下午察：美思明智员工获释 中国再释稳外资信号？
美国尽职调查公司美思明智（Mintz Group）星期二（3月25日）说，在两年前的突击搜查行动中被中国官方拘捕的五名本土员工，已获释放。
美思明智发言人对中国当局表示感谢，谢谢“让我们的前同事终于能够回到家人身边。”
2023年3月，中国突击搜查美思明智北京办事处，关闭了公司业务，并拘留了五名中国籍员工。那次行动成为中国官方大规模打击美国咨询公司以及其他外企的开端，引发在华外国投资者恐慌。

Since the violent storming of Capitol Hill and subsequent ban of former U.S. President Donald Trump from Facebook and Twitter, the removal of Parler from Amazon’s servers, and the de-platforming of incendiary right-wing content, messaging services Telegram and Signal have seen a deluge of new users. In January alone, Telegram reported 90 million new accounts. Its founder, Pavel Durov, described this as “the largest digital migration in human history.” Signal reportedly doubled its user base to 40 million people and became the most downloaded app in 70 countries. The two services rely on encryption to protect the privacy of user communication, which has made them popular with protesters seeking to conceal their identities against repressive governments in places like Belarus, Hong Kong, and Iran. But the same encryption technology has also made them a favored communication tool for criminals and terrorist groups, including al Qaeda and the Islamic State.
For some time, Mr. Durov and a few dozen staffers had no fixed headquarters, but rather traveled the world, setting up shop in one city after another, he told the Journal in 2016. The company now has its operational base in Dubai, though it says it doesn’t keep servers there.Mr. Durov maintains a yearslong friendship from his VK days with actor and tech investor Jared Leto, with whom he shares an ascetic lifestyle that eschews meat and alcohol.
