A | United Airlines says that it will start boarding passengers in economy class with window seats first starting next week, a move that will speed up boarding times for flights.The airline said in an internal memo that it will implement the plan on Oct. 26. The plan, known as WILMA, for window, middle and aisle, was tested at four domestic locations and one hub. United said that it’s shown to save up to two minutes of boarding time. The change will begin with passengers in Group 4. Those with window seats will board first, followed by those with middle seats and then those with aisle seats. United said that multiple customers on the same economy reservation, such as families, will be allowed to board their flight together. The plan will be implemented on domestic flights and some international flights. Individuals in first class and business class will see no change in their boarding process. There's also no change for the pre-boarding group that includes travelers with disabilities, unaccompanied minors, active-duty military and families traveling with children that are 2 years old or younger.On Tuesday United reported that it it earned $1.14 billion in the vacation-heavy third quarter, but the airline forecast weaker profit the rest of the year due to surging jet fuel prices and the suspension of flights to Tel Aviv during the Israel-Hamas war.United said its fourth-quarter adjusted profit would be between $1.50 and $1.80 per share, short of Wall Street's expectations for $2.09 per share.The high end of the United forecast assumes that the airline will resume Tel Aviv flights next month, while the low end assumes no more flights this year. United and many other airlines halted the flights shortly after Hamas militants attacked Israel on Oct. 7.Shares of United Airlines Holdings Inc. fell more than 8% Wednesday.。

据悉，自默克尔执政时期中德贸易额连续数年实现“翻倍式增长”，中国在2016年正式超过美国成为德国第一大贸易伙伴，这在当时被德媒形容为“奇迹”。

B | 因为从二战后苏联和美国分割东西德国，这两个国家就一直在美苏的“阴影”之下，美方控制德国经济的超过半个世纪之久。从默克尔上台决定和中国大力发展关系，仅过了十几年时间中德就成为最大贸易伙伴；德媒称成就建立在中国和德国地理上还非常遥远，这使得贸易关系的保持更具价值性。

然而在9日当天，德国统计局发布一份报告，上面显示1月至3月，德国与美国的进出口贸易总额总计680亿美元，这一数据已经高于中德进出口贸易总额约640亿美元，意味着美国在季度统计中首次“抢回”了第一名的位置。

D | 消息人士称这只是季度报告，如果德美在后续因为其他因素（如美国大选）受到影响的话，那么他们能否保持这一关系成为“年度第一”还不确定。当然从现在的趋势来看，德国正在在和美国贸易额升高，和中国则是下降。

《柏林时报》和《镜报》等媒体引述德国经济研究所部门负责人马特斯的说法称，由于一些复杂的原因，现阶段德国似乎正在做出“重新定位”，从中国转向美国。至于原因媒体推测和德国政府做出对华“去依赖化”有很大关系，德方虽然说“拒绝脱钩”但是在这一基础上刻意削减对中国的贸易额，缩小在原材料、化工、零件等领域的进口，使得贸易额下降。

E | 再加上去年“中国战略”的出台，德国已经将长期逐渐缩减对中国的贸易当做一项基本政策了。

分析人士斯塔默则表示，比较乐观的是德国和中国贸易还有一项“结构性衰减”，即很多德企为了便利已经在中国开设分部，或是直接将生产线迁移、和中国合资生产，这部分贸易额不算在双边进出口资产中。

F | “结构性衰减”是中德经济融合更紧密的例证，这也是好的趋势；但更应该看到的是德国“红绿灯”执政联盟对美国的靠拢，和对他们最大贸易伙伴中国的莫名仇视，无论怎么粉饰，德国政府所谓的“减少依赖”就是“脱钩”的一部分，只是他们还没有能力完全脱离罢了。

值得一提的还有，数据显示德国对美进口增长受到了俄乌冲突很大影响，德国当前的天然气非常依赖从美国海运，他们对美进口的粮食、精加工矿产、工业设备和农业产品也出现了明显的增长幅度，这些原来都是德国向俄罗斯进口的货物。对此有评论称：“德外长刚在澳大利亚扬言‘中国对南太平洋形成威胁’，还要将军舰开过来，这种情况下能期待中德贸易变好吗？现在不是一群务实的人在执政，而是一群政客在玩丑陋的政治把戏而已。”
