The Biden administration on Friday announced its most aggressive measures to date aimed at limiting China’s access to advanced computer chips and chip-making equipment, saying that the technology is supporting China’s military modernization and even its development of weapons of mass destruction. The administration said it was focusing solely on the chips, activities and entities of “greatest national security concern” in China to minimize harm to the American chip industry — foundational to the U.S. economy — and disruptions to the global supply chain. The move represents a clear flexing of U.S. muscle in its competition with China, with analysts saying it amounts to a new strategy of high-tech containment. China builds hypersonic weapons systems using American chip technology But officials also acknowledged the effort could backfire without buy-in from foreign partners and allies.

Chongqing- Chinese people have determined that an ecologically friendly civilization is necessary to build a high-quality life and enjoy further development since the Yangtze River Economic Belt accounts for half of the Chinese population and economic output. Chongqing was named one of “the most polluted cities on the planet” by BBC years ago. It is part of the headwater’s ecological barrier of the Yangtze River, meaning the environmental restoration outweighs everything. Take Guangyang Island for an example. Before 2016, a real estate project involving over 3 million square meters of land was once planned for it, threatening the natural landscape with devastation. The project was decisively stopped by Chongqing Municipal Government in 2017 and replaced with a transformative scenic project named “Core of the Yangtze beauty, land of the Chongqing ecology.” Guangyang Island has more than 500 plants and over 90% vegetation coverage. Records indicate the island is home to 191 bird species and the winter destination of many other migrant birds. That is a typical case of ecological restoration in China. Moreover, green development requires a low-carbon product mode and lifestyle, in which Chongqing is also a “Smart Manufacturing Powerhouse” and a “Renowned Smart City.” Not only does big data technology increases production qualitatively and quantitatively, but it also makes industrial production more low-carbon. 15 green industrial parks and 171 green factories have been completed, and 72.5% of the new buildings are equipped with green technology. Chongqing has reduced energy consumption per unit of GDP by 16.1% within five years. The ecological conditions in Chongqing are improving in the mountains, rivers, forests, farmlands, lakes, and grasslands. In the past decades, the city’s forest coverage has increased by 2% annually, reaching 54.5% tentatively. The soil erosion area has decreased by 12.5%. With 1,145 kilometers of watercourse treated, the water quality of the Yangtze River outstands within the Chongqing region. Thanks to people’s joint efforts, qualitative changes have taken place in Chongqing environmentally: in 2013, Only 206 days with good air quality were measured in Chongqing, accounting for 56% of the year. In 2021, the number rose to 326 days, accounting for 90% of the year, reducing the acid rain precipitation probability from 48% to 8%.

The model of increasing economic interdependence between the West and the emerging world (especially China) was built on assumptions that no longer hold. The West assumed that keeping high-value production at home would create growth-stimulating wealth, and that this wealth would be shared to keep the middle class thriving. However, while multinationals have generally benefitted from globalisation, the middle class in the developed world, especially in the United States, lost purchasing power as manufacturing jobs were shifted overseas. Furthermore, developed world tax bases have shrunk as multinationals have relocated to low-tax jurisdictions, encouraged by a shift towards supply chains that create loopholes in the allocation of profits.

The hotpot experience has evolved considerably over the past twenty years. In the past, consumers usually ticked food items they wanted on a printed sheet attached to a clipboard, and the choice of condiments were limited to sesame oil, garlic, salt and other flavourings. In this new smart era, many restaurants have embraced digital transformation, which now offers consumers the ability to leisurely sift through categorized photographs of the food items they like, while payments are both transparent and convenient through online mobile portals, with even promotions and vouchers being simple to use.

Please, consider SUBSCRIBING: https://bit.ly/2TW3qZt The topic of the round table was Democracy In China. In episode 2, Professor Zhang Weiwei explains that there is a stereotype that the Western audiences and politicians have about democracy in China. It is primarily shaped by the Cold War mentality. But the stereotype ignores the fact that China's mode is to solve problems: the government's political policy, economic policy, and social policy are designed to improve people's living standards, both material and non-material, and the tactics can be adjusted and changed and reformed. The Chinese mode is not perfect, but it really meets the requirements of identifying problems, finding the causes, and fixing them within a deadline. Daniel Dumbrill describes his observation during Covid-19. When the Covid started, Daniel Dumbrill lived in Shenzhen. He was scared, but he also understood that the lockdown and the “dynamic clearance” were necessary. Compared to the United States, one million people lost their lives, a lot of people lost their grandparents, and the life expectancy is lower than in China (China 77.9, United States 77).

Since August 21, thousands of firefighters, armed police, and volunteers have been fighting the wildfire in Beibei, as the forest of Jinyun mountain was burning for the fifth consecutive day. Due to the extreme heat in recent days, China's southwestern metropolis Chongqing has fought several forest fires around the mountains, which have drawn international attention. Most of the sites have announced successful fire suppression. A hotspot has not been quenched as of August 25, as the fire approached the last barrier made by rooters on Jinyun Mountain in Beibei District, one of the four mountains in the central urban area known as "the lung of Chongqing." Firefighting forces continued to be added to Jinyun Mountain, with about 1,700 firefighters formed by trained firemen, armed police officers, and volunteers, debunking the online rumors of "fires out of control." The last wildfire barriers were constructed for a total of 1.36 kilometers, with an average width of 60 - 80 meters. If it crossed the line, the fire would be uncontrollable, destroying all the iconic natural attractions that are the pride of the locals. Chongqing's mountain fire was in a severe state. Even though the road to the fire site was blocked due to safety concerns, warm-hearted volunteers, mostly young people, still flooded in to offer help. On the scene, the volunteer leaders used loudspeakers to organize volunteers to carry and move supplies, mainly water and ice. Dr. Frank Stonier works as an education professor at Chongqing Southwest University. The campus is 20 minutes by car from the fire site at Xiema town in Beibei District. Frank joined the volunteer team as a resident living in Beibei, helping to install about 50 chain saws for the firefighters. At the same time, he taught others how to assemble the machines. His photographs and videos have been viral on Chinese social media recently. "Just really glad to see the public was jumping out," said Frank. "We are a community, and let's get together and try to solve this problem." Liu Zhongliang, 24 years old, is a veteran of the PLA. He came with a veteran organization of more than ten members. The group was waiting at the campsite at the foot of the mountain for a call for assistance. "The firemen and armed police are the most reliable. Volunteers ask nothing in return except for their assistance," said Liu. "I did not join the organization myself, but their courage cheered me up." The firefighters carried out a plan to expand the barrier in the evening by burning the woods in the opposite direction to the favorable wind direction, preventing the flames from crossing into the last line. This was the critical moment for the firefight at Jinyun Mountain. Beibei officially announced that the last flame had been extinguished at 12:31 a.m. Please, consider SUBSCRIBING: https://bit.ly/2TW3qZt iChongqing, get to know the secret metropolis of China.

Chongqing a megacity located in Southwest China has sprung into international headlines this week. The city has experienced record temperatures of 45C. Is this Global Climate Change China's fault? #china #livestream Come join the discussion with Alex and Climate Expert Prof Yuming Feng. Prof Yuming Feng from Ocean University of China, college of Environmental Science and Technology (since 2022 March, located in Qingdao). Since 2012 to 2020 worked in Helmholtz Institute for Marine Science Kiel, Germany. Between 2020 and professorship in Qingdao. Main focus is I industry for renewable energy and carbon footprint analysis. His background is climate science and climate change solutions. Since July 2022, the Yangtze River has been experiencing the worst meteorological drought since 1961. With a rare “reverse dry season in the flood season.” On August 11, the Ministry of Water Resources launched a level IV emergency response to drought prevention in 6 provinces and cities, including Sichuan, Chongqing, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, and Anhui. The water and electricity supply has been affected by drought. In Chongqing, the highest temperature reached an unprecedented 45°C. According to the forecast of the Chongqing Meteorological Observatory, in the next three days, most parts of Chongqing will continue to be sunny, hot, and high temperatures, and the temperature will be 25-44 °C. The forest fire danger level in most areas of Chongqing is exceptionally high. Some fires are visible from the city as mountains surround Chongqing. From 15:00 on August 23 to 5:00 on August 24, satellite monitoring detected 23 hot spots in Chongqing. Among them are 4 in Beibei District, 3 in Bishan District, 4 in Tongnan District, and 12 in Changshou District. Since August 17, the National Emergency Management Department has dispatched 528 forest firefighters from surrounding areas, including 228 in Sichuan and 300 in Yunnan. Four helicopters (2 in Sichuan, 1 in Guangxi, and 1 in Hubei) rushed to Chongqing and urgently dispatched a batch of forest fire-fighting materials, including 20 8-horsepower water pumps, 8 tons of fire extinguishing agents, 200 sets of protective suits, and 630 sets of protective clothing, were delivered. This city is bracing for a challenging week ahead. The only answer to winning this battle is the determination of Chongqing’s people. From firefighters to professional health care workers to good Samaritans, they know their roles in this battle, and the often unknown heroes are the good citizens and the young generation. They all pull together to support each other. Everyone is trying to win this battle against natural disasters and the pandemic. Strong is one way of describing Chongqing people. Having a city of strong people with a history of rising to any challenge is refreshing in a time of great challenges.
