In April alone, ISS has been busy with flights up and down. On April 9, the Russian Soyuz rocket sent 1 American astronaut and 2 Russian astronauts to the ISS laboratory 420km from the Earth’s surface. Eight days later, another Soyuz rocket carried another trio of American and Russian astronauts back to Earth. On April 23, the US spacecraft SpaceX brought two more Americans, one Japanese and one French to connect to the ISS. However, such bustling scene on ISS is about to come to an end. Last week, Russia announced it would withdraw from the ISS by 2025. Despite the growing tensions between Russia and the US over the past decade, the two countries ‘space agencies continue to work closely with each other, along with 13 countries’ space agencies. According to the US Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), since 2000, ISS has welcomed 243 people from 19 countries. According to the Financial Times, Professor Anu Ojha, director of the UK National Aerospace Institute and an advisor to the European Space Agency (ESA), said: “I only hear positive things about astronauts and astronauts as they work together “. In the early years of building and assembling modules of ISS, since 1998, Russia and Western partners cooperated closely. “NASA and ESA cannot build a space station without Russian experts,” said Ojha. The Russians are masters of building modular space stations ”. The ISS station once welcomed astronauts from many countries Western countries need Russian rockets to carry materials and people to and from the ISS. This reliance increased when NASA decommissioned the space shuttle fleet in 2011 and Soyuz became the only passenger vehicle that could put astronauts in orbit. Only in 2020, NASA will begin to use the SpaceX spacecraft system of billionaire Elon Musk. For the Russian Space Agency (Roscosmos), cooperation with the West through the ISS also adds to the financial resources. NASA spent $ 3.9 billion to hire Soyuz to transport astronauts to the ISS from 2011 to 2019. Although astronaut Mark Vande Hei’s trip to the ISS in April may not be the last of an American on Russian rockets, the majority of non-Russian astronauts will travel on SpaceX or on Boeing’s Starliner, expected to go into service from 2022. During the first 15 years, the ISS crew focused on assembly and engineering work, which meant that the zero gravity work environment was only just being established. Recently, NASA astronaut Kate Rubins, who just returned to Earth in mid-April, recounted her hundreds of hours on the ISS to do biological experiments, from decoding DNA on a space station to growing human heart tissue and vegetables. . ISS’s most important area of ​​research is its attempt to understand the long-term effects of space travel on human health, in preparation for planned attempts at the Moon or travel to Mars. Other direction of cooperation For Russia, the decision to end ISS participation is expected to lead to more spatial cooperation with China. It is also part of the Kremlin’s broader pivot to Beijing. Since Western sanctions were first imposed on Moscow in connection with Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014, Russia has doubled down on its efforts to strengthen ties with China. The two countries reached agreements on defense and space cooperation while bilateral trade nearly doubled compared to 2010, reaching $ 110 billion in 2019. In 2020, Roscosmos rejected an offer from the US to join NASA-led Artemis program, aimed at bringing people to stay longer on the Moon. In March, Russia and China agreed to jointly develop a base on the Moon to “promote the peaceful discovery and use of space for all mankind” (according to a memorandum of understanding between the two. country). Roscosmos last week also said it aims to set up its own Russian space station by 2030, using modules designed like the ISS. The Interfax news agency quoted Roscosmos Director, Dmitry Rogozin, as saying: “It is likely that by 2030, we can put a space station into orbit, that will be a huge breakthrough.” On Russian television, Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov said that in the future, on the Russian space station, in addition to astronauts, there will be the participation of artificial intelligence and robotics. He stressed that Russia is ready to consider for foreign crews to visit, but definitely the Russian space station must be national. Interfax quoted an unnamed source as saying that Russia planned to spend up to $ 6 billion to put this project into operation. China will also soon introduce the module to build the China Space Station (CSS). The ship carrying this module is scheduled to take off at the end of April. This is the culmination of the project that the Chinese government launched in 1992. After this module goes into space, China plans to launch at least 10 more times. Another launcher carries the remaining modules and cargo to complete the CSS assembly by the end of 2022. The 100-ton, T-shaped CSS will consist of three main modules: the 18-meter core module, called Tianhe, and two 14.4-meter lab modules, called Wentian, that are permanently attached to the sides. of the core module. As the station’s control and control center, Tianhe can accommodate 3 astronauts with a stay of up to 6 months. CSS has volume less than 1/4 the volume of ISS. Instead, configure 3 modules based on China’s need in doing the necessary scientific experiments. The 440-ton ISS with a construction cost of $ 150 billion will end its lifespan and should be returned to Earth expected by 2025. The future of the ISS is still under negotiation after the current cooperation agreements expire. by the end of 2024. According to NASA, from a technical point of view, the ISS can operate until the end of 2028. Of course, the ISS will be upgraded if it wants to last longer, especially electrical and communication systems. .

President Joe Biden. Photo: AP Along with the participation of the US, the leaders of the countries have promoted a new commitment to reduce harmful fossil fuel pollution on the first day of the summit organized by the US. However, observers hope video conferencing between senior leaders of countries will look towards new action to deal with climate pollution and as money for the UN meeting in November in Glasgow. . The world will face “dangerous moments” but also “opportunities”, President Biden declared during the online summit to have the participation of 40 world leaders. “The signals are unmistakable. The science is undeniable. The cost of delay continues to rise,” said President Biden. Before the summit, the pledge of President Biden once spoke out to cut 52% of US fossil fuel emissions by 2030. This comes 4 years after the US withdraws from the climate change agreement. The Biden administration this week is outlining a new vision for a prosperous, clean energy America. At that time, factories will focus on the production of advanced batteries and electric cars. At the conference, Japan announced its goal of cutting emissions by 46% and South Korea said it would stop giving public funding to new coal-fired power plants. This is considered an important turning point to persuade China and other countries to limit dependence on coal fuel. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he would increase fossil fuel pollution cuts from 30% to at least 40%. In a report by insurance firm Swiss Re (Switzerland), climate change could cause up to $ 23,000 billion in damage to the agriculture, health and physical infrastructure sectors, as well as to government spending direction. Joining hands to deal with climate change The complicated developments of the epidemic make the climate change summit to be held in an online format. However, the participation of the leaders of the countries shows the joint efforts to deal with the climate change challenges taking place around the world. Chinese President Xi Jinping expressed his determination to cooperate with the US in promoting efforts to cut emissions. “Protecting the environment is about protecting productivity. Promoting a healthy environment is about promoting labor productivity”, President Xi Jinping emphasized. Russian President Vladimir Putin also offers opinions and pushes on efforts to cope with climate change. “Russia is really interested in increasing international cooperation in search of effective solutions to climate change and all other important challenges. Russia is currently the fourth country in number. Large fossil fuel smoke emissions are harmful to the climate. Observers say that efforts to cope with climate change are the driving force for leaders of all countries to push disputes and tensions aside for a good and healthy world. Fossil fuel emissions on earth increase rapidly, according to analysts. The Biden administration’s commitment will require a major effort to address current climate change issues. German Chancellor Angela Merkel is one of several allies that support a return to the United States in response to current climate change. “I am delighted to see that the United States has returned to working with us in climate politics. Because of America’s involvement and we need you to join hands in accomplishing our great goal,” Chancellor Merkel spoke out in her speech at the online summit. Pope Pop Francis is also strong: “I wish you [nước Mỹ] succeed in this great decision to meet, step forward and accompany all the way “. According to scientists, the alarming level of climate change comes from operations at coal plants, car engines and other fossil fuel use. These are reasons that exacerbate the risk of droughts, floods, storms, wildfires and other natural disasters. Leaders of small states and island nations also voiced the serious challenge of rising sea levels and increasing natural disasters. The countries are also calling for international assistance to cut emissions from world powers.

Leadership Department of Information Management and City Police. Ho Chi Minh signed the Regulation on coordination against smuggling and counterfeiting Mr. Truong Van Ba ​​- Director of Department of Information Management, City. Ho Chi Minh – recognize, TP. Ho Chi Minh City is currently the largest economic center in the country, the whole city now has more than 271,000 businesses, about 1 million business households and the flow of goods accounts for about 30% of the country. However, the City is also at the center of the trafficking, transporting of contraband goods, production and storage of counterfeit goods, poor quality goods, commercial fraud, and many new economic crimes that arise with many tricks. sophisticated, especially high-tech crimes, on the e-commerce space … increasingly popular. Mr. Truong Van Ba, said that, for a long time, the coordination between the force of intelligence management and the City Police has been regularly and effectively carried out, specifically, 85% of the cases were discovered and handled by the intelligence management. all have active participation of police forces. The signing of a coordination regulation between the two forces will increase the strength and efficiency in the fight against smuggling, trade fraud and counterfeiting. “In the situation that the information management force is too thin, each information management officer is tasked with monitoring more than 300 enterprises and about 1,000 individual business households. The signing of regulations in coordination with the police force will promote and apply the functions and duties of each unit, contributing to improving efficiency in the fight and detection of violations of the law. in economic activities in the area ”, shared Mr. Truong Van Ba. City intelligence management force. Ho Chi Minh checked and discovered a store dealing in infringing goods on models and origins in the area Major General Dinh Thanh Nhan – Deputy Director and Head of Police Investigation City Police. Ho Chi Minh City – said, in 2020 and the first 3 months of 2021, City Police Economic Police. Ho Chi Minh City discovered and handled 1,559 cases with 1674 economic criminals, the value of infringing material evidences was more than 314.4 billion VND. Through investigation and verification have prosecuted 1,121 cases with 375 defendants. However, this is just the number of criminal cases detected by the Economic Police, which have not fully and properly reflected the situation of crime and violations occurring in the city. In order to fight fiercely with this type of crime, it is necessary to have the synchronous and timely coordination of many agencies and departments, but the focus is still on Information Management, Customs, and Public Security … According to Nhan, for many years, the economic police force has actively coordinated with the City intelligence management force and discovered and handled many smuggling, commercial fraud, and counterfeit production in the area. . Only in 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, the police force of the Economic and National Administration has detected and handled 154 violations with 167 objects, the value of infringing goods is more than 145 billion VND. However, Mr. Nhan assessed that the results of the recent coordination in handling economic crimes between the Economic Police and the City intelligence management force are remarkable, but not high, not meeting the needs of business. industry and society. Because, due to the lack of regulations, the decentralization, decentralization, judgment organization, and sharing of information about contraband and counterfeit goods are still lacking fluently. After having the regulation, Mr. Nhan said, the city police department will thoroughly grasp and deploy the content of the regulations to each unit, assign and assign responsibility to each force to coordinate with Thanh city ​​in order to increase strength, professionalism and efficiency in the fight against and repel economic crimes in the area. With the strong development of science and technology, the cyber commodity trading, the theft of intellectual property rights, the technology of organizations and enterprises will be increasingly popular. . This fact also arose many complicated consequences because the subjects took advantage of the production and trading of poor quality goods in large quantity, affecting the interests of enterprises and consumers. At the conference, the parties agreed to disseminate the regulations to all officers in the unit and thoroughly implement the implementation, ensuring seriousness, timeliness and efficiency in the coming time.

Overview of the signing ceremony.

According to the cooperation content, NAPAS and VietinBank agreed to develop 2Card dual card products in accordance with the State Bank (SBV) ‘s domestic chip card technical standards in order to simplify the procedures and the delivery process. card issuance for customers, meeting diversified spending and shopping needs of customers, increasing convenience and safety during card usage.

The 2Card dual card is expected to be officially released by VietinBank in the third quarter of 2021.

Speaking at the event, Mr. Dam Hong Tien, Head of Retail Division of VietinBank, said: VietinBank is the pioneer bank cooperating with NAPAS in the development of 2Card dual card product line to bring completely new experiences and difference for domestic cardholders. The 2Card card promises to provide more payment utilities with low cost and outstanding incentives.

2Card dual card in particular and multifunctional and multi-utility payment products in general will make an important contribution to promoting non-cash payment solutions in Vietnam – a major policy of the Government during the period. present paragraph.

The cooperation in the development of 2Card cards continues to affirm the commitment of VietinBank and NAPAS in always taking customers as the center, connecting customers with the bank with innovative, reliable, easy-to-access payment products. , easy to use for everyday life.

To be sure, the two leaders will also discuss how to deal with a rising China, North Korea’s nuclear weapons programs, climate change and the Covid-19 pandemic.

Narrow a large cognitive gap

For now, the Biden administration will put an emphasis on promoting cooperation with allies, including Japan, and this is warmly welcomed by America’s allies. .

However, as China continues to rise and the US is urging its allies to assume greater responsibility in international affairs, there is a danger of a large gap between the US and Japan. awareness.

Although Japan is very concerned about China’s behavior, in recent years Tokyo has maintained a cooperative rather than an adversarial approach.

Japanese Prime Minister Suga Yoshihide (left) and US President Joe Biden (right) will discuss many ‘hot’ issues. (Source: AP)

In October 2018, former Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzo visited Beijing, and Japan signed memoranda of understanding with China on more than 50 joint projects related to infrastructure construction in third countries. .

Chinese President Xi Jinping was scheduled to make a state visit to Japan in April 2020, but the tour was subsequently postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Under Prime Minister Suga, figures of “doves” and “hawks” toward China in Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) often fought for influence.

The hawks have sought ways to postpone Xi Jinping’s state visit when it comes to Xinjiang and Hong Kong issues. LDP Secretary-General Toshihiro Nikai, a supporter of Prime Minister Suga, opposed the delay, but the visit is not expected to take place in 2021.

Although Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi urged China to resolve the Xinjiang issue, Tokyo still shied away from imposing economic sanctions on its neighbor because of its lack of legal frameworks. like that.

Therefore, the US should prepare mentally that Japan will adopt a more moderate approach towards China. Japan will certainly continue to strengthen the role and mission of the Japan Self-Defense Forces (SDF) within the framework of the Peace Constitution and the US-Japan alliance.

At the same time, Japan will also seek a clear commitment from the United States to avert Chinese military provocations, especially around the Senkaku Islands (which China also claims and calls for). Diaoyu) after China passed a new Customs Law last month, granting China’s coast guard the right to use weapons.

Analysts say the US will certainly be disappointed if it wants Japan to take significantly more aggressive military action against China. Although Japan passed a security law in 2015 that allowed the SDF to engage in limited collective defense activities, constitutional restrictions essentially forbid Japan from using force for purposes of does not involve defense.

Furthermore, the Japanese public still supports Article 9 – the peace clause – in the Rape and has little desire for the SDF to engage in combat missions that pose a risk of casualties.

Get cooperation back on track

About North Korea, both leaders advocated adopting a tough approach. Unlike his predecessor, Donald Trump, Mr. Biden is not too close to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

Mr. Suga will be anxious to express his tough stance towards North Korea in the face of domestic public opinion when asking for US assistance to repatriate Japanese citizens previously kidnapped by North Korea.

President Biden had to find a way to reassure the US-Japan-Korea trilateral partnership that Trump has ignored. The key bottleneck here, however, remains tensions between Japan and South Korea over forced labor – issues that have engulfed the enthusiasm of cooperation between the two countries even though they share a common desire to curb the chapter. North Korea’s nuclear weapons program.

Addressing climate change and fighting against the Covid-19 pandemic will be a “fertile ground” for the US-Japan to promote cooperation.

Regarding climate change, President Biden quickly brought the US back to the Paris Agreement and is scheduled to hold a climate summit with 40 world leaders from April 22-23.

Prime Minister Suga pledged that Japan will reduce carbon emissions to zero by 2050.

Since the financial institutions of the US and Japan lead the world in supporting the use of coal, under the leadership of these two countries, it is likely that the world will be promoted to transform energy, without using fuel. fossils that turn to renewable energy could eventually forge clean energy partnerships.

With regard to Covid-19, Since Japan and the US have a long history of cooperation in international health, the lack of cooperation between the two countries in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic is surprising. A lot of people fear that the Tokyo Olympics will turn into a super infectious event this pandemic.

More communication against Covid-19 did not yield much results. This includes Japan’s use of a supercomputer in an AI-based Covid-19 study, American doctors’ experience in treating Covid-19 patients, and the logistics of government vaccination. Mr. Biden.

Japan and the US could also support more multilateral efforts, such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the EU-operated Covid Tool Access Accelerator, to help stop the spread of spread globally and vaccinate people around the world before the emergence of resistant mutations.

The US-Japan summit provides an important opportunity to get bilateral cooperation back on track. However, to best strengthen cooperation and close the perception gap, these two allies should not shy away from discussions regarding thorny issues.

(according to EastAsia Forum)

Japan and Germany hold their first Diplomatic and Defense Strategic Dialogue (Dialogue 2+2) online, April 13. (Source: AP)

According to the sheet Nikkei (Japan), on April 13, Japan held its first Diplomatic and Defense Strategic Dialogue (Dialogue 2+2) with Germany online, a framework similar to that of other important European partners, Britain and France.

Clearly, Prime Minister Suga Yoshihide’s administration is increasingly urging key European partners to increase their intervention in the Indo-Pacific region, especially amid certain rifts in China’s relations with Europe recently regarding human rights democracy.

Attending the dialogue on the Japanese side were Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi and Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi, while on the German side were Foreign Minister Heiko Maas and Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer.

At the dialogue, Japanese Foreign Minister Motegi criticized China for saying that “unilateral actions to change the status quo by force have lost the premises of peace and prosperity for the international community.”

Meanwhile, Secretary Maas stated that “security cooperation is extremely important in the context of various threats in the Indo-Pacific region.”

The German side said it would send a destroyer to the Indo-Pacific region next summer and planned joint training between Japan’s Maritime Defense Force and the German Navy.

It is unusual for a country without territory in the Asia-Pacific to send warships to the region, but it is also the first time germany has shown strong colours on security issues.

This Japan-Germany 2+2 Strategic Dialogue is an example that Germany is ready to participate in the race for sovereignty in the Indo-Pacific region.

Basically the strategy of the Biden administration and its allies is to bring together a siege that restrains China, including European countries. It’s also a sign that the U.S. feels the difficulty of unilateral confrontation and arms race with China.

Other European countries are already aware of the threat from China.

Britain identified China as the biggest national threat to economic security, identified in a new security and diplomatic strategy announced in March.

Britain has left the European Union (EU) and does not want China to lead Asia, which is seen as its promising market. London has also expressed its intention to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), an agreement that plays a role in creating a siege on China.

In the current context, the similarities between the UK and Japan are to promote the free trade system in the Indo-Pacific region, while curbing China’s expansion at sea.

Among European countries, Britain has pledged to send the aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth and France will send a nuclear-powered attack submarine to the Indo-Pacific region.

According to Professor Yuichi Morii of the University of Tokyo, recent moves by Britain, France and Germany have sent a message of cooperation to Japan as countries that share a common view of values.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel once said China was a “systemal competitor” with political differences. However, China is also a huge market with a size of 1.4 billion people and is an important trading partner of Germany.

On April 7, during a phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Ms Merkel also stressed the importance of dialogue.

As European relations with China tend to cool and the region faces serious economic impact from the Covid-19 epidemic, the U.S. and Japan should work to promote diplomatic activities with European countries, in order to support maintaining a tough stance on security.
