On March 18th, Tencent Cloud AI Agent Security Center launched the "Credential Sandbox" to address key security issues, ensuring that "the agent never holds the key." According to reports, the Key Sandbox allows agents to complete all cloud API calls without holding any keys.

Analyst Claudio Rubis stated that as more drivers switch to electric vehicles, fossil fuel savings are expected to increase year by year for the remainder of this decade. Under an economic transition scenario (where governments deploy economically viable technologies rather than policies primarily driven by climate goals), daily oil consumption reductions are projected to more than double to 5.25 million barrels by 2030. Two-wheeled and three-wheeled vehicles currently account for the majority of road fuel reductions due to the rapid adoption of electric motorcycles, particularly in developing countries. With the increasing popularity of electric vehicles, they are expected to cut even more oil demand later in this decade. A report by the think tank Ember found that electric vehicles will reduce daily oil consumption by 1.7 million barrels by 2025. Ember analyst Walter stated that the increasing cost competitiveness of electric vehicles relative to gasoline vehicles, coupled with oil price volatility, means that choosing electric vehicles is a wise move for countries hoping to mitigate future shocks.March 18th - Daiwa Securities estimates that if crude oil prices trade around $90 per barrel, Japans net imports will increase by approximately 8.1 trillion yen. The estimates show this figure rises to 11.4 trillion yen at $100 per barrel and to 17.8 trillion yen if prices reach $120 per barrel. A widening trade deficit could further pressure the yen, leading to increased import costs and ultimately eroding corporate profits.On March 18, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference. According to Reuters, a large-scale US arms sale to Taiwan, including advanced interceptor missiles, is about to be submitted to President Trump for approval, and Trump may sign it after his visit to China. What is your comment on this? Chen Binhua, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office, stated that we firmly oppose relevant countries selling weapons to Taiwan, and this position is consistent and clear. The US should adhere to the one-China principle and the three Sino-US joint communiqués, handle the issue of arms sales to Taiwan prudently, and take concrete actions to safeguard the stability of Sino-US relations and peace across the Taiwan Strait.March 18th - On the morning of March 18th, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference. Recently, the United States announced the initiation of Section 301 investigations into unfair trade practices by some trading partners, including Taiwan. Some analysts on the island believe that the DPP authorities constant acquiescence to the US without any reciprocation is unacceptable. What is your comment on this? Spokesperson Chen Binhua of the Taiwan Affairs Office: The DPP authorities adhere to the principle of "blindly following the US," unprincipledly flattering the US and selling out Taiwan without any bottom line, sacrificing the well-being of the Taiwanese people and the islands economic prospects to align themselves with the US. However, constant compromise and concessions will not earn them any pity, but only further plunder, ultimately leading to their being completely exploited. It is truly laughable, despicable, and pathetic.
