										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Besides Highway 1, from Ho Chi Minh City to Phan Thiet and Phan Rang, you can follow coastal routes with less traffic, more beautiful scenes.</strong><br />
<span id="more-11394"></span> Located in a radius of 300-400 km from Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Thuan and Ninh Thuan are two popular destinations for 3-4 day trips. At the end of April and early May, this area has dry and sunny weather, so cars are a suitable means of transport to explore the two provinces of the South Central Coast.</p>
<p> <img fifu-featured="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_04_29_119_38679780/623a3fdc1e9ef7c0ae8f.jpg" width="625" height="468"> <em> The coastal road in Ninh Thuan and Binh Thuan has many beautiful landscapes. Photo: Gemini. </em> Besides choosing places to explore and relax, you should pay more attention to the direction of travel and problems of traffic and vehicles to make the trip safe and convenient. <strong> Notable coastal roads</strong> From Ho Chi Minh City to Phan Thiet and Mui Ne, a familiar route is the Long Thanh &#8211; Dau Giay expressway and National Highway 1. This is the main road chosen by many people, easy to go but often crowded at the end. week and holidays, Tet. You can consider adding the direction of Highway 51 (Ba Ria &#8211; Vung Tau) and Highway 55 to reach La Gi (Binh Thuan). From La Gi, travel about 30 km to reach Ke Ga cape, which has the oldest lighthouse in Vietnam. This is an interesting but little-noticed destination in Binh Thuan. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_04_29_119_38679780/892fd6c9f78b1ed5479a.jpg" width="625" height="349"> <em> Exploring along the coast of Vietnam in Binh Thuan, Ninh Thuan is one of the journey worth trying. </em> From Ke Ga lighthouse, going about 50 km further along the provincial road next to the sea will come to Phan Thiet. The limitation of this road is not too spacious, but next to the sea, the scenery is not too prominent. In return, traffic density is sparse and road conditions are good enough to move freely. From Phan Thiet and Mui Ne, the road chosen by most tourists facing Ninh Thuan is Bau Trang. This is considered one of the most beautiful coastal roads in Vietnam, one side is the sand hill and the other is the blue sea. Going to the end of Bau Trang street, you should go to Highway 1 to go straight to Ca Na beach, bordering Binh Thuan and Ninh Thuan. This section of road is open and wide, traveling comfortably, so you can consider bypassing the section of provincial road DT716 running along the coast to save time. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_04_29_119_38679780/8efcc31ae2580b065249.jpg" width="625" height="833"> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_04_29_119_38679780/00a54c436d01845fdd10.jpg" width="625" height="416"> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_04_29_119_38679780/73853c631d21f47fad30.jpg" width="625" height="468"> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_04_29_119_38679780/d5dd9b3bba7953270a68.jpg" width="625" height="833"> <em> The weather in early May in the South Central Coast is dry and sunny. Photo: Gemini, Uyen Le.</em> Just into Ninh Thuan, you should turn right from Highway 1 onto Ninh Thuan Coastal Road. The first section is the salt-drying beaches of Ca Na lagoon, followed by the short pass of the seabark and the end of the road will reach the Mui Dinh lighthouse. Continue to the North to run across the newly built wind power area along Phan Rang Bay. Compared to taking Highway 1, this direction is farther but it will definitely be more interesting. In addition to the option of resting at Phan Rang &#8211; Thap Cham, you can go further to Vinh Hy Bay, one of the must-go places when traveling to the South Central Coast. The section DT702 from Ninh Thuan center to Vinh Hy bay, passing Nui Chua National Park with a part of going to the coast, will surely leave many memorable impressions for the tourism itinerary in Ninh Thuan. In addition to the places mentioned above, to Binh Thuan and Ninh Thuan, you can find some outstanding attractions such as Mui Ne fishing village, White sand hill, Co Thach beach, Dam Nai wind power, Po Klong Garai Cham tower, Binh Hung island &#8230; <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_04_29_119_38679780/ba8230071045f91ba054.jpg" width="625" height="416"> <em> Mui Ne is one of the famous resorts in Binh Thuan. Photo: Duy Hieu. </em> <strong> Note when moving</strong> There will be a few notes for drivers who have never passed through these exploratory routes. The first is to choose the right direction to travel with the sightseeing and dining plan to save time and avoid unnecessary detours. If the driver is unfamiliar with the road, he should pay attention to the direction and observe the signs so as not to go in the wrong direction. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_04_29_119_38679780/da8eab688a2a63743a3b.jpg" width="625" height="416"> The common point of most coastal roads in the South Central Coast is that it is not too spacious, usually with only one lane on each side. Therefore, drivers need to keep a suitable speed and pay close attention, especially when passing through residential areas or a secluded section with many corners, obscuring the view. Avoid being subjective when you see the road is clear and empty but want speed. Besides, before going far, the driver needs to check the overview to make sure the car is in good condition, able to operate stably and safely. The main items to check are lubricants, coolant, chassis, lights, tire pressure &#8230;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Facing the situation of illegal entry on the southwest border line, potentially high risk of spreading Covid-19, localities gather all resources, tighten control and manage the border area, ready to respond. deal with all situations</strong><br />
<span id="more-8839"></span> These days, along the border line bordering Cambodia in the provinces of Kien Giang, An Giang, Dong Thap, Long An, &#8230; Covid-19 is everywhere. There, the soldiers take turns guarding, controlling every crossroads to prevent people from entering illegally.</p>
<p> <strong> Strengthen force for hot spots</strong> On the An Giang border line about 100 km long, the Long Binh Border Gate area (An Phu district) managed by Long Binh Border Guard Station is a hot spot for illegal entry. Because this section of the border crossing this border gate is adjacent to the river, people living along the two river banks can cross at any time. Meanwhile, on the other side of the border, there are many casino hotels, attracting a large number of players, so there is a high risk of spreading the disease if these people deliberately flee to Vietnam. Senior Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Hoai Linh, Politician of the Long Binh Border Guard Fort, said the unit manages more than 15 km of the border crossing 2 communes of Khanh An, Khanh Binh and Long Binh town of An Phu district. Currently, the unit has set up 20 groups and posts along the border to both prevent the Covid-19 epidemic and prevent people entering illegally and smuggling. &#8220;Due to the specificity of the locality having a border on the river, the patrol and control work has many difficulties, the ships are parked close to each other, obscuring the view. Particularly more than 4 km on the road, the houses and gardens. Densely planted fruit trees also create opportunities for subjects to take advantage of the night to illegally enter or hide. raft back and forth, as well as tightening open paths to prevent anyone from crossing the border illegally &#8220;- Colonel Linh said. <img fifu-featured="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_04_26_15_38637320/f0ffc653e111084f5100.jpg" width="625" height="468"> <em> Soldiers at the Border Guard at Long Binh border gate with local militia patrolling and controlling the border area Photo: THOTOT</em> Receiving us at the border area of ​​Tan Chau town (An Giang province), Senior Lieutenant Colonel Hoang Van Dang, Politician of Vinh Xuong International Border Guard Station, said that this post manages the upper border line 2, 2 km, of which about 700 m is river way. On this route, in the landmark 241 area, there are 68 households living, if you do not watch carefully, it will be easy for people and people to escape and enter. Therefore, from 10 fixed posts, now on the whole route increased to 13 posts, along with 4 teams to control the flow on the river. According to the leader of Vinh Xuong International Border Guard Station, the unit has just been strengthened over 30 border guards from the provinces of Ba Ria &#8211; Vung Tau, Soc Trang, Phu Yen, Hai Phong. With the newly strengthened army, the unit has more than 90 soldiers, along with about 40 officers and soldiers of the police and militia participating at the posts. <strong> Not subjective, neglect</strong> According to the Dong Thap Border Guard Command, in the past week, the unit discovered 12 cases of illegal entry, 17 cases of entry without proper procedures. In addition to handling administrative violations, these cases were put into central isolation in accordance with regulations. Mr. Doan Tan Buu, Vice Chairman of Dong Thap Provincial People&#8217;s Committee, affirmed that the province continues to concentrate all resources, tighten control, manage the border area, ready to respond to any situation. At the same time, direct the units to absolutely not be subjective and neglectful in Covid-19 epidemic prevention, especially while the epidemic is complicated, the risk of pathogens entering from the border area. very high. In recent days, border forces stationed in Phu Quoc city, Kien Giang province have prevented dozens of illegal immigration and immigration by sea, quarantined hundreds of people, prosecuted and arrested many people. head statue. All persons who entered and entered illegally admitted that the outbreak of Covid-19 in Cambodia should try to return home to escape the epidemic. Senior Lieutenant Colonel Su Vinh Thong, Commander of the Command Board of the Border Guard at Duong Dong Port (Phu Quoc City), emphasized his determination to control illegal immigration. The commanding board regularly surveyed key positions, increased patrol and control 24/24, encouraged patrol forces so that the soldiers would raise their guard, especially at night &#8230; At the same time, coordinated with the authorities in the city to thoroughly handle suspect objects when entering and leaving illegally in Phu Quoc City. Facing the complicated situation of illegal entry, potentially high risks of epidemics entering our country, the People&#8217;s Committee of Phu Quoc City directed the People&#8217;s Committees of communes and wards in the city to coordinate with the police and the army. border line of propaganda for prevention of epidemic Covid-19. When people discover a suspicious person entering Phu Quoc, they immediately report to the authorities to promptly prevent, quarantine, and avoid spreading Covid-19 in the community, especially on the occasion of the 30th- 4 and 1-5 to come. <strong> 33,000 households committed</strong> Colonel Nguyen Thuong Le, Commander of the An Giang Border Guard, said that the current situation of Covid-19 in Cambodia is complicated, so many Cambodian overseas Vietnamese are trying to return to Vietnam. Therefore, the Provincial Border Guard Command considers the prevention of the Covid-19 epidemic a key political and urgent task. The key to preventing epidemics from entering across borders is to detect, prevent and prevent illegal entry and exit. In addition to not assisting and transporting people in Cambodia or illegally returning from epidemic areas, people in border areas should not voluntarily cross the border without permission of the competent authority. Currently, more than 33,000 households living along the border line across the province have signed commitments to take measures to prevent the Covid-19 epidemic, as well as not to violate the law on illegal immigration and other crimes. offense. <strong> COMPANION UNIT</strong> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_04_26_15_38637320/3c55e249cf0b26557f1a.jpg" width="625" height="899"></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>A giant ship ran aground, the engine of global commerce choked. Without too much explanation, one can imagine the &#8216;phobia&#8217; nature of the Suez Canal.</strong><br />
<span id="more-5814"></span> However, the Ever Given ship&#8217;s trauma raises a question: If such an unexpected incident happened again, could the world still have to wait for a successful rescue operation?</p>
<p> <strong> West Bank, and… Arctic Ocean</strong> One thing is easy to see: When the Egyptian dredgers devote themselves to &#8220;working day and night&#8221; to bring that 400m long and 220,000-ton ship back into the ocean, they don&#8217;t just forget to sleep. because the Suez Canal is one of the country&#8217;s greatest pride, not only because there is $ 9 billion of cargo stuck every day, but because the circulation of boats on the Suez Canal is closely related. to their own piece of rice. As Eslam Negm &#8211; an Egyptian sailor involved in dredging and rescue &#8211; shared: &#8220;We &#8211; that is the majority of Egyptians &#8211; live off this canal&#8221;. From there, no need for accurate data, anyone can imagine the huge profits that this artery maritime route brings. And therefore, it should not be surprising, given the immediate alternatives to the Suez Canal (or at least the worst case scenario) proposed in the vehicles. international mass news. First is Israel. According to The Arab Weekly on March 30, 2021, the congestion of the Suez Canal prompted discussion of alternatives to the Suez Canal &#8211; including Israel&#8217;s Ben Gurion Canal project linking the Red Sea. with the Mediterranean (also known as the Israel Canal) &#8211; come alive. The Israelis see this route as a competitor to the Suez Canal. Tel Aviv intends to turn the Israeli canal into a multifaceted project, such as building small towns, hotels, restaurants and nightclubs around the waterway. <img fifu-featured="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_04_19_99_38569602/0a052ed20a90e3ceba81.jpg" width="625" height="351"> <em> Outline of the Israeli canal project.</em> Before that, on March 25, Business Insider (USA) announced the content of a secret memo written in 1963, which was declassified in 1996. Accordingly, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory of America used to study a project using nuclear explosions to dig a 160-mile (257 km) canal across the Negev desert in Israel, connecting the Mediterranean with the Gulf of Aqaba in the Red Sea (Red Sea). Historian Alex Wellerstein &#8211; who also mentioned that profile on his personal social networking site Twitter &#8211; thinks this is a model option. However, in 1967, when the Arab-Israeli war broke out, the Suez Canal had to be closed for eight years, no one said anything about the Israeli canal. That is not difficult to understand, because in the 60s of the last century, trade activities as well as the volume of goods and especially the interdependence of all factors are not rich and diverse. form, development, complexity &#8230; as present &#8211; 21st century. The problem is: Because of the implications of nuclear radiation, there is no guarantee that neighboring (and still skeptical or hostile) Muslim Arab countries will allow Israel to redeploy the mining project. Ben Gurion channel. Meanwhile, when 380 ships were waiting at the Suez Canal, Russia announced: Bringing the project of the Northern maritime route along the North North Ocean connecting the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, and committed Russia will ensure the safety of this new traffic route, as well as ensure that transportation costs will be cheaper. This sea route shortens 40% of the journey from China to Egypt to Europe, and the journey time is less than 15 days. Due to climate change, the amount of floating ice on the above line is less and less, the travel will be easier and easier. The Russian side pledged to let the icebreaker come to save any merchant who got caught in the ice on the way. Russia alone plans to use this maritime route to export its oil and gas. Those are the inevitable movements stemming from the fact, when everyone has seen how vulnerable the modern global supply chain is. That fact makes any country have conditions to prepare a backup plan, at the same time looking for opportunities to startle on the logistic &#8220;piece of cake&#8221;. <strong> Eternal aura</strong> However, we can believe that every Suez Canal project may not be of reference value, but will never achieve its goal of completely replacing the 193.3 long sea journey. km, connecting the Hong Hai with the Mediterranean. Just as the Panama Canal passing through Central America connecting the Atlantic with the Pacific, history and reality give the Suez Canal an incomparable position, by any competitor. Compared with the northern maritime route that Russia is planning to deploy, the absolute advantage of the Suez Canal is not not afraid of freezing in winter, but &#8230; near the &#8220;oil navel&#8221; of the planet. The position on the European &#8211; Asia &#8211; African junction of the Suez Canal is also extremely important, when North Africa &#8211; Middle East has never been a &#8220;hot spot&#8221;, never a place in the Middle East. The world&#8217;s leading power mind competes for influence on the global geopolitical map. Above all, the Mediterranean is the most important commercial center (if not the most important commercial center) of humankind since ancient times, also the site of a series of ancient civilizations. . <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_04_19_99_38569602/bd3a9bedbfaf56f10fbe.jpg" width="625" height="220"> <em> 19,000 ships pass through the Suez Canal each year</em> Israel may still proceed with the digging of the Ben Gurion Canal. However, &#8220;human peace&#8221; will be the biggest obstacle facing the Jewish state. On March 29, when Egyptian President El Sisi announced: &#8220;Egypt has succeeded in ending the crisis of the ship stranded in the Suez Canal, and bringing everything back to normal. This is all about it.&#8221; the world is reassured about the transportation of goods and their needs through this lifeline &#8220;, it can be said that he has made all the friendly Muslim Arab states reassured to&#8221; ignore them. &#8220;with every other alternative, especially the idea of ​​using another canal to benefit Israel. Old habits and relationships, whatever you say, always play a core role, even in terms of interests. Of course, Egypt would have to do much better than its part, to make sure as much as possible that an incident like the Ever Given ship ran aground &#8211; that is, the global supply chain was interrupted by a very windy night. But, of course, the era when famous maritime restaurants such as Vasco da Gama, Bartholomeus Diaz or Ferdinand Magenllan had to go around the Cape of Good Hope in the southern end of Africa to reach India was also far in the past. . Mankind will not return to those days, but it is not necessary to have another way, after more than 100 years familiar with the Suez winds &#8230; * Every year, the Suez Canal brings Egypt an average profit of about $ 6 billion, with about 19,000 ships passing, carrying goods equivalent to 10% of the total global trade turnover. In 2020, under the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and in the paralysis of the global trade machine, this figure will still reach USD 5.61 billion. * Since digging canals by traditional methods will be extremely expensive, the Americans are expected to use the Peaceful Nuclear Explosions (Pneums) method. This is a viable option, because this nearly 160-mile canal, 130 miles of uninhabited desert, could have nuclear detonation. According to calculations, to dig each mile of the canal, it is necessary to detonate 4 nuclear devices (temporarily called the atomic bomb) of the size of 2 million tons of TNT. So a total of 520 atomic bombs or 1.04 billion tons of TNT need to be detonated to dig this canal.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>A Japanese-owned ship, operated from Taiwan, licensed in Panama, operated by a German company responsible for the machinery, transports cargo from mainland China to a port in the Netherlands. , then got trapped in a canal under Egyptian sovereignty. What do you see in the incident when the Ever Given super-ship stuck in the Suez Canal, the super-ship was in the top 1% of the world&#8217;s largest ships, 400 meters long, 59 meters wide, which if erect, taller than the Eiffel ?</strong><br />
<span id="more-589"></span> </p>
<p>Comedian Jimmy Kimmel relates it to an artery blockage that caused capitalism&#8217;s heart attack. An association could not be more relevant. Ever Given gets stuck, but that&#8217;s not just its own business. Nearly 400 other ships that wanted to cross Suez were also stuck, causing $ 9.6 billion in trade value to stall.</p>
<p>Obviously no ships were sunk and the cargo will arrive sooner or later but they are slow. Slowly, that&#8217;s how capitalism has changed man&#8217;s notion of time. If you asked someone who lived in the 17th century about a timetable, they would wonder what the hell you were asking about. Until the 18th century, people just invented a timetable to manage train times. But, it was not until the late 19th and early 20th centuries that industrialists had to optimize it and bring it into economics as an indicator of efficiency. That is, it was only when the capitalists appeared that the expression &#8220;time is money&#8221; was born.</p>
<p><img fifu-featured="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_04_15_99_38531528/8f81961fbc5d55030c4c.jpg" width="625" height="416"></p>
<p><em> The image of the pitiful little bulldozer is rescuing the Ever Given super ship into a photo-processing phenomenon on social networks for many days. </em></p>
<p>Not only that. The Ever Given ship stuck for 6 days in the Suez Canal, Egypt, causing the country to lose $ 12-14 million per day. 6 days seems to be a very special time for Egyptians. In 1967, the Israeli army also landed in Egypt to wage a six-day war over the Arab coalition and as a result Israel then took control of the Gaza Strip, east of Jerusale, the Sinai peninsula, the west bank and Golan Heights.</p>
<p>In retaliation, Egypt closed the Suez Canal and reopened it in 1975. That coincidence is a sign that, if we look closely, the story of the incident in Suez might suggest more.</p>
<p>And, that&#8217;s right. Since its inception, Suez has always been a mirror to the world, even if we want to, we can see very clearly the many stages of human history over the past 150 years, only through the lens of Suez: from the owner. colonialism in Africa, to the Cold War and then globalization.</p>
<p>In the mid-19th century, a French diplomat proposed to invest in Egypt building a canal connecting the Mediterranean with the Red Sea, and the creation of that artery was also the beginning of a dark chapter of Africa, when the continent began to be torn apart by Europe. Just before Suez&#8217;s inauguration, Khedive (Viceroy) of Egypt defaulted and was forced to sell part of the ownership of the Suez Canal to England &#8211; so a colonial dispute broke out between England and France, culminating is the Fashoda event, where the British won Egypt and the French kept only Morocco. So, from the outset, that canal has been a metaphor for a change in power structure.</p>
<p>However, the troubled political situation in Egypt led the British press to coined the term &#8220;Egyptian question&#8221; as a way of expressing doubt and fear that the occupation of the Suez Canal would pose a threat. Castle. Little is said about, that the formation of the Suez Canal led to the creation of a gothic literary movement about the supernatural forces of the rising ancient Egyptian civilization to destroy the enemy. Even Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the immortal series of Sherlock Holmes, could not stand out from the trend and he has a short story &#8220;Lot No.249&#8221; revolving around an Egyptologist who brings back so many antiques. You should get revenge by the zombies.</p>
<p>And, the story of these ancient curses &#8220;can be read as a symbol of both a desire for power to fully hold the Suez Canal and the fear of losing it,&#8221; as scholar Ailise Bulfin in Trinity College wrote in an essay.</p>
<p>It was the middle of the 19th century. Also until the middle of the 20th century, this time everything changed after 2 world wars. Colonialism is coming to the conclusion of many colonial countries&#8217; struggle for national liberation and a newly formed context: the Cold War. The historic arena now belonged to the Soviet and American powers, a battle that Hopkins University&#8217;s foreign relations professor Michael Mandelbaum likened to a sumo fight, in which two fat brothers worshiped. and stomped his feet but barely actually touched each other. With unmatched value, the Suez Canal is of course indispensable for a role on this sumo ring.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_04_15_99_38531528/3a9d25030f41e61fbf50.jpg" width="625" height="416"></p>
<p><em>The British Air Force prepared to attack Egypt during the Suez Crisis of 1956. </em></p>
<p>On October 29, 1956, the British &#8211; French &#8211; Israeli coalition attacked Egypt after its decision to nationalize the Suez Canal, opening the &#8220;Suez Crisis&#8221;. And, like all events in the world at the time, it was actually still a matter between the US and the Soviet Union, though they might not &#8220;show up&#8221; directly. Why does the Egyptian government want to nationalize Suez? It is in response to the US unwillingness to fund the construction of the Aswan Dam on the Nile. And who is willing to lend Egypt $ 1.12 billion to implement this project? Who else but the Soviet Union.</p>
<p>What was even more interesting, however, was that the United States did not want to attack Egypt. Therefore, President Eisenhower&#8217;s government has pressured allied countries to leave, with Britain alone, Eisenhower threatened to sell bonds in pounds, which would cause immeasurable damage. for UK finance. Frightened, Britain withdrew its troops and suffered a dull face. Historians today conclude that the Suez Crisis &#8220;marked the end of the UK&#8217;s role as one of the great powers in the world&#8221; and that the demise of old empires like Britain or France only caused The dichotomy between the US and the Soviet Union became more solid.</p>
<p>Then after a few decades, when the walls fell, the Cold War was finally in the past. What defeated it, replaced it, was globalization, according to author Thomas L. Friedman in &#8220;The Lexus and the Olive Fishing&#8221;. Friedman&#8217;s famous book was first published in 1999 but up to now, it is still accurate. We are still living in the era of globalization, globalization becomes more and more apparent in every corner of our lives.</p>
<p>And, just in time when the new power structure is going into smooth operation, the Ever Given ship&#8217;s trauma on the Suez Canal reveals to us the fragility of the global supply chain. In his book, Friedman makes a statement: “The greatest threats to globalization originate in itself. This system has the potential to destroy itself ”. Among the &#8220;self-destructive potentials&#8221; mentioned by Friedman, one comes from &#8220;too tight connection&#8221;.</p>
<p>Only one ship, but accounts for more than 13% of all cargo that goes through the sea. Just one ship, can cause total damage of about 400 million USD per hour and 10 billion USD per day. And, no country can say this incident has no effect on us, just that the effect will come soon or a little later. It was an incident no one ever thought could happen, but it still happens. And, the whole world could suffer just because of the negligence of a handful of people. The weakness of globalization lies in that. And this time, will the Suez Canal herald a structural change in the world? Some experts say that, most likely, the Suez incident will promote the transport of knowledge and technology, instead of the physical cargo. Let&#8217;s wait and see.</p>
<p>But, also does not rule out this possibility, a possibility that has been mixed with the Egyptians in recent days. The number is that before Ever Given was trapped, Egypt was moving 22 mummies to the new museum and because of the &#8220;cemetery of the tombs&#8221;, the mummies of the Pharaohs were cradling a curse that caused bad luck to the world. It sounds nonsense, but it shouldn&#8217;t be taken literally. In fact, the curse of the Pharaohs is the &#8220;olive tree&#8221; described by Friedman: it is a symbol of the past, of identity, of tradition, which is grappling with the &#8220;lexus&#8221; &#8211; that is development, integration, industrialization, which is represented by the modern Ever Given supership.</p>
<p>The only thing we can be sure of is that globalization has some small problems, but if not fixed in time, it can have a big impact. Anyway, in ancient times terrible changes in history began with the release of screws.</p>
