[Former White House Official: US Tariffs Reset to 10%, Southeast Asia Becomes "Temporary Beneficiary"] According to Nikkei Asia, the US Supreme Court ruled that tariffs imposed by Trump under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) were illegal. As a result of this ruling, US tariffs on relevant countries will be reset to a base rate of 10%. Analysts point out that this is a short-term benefit for countries, including Southeast Asian nations, that have large trade surpluses with the US, making them "temporary beneficiaries." Previously, tariffs faced by countries in the region ranged from 40% in Myanmar and Laos to 19% in the Philippines, Malaysia, Cambodia, Indonesia, and Thailand; now these high tariffs will be uniformly reduced to 10%. Jon Lang, senior director of geopolitical risk consultancy APCO and a former White House official, predicts that this low-tariff window may last until a new tariff investigation is completed under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 or Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. During this period, the US is expected to import more goods from these countries.

Watching movies during the Spring Festival holiday has become a new tradition for an increasing number of people in rural areas. As my country's film market continues to develop in depth, the "lower-tier" market has shown considerable consumption potential during the Spring Festival. According to ticketing platform data, third- and fourth-tier cities have been the absolute main contributors to the Spring Festival box office for three consecutive years. Besides traditional reasons such as films being more tailored to regional preferences, the new AI-powered ticketing method has made ticket purchases more convenient this year. Film data analyst Chen Jin stated, "As of now, third- and fourth-tier cities have contributed 53.72% of this year's total Spring Festival box office revenue, a significant increase compared to last year, and also the highest contribution rate ever recorded for the Spring Festival."

[US Proposes 10% Global Tariff, Threatening Thailand's Electronics and Automotive Industries] The Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) recently stated that after the US Supreme Court limited its power to impose "reciprocal tariffs," the Trump administration invoked Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 to propose a 10% "global tariff" on all imported goods. This policy is expected to severely impact Thailand's electronics exports, including hard disk drives, printed circuit boards, and integrated circuits, as Thailand is a major manufacturing base for these products. The automotive and auto parts industry, especially the tire industry, will also face a heavy blow, as the new 10% tariff, combined with existing anti-dumping duties, will significantly increase costs. Furthermore, exports of household appliances such as air conditioners and refrigerators, as well as gemstones and jewelry, will also be significantly affected. However, Thai agricultural products such as rice, durian, and mangosteen, as well as fishery products, will be exempt from the tariff.

[China Achieves First Fully Unmanned Container Ship Operation in Less Than 30 Seconds] On February 21, the "Zhifei," the first intelligent container ship in China to enter commercial operation, precisely berthed at the automated terminal of Qingdao Port in Shandong Province using its unmanned autonomous navigation mode.

Subsequently, the terminal's fully automated loading and unloading equipment operated simultaneously and efficiently. The independently developed Terminal Intelligent Control System (A-TOS) and Equipment Intelligent Control System (A-ECS) worked together, using millisecond-level response speeds to precisely coordinate the automated gantry cranes and automated guided vehicles to complete the container loading and unloading operations.

[Report Shows Tariffs Severely Impact Mid-Sized US Businesses] A report released by JPMorgan Chase Research Institute on February 19th stated that mid-sized US businesses have been severely impacted by tariffs, with their monthly tariff expenses tripling since the beginning of 2025.

In the long run, this situation is unsustainable. A recent study released by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York also shows that approximately 90% of the additional costs incurred by the US government's tariffs in 2025 will be borne by US consumers and businesses, rather than by foreign exporters as the US government has repeatedly claimed, generating huge revenue for the US.

[Trump Hints at No Refund for Illegally Imposed Tariffs] US President Donald Trump announced at a hastily convened White House press conference on February 20th that he would sign an executive order imposing a 10% tariff on global imports to replace the massive tariffs previously imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which the US Supreme Court ruled illegal. When asked by reporters whether the approximately $175 billion in tariff revenue collected would be refunded, Trump stated that the Supreme Court's ruling was flawed, failing to address whether to "retain the money" or "not retain the money"—he guessed that "this will be a legal battle for the next two, or even five years."
