份不僅搭建完善的數字化供應鏈管理系統，亦設立全球多級倉儲物流網絡，並開發了專有的物流解決方案管理系統，以有效應對不斷變化的市場需求。截至2024年4月30日，公司已與575家製造合作夥伴合作，能在40天內將新產品從設計階段到完成打样，並在生產後50天內上架销售，而行業慣例分別超過45天和90天，運營效率大幅領先同業。同時，在洛杉磯、休斯頓、新澤西、芝加哥等美國主要港口城市及歐洲（主要是德國）運營27個海外倉儲設施，總建築面積超過550萬平方英尺。在中大件物流解決方案方面，傲基股份已累計為合共超過700家電商公司提供物流解決方案，於2021年、2022年、2023年、2023年前4個月及2024年前4個月，分別完成超過3.2百萬份、4.4百萬份、6.1百萬份、1.8百萬份及2.5百萬份訂單。根據弗若斯特沙利文的資料，按2023年採用海外倉模式的B2C出口電商物流解決方案產生的收入計，公司旗下深圳西郵智倉在中國所有B2C出口電商物流解決方案提供商中排名第四，且在所有專注於中大件的提供商中排名第一。靈活應變，穩健增長彰顯經營韌性傲基股份通過一體化供應鏈、數字化管理系統以及廣泛而完善的倉儲網絡，傲基股份在高效的物流系統和高效運營方面建立了優勢，迅速成為中國B2C海外電商市場領先的市場參與者，擁有ALLEWIE、IRONCK、LIKIMIO、SHA CERLIN、HOSTACK及FOTOSOK等全球熱門品牌，消費者基礎逐步穩固。於2023年，公司有11個品牌的GMV超過人民幣1億元。在這一過程中，面對瞬息萬變的市場形勢，傲基股份以靈活的應變能力適時精進業務策略，助力其穿越週期，維持良好的經營韌性和成長韌性。例如，為降低亞馬遜事件的影響，公司對網店佈局進行優化，並完善了品牌戰略，在專注於家具家居類產品的同時，投入大量時間及資源培養多元化的品牌及產品組合。公司亦已在沃爾瑪及Wayfair等其他領先電商平台上建立業務，開闢出更多營收渠道。由此，在經歷亞馬遜事件後，傲基股份的整體財務表現迅速恢復，來自亞馬遜平台的收入佔比從2021年的83.9%，逐年下降至2024年前4個月的53.2%。於2023年及2024年前4個月，公司分別實現收入約人民幣86.83億元、28.34億元，同比增長22.3%及16.9%；淨利潤約5.20億元、、1.89億元，同比增長133.1%及 96.2%。截至2024年4月30日，現金及現金等價物達人民幣9.38億元。伴隨其香港IPO順利完成，傲基股份的投資價值也得到充分的展現。翹首未來，公司將堅持以「連接世界，創造美好」為使命，持續為客戶創造價值，滿足客戶需求，進一步夯實在家具家居類產品全球B2C電商市場的領導地位，努力成為一家具有全球化視野的跨國公司，引領行業可持續發展。 Copyright 2024 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

2024-11-08

香港, 2024年11月8日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 盈立證券發佈報告，給予深泛聯（CNF.US）"推薦"評級，目標價3.05美元，潛在漲幅131%。報告指出，深泛聯作為中國領先的中小微企業貸款服務商，其獨創的貸款合夥人平台服務模式實現了與合作夥伴的利益共用和風險共擔，2019年度以來，公司採用信託、銀行、券商資金為優先資金，自有資金為夾層資金，合夥人資金為劣後資金的模式，打造了風險共審平台，使得壞賬率遠低於同行業其他頭部企業。2023年，該模式的實際壞賬率僅為1.2%。東方財富資料顯示，深泛聯每股淨資產為8.3美元，而晨星研報最新評估其公允價值為2.02美元。隨著中國A股市場自2024年9月底逐漸回暖，中國經濟築底穩步回升，深泛聯有望進一步擴大市場份額。目前，公司在中國60多個一二線城市擁有100多個網點，簽約合作機構超過2000家，累計服務小微企業客戶超過20萬名，單日貸款額最高超1億人民幣，月均貸款額近15億人民幣。盈立證券強調，深泛聯擁有獨特穩健的風控體系和持續創新的管理體系，是國內唯一一家引入合夥人模式、年度放款額度超百億、輕資產高運作的頭部企業。公司的房抵貸貸款比率通常僅為5-6成，極限不超過8成，合夥人機制提供的風險緩釋金作為劣後，進一步降低了系統性風險。此外，深泛聯積極探索供應鏈金融領域，並尋求在東南亞各國拓展新途徑，展現出長遠的戰略格局和深度的全球視野。2024年11月7日收盤價對應的靜態市盈率和動態市盈率分別為4.28和5.24倍，遠低於行業龍頭的10-20倍PE，因此盈立證券給予公司"推薦"評級。 Copyright 2024 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

川普勝選後，法國總統馬克宏詢問歐盟是否「準備好捍衛」歐洲利益

2024-11-08

(SeaPRwire) - 在当选总统唐纳德·特朗普取得决定性胜利后，法国总统马克龙向欧盟发出了强烈的信息。在社交媒体平台 X 上分享的一段翻译视频中，马克龙对欧盟说：“ 是一位由美国人民选举出来为美国人民利益而奋斗的领导人。我们欧洲人必须问自己一个问题：我们是否准备好捍卫欧洲人的利益？” 在他继续讲话中，马克龙将欧洲称为世界上的“食草动物”，并呼吁他的欧洲伙伴国家成为“杂食动物”。 “对我来说，很简单，”马克龙说。“世界由食草动物和食肉动物组成。如果我们决定保持食草动物，那么食肉动物就会获胜，我们将成为他们的市场。”马克龙在担任总统期间一直在寻求摆脱美国和中国等贸易对手的利益。周四在布达佩斯举行的会议是一个机会，可以让欧洲概述其未来几年的目标，包括支持乌克兰对抗俄罗斯的战争。法国总统是周三最早祝贺当选总统特朗普的国家领导人之一，他在 X 上写道：“祝贺您，总统先生。我们已经合作了四年，我们将继续以同样的方式合作。带着您的信念和我的信念。带着尊重和雄心。为了更多和平与繁荣。”马克龙今年因在 6 月呼吁提前举行选举而遭到本国人民的抨击，他险胜极右翼政党国民联盟的玛丽娜·勒庞。移民问题一直是马克龙在政治上的痛点，根据 Statista 分享的 2022 年数据，法国有 870 万外国出生居民。根据法国法律，埃马纽埃尔·马克龙必须在 2027 年下台，不能再次竞选总统。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Transgene and NEC Present New Data Confirming Clinical Proof of Principle for Neoantigen Cancer Vaccine, TG4050, in Head & Neck Cancer at SITC 2024

2024-11-08

Strasbourg, France & Tokyo, Japan, Nov 8, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Transgene (Euronext Paris: TNG), a biotech company that designs and develops virus-based immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer, and NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701), a leader in IT, network and AI technologies, today announced 24.1 month median follow-up data from the ongoing randomized Phase I trial of TG4050 in the adjuvant treatment of head and neck cancers. The data will be presented in a poster at the Society for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer (SITC) 2024 Annual Meeting, November 9.TG4050 is an individualized immunotherapy being developed for solid tumors that is based on Transgene’s myvac® platform and powered by NEC’s cutting-edge AI capabilities designed to optimize antigen selection.After a median follow up of 24.1 months, all 16 patients who received TG4050 as adjuvant immunotherapy after completion of an adjuvant standard of care remain disease-free and have not relapsed. Out of the 16 patients in the control observation arm, 3 patients have relapsed. There remains a high medical need for these head and neck cancer patients, as approximately 30% of them are expected to experience a relapse within 24 months after standard surgery and adjuvant chemoradiotherapy.Immune responses targeting selected neoantigens were identified in 100% of patients who received TG4050, demonstrating the strong immunogenicity of the cancer vaccine, with both de novo and amplified responses. An analysis over 7 months also shows that immune responses are sustained, during the induction and boost periods.All treatment-related adverse events continue to be mild to moderate.Pr. Le Tourneau, Head of the Department of Drug Development and Innovation (D3i) at Institut Curie, and Principal Investigator, said: "It is highly encouraging to see confirmation of TG4050’s clinical and immune response data after a median follow-up of 24.1-months. There remains a significant unmet need in head and neck cancer patients in the adjuvant setting. TG4050 has demonstrated its potential to prime an adaptive immune response against tumor antigens and prevent relapse in patients with locally advanced resected head and neck squamous cell carcinoma."Dr. Emmanuelle Dochy, Chief Medical Officer of Transgene, added: "We are very encouraged to observe that all the patients treated with our neoantigen cancer vaccine TG4050 remain disease-free after a median follow-up of 24.1 months. Looking at these results and at the long-lasting immune response, we are confident that TG4050 has the potential to benefit these patients, who still face a significant risk of relapse with current therapies. A Phase II part of our trial is currently enrolling patients internationally, with the aim of further confirming these promising findings."Motoo Nishihara, Corporate EVP, and CTO, at NEC, added: "These results illustrate the power of our collaboration with Transgene and our ability to develop a personalized approach to cancer patient treatment using our proprietary artificial intelligence and machine learning models. We have built a strong and compelling clinical data set to support the benefits of TG4050 as an individualized immunotherapy, and we remain committed to bringing novel AI-based treatments to patients across the globe."The SITC poster can be viewed in-person during the poster presentation at the SITC 2024 meeting and can be accessed on Transgene’s website on November 9.Building on these promising data, the randomized Phase I trial has been expanded to a randomized Phase I/II trial in the adjuvant setting of head and neck cancer NCT04183166), which is currently enrolling patients in a Phase II part.Poster detailsAbstract Number: 650Title: Randomized phase I trial of adjuvant individualized TG4050 vaccine in patients with locally advanced resected HPV-negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC)Presenting Author: C.

澳洲前总理在特朗普赢得大选后删除批评推文：他“最具破坏性的总统”

2024-11-08

(SeaPRwire) - 澳大利亚前总理兼现任驻美国大使凯文·鲁德在当选总统唐纳德·特朗普赢得总统大选后删除了对他的批评推文。据 NDTV 报道，鲁德在 2020 年的一篇帖子中将特朗普描述为“历史上最具破坏性的总统”。他曾担任澳大利亚工党领导人，于 2007 年至 2010 年担任澳大利亚第 26 任总理，并在短暂担任澳大利亚外交部长后于 2013 年再次当选。这些评论是在鲁德担任亚洲协会政策研究所主席时发表的，哥伦比亚大学世界领袖论坛将该研究所描述为“致力于利用第二轨道外交帮助政府和企业解决亚洲内部以及亚洲与西方之间的政策挑战”。据大使鲁德办公室向 Digital 提供的一份声明，"在担任一家独立的美国智库负责人之前，鲁德先生经常评论美国政治。出于对美国总统职位的尊重，以及在特朗普总统当选后，大使鲁德现已从他的个人网站和社交媒体渠道中删除了这些过去的评论。""这样做是为了消除这种评论被误解为反映他对大使职位的立场，以及澳大利亚政府观点的可能性。大使鲁德期待与及其团队合作，继续加强美澳联盟，"声明总结道。大使鲁德此后在社交媒体网站 X 上发布了几篇帖子，祝贺当选总统特朗普，其中包括一篇他声称自己亲自给他打电话的帖子。鲁德在 11 月 6 日的帖子中写道：“今天早上很高兴与特朗普总统通话，亲自祝贺他赢得大选。我们谈到了联盟的重要性，以及澳美关系在安全、AUKUS、贸易和投资方面的强大实力。我期待在两国利益范围内共同努力。”AUKUS 协议是于 2021 年建立的美国、澳大利亚和英国之间的一项协议，旨在促进印太地区的安全。大使凯文·鲁德办公室没有对 Digital 的询问提供进一步的评论。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

澳洲宣布计划禁止 16 岁以下儿童使用社交媒体

2024-11-07

(SeaPRwire) - 澳洲政府周四宣布了一项据称是全球领先的立法，将对儿童开始使用社交媒体设定 16 岁的年龄限制，并要求平台负责确保遵守规定。"社交媒体正在损害我们的孩子，我呼吁停止这种行为，"总理阿尔巴尼斯表示。这项立法将在今年最后两周的议会会议期间提交，该会议将于 11 月 18 日开始。阿尔巴尼斯告诉记者，年龄限制将在法律通过后 12 个月生效。包括 TikTok、Instagram 和 Facebook 在内的平台将需要利用这一年时间来想出如何排除 16 岁以下的澳洲儿童。"我和成千上万的父母、祖父母、阿姨和叔叔谈过。他们和我一样，都非常担心孩子的网络安全，"阿尔巴尼斯说。这项提议是在世界各国政府都在努力应对如何监管年轻人使用 TikTok 和 Instagram 等技术之际提出的。社交媒体平台将因违反年龄限制而受到处罚，但未成年儿童及其父母不会受到处罚。"社交媒体平台将有义务证明他们正在采取合理的措施防止访问。父母或年轻人不会承担这种责任，"阿尔巴尼斯说。拥有 Facebook 和 Instagram 的 Meta 的安全主管安提戈尼·戴维斯表示，公司将尊重政府想要引入的任何年龄限制。"然而，我们缺乏更深入的讨论，讨论如何实施保护措施，否则我们可能会让自己感觉好受一些，就像我们采取了行动，但青少年和父母并没有发现自己处于更好的境地，"戴维斯在一份声明中说。她补充说，在应用程序商店和操作系统中提供更强大的工具，让父母可以控制孩子可以使用哪些应用程序，将是一个 "简单而有效的解决方案"。X 未立即回应周四的评论请求。 TikTok 拒绝发表评论。澳洲数字产业集团 (DIGI) 是澳洲数字产业的倡导者，将年龄限制描述为 "对 21 世纪挑战的 20 世纪应对"。"与其通过禁令阻断访问，我们应该采取平衡的方法，创建适合年龄的空间，培养数字素养，并保护年轻人免受网络伤害，"DIGI 常务董事苏妮塔·博斯在一份声明中说。超过 100 位在技术和儿童福利相关领域拥有专业知识的人士上个月联名致函阿尔巴尼斯，反对社交媒体年龄限制，认为其是 "一个过于粗略的工具，无法有效地解决风险"。青少年心理健康服务 ReachOut 的主管杰基·哈兰反对禁令。她说，澳洲 73% 的年轻人通过社交媒体获取 ReachOut 的支持。"我们对禁令感到不安。我们认为年轻人可能会绕过禁令，我们担心这会将行为推向地下，然后如果事情出了问题，年轻人就不太可能从父母和看护人那里得到支持，因为他们担心会惹上麻烦，"哈兰说。儿童心理学家菲利普·谭表示，12 或 13 岁的最低年龄更容易执行。"说实话，我真正担心的是社交媒体问题只会转入地下，"谭说。澳洲国立大学律师副教授菲斯·戈登担心，将儿童与这些平台分开可能会在家庭内部造成压力。阿尔巴尼斯表示，在某些情况下，例如需要继续访问教育服务，将会有例外情况。但父母同意不等于 16 岁以下的儿童有权访问社交媒体。今年早些时候，政府开始了一项为期 12 个月的试点项目。澳洲的 eSafety Commissioner (网络安全专员) 是监管合规的在线监管机构，将利用试点项目的结果，为平台提供有关其可以采取哪些合理措施的指导。通讯部长桑迪·罗兰表示，为期一年的过渡期将确保年龄限制能够以 "非常实际的方式"实施。"确实需要加强处罚，以确保遵守规定，"罗兰说。"所有在澳洲运营的公司，无论是在澳洲注册还是其他地方注册，都必须遵守澳洲法律，否则将承担后果，"她补充说。主要反对党原则上支持 16 岁的年龄限制。反对党议员保罗·弗莱彻表示，这些平台已经拥有执行这种年龄禁令的技术。"这实际上不是技术可行性问题，而是他们是否愿意这样做，以及他们是否愿意为此付出代价的问题，"弗莱彻告诉澳洲广播公司。"这些平台说：'这太难了，我们做不到，澳洲会变成落后地区，这不可能实现。'但如果你制定了好的立法，并且坚持自己的立场，你就可以取得成果，"弗莱彻补充说。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

德國總理朔爾茨拒絕不信任投票，執政聯盟崩潰

2024-11-07

(SeaPRwire) - 德國總理蕭茲週四拒絕了對他不信任投票的呼籲，此前他解雇了財政部長，這表明他的聯合政府正在垮台，他說將以少數派政府執政到明年初。議會最大反對派陣營領袖、基民盟的默茨在蕭茲週三解雇財政部長克里斯蒂安·林德納後，要求立即舉行選舉，原因是林德納在試圖修復經濟時表現出不合作態度。 "財政部長沒有表現出為了我們國家的利益而執行提議的意願。我不想再讓我們的國家忍受這種行為，"蕭茲說。此舉為德國議會於 1 月 15 日舉行信任投票鋪平了道路，預計將導致 3 月舉行選舉，而不是之前設定的 9 月選舉時間表。但有些人呼籲在 2024 年進行這項程序。"聯合政府在德國聯邦議院不再具有多數優勢，因此我們呼籲總理…立即舉行信任投票，最遲在下週初，"默茨說。蕭茲週四強調，他不會採取任何措施將信任投票提前到 1 月之前。 "公民很快將有機會重新決定如何繼續，"總理根據美聯社的一篇報導說，該報導引用了德國通訊社（DPA）的說法。"這就是他們的權利。因此，我將在明年年初將信任投票提交給聯邦議院。"蕭茲指責財政部長違反了他的信任，因為林德納公開呼籲一項計劃，該計劃將為少數頂尖收入者創造價值數十億的減稅措施，同時削減所有退休人員的養老金。"這是不道德的，"蕭茲說。據報導，經濟政策分歧是在執政聯盟——自以來一直執政——試圖填補德國 2025 年預算中一個價值數十億歐元的漏洞時出現的。據報導，蕭茲希望能夠與他的聯合政府——包括他領導的左傾社民黨以及綠黨——以及默茨領導的中右翼政黨的成員合作，在未來幾週內通過立法來解決他們在 2025 年的預算缺口。"我們不能讓德國政府在幾個月內沒有多數支持，然後再競選幾個月，然後可能還要進行幾週的聯合政府談判，"默茨反對蕭茲的計劃說。鑑於蕭茲的政黨不再佔多數，預計他將在即將到來的信任投票中失敗，屆時德國總統可以在 21 天內解散議會，並最早在 1 月迫使舉行提前選舉。"在這些 21 天內，我們將有足夠的時間弄清楚我們是否需要共同決定任何問題，"默茨在承諾與少數派政府合作之前說。"我們當然準備舉行談判…我們也準備對我們的國家承擔責任。"本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。
