On June 10, at the 2021 Global Smart Logistics Summit, Alibaba CTO and Cainiao Chief Technology Officer Cheng Li announced that Cainiao will invest 1,000 logistics unmanned vehicles into campuses and communities, and revealed that Alibaba Dharma Academy and Cainiao has initiated the definition and research of open road unmanned logistics trucks.

Under the background of building vehicles in the whole industry, starting from the familiar logistics scene, and then moving to the unmanned truck freight track, it is undoubtedly the embodiment of Ali’s wisdom. Moreover, Ali’s car-building ambitions are not limited to “third-party” empowerment, especially in passenger cars. Ali not only invested in Xiaopeng, but also jointly established Zhiji Auto with SAIC and Pudong New Area, placing heavy bets. The reason may be due to self-confidence in its own autonomous driving technology.

In fact, there have been companies involved in the field of unmanned trucks, whether it is domestic Tucson Future, Pony Smart, Mainline Technology, or foreign Mercedes-Benz, Google, and even Tesla. With Ali’s entry, this field will become more active. At least, with the support of Cainiao’s data and the accumulation of autonomous driving technology of Dharma Academy, Ali should also make achievements in the field of unmanned trucks.

Didi goes public in the U.S., IPO is imminent

On June 10, U.S. Eastern Time, Didi Chuxing formally submitted an IPO application to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). It plans to list on the Nasdaq Stock Market or the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “DIDI”. The amount is tentatively set at 100 million U.S. dollars.

It is understood that Didi’s IPO will raise approximately US$10 billion in funds and seek a valuation close to US$100 billion. If the listing goes well, Didi will become the largest IPO of a Chinese company in the United States since Alibaba raised $25 billion in its IPO in 2014.

From the perspective of capital, Didi seems to be a “unicorn fed by capital.” Since the day of its establishment, Didi has conducted 23 rounds of financing, with a total amount of more than 20 billion U.S. dollars. Moreover, it is Didi’s shared bicycle Qingju (valuation of US$1.9 billion), autonomous driving business (valuation of US$3.4 billion), Didi Cargo (valuation of US$2.8 billion), and Orange Heart (valuation of 1.8 billion US dollars). U.S. dollars) and other subsidiaries, the total valuation has reached nearly 10 billion U.S. dollars, not to mention its main business that occupies most of the Chinese travel market share.

In addition, Didi also defines autonomous driving, shared travel platforms, car service networks, and electric vehicles as four core strategic sectors in its prospectus. It is not difficult to see that Didi also intends to keep up with “car making”. After all, its related travel business scenarios have just solved the “mass use” demand of pure electric smart cars.

HKUST iFLYTEK has a thunderstorm, iFLYTEK’s input method is delisted, stock price plummets On June 11, iFLYTEK had a thunderstorm. Not only did the stock price drop by nearly 9.6% on that day, it was also a hot search on two microblogs called “XiTi”. The reason for this is that “the iFlytek input method was removed from the shelves of major mobile application markets” was the fuse that triggered the “thunderstorm” incident of iFlytek. Tracing back to the source, as early as May 1 this year, in the “Notice on the Illegal and Illegal Collection and Use of Personal Information by 33 Apps including Input Method” published by the National Internet Information Office, the iFLYTEK Input Method was “out of the top” and improperly collected users. Information problem. Judging from the current results, iFlytek’s rectification measures for the past one month do not seem to be in place. Therefore, the removal on June 11 is a further legal measure by the competent authority. But what is thinking is that if iFLYTEK is removed from the shelves today, will there be another XX input method coming out tomorrow? Excessive collection of user information has long become a common occurrence. But what is even more frightening is that some people are using the collected information to meticulously weave “Trumen’s world” one after another. While building information cocoon rooms, they are selling “false” beauty. But the good news is that people’s awareness of privacy is getting stronger and stronger, and the continuous removal of input methods will be a good start. Blue Origin sells its first commercial space travel ticket for $28 million On June 12, 2021, local time, an unidentified bidder bid for US$28 million (approximately RMB 180 million) to bid for Blue Origin, a space travel company owned by Amazon founder Bezos. Tickets for the first manned space flight. According to the plan previously announced by Blue Origin, the winning bidder will take the “New Shepard” (New Shepard) into space together with Bezos and his brother Mark on July 20 to embark on the first commercial tourism in space. It is reported that the first manned flight of the “New Shepard” will carry four passengers, including Bezos, Bezos’ brother, the winning bidder in this auction, and the fourth person will be announced later. On May 5 this year, Blue Origin announced the sale of a ticket for the first space cruise through an online auction. The initial bid for this ticket was 4.8 million U.S. dollars, but it exceeded 20 million U.S. dollars in the first few minutes of the auction. According to reports, the auction proceeds will be donated to Blue Origin’s education-focused non-profit organization “Future Club”, which provides support to young people interested in future science and engineering careers. BYD President Wang Chuanfu clarified “Persuade Lei Jun not to build a car” On June 13, at the 2021 China Automotive Chongqing Forum, BYD President Wang Chuanfu made a special clarification in response to his remarks three days ago that he advised Xiaomi not to build cars. Wang Chuanfu said: “There are reports that BYD persuades the founder of Xiaomi Technology Lei Jun not to build a car. This is wrong. Lei Jun and we have a very good cooperative relationship. We OEM a large number of Xiaomi phones and are strategic partners.” According to media reports, on June 10, Wang Chuanfu said at the Yabuli China Entrepreneurs Forum: “There are not many companies that have the advantage of making cars. Lei’s total investment of 100 billion yuan may be a loss of money and a waste of time.” No The young media interpreted it as “Wang Chuanfu advised Lei Jun not to build a car.” In general, this incident may not be counted as an Oolong by BYD. Moreover, the news of Lei Jun’s visits to major car companies continues, and BYD is also unable to push the partners who have been sent to the door. But the strategic direction and time-consuming thinking is indeed something that companies like Xiaomi need to do. Although, with the blessing of various large flows, the “cake” of “car building” is getting bigger and bigger, but cars must not only be built, but they must also survive. As President Wang Chuanfu said, there are three key points for making a car to “survive”. The first is to have core competitiveness; the second is to have a very precise strategy; and the third is to have a rapid decision-making mechanism. New energy vehicles are a new thing, and there are many routes, but if the route is skewed, it may suffer heavy losses. Cruise receives US$5 billion support from GM, and Waymo raises another US$2.5 billion On June 16, GM officially announced that GM Finance will provide Cruise with a $5 billion multi-year credit line to help the operation and expansion of Cruise Origin’s self-driving fleet. GM’s move is not only a further boost to autonomous driving, but also shows GM’s determination and confidence in the commercialization of Cruise. Coincidentally, the commercialization of the Cruise Dubai cooperation and the California unmanned vehicle passenger “license” is in full swing; Waymo, whose CEO and CFO have just resigned, has also begun to add weights, raising $2.5 billion in a lump sum. “Hot Money”. It is reported that Waymo’s financing news was also announced on June 16, investors including Google parent company Alphabet, Andreessen Horowitz, AutoNation, Canada Pension Plan Investment Commission and other major capital. It has to be said that Waymo’s ability to attract funds is commendable, after all, after this financing, its valuation has reached 30 billion US dollars. But the increasingly serious problem of brain drain is also becoming a shackle of Waymo. In other words, as the concept of smart car making is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the competition for talent will become more and more serious. OnePlus merged with OPPO, is it an “Oga” mobile phone or an “Oga” car? On June 16, OnePlus CEO Liu Zuohu released an internal email, announcing that OnePlus mobile phones will be fully integrated with OPPO, and OnePlus will also become an independent brand of OPPO. This is another big move since OPPO exposed the car. OnePlus and OPPO are in the same line. Although both are independent brands, from a capital perspective, both OnePlus and OPPO are controlled by Ouga Holdings, which is also the basic condition for the two to merge. It is reported that as early as August last year, news of Liu Zuohu’s return to OPPO has flowed out on the Internet. At that time, OPPO gave the response: Liu Zuohu will return as the senior vice president of Ouga Holdings, and is fully responsible for the product planning and experience of Ouga . Of course, from the mobile phone market, the integration of the two will further strengthen OPPO’s market weight in the field of smart phones. However, the organization and personnel adjustments between OPPO and OnePlus seem to be related to car manufacturing issues. OPPO CEO Chen Mingyong may intend to let Liu Zuohu participate in part of the car building work, and Liu Zuohu also recently visited Li Xiang, the founder of Ideal Auto. C-dimensional star list/Tu Datong Reasons for the list: It can provide the most powerful hybrid solid-state lidar that has been installed in mass-produced models Innovusion, established in November 2016, is headquartered in Suzhou. It is an entrepreneurial company with the nature of a supplier. Its main research areas involve lidar, autonomous driving, and smart transportation. The founders are Bao Junwei and Li Yimin, both of whom are typical engineering masters and have more than 20 years of work experience. In January of this year, the cooperation between Tudatong and NIO revealed that on NIO DAY2020, the latest NIO ET7 equipped with a lidar provided by Tudacom officially entered the stage of history. It is understood that the radar has an ultra-wide viewing angle of 120 degrees, a high resolution equivalent to 300 lines, and a maximum detectable distance of 500 meters. Taking advantage of the hot spots of ET7, in May of this year, Tu Datong completed the B round of financing, the latest valuation of 300 million US dollars, a total of 64 million US dollars in financing. This round of financing was jointly invested by Temasek, BAI Capital and Joy Capital. Old shareholders NIO Capital, Stow Capital and F-Prime also participated. 1. Founder Bao Junwei & Li Yimin Second, best practices Tudatong claims to be the world’s first 300-line high-definition ultra-long range lidar provider. Related lidar products are mainly used in smart transportation, smart high-speed, urban rail transit, and mining. In addition to the dream linkage with Weilai, Tudatong also has related cooperation with Baidu. At present, Tudatong’s image-level long-range lidar has been deployed in Baidu’s Apollo intelligent transportation city project, including Beijing, Changsha, Cangzhou and other places. It is understood that Tudatong’s lidar products mainly include: Jaguar Elite Edition (for smart cities), and Aquila lidar (Falcon architecture) carried on Weilai ET7. See the figure below for details: Three, technical route TuDatong believes that lidar is the inevitable result of the evolution of autonomous driving. Compared with mechanical rotary lidar and solid-state lidar, hybrid solid-state radar has more advantages. In addition to being smaller and lower cost than mechanical rotary lidar, it is also more realizable than pure solid-state lidar. The lower the difficulty and the stronger the certainty, the easier it is to achieve. In addition, the standard detection distance of 300 lines and 250m is the other two points that Tudatong insists on. With a resolution of less than 300 lines, the human eye will miss some important information due to the large distance between the lidar wire harness and the wire harness when looking at the picture, which may be reflected in the perception system of the autonomous vehicle. Cause a traffic accident. The standard detection distance of 250m is because when an autonomous vehicle is driving at a high speed of 120km/h, the safe distance that can be reliably sensed is at least 250m. Fourth, there is a “money” way According to Tianyan Check, since 2017, Tudatong has experienced four rounds of financing, namely seed round, A round, strategic financing and the most recent B round of financing. The latest valuation reached 300 million U.S. dollars. Among them, it is worth noting that Weilai went directly off the market and participated in Tudatong’s A round and B rounds of financing. In addition to being optimistic about the lidar industry, it is also an affirmation of Tudatong’s technical capabilities

“The great progress of science comes from brand new and bold imagination.”-Dewey

Since modern times, with the rapid development of science and technology, many “illusions” that existed in the past have become reality. Mankind has realized the dream of flying in the sky and building a city under the sea, and can also meet people thousands of miles away across space. Countless people are shocked by the power of technology. Some people have put forward bolder ideas-through the ages, many people have hoped that they can “live forever”, so can this long-cherished wish be realized with the power of science and technology? A few years ago, a richest man in the United States frozen himself for 50 years and planned to resurrect him in 2017. What is his situation now?
Liquid Nitrogen Freezing Pictures

1. The richest man in the United States, James Bedford

James Bedford was originally a physicist in a well-known American university. In addition, he was also a successful businessman. With his super economic acumen, he became the richest man in the United States 54 years ago. But as he got older, James’ physical condition became weaker, and unfortunately he later contracted kidney cancer. Regardless of whether it was then or now, cancer is almost completely equivalent to a terminal illness, and the chance of recovery is extremely small. After a long period of treatment, James’ condition still hasn’t improved, but he doesn’t want to succumb to fate, because he is still very nostalgic for this colorful world.
James Bedford

2. Cryonics technology

At this time, Robert Ettinger, who has been working on “cryonics”, approached James Bedford. He said that he could use freezing technology to freeze James’ body unharmed and wait until the future When technology develops to cure cancer, let him thaw and “resurrect”. But this technology requires a lot of money and manpower, so Robert hopes that James, who has strong assets, can participate in this experiment and become the first person in the world to be artificially refrigerated.

Robert Ettinger At first, James was skeptical of what Robert said. As a scientist, he understood that freezing a human body is an extremely complicated and difficult task, and even if he can be successfully “resurrected” in the future, he may not be able to adapt to future life. There are also problems with this technology in terms of human relations and ethics. But as James’ illness became more and more serious, he agreed to Robert’s approach in order to have “a ray of life” when the deadline was approaching. The frozen man in the film and television series

3. Plans to resurrect in 2017

After a rigorous plan, James put out a large sum of money, and plans to resurrect in 2017. When everything was ready, James finally closed his eyes in peace. At the moment he just passed away, Robert led his team to get busy. They replaced the blood in James’ body with a cryoprotectant to ensure that the blood crystals after freezing would not pierce the cells. After a series of complicated operations, James’ body was placed in a special refrigeration facility care center. Time flies, and 50 years later, it is the time for James to “resurrect”. But the result is obvious, today’s medical technology has not broken the problem of curing cancer, and how to resurrect the “frozen man” is still an unsolved mystery. Liquid nitrogen tank for freezing

4. How is it now?

Although James failed to realize his last wish to be resurrected in 2017, his family said that the property left by James was enough to support the cost of the subsequent freezing, so they will continue to spend a lot of money to preserve James’s body and make him Continue to freeze until the day when science and technology are really developed to cure cancer and resurrect the “frozen man”. Today, James is still “sleeping” in the refrigeration facility care center, and there are hundreds of people waiting for the day of “resurrection”. Cryonics Many people find it very novel after hearing the story of James Bedford. It is true that “health and longevity” is a beautiful vision for each of us, but nowadays, using cryonics technology to wait for the “resurrection” day is more like Fantastic Nights. For ordinary people, the real secret of health and longevity lies in a good attitude and regular life. Instead of pursuing the “imagination” that can be realized when you don’t know when, it’s better to live every day steadily. What do you think What?

As of June 18th, a group of professionals led by NASA Administrator Nielsen began to make a big splash on June 18th, emphasizing that the United States must always “watch China”. Therefore, the Biden administration needs to allocate more funds to NASA. The Western world has also set off a wave of “China challenging the U.S. space dominance.”

For a time, from Beijing to Washington were passively involved in a space race. Few people thought that outside of China and the United States, there would be a third challenger in low-Earth orbit. It was when it confirmed the China-Russia joint moon landing plan, and at the same time announced that it would launch the “National Orbital Space Station” project in Russia in 2025. The space game between China, the United States and Russia has thus entered an accelerated phase.

Also on June 11th, Rogozin, President of the Russian Aerospace Corporation, clearly talked about the future plan of ROSS in an interview with the country’s largest-circulation tabloid “Komsomolskaya Pravda”.

Rogozin pointed out in a straightforward manner that although Russia will still launch the “Science” capsule for the International Space Station (ISS) as planned on July 15th, to ensure that the ISS can still operate as planned until its retirement in 2030. But Russia will also end its cooperative relationship with ISS after 2026 and begin to build its “replaceable parts” space station, and launch its first core module in 2025. RIA Novosti also pointed out in a report on the 11th that Russia plans to build a “modular” low-orbit, multi-functional space station.

In fact, the Russian Aerospace Corporation’s space station plan will have some clues in February 2021. After Rogozin reported his work plan to Russian President Putin on February 11, Putin emphasized on the same day that Russia should continue to advance the manned space project in a rhythmic manner. Since this instruction was issued almost at the same time as the memorandum on the Sino-Russian lunar research station project approved by Russian Prime Minister Mishustin on February 12, the outside world once thought that the limited-funded Russian manned space project might become the future Sino-Russian project. Part of the joint moon landing project.

However, as Russia announced its withdrawal from the International Space Station on April 18, 2021, and began to display its “Diamond 2” core cabin and other equipment preserved before the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the outside world discovered that Russia, which has an independent technical foundation, did not originally Satisfied with OEM space station facilities for the United States and assisting in the transportation of astronauts, Russian astronauts and decision-makers who still have memories of the Soviet era are brewing big moves.

The ISS project, launched in 1998, has become a symbol of humiliation in the Russian aerospace industry. Because one of the cores of the ISS, the “Star” functional module was originally the core of the “Peace 2” space station during the Soviet era. After the construction of the project was completed in 1985, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, it was revised to the “Peace 1.5” program, which was used as a plan to extend the service life of the “Mir” space station. It was later modified in 1992 to include 5 space capsules. Peace 2″ plan.

However, as the United States abandoned its “Freedom” space program after 1990 and switched to purchasing and receiving Russian space supplies, after the disintegration, the Russian authorities quickly abandoned the “Peace 2” plan due to the economic situation. Russia originally planned The design for the “Peace 2” was finally integrated into the ISS.

At present, in the face of the fact that the United States owns 11 of the 15 module capsules of the ISS, Russia only owns 4 of them. After years of debate, Russia finally chose not to continue to contribute more to the US-led ISS. power. As Russia gradually determined a simple plan including core cabins, dedicated production cabins, logistics and logistics cabins, platform cabins, and commercial cabins after October 2020, the Russian Aerospace Corporation restarted the “Peaceful” program, including the “Diamond 2”. After the space capsule equipment based on the No. 2 program, the development and operation of the ROSS station became possible.

In a sense, the operation of the ROSS station may also be an important occasion for Russia to declare its space capabilities to China, the United States and European parties. When Rogozin announced at the recent space summit that Russia is discussing with France to transform the Guyana Space Center so that it can be used for manned space missions, Russia’s actions against the European Union also showed a reality, that is, low Earth orbit in the 21st century. Not only can it accommodate China and the United States, it may also accommodate Russia.

Just now, a new round of financial sanctions imposed by the United States on Russia formally came into effect. Since June 14, U.S. companies have been prohibited from buying Russian government bonds issued for the first time, and Russian government bonds issued in euros have also been included in the prohibition of buying, which was once called the “most powerful” punitive measure in the financial market.

Russia’s counterattack was also unrelenting. The Russian Ministry of Finance announced that it would change the structure of the National Wealth Fund in the next month, reducing the share of the US dollar to zero, and Russia almost completely emptied the US long-term national debt.

The timing of this round of competition between the two sides in the financial market is very sensitive. On June 16, local time, US President Biden and Russian President Putin will meet in Geneva, Switzerland for a US-Russian summit. On the eve of the summit, the capitals of the two parties have already released “ruthless words.” Therefore, the market expects that this meeting will be the fiercest political game.

The “most powerful” financial sanctions?The U.S. puts pressure on Russia again

According to CCTV News, since June 14, US financial sanctions against Russia have come into effect. The U.S. government prohibits domestic companies from buying Russian government bonds (in rubles) that are issued for the first time. Russian government bonds issued in euros are also included in the prohibition. However, U.S. companies are allowed to trade Russian government bonds on the secondary market.

So, how much impact will this punitive measure, regarded by the financial market as “the most powerful”, have on the Russian economy?

First, let’s look at the scale of Russian national debt issuance. According to the latest data from the Audit Office of the Russian Federation, as of the first quarter of 2021, Russian national debt has increased by 741.3 billion rubles (approximately RMB 64.4 billion) from the previous quarter. The total scale of Russian debt is as high as 19.7 trillion rubles (about 1.71 trillion yuan), accounting for 17% of Russia’s GDP.

At present, the government bonds of the Russian Federation held by foreign investors are about 2.7989 billion rubles, accounting for about 14% of the total size of Russian bonds, but this part of the government bonds are stocks that are normally traded in the secondary market and are not subject to the US sanctions. limit.

In addition, looking at the issuance of Russian government bonds, Gehrman Greev, President of the Russian Federal Reserve Bank, made it clear that Russia’s related bond issuance plan will be completed as scheduled. According to the Russian Ministry of Finance, starting from June 16, Russia will release its first national debt to the market, and will issue three national debts worth 500 billion rubles on the same day.

The British analyst firm Oxford Economics believes that because the United States only prohibits the purchase of Russian government bonds in the primary market, the sanctions have limited impact on the Russian government bond market, and are more symbolic. If sanctions (the United States against Russia) affect transactions in the secondary market, the threat effect will be very violent.

Faced with the entry into force of US financial sanctions, Russian Finance Minister Siluanov also strongly stated that Russian government bonds will still maintain a high demand rate and that sanctions will only cause losses to US companies.

In fact, this financial sanctions policy began in mid-April this year, when the U.S. government announced a series of measures to sanction Russia, including prohibiting U.S. companies from buying Russian initial treasury bonds, but they can buy and sell Russian treasury bonds on the secondary market. Effective from June 14, 2021.

At that time, the reasons for the sanctions given by the United States were that Russia interfered in the U.S. election, hacked the system, and a series of “hostile acts.” In addition to prohibiting U.S. companies from buying Russian government bonds, it also expelled 10 Russian diplomats. The U.S. Treasury Department Thirty-two Russian entities and individuals were sanctioned.

Fight back! Russia is going to dump the U.S. dollar and U.S. debt?

Russia has already begun to “strike back” against the US financial restrictions. On June 3, local time, Russian Finance Minister Siluanov stated at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum that the Russian Ministry of Finance will change the structure of the State Wealth Fund within one month, in which the share of the US dollar will be reduced to zero and the share of the British pound will be reduced. At 5%, the yen will remain at 5%, the euro will grow to 40%, the renminbi will grow to 30%, and gold will account for 20%.

It is reported that the Russian National Wealth Fund was established to support the Russian pension system. Its funds can also be used to make up for the budget deficit during the crisis. It has now become an important part of the Russian Federation’s budget assets.

According to data disclosed on the official website of the Russian Ministry of Finance, as of May 1 this year, the total assets of the fund reached 185.87 billion US dollars, or 13.82 trillion rubles (equivalent to RMB 1.2 trillion), accounting for 12% of Russia’s GDP.

As of early May, the fund’s liquid assets were worth approximately US$119 billion, of which one-third (approximately US$41.5 billion) were in US dollars. This means that in the next month, the Russian National Wealth Fund will substantially sell US dollars.

On February 24 this year, the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation announced that it would include the RMB and the Japanese Yen in the National Wealth Fund. The two currencies accounted for 15% and 5% of the fund’s foreign exchange structure, respectively. At the same time, the share of the US dollar and the euro both fell to 35%, while the share of the British pound remained unchanged at 10%.

Russian President Press Secretary Peskov said in response to a question about the adjustment of the investment structure of the National Wealth Fund that de-dollarization is a long-term process visible to the naked eye. Not only Russia is de-dollarizing, but many countries in the world are also doing similar things. , Because these countries are beginning to worry about the reliability of the major foreign exchange reserve currencies.

Before March 2018, the U.S. dollar has been one of the most important foreign exchange reserves of the Russian Central Bank, accounting for as high as 43%-48%. Since then, as the United States has tightened sanctions against Russian companies and citizens, in order to minimize the risk of sanctions, the Central Bank of Russia began to continuously reduce the proportion of U.S. dollars in foreign exchange reserves. As of the end of 2020, U.S. dollars and U.S. dollar assets are in Russia’s international The share of reserves has dropped to 21.2%, and the share of gold and RMB has increased to 23.3% and 12.8%.

While Russia is selling the U.S. dollar, it is also reducing its holdings of U.S. Treasury bonds in a “clearing-out” manner. According to the latest data released by the US Treasury Department, in February this year, Russia almost completely emptied long-term US Treasury bonds (only US$306 million left), and reduced its holdings of US debt by US$389 million that month, and the final position dropped to US$5.8 billion. Compared with Russia’s highest holding of US debt, the cumulative sell-off ratio reached 94%.

Biden and Putin are about to meet, how to talk?

Behind the secret rivalry between the United States and Russia may be for the upcoming summit of US-Russian leaders.

According to the official website of the White House, US President Biden will meet with Russian President Putin in Geneva, Switzerland on June 16, local time.

At this point, Biden is already in Europe and has just finished attending the G7 summit. After three days of dialogue and consultation, the leaders of the G7 announced that they have reached a certain consensus on fighting the epidemic, rebuilding the economy, trade reform, and green transformation. It will be announced in the form of a summit communiqué.

China has been mentioned many times in the G7 Communiqué, and it even touched on issues such as Xinjiang, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Subsequently, the spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in the United Kingdom said in response to reporters that the G7 Communiqué published distorted and reversed remarks on Xinjiang, Hong Kong, Taiwan and other issues, deliberately slandered China, and arbitrarily interfered in China’s internal affairs. The serious violation of the basic norms of international relations has further exposed the sinister intentions of a few countries such as the United States. We are strongly dissatisfied and firmly opposed to this.

India, which is plagued by the epidemic, is also making small calculations. The Global Times quoted foreign media reports that India may join the G7 infrastructure plan, which aims to provide a so-called “value-driven, high-standard, and transparent” partnership against China. The Belt and Road Initiative.

If the G7 summit is a closed-door game of tongue war, then the probability that the US-Russian summit on June 16 will not make Biden so easy, and the meeting between Biden and Putin will likely be The fiercest political game.

In fact, from the series of signals released by the United States and Russia before the meeting, a strong smell of gunpowder can be smelled.

On June 6, Biden’s signed article in The Washington Post stated that the United States does not seek to conflict with Russia, but will not hesitate to respond to Russia’s harmful activities in the future. When meeting with Putin, he will emphasize again The United States, Europe, and like-minded democracies support the promise of human rights and dignity.

According to CCTV News, on June 4, local time, Russian President Putin spoke at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. Speaking of the upcoming summit of Russian-US leaders, he said that Russian-US relations are at a very low level, and he will work with US President Biden to find solutions to the problems of bilateral relations, and will discuss strategic stability, arms reduction, and the new crown epidemic. And other issues.

Putin pointed out that Russia and the United States have no differences, but the United States wants to contain Russia’s development. He said that the relationship between Russia and the United States has largely become a bargaining chip for the United States to govern its internal affairs, and hopes that this situation will end at some point.

In addition to the mutual temptation of the two heads of state on the verbal level, the wrestling of military forces between the United States and Russia has also become more frequent. On June 11, the National Defense Management Center of the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that the US Navy’s “Labourn” guided-missile destroyer had entered the Black Sea and the Russian Black Sea Fleet had begun to monitor it.

On the same day, the U.S. Pentagon suddenly announced that it would allocate 150 million U.S. dollars in security assistance to Ukraine to help Ukraine maintain its territorial integrity and improve its coordination with NATO. On the Russian side, the Russian Navy held the largest military exercise after the collapse of the Soviet Union to show off its muscles.

From this point of view, the secret rivalry between the US and Russia on the financial and military levels may be to increase the weight of the negotiations at the upcoming US-Russian leadership summit.

On June 14, local time, the Russian President’s website released Putin’s interview with NBC TV in the United States.

When answering questions about Sino-Russian relations, Putin said that the Sino-Russian strategic partnership has reached the highest level in history in recent years, and the two sides have maintained a high degree of trust and cooperation in political, economic, scientific and technological fields.

Putin emphasized, “We don’t think China is a threat to us. It is a friendly country. It does not declare us an enemy like the United States.” China’s development is obvious to all. China is a large and powerful country with a population of nearly 1.5 billion. In terms of purchasing power parity, China’s economy has surpassed that of the United States. Last year, China was Europe’s largest trading partner and the United States ranked second. But China’s strength will not worry Russia. One of the reasons is that Russia’s defense capabilities are at a very high level, but the most important thing is that the nature and level of Sino-Russian relations determines that Russia will not be wary of China’s development.

Putin also pointed out on the Xinjiang issue that he himself had the opportunity to meet with Uyghur representatives during his visit to China. He heard firsthand that the people generally welcome the Chinese government’s ethnic policies and affirmed that the Chinese government has done a lot of practical things for people living in Xinjiang in the economic and cultural fields.

After a hacker attack Meat producer JBS pays ransom

Status: 10.06.2021 7:13 a.m.

The world’s largest meat company JBS has apparently paid a ransom of $ 11 million after a cyber attack by hackers. It was another incident in a series of corporate blackmail cases in the United States. The US subsidiary of the Brazilian meat processor JBS paid the equivalent of eleven million dollars in ransom after a hacker attack. The payment was made to prevent further disruption by the hackers and to restore the smooth operation of the affected locations, said the Dallas-based company. According to the US media, the payment was made in Bitcoin. According to the US government, the company had received a ransom note from a criminal organization likely based in Russia. The attack paralyzed JBS production in Australia and affected Canada and the United States.

“A difficult decision”

“This was a very difficult decision for our company and for me personally,” explained Managing Director Andre Nogueira. “However, we felt that this decision had to be made in order to avoid any potential risk to our customers.” The investigations are still ongoing, but preliminary results have suggested “that no company, customer or employee data has been compromised.”

US investigators suspect Russia is behind it

US President Joe Biden said last week that investigators had linked Russia to the JBS case. “JBS USA was in constant contact with government officials throughout the incident,” the company said. In the USA, the state and business are currently fighting a series of attacks with blackmail software known as “ransomware”. The data of the attacked systems are encrypted. The hackers demand cash payments in cryptocurrency so that they can unlock access again and not publish the data.

Ransom payment in Bitcoin

The US utility company was also last month Colonial pipeline The victim of a hacker attack with a blackmail Trojan that temporarily shut down the entire pipeline network. The US Federal Police FBI blames a hacker group called “Darkside” for the attack and later tracked down the ransom of 75 Bitcoin that Colonial had paid – at the time it was worth $ 4.4 million.

However, such a small town has been ranked as the richest town in the United States for many years, and its wealth will definitely refresh your new understanding.

Although it is more than 40 minutes away from the city center, it is only a dozen minutes away from the world’s most influential headquarters of Google, Tesla, and Facebook.

However, the people who live in suburban towns are not employees of these high-tech groups, but a large group of presidents.

More than a hundred years ago, Atherton was originally the most common agricultural town in the southern suburbs of San Francisco.

Later, with the rapid development of San Francisco, Silicon Valley gave birth to many high-tech companies that affected the world. Atherton, far away from the city center, had a quiet life and became a place where many CEOs bought real estate.

In just a few decades, Atherton’s housing prices soared like a rocket.

The most common house today is as high as 7 million U.S. dollars, and some large-scale luxury houses require more than 30 million U.S. dollars.

If it is some well-built manor, the price of more than 100 million US dollars is not surprising.

The reason why it is loved by these wealthy people is that Atherton is not far or near in distance, it can avoid the hustle and bustle of the city center, it can also provide a certain degree of privacy for the wealthy, and it can also facilitate work.

In addition, it is also a small town with investment value.

Over the past ten years, Atherton’s housing prices have risen by a minimum of about three times. If it was purchased 10 years ago, the price of a villa today is comparable to a huge windfall.

Of course, for those listed CEOs, Atherton’s real estate is just one year’s income. Living in Atherton is more of an identity in the circle.

Imagine that your neighbor is either the CEO or the chairman of a world-class company. This kind of high-level social interaction is itself a resource.

Children in public elementary schools are still descendants of high elites. In such an elite-to-elite atmosphere, the descendants educated by them will not be bad.

For example, there is an equestrian club in the town, and its membership costs hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

In daily life, rich people can take their families to ride horses, and horse races and other activities are held every year.

But most of the time, its existence is dedicated to the social services of the rich.

In fact, Atherton’s package is not perfect.

When we buy a house, we will consider supermarkets, commercial districts, subways, hospitals, parks, schools and other facilities. But except for a park and three public elementary schools, Atherton’s daily life is not convenient.

For example, if you have to drive to the city center for shopping, you have to drive more than ten minutes to a big town for meals.

Of course, the lives that we ordinary people consider are trivial matters to the rich, and naturally someone will handle such trivial matters.

For the residents of Atherton, being clean and undisturbed is what people want.

In Atherton during the day, people are often not visible on the sidewalk.

The manor houses and villas of every house are tightly fenced to avoid being snooped by strangers.

The exquisite and luxurious mansions are like small worlds. People do not disturb each other. This is the life circle of the rich.

There are about 7,000 residents living in Atherton.

Except for the aboriginals, all those luxury houses were purchased by the rich in Silicon Valley, so Atherton was also dubbed the CEO town by outsiders.

Here, meeting a CEO with tens of millions of dollars in assets is not unusual.

The gathering of the rich has made Atherton’s per capita income far ahead every year.

According to the latest calculations, Atherton’s family has an average annual income of more than 520,000 U.S. dollars, and an annual income of 500,000 U.S. dollars (approximately RMB 3.4 million) is still the “poor” at the bottom of the town.

And this is still an average. What is the annual income of those top families?

The Colonia company had to shut down the fuel pipeline after a cyber attack. Photo: AP. Leading American fuel pipeline company Colonial shut down its entire network that supplies nearly half of the fuel to the US East Coast, following a May 8 ransomware ransomware attack. Every day, the Colonial company ships 2.5 million barrels of gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and other products through a 850-kilometer pipeline connecting the eastern and southern coasts of the United States. The company has shut down systems to stop the threat after learning about the attack. According to sources, hackers are most likely a highly professional cybercrime group. And the malware used in the attack is ransomware. Ransomware is a type of malware designed to lock systems by encrypting data and taps money to regain access. This malware has become popular in the past 5 years. The Colonial Company has invited a third-party cybersecurity company to conduct an investigation and contacted law enforcement and other federal agencies to initiate an investigation. Colonial provided no further details or said how long their fuel lines would be closed. “Cyber ​​vulnerabilities have become a systemic issue,” said Ms. Algirde Pipikaite, Head of Network Strategies at the World Economic Forum’s Cyber ​​Security Center. Without measures to protect cybersecurity, attacks are occurring more often on industrial systems such as oil and gas pipelines or water treatment plants. In 2017, Colonial shut down its gas distillation and production lines during Hurricane Harvey that hit the Gulf Coast. That contributes to tight supply and price increases in gasoline in the US.

On April 20, local time, Japan convened a plenary meeting of senators, and Yoshihide Suga issued a congressional report on his previous visit to the United States.

A Japanese congressman asked Yoshihide Suga: “Will Japan follow the US military strategy towards China and intervene in the Taiwan issue?” Yoshihide Suga responded and emphasized that although the joint statement mentioned Taiwan, Japan would not. There will be considerations of military involvement in the conflict in Taiwan.

I have to say that Japan turns its face faster than it turns a book. At this time, Taiwan is probably more panicked. The Taiwan Democratic Progressive Party, which “kneeled” at the sight of the United States and Japan, never thought that there would be today.

Japan’s Taiwan issue has reversed, fearing security threats

Some analysts pointed out that Japan’s “ambiguity” attitude on the Taiwan issue is because if it clearly states its position, it will pose a threat to Japan’s own security.

According to “Multidimensional News”, the joint statement of the US-Japan summit mentioned and clarified the Taiwan issue for the first time in 52 years. This is the second mention of the Taiwan issue since 1972 after the restoration of normal diplomatic relations between China and Japan.

In front of the “big brother” of the United States, the “little brother” of Japan followed “everything China must turn against” and declared that “it is expected that those involved can peacefully resolve the Taiwan issue through direct dialogue.” The United States’ high threat to China is naturally Japan’s consistent position. To “the stability and peace of the Taiwan Strait is of great significance.”

When asked why the Taiwan issue should be mentioned in the joint statement, Yoshihide Suga said that “this is taking into account the changes in the military balance between mainland China and Taiwan and other factors.”

Right now, when Japan was asked about “Japan can provide support to the US military no matter what the situation is,” Yoshihide Suga responded that “it is difficult to generalize.”

It is hard to imagine that Japan has to be “cautious” on the seesaw that balances China and the United States to avoid stepping on thunder.

Japanese analysts pointed out that Yoshihide Suga is in a predicament on the Taiwan issue. If he does not say anything, it may have a bad influence on the “Japan-US Alliance”. However, Yoshihide Suga must be clear to his own nationals at this time. Said that Japan will not go to war for Taiwan.

It can be seen that in this “U.S.-Japan summit”, the United States hopes that Japan can show a clear attitude to support “Taiwan independence”, but Yoshihide Suga often uses words such as “peace and stability” to express it. It seems that Japan I also know that China is not easy to mess with on the Taiwan issue.

Taiwan keeps provoking, the United States keeps arguing, and allies can hide if they can.

The current situation in Taiwan makes people worry when they look at it. The Taiwan authorities “reverse every time China”, “Taiwan independence” forces continue to provoke, and the United States does not forget to fan the flames on the other side of the ocean. The Democratic Progressive Party of Taiwan, which has been seeking the “protection” of the United States, has been “a slave-like” and has continued to please. However, the United States has also discovered that in the face of China’s strength, the United States has long been unable to dominate Taiwan’s destiny.

At present, the international situation is chaotic and the US “hegemony” status is at stake. The Biden administration is still reluctant to let go of the “pawn” of Taiwan.

The United States has been trying to pull its allies to accumulate energy, but the funny thing is that whether it is the United Kingdom, which loves to contribute to the flames, or the Japan, which is always standing at the feet of the United States, one silently turns and the other turns.

Obviously, the Biden administration will not act rashly when seeing such a situation. In the end, only the Taiwan Democratic Progressive Party is incapable of “screaming.”

It has to be said that the Taiwan authorities are completely “asking for themselves”, and it is even more ridiculous to use the Taiwan military to compete with the mainland. Even after the U.S. deduced the mainland’s “invasion of Taiwan” scene recently, the “Red Army” representing the mainland won, and the “Blue Army” representing the US military was defeated many times. The Taiwan military even took a boxed meal every minute.

As far as the Biden administration is concerned, if it really “starts”, it will have to abandon Taiwan. It is not worthwhile to trigger a war because of Taiwan.

China will be unified

The mention of Taiwan in the US-Japan joint statement has already touched China’s red line.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of our country clearly pointed out that Taiwan is an inalienable part of Chinese territory. We demand that the United States and Japan take China’s concerns seriously, abide by the one-China principle, immediately stop interfering in China’s internal affairs, and immediately stop harming China’s interests. China will take some necessary measures to resolutely defend national sovereignty, security, and development interests.

In the future, the two sides of the strait will be reunified, the conspiracy of the Tsai Ing-wen authorities will be smashed, and the American dream of dominating the world will come to an end. (Translated new)

Image source: Visual China Reporter Cui Puyu Reporter Cui Puyu The European Union on Wednesday announced a series of strict regulations governing the use of artificial intelligence, including restrictions on the use of facial recognition software by the police in public places. This has become one of the most extensive actions in this regard so far. According to the proposal published by the European Commission (the EU executive agency), the use of artificial intelligence in a series of activities will be restricted, including autonomous vehicles, bank loan applications, university admissions, and examination scoring. It will also cover the use of artificial intelligence by law enforcement systems and courts, an area that is often regarded as “high risk” because it may threaten people’s safety or basic rights. Some uses will be completely banned, including real-time facial recognition in public places. However, for national security or other purposes, there may be some exemptions, such as to prevent terrorist attacks, find missing children, or resolve other public safety emergencies. If the 108-page proposal is passed, it will not only have a profound impact on large technology companies such as Amazon, Google, Facebook, and Microsoft. These companies have invested a lot of resources in the development of artificial intelligence; at the same time, they will also invest in the use of this technology for research and development. Drugs, underwriting insurance, and other companies that judge creditworthiness have had an impact. According to this proposal, companies that violate the new regulations will face fines of up to 6% of their global sales.

Over the past ten years, the EU has been the most active in the world in terms of technology industry regulation, and its regulatory policies are often used as templates by other countries. The 27-nation group has promulgated the world’s most influential data privacy bill, and is discussing other antitrust and content review regulations.

European Commission Executive Vice President Margrethe Vestager said that the regulatory regulations address the risks that artificial intelligence poses to humans and society in certain special applications. “We think this is an emergency, and we are the first on this planet to propose this legal framework.”

Some digital rights activists welcomed some of the regulations, but pointed out that some other factors seemed too vague, and there were too many loopholes to be drilled. Some people in the industry believe that EU regulations will benefit Chinese companies because the latter do not have to face the constraints of similar regulations.

Benjamin Mueller, a senior policy analyst at the Center for Data Innovation, a technology think tank, pointed out that regulations will make the cost of research and development of artificial intelligence in Europe too high, or even technically infeasible. “When the European Union suppresses its own start-ups, the United States and China will watch happily on the sidelines.”

However, some lobbyists in the technology industry believe that the proposal is not so harsh and feel relieved. They praised some clauses, such as strictly regulating only certain types of so-called high-risk artificial intelligence applications.

Christian Borggreen, vice chairman of the Computer & Communications Industry Association, pointed out that the European Commission has adopted a risk-based approach, which is good. The association represents a number of technology giants including Amazon, Facebook and Google.

However, Wednesday’s proposal still has a long way to go before it becomes law and may be adjusted. In the European Union, such laws must be approved by the European Council, which represents the governments of the EU’s 27 countries, and the directly elected European Parliament. The entire process may take several years.

On April 17, the Czech Republic accused the Russian Secret Service of being behind a fatal explosion at an arsenal in eastern Czechs in 2014 and thus expelled 18 Russian diplomats. This decision led to a series of “reciprocal” responses between Prague and Moscow. The Czech Republic has called on allies in the European Union (EU) and the North Atlantic Treaty Bloc (NATO) to unite and support the decision of the Prague government. On April 23, Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis announced his decision to expel two staff of the Russian Embassy in Vilnius for “behavior inconsistent with diplomatic status” and ordered them to leave Lithuania within seven days. Russian Embassy in Riga (Latvia). Photo: TASS The Lithuanian Foreign Ministry stressed that “this decision shows our solidarity (ie the Vilnius government) with our ally after an unprecedented and dangerous incident in the Czech Republic”. Lithuania also offered to support the Czech Embassy in Moscow in carrying out its functions after Czech diplomats were expelled by Russia. The Russian Foreign Ministry announced that by May 31st, the Russian Embassy in Prague and the Czech Embassy in Moscow will only maintain 7 diplomatic staff, 25 technical and administrative staff, as well as right to hire up to 19 employees who are nationals of the host country. Thus, the number of Czech diplomats in Moscow must be reduced by 16, while the number of Russian diplomats in Prague is only one-sixth of the current number. On the same day 23-4, Latvian Foreign Minister Edgars Rinkevics announced the expulsion of a staff member of the Russian Embassy in Riga. The Latvian Foreign Ministry explained that this was a move to show “solidarity with the Czech”, based on “information provided by Latvian authorities” and was made after consulting with allies. EU and NATO. And the Estonian Foreign Ministry announced the expulsion of a Russian diplomat who the Tallinn government said was behaving inconsistent with diplomatic principles. Estonia emphasized that it was “an expression of solidarity with the Czechs” and criticized the actions of the Russian secret service as the Czech accused it of being “unacceptable”. In response to the decision of the Latvian Foreign Ministry, the Russian Embassy in Riga said that this “unfriendly action” would “have the most negative impact on the development of Russian-Latvian relations”. The Russian diplomatic delegation also announced that Moscow would soon take measures to respond, according to the news agency TASS . The Russian embassy in Tallinn was also dissatisfied by Estonia’s decision, saying that the decision to expel Russian diplomats could undermine efforts to improve Russia-Estonian relations. The Russian diplomatic delegation to Lithuania does not appear to have commented on the decision of the Vilnius government yet. Before the three Baltic countries, Slovakia expelled three members of the Russian Embassy in Bratislava to show solidarity with its neighbor Czech.

Illustration. Source: Internet According to the US Federal Revenue Service (IRS), virtual currency needs to be taxed as an asset. When using virtual currency to trade, it also means that this type of asset is being sold. On the other hand, if the user is paid in bitcoins then that amount is valued as a taxable revenue. Almost every cryptocurrency transaction is taxable and requires registration. Despite the fact that bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are virtual, they have a sizable impact on taxes in practice. Tax debtors will incur both interest and penalties, possibly even criminal prosecution in some cases. How does the IRS control the virtual currency tax? According to Mark Luscombe – a federal tax analyst at Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting, any business transactions over $ 600, whether issued to a non-employee or paid to an employee are required to be reported to the IRS. Additionally, at each individual income tax return, any federal taxpayer must honestly answer the question: “At any time in 2020, have received, sold, sent, or exchanged Or is there a financial gain in any virtual currency? “. Together with the US Department of Justice, the tax authorities are taking measures to ensure that people comply with regulations on taxes. The IRS has launched a “virtual currency tax compliance” campaign aimed at reaching and inspecting taxpayers extensively. In addition, the IRS sent documents to 10,000 people to remind citizens of their crypto-related tax obligations, urge them to check and revise their previous declarations if they owe taxes, interest or penalties. . States of the United States have tax electronic money transactions are not ? Cryptocurrency transactions in the US can be taxed. Most states do not have specific crypto legislation, meaning the majority of states will comply with the federal lead in income tax regulations. Any money people make from crypto investments or income payments will count towards the total personal income. Most states use the AGI (an individual’s gross income adjusted for allowable discounts) that federally regulates do. Cryptocurrency transactions continue to be taxed in 2021 By 2021, crypto dealers must report all of their business profits and losses. The tax on virtual currency will depend on the difference between a person’s virtual investment and earnings. If your virtual currency investment increases in value by the time the asset is sold, your earnings will be taxed as regular income. If the investment period is longer than one year, it is subject to capital gains tax. In addition, there is a loss on the sale, the loss of fixed capital can be offset by the gains that are incurred in other investments. The difference when using virtual money to pay Using bitcoin to pay also means that users are selling this property. Trading in bitcoin is likely to receive profit or loss in return. The IRS notes that Bitcoin’s rate is not anchored to any other currency, but entirely dependent on market supply and demand. Bitcoin is currently one of the purest free-market assets because it is freely traded in huge volumes globally without any control. Unlike credit cards, the cost of sending Bitcoin is completely voluntary by the sender (not the receiver). The higher the fee for sending Bitcoin, the more pre-processed the transaction is by the network. The fee for paying in Bitcoin is much cheaper than paying by credit card or wire transfer. The cost of sending money through Bitcoin is independent of the number of deposits, making Bitcoin very attractive to those who want to send money in bulk.

Although Manchester United has officially withdrawn from the European Super League project as well as club vice president Ed Woodward decided to resign, the fans of the Old Trafford team are still angry. About 20 fans of the Men in Black group broke into the Carrington headquarters to protest, causing the MU players to panic. In January of last year, it was the same group that attacked Ed Woodward’s home in Cheshire. When they entered the MU training ground, coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and technical director Darren Flercher tried to calm the situation, but they were also attacked. They questioned Ole why when he was a MU player did not object to the Glazers taking over MU in 2005, and did not speak out against the club participating in the Super League like other coaches. The MU fans entered the MU headquarters. PHOTO: MEN MEDIA Meanwhile, MU players were shocked at the scene when the fans easily penetrated the team’s headquarters and caused trouble. A source told Sportsmail, “There was someone shouting when Ole started talking to them. The players are interested in how easy it is for fans to get past the security barrier. There aren’t enough security officers to stop such angry mobs. MU needs to increase security to prevent the same thing from happening again ”. Ed Woodward, who resigned as vice president of MU after the failure of the Super League project, was not present at the Carrington headquarters at the time. Despite a public apology from co-chairman Joel Glazer on Wednesday night (international time), the group of protesters entered the training ground at 9am and blocked the entrances before moving to the main entrance of the complex. well suited. The Glazers were under great pressure even though they apologized. PHOTO: GETTY They went straight to the training ground of the MU team and the youth training center before posting photos of them holding up banners to protest on social networks. One of the banners read “Glazer out, 51% Utd”. They wanted the Glazers to be wrapped up from Old Trafford, and at the same time wanted MU to receive 51% of the club’s ownership. This is a very successful model of German football, when clubs always gain at least 51% ownership to avoid losing the team to the oligarchs. Some players from the 1 MU team, members of the U-23 team and the female team were unable to enter the training ground. Meanwhile, other members en route to Carrington were contacted to return home to avoid leaving until the protests ended. Banner “We are the decision maker of the team game”. PHOTO: DAILY MAIL “At 9 a.m., a group of people entered the club’s training ground,” said Manchester United. The head coach and the others talked to them. The buildings are safe and the group is gone. Manchester United are also concerned with unsecured security concerns against Leeds United this Sunday in the Premier League. This is the first time the two clubs have faced each other on Elland Road after nearly 18 years. 51% MUFC Banners and Glazers out. PHOTO: DAILY MAIL Before that, Leeds United fans were outside the field to protest against Liverpool when the bus carrying the club entered the football field. Liverpool along with Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Tottenham are English teams participating in the Super League. However, under much pressure, this Big Six Premier League group has officially withdrawn from the Super League.

However, it is precisely because the park contains a large amount of magma beneath the surface, it is called a “super volcano” and it is called a caldera. According to records, the caldera was formed by an eruption 640,000 years ago. At that time, a total of 1,000 cubic kilometers of volcanic ash, a large amount of rock and igneous debris were ejected, and a crater was also formed for this reason. In addition, the most violent eruption of the volcano was 2.1 million years ago, and about 2,450 cubic kilometers of volcanic material was ejected. In 2014, due to the continuous release of heat from the super volcano, the 5 kilometers long asphalt road in the park melted. For this reason, several parks had to be closed urgently.

According to understanding, the eruption period of the caldera in Huangshigong is about 600,000 to 800,000 years, so it is also called “gunpowder barrel” by the outside world. According to on-site exploration by geologists, it was discovered that the area of ​​magma reached 70 kilometers, and the depth was about 10 kilometers, and the viscosity of the magma was extremely high. Of course, in addition to the currently proven magma area, there is also a magma area with a volume of approximately 46,000 cubic kilometers deep on the surface, which is more than 1,100 times that of my country’s Three Gorges Reservoir. We must know that the maximum storage capacity of the Three Gorges Reservoir is about 39.3 billion cubic meters, and the volume of the volcano in Yellowstone Park is too large to imagine.

Most importantly, if the volcano erupts, the consequences are absolutely unimaginable. At least the surrounding area will be greatly affected, and after the volcanic eruption, the forest in Yellowstone Park may no longer exist. We must know that there was a fire in Yellowstone Park in 1988, about 4.8 million acres of forest were affected, and more than 900,000 acres of forest were completely burned. Therefore, if there is a fire in Yellowstone Park in the United States, it is really hard to say whether these forests will survive.

After all, Yellowstone Park not only has one of the largest craters in the world, but also has the largest area of ​​forest in the world. It can be said that as long as the volcano erupts, the forest will be destroyed, and for the United States, a total of more than 100 million US dollars was invested in rescuing the 1988 fire. If the fire happens again, it means that a huge investment is needed.

[Text/Observer Net Ju Feng] On April 16, local time, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga will meet with US President Biden at the White House. Yoshihide Suga has set off yesterday. This meeting is of special significance to the leaders of the two countries-Yoshihide Suga will become the first foreign leader to meet Biden (offline), and it is also the first visit to the United States by Yoshihide Suga as the prime minister of Japan. On April 15, local time, Yoshihide Suga took a government plane to Washington, D.C. (Source: Surging Image) However, Observer.com noticed that the media that announced the matter coincidentally believed that the focus of the two people’s meeting was not in the United States or Japan. China would be the core issue. In addition, the issue of “Fukushima nuclear wastewater discharge” is also only Don’t talk about words. The Bloomberg News Agency of the United States bluntly said, “The meeting between Biden and Yoshihide Suga was all about China” (it’s all about China). Agence France-Presse analyzed on the 15th that the China issue was an overwhelming issue in the meeting between the leaders of the United States and Japan. Yoshihide Suga hopes to further strengthen the bilateral relationship that has been solid since the Trump era, coordinate the positions of the two sides, and more effectively deal with the “increasingly aggressive international” China. In Japanese media, the Japan Broadcasting Association (NHK) said on the 15th that the leaders of the two countries are expected to “freely exchange” opinions on the so-called “China’s growing hegemony” and discuss how to deal with China in terms of national security. Because after this visit, the two countries will issue a joint statement. NHK predicts that the statement will mention the Taiwan region of China and the so-called “human rights issues in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.”

NHK reported that Yoshihide Suga will also seek U.S. cooperation in successfully hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Dongao has entered the 100-day countdown.

All in all, at the White House summit on the 16th, Yoshihide Suga left with the goal of strengthening the Japan-US alliance and establishing mutual trust between leaders.

Biden and Yoshihide Suga map from Japanese media

The US media, which talks about China on weekdays, also predict that China will be the core agenda.

The US Consumer News and Business Channel (CNBC) stated that “China’s growing influence will be the focus of discussion at the summit.” This meeting is the first face-to-face summit held with a foreign leader since Biden took office as US President. This shows Japan’s position in the hearts of the Biden administration.

CNBC quoted an analyst from Control Risks, a consulting firm, as saying that rebuilding the US-Japan alliance and competing with China are the core of Biden’s foreign policy. The meeting between Biden and Yoshihide Suga showed that Japan is the key to this policy.

CNBC quoted a report from the Nikkei on April 6 that the leaders of the two countries will also discuss infrastructure projects such as 5G networks and clean energy-the United States and Japan may use such cooperation to counterbalance China’s “Belt and Road” initiative. .

The “New York Times” stated that Biden will restore the ally that Trump has messed up through the meeting with Suga Yoshihide, and hopes to unite Japan to fight China more effectively.

The New York Times believes that Japan should also clearly express its attitude toward China to the United States, such as its position on Taiwan, rather than unilaterally seeking security protection from the United States.

It must be mentioned that the British media “Financial Times” reported on the 14th that the Biden administration is constantly pressing Suga Yoshihide to publicly mention Taiwan in the joint statement, but Japan is still hesitant about this.

Before the 2+2 meeting, Japan was relatively cautious on the Taiwan issue. However, after the joint statement of the 2+2 meeting was released, Japan’s attitude on the Taiwan issue was severely criticized by China. On March 17, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian criticized the US-Japan joint statement for seriously interfering in China’s internal affairs and vainly attempting to harm China’s interests.

According to the New York Times, whether Japan will embark on the path of “against China”, Yoshihide Suga’s trip to the United States may provide some clues.

China and the United States are Japan’s first and second largest partner countries respectively. As Japan leans toward the United States in its stance, the United States has also supported Japan’s erroneous policies “regardless of black and white.”

After the Japanese government declared that it would discharge the Fukushima nuclear waste water containing radionuclides into the Pacific in spite of its opposition, US Secretary of State Brinken immediately expressed his gratitude for “Japan’s transparency.”

Suga Yoshihide said before departure on the 15th that he hopes to establish a relationship of trust with Biden through the talks and further consolidate the Japan-US alliance. He also said that he will demonstrate Japan-US “leadership” to the world toward the realization of a “free and open India-Pacific”.

NHK reported yesterday that due to the impact of the new crown epidemic, Yoshihide Suga’s delegation has reduced its size. About 80 people accompanied the Prime Minister on the visit, which is a reduction of 20% to 30% from normal times; Yoshihide Suga’s wife will stay in Japan.

Finally, by the way, the White House said on the 15th that Biden will meet with the visiting South Korean President Moon Jae-in in late May. Moon Jae-in will become the second foreign leader to visit the United States after Yoshihide Suga. This move was interpreted by foreign media as South Korea’s pursuit of “isometric diplomacy” (with Japan).

It may not be so simple behind Japan’s discharge of nuclear sewage into the sea. Given that the United States has clearly stated that it supports and appreciates Japan’s relevant actions, we must consider that the United States and Japan are very likely to collude in plotting earth-shattering conspiracies to harm the people of the world and Eastern countries. The U.S.’s criminal activities behind the evil in Japan must also counteract the wrong words and actions of the U.S. while fighting the Japanese devil. Only in this way can the effect of curing the symptoms and the root cause be achieved to the greatest extent.

The United States’ support for Japan’s poisoning around China and Russia is indeed a ruthless move. It quietly launched a nuclear pollution war against China, Russia, North Korea and other countries, regardless of the environmental interests of South Korea, the Philippines, including Australia, Canada, and US allies in the Pacific Rim. It’s crazy to even ignore the life and death of Americans. The United States’ previous support thanks to Japan’s performance of poisoning has in fact corroborated the madness of the American ruling class. At this time, the American people, who are deeply caught in the epidemic and in the riots of division, seem to be far from awakening, and are questioning and fighting for their rights to live well.

In view of the fact that the United States has clearly stated that it supports and appreciates Japan’s relevant actions, we must consider that the United States and Japan are very likely to collude in plotting shocking conspiracies to entrap the people of the world and Eastern countries. At the same time, the devil must counteract the wrong words and actions of the United States, so as to maximize the effect of curing the symptoms and curing the root cause.

The United States’ support for Japan’s poisoning around China and Russia is indeed a ruthless move. It quietly launched a nuclear pollution war against China, Russia, North Korea and other countries, regardless of the environmental interests of South Korea, the Philippines, including Australia, Canada, and US allies in the Pacific Rim. It’s crazy to even ignore the life and death of Americans. The United States’ previous support thanks to Japan’s performance of poisoning has in fact corroborated the madness of the American ruling class. At this time, the American people, who are deeply caught in the epidemic and in the riots of division, seem to be far from awakening, and are questioning and fighting for their rights to live well.

It is necessary to realize that Japan’s nuclear waste discharge is actually launching a nuclear war against the surrounding countries in the Pacific. China, Russia, North Korea and the United States will be the main victims of Japan’s nuclear pollution. We must actually regard it as nuclear. Of course, there are reasons to consider the use of nuclear war to contain the acts of war. As we all know, Japan can safely treat Fukushima nuclear waste water by expanding its water storage tanks. In addition, Japan is not the only country in the world that has ever experienced a nuclear accident. However, the countries involved in the accident have effectively dealt with them on their own soils, and have not led to the large-scale spread of nuclear pollution to the world. However, Japan has dragged the Pacific countries and even the world to bear it. The country’s technological backwardness has led to the consequences of a nuclear accident, which is very sinister and vicious. In addition to the public support of the United States, the United States and Japan have almost settled their conspiracy in discharging nuclear waste water. Of course, this is very dangerous for our country.

The United States has always wanted to pull Japan into the anti-China camp. Japan had previously relied heavily on China for its economy and did not explicitly promise the United States to jointly oppose China. After the “2+2” talks between the United States and Japan, they first hyped up the Diaoyu Islands topic, and then jointly hyped up the Taiwan issue. China’s strong counterattack was met. The Chinese Coast Guard and Air Force did not eat the United States and Japan, and routinely cruised to the Diaoyu Islands. As soon as they were stunned back, the United States and Japan subsequently expanded their efforts to discharge nuclear waste water into the sea. It is reported that Japan chose a location close to China for its nuclear waste water discharge. This is a flagrant environmental nuclear war against China. Japan and the United States may have declared war against China in private through this move, and China should regard it as an act of war, or even an act of conducting a nuclear war against China. On this basis, Japan is equivalent to having used nuclear weapons against China for the first time and threatening the survival and safety of the Chinese nation. Japanese nuclear waste water will pollute the seas of China. Polluting the sea water around China will pollute China’s inland rivers and land. The people of our country will Trapped in this nuclear crisis and nuclear disaster, incidents that caused Chinese casualties due to Japan’s dumping of nuclear waste water are likely to be staged in the future. Based on this, we have reasons to counterattack Japan in various dimensions, and the use of nuclear means should not be ruled out here. The destructive effect of Japan’s nuclear waste water is equivalent to nuclear weapons, and its actions are endangering the security of China and the region and even the world, and the welfare of human beings. As a responsible major country, China is also a nuclear power. In order to maintain the security and stability of China, the region and the world, it should be retained. To adopt nuclear containment against Japan that has already used nuclear waste water weapons. If Japan still insists on using nuclear waste water to entrap mankind, ending Japan’s nuclear crimes with nuclear weapons is also in line with China’s nuclear policy. Therefore, Japan should not be unscrupulous. For nuclear damage, we can calculate the old and new accounts together with Japan.

Earlier, there was news that hydrogen bombs could be used to treat Japan’s nuclear wastewater. When the hydrogen bombs are blasted in Japan, Japan’s nuclear wastewater, including nuclear pollution, will be eliminated by this more powerful nuclear method, and there is no need to discharge nuclear wastewater into the sea. Now, do you want to try in Japan?

A few years before the United States, some media were hyping that once the Fukushima nuclear waste water in Japan was discharged to the sea, according to the so-called Pacific circulation, the nuclear waste water would mainly circulate in the large circle from the first island chain to the west coast of the United States and Canada. China, the Korean Peninsula, and the Russian Far East west of the Japanese archipelago are not within the scope of the above-mentioned nuclear pollution. This is ridiculous and easily paralyzes the people of China, Russia and North Korea. Since the ocean circulation is recognized, and the ocean is a global unity, not to mention the seas on the east and west sides of the first island chain that are relatively close. After the nuclear waste water dumped in Fukushima, these two sea areas must be seriously polluted.

Japan reached a high degree of agreement on the issue of Japan’s nuclear sewage discharge. There must be a conspiracy behind it. Because of the direct outbreak of nuclear war, the United States has no way out. The United States’ bases in the Asia-Pacific region, including the United States, don’t even want to stay. They are more insidious. For nuclear strikes against other countries, it is very likely that this time the United States and Japan will jointly select Fukushima nuclear waste water, a nuclear attack that is highly lethal and does not appear in the form of weapons to destroy the environment and economic lifeline of neighboring countries. The economy has suffered severe economic and environmental losses, while the large ones have plunged the people of the region into an existential crisis. You know, the main hostile countries of the United States and Japan are concentrated in the Western Pacific. Once nuclear waste water is discharged to this area, China, Russia, North Korea, South Korea, and Taiwan will all be severely harmed. This may be exactly what the United States and Japan want to see. of. This may be why the U.S. and Japan are facing nuclear weapons and detoxification in the Western Pacific.

Zhao Lijian: The U.S. body is very honest, “Like it while banning it”

On April 15, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian presided over a regular press conference. Zhao Lijian said that some Japanese politicians tried their best to prove the innocence of nuclear waste water, and then asked them to use nuclear waste water for drinking, cooking, washing clothes or irrigation. Ask them to ensure that seafood will not be contaminated by nuclear waste water.

Zhao Lijian also said that Japan should not think that it has received the gratitude of the United States. The United States is physically honest. While liking, the import of Japanese rice, fish and other products is prohibited. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration emphasized that due to public health issues related to radiation and nuclear contamination, it has strengthened the supervision of Japan’s controlled products. I don’t know what Japan’s explanation is for this US policy?

On April 13, the Japanese government formally decided to discharge nuclear sewage into the sea. US State Department spokesperson Ned Price and US Secretary of State Brinken subsequently tweeted to express “appreciation” and “thank you” for Japan’s decision. It looks like a “good brother”.

However, according to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) previously updated No. 99-33 Import Alert, a series of Japanese foods are still prohibited from entering the United States.

The Japanese foods involved include: milk, butter, dry dairy products; fish, sea urchins, clams and other marine biological products; meat, meat products and poultry (beef, boar, bear, deer, duck, hare and pheasant products); vegetables, Citrus, pomelo, kiwi, etc., involve many places such as Aomori, Fukushima, Miyagi, Nagano, and Tochigi. It is worth noting that the FDA emphasized: “Due to public health issues related to radiation and nuclear contamination, the FDA has strengthened its surveillance of Japanese controlled products.”

In the 2008 financial crisis, in order to boost the country’s economy, the United States passed the crisis on to other countries through quantitative easing (QE) and reduction. Today, the United States is repeating its old tricks. After announcing unlimited “money printing,” the United States has released new signals within a day.

In the early morning of Thursday (April 15), Beijing time, Fed Powell stated in a speech at the Washington Economic Club that the US economy is at an “inflection point” of accelerating growth and hopes that the inflation rate will be moderately higher than 2% for a period of time. To the market’s surprise, he also said that before raising interest rates, the Fed will gradually reduce the scale of bond purchases (cutting QE).

Powell said that the time to reduce QE may be much earlier than the time when the Fed considers raising interest rates . He also said that although the Fed has not yet voted on this, it is a guideline. For the current market, this is undoubtedly a “blockbuster”, because any discussion about reducing QE now will cause a high degree of market tension.

At the time when the Fed’s wind direction is changing, the Chinese central bank seems to be going the other way. China’s latest announcement on Thursday shows that on April 15, 2021, the central bank will carry out 150 billion yuan of medium-term lending facilities (MLF, commonly known as “spicy powder”) operations (including the expiration of MLF on April 15 and TMLF on April 25). Continued), in addition, a 10 billion yuan reverse repurchase operation was also carried out.

As there are 10 billion yuan of reverse repurchase and 100 billion yuan of MLF due today, China’s daily operations, from a full-scale perspective, have achieved a net investment of 50 billion yuan. What does this mean? In fact, both reverse repurchase and MLF are essentially tools for the central bank to provide liquidity to the market.

Therefore, the goal of this action is actually to maintain a reasonable abundance of liquidity in the banking system. In fact, it has been stated before that the current currency adjustment of the Federal Reserve has little impact on China. Judging from the actions in the day, the toolbox of the Central Bank of China is still very sufficient.
