Protesters march in Panama against the contract extension for a huge copper mine_我的网站

一 |     PANAMA CITY -- Protesters blocked streets across Panama on Monday, demanding the government rescind a contract to continue copper mining in a biodiverse region.Teaching and construction unions led calls against the contract with environmentalists, saying continued development threatens forested land and crucial groundwater just 75 miles (120 kilometers) west of the capital, in the state of Colon.Across Panama City, peaceful protesters handed out fliers, but in some areas on the outskirts of the capital police met protesters with tear gas. In anticipation of the largest marches since a cost of living crisis last July, both the Department of Education and the University of Panama cancelled classes. The government used social media to highlight the “enormous contribution” the mine — Panama's largest private investment ever — makes to the country's economy.In March, Panama's legislature reached an agreement with Canadian mining company First Quantum, allowing its local subsidiary, Minera Panama, to continue operating a huge open-pit copper mine in central Panama for at least 20 more years. The mine was temporarily closed last year when talks between the government and First Quantum broke down over payments the government wanted to receive.Protests began after President Laurentino Cortizo signed off on that contract on Friday after it was approved by the congress.The president acted surreptitiously, according to Fernando Abrego, leader of Panama's Association of Teachers union. “The government decided this confrontation by quickly and expeditiously approving a contract they know is rejected by the people,” he said.Teachers were joined by construction workers, who are one of country's most powerful labor groups. “The people are in the streets in defense of sovereignty," said union leader Saúl Méndez, "in the face of a contract that cedes self-determination by devastating the environment to steal resources.”It is unclear how persuasive these arguments will prove against the economic boon of a single mining site that already brings in 3% of the nation’s gross domestic product. Minera Panama says the mine will employ thousands of Panamanians and that its shipments make 80% of the country's total exports.The new contract, initially slowed by labor disagreements, secures Panama at least $375 million a year from Minera Panama, over 10 times more than the previous deal. It represents one of the largest national mining contracts in a region where other countries like Costa Rica regulate the sector more stringently and El Salvador which banned metal mining in 2017. For teachers, however, Abrego said concession was not an option, and that the teachers' union would hold an assembly to plan their next actions. “We will remain in the streets,” he said.。    IT之家 7 月 21 日消息，根据 Counterpoint Research 今日最新发布的折叠屏智能手机市场预测报告，2026 年全球折叠屏智能手机出货量预计将实现 21% 的同比增长。         这一市场扩张将在 2025 年的基础上持续推进，主要由高端横向折叠设备的稳定市场需求、头部手机厂商间的产品竞争加剧，以及苹果预计正式入局该品类等多重因素共同推动。         2026 年三星预计仍将保持在折叠屏手机市场的领先地位，但其市场份额将从 2025 年的 40% 下滑至 32%，竞争格局将迎来明显变化。

二 |          报告认为，随着苹果正式进入折叠屏赛道，华为将延续强势表现（尤其在中国市场），市场份额分布将出现较大调整：苹果预计在入局首年拿下 25% 的市场份额，华为将持有 24% 的份额，摩托罗拉、荣耀分别占据 8% 和 3% 的份额。         报告还称，在苹果首款折叠屏产品正式面世之前，三星即将举办的 Galaxy Unpacked 活动将成为折叠屏市场的重要节点。预计三星将推出 Galaxy Z8 系列产品，包含 Galaxy Z Flip8、Galaxy Z Fold8 以及一款尺寸更大的折叠屏设备。其中全新的大尺寸横向折叠设计产品（IT之家注：此处预计是指“阔折叠”）将受到广泛关注，该产品有望带来实用性更强的外屏使用体验，同时为多任务操作、内容观看以及 AI 辅助生产力提供更大的内屏空间。         随着 AI 功能从基础的对话交互转向日常工作流场景，更大的屏幕正在成为智能手机的核心竞争力，文档总结、内容编辑、日程管理、跨应用信息流转等操作都能从更大的屏幕空间与更灵活的布局设计中获益。         Counterpoint Research 副总监 Liz Lee 表示，2026 年标志着折叠屏手机市场进入全新阶段，苹果入局有望全面提升消费者对折叠屏产品的认知度，同时抬高高端折叠屏的产品基准线。而三星在产品成熟度、渠道覆盖能力以及折叠屏用户体验层面依然拥有明确优势，其搭载大尺寸屏幕的新品可以让折叠屏的使用体验更为自然，尤其适配需要在单屏幕上同时显示多任务、追踪进度、跨应用使用 AI 功能的用户需求。
