🌻這星期, 比較引起我注意的就是這幾個新聞了
☘️美國支付公司PayPal(PYPL)宣布,將以3000億日圓(27億美元)收購日本新創公司Paidy,以強化自家「先買後付」(BNPL)產品。
熟悉美股的讀者, 應該對BNPL不陌生了. PayPal這舉動, 其實也強化了跟Amazon的關係:
(from Morgan Stanley)
Provides potential for initial relationship with AMZN in Japan: We think the deal is most notable for giving PYPL its first entry into AMZN's large ecosystem, which PYPL has been trying to gain access to for some time. Paidy began providing BNPL services for AMZN in Japan in November 2019, and after the deal closes, PYPL should have a clear path to eventually sell some of its other core services to AMZN in Japan.
☘️lululemon(LULU)昨天(台灣周四凌晨)發表財報了, 股價跳漲10.47%.
Morgan Stanley:
We highlight margin expansion as particularly impressive against 1) higher eCommerce penetration, which has historically resulted in EBIT margin degradation for many other specialty retail peers, 2) the acquisition of MIRROR, which has not yet achieved profitability, & 3) already best-in-class historical operating margin levels. While some macro factors like lean industry-wide inventory levels may be partially supporting these results, in our view they point to a higher & more profitable growth trajectory for the business compared to the outlook pre-Covid. As such, though LULU’s P/E multiple sits at 46x, above the high end of its pre-Covid 18-41x range, we view current levels as merited against higher future growth & profitability. In our view, this may represent a more permanent valuation re-rating for LULU, & the stock likely continues to trade at elevated levels until results prove otherwise.
🌻Alphabet(GOOGL)今年的表現為什麼那麼亮眼?
今年最會漲的FAANG個股之一, 就是GOOGL了. 如果有在follow這家公司的讀者, 應該有發現他們的營收結構跟過去幾年很不一樣了(可以看下面的表格). YouTube以及Cloud業務成為新的營收成長動能.

How long does protection from COVID-19 vaccines last?
As Taiwan begins its long-awaited ( ) vaccination drive ( ) one year after the beginning of the pandemic, the promise of an added layer of protection against COVID-19 has many wondering: “How long does protection from COVID-19 vaccines last?”
According to the Associated Press, experts don’t know yet because they’re still studying vaccinated people to see when protection might wear off ( ).
How well the vaccines work against emerging ( ) variants ( ) will also determine if, when and how often additional shots might be needed.
“We only have information for as long as the vaccines have been studied,” said Deborah Fuller, a vaccine researcher at the University of Washington. “We have to study the vaccinated population and start to see, at what point do people become vulnerable ( ) again to the virus?”
So far, Pfizer’s ongoing ( ) trial indicates the company’s two-dose vaccine remains highly effective for at least six months, and likely longer. People who got Moderna’s vaccine also still had notable levels of virus-fighting antibodies ( ) six months after the second required shot.
While the current COVID-19 vaccines will likely last for at least about a year, they probably won’t offer lifelong ( ) protection, as with measles ( ) shots, said Dr. Kathleen Neuzil, a vaccine expert at the University of Maryland.
Variants are another reason we might need an additional shot.
So far, the vaccines appear protective against the notable variants that have emerged, though somewhat ( ) less so on the one first detected in South Africa.
If it turns out we need another shot, a single dose could extend protection of the current shots or contain vaccination for one or more variants.
The need for follow-up ( ) shots will also depend partly on the success of the vaccination push globally, and tamping ( ) down transmission ( ) of the virus and emerging variants.
COVID-19疫苗的有效防護期有多久?
繼COVID-19疫情爆發後將近一年多的時間,台灣近日開始陸續施打疫苗。然而,疫苗的效用也讓許多人質疑,打完規定的兩劑後,到底可以撐多久?
根據美聯社所做的調查,因專家仍然在觀察近期接收疫苗的對象進行研究,目前還無法確定疫苗效能確切能維持多久。
再者,多久需要施打一次疫苗也得依據一般疫苗針對不斷出現的變種病毒的效能而論。
美國華盛頓大學的疫苗研究員德柏拉.富勒 (Deborah Fuller)表示「我們目前手上的資訊僅限於廠商研發疫苗時所做的研究。我們仍然需要觀察已接收疫苗族群的各位在什麼時間點開始又會再次被COVID-19感染。」
依照目前情況而論,輝瑞公司正在進行的實驗表示該公司的兩劑疫苗至少在6個月內仍然高度有效,並且有機會撐得更久。研究同時顯示,接收莫德納疫苗的族群在第二劑的6個月後,體內依舊保留著抗疫抗體。
美國馬里蘭大學疫苗專家凱薩琳.紐澤 (Kathleen Neuzil) 表示,雖然目前的疫苗可能撐到一年之久,但他們如同麻疹疫苗,應無法帶給大家終身的保護力。
變種病毒也可能成為我們需要被施打另一劑疫苗的原因。
目前為止,這些疫苗儘管對於南非發現的變種病毒保護作用較差,對於其他主要流行之變種病毒效力似乎不差。
如果未來發現我們需要再接收一劑疫苗,單一劑有機會延長保護力或是能對抗一種或多種變種病毒的效力。
對後續施打疫苗的需求也將取決於全球範圍內推動疫苗接種的成效,以及遏制病毒和新出現的變種病毒之傳播。

Some people describe that the old ROC government was reborn and re-invented in Taiwan, and our current government is a fusion of the ROC and institutions from Taiwan’s Japanese colonial era.
有些人形容,過去的中華民國政府在台灣重生,並且被「重新發明」,而我們現在的政府是一種融合體,結合了中華民國體制與台灣日本殖民時期的機構。
So in conclusion, Taiwan is an independent nation which carries the legacy of republican China. I would say that Taiwan is somewhere in the middle between a regional independence movement (Scotland; Catalonia) and a two-state rivalry (North & South Korea; East & West Germany).
總而言之,台灣是一個主權獨立的國家,這個獨立的國家乘載了「中國大陸民國時期」所遺留的歷史遺產[legacy]。我會說,台灣的處境介於區域獨立運動(蘇格蘭、加泰隆尼亞)和冷戰兩國對抗(南北韓、東西德)這兩種模式之間的中間地帶。
Secretary Pompeo recently said that Taiwan shows the world what a “free China” could achieve. In a way that’s true, Taiwan carries the legacy of a Free China. Taiwan might carry the hopes of many in the global Chinese-speaking community. But Taiwan is not just a free version of China, since Taiwan also has its own trajectory and uniqueness, including our Japanese colonial history. This duality (of the ROC and Taiwan) is the key to understanding Taiwan.
美國國務卿龐培歐最近說,台灣顯示了一個「自由的中國」所能達成的成就。某種程度來說這是事實,台灣確實乘載了「自由中國」的歷史遺產。台灣或許乘載了全球華語世界許多人的期盼。但另一方面,台灣不僅僅是一個「自由版本的中國」,因為台灣擁有自己的軌跡與獨特性,包括日本殖民史。這種二元性(中華民國以及台灣)的並存,就是理解台灣的關鍵。
::
I view Matsu as an important border area that is very close to China, and a place where many important issues need to be addressed, including the environment, disease control, maritime resources and security. I think it would be a mistake for any political party to neglect this region, which was why I decided to run for office here in Matsu, and launch a county chapter here.
我認為馬祖是一個重要的國家邊境地區,由於非常靠近中國,這裡有許多重要的議題需要處理,包括自然環境、疾病管控、海洋資源以及國家安全等。我認為任何政黨如果忽略這個地區,都是一個錯誤,這也就是為什麼我要在這裡選舉,並且建立一個地方黨部。
I think the rise in votes for President Tsai and the DPP in Matsu is symbolic, as the DPP is the party that supports Taiwan’s sovereignty and democracy, and our party tends to be more cautious of interactions with the Communist Party.
我認為蔡總統和民進黨在馬祖的選票增加,非常具有象徵意義。因為民進黨是支持台灣主權和民主的政黨,而我們的政黨對於跟共產黨互動,採取比較謹慎的態度。
By building a party chapter here, it symbolizes the DPP’s effort to reach out beyond our traditional voter base. Some people often assume that since the outlying islands are culturally and historically connected with Fujian Province, then the voters here will not be critical towards the communist party. But what we are seeing in the younger generation here is that, people can be simultaneously proud of their Fujian heritage, AND stand adamantly against authoritarianism.
當我們在這裡建立一個地方黨部,象徵民進黨努力爭取傳統支持者之外的選民。有些人會先入為主,認為離島地區因為文化和歷史上,跟福建省的連結很緊密,代表選民不會對共產黨有所批判。但是我們在這裡的年輕世代可以看見,許多人對福建(閩東)文化傳承感到驕傲,但【同時】堅定反對威權主義。
The Communist Party tries to tell the world that, if a person identifies with Chinese culture, then they must support the Communist Party. That’s the traditional logic, but that’s a logic that merits criticism. They’re trying to link the two together. What we are trying to do is to break that link. We see a growing number of people that identify with Chinese culture, AND simultaneously stand against China annexing Taiwan.
共產黨想要告訴世界,如果一個人認同中華文化,就必須支持共產黨。那是傳統的邏輯,但這個邏輯值得批判。他們想要把兩者連結在一起。而我們正在嘗試做的,就是要打破這個連結。我們看到有越來越多選民,既認同中華文化,也【同時】堅定反對中國併吞台灣。
I think this speaks to a wider audience in the Chinese-speaking world on a global scale. The traditional argument to support Taiwan’s sovereignty would be to emphasize Taiwan’s cultural differences with China. Here in Matsu or Kinmen, we can develop an argument that supports Taiwan’s sovereignty that is not based on cultural identity, but rather on common values between Taiwan and Kinmen or Matsu, and anti-communism. This builds a coalition between traditional supporters of Taiwanese independence, and people in the pan-Chinese world that are pro-democratic and anti-communist. This actually includes many people in the main island Taiwan and the outlying islands, as well as overseas ethnic Chinese.
我覺得這也對全球華語世界更多人,傳達了訊息。傳統上維護台灣主權的論點,是強調台灣和中國之間的文化差異。但是在金門或馬祖,我們可以發展一套支持台灣主權的論點,並非基於文化認同,而是基於台灣與金馬之間的共同價值,以及反共的理念。這樣便能建立一個聯盟,結合台灣傳統的本土派持持者,以及泛華語世界中「挺民主、反共產」的民眾。這其實涵蓋了台灣本島許多人,還有離島民眾,更包括許多海外華人。
You will also notice President Tsai places an emphasis on maintaining sovereignty & democracy, regardless of support for an ROC identity or a separate Taiwan identity. So the DPP itself is also reaching out. That’s the dualism of ROC and Taiwan identity.
你可能也會注意到,蔡英文強調希望大家共同支持維護國家主權和民主,不論是支持中華民國認同或是台灣認同。所以民進黨本身也在尋求更多人的支持。這就是中華民國和台灣認同的二元性。

Because of the pneumonia in Wuhan and the gradual rise of the epidemic, many people on the Internet ask me whether Asians in France will be discriminated against by the French? In the film, I will also follow my current state in France. French people actually treat Asians It is quite neutral. Some French people who are afraid of death and very nervous will make foolish and illogical decisions because of pneumonia, but generally French people treat Asians well, and French people especially like Taiwanese.

On March 19, 2017, Taiwanese pro-democracy activist Lee Ming-Che (李明哲) disappeared in China. Ten days later, China admitted to having taken him. Mr. Lee is now serving a five-year sentence for the “subversion of state” in Hunan, China. Evidence against him included social media activities on QQ, WeChat, and Facebook, both when he was physically inside and outside Chinese borders.
Today’s guest is E-ling Chiu(邱伊翎)Executive Director of Amnesty International in Taiwan, and former Secretary General of the Taiwan Association for Human Rights. Ms. Chiu has been working closely with Lee’s wife, lobbying for international support and leading the coalition of civic society called “the Lee Ming-Che Rescue Team."
Today’s host is William Yang, a correspondent for Deutsche Welle based in Taipei. Yang is a regular contributor to The Guardian, Quartz, and The Independent.
