中国护照新增10国豁免签证

China gains visa-free access to 10 more countries

愈来愈多的政府正在通过投资公民身份项目刺激经济发展和增长。

More and more governments are embracing citizenship-by-investment programs as a means of stimulating economic development and growth.

同时也有更多富裕人士及人才渴望拥有多元化的公民身份，让自己和家人拥有更好的国际机遇、更大的旅游自由度及更稳定安全的生活。

And an increased number of wealthy and talented individuals are looking to diversify their citizenship portfolios to give themselves and their families greater international opportunity, travel freedom, stability, and security.

全球居留权和公民身份规划顾问公司恒理环球顾问事务所有限公司1月10日发表2018年恒理护照排行榜。

Henley & Partners, the global leader in residence and citizenship planning，released the 2018 Henley Passport Index on Jan 10th, 2018.

中国护照获得60个国家豁免签证。

Chinese passport holders now enjoy visa-free access to a total of 60 countries.

在全球排行第75位，较去年上升10位，是全球排名升幅第三大的国家。

China has ranked 75th in the 2018 Henley Passport Index, moving up from 85th in the previous year and becoming the 3rd biggest climber globally.

德国连续第五年位居恒理护照排行榜榜首，该排行榜旧称护照免签指数。

Germany holds on to the 1st place for the 5th year running in the 2018 edition of the index — previously known as the Henley & Partners Visa Restrictions Index.

中国香港特区护照排名较去年上升一位，全球排名第21位，护照持有者享受共155个国家的免签证待遇。

Hong Kong SAR moves up one place in the latest edition of the index. With its passport holders enjoying visa-free access to 155 countries in total, Hong Kong SAR passport ranks 21st globally.

新加坡护照排名全球第二，是该国10年来最好名次，享受免签进出176个国家，是该地区全球排名最高的国家。

Countries in Southeast Asia have remained stable. Offering visa-free travel to 176 countries, and ranked 2nd globally, Singapore remains the best-performing country in the region, achieving its highest ranking on the index in 10 years.

美国护照于2018年排行榜中位居第五，豁免签证国家由2017年的172个增加至173个。俄罗斯排名上升三位，名列第48位。

The US is among the countries holding 5th place on the 2018 edition of the index, improving its visa-free score from 172 in 2017 to 173 in 2018. The Russian Federation, meanwhile climbed up three places to 48th position.

恒理香港管理合伙人赖峥嵘指出，现时人们越来越相互依赖，流动性也越来越强，国界的概念正在改变。

Jennifer Lai, Managing Partner of Henley & Partners Hong Kong, says people are more interdependent and mobile than ever before, and the concept of borders is changing.

2017年我们见证了不少重大的地缘政治事件对全球连接性和流动性的影响。

While 2017 has witnessed several major geopolitical events impacting global connectivity and mobility.

然而，全球公民这一概念依旧盛行，人们对旅游自由度的需求仍然强劲。

The concept of the global citizen and the increasing demand for greater travel freedom are alive and well.

赖女士说：“尽管各国之间的旅游自由度差距颇大，且出现了愈来愈多不利于投资移民的政策，但只有少数国家豁免签证数量于2018年有所减少。

“Despite the world experiencing huge disparity in the levels of travel freedom between countries, and an growing tendency towards immigration-hostile policies, only a small minority of countries on the 2018 Henley Passport Index lost access.

大部分国家排名相比2017年均有所提高或维持不变。这些数据显示，虽然某些国家收紧其边境政策，但事实上其他国家正变得更加开放，希望吸纳移民以带来庞大的经济价值。”

Countries by and large either improved or maintained their access compared to 2017. These findings reflect the fact that, while certain countries are tightening their borders, others are in fact becoming more migrant-friendly, as they seek to tap into the immense economic value that migration can bring.” says Lai.

投资移民迅速成为改善流动性的快捷途径。

Investment migration fast becoming the quickest route to improved mobility.

赖女士提出：“备选公民身份一直被认为是可靠的个人分散投资及投资策略，因其能够以最大程度避免不同风险和缺失。

“Alternative citizenship is considered a sound portfolio diversification and investment strategy for individuals; insulating them to a greater degree from risks and shortcomings.

恒理护照排行榜不但能让个人检视自身护照的旅游自由度，更为各国政府提供重要参考指标，以了解其护照在全球环境下的实力。”

The Henley Passport Index is relevant to anyone seeking to strengthen their level of access, as well as to governments trying to understand their passport offering in a global context,” concludes Lai.

GE携手罗氏开发整合性数字化诊断平台

GE, Roche Enter Partnership to Develop Integrated Digital Diagnostics Platform

美国GE医疗集团与瑞士罗氏公司在美国宣布建立长期战略合作伙伴关系，联合开发并共同推广数字化临床决策支持解决方案。

GE Healthcare has entered into a strategic, long-term partnership with Roche to jointly develop and co-market digital clinical decision support solutions.

此次合作将首先聚焦能够加速和改善针对癌症患者和重症监护患者的个性化诊疗方案的相关数字化产品。

The partnership will initially focus on products that accelerate and improve individualized treatment options for cancer and critical care patients.

双方致力于开发业界首个数字化平台，通过使用高级分析法，提供支持临床决策的工作流程解决方案及应用。

The two companies aim to develop an industry-first digital platform, using advanced analytics to provide workflow solutions and apps that support clinical decisions.

该平台将支持无缝整合、分析体内和体外数据、患者病历、最佳医疗实践、实时监测和最新研究成果。

This will allow the seamless integration and analysis of in-vivo and in-vitro data, patient records, medical best practice, real time monitoring and the latest research outcomes.

同时，临床医生会得到全面的决策支持，确保患者得到正确治疗和高质量护理。

Clinicians will then have the comprehensive decision support for providing the right treatment and quality of care for their patients.

例如，由多名专家组成的肿瘤治疗团队会得到一个全面的数据仪表板，用于癌症患者在各阶段病程治疗方案的审查、协作和协调。

For example, oncology care teams with multiple specialists will have a comprehensive data dashboard to review, collaborate and align on treatment decisions for cancer patients at each stage of their disease.

在重症监护领域，医院监测设备的患者数据会与其生物标志物、组织病理学、基因组和测序数据整合在一起，帮助医生在患者出现严重并发症之前，能够识别甚至预测它们。

In the critical care setting, data from a patient’s hospital monitoring equipment will be integrated with their biomarker, tissue pathology, genomic and sequencing data, helping physicians to identify, or even predict severe complications before they strike.

GE医疗集团是全球医学影像设备的领导者，而罗氏诊断则在体外诊断领域处于全球领先地位。

GE Healthcare is a worldwide leader in medical imaging equipment, while Roche Diagnostics is the global leader in in-vitro diagnostics.
