Year-End Performance Pressure - As the year-end approaches, banks are also focused on completing their annual performance targets, which adds to the stress of employees [13]. - Employees report difficulties in retaining existing clients and acquiring new ones, with some clients moving their funds to foreign banks for better returns [13][14]. Recommendations for Improvement - Experts suggest that banks need to shift their focus from short-term performance metrics to long-term client relationship quality, incorporating customer needs analysis into their service processes [14]. - There is a call for banks to optimize resource allocation and provide ongoing training to support employees in building sustainable client relationships rather than merely chasing short-term targets [14].

因为这家智库2023年、2024年、2025年连续三年发布了关于台海冲突的兵棋推演，其中2024年 推演的是核武器（核威慑），2025年推演的是围困。 结合其他美国智库的表现，笔者大致点评如下： 第一，面对台湾（问题），美国智库的学者普遍有一种圣母和救世主心态。 美国智库先是开出了武力介入和经济制裁两剂猛药，随着中国 实力的增长，相对温柔的外交斡旋"药方"也出现了。归根到 底，解决台湾问题，中国有自己的策略和节奏，来自美国的干 预，不会实质影响两岸的统一进程。美国智库的推演，不过是 隔靴搔痒而已。 作者：王义伟 封图：视觉中国 对于多家美国智库近些年陆续发布的针对台海局势的兵棋推演（wargame），笔者一直兴趣不 大。原因在于这些智库里那些在其母国土生土长的所谓中国问题专家，对于现代中国的政治、经 济、军事以及中国历史、国共历史、台湾问题由来等基础性知识的储备太薄弱了。基础不牢，发布 的报告就漏洞百出。 之所以还想谈谈这个话题，是因为这几天日本和台湾媒体在炒一盘冷饭。 这盘冷饭就是美国智库战略与国际研究中心（CSIS，下称"战国中心"）于2023年1月发布的一份 报告，题目是"下一场战争的第一场战役：中国入 ...
