从徐州看中国农村剩男困境 Chained Mother: Gender Imbalance in China

进退两难，特朗普会‘TACO’（Trump Always Chicken Out）吗？

盟友纷纷“作壁上观”，美国老大地位摇摇欲坠

权衡美伊冲突对华利弊

美国和以色列联手攻打伊朗已经超过两个星期。伊朗封锁了全球能源大动脉霍尔木兹海峡，造成全球能源供应高度紧张。

美国总统特朗普过去几天要求盟友及世界其他国家，共同为油轮护航以平安渡过霍尔木兹海峡，但被点名的国家反应普遍冷淡。特朗普甚至在记者会上抱怨这些盟友“忘恩负义”。

如今战局僵持不下，骑虎难下的特朗普还有什么选择？这场战争会以什么方式结束？美国盟友纷纷作壁上观，又说明了什么？

这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红与香港城市大学法学院教授、中国法与比较法研究中心主任王江雨详细解析。

The Middle East is in turmoil as the joint United States–Israel military operation against Iran enters its third week, triggering Iran’s effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital artery for global oil and gas trade and a major source of market jitters over energy supply and prices. 

In response, US President Donald Trump has repeatedly urged allies to join a multinational naval coalition to escort tankers through the strait, but many longstanding partners have been cool or outright resistant, prompting him to publicly accuse them of disloyalty and ingratitude. 

With the conflict at an uneasy stalemate and Iran still seeking to restrict maritime traffic, key questions loom: what strategic options remain for Trump, how this war could end, and what the reluctance of America’s traditional allies to get involved might mean for future international alignments.

特朗普骑虎难下 打伊朗如何收场？Hormuz under siege: Trump's dilemma

官方对经济放缓，容忍度更高？

相较于政策，人事更引人关心

记者在两会的现场观察

2026年中国全国两会如期在上星期开幕。中国总理李强3月5日在政府工作报告中宣布，今年的经济增长目标定为4.5%至5%。这是中国30多年来首次将增长目标下调至5%以下，显示中国经济增长压力不小。

不过，增长目标并未引发最广泛关注，两会上更引人瞩目的是人事变动。例如，人大主席团和秘书长名单较往年减少了13人，其中包括多名已被罢免或受查的地方首长、解放军高级将领，甚至国家级领导人，如张又侠、何卫东、马兴瑞等。出席两会的上将仅剩六人，其中两人还是去年12月才晋升的。

谁来谁不来？两会已成为观察中国高层人事变动的窗口。今年的两会在人事上有何具体看点？这个世界第二大经济体又对外展示了什么样的政策走向？

这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，《联合早报》中国新闻组主任兼北京特派员杨丹旭与主持人韩咏红，共同梳理今年中国两会的关键亮点，并剖析世界第二大经济体所展示的政策走向。

杨丹旭：反腐高压下两会拉开序幕
韩咏红：中国经济增长进入“4”时代

China’s 2026 “Two Sessions” – the country’s most important annual political meetings – have opened with a blend of continuity and unease. Premier Li Qiang’s government work report set this year’s GDP growth target at 4.5 to 5 per cent, underscoring Beijing’s focus on more sustainable “high-quality” development amid weak property markets, local debt risks and the challenge of reviving domestic demand while advancing advanced manufacturing and green industries.

The political choreography is drawing almost as much scrutiny as the policy agenda, with notable absences from the National People’s Congress leadership ranks, including senior military figures and state-level officials who have been removed or slipped from public view, feeding perceptions of intensified internal discipline in the military and strategic sectors under Xi Jinping’s consolidated leadership. 

On the policy front, the meetings signal higher spending on defence and on science and technology, particularly semiconductors and artificial intelligence, as Beijing doubles down on security and self-reliance amid strained ties with the United States and its allies.

In this episode of Global Heartbeat, host Han Yonghong speaks with Yang Danxu, Lianhe Zaobao’s China News Editor and Beijing correspondent, for on-the-ground insights into the 2026 Two Sessions and what they mean for the world’s second-largest economy.

2026年两会：中国高层人事大洗牌的一扇窗 China's 2026 Two Sessions: Economic shifts and political purges

哈梅内伊被击杀代表什么？

评价哈梅内伊37年的政绩

伊朗人真的希望变天吗？

在延宕多时的弃核谈判失败后，美国和以色列上个星期六启动了对伊朗的军事攻击。在行动的第一天，美以联军空袭击中伊朗最高领袖哈梅内伊所在地，哈梅内伊与多名伊朗高级官员遇袭身亡。

伊朗随即展开全面反击，发射导弹空袭海湾地区设有美军基地的国家，包括卡塔尔、巴林、科威特、约旦、阿联酋和沙特阿拉伯，并封锁了全球能源运输大动脉霍尔木兹海峡。

这场战争目前仍在激烈进行。美国总统特朗普表示，行动最初预计持续四至五周，但美军有能力维持更久，“更大规模的行动还在后头”。特朗普宣称，行动目标是摧毁伊朗的导弹能力、海军力量，确保伊朗永远无法获得核武器，且无法继续在境外武装资助并指挥恐怖组织。

这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红与台湾中兴大学外交系、中东与中亚硕士学位学程副教授崔进揆解析美国是否会在中东陷入一场持久战？这场战争会否改写中东地缘政治格局？

马海云：百年大变局背景下的美以伊朗战争
学者：伊朗政权未彻底垮台 美伊料持久战

This week, the Middle East is engulfed in a rapidly escalating war following the breakdown of long-stalled nuclear talks with Iran and the launch of a joint US–Israeli military operation against Iranian targets. On Saturday, the United States and Israel struck key military and nuclear-related sites across Iran in the opening phase of the campaign.

Tehran has responded with a sweeping counterattack, firing missiles and drones at Israel and at US military bases in several Gulf countries, including Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia. Iran has also severely disrupted shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global energy supplies, jolting oil prices and unnerving financial markets worldwide.

The fighting is intensifying by the day, with no clear end in sight. US President Trump has warned that the initial phase of operations could last four to five weeks, while insisting that American forces are prepared for a longer campaign and a possible escalation. His stated goals are sweeping: to degrade Iran’s missile arsenal and navy, to permanently block Tehran’s path to a nuclear weapon, and to curb its ability to arm, fund, and direct militant and terrorist groups abroad.

All of this raises urgent questions for the region and the world: Will the United States be drawn into another long and open-ended war in the Middle East? And how might this conflict redraw the geopolitical map of the region for years to come?

In this episode of the Global Heartbeat podcast, host Han Yong Hong speaks with Chin-Kuei Tsui, Associate Professor at the Graduate Institute of International Politics and Director of the Centre for Studies on South Asia and the Middle East at National Chung Hsing University in Taiwan, to unpack the stakes, scenarios, and possible endgames of this fast-moving crisis.
