										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>JiMu News Client reported on June 15th. On June 14, the video of thousands of teachers and students from Northwest A&amp;F University harvesting wheat in the field was circulated on the Internet. While public opinion affirmed the combination of the school&#8217;s theory and practice, some netizens questioned the school&#8217;s &#8220;showing&#8221; and criticized some students for not understanding the common sense of wheat harvesting and &#8220;uprooting&#8221;. In response to this, the school responded to Jimu News that this method of harvesting wheat is for breeding needs, and some netizens have misunderstood.</strong></p>

<p> Netizens questioned the screenshot</p>
<p>On June 14, teachers and students of Northwest A&amp;F University in Yangling Demonstration Zone, Shaanxi, harvested wheat in the field. It is reported that 3391 freshman students from 22 majors of the school will all go to the city to participate.

<p>Regarding the school organizing students to participate in the harvesting of wheat, most netizens agree with the school’s teaching methods and praise the combination of professional knowledge and practice. But at the same time, some netizens questioned the school&#8217;s suspicion of making a show, thinking that mechanical harvesting is now very convenient and manual harvesting is not necessary. In addition, in the video, some students did not use sickles to harvest wheat, but &#8220;uprooted&#8221;. Some netizens criticized them for not understanding agricultural knowledge.</p>
<p>On the morning of June 15, a reporter from Jimu News contacted the Propaganda Department of Northwest A&amp;F University. <strong> A staff member responded that the wheat harvesting was carried out in the test field, so the machine could not be used. &#8220;Some netizens are not very familiar with the process of wheat breeding, so they have misunderstood. The uprooting of wheat is to observe the root system of wheat, and to measure the stalk height and ear quantity of wheat for scientific control experiments.&#8221; The staff member introduced.</strong></p>
<p>A staff member of the Office of the School of Agriculture of the school said that the annual &#8220;three summer&#8221; wheat harvesting work is the school’s tradition, and the participants are all freshmen of the school. They are mainly responsible for harvesting, threshing, seed selection, etc. Related work.</p>
<p>Teacher Zhang, a freshman student counselor of the College of Agriculture, told JiMu News that their school students have &#8220;three trainings&#8221;, namely &#8220;work training, agricultural training and military training&#8221;. The &#8220;three summers&#8221; wheat harvesting work is one of the three trainings &#8220;agricultural training.&#8221; Content. Teacher Zhang also introduced that this year’s agricultural training lasts for more than ten days, starting on June 7 and ending on June 18. Each student takes turns to participate in half a day.</p>
<p>Zhang Zijun, a freshman who participated in agricultural training last week, told reporters that he was mainly responsible for threshing in this agricultural training course. He had also participated in similar social practice activities before. By participating in agricultural training courses, he could feel the importance of combining theory and practice. .</p>
<p>Jimu News reporter inquired and learned that the predecessor of Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University was the National Northwest Agriculture and Forestry College established in 1934. It is the earliest higher agricultural and forestry education institution in the Northwest region, and it is also directly under the Ministry of Education and is the focus of the original &#8220;985 Project&#8221; and &#8220;211 Project&#8221;. Construction of colleges and universities, the first batch of national &#8220;world-class universities and first-class disciplines&#8221; construction colleges and universities.</p>
<p>The school has cultivated the world&#8217;s largest fine wheat variety &#8220;Bi Ma No. 1&#8221; with the largest cumulative promotion area, the distant hybrid wheat variety &#8220;Xiaoyan No. 6&#8221; that has long led the replacement of wheat varieties in my country, and my country&#8217;s independent cultivation and promotion area of ​​the largest fine wheat variety The direct economic benefits of popularization and transformation of important scientific and technological achievements such as the apple variety &#8220;Qin Guan&#8221; have exceeded 300 billion yuan.</p>

<p> Reporter | An Jing Reporter | An Jing The establishment of NATO in 1949 coincided with the beginning of the Cold War. The target of the military alliance was the Soviet Union and Russia thereafter. The NATO Communiqué never mentioned China. For the first time, NATO mentioned in the summit document that China is the 2019 London summit. There was a sentence in the London Declaration at that time that simply mentioned China, saying that China&#8217;s increased influence provided NATO with opportunities and challenges. But after the summit on June 14 this year, NATO included China and Russia in the communiqué for the first time as a &#8220;security challenge&#8221;, saying that &#8220;China poses a systemic challenge to the international order.&#8221; In response to this, the &#8220;Reference News&#8221; published an article that history has proven and will continue to prove that China&#8217;s rise is conducive to the peace and stability of the international community and does not pose a threat to the international community at all. In fact, the world today faces many real threats and challenges. The new crown pneumonia epidemic is still raging around the world, the global economy is sluggish, the recovery is weak, and global challenges such as climate change are becoming increasingly prominent. All of them urgently need to be addressed by the international community. The NATO summit continued the tone of US President Biden&#8217;s European tour of advocating containment of China. The spokesperson of the Chinese mission to the European Union pointed out that the China-related content in the NATO Communiqué is a continuation of the Cold War mentality and the political psychology of the group. <img decoding="async" src="http://p2.itc.cn/q_70/images03/20210615/a9ba8051f2954d7a873949faaff63aa1.jpeg"> &#8220;Systemic Challenges&#8221;</p>
<p>On the 14th, Biden participated in the first NATO summit since becoming the US president in Brussels. On the same day, the leaders of 30 NATO member states signed the communiqué.</p>
<p>In this 14,000-word communiqué, the word &#8220;Russia&#8221; appeared 63 times and &#8220;China&#8221; appeared 10 times.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://p9.itc.cn/q_70/images03/20210615/460a587d15b541a5a35c35ebbd3e8750.jpeg"></p>
<p>Communiqué of the Brussels Summit.Image source: NATO official website</p>
<p>The first two articles of the communiqué reiterated the meaning of NATO as usual, and the third article mentioned China.</p>
<p>Article 3 states that NATO member states are currently facing various threats, systemic competition and &#8220;security challenges&#8221;, and China and Russia appear together in the relevant expositions. Russia is characterized as a security &#8220;threat&#8221; to Europe and the Atlantic region; the term &#8220;threat&#8221; is not used against China, but China is regarded as a &#8220;challenge&#8221; that requires NATO member states to jointly address.</p>
<p>The latter part of the communiqué stated that China’s actions “posed a systemic challenge to the international order based on rules and areas related to alliance security”. NATO claims that China has expanded the number of nuclear weapons, is &#8220;opaque&#8221; in military modernization, has conducted military cooperation with Russia, and participated in Russia&#8217;s military exercises in Europe and the Atlantic.</p>
<p>At the same time, the communiqué stated that NATO will maintain a constructive dialogue with China in possible areas, including NATO-related matters and joint response to climate change.</p>
<p>NATO Secretary-General Stoltenberg emphasized in an interview with reporters after the summit that this is the first time that NATO has mentioned China in the communiqués and documents of the leaders&#8217; summit. He said that China is not an &#8220;rival&#8221; of NATO, but it poses a challenge to NATO&#8217;s security.</p>
<p>Stoltenberg claimed that China&#8217;s defense budget ranks second in the world. NATO can see China in Africa and the Arctic Circle. China also invests in key infrastructure of NATO countries. He said that in view of this, NATO needs to respond to China&#8217;s challenges with greater resilience and higher technology.</p>
<p>He said that responding to challenges does not mean &#8220;moving NATO to Asia&#8221;, but to strengthen the member states&#8217; own technology, cyber defense, and overall defense capabilities.</p>
<p>Regarding the NATO Communiqué and Stoltenberg’s speeches, the spokesperson of the Chinese mission to the European Union pointed out that NATO’s claim that China constitutes a so-called “systemic challenge” is a slander of China’s peaceful development and a misunderstanding of the international situation and its own role. The judgment is even more attributable to the continuation of the Cold War mentality and the political psychology of the group.</p>
<p>The spokesperson of the Chinese mission to the European Union said that in 2021, China’s defense budget will be 1.35 trillion yuan (approximately US$209 billion), with a GDP accounting for about 1.3%, which is less than NATO’s “pass line”. In contrast, the total military spending of the 30 NATO countries in 2021 is expected to be as high as 1.17 trillion US dollars, accounting for more than half of the total global military spending and 5.6 times that of China.</p>
<p>In addition, the number of nuclear weapons in China is not at the same level as that of NATO countries such as the United States. According to statistics from think tanks such as Sweden and the United States, the number of nuclear warheads in NATO member states is nearly 20 times that of China. China always scrupulously abides by not being the first to use nuclear weapons at any time and under any circumstances, and has made a clear commitment to unconditionally not use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear-weapon states and nuclear-weapon-free zones.</p>
<p>The spokesperson pointed out that China has always been committed to peaceful development and will not pose &#8220;systematic challenges&#8221; to anyone, but if anyone wants to &#8220;systematic challenges&#8221; to us, we will not remain indifferent.</p>
<p>At the same time, within European countries, there are also different views on the relationship between China and NATO.</p>
<p>After the NATO summit on Monday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that China should not over-position the security risks posed by China and should find a &#8220;balance&#8221; because China is also a partner in many areas.</p>
<p>French President Macron stated that the most pressing issue facing NATO is combating terrorism and security issues related to Russia, and that China should not be distracted by China.</p>
<p>Before attending the NATO summit, British Prime Minister Johnson reiterated that NATO does not want to enter a new cold war with China.</p>
<p>Incorporate space into collective defense</p>
<p>The most important clause of the North Atlantic Treaty is Article 5, which is the collective defense clause. This article stipulates that an armed attack on one or more contracting states shall be regarded as an attack on NATO as a whole.</p>
<p>After the United States suffered the &#8220;September 11&#8221; attack in 2001, NATO used the collective defense clause for the first time. At the NATO summit in 2017, the then-U.S. President Trump refused to express support for the collective defense clause, which caused dissatisfaction among other NATO members.</p>
<p>At this summit, Biden, who is bent on repairing relations with allies, emphasized that NATO is of vital importance to the interests of the United States, and called the collective defense clause a &#8220;sacred obligation&#8221; of the United States.</p>
<p>In addition to emphasizing the principle of collective defense, the NATO Communiqué also included cyber attacks and space attacks into the scope of collective defense.</p>
<p>The communiqué pointed out that NATO will determine whether member states can use collective defense clauses in accordance with the principle of specific handling of specific situations. NATO claims that under certain circumstances, large-scale cyber attacks can constitute &#8220;armed attacks.&#8221;</p>
<p>At the same time, the communiqué pointed out for the first time that space attacks pose a “clear challenge” to NATO’s security and threaten national security, so similar attacks may trigger collective defense clauses.</p>
<p>However, whether to use collective defense clauses against such attacks will also be determined by NATO on a case-by-case basis. At present, about 2,000 orbiting satellites have been launched around the world, and more than half of them are operated by NATO member states.</p>
<p>Prior to this, both Ukraine and Georgia expressed their strong desire to join NATO, especially Ukraine.</p>
<p>When Russia increased its troops on the eastern border of Ukraine on a large scale, Ukrainian President Zelensky repeatedly stated that joining NATO is the only way to solve the problem.</p>
<p>As far as Russia is concerned, Ukraine&#8217;s accession to NATO will directly threaten Russia&#8217;s security, which is an absolute taboo. Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned in a televised speech that Ukraine’s accession to NATO would enable NATO missiles to reach Moscow and other key areas of Russia within seven minutes.</p>
<p>Putin said that this situation is equivalent to deploying Russian missiles in Mexico or Canada. He threatened that at least half of the Ukrainian people did not want to join NATO because &#8220;they do not want to put themselves at the forefront of the war, and they do not want to be bargaining pawns or cannon fodder.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ukraine was not invited to participate in the NATO summit this week. On Monday, Zelensky called on Biden to make a clear statement on whether Ukraine can join NATO; Biden responded that whether Ukraine can join NATO &#8220;still needs to be observed.&#8221;</p>
<p>Biden will hold the first summit with Putin in Geneva on Wednesday, local time.</p>

<p>After the United States suffered the &#8220;September 11&#8221; attack in 2001, NATO used the collective defense clause for the first time. At the NATO summit in 2017, the then-U.S. President Trump refused to express support for the collective defense clause, which caused dissatisfaction among other NATO members.</p>
<p>At this summit, Biden, who is bent on repairing relations with allies, emphasized that NATO is of vital importance to the interests of the United States, and called the collective defense clause a &#8220;sacred obligation&#8221; of the United States.</p>
<p>In addition to emphasizing the principle of collective defense, the NATO Communiqué also included cyber attacks and space attacks into the scope of collective defense.</p>
<p>The communiqué pointed out that NATO will determine whether member states can use collective defense clauses in accordance with the principle of specific handling of specific situations. NATO claims that under certain circumstances, large-scale cyber attacks can constitute &#8220;armed attacks.&#8221;</p>
<p>At the same time, the communiqué pointed out for the first time that space attacks pose a “clear challenge” to NATO’s security and threaten national security, so similar attacks may trigger collective defense clauses.</p>
<p>However, whether to use collective defense clauses against such attacks will also be determined by NATO on a case-by-case basis. At present, about 2,000 orbiting satellites have been launched around the world, and more than half of them are operated by NATO member states.</p>
<p>Prior to this, both Ukraine and Georgia expressed their strong desire to join NATO, especially Ukraine.</p>
<p>When Russia increased its troops on the eastern border of Ukraine on a large scale, Ukrainian President Zelensky repeatedly stated that joining NATO is the only way to solve the problem.</p>
<p>As far as Russia is concerned, Ukraine&#8217;s accession to NATO will directly threaten Russia&#8217;s security, which is an absolute taboo. Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned in a televised speech that Ukraine’s accession to NATO would enable NATO missiles to reach Moscow and other key areas of Russia within seven minutes.</p>
<p>Putin said that this situation is equivalent to deploying Russian missiles in Mexico or Canada. He threatened that at least half of the Ukrainian people did not want to join NATO because &#8220;they do not want to put themselves at the forefront of the war, and they do not want to be bargaining pawns or cannon fodder.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ukraine was not invited to participate in the NATO summit this week. On Monday, Zelensky called on Biden to make a clear statement on whether Ukraine can join NATO; Biden responded that whether Ukraine can join NATO &#8220;still needs to be observed.&#8221;</p>
<p>Biden will hold the first summit with Putin in Geneva on Wednesday, local time.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Recently, a &#8220;Shenzhen online ride-hailing driver was canceled after waiting half an hour to pick up passengers on a long distance&#8221; incident has sparked heated discussions among netizens.</strong><br />
<span id="more-22419"></span> The online video showed that the Didi driver drove nearly 40 kilometers to reach the position of the female passenger, but the female passenger cancelled the order because he was dissatisfied that the driver did not take the initiative to help put the luggage.</p>
<p> In this regard, Didi released a relevant statement tonight. Didi restored what happened: On April 13, the Shenzhen Express driver, Master Zhang, grabbed the passenger&#8217;s express order booked through an enterprise-level account. The scheduled departure time was 8 am on the 14th.<strong> On the 14th, Master Zhang departed from home to pick up the passengers. The driving distance was 36.5 kilometers. He arrived at the passenger&#8217;s departure point at 7:39 am and waited for the passengers from 38 minutes to 8:17.</strong> The passenger cancelled the order because he was dissatisfied that the driver did not take the initiative to help carry the luggage. While waiting for passengers,<strong> Master Zhang sent multiple messages to passengers through the Didi App.8 calls made</strong> , One time at 7:55, the passenger asked the driver to drive into the hotel, one time at 7:58, the driver and the passenger negotiated to change the pick-up time to 8:10, and the other 6 calls were missed by the passengers. According to the rules of the platform, the cancellation fee of this order is 21 yuan after the passenger is late and the passenger has to pay the cancellation fee immediately and give the full amount to the driver. Regarding carrying luggage for passengers, although the platform rules do not have uniform mandatory requirements for express drivers, we hope to provide passengers with better services. We hope that the masters will take the initiative when encountering large luggage, and we recommend that passengers take the initiative when they need help Ask the driver for help. In actual situations, many driver masters do take the initiative to help when they see passengers carrying suitcases. In addition,<strong> Master Zhang mentioned that after arriving at the pick-up location, he had &#8220;argued with the security three times&#8221; while waiting for the passengers.</strong> We put ourselves here and thought about this issue from the perspective of Master Zhang. It may be that Master Zhang stayed near the hotel entrance for a long time while waiting for passengers, which affected the work of security. Here we also apologize on behalf of Master Zhang. We also call on the drivers and masters to abide by the traffic rules and not to park randomly. At the same time, we appeal to the whole society that sometimes the driver masters may temporarily occupy parking lot or roadside resources while waiting for passengers. Please give us some tolerance and convenience. <strong> We have contacted Master Zhang, and considering that Master Zhang has a long empty distance, we will provide Master Zhang with relevant subsidies.</strong> At the same time, I also talked with Master Zhang. Although we understand that Master Zhang is very wronged and angry, we did not provide good car service to passengers this time. In addition, the appointment order is not dispatched, and the driver voluntarily grabs the order. Therefore, the driver has a long distance to pick up and drive, and the passengers do not know it beforehand. At present, this incident has received widespread attention from all walks of life, and it has also caused some trouble to passengers. <strong> At present, the platform has received complaints from the driver from the passenger entering the customer service line, saying that he was insulted by the driver and asking the platform to punish the driver. We have informed and warned Master Zhang not to insult passengers or disseminate users&#8217; personal information without authorization.</strong> According to the platform rules,<strong> Later, Master Zhang will be given corresponding education and punishment.</strong> Didi emphasized that when going out, safety is the first priority and kindness is the most important thing. We call on everyone to respect each other, tolerate each other, and be convenient for others. We will also continue to work hard to prevent any side of the driver from being wronged, and continue to improve the fairness and reasonableness of the platform rules. You are also welcome to provide feedback and suggestions. <img fifu-featured="1" decoding="async" class="content-picture" src="https://inews.gtimg.com/newsapp_bt/0/10578032797/1000"></p>
