- A CNN reporter asked about U.S. lawmakers voting on whether to ban ByteDance from operating in the U.S. What is China's response?
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin stated that in recent years, despite the U.S. failing to provide any evidence that ByteDance threatens U.S. national security, they have continued to suppress ByteDance.

Strategy Review
1. Why does Morgan Stanley insist on not being bullish on US stocks?
As Wall Street banks are raising their forecasts for US stocks, prominent Wall Street bear and Morgan Stanley analyst Wilson insists on keeping the year-end target for the S&P 500 at 4,500 points. He believes that without widespread profit growth, there is not enough reason to raise expectations.
2. Bitcoin expected to rise to $150,000 next year?!
Bernstein analysts believe that with the current strong momentum, the price of Bitcoin may "break out" after the halving in April! They are "more convinced now" that by mid-2025, Bitcoin will reach $150,000.
3. Why should we focus on US small and mid-cap stocks now?
The surge driven by the "Big Seven" is clearly overheated! "We haven't seen any significant corrections in the stock market or the economy for a long time. The market now appears particularly fragile, and we seem more vulnerable to major adjustments."
