Venturing beyond just the immediate repercussions, the research unearths both the overt and concealed long-term consequences that businesses encounter. This study integrates findings from various research, including quantitative reports, drawing upon real-world incidents faced by both small and large enterprises. This investigation emphasizes the profound intangible costs, such as trade name devaluation and potential damage to brand reputation, which can persist long after the breach. By collating insights from industry experts and a myriad of research, the study provides a comprehensive perspective on the profound, multi-dimensional impacts of cybersecurity incidents. The overarching aim is to underscore the often-underestimated scope and depth of these breaches, emphasizing the entire timeline post-incident and the urgent need for fortified preventative and reactive measures in the digital domain.展开更多

As the world's leading food importer, China is profoundly affected by the state of global food security. Since 2020, the world has been experiencing a new round of food crisis because of the combined effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ukraine crisis, and extreme weather conditions. International rivalries over food security are intensifying,and global food security governance is facing severe challenges. Under these conditions, China's food imports have remained robust, and its external dependence has increased. As a result, the external risks confronting China's food security have multiplied significantly, compelling the country to address challenges such as the deteriorating terms of trade for food,spread of protectionism and populism, escalation of geopolitical tensions,potential risks associated with the concentration of import sources,stigmatization it faces when participating in global governance, and extreme climate shocks. Looking ahead, China must uphold a holistic approach to national security, advocating a new concept of food security and strengthening the foundations for food security to establish a new development pattern in this field. Meanwhile, China should improve its diplomatic agenda through the Belt and Road Initiative by increasing support for global governance, actively implementing “Chinese proposals,” and fostering a global community of shared food security for humanity.展开更多
