[Surge in Thai gold exports to Cambodia pushes up the baht, sparking calls for an investigation] An unusual surge in Thailand's gold exports to neighboring Cambodia has sparked calls for an investigation. These exports are seen as one of the factors pushing up the Thai baht, whose appreciation is threatening the country's exports and tourism industry. According to customs department data, Thailand's gold exports to Cambodia increased by 19% year-on-year to 71.3 billion baht (about US$2.25 billion) in the first seven months of 2025. The growth rate may allow exports this year to exceed the record of 106 billion baht set last year. Kriengkrai Thiennukul, chairman of the Federation of Thai Industries, said that gold and jewelry exports to Cambodia have surged since last year, and the scale is inconsistent with the country's size and demand. "This looks suspicious," Kriengkrai said, calling on the Bank of Thailand, Customs and the Ministry of Commerce to launch an investigation. "It may involve gray industries such as scams and casinos. They may use gold as a tool for money laundering."

Key core technologies should be enhanced, and appropriate technological approaches should be selected to continuously advance the research and development of basic materials, key equipment, and innovative processes in the hydrogen energy sector. The development of high-level scientific and technological innovation platforms should be deepened to accelerate the aggregation of innovative elements such as talent, technology, and capital, and optimize the mechanism for the transformation and application of hydrogen energy innovation achievements. The layout of the hydrogen energy industry should be coordinated to accelerate the construction of a safe, stable, and efficient hydrogen energy supply network. Support should be provided for the development and growth of leading hydrogen energy enterprises, promote collaborative innovation among large, medium, and small enterprises, identify niche markets, and guide the concentrated development of the hydrogen energy industry.

Cook Responds to iPhone Air Battery Life Concerns: Apple CEO Tim Cook recently visited the Corning plant in Harrodsburg, Kentucky, and sat down with CNBC host Jim Kramer for an exclusive interview. The visit included not only the unveiling of Apple's latest products but also a major manufacturing investment plan. Cook showcased the new iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone Air, and introduced the new real-time translation feature in AirPods. He then turned the conversation to the iPhone Air, highlighting its "professional-grade performance" in a smaller package and stating that Apple's design was designed to make consumers hesitate between the two models, thereby highlighting their respective strengths. In response to concerns about the iPhone Air's battery life, Kramer bluntly stated that most people assume a smaller size means shorter battery life. Cook responded, "The battery life is excellent. You're going to love it." We carefully designed it from the inside out. Because iPhone Air uses an eSIM-only design, eliminating the physical SIM card slot, this allows the battery to extend into the original SIM card space, achieving greater capacity and longer battery life. In short, this is truly a remarkable innovation.
