5月6日到10日，中国网红“豪哥哥”制作的视频，以印度歌舞风格调侃印巴之间的空战冲突。
印巴冲突的过程中，印度的战机被巴基斯坦利用中国制造的歼10战斗机打下。路透社引述美国官员消息说，至少两架印度战机被打下，其中至少一架是法国制造“阵风”战斗机。
“豪哥哥”在视频里嘲笑印度丢人，飞机没回家、钱都白花，气得印度勃然大怒。印度官方强调，印度的飞行员都安全回家，网上流传的飞机残骸照片是中国政府“有组织的政治宣传”。
目前，印度和巴基斯坦已经达成停火协议。中国与印度的民间舆论口水战还在继续，印度的飞机到底有没有被中国战机打下，“豪哥哥”的视频是不是在羞辱印度？
这个风波又会对中印关系构成什么影响？这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红与《联合早报》中国新闻资深高级记者于泽远一起分析这场从战场延烧到网络的“信息战”。

中国网红改编印度神曲暗讽印巴空战 印度政府抗议 于泽远：中国军火成为印巴交战的大赢家A viral video by Chinese influencer "Brother Hao" has sparked controversy and fuelled nationalistic sentiment online by parodying the alleged downing of Indian fighter jets during a recent clash between India and Pakistan.
Set to a popular Indian tune, the video humorously depicts the destruction of a newly acquired Indian aircraft, implying both a military setback and financial loss for India. Its rapid spread on Chinese social media has coincided with a surge in nationalistic pride, with many users celebrating what they perceive as India’s embarrassment.
In response to online narratives and media reports from some Chinese outlets, Indian officials have asserted that all their pilots returned safely and have dismissed such claims as disinformation.
While India and Pakistan have since agreed to a ceasefire, the video continues to stoke heated exchanges on social media between Chinese and Indian netizens, raising concerns about the impact on already strained China-India relations.
In this episode of Global Heartbeat podcast, join host Han Yonghong and Lianhe Zaobao's China News Copy Editor Yu Zeyuan as they delve deeper into this unfolding story.

中美贸易会谈星期天在瑞士日内瓦落幕。会后，两国发表了《中美日内瓦经贸会谈联合声明》，达成多项重要共识，超出市场预期。
总的来说，美国对中国商品的加征关税从145%大幅降至30%，中国对美国商品的关税则从125%降至10%。中国也相应暂停或取消对美方的非关税反制措施。双方还同意建立机制，继续进行协商。
美国总统特朗普表示，这是中美经贸关系的全面重置。他还透露，预计将在周末与中国国家主席习近平通电话。这项利好消息带动全球股市上扬。
中国此前曾坚定表示“不跪”。那这次，是中国在让步？还是美国做出了妥协？

Concluding talks in Geneva, the two nations agreed to a mutual reduction of tariffs and the suspension of retaliatory measures. This agreement, described by President Trump and officials as a major reset, aims to foster a more stable and predictable trade relationship between the world's two largest economies.
While the news triggered a surge in global stock markets, experts remain cautiously optimistic. The agreement establishes mechanisms for ongoing dialogue, crucial for addressing the complex web of trade issues that still separate the two nations.
Are the US and China entering a new era of cooperation, or is this merely a temporary pause in their longstanding trade tensions?

北京中日友好医院胸外科一名医生的桃色新闻，近日在中国网络上引发广泛关注，许多网民义愤填膺。
事件的起因如下：肖医生的妻子公开指控他出轨，并与多名女性保持不正当关系。其中一次，肖医生甚至为了支持情人董小姐，将病人独自留在手术台上长达40分钟。
然而，事件中被揭露出更大问题的并非肖医生，而是董小姐本人。她被指学历不符合要求，却能进入协和医学院博士项目；其博士论文据称也仅有短短30页等问题，引发质疑。
这起事件牵涉医德医风、教育公平、学术腐败与阶层固化等多个层面。这到底是怎么一回事？
这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红与《联合早报》中国新闻资深高级记者于泽远分析梳理“董小姐”事件以及中国古代“门阀士族”式的关系网是否正在回归？

于泽远：董小姐事件中的待解之谜 下午察：医院婚外情新闻揭开特权一角？A scandal at Beijing’s China-Japan Friendship Hospital has ignited public outrage and exposed deep concerns about privilege and corruption in China’s medical and educational systems.
It began with accusations of infidelity against a thoracic surgeon, Dr Xiao Fei, whose wife exposed his multiple affairs with colleagues. One alleged tryst involved Dr Xiao leaving a patient unattended on the operating table for 40 minutes.
The controversy soon widened to questions about one partner, Dr Dong Xiying, and her unconventional entry into a prestigious medical programme. As official investigations probe both personal misconduct and systemic loopholes, the case has become a flashpoint for debates on fairness, transparency, and the power of connections in modern China.

4月26日，台湾两大在野党在台北市凯达格兰大道举行“反绿共、战独裁”聚会。
在野国民党籍的立法院长韩国瑜、台北市长蒋万安、台中市长卢秀燕、国民党主席朱立伦都站到台前激情演讲，反对正在如火如荼进行的罢免立法委员运动。朱立伦还喊出了520后罢免总统赖清德的口号。
在野阵营也出现了难得的大和解大团结。第三势力民众党主席黄国昌激情宣誓，“台湾民众党不会害怕，台湾民众党站在对抗赖清德独裁道路上，我们一步都不会退。”
主办方说，426集会吸引了25万民众参加。不过，根据台北市警方的保守估计，这场聚会则是有6万人参加。
这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红与台湾中央警察大学国境警察学系助理教授王智胜探讨蓝白合作举行的426集会是否会成为台湾政治的转捩点？

台湾特稿：美国高关税狂烧 台湾大罢免不熄 蓝白集会“战独裁” 朱立伦称520后将罢免赖清德Last Saturday, tens of thousands gathered in Taipei for a major opposition rally organised by the Kuomintang (KMT), voicing concerns over what they see as increasing authoritarian tendencies under the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).
The "Anti-Green Terror, Fight Dictatorship" rally featured prominent figures including former Kaohsiung Mayor Han Kuo-yu, Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an, Taichung Mayor Lu Shiow-yen, and KMT Chairman Eric Chu.
The rally comes amid a wave of recall campaigns targeting legislators, primarily from the pan-blue camp, and accusations from the KMT of political persecution by the DPP government.
Notably, KMT Chairman Eric Chu has called for the recall of President Lai Ching-te following his upcoming inauguration anniversary in May. The presence of former Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) chairman Huang Kuo-chang underscored a rare moment of unity among opposition forces.
While organisers claimed attendance reached 250,000, police estimates placed the crowd closer to 60,000. This event highlights growing public scrutiny of the DPP’s governance and raises questions about whether this opposition unity signals a turning point in Taiwan’s political landscape.
Join Global Heartbeat podcast host Han Yong Hong and guest Dr. Arthur Wang Zhin-Sheng, Assistant Professor at Taiwan's Central Police University as they explore the implications of this rally and the evolving dynamics of Taiwanese politics.

美国特朗普政府对英伟达“特供”中国的H20晶片祭出出口管制后，英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋旋风式访华，与中国总理何立峰、中国国际贸易促进委员会会长任鸿斌、上海市长龚正等会面，强调英伟达坚定不移服务中国市场的立场。
黄仁勋指出，中国市场对英伟达非常重要，中国产业的科技实力让人印象深刻，过去30年里让英伟达获益。
据英伟达估计，特朗普政府的禁令将给英伟达带来55亿美元的损失。英伟达、AMD、英特尔等美国晶片企业的股价也都大跌。

专家：美国晶片禁令反助中国创新占领全球市场 黄仁勋赴中国稳市场 学者判断特朗普晶片战略对华不让步The US has intensified its chip war with China by imposing new restrictions on Nvidia’s H20 chips, requiring export licenses and effectively blocking sales to Chinese firms. Nvidia expects the new rules to cost it $5.5 billion, and its stock dropped sharply after the announcement.
Shortly after, CEO Jensen Huang visited China to meet senior officials, underscoring the country’s importance to Nvidia’s business and the global semiconductor industry. Analysts warn these restrictions could accelerate China’s own chip development and boost local competitors like Huawei, potentially diminishing US influence in the sector.

自从3月11日出席中国全国两会闭幕式以后，中共军队的二号人物、中央军委副主席何卫东就没有再公开露面。何卫东没有出现在3月14日的《反分裂国家法》实施20周年座谈会上，也没有参加4月2日在北京通州举行的义务植树活动，更没有现身4月8日的中央周边工作会议。
在这场会议上，中共政治局委员几乎全员出席，除了何卫东。这是不是等于对外证实了何卫东已经出事？他犯了什么问题？
就在这个月初，中共高层也出现了一次罕见的人事异动：中共中央统战部部长石泰峰与中共中央组织部部长李干杰对调了职务。这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红与台湾国立政治大学政治系教授寇健文聊中国高层在短期内出现罕见的人事异动，这里头有什么蹊跷？
延伸阅读：
中共高层出现罕见人事调整 中组部统战部对调一把手 【东谈西论】解放军高层落马 传言不断The sudden disappearance of General He Weidong, Vice Chairman of China's Central Military Commission, has sparked intense speculation about potential power struggles within the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). He Weidong, considered the second-most powerful figure in the Chinese military, has been absent from public view since the closing of the National People's Congress on March 11. His absence from key events, including the 20th anniversary of the Anti-Secession Law, has fuelled rumours of his potential downfall.
Adding to the intrigue is a recent, unexpected reshuffling within the CCP Politburo. Shi Taifeng, former head of the United Front Work Department, and Li Ganjie, former head of the Organisation Department, have swapped positions. This abrupt shift in such crucial roles has further intensified speculation about internal political dynamics.
While some analysts suggest a potential purge within the military, others posit that the reshuffle could be related to broader policy shifts or simply routine personnel changes. The lack of official explanation from Beijing only adds to the mystery surrounding these events.
These developments raise critical questions about the stability of the CCP leadership and the direction of China's political and military trajectory. Is this a sign of Xi Jinping consolidating power, or is there something more at play?
This episode of Global Heartbeat podcast invites Professor Chien-Wen Kou from the Department of Political Science, Taiwan’s National Chengchi University to provide insightful analysis on these recent events and their implications.

美国总统特朗普在4月2日当天如期宣布，将对美国在全球的180个贸易伙伴加征关税。最低的税率是10%，最高则高达50%。
特朗普认为，加征关税会让制造业再次回到美国，让美国再次富有起来。但他的关税主义带来的，却是美国股市连日暴跌。
在中国宣布反制措施后，星期一开盘的亚太股市也全线大跌约10%。
特朗普说，美国需要吃药治病。他给大家开的这剂“关税药”，究竟会给世界带来什么？中美经济会因此脱钩吗？
这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红与新加坡优势研究咨询公司创始人兼CEO张帆及新加坡管理大学李光前商学院副教授傅方剑解析特朗普开的“关税药”如何影响全球的经济体。

吴汉钧：是解放日还是毁国日？ 王舒杨：特朗普实验Global markets are reeling after US President Donald Trump announced sweeping new tariffs on imports from 180 global trade partners. Trump described these tariffs as "medicine" for unfair trade practices, asserting they are necessary to revive American manufacturing and boost the U.S. economy. However, the move has triggered sharp criticism from international leaders and sent global stock markets into a tailspin.
Asian economies are bracing for significant impacts, as some of the highest tariff rates target the region. For example, China faces a cumulative tariff rate of 54%, including earlier duties, while Vietnam and Cambodia face rates as high as 46% and 49%, respectively. China has already announced retaliatory measures, including a 34% tariff on US goods and restrictions on rare earth exports, escalating fears of a global trade war. While Trump insists these measures will level the playing field, critics argue they will harm American consumers, disrupt global supply chains, and strain international trade relations.
The international community is scrambling to respond. Several nations, including Japan and India, are seeking negotiations with the U.S., while others are considering counter-tariffs of their own. The long-term consequences of Trump’s "medicine" remain uncertain, but the immediate impact has been widespread market volatility and growing concerns about a potential global recession.
Tune in to Global Heartbeat for in-depth discussion on the implications of Trump’s tariff policies with Tim Zhang, Founder & CEO of Edge Research, and Fu Fangjian, Associate Professor of Finance at Singapore Management University’s Lee Kong Chian School of Business.

中国人民解放军最近又传出有高层落马。

美国总统特朗普3月4日在国会联席演说中，重申美国要收回巴拿马运河。他还提到，一家美国公司已经宣布计划买下巴拿马运河的两个港口。这家公司，就是著名的股权投资和资产管理公司贝莱德集团。
就在3月4日深夜，香港首富李嘉诚旗下的长江和记实业有限公司宣布，与由贝莱德牵头的财团达成原则性协议。长江和记将向贝莱德出售其在全球23个国家的43个港口，其中包括位于巴拿马运河的两个港口。整个交易涉及228亿美元。
这个消息带动长和股价隔天大涨接近22%，但却激怒了中国大陆。亲北京的香港《大公报》接连发文炮轰李嘉诚“丧权辱国”，“将国家重要战略资产拱手让人”，“交易完美配合美国遏华战略”。据说，中国领导人对此也深感震怒。
李嘉诚向美国财团出售港口，真的会损害中国的国家利益吗？中国政府又可能采取什么手段来阻止？按照程序，长和与贝莱德计划于4月2日进行最后的交割协议签署。到时，这次交易是否真的能够画上句点？

This deal, which includes 43 ports in 23 countries, notably strategic ports along the Panama Canal, has ignited a firestorm of controversy, particularly in China.
The Chinese government and pro-Beijing media have launched scathing criticisms against Li Ka-shing. Critics claim Li is "surrendering national rights" and "handing over important strategic assets" to American interests.
The deal has sparked intense discussions about the complex interplay between business, geopolitics, and national security, raising questions about the role of private companies in strategically sensitive areas.

加拿大执政的自由党于当地时间3月9日举行党内选举，前央行行长马克·卡尼（Mark Carney）以压倒性优势胜出，这意味着他也接任新任总理。
卡尼在胜选演讲中直指美国，表示美国企图占有加拿大的资源、水源和土地，甚至威胁到加拿大人的生活方式。但卡尼强调，加拿大将永远不会成为美国的一部分。
自特朗普当选美国总统以来，加拿大面临日益严峻的挑战。特朗普和美国政府官员多次明示，加拿大应成为美国的第五十一个州。此外，特朗普政府宣布对加拿大和墨西哥的商品加征25%的关税，加拿大民众对这一系列言行强烈反应，激起了两国间的紧张局势，也大幅改变了加拿大国内政治格局。原本支持率奄奄一息的自由党通过坚决对抗美国的姿态，成功扭转了局势，支持率显著回升。
与此同时，中国也对加拿大加征了商品关税。为何加拿大接连遭遇中美两国的双重施压？美加贸易战即将爆发，是否仍有转机？

Carney's speech boldly criticised the United States' ambitions over Canadian resources and strongly affirmed Canada's sovereignty, stating that Canada "will never, ever be part of America in any way, shape, or form". Amid these political shifts, Canada faces mounting pressure, with Trump having previously suggested Canada join the U.S. as its 51st state and signed an executive order imposing a 25% tariff on Canadian goods. The situation is further complicated by China's recent announcement of retaliatory tariffs on Canadian imports.

美国总统特朗普上周宣布，将向对美贸易顺差国征收对等关税。
特朗普下令美国商务部、贸易代表办公室等启动调查，要对贸易伙伴制定对等关税，最早在今年4月实施。有评论人形容特朗普按下了全球贸易战的按钮，他在酝酿一场世界自由贸易秩序的重大革命。
自今年1月20日上任以来，特朗普以及他的亲密战友马斯克等人迅速颠覆了美国的一系列政策，改变现状，包括撤销美国国际开发署，推动联邦政府大裁员，还用关税威胁盟友，并且表示要长期接管加沙地带。

在今年2月初，安华与达信再次见面，讨论加密货币和缅甸局势问题。两人的会面，后来也加入了新加坡前外交部长杨荣文。
马来西亚是今年的亚细安轮值主席国，今年也是 “亚细安共同体愿景 2025” 实施的最后一年。这个组织将制定未来20年的目标，即 “亚细安共同体愿景2045”。

刘惟诚：特朗普回归对亚细安的意义 刘惟诚：马国轮值亚细安主席的考验Malaysia's Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's decision to appoint former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra as an informal advisor on ASEAN affairs has sparked controversy. Thaksin met with Anwar on multiple occasions, including a meeting on a yacht near the Thai border and a later meeting joined by former Singaporean Foreign Minister George Yeo. These meetings focused on pressing regional issues like the Myanmar crisis and the rise of cryptocurrencies.
Anwar's move has raised eyebrows due to Thaksin's controversial past and legal troubles. Critics question the appropriateness of seeking counsel from a figure convicted of corruption, while supporters emphasise Thaksin's experience and regional insights. This appointment comes as Malaysia holds the ASEAN chairmanship for 2025, a crucial year marking the culmination of the "ASEAN Community Vision 2025" and the beginning of a new 20-year vision.
With rising global trade protectionism and escalating geopolitical tensions, ASEAN faces both opportunities and challenges. Anwar's leadership will be tested as he navigates these complex issues, particularly the ongoing crisis in Myanmar.
This episode of Global Heartbeat podcast features Assistant Professor (Media and Politics) Liew Wui Chern from University of Tunku Abdul Rahman, offering insights into these unfolding events. Join us as we explore the ambitions and strategies that will shape ASEAN's future.

于泽远：DeepSeek冲击波 韩咏红：中国AI科学家的“深度探索”The world of artificial intelligence is abuzz with the emergence of DeepSeek, a Chinese AI language model challenging the dominance of established players like OpenAI's ChatGPT. DeepSeek has undoubtedly sent ripples through the tech industry, raising questions about the future of AI development and the global balance of power. Its purported ability to match ChatGPT's functionality at a fraction of the training cost has sparked both excitement and concern.
This has resulted in notable declines in the stock prices of major American tech companies, with NVIDIA experiencing a significant drop.
DeepSeek's rise has also fueled geopolitical anxieties, particularly regarding the US-China tech rivalry. While the extent of its impact on US tech giants remains to be seen, DeepSeek's emergence highlights the rapid advancements in AI and the potential for disruptive innovation from unexpected players.
As AI evolves, questions arise about the balance between human emotion and machine logic, and whether we are nearing an era where machines could replace human roles.
Join host Han Yonghong and guest Tim Zhang, Edge Research Founder & CEO, as they explore these developments and their global implications.

今年1月3日，中国演员王星抵达泰国曼谷。他原以为自己是去拍戏，没想到却落入了电信诈骗集团的圈套。下飞机后，他被拐骗至缅甸的妙瓦底县。
幸运的是，王星有一个机智又爱他的女朋友。她一方面报警求助，另一方面通过社交媒体发声，最终成功让王星在1月7日获救。
在飞回上海的飞机上，王星回忆了自己的遭遇。他说，当时过了河，竟然完全没有意识到自己已经离开泰国。他被关押在一个地方，和他一起被关的还有大约50人，所有人都被剃光了头。
王星的经历并非个例。在他获救后，有超过170名怀疑家人被困在缅甸的中国人发起联署，恳求当局伸出援手。联合国的数据显示，大约有20万人在柬埔寨和缅甸的诈骗中心工作。这些人遭到囚禁、虐待，被迫从事诈骗活动。
由于诈骗集团的主要目标是中国人与华人，从事诈骗工作的人中也有不少中国受害者。有些人甚至形容，中国人就是“行走的人民币”。
这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红与马来西亚太平洋研究中心首席顾问胡逸山解析东南亚为何成了绑架和诈骗中国人的犯罪温床？各国政府又应该采取哪些行动来打击这些犯罪活动？

The story of Chinese actor Wang Xing's harrowing escape from a Myanmar scam centre has sent shockwaves through the Chinese community and raised concerns about safety in Southeast Asia. Lured to Thailand under the guise of a filming opportunity in early January 2025, Wang Xing was abducted upon arrival and trafficked across the border to Myawaddy, Myanmar. He found himself imprisoned with around 50 other individuals, all of whom were forced to shave their heads. Thanks to his resourceful girlfriend, who alerted authorities and rallied support on social media, Wang Xing was rescued within days.
His experience sheds light on a disturbing trend of kidnappings linked to Southeast Asian fraud operations. Following his rescue, over 170 Chinese families reported similar disappearances of loved ones in Myanmar, highlighting the alarming prevalence of human trafficking and forced labour in the region. The United Nations estimates a staggering 200,000 people are trapped in these scam centres across Southeast Asia, subjected to horrific conditions and forced to participate in criminal activities targeting Chinese communities worldwide. The lucrative nature of these scams, preying on cultural and linguistic ties, has led to Chinese individuals being cynically referred to as "walking RMB" by criminal gangs. The fear became so real that even Hong Kong singer Eason Chan cancelled his Bangkok concert due to safety concerns for his fans.
Join host Han Yong Hong as she explores the rise of scam centres in Southeast Asia, impact on tourism and potential solutions to this growing crisis with expert analysis from Dr Oh Ei Sun, Principal Adviser, Pacific Research Centre of Malaysia.
