This greatly weakens their negotiating position and leverage with Russia. This is not Trump's war (if I were president, this war would never happen!), but Biden and Zelensky's war. My sole purpose is to help end this war and save tens of thousands of Russian and Ukrainian lives. If NATO does what I say, this war will end quickly, and all these lives will be saved!

In fact, German automakers have also actively implemented localization strategies (such as launching long-wheelbase models) when entering the Chinese market. This respect for market differences is worth learning from for our companies going global."

Tesla recently submitted a highly controversial CEO compensation proposal to its shareholders' meeting. The proposal would grant Musk up to 423.7 million shares of stock, contingent on the company achieving a series of challenging performance targets. This ten-year "bet" is considered the largest executive compensation package in US corporate history. According to the proposal, Musk's stock incentives will be unlocked in 12 phases, each requiring the simultaneous achievement of market capitalization, operating, and profit targets. The market capitalization threshold will start at $1.1 trillion, with the initial requirement reaching $2 trillion, followed by $500 billion increments each phase, ultimately aiming for $8.5 trillion—nearly eight times Tesla's current market capitalization and equivalent to creating two Nvidias. The agreement mandates a full shift in Tesla's business towards robotaxis, fully autonomous driving (FSD), and humanoid robots, marking the company's strategic transformation from a traditional automaker to a technology platform. Analysts believe the proposal will deeply bind Musk to Tesla for the next decade, but it has also sparked widespread market controversy due to its ambitious targets.

[Restaurants Need to Clearly Disclose Pre-Prepared Meals: Draft National Standard Passes Review and Will Soon Be Open for Public Comment] The draft "National Food Safety Standard for Pre-Prepared Meals," spearheaded by the National Health Commission, has passed review and will soon be open for public comment. This will unify the "identity" of pre-prepared meals, and for the first time, mandatory disclosure will be required regarding whether and how restaurants use them. "The standard primarily provides definitions and food safety indicators," according to an expert involved in the drafting. The draft standardizes the classification, ingredients, processing techniques, storage, transportation, and inspection methods of pre-prepared meals, and for the first time, introduces mandatory indicators such as "no added preservatives." Compared to the 141 existing group and local standards, the national standard's provisions focus more on the "safety bottom line," providing a direct basis for regulatory enforcement. Industry insiders estimate that pre-prepared meals are expected to strengthen requirements for a "preservative ban and cold chain upgrade," both of which are expected to increase costs by 15% to 30%. Experts suggest that small and medium-sized factories unable to afford the renovation costs may be acquired or exit the market within two years of the national standard taking effect, while leading brands are expected to further expand their market share through economies of scale.

[International Energy Agency: Low-Emission Hydrogen Projects Face Headwinds but Still See Strong Growth] The International Energy Agency (IEA) released its "Global Hydrogen Assessment 2025" report on the 12th, stating that despite multiple headwinds, low-emission hydrogen projects are expected to continue to grow strongly through 2030. The report notes that due to factors such as high costs, uncertainty about demand and regulation, and slow infrastructure development, low-emission hydrogen development has fallen short of industry and government targets in recent years, with a recent wave of project delays and cancellations. However, strong growth is projected through 2030. By then, annual production from projects already in operation, under construction, or with final investment decisions is expected to increase more than fivefold from 2024 levels, exceeding 4 million tons. If effective policies are implemented to ensure demand, an additional 6 million tons of annual production capacity could be added by 2030.

Nvidia's "Biggest Short" Surrenders: Amidst the accelerating AI revolution, DA Davidson, an investment bank that previously held a bearish view on Nvidia, has undergone a significant reversal. In its latest report, DA Davidson upgraded Nvidia's stock rating from "Neutral" to "Buy" and raised its price target from $195 to $210 per share. Previously, DA Davidson analysts had warned that Nvidia's stock price could plummet by as much as 48%. At the time, DA Davidson believed that spending by hyperscale tech companies could peak in 2026, which could have a significant impact on Nvidia's business. "Our growing optimism about the growth in demand for AI computing has replaced our concerns about Nvidia," Gil Luria, head of technology research at DA Davidson, and his team of analysts wrote in their latest report. Shortly after Nvidia released its earnings report, Luria stated in a note that his view on Nvidia has "changed considerably" over the past six months due to the rapid development and adoption of AI in the enterprise. Meanwhile, hyperscale spending does not appear to be nearing its peak. “This does mean the most important thing – overwhelming growth in demand for computing power. It’s the only thing that matters,” DA Davidson analysts wrote. “Nvidia should be able to keep growing over the next two years, regardless of where that growth comes from.”
