Subscriber exclusive关于芯片间谍活动，关键在于……虽然 Pax Silica 成员致力于防范中国窃取其工业机密，但他们彼此之间也是激烈的竞争对手。Han-Wei Liu and Ching-Fu LinPublished 4 hours agoUpdated 2 hours agoEnglish本译文由 AI Singapore 的 SEA-LION 模型自动生成，内容请以原文为准。全球领先的 AI 芯片设计商 Nvidia 正在调查有关中国情报机构针对其首席执行官 Jensen Huang 的报道。其董事会表示，没有理由相信国家安全受到损害或公司机密遭到泄露，中国则驳斥这些报道，称其毫无根据。与此同时，Huang 就一段婚外情道歉，据报道对象是 Alice Huang，一位曾就职于新加坡云服务公司 Megaspeed 的中国高管。这一事件使芯片间谍活动成为焦点，因为中国正在与美国及其技术伙伴展开争夺 AI 主导权的较量。据报道，美国官员正在调查 Megaspeed 是否协助中国企业规避对 Nvidia 芯片的出口管制。有一个挑战较少受到关注。芯片技术的争夺不仅发生在中国与美国主导的阵营之间，也存在于盟友自身的芯片企业之间。这些企业在技术和人才方面激烈竞争，而其政府也在不断收紧相关法律。9月13日，韩国在此背景下亮出了最新武器。它对其间谍法进行了七十年来首次重大修订，以保护其先进存储技术免受竞争对手侵害。在法律修订之前，该国对间谍活动的狭义定义仅适用于“敌对国家”，实际上指的是拥有核武器的朝鲜。但现在，法院可判处那些在外国国家或同等组织的指示下或与其接触时，向其传递国家机密的人三至30年监禁。这项修订被广泛视为韩国——拥有全球领先高带宽内存芯片制造商的国家——保护其芯片技术的努力，尽管此类技术仍须符合“国家机密”的资格。虽然未点名，但明显针对的是中国，后者在其芯片技术方面正飞速前进。十名前 Samsung Electronics 员工因涉嫌向中国的 CXMT 泄露技术而被起诉。通过修订法律，首尔可能是在向华盛顿发出信号，表明它不会成为 Pax Silica 的薄弱环节。Pax Silica 是由美国主导的倡议，旨在确保 AI 等前沿技术的供应链安全，同时遏制中国的主导地位。有志成为芯片强国的国家面临压力，需采用更严厉的工业间谍法，并对芯片企业实施更严格的监控。但这暴露了 Pax Silica 核心的紧张关系。其成员（包括新加坡）是拥有共同经济安全关切的合作伙伴，同时也是同一行业内的竞争对手；保护联盟对中国领先优势的法律，也可用于保护各成员对合作伙伴的领先优势。Top storiesExplore top stories from all sections in one placeSingaporeSingaporeWorldBusinessSingaporeOld trades, new cafes: Can Jalan Besar keep its charm?Singaporean of the Year finalists: SG Assist founders’ struggles led them to support other caregivers‘Trump has cost us’: After midterm losses, MAGA asks if it’s overDBS, OCBC, UOB shares drop after Q3 results; SATS hit by work pass concerns: Markets this weekThree Singaporeans injured in Taiwan crash after car hits taxi head-on: Reports不同的法律泄露案件也贯穿 Pax Silica。2025年8月，台湾检察官起诉一名前 TSMC 工程师向其新雇主 Tokyo Electron 泄露商业机密，随后起诉 Tokyo Electron 的台湾分公司。该工程师说服了两位仍在 TSMC 工作的前同事，向其提供有关公司 2nm 工艺数据的机密信息。2026年，法院判处这些人最高10年监禁，并对 Tokyo Electron 当地分公司处以约500万美元（640万新元）的罚款。台湾拥有强有力的法律来处理此类违规行为，三人均根据涉及国家核心关键技术的《国家安全法》（National Security Act）以及《商业机密法》（Trade Secrets Act）被起诉。相比之下，日本尚未制定一般的反间谍法。首尔现在可将涉及国家机密和外国国家的泄露行为作为间谍活动起诉，而东京主要只能将其作为窃取公司机密来处理。此翻译对您是否有帮助？See more onSpyingSemiconductorsChinaTechnology sectorNvidia

There must be room for a normal life after Singapore politics

=====

More good people will be encouraged to join politics if there is a higher chance of a smoother transition back to civilian life when the time is right.

=====

https://www.straitstimes.com/opinion/there-must-be-room-for-a-normal-life-after-singapore-politics

=====

Recent reports highlighted that former Senior Minister of State Koh Poh Koon has returned to Singapore General Hospital as a colorectal surgeon.This piece of news is more important than it appears at first glance. It shows that Singapore politicians can transition back to regular careers once they step down from political office or leave politics. Put simply, politics is not and need not be a dead end.Why does this matter? This is linked directly to political talent. There has been a longstanding discussion on attracting talented and well-intentioned Singaporeans to join politics, but less attention is paid to the exit mechanics. The two are deeply connected, in fact.

=====

The recent parliamentary debate on political salaries highlighted that political compensation is more about making the personal and financial trade-offs less prohibitively steep for political office holders.People hesitate to give up lucrative careers and take the plunge into politics, especially if they don’t know how the move will pan out. With Singapore’s political landscape becoming more competitive and diverse, there is no guarantee how long an elected MP’s political career will last, unlike in the relatively politically placid days of previous decades.Such uncertainty could deter good people from joining politics in the first place. Meanwhile, the personal opportunity cost of such a career switch – of lost seniority, accumulated capital and experience in a former profession – for someone successful and comfortable in his or her craft has gone up.But if we can nurture and sustain an environment in which a talented person could return more seamlessly to another career if his or her sojourn in politics did not work out, or if he or she decided that his or her political life had run its course, more might be inclined to dip their toes in politics.

=====

For a country like Singapore, with its limited talent pool, the benefits can be immense, both in terms of attracting good people to politics and subsequently putting their skills to other uses once their political race is run.This will require the evolution and sustenance of a gentler political culture – one that sees politics as one of many ways to contribute to society, and that one can still contribute as a private citizen unencumbered by one’s past as a politician.

=====

Still contributing

Former MPs and political office holders can still contribute in a variety of ways. Former public office holders with decades of experience may also be assigned new ones within the public sector, in government-linked companies or corporate boards.For instance, former Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat now serves as chairman of the National Research Foundation and a GIC Board director. Former Senior Minister Teo Chee Hean chairs the board of Temasek Holdings and is a senior adviser in the Prime Minister’s Office.Former Coordinating Minister Khaw Boon Wan, who retired from politics in 2020, just stepped down as chairman of SPH Media Holdings and SPH Media Trust, the publisher of this newspaper.

=====

Former opposition MPs have also moved on. Faisal Manap, vice-chairperson of the Workers’ Party (WP), has embarked on a new career in real estate. Former WP MP Leon Perera was reported in January 2025 taking on a new role in his company as an executive director based in New York City.It helps that most former MPs on both sides of the political aisle had continued in their professional careers while serving as legislators. This has helped in the post-politics transition. There is personal usefulness of backbencher MPs having a day job while in politics.

=====

There are opportunity costs to being away from one’s professional life for an extended period.

=====

An extended time away from one’s profession would necessarily mean that one would be quite out of touch with the rapid developments in one’s areas of expertise. It will take time and effort to rebuild one’s career and renew networks so vital in professional life.This explains why, for every former politician who has a substantive post-politics career, there are many who did not find it easy to find or settle into careers after politics.Reintegration becomes harder because politicians have higher profiles, are often under much greater scrutiny and may even be judged more harshly by those who may disagree with their political leanings.From time to time, politicians may have their political careers ended unceremoniously because of severe errors of judgment or personal indiscretions. They all paid their dues whether serving a prison sentence or being subjected to opprobrium, and having to deal with the fallout to their professional and personal lives, including on family and loved ones. Without making light of their actions that damaged public trust and confidence, surely, they should be afforded the opportunity to redeem themselves instead of being hounded after and to make a career elsewhere. This would also be in accord with our being a society that advocates second chances.Meanwhile, former Speaker of Parliament Tan Chuan Jin has remade himself as an “entrepreneur, adviser, speaker and facilitator” and is on the faculty of NUS medical school’s Centre for Infectious Disease Emergency Response. Former Senior Minister of State Faishal Ibrahim was recently reported seeking a return to academia.

=====

Political culture

How easily former politicians can return to professional life, family and private citizenship also depends on our political culture, which must strive to be a principled one, even in a more competitive political landscape.Political disagreements, even contested ones that we may have with ex-politicians when they were serving, should not be ported over to civilian life.If Singapore needs good people in politics, we as an electorate should strive to create a gentler political culture that assures them of a relatively smooth return to civilian life at the end of their political lives.This recognises that we can disagree agreeably in our political worldview, that we wear different hats at different times, and that one’s political views and actions should not determine one’s life after politics.Former politicians remain recognisable figures in Singapore and continuing public curiosity and media attention can make a completely anonymous normal life harder (unless they opt to be publicly visible in civilian life).The Singapore electorate can be very demanding of our politicians, often expecting them to sacrifice themselves to a certain ultimate degree. In return, it behoves us to seriously treat dignified transitions from political life to private citizen as essential to our public life standards, instead of treating their lives after politics as fair game for spectator sport.Our shared civic ethos can and must collectively ensure that there is life after politics. Our political culture must be receptive to and nurturing of that.

欧洲边缘化与中国超越的底层逻辑*

欧洲人曾傲慢地以为，他们交出的是低端、污染的夕阳产业，换回的是高额的资本红利和永久的文明特权。然而，他们错了。中国没有重蹈苏联的覆辙，它用无声的工业效率，击碎了欧洲由空洞辞令构筑的优越感。

=====

        当21世纪的国际政治舞台聚焦于中美双雄并立的“G2”格局时，曾经开启现代文明、统治世界数百年的欧洲，正无奈地滑向历史的边缘。

　　这场变局常被西方地缘学者称为“历史的意外”，但从人类文明演进的深层逻辑看，这并非偶然，而是一场长达数十年的结构性移位。欧洲的边缘化，在很大程度上始于他们对东方大国根深蒂固的盲目傲慢与战略轻忽，而中国对欧洲的超越，则在于精准地利用了这份傲慢，汲取了苏联因过度沉迷意识形态对抗而崩溃的惨痛教训，在西方的规则之内，完成了自身的文明跨越。

　　欧洲对中国崛起的误判，首先是一场认知范式的彻底崩溃。自启蒙运动和工业革命以来，数百年的地缘特权让欧洲精英阶层患上深重的“文明自恋症”。他们一度陷入“历史终结论”的教条幻觉，傲慢地认为西方的自由市场与议会民主是人类现代化的唯一终点。在他们的潜意识与意识形态有色眼镜下，一个没有全盘西化的东方大国，绝不可能掌握现代工业文明的最高密码。

　　这种心态让欧洲人在面对中国崛起时，产生一种致命的轻视。他们将中国的增长简单归结为“依靠低端廉价劳动力”“破坏环境为代价”和“粗暴模仿”，却完全忽略了中国延续数千年的政治大一统智慧，以及高效的资源调配能力。他们以为中国永远只能做全球产业链底层的打工者，却没料到这个打工者早已在既有规则之内，悄然完成对新世纪工业结构的重新布局。

　　在这一进程中，中国展现出高超的战略定力，而这恰恰来自对冷战历史的深刻洞察。苏联阵营的覆灭，核心原因在于过度强调意识形态的绝对对立，将国家生存的重心，误置于空洞的宏大叙事与无休止的阵营对抗中，最终导致经济体制僵化、社会严重失血，直至垮台。

　　中国敏锐汲取了这一惨痛教训，在崛起过程中，采取极其务实的去意识形态化策略。中国清醒地意识到，与欧洲进行价值观的口舌之争毫无意义，只会重蹈苏联空耗国力的覆辙。因此，中国以极大的克制，主动避免与欧洲展开正面的意识形态竞争，转而将所有国家意志和资源，牢牢锚定在生产力发展、技术积累与工业升级上。这种务实哲学精准地迎合了西方的重商主义，也让在意识形态上极度敏感的欧洲卸下防备，放心地向中国敞开大门。

　　正是源于对自身制度的盲目自大，以及对中国“去意识形态化”策略的误读，冷战后的欧洲在长期的安逸中，亲手构建了一个极度脆弱的寄生结构：安全依赖美国、能源依赖俄罗斯、市场与工业外包依赖中国。傲慢的欧洲人认为自己可以躺在先辈积攒的财富与秩序上享受太平，高税收、高福利的制度在无形中消解了社会的奋斗进取精神。

欧洲完美错过互联网到人工智能时代

　　更致命的是，因自我革命动力的缺失，欧洲完美错过了整个互联网、大数据和人工智能时代。面对技术产业的整体掉队，欧洲人再次展现高傲的旧习——他们没有选择在硬核科技战场上迎头赶上，而是热衷于用全球最严厉的法律规制去惩罚美国和中国的科技巨头。这种用“立规矩”的道德虚荣来掩盖自身沦为科技殖民地的做法，加速了欧洲工业核心竞争力的流失。

　　当欧洲的精英和资本集团在自大中，放任产业空心化，为了短期的高额利润，将制造业疯狂外包时，中国用世界上规模最大、纪律严明且受过基础教育的劳动力大军，以及跨越地域的产业集群，精准对冲了欧洲因政治内耗和去工业化带来的社会治理成本。

　　当欧洲的议员们还在为了一条微小的法案进行旷日持久的党派争论时，中国的工业园区已经完成数次产业升级与技术沉淀。最终给欧洲带来深远打击的，是中国将欧洲各国的零散优势，凝聚成庞大的单一实体。

　　散装的欧洲在危机面前，无法形成真正的国家合力，而中国凭借一国之力，打造了人类历史上唯一拥有联合国产业分类中全部工业门类的全产业链大国。当欧洲的汽车、电子企业因为地缘冲突或跨海运输，连一块电池、一块屏幕都无法自主时，中国已经在长三角、珠三角实现了“四小时供应链闭环”。这种无与伦比的工业组织效率，在效率对决的起点，就注定了欧洲被边缘化的结局。

　　欧洲人曾傲慢地以为，他们交出的是低端、污染的夕阳产业，换回的是高额的资本红利和永久的文明特权。然而，他们错了。当中国把全产业链构建完成，并以此为跳板攻入欧洲人引以为傲的汽车、新能源和大飞机等工业禁区时，欧洲人才猛然发现，曾经的傲慢让他们亲手递上移交历史主导权的密码。中国没有重蹈苏联的覆辙，它用无声的工业效率，击碎了欧洲由空洞辞令构筑的优越感。

　　这正是历史最残酷的讽刺所在：欧洲用几百年时间定义了现代世界的法律、规则与话语体系，如今却不得不面对一个产业主导权与生产中心彻底转移的严峻现实。它空有人文与理性的高傲骨架，却在失去了硬核科技、能源自主与产业链之后，被自己亲手开启的全球化浪潮推向了边缘。

　　欧洲的失落不是历史的意外，而是自大者的宿命。这场跨越世纪的效率对决已现端倪，它不仅标志着西方中心主义时代的渐行渐远，更宣告了一个融合东方实用主义智慧与现代工业结构的全新文明形态，正在太平洋的浪潮中悄然诞生。

​看到这几个数字，心里默默算了一下。第一名接近四亿用户，第二和第三也都过亿。即使是第五名，也将近三千万。这些数字放在几年前，也许还是少数人的尝鲜，如今却已经渗透进许多人的日常。

​这些名字也很有意思。豆包、千问、DeepSeek、元宝、阿福——它们听起来不像冰冷的工具，更像是某个可以随时说话的人。它们的名字里没有“智能”“大脑”“未来”这类宏大的词，反而更像是邻居家的孩子，或者路边小店的伙计。

​你打开它的时候，不需要准备好问题，也不需要知道什么专业术语，就像给朋友发一条消息那样，打开，输入，等待回应。正因为它不需要门槛，才会被那么多人接受。那些不会用搜索引擎的人，也能在对话框里打出一句完整的问句，然后得到一段还算顺畅的回答。

​这些数字放在一起，像是一幅逐渐展开的地图，标记着人们如何使用工具来拓展自己的边界。它正在成为许多人生活中不可缺少的助手，帮助那些曾经需要特定技能才能完成的任务，变得更加触手可及。那些曾经需要专业背景才能完成的事情，正在变得更加平易近人。

​而那些一开始只是尝试的人，也在使用的过程中，慢慢习惯了这种获取信息的方式，就像当初习惯于用搜索引擎查找资料、用导航软件规划路线一样，它们正在成为日常生活的一部分。

​它不会取代那些需要长期积累的专业能力，但它能帮助普通人在需要的时候，更快地接触到那些需要长期学习才能掌握的知识。

​这些以“亿”为单位计量的数字，也代表着一次时间分配方式的转向——越来越多的人正在把一部分日常的注意力，转向与AI的对话。而那些能够在短时间内汇集如此庞大用户群体的平台，多半也是那些降低了使用门槛、让普通人也能轻松使用的平台。

​这也许才是这些数字背后的真实含义：一种新工具正在逐渐融入日常生活，就像多年前搜索引擎和社交软件的普及过程一样，正在悄悄地改变着许多人获取信息和处理事情的方式。

​那些被打开的对话框，正在成为许多人通往新领域的第一道门，让那些原本需要特定门槛才能进入的领域，变得对更多人可见、可感、可用。

A Samsui Story

A Samsui Story 

Touched by this Samsui story i found from NLB and thought i share it - It is about Madam Wong Ah Woon who was 86 years when 2 students from Nanyang Girls' High School interviewed her in 2013.

=====

I am Wong Ah Woon. I came to Singapore when I was 21 years old. I was born in 1927, in San Shui, Foshan, Guangdong, China. I spend most of my childhood in China, and only after World War II, I left China for Hong Kong, and subsequently, I came to Singapore where I got married and settled down.

I witnessed the racial riots during 1964 - I was hiding at home when the Malays and the Chinese clashed. I never really had any education, so I cannot read, write, or speak in Mandarin. I can only converse in Cantonese. When I was 21, I got married to my husband here in Singapore. A relative introduced us to each other. We had three children, but two of them passed away, my only remaining son is currently in his sixties. 

I remember that in the past, my mother-in-law could not help to take care of my children for me, so I had to stop working for a while to care for them. My husband also passed away more than a decade ago, so now I live alone in my flat in Geylang Bahru, opposite my son. 

In the past, we lived in the New World Area where I found work as a Samsui woman. I started working as a Samsui woman when I was 25, and I only retired when I was 69. This was my one and only occupation for my entire life. My pay, back then, was about $4.50 a day. It was quite manageable, considering the fact that a bowl of porridge was only 5 cents then! I worked from 8 am to 5 pm, but I had to leave my house an hour earlier to board a lorry that would take us (Samsui women) to the construction site.

After work, I would take a public bus home. Every morning, before work, I have to put on my red Samsui headdress. I had to starch the red cloth so as to make the red cloth firm enough to stay on my head. The headdress is about 1 yard x 1 yard large and is rather thick. The headdress is to protect us Samsui women from the sun and the dirt. I can still remember how to tie the headdress and I can still do it within 5 minutes! I wore a dark blue or black traditional samfu outfit has both long sleeves and leggings, but I hardly actually felt the heat from wearing so much! We also white canvas shoes (much like those worn by school children) to go to work, and wore high socks so as to protect my legs from the sand and dirt. 

As a Samsui woman, I had to carry sand to make cement. Originally, I remember, we would use a shoulder pole with two baskets attached to move the sand; afterwards, we used carts, which were much more efficient. 

I remember that when I was working as a Samsui woman, the foreman would always warn us against eating kangkong because it was believed to weaken our legs. Samsui women with illnesses were also banned from eating peanuts! I also remember another incident where I argued with a hawker for not adding spring onions into the bowl of porridge I ordered! 

When I was still working, I celebrated festivals in a very simple manner. We were not very rich, so we remained frugal, even during the festivities. I recall staying up overnight to make fried Chinese cakes out of flour and peanuts for Chinese New Year. I had to stay up overnight to make these cakes because I still have to work during the day. 

I remained working until I was 69 years old. I quit my job because the boss could no longer afford to pay my salary. I got fed up with him and “fired” him! 

Currently, living in Geylang Bahru, I hardly actually go to the senior activity centre and only occasionally when I pass by to go grocery shopping, I would pop in to have a little chat with the other seniors.
