Competition with china US Senate passed Billion program

Status: 09.06.2021 09:01 a.m.

With a $ 250 billion program, the US wants to make up economic ground against China. The aim is semiconductor production and the research area Artificial Intelligence. The US Senate has passed a huge investment program in research and technology. Across all parties, the senators voted in favor of the package of measures designed to strengthen the US economy in competition with China. One of the goals is to advance the production of semiconductors in the USA and research in the field of artificial intelligence. Senate Democratic Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said after the vote: “If we don’t do anything, our days as the dominant superpower could be numbered.” US President Joe Biden was satisfied with the Senate decision: “We are competing for victory in the 21st century and the starting shot has been fired.” The US would have to maintain its position as “the most innovative and productive nation in the world”, according to Biden.

Production capacities decreased

According to the White House, the proportion of semiconductor production capacity in the US has fallen from 37 percent to around 12 percent of global production over the past 20 years. US companies are dependent on foreign countries, in particular on countries in Asia, which is a risk in the supply chain. Currently, many automakers and electronics manufacturers are struggling with not enough chips on the market. Among other things, the surge in demand for notebooks and other computer technology during the pandemic led to the shortage of semiconductors.

Discover the technologies of tomorrow

President Biden said the bill will enable the US to discover, manufacture and improve tomorrow’s key technologies – from artificial intelligence to computer chips to lithium batteries used in smart devices and electric vehicles – in the United States United States. The House of Representatives must also give its approval for the Investment Act to come into force. According to the US media, it could meet with resistance there.

Corentin Tolisso. The Old Lady’s top target in the summer 2021 transfer window is still Sassuolo’s Manuel Locatelli, but Tolisso will be a backup. According to DiMarzio, Juventus had the first contact with Tolisso with the consent of coach Max Allegri. Tolisso’s contract at Bayern expires next year and he has struggled to compete for a starting place in the Gray Lobster’s midfield. The French player has great potential but injuries keep him from reaching his full potential. He still has some great performances for Bayern but with plenty of quality options in central midfield, the German club are weighing Tolisso’s future. An offer from Juventus for a player who is not so important and is about to enter the final year of his contract will be worth considering for Bayern. They certainly don’t want him to go under the CNTD format, but they don’t plan to extend it either. DiMarzio also pointed out that this is not the first time Juventus has pursued the French midfielder. They tried to sign him in 2017, when he was still playing for Olympique Lyon in Ligue 1. After that, Tolisso moved to Bayern for 41.5 million euros, a record transfer fee for Gray Lobster at the time. Only when Luca Hernandez moved from Atletico Madrid for a fee of 80 million euros in the summer of 2019, this record was broken. In addition to Juventus, Tolisso has also received the attention of many big players such as Arsenal, Man United, Inter Milan, Napoli and Atletico Madrid. In the winter transfer window of 2021, there was much information that Bayern wanted to use Tolisso as part of the agreement to sign Florian Neuhaus from Borussia Monchengladbach. However, the deal was not successful.

Also according to Microsoft, Nobelium is the “Russian guy” and is also the person behind the attack targeting SolarWinds customers in 2020. The organization behind the SolarWinds cyberattack discovered last year is currently targeting government agencies, research institutions, think tanks and NGOs. The comments come weeks after a May 7 ransomware attack on the Colonial Pipeline that shut down the largest US fuel pipeline network for several days, disrupt the national supply, On May 27, Microsoft announced that: “This wave of attacks targeted approximately 3,000 email accounts at more than 150 different organizations.” Microsoft said that US organizations are the most vulnerable to attacks, targeted victims come from at least 24 different countries. According to Microsoft, at least a quarter of the organizations targeted are engaged in international development, humanitarian and human rights issues. This week, Nobelium launched attacks by breaking into a marketing email account of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), thereby launching phishing attacks to multiple organizations. other. In statements issued Friday, the US Department of Homeland Security and USAID both said they have received and are in the process of investigating the above attack. The attack on information technology company SolarWinds, identified in December, accessed the information of thousands of companies and government offices using its products. Microsoft President Brad Smith described the attack as “the largest and most sophisticated attack the world has ever seen”. The attacks announced Thursday appear to be a continuation of multiple attempts to target government agencies involved in foreign policy, as part of an intelligence-gathering effort, Microsoft said. Intelligence. The company is currently in the process of notifying all of its target customers and has “no reason to believe” that these attacks are related to any exploits or vulnerabilities in the system.

The case that the information of 533 million Facebook accounts has just been released by hackers has made the issue of user privacy once again the focus of all attention. Agreeing on the fee of 5 million dong to regain the account after clicking on a strange link sent by a friend thanks to a vote on Facebook, Ms. LA, the owner of a famous beauty spa in Hanoi, spent 2 more days considering the proposal. about identity verification. Due to the characteristics of her job and the desire to create credibility with her partner, Ms. LA accepts to spend an additional 50 million to ask an intermediary to register for a green certificate. People who need to authenticate their Facebook accounts and other social networks like LA are not rare, especially business people, or celebrities. They are willing to spend a small amount of money to assert something that is their own property. While some platforms allow for free and simple identity verification, with Facebook it is both a difficult challenge and an intermediary fee is an option that is almost mandatory. That seemingly absurd thing is still happening every day, every hour, but no one is sure whether those verified accounts are guaranteed forever or not, because of the status of blue-tick accounts being occupied. becoming an online sales channel in recent times is easy to find. Especially when information about the data of 533 million Facebook users has just been released, many people cannot help but worry. The above data source is being sold by hackers on a hacker forum last week, including information such as phone number, login ID, full name, home address, date of birth, profile and email address … Which involves users in 106 countries, with 32 million Americans, 11 million British and 6 million Indians. In this regard, Facebook said the stolen data did not include users’ financial, health and password information. However, these data can provide valuable information for hackers and other breaches. More importantly, this is not the first time Facebook’s user data has been exposed on a large scale. Facebook user data is regularly leaked The 2015 cult case involving the British consulting firm Cambridge Analytica illegally used the personal data of more than 87 million Facebook users to target political ads. This is a scandal that caused Facebook to accept a settlement of up to $ 5 billion, and also caused founder Mark Zuckerberg to testify before the US Congress. Then in September 2019, a database of more than 400 million phone numbers related to Facebook accounts was released, including about 50 million Vietnamese users. Just 3 months later, the information of 267 million users including login IDs, names and phone numbers continued to fall into the hands of hackers. At the same time, the data leak in Belgium and Luxembourg, including that of European Justice Didier Reynders, many EU cabinet members and diplomats, has caused Facebook to suffer for a while. long time. However, Facebook explained that these data leaks were not caused by hackers breaking into the system, but rather by a vulnerability in the sync communication tool that was exploited by vandals in 2019. Facebook later The company has discovered the vulnerability and fixed it, and confirmed that similar incidents will not happen again in the future. Meanwhile, Mike Clark, Facebook’s director of product management, is constantly moving to try to downplay the impact of this large-scale leak. By March 2021, netizens were again shocked by the information that the data of 41 million Facebook users in Vietnam was distributed by hackers. Talking to a VietNamNet reporter at the time, a Facebook representative acknowledged that the leaked data was from users of this social network, but said “this may be information obtained before we (Facebook – PV) made changes over the past few years to protect users’ information. However, whether Facebook really protects users’ information according to what the head of this platform often says, that is another story. Judging by the recent situation, it seems that the problem of leaking Facebook user information is difficult to completely solve and needs to be looked at in detail. The spread of user information may first be because Facebook did not pay attention to this aspect, nor did it establish a complete and strict system to protect user information. At the same time, after a data breach, Facebook did not thoroughly summarize the problem, how to fix loopholes and prevent new problems from appearing. Not only that, a Facebook spokesperson said it is not clear which users should be notified in the recent incident. Because users cannot patch the vulnerabilities themselves and their personal data has been spread on the Internet, Facebook will not specifically notify the users involved. As a result, Facebook’s performance in this area is relatively poor, and user data leaks are frequent. After all, compared to other social software, users’ dependence on Facebook is still very high. If it leaks many times, I am afraid that it will easily cause irreparable losses and bad consequences. Legal privacy of Facebook users With the data of 87 million users exposed in the Cambridge Analytica scandal, the 10 countries with the most Facebook accounts being collected are the US, Philippines, Indonesia, UK, Mexico, Canada, India, Brazil, Vietnam and Australia. Vietnam has 427,446 user accounts whose data has been collected. CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted that Facebook made mistakes and that his company failed to protect customer data, losing users’ trust. “We have a responsibility to protect your data, and if we can’t do that, we don’t deserve to serve you,” Zuckerberg wrote in a post on his personal Facebook page after the scandal. In addition to the $5 billion settlement with the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at the time, the two sides reached a landmark settlement against allegations of misuse of user data. . According to the settlement reached by the FTC, when more than 500 user information is illegally stolen, Facebook is required to report it within 30 days. In connection with this case, Facebook also had to pay £500,000 (about $ 649,000) after a fine from the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). By October last year, a user group called Facebook You Owe Us in the United Kingdom, led by the law firm Milberg London and supported by former CEO Richard Lloyd, continued to sue Facebook and seek compensation. another large sum. Meanwhile, most of Facebook’s data disclosure scandals have a direct impact on users of this social network in Vietnam. No one has been able to determine how many of the 427,446 Vietnamese user accounts in the Cambridge Analytica incident, or the 41 million accounts in the newly announced case in March 2021, were affected, even appropriated and had to be stolen. spend a small amount of money to get your account back like LA One thing is for sure, users are solely responsible for the security of personal account information in accordance with the general provisions of most platforms, including Facebook. However, if personal information on platforms like Facebook is leaked without subjective reasons from the user, on the contrary due to a security incident from the platform, who will be responsible for this? Since Facebook is obligated to compensate users in the US or EU affected by security incidents on the platform, why are 69,280,000 users using this social network in Vietnam, accounting for 70 .1% of the entire population (statistics as of June 2020), of which many are victims of Facebook incidents, are automatically responsible? This question, the writer would like to leave the answer open, because currently Vietnam does not have specific regulations and sanctions that apply specifically to social networking platforms, or the object of application in this case is outside of Vietnam. the scope of control under applicable law due to not having a home office. However, it is a problem that needs to be solved in the near future…

For the first time the world has a guideline for the global health sector to reach zero emissions by 2050. This is an industry with no small climate impact, equal to 4.4% of global net emissions. Without climate action inside and outside the industry, emissions by the health sector would more than triple, to more than six gigatons per year by 2050, equivalent to annual emissions from 770 homes. coal thermal power plant.

If countries can meet the commitments in their Paris Agreement, this could cut the health sector’s projected increase in emissions by 70%, still a long way from its zero-emission target. This Roadmap Guideline identifies seven high-impact activities that could help the health sector cut emissions by 44 gigattons more over 36 years, the equivalent of keeping more than 2.7 billion barrels of oil underground each. year.

The roadmap also outlines for the health sector in different countries separate carbon reduction orbits. Countries with large greenhouse gas emissions in the health sector need to reduce their emissions fastest and most. Meanwhile, low-income and middle-income countries with less responsibility can implement climate-smart solutions to develop their health infrastructure, following a less “slope” trajectory. “For zero emissions. The guidelines also have a proposal for Vietnam’s health sector, ranking 20th out of 68 countries in the net emissions report and responsible for 2.4% of total national emissions.

The new Global Roadmap Guidelines show that 84% of the sector’s climate emissions come from fossil fuels used in health-care operations, supply chains and the broader economy. . These include coal, oil and gas used to power hospitals, medical travel, manufacturing and transporting health care products.

“We are experiencing a climate emergency at the same time,” said Josh Karliner, International Strategy and Program for Harm-Free Health and co-author of the Roadmap. health, including increased respiratory illnesses caused by fossil fuel pollution and illnesses caused by severe climatic effects such as wildfires. Not only does the health sector bear the brunt of these two crises, but ironically also contributes to them through its own emissions. Health leaders are forced to take the lead as an example and act now to reach zero emissions by 2050. This roadmap helps to chart the path in that direction, ”

The Roadmap Guidelines provide detailed data on health sector emissions from 68 countries and specific recommendations for governments, international agencies, and the private sector to achieve their carbon reduction goals and creating a better and fairer health care system. Recommendations for governments include incorporating carbon reduction in the health sector into their own National Contribution (NDC) commitments under the Paris Agreement and developing robust interagency climate policies to ensure protects public health from the impacts of climate change, and supports carbon reduction and resilience in the healthcare sector.

There are already good examples of health systems in countries adopting zero emissions schemes. Britain’s National Health System has announced a 2040 zero net emissions goal. Most recently, Argentina included reductions in healthcare carbon emissions in its climate plans. Healthcare professionals are a key voice in asking governments to be more aggressive in climate action. In May last year, 40 million people working in the health sector signed a statement asking G20 leaders to focus on public health and green recovery when planning a post-pandemic economic recovery. Most recently, Lancet research has published that ambitious climate goals can save millions of lives each year ../.

MU wants to buy Milenkovic (Image: Getty).

MU’s goal is midfielder Milenkovic of Fiorentina. Currently, the contract of the midfielder with a height of 1m95 with the Italian team is still valid until the 2022 season, but the two sides have not found a common voice in the contract extension.

According to The Sun, due to not convincing Milenkovic to renew his contract, Fiorentina is screaming the price of this player up to 38 million pounds. Meanwhile, MU wants to buy a toilet in 1997 with a cheaper price.

In addition to Milenkovic, the Old Trafford team also aimed at midfielder Ramos on the Real Madrid side. The Spanish midfielder expires his contract with Los Blancos this summer and has not found a common voice in the extension. The reason is that Real Madrid wants Ramos to reduce his salary by 10% in the new contract.

If Ramos does not renew the contract with Real Madrid, MU has the opportunity to own the midfielder for free, but in return the salary that the Red Devils pay the Spanish midfielder will be much higher than Milenkovic./.

When shopping for grapes, you should choose large grapes, large and succulent grapes. Or, you can choose clusters with sparse and few fruit. If the grape still has chalk clinging to the outside of the skin, the bunch of grapes is still fresh and delicious.

Illustration.

Appearance: Choose soft grapes, stretched skin without bruising. Do not choose waxy grapes with a strange odor or grapes with irregular, speckled skin

Fruit stalks: Choose grapes that are fresh and soft that won’t dry out.

Color: For green grapes, choose fruit with a cool, smooth, dark green skin. Black grapes choose fruit with purple black or light yellow skin.

For raisins

You choose grapes based on 4 criteria: Round seeds; dried; has bright colors and tastes good.

• Round seeds

Grapes have large, soft seeds, do not choose too flat fruits.

• About the dryness

To check if grapes have a guaranteed dryness, you can check by picking up a small handful of grapes and then holding it again. When you release your hand, if the grape leaves, it will be a delicious grape. In contrast, the grapes stick to the clusters of wet, poor quality grapes.

• Bright colors

Choose raisins made from green grapes when eaten, will be crunchy and have a beautiful, more attractive color. – About the taste

The controversial “choose 1 in 2” strategy in the past five years in China has finally become qualitative in imposing monopolistic business practices, and Alibaba has become the first “victim” to gender. This country’s official “stunned”.

Penalties of up to 18,288 billion yuan ($ 2.8 billion) issued by China’s State Market Supervision Department against Alibaba account for 4% of the group’s 2019 revenue.

The group of billionaire Jack Ma has continuously encountered bad luck in recent times.

Not merely a punishment, the meaning of the case went far beyond its original purpose. This is said to be a warning to the entire Internet industry in China, and the move also shows Beijing is accelerating its war of antitrust against big tech companies.

Alibaba: “Big trees catch the wind”

In fact, legal disputes over Alibaba’s monopoly conduct have long existed. Starting in November 2015, Alibaba’s “choose 1 in 2” policy under Jack Ma was accused of disrupting the e-commerce market and many platforms repeatedly called for a boycott of this behavior.

It was not until December 2020 that the State Market Administration of China conducted the first antitrust investigation and a final decision was made. Basically, Alibaba immediately expressed its attitude to cooperate with the authorities. “We recognize that today’s penalty is a warning and motivating us, it is a standard and concern for the industry’s development,” an Alibaba representative said in the Letter. customers and the public.

In the opinion of many market analysts, that penalty is inherently beneficial for Alibaba, because conservative policies in recent years have made them gradually lag in e-commerce. This also allows the Internet economic platform to re-focus on sustaining innovation, instead of relying on dominant positions to “protect” the market. More importantly, the warning for Alibaba will form a strong competitive advantage in the market in the future.

Other platforms started to be wary

In addition to warning Alibaba, the penalty serves as a deterrent to the entire Chinese internet industry. After all, the problem of monopoly is not limited to just one platform and with the current scale of operations, it is completely understandable that Alibaba is being targeted first.

Over the years, the platform economy has benefited from the rapid growth and popularity of the Internet. Based on the cumulative effect, the platforms quickly formed certain areas, especially e-commerce. Up to a certain stage, natural monopoly properties will arise and the larger the platform scale, the more obvious the advantage.

However, “if the platforms misuse this advantage, leading to the formation of unfair competition, the behavior is suspected to be illegal”, the punishment that the Administration Department oversees. China has proved it. Realizing the risk, many leading e-commerce platforms such as Taobao, Tmall, JD, 1688 … started to change policies to avoid becoming the next victim of the regulator.

The Internet antitrust campaign in China is accelerating

“This time Alibaba was fined and signaled that relevant departments had tightened antitrust oversight of the platform economy. I believe there will be other antitrust enforcement cases in the future, not just this one, “said a researcher at the Center for Intellectual Property Research, University of Political Science and Law.

In addition, strengthening antitrust and preventing capital expansion causing market disruption is also the Chinese government’s consistent attitude, which was specifically mentioned at the Central Economic Work Conference held. at the end of last year. However, from the development context over the years, the monopoly monitoring here still has a certain delay.

With the rapid development and changing of Internet economic platforms, law enforcement or administrative governance need to keep up with the times, forcing the Chinese authorities to speed up the antitrust war. This is expected to create fair competition and maintain standardized market vitality in the future.
