17.02.2025 ⇢ Tech Titans Through Mirror of Debt
⌨Early morning coverage focused on China's mounting personal debt crisis, while state media amplified Xi's African Union message. By dawn, attention shifted dramatically to Xi's first private enterprise symposium in six years, featuring the return of previously sidelined tech leaders including Jack Ma, Ren Zhengfei, and Pony Ma. This marked a shift from previous days' DeepSeek-centered technological narratives.
The symposium's messaging emphasized "broad prospects" for private sector development, connecting to previous days' economic data and AI governance themes. Goldman Sachs released analysis linking DeepSeek to economic growth predictions, while financial media began reassessing Chinese tech stock valuations.
Evening coverage revealed increased US-China resource competition, particularly in minerals, while diplomatic tensions surfaced through US State Department's removal of "not supporting Taiwan independence" language from official documents.

有网友批评哪吒2在叙事精彩之余依旧落入了“神仙打架、百姓遭殃”的俗套，电影中陈塘关被屠城太惨烈，主角哪吒也并没有拯救一切，最终这种百姓全灭的残酷结局居然被一笔带过，完全成为了调动观众情绪的一种情节安排。也难怪有观众在观后感中写道“看前我以为自己是哪吒，看中我代入申公豹，散场时才发现，我只是那群可怜的土拨鼠，或者陈塘关的黎民百姓”。
