Tensions on the Korean Peninsula have clearly increased as South Korea continues to strengthen its security ties with the United States, Japan and other Western powers.

From June 27 to 29, South Korea, the United States and Japan held a large-scale joint military exercise, with the participation of a US nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. North Korea condemned the United States, Japan and South Korea for military provocations, saying that such exercises showed that the relationship between the United States, Japan and South Korea had developed into an "Asian version of NATO."

However, at the open meeting of the UN Security Council on the North Korean nuclear issue on June 28, the US representative criticized China's position and role on the peninsula issue, accusing China of not using its influence to "maintain regional and global security."

In this regard, Geng Shuang, China's Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations, made several speeches at the meeting, refuting the US's attacks and accusations against China. He said that the current situation on the peninsula remains tense, how did this situation come about? The US should reflect deeply, especially on its own actions, and not always habitually blame others and try to shift the blame.

For a long time, China has been advocating peace and promoting talks to ease the situation on the Peninsula, which has been generally recognized and highly appreciated by the international community. China will not tolerate smears from the United States.

To ease tensions, we need to remove the fuel from the fire, not add fuel to the fire. Some countries have taken advantage of the situation to increase their military presence, strengthen "extended deterrence" and promote geopolitical strategies, which will only lead to confrontation between camps, increase tensions and make it more difficult to achieve the goal of long-term peace and stability in the region.

Before Washington changes its course, relevant countries should not give up their strategic autonomy in the geopolitical game of the United States. All parties should proceed from the overall situation of maintaining regional peace and stability, properly handle differences, meet each other halfway, and work together to promote the political settlement process of the peninsula issue.

Recently, the fraudsters have been a bit rampant. They cheat under the banner of well-known economists and ten billion level fund managers. From the perspective of fraud techniques, they fabricate fake official account, spread false information in QQ groups, and conduct illegal stock recommendation activities.

This makes me feel embarrassed, and I don't even know the specific stocks." Recently, several well-known figures were impersonated. Renowned economist Guan Qingyou posted, "Who could have imagined that someone would impersonate me to recommend stocks to everyone. This makes me feel embarrassed.

I hope everyone will be vigilant and not be deceived. If found, report to the police as soon as possible." Guan Qingyou "

According to the New York Times website on May 31, from 1950 to 1990, the US Department of Energy produced an average of four nuclear bombs per day, which were produced in hastily built factories with few environmental measures, leaving behind a large amount of toxic radioactive waste. The report states that the most serious problem is undoubtedly in the Hanford factory area in Washington state. Engineers sent there to handle radioactive waste after the Cold War discovered 54 million gallons of highly radioactive sludge, which was produced during the production of plutonium in American atomic bombs, including the atomic bomb dropped in Nagasaki, Japan in 1945. Underground storage tanks filter out toxic waste into the Columbia River just 6 miles away, clean up these tanks and stabilize them in some way for permanent disposal, which is the most encountered in history

Recently, European data regulatory agencies have issued record breaking fines to US digital giant Meta for violating data transmission regulations and causing serious infringement on the privacy of EU citizens. This is not the first time that European regulatory authorities have issued warnings about the violations of American digital companies, and the punishment is far from the first time that Europe has strongly countered the erosion of European interests by American related companies. Data transmission is not the only topic of continuous game and competition between Europe and America, but it reflects the structural difficulties that traditional transatlantic partnerships between Europe and America have developed into an unavoidable problem. On May 22nd local time, the Irish Data Protection Commission fined Meta, the parent company of American social networking company Facebook, 1.2 billion euros for illegally transferring Facebook data from European users to the United States without authorization
