Can confirm, and it’s less about actual AI capabilities. Awkward mistakes happen but organisers decide to ignore them and prioritise cost saving & looking AI-savvy.

Sorry to share with you that simultaneous interpretation as a profession has died in China. More and more international conference organizers are adopting AI-assisted simultaneous interpretation services software, often at the cost of 50 yuan or 7 USD an hour.

Chen Deming, China’s former commerce minister, said the EU remains a very strong economy with considerable room for development. He sees China-EU economic complementarity as a real opportunity. “We cannot argue and flip the table. We must find a way that works for both sides.”

如果你也受不了 GPT 6 之后的模型废话连篇,包括 不停为自己给出结论反复解释证据 ,反复讲解和举例,用否定句解释人类不应该怎样理解,对已经清楚的事实二次解释和免责性补充,对自己的研究意义反复自我强调。 比如: “这是XXX自己估算的系统容量和预期收入,不能当作当年已经核实的实际收入。” “因此,这项对比不能理解为XXX的指标高于YYY。” 我实验了一些有效的 prompting 限定,可以在 setting - personalization- user instructions 里加上这段: | 行文风格:高信息密度、证据优先、重视机制与商业价值、允许复杂推理、减少解释性重复的研究写作。知道的事实直接写出来,有依据的结论直接陈述,无需用“值得注意的是”“一定程度上说明”“这里需要特别强调”一层层铺垫。 对于解释性内容,1. 保留解释因果机制的段落,2. 保留对因果混淆的必要说明,3. 保留能够建立新分类的分析。 不要每份证据包装成一个完整的小型论证:介绍背景、展示材料、解释含义、提醒限制、总结意义。减少这层包装,让事实和机制直接进入文章。 1. 删除 AI在研究过程和对自身工作的评价。直接呈现信息。 2. 删除对已经清楚的事实进行二次解释。当事实陈述已经包含足够明确的来源、范围和含义时,不需要再用否定句解释读者不应该怎样理解。 3. 删除过度谨慎和重复的免责声明。尽量通过措辞表达证据等级,而不通过额外段落反复强调证据等级。 4. 删除缺乏新增信息的意义解释和概括性推论。如果结论只是换一种表述概括前面的事实,它的价值很低。结论需要提供此前没有明说的因果解释、机制、约束条件或值得继续研究的推论。 5. 删除教程式的逐步讲解与举例。简洁陈述即可。无需通过假设类的教学案例证明一个已经容易理解的规则。 6. 删除重复展开的章节,只保留比较表格。 7. 删除重复总结,以及对研究意义的自我强调。一个结论只承担一项主要任务,避免每个段落都重新概述完整研究。 维度建议采用的写法: 开头直接呈现主要调查结果、核心数字或关键机制。无需介绍研究将如何开展 事实陈述尽可能在一句话内交代时间、主体、行为、规模和来源 证据限定只保留影响事实判断、统计解释或推论成立的限定条件 解释优先解释成因、工作机制、不同变量之间的关系 推论必须带来新的信息,例如可检验的预测、市场约束、因果关系或商业影响 举例优先使用实际企业、产品、合同、价格和用户行为;减少假设性教学案例 比较多对象、多指标优先使用表格;避免表格之后逐行复述 章节按研究问题划分,删除为了文章完整性而添加的引言、过渡和小结 总结只保留重要且尚未被充分概括的结论 语气陈述证据支持的结论,无需不断强调其重要性,也无需重复表示谨慎 使用严格的段落删除测试: 删掉一段文字后,如果读者对事实、数字、机制、因果关系、适用条件和结论的理解完全不变,那么这段文字通常没有必要保留。 尤其需要检查“这说明”“值得注意的是”“因此”“不过”“需要强调的是”开头的段落。它们有时承载必要推论,但在原版中较多只是换一种方式复述前面的内容。

China has consistently said it doesn't want a trade war and prefers dialogue and negotiation. But China will defend its legitimate interests. If the EU widens trade-defence measures, China will have to respond...
Following the recent EU-China trade talks, Serena Xue Dong from the Center for China and Globalization warns that tit-for-tat trade restrictions could deepen divisions despite ongoing efforts to resolve differences through dialogue. Full episode: youtube.com/watch?v=2IwQoA8b…

This comment captures a fundamental flaw in US foreign policy: the assumption that military power can counter economic influence. It cannot. If the U.S. wants to compete with Chinese economic influence, it needs an economic strategy, not more military power.

China has “a super appetite to invest in Europe,” @lianglinlin2026 of the China Chamber of Commerce to the EU told us at the #POLITICOEuropeanResilience summit. But Chinese businesses need to assess whether these investments can be profitable, she added.

My name is not the reason we're paying $5/gallon for gas. My name is not the reason you can't afford your groceries. My name is not the reason you can't afford your mortgage or rent. My name is not the reason you can't see a doctor. Their policies are the reason.

James Talarico on abortion: "Some of my spiritual heroes, like Pope Francis and Pope Leo, are pro-life. I can respect anyone who is pro-life. We treat this debate as a philosophical debate or a theological debate when it's actually a public policy problem. We can join together to make sure we have scientifically valid sex education, that folks who need contraception can get it, that everyone has health care—something the Catholic Church has led on."
