Indian media: American anti-China science and technology war is groundless and tantamount to self-destruction

  India’s "QRIUS" website article on May 23, the original title: The US anti-China science and technology war is unfounded and tantamount to self-destruction. For American companies, financial giants, high-tech industries and consumers, President Biden’s expansion of the technology war is bad news. Over time, this will damage the Asian recovery and the global economic prospects.

  Recently, the Biden administration sent two senior officials to "explain" that the United States is not seeking to decouple from China (in fact, the United States seems to be doing so). However, neither Finance Minister Yellen nor Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs Sullivan answered how Washington plans to restrict technology transfer and investment in China. This encourages the view that the new measures of the United States may harm investors and disrupt the world trading system. At the beginning of 2021, Anne Kruger, a former WTO economist, warned that the US practices were "bullying China in trade, foreign investment, cyberspace, e-commerce, intellectual property rights, the South China Sea, the Taiwan Strait and other matters." The U.S. measures (aimed at China’s suppression) have produced extensive and aimless negative effects, especially when the U.S. economy is teetering on the brink of recession. No matter what strategy the Biden administration adopts, the long-term economic challenges of the United States have just begun, and the war on science and technology will make the situation worse.

  In addition to prohibiting American companies from making foreign investments in China’s technology enterprises, Biden’s administration is also trying to restrict the types of technologies sold in China. As high-end semiconductors become the initial focus, the restrictions will be extended to artificial intelligence, quantum computing, electric vehicles and rare earth metals; In short, those emerging industries in the future. Ironically, American companies and financial giants still want to cooperate with China, just as ordinary Americans want cheap and affordable goods.

  For several weeks, Biden’s administration said that it would announce restrictions on investment in China with its American allies before the Group of Seven (G7) Hiroshima Summit. But it didn’t happen. On the contrary, it is only stated in the summit communique that G7 partners "stand together" in their respective aspects of China, but all member States will "act in accordance with national interests". Although the U.S. government tries to multilateralize misleading policies, it may be that only the United States will really implement such policies.

  No matter how meager security benefits Biden administration hopes to gain from preventing American investment and international recognition of China’s technology enterprises, these benefits may be offset by the huge collateral damage caused by the new restrictions in the United States and the world. Over time, these restrictions will also prevent Americans from learning from China technology companies — — Many of them are at or near the top of the technology field.

  Washington’s technical restrictions (aimed at China) will punish American enterprises, investors and consumers over time, undermine global recovery and drag American allies into geopolitical stagnation, and suffer huge losses due to missed opportunities. This is the wrong action at the wrong time.

Customers buy more than 10,000 yuan graphics cards online but receive bricks and mineral water? Merchant response

  Jimu journalist Liu Xiaobin

  Mr. Du from Shenyang, Liaoning spent 15,288 yuan to buy a video card through the idle fish platform, but received a brick and a bottle of water. On April 10th, the staff of the graphics card seller responded to a journalist who had a dispute with Mr. Du in a previous online transaction. The money has been returned but has not yet been returned. Mr. Du’s second card purchase is still on the platform. Because of fear of loss, he gave a brick and a bottle of water this time.

  The video circulating on the Internet shows that at a railing with barbed wire, a woman handed a paper box from under the barbed wire, and a man opened it on the spot. There was a packaged object and a bottle of water in the box. In the video, the man said that the packaged object was a brick.

  On the afternoon of April 10th, Jimu journalist contacted Mr. Du, the publisher of the video. He introduced that he lives in Huanggu District, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province. On April 2, he paid 15,288 yuan on the idle fish platform and bought a graphics card at an online store with an address in Xuanwu District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, ready to install it on the computer to play games. At 4 o’clock on the afternoon of April 9, he went downstairs to get the parcel, opened it in front of the courier, and found that it was not a graphics card, but a brick and a bottle of water.

  Mr. Du told Jimu journalist that at the end of March, he saw an advertisement on the Internet saying that a new graphics card was to be listed. It happened that he needed it. On March 29th, he placed an order on the idle fish platform and paid 15,490 yuan for it. Later, after receiving the goods, he felt that he didn’t meet his requirements, so he proposed to replace a product. He had many conversations with the seller in the middle. On the afternoon of April 9, before receiving the new express, he received the last payment of 15,300 yuan returned by the platform. For this matter, Mr. Wei, a staff member of the seller of the video card, told the Jimu journalist that the courier containing bricks and water was indeed sent through them, but there was a dispute with the buyer in the last online transaction.

  Mr. Wei introduced that at the end of March, Mr. Du paid more than 15,000 yuan to buy a graphics card. At that time, he had clearly told Mr. Du that the graphics card "will not be returned once it is sold, unless there are quality problems", but after Mr. Du received the graphics card, he asked for a return. After the return, he also asked for more than 100 yuan less, so the two sides had a dispute. Mr. Wei said that in repeated communication, Mr. Du spent another 15,288 yuan to buy a graphics card.

  "The price of graphics card is different every day, sometimes the price difference is relatively large, and the price loss and courier fee will need to be borne by the seller. For the first time, the loss of that graphics card was about 800 yuan, and I was angry. In addition, I did not receive the first graphics card returned by Mr. Du at that time. I was worried that the loss would be even greater and I had to deliver the goods as scheduled, so I delivered a brick and a bottle of water. " Mr. Wei said that this matter is more complicated and there are reasons for it.

  On the afternoon of April 9, Mr. Du didn’t sign for the express delivery, and he has asked the express delivery company to return it, and Mr. Du has complained about this to the idle fish platform.

Japanese media: Fukushima nuclear pollution water discharge into the sea is likely to officially begin at the end of August.

BEIJING, August 7 (Xinhua)-According to a report by Japan’s Asahi Shimbun on the 6th, several Japanese government sources revealed that the Japanese government plans to formally decide the date of discharging Fukushima nuclear polluted water into the sea after the US-Japan-ROK summit on August 18th, and the sewage discharge into the sea may start at the end of August at the earliest.

  It is reported that Japanese Prime Minister kishida fumio plans to attend the US-Japan-ROK summit in the United States on August 18th, during which he will meet separately with US President Biden and South Korean President Yin Xiyue.

  According to the report, Kishida plans to explain the plan of discharging nuclear polluted water from Fukushima to the sea during the meeting, and hold a meeting of relevant cabinet members after returning to Japan to formally determine the date of discharging the sea.

  Officials from the Japanese Prime Minister’s official residence revealed that it will take at least a week before the date of sea discharge is decided and the sea discharge is officially started.

  According to the analysis of sources, the Japanese government has repeatedly stressed that it will start the sea discharge plan in the summer of 2023. At the same time, Fukushima Prefecture will lift the ban on bottom trawling in September, and the Japanese government is trying to avoid delaying the sea discharge time until September. Based on this, it is very likely that the sea discharge plan will officially start at the end of August.

  Japan’s forced discharge of pollutants into the sea has aroused strong opposition at home and abroad.

  On July 31, local time, citizen groups of Japan and South Korea held a protest rally in front of the Japanese Prime Minister’s residence in Tokyo, opposing the Japanese government and Tokyo Electric Power Company’s plan to push nuclear pollution water into the sea.

  On July 19th, Haruhiko Terazawa, head of the Miyagi Fishery Association of Japan, expressed strong opposition to the discharge of nuclear polluted water into the sea, saying that this would inevitably have a negative impact on Japanese fisheries.

  South Korean parliamentarian Zhu Zhexuan said a few days ago: "There are other ways besides discharging the sea. Just because the cost of discharging the sea is the lowest. " He also stressed: "It is absolutely impossible to pollute the ocean as the source of life and affect other countries."

  The Malaysian People’s Party recently submitted a memorandum urging the Japanese government to cancel the plan of discharging nuclear polluted water into the sea and find other ways to deal with it.

  Kalinga Senaviratne, consultant of the news project of Fiji South Pacific University, said that the Japanese practice has damaged the living environment of Pacific island countries.

  China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said recently that the legitimacy, legality and safety of the Japanese plan to discharge nuclear polluted water into the sea have been questioned by the international community. No matter how the Japanese side whitewashes the wrongs, it can’t "bleach" the plan to expel the sea. Protests from neighboring countries and doubts from all walks of life in Japan are all evidence. China urges Japan to face up to the legitimate concerns of the international community and domestic people, stop pushing the plan of discharging the sea, fully communicate with neighboring countries in a sincere manner, effectively dispose of nuclear polluted water in a responsible manner, and accept international supervision.

Is it okay to open the skylight after it rains?

When driving in rainy days, it is not recommended to open the rear sunroof. This is because doing so may cause damage to the electronic control mechanism of the sunroof, and may also cause rainwater to enter the car, thus damaging the electronic system in the car.

The skylight of a car is a convenient function, but improper use may cause damage to the car. Therefore, when driving in rainy days, it is best to close the skylight to prevent rainwater from infiltrating into the car. In addition, be careful not to turn on the external circulation of air conditioner in rainy days, because this will lead to water in the car, which will affect the air quality and health in the car.

If you are not sure whether you can open the sunroof, it is recommended to check the owner’s manual of the vehicle or consult a professional technician. They can provide more specific suggestions to ensure that your vehicle is in good condition when driving in rainy days.

In a word, when driving in rainy days, we should pay attention to protecting all parts of the vehicle to ensure its normal operation. Closing the skylight and avoiding opening the external circulation of air conditioner are important measures to protect the safety of vehicles and passengers.

Rain today! Good rain knows the season, plants sprout and spring is coming.

On February 19, the rainy season was ushered in. This is the second of the 24 solar terms. Rainwater, like solar terms such as Grain Rain, Xiaoman, light snow and heavy snow, is a solar term that reflects the precipitation phenomenon and the ancient farming culture.
During the rainy solar term, the direct point of the sun is gradually approaching the equator from the southern hemisphere. At this time, the sunshine hours and intensity are increasing in the northern hemisphere, and the temperature rises rapidly. The warm and humid air from the ocean becomes active and gradually advances northward to meet the cold air, forming rainfall. In rainy season, the weather is changeable, which is one of the seasons with the most cold wave process in the whole year, with cold and hot, warm and cold at first.
The climate intention of rain solar terms means that the probability of rainfall in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River where solar terms originated is higher than that of snowfall. The ancients said: "When the east wind thaws, the ice and snow are scattered into water and turned into rain, hence the name rain". Rainwater solar terms should contain three meanings, one is melting, the other is the increase of total precipitation, and the third is the decrease of snowfall. With the increase of precipitation, the speed of recovery has slowed down. Among the six solar terms in spring, the temperature increase during the rainy period is the smallest. From snow to rain, from freezing to melting is a particularly time-consuming and energy-consuming thing, which is one of the reasons for the lack of recovery during the rainy season.
At this time, although the snowfall began to decrease, it didn’t end. The Yellow River Basin often had snow break during Qingming Festival, and Grain Rain had frost break. Frost and snow may occur in any solar term in spring. An old saying goes, "There will be peach blossom snow in March and plum cream in April." As far as the climate is concerned, the last snow in most areas, that is, the last snow, is from rain to solar terms.
The meaning of rain solar term is also the beginning of rainfall, and the rainfall level is mainly light rain or drizzle. As the saying goes, "Spring rain is as expensive as oil", and suitable precipitation is very important for the growth of crops, which is a reflection of farming culture for festivals. Entering the rain solar term, there is no spring breath in the northern part of China, but most places in the south are full of spring, a scene of early spring.
Generally speaking, the rain solar term means that, first, the weather is getting warmer and the precipitation is gradually increasing; Second, in the form of precipitation, there is less snow and more rain. In the eyes of the ancients, the phenological signs of rain are: waiting for rex to sacrifice fish, waiting for Yanbei to return, and waiting for vegetation to sprout.
Rex sacrifices fish, that is, the east wind thawed, and otters began to fish, eating and showing off in an ostentatious manner on the shore. It puts the fish on the shore, just like displaying offerings for sacrifice, and then eats it, making it look like a ceremony.
When the geese return to the north, it means that the geese fly north. The river opened in beginning of spring, and the geese came when it rained. It’s a wild goose, not a swallow. The ancients said that the first stage of the vernal equinox was the arrival of a mysterious bird, that is, the arrival of a swallow. Therefore, "deja vu Yan returns" is in the vernal equinox, not in the rain. Roughly speaking, Xiaoyan goes from spring to autumn, and geese come in winter and go in summer. They are called migratory birds because they are phenological phenomena.
The vegetation germinates, that is, the vegetation begins to sprout. Now we often say, "What happened?" This "occurrence" used to be a special word to describe spring. Erya said: "Winter is peaceful, and spring is happening." Occurrence originally refers to germination and growth. However, in rainy season, the grass color is often far away, but there is nothing. If there is anything, maybe this is the "most benefit of spring" in the eyes of the world.

How to buy Yuanxiao food?
Facing the dazzling array of Yuanxiao products in the market, how should consumers choose and eat them scientifically? Chinese institute of food science and technology once made the following consumption tips.
1, the label information should be complete "9+" elements are indispensable.
Consumers should buy Yuanxiao in supermarkets and other regular food sales places or channels, and carefully check whether the food labels on the packages are complete. According to the requirements of relevant national standards, prepackaged foods labels provided directly to consumers should include nine items such as food name, ingredient list, net content and specifications, name, address and contact information of producers and/or distributors, production date and shelf life, storage conditions, food production license number, product standard code, and other contents that need to be marked. Don’t buy or eat Lantern Festival without labels or labels with incomplete information and unclear contents, and cover up, reprint or tamper with the labels.
2. Pay attention to sensitization information in the order of ingredients, and don’t miss it.
According to the requirements of relevant national food safety standards, any substances (including food additives) used in food manufacturing or processing and existing in products need to be marked one by one in the food ingredient list. The ingredients added in an amount of more than 2% shall be arranged from high to low when making or processing food. Therefore, when consumers buy Yuanxiao, they can check the ingredients list first, and then decide which product to buy.
If the ingredients contain food and its products that may cause allergies, such as gluten-containing grains and their products, peanuts and their products, manufacturers will generally use recognizable names in the ingredient list or give a prompt in the vicinity of the ingredient list; The above-mentioned food or its products may be brought in during the processing, and it is also appropriate to prompt them near the ingredient list. Therefore, allergic people should pay attention to carefully check the ingredient list when choosing or eating Yuanxiao, and whether there is any prompt information near the ingredient list.
3. Look carefully at the instructions for storage and cooking on the two dates.
The production date and shelf life on the product label should be highlighted. When buying Yuanxiao, it is recommended to buy products with stable quality within the shelf life, not products that have passed the shelf life.
According to the regulatory requirements, the storage conditions are marked on the labels in prepackaged foods. For example, the quick-frozen Yuanxiao is generally required to be stored at -18℃. No matter when purchasing products or after purchasing, the products should be stored under the storage conditions marked on the label.
In addition, usually on the packaging label of Yuanxiao, manufacturers will generally give reasonable cooking suggestions, which consumers can refer to to to get the best taste.
4. It is more appropriate to read the nutrition label carefully and refer to the purchase.
According to the requirements of relevant national standards, nutrition labels will also be provided on the Lantern Festival labels. Nutrition labels mainly include: table of nutrients, nutrition claim to explain the level of nutrients and nutrition function claim to explain the health function. Among them, the nutrient composition table should indicate the contents of at least five elements (energy, protein, fat, carbohydrate and sodium) and their percentages in nutrient reference values (NRV). Consumers can choose to eat according to nutrient reference values and their own situation.
How to eat delicious Yuanxiao healthily?
Mou Ying, MD, a nutritionist at the 302nd Hospital of the People’s Liberation Army, reminded everyone that Yuanxiao is a high-calorie and high-sugar food, and it also contains oil. Therefore, eating Yuanxiao must reduce the number of staple foods accordingly. If you eat too much, it will easily increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and cause discomfort such as bloating and heartburn. At the same time, avoid frying, which will make Yuanxiao more calorie. When eating Yuanxiao, you can match some foods that are helpful for digestion, such as celery, hawthorn, barley wort, dried tangerine peel, raw radish, etc. Raw radish contains crude fiber, which can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and reduce the absorption of oil.
Pay attention to eating Yuanxiao. To sum up, there are several principles to follow when eating Yuanxiao healthily: breakfast is not suitable for eating; One or two per meal is enough; Drink some original soup to promote digestion; Do not eat hot; You can’t stutter; Do not fry and eat; Can be eaten with hawthorn, dried tangerine peel and raw radish; Try to eat it all at once, and the rest should be frozen for a long time.
Which people should not eat Yuanxiao?
Old people and children should eat under supervision. Yuanxiao is made of glutinous rice. When glutinous rice is made into porridge, it is very suitable for the elderly, but when it is made into Yuanxiao, glutinous rice balls and rice cakes, it is not easy to digest. Older people generally do not exceed one or two (4-5 capsules) per meal. Children should try to choose small grains when eating Yuanxiao, and don’t swallow them in one gulp, so as not to burn the esophagus or choke. Hot glutinous rice balls have just come out of the pot, and the temperature is very high, especially when they are filled with high-fat stuffing. If you swallow them in one gulp, it is easy to burn your esophagus. Don’t talk or distract your attention when eating Yuanxiao, so as not to swallow Yuanxiao into the airway by mistake.
People with gastrointestinal and digestive diseases should eat in moderation. Under normal circumstances, it is advisable for normal adults to eat Yuanxiao every meal with 2 Liang (8-10 capsules). But for people with gastrointestinal diseases or weak digestive function, Yuanxiao should be eaten less. Glutinous rice contains more amylopectin, which is sticky and difficult to digest, which will increase gastric peristalsis. Therefore, patients with digestive system diseases should be careful to eat it. If you need to cook Yuanxiao for a while, make it as soft as possible.
People with diabetes should avoid eating. Patients with diabetes should avoid eating items containing sugar as much as possible in their diet. Sweet Yuanxiao is needless to say, and salty Yuanxiao is also avoided as much as possible. Yuanxiao skin is made of glutinous rice flour, which contains a lot of starch, which belongs to polysaccharide; Although the stuffing is salty, it contains oil. Therefore, to be on the safe side, it is recommended that diabetics should not eat Yuanxiao. If you want to feel the festive atmosphere, you should try to eat it with meals. Eating Yuanxiao on an empty stomach will stimulate insulin secretion and cause blood sugar instability in the body. Eating after meals will lead to excessive total calories, and eating Yuanxiao with meals can avoid these two situations. When eating Yuanxiao, the rice intake can be appropriately reduced. Generally speaking, the glutinous rice flour used in three Yuanxiao is equivalent to about 1 liang (half bowl) of rice, so eating three Yuanxiao can halve the bowl of rice.
People with asthma should not eat five kernels stuffing. Peanut is one of the main ingredients in the five-kernel-filled Yuanxiao, and some allergic asthma patients may be allergic to peanuts, which is easy to induce asthma, so we must pay special attention before buying and eating.
People with liver cirrhosis should eat carefully. Because most people with liver cirrhosis will be accompanied by varicose veins of different degrees, Yuanxiao is not easy to digest, especially fried Yuanxiao, which is more likely to induce varicose blood vessels to rupture and cause massive bleeding in the digestive tract, leading to life-threatening, so patients with liver cirrhosis should not eat Yuanxiao.
Lantern and solve riddles on the lanterns are more fun.
Lantern Festival is also called Shangyuan Festival, Spring Lantern Festival and Yuanxi. The fifteenth day of the first month is the first full moon night in a year. Besides eating Yuanxiao, there are also folk customs such as hanging lanterns, lighting lanterns and watching lanterns.
Solve riddles on the lanterns is a word game derived from Lantern Festival, also called Lantern Tiger. Putting riddles on lanterns for people to guess has formed a unique folk culture. This year, People’s Daily specially prepared a health popular science lantern riddle for everyone, sending happiness as well as health wishes to everyone.
