11月5日，今日头条的头条精选榜单入选深度报道，介绍了37岁的加沙护士阿什拉夫的苦难生活。 他已搬家六次，拉法的住宅早已被摧毁，现在只能住帐篷。停火后加沙的生活也未回归正常，轰炸依然 继续，以军还开枪杀害至少数十名平民，理由包括他们涉嫌越过以军控制区的"黄线"，但大多数平民并 不清楚"黄线"在哪。 死亡无处不在。2024年，弟弟被炸死在拉法街头，今年5月，他所在的加沙欧洲医院被轰炸，28人死 亡。他本人也在"自行分发点"和儿子遭遇以军射击，侥幸活命但也两手空空。 所谓"自行分发点"完全是以色列的"杰作"。5月底，以色列和美国共同支持"加沙人道主义基金 会"（GHF），设立4个新的分发点，取代联合国主导的近400个分发点。允许联合国继续运送物资后， 却不许运往仓库再分配，只准卡车停在以军指定的地点，迫使民众哄抢物资。但曾遭受过枪击的阿什拉 夫更不信任GHF的分发点，直言那是以军的"死亡陷阱"，头一个月里，就有至少410名巴勒斯坦人遭以 军"炮击或枪击"。 如今，阿什拉夫每天循环于医院工作、照顾家人与寻找物资间。他家甚至有过一天每人只吃一块饼的情 况。八岁的小女儿曾把自己的饼藏起来，想等到睡前再吃，这样就不会被饿 ...

(文/解红娟 编辑/张广凯） 碧桂园的境外债务重组跨过最关键的一道坎。 11月6日，碧桂园发布公告，其境外债务重组方案在5日的债权人会议上顺利通过，此次纳入境外重组范 围的债务规模合计约177亿美元，折合人民币约1270亿元（以兑换汇率7.2计）。 在两个债务组别的投票中，均获得出席并投票的债权人中超过75%债权金额的赞成票。其中，组别一 （银团贷款组别）赞成票对应债权金额占组别一出席并投票债权金额的83.71%，组别二（美元债及其 他债权）赞成票对应债权金额占组别二出席并投票债权金额的96.03%。 通常情况下，在法院裁决债务重组案时，只需参与投票债权人的75%投出赞成票，即视为通过。例如， 10 月 14 日，融创境外债重组方案获 94.5% 债权金额支持，11 月 5 日香港高等法院经聆讯审查并正式 签发批准令。 但为了获得83.71%、96.03%的高支持率，给12月4日的法院裁定聆讯上一个保险，碧桂园展现出极大的 诚意。 重组方案提供了房企境外重组案例中罕见的现金资源，以及提供了股权工具选项，债权人可通过股权工 具分享碧桂园未来潜在上行收益并通过二级市场退出。在此基础之上，碧桂园推出"现金回购+股权 ...

这些视频账号分别属于"Al-Haq"、"Al Mezan人权中心"和"巴勒斯坦人权中心"等巴勒斯坦人权组织。今 年9月，美国政府以这些组织"与国际刑事法院合作调查以色列官员"为由，对其实施制裁。 据介绍，巴勒斯坦人权组织曾通过YouTube频道发布数小时的影像资料，记录了以色列政府在加沙地带 和约旦河西岸涉嫌违反国际法的行为，包括杀害巴勒斯坦平民的事件。 YouTube母公司谷歌向该媒体证实，在经过审查后，其根据美国国务院针对相关组织的制裁，直接删除 了相应账号。YouTube发言人宣称，"YouTube致力于遵守适用的制裁与贸易合规法律。" "我相当震惊，YouTube居然表现得如此缺乏骨气。"阿拉伯世界民主促进组织DAWN的执行主任萨拉·利 娅·惠特森表示，"很难想象会有任何严肃的理由认为，分享这些巴勒斯坦人权组织的信息会违反制裁。 屈服于这种武断的认定去审查他们，既令人失望，也相当令人惊讶。" 当地时间4日，美国独立调查网站"拦截"报道称，今年10月，YouTube网站秘密删除了多个巴勒斯坦人 权组织的账号，以及这些账号发布的700多条有关巴勒斯坦人权惨状的视频，以配合美国政府对"追究以 色列战争罪行" ...

被称为欧洲最大"中国研究中心"的柏林墨卡托研究中心（Mercator），其高级分析师安东妮娅·哈迈迪 （Antonia Hmaidi）表示，安世半导体如果要实现产能转移、在中国以外地区完成生产，整个过程至少 需要4至6月，且这一产能完全无法填补中国东莞工厂的供给缺口。此外，这些芯片还需经过严格测试与 认证，才能正式用于汽车生产。 随后哈迈迪倒打一耙，称近年来分析师已多次警告，即便会增加运营成本，将生产转移至中国的企业也 应制定备用方案，通过强化供应链、实现供应链多元化以应对突发状况。她声称："这应当是最新敲响 的警钟，让所有人看清中国为保护本国企业愿意采取的行动力度。" 这一言论未免太过双标，既然都承认中方此举是"保护本国企业"，为何反倒独独苛责身为受害一方的中 国，却对挑起事端、强占中资企业的始作俑者荷兰扮演视而不见？这般强盗逻辑何其荒谬！ 【文/观察者网 阮佳琪】 尽管荷兰方面矢口否认，但外界普遍认为，其强占中资企业安世半导体的恶劣行径，本质是狐假虎威、 奉美国"旨意"而为。梅赛德斯-奔驰的首席执行官康松林（Ola Källenius）上周就在电话会议中直 言，"现在是一个由政治因素引发的局面。" 可当荷 ...

Group 1: Strategic Partnership - The partnership involves Boyu holding up to 60% of the joint venture, while Starbucks retains 40% and continues to own the brand and intellectual property [1]. - This move is interpreted as a "defensive collaboration," aimed at addressing the challenges Starbucks faces in the increasingly competitive Chinese coffee market [2][4]. - The collaboration is viewed as a necessary step for Starbucks to leverage local resources and overcome growth bottlenecks, especially as it aims to expand to 20,000 stores in China [2][8]. Group 2: Market Dynamics - The Chinese coffee market has entered a "local brand era," with Starbucks facing multiple challenges such as product innovation stagnation and digitalization lag [2][12]. - The partnership with Boyu is seen as a way for Starbucks to adapt to the local market and enhance its competitive edge against domestic brands like Luckin Coffee, which have been more innovative in product offerings [12][13]. - The transaction is also viewed as a means for Starbucks to secure its past investments in China amid a backdrop of geopolitical tensions and market uncertainties [5][6]. Group 3: Operational Insights - Starbucks' previous operational model relied heavily on a direct ownership approach, but the current market saturation necessitates a shift towards a more localized and flexible operational strategy [8][9]. - The potential for a "betting agreement" tied to future performance metrics, such as the ambitious store expansion goal, is considered likely, indicating a strategic commitment to growth [10][11]. - The internal challenges faced by Starbucks, including a rigid corporate structure and a lack of competitive pressure, have hindered its ability to innovate and respond swiftly to market demands [13][14].
