Upstream news reporters found through investigation that Welfare Group presents two different images in domestic media coverage. On August 17, 2023, Pengpai News reported that the welfare group under the Liu Abao family, the richest man in Guogan, operates casinos, real estate, and other businesses. It is accused of having close ties with the local government and its influence is located in the eastern city of Old Street. On April 10, 2023, China Court Network reported that the Yuanzhou District Court in Yichun City, Jiangxi Province held a trial on a case of illegally crossing the border. The court found out that the defendant Li illegally immigrated from a small town in Yunnan to work at a casino in Kokang Welfare, Myanmar, and later left the casino to illegally immigrate back to China and was caught.

In addition to the negative image mentioned above, the positive image of the Welfare Group is that it actively participates in regional economic cooperation and domestic charity activities. On June 17, 2020, Yunnan Daily reported that Myanmar Enterprise Welfare came to the group, with his brother Liu Zhengxiang as the chairman and his brother Liu Zhengqi as the group's president. They collaborated to promote economic and trade development. On February 5, 2020, China News Network reported that Welfare Group had contacted the Yunnan Provincial Overseas Chinese Office to donate 200000 medical masks and 500000 RMB in special funds for epidemic prevention.

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
