Minority government of Japan PM faces tough test in upper house election; AP explains

Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba's goal is a simple majority. Half of the 248 seats for six-year terms in the upper house are being decided, and the LDP and its junior coalition partner Komeito would need to win 50 combined. That's on top of their 75 seats that are not being contested in this election. That would be a retreat from their current number of 141 seats, but Ishiba has told reporters his goal is one that must be achieved.

馬斯克組黨與特朗普反面 Tesla市值一夜蒸發XXXX億元

美國電動車巨企特斯拉(Tesla)行政總裁馬斯克,與總統特朗普反面升級,並在上周六在社交平台X宣布組織新政黨「美國黨」,挑戰美國兩黨的政治體制。消息令到Tesla股價在周一開市後急挫,全日跌6.8%或21.41美元,報293.94美元,市值蒸發約690億美元(約5,416億港元)。 韋德布什證券公司知名特斯拉分析師Daniel Ives表示強烈擔憂。他指出,馬斯克選擇在「特斯拉的關鍵時期」(crucial period for the Tesla story)高調進軍政壇,這一舉動「完全背離了特斯拉投資者和股東的期望」(exactly the opposite direction that Tesla investors/shareholders want him to take)。 Daniel Ives強調,這已導致投資者群體出現明顯的「疲憊感」(a sense of exhaustion),擔心馬斯克的政治活動將分散其對核心業務的專注力。 特斯拉第二季交付38.4萬輛,同比跌14%,低於市場預期,連續兩季下降,與馬斯克5月中聲稱的業務復甦預測不符。股價年內累跌27%,分析指,Tesla之前被抵制潮與馬斯克政治分心或為因素。 原文刊登於 AM730 Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data

Zhao Yongqing, Chairman of the CPPCC Guizhou Provincial Committee; Ma Hancheng, Deputy Secretary of the Guizhou Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China; and other provincial leaders attended the event. In his keynote speech, Ding Zhongli stated that, guided by Xi Jinping's Thought on Ecological Civilization, China is firmly committed to a path of civilized development characterized by economic growth, improved livelihoods, and a sound ecological environment. The country has strengthened environmental protection in a comprehensive, all-region, and whole-process manner, advancing ecological civilization to a new level and contributing both wisdom and strength to global sustainable development and the building of a prosperous, clean, and beautiful world. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the concept "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" and the 10th anniversary of the United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Dedicated to pooling global wisdom and contributing to the development of ecological civilization, Eco Forum Global Guiyang 2025, under the theme "Harmonious Coexistence Between Humans and Nature - Global Collaborative Development for Green Transformation," holds great significance. China is ready to work hand in hand with the international community to firmly uphold the concept of ecological civilization, improve environmental governance systems, promote green and low-carbon development, and deepen international exchanges and cooperation to jointly tackle global ecological challenges and advance the global cause of ecological civilization. István Jakab stated that the Sustainable Development Goals encompass all aspects of ecological, economic, and social life, and that every country in the world should work together in solidarity. Hungary places great importance on environmental protection and the transition to a green economy and stands ready to work with all parties to build a more peaceful and mutually respectful future. Maurea Toirena remarked that in the face of shared ecological challenges, nations must deepen cooperation and mutual understanding.

On behalf of the CPC Guizhou Provincial Committee and the People's Government of Guizhou Province, Xu Lin extended a warm welcome and heartfelt thanks to all guests. He noted that President Xi Jinping attaches great importance to the development of ecological civilization in Guizhou, providing consistent strategic guidance and timely, targeted direction. Guizhou, bearing in mind President Xi's expectations, has embraced the concept of ecological civilization to chart a path of high-quality development-bringing greenery to mountains and rivers, empowering industries across sectors, and benefiting countless households. The province is making every effort to achieve the integrated goals of economic prosperity, public well-being, and environmental excellence. The remarkable transformation of Colorful Guizhou is a vivid reflection of the broader changes unfolding in the pursuit of a Beautiful China and stands as a powerful testament to the truth and practical strength of Xi Jinping's Thought on Ecological Civilization. Guizhou will continue to work with all parties to ensure the success of the forum and fully leverage its outcomes, striving to enhance the "green content" of development to boost its "gold content," and to present a new image of a beautiful Guizhou-pristine, low-carbon, and vibrant. Liu Jie stated that Zhejiang is one of the birthplaces of Xi Jinping's Thought on Ecological Civilization. In 2005, during a visit to Yucun Village in Anji, Comrade Xi Jinping first proposed the concept "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets," initiating the province-level practice of Chinese modernization marked by harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature. Over the past 20 years, Zhejiang has pursued a consistent blueprint across successive administrations, advancing green and low-carbon development across all sectors, implementing comprehensive ecological remediation, promoting ecological protection and restoration throughout the region, and strengthening territorial spatial planning in all dimensions. The province has become China's first "eco-province," achieving a remarkable transformation from "Green Zhejiang" to "Ecological Zhejiang," and now to "Beautiful Zhejiang." He extended a warm invitation to all guests to visit Zhejiang and experience firsthand the charm of "Picturesque Jiangnan, Dynamic Zhejiang." Lü Yansong remarked that Xinhua News Agency will continue to deepen its coverage and interpretation of Xi Jinping's Thought on Ecological Civilization, vividly presenting the Guizhou chapter of harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature, and highlighting China's green transformation as both an inspiration and a call to action for the world. Dong Baotong stated that guided by Xi Jinping's Thought on Ecological Civilization, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment will remain committed to its green mission, boldly explore new paths for transformation, strengthen ecological safeguards, and share governance experiences to promote harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature.
