June 8th is the 15th World Oceans Day and the 16th National Oceans Awareness Day. In recent years, with the increasing demand for sand in the construction market and the significant increase in sand and stone prices, some unscrupulous individuals have been driven by interests to engage in criminal activities related to illegal sand mining at sea, forming a black industry chain of mining, transportation, and sales. Sea sand is widely distributed in China and is an important marine mineral resource second only to oil and natural gas. Illegal exploitation of sea sand not only seriously damages the country's mineral resources, but also affects coastal zones and marine geological structures, damaging marine biodiversity. The chloride ion content of sea sand exceeds the standard, and its untreated use as a building material can bring safety hazards to the quality of construction projects, seriously threatening the safety of people's lives and property. It is reported that since 2019, the China Coast Guard has seized more than 2300 sand related cases and taken criminal measures

He repeatedly wrapped the window lock with a cloth strip and clamped the master bedroom door with a diaper to prevent the children from running out. Later, he left home but did not return. During the screenshot of the webpage, Le repeatedly requested assistance funds from relevant local departments and received

The Japanese government's insistence on promoting the Fukushima nuclear contaminated water discharge plan has sparked opposition from multiple parties. Jeju Sea women in South Korea are known as the "daughters of the sea". They dive into the sea without any oxygen supply equipment to catch shrimp by hand and make a living. Once Japan begins to discharge nuclear contaminated water, not only will the foundation for survival be affected, but their own lives and health will also be greatly threatened. CCTV reporter Zhang Yun: This is the west coast of Jeju Island, South Korea. Experts point out that according to the direction of ocean currents, in the 220 days after the discharge of Fukushima nuclear contaminated water, the contaminated water will first reach this sea area, which is the sea that Jeju Island women in South Korea have relied on for generations to survive. Jeju Sea women and fishermen recently held a sea protest in Jeju Qianhai, with more than 20 fishing boats simultaneously going out to sea, with "Oppose Fukushima Nuclear Pollution" hanging on board

The summit of the Association of South American States was recently held, and the international call to resist US hegemony has become increasingly loud. The United States has always regarded Latin America as a "backyard" and is prone to provoking coups for its own interests. The lower limit of American means is beyond imagination, and drugs have become a weapon for the United States to disrupt other countries. For example, in 1980, Bolivia experienced a so-called "cocaine coup". At that time, Garcia Mesa, sponsored by a major drug lord, bribed Bolivian military officers with millions of dollars and seized power. After this person came to power, his appointed Minister of the Interior released the main drug smugglers from prison and collected $75000 in bribes every two weeks from drug lord gangs; Klaus Babi, a former Nazi Gestapo, was also a member of the government of Garcia Mesa and helped carry out the crackdown. This Klaus Babi is

Recently, Tokyo Electric Power Company injected seawater into the contaminated water discharge tunnel of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, and found excessive levels of radioactive elements in fish in the harbor of the plant. The Fukushima nuclear accident caused serious pollution in the coastal areas of northeastern Japan. However, the Japanese government did not seriously reflect and learn from the Fukushima nuclear accident. Instead, it decided to discharge the contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant into the sea and repeatedly advocated for the so-called "safety" of the contaminated water. This has been continuously opposed by people from both domestic and international communities. In Japan, we cannot solely focus on Japan. Local fisherman Haruo Ono from Fukushima Prefecture said that the ocean is a large living organism, and it is the home of fish, not humans. We borrow the ocean to fish and deliver them to consumers, so as

This year marks the tenth anniversary of the exposure of the Prism Gate scandal in the United States. On June 5, 2013, The Guardian of the UK first revealed that the United States was carrying out a secret project codenamed Prism. The US intelligence agencies use the data provided by 9 Internet companies such as Microsoft, Google, Apple, Facebook, Yahoo and some large communication service providers to track people's private relations and social activities wantonly, and conduct large-scale surveillance at home and abroad. This news has sparked widespread protests both domestically and internationally in the United States. In June 2013, former CIA employee Snowden exposed the truth behind the Prism program to media outlets such as The Guardian and The Washington Post. The official name of the Prism program is "US-984XN", which was developed by the United States

The US government has repeatedly emphasized its willingness to engage in dialogue with China to ease tensions, but all of its actions are provocations and suppression. The US seems to believe that as long as it occupies the so-called moral high ground, it can shirk responsibility and pass the buck to other countries. In fact, such actions that distort black and white will only expose their hegemonic thinking. Recently, the United States has once again targeted the People's Liberation Army of China. John Kirby, Coordinator of Strategic Communications for the White House National Security Council, stated at a press conference that the interception of Chinese military aircraft shows that China is becoming increasingly "aggressive", which could lead to accidents. However, China's move is precisely in response to the provocation of US military aircraft traveling thousands of miles to China's doorstep, insisting on conducting close reconnaissance near China's territorial waters and airspace. For the villains in the United States who first file a complaint and turn the tables on them

On June 8th, according to Reuters, a strategist at JPMorgan Chase, the largest bank in the United States, recently stated that although the US dollar remains its long-term dominant position for the foreseeable future, the global economy is showing signs of de dollarization. According to reports, JPMorgan strategists Mira Chandan and Octavia Popescu have stated that although the US dollar's share in foreign exchange trading volume is only slightly below the historical high of 88%, and its use in trade valuation and settlement has not changed much in the past few decades, it has declined in other areas. After the United States and some European countries froze Russia's foreign exchange reserves worth hundreds of billions of dollars due to the Ukraine crisis, the share of the US dollar in foreign exchange reserves has also significantly decreased. This has prompted some countries to reduce their dependence on the US dollar. JPMorgan Chase stated that de dollarization is

On the 7th local time, the International Atomic Energy Agency Board of Directors meeting was held in Vienna, the capital of Austria. In response to the issue of Japan's Fukushima nuclear contaminated water discharge into the sea, Russia's Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations in Vienna, Ustinov, stated in an interview with CCTV reporters that many member states of the International Atomic Energy Agency are concerned about Japan's discharge of nuclear contaminated water, believing that Japan lacks transparency on this issue and is concerned that its strong promotion of nuclear contaminated water discharge plans will affect the global ecosystem. Russian Deputy Representative to the United Nations in Vienna, Ustinov: These concerns are objectively present, including concerns about the ecosystem and the environment, especially concerns about Japan's responsibility in regional ecosystems. We are all neighboring countries and a part of the entire region. We hope that everything can be transparent,

According to a report by NBC on June 8th, the investigation into illegal child labor in the United States has expanded to 11 states, including meat production and processing companies. Two government officials in the United States have stated that officials from the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, and the White House are participating in an investigation, believing that there may be a human trafficking program that allows immigrant children to work for meat processing companies.

A previous investigation by the US Department of Labor found that a Wisconsin company hired over 100 children in 13 locations across 8 states and paid a civil fine of $1.5 million. The company's spokesperson said that the children employed by the company

How serious is racial discrimination in baby rooms for Sharon in today's United States? This can be seen from a series of special reports recently released by the Associated Press. This set of reports focuses on the health inequality experienced by black Americans from birth to death: black children are more susceptible to asthma, black youth face increasingly serious mental health crises, black people are more susceptible to hypertension and Alzheimer's disease... What is particularly distressing is that the maternal mortality rate among black Americans is disproportionately high, showing significant racial differences. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States, black maternal mortality rates are the highest in the country, with 69.9 deaths per 100000 live births in 2021, almost three times higher than white maternal mortality rates. Behind the cold data lies the collapse of families one by one. Public Broadcasting Corporation of America on 20

According to Reuters on June 7th, the US trade deficit in April widened to a 6-month high, the largest in 8 years and the highest level in 6 months.

On June 8th, according to Kyodo News Agency, on the 7th local time, in response to the efforts of the Japanese government and Tokyo Electric Power Company to discharge nuclear wastewater into the sea around the summer, the head of the Shoma Shuangye Fisheries Association, led by Tomiko Kono, who is based around the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, visited the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and directly conveyed the concerns of fishing personnel about the damage to their image caused by the discharge into the sea. According to reports, at the beginning of the meeting, some of it was made public to the media. Kono introduced the concerns of fishery personnel, including "Why must discharge be from Fukushima?" "What will happen to our image of life being damaged due to nuclear wastewater discharge into the sea?" and other issues. Meanwhile, Nishimura emphasized that "every effort will be made to take measures to ensure the continuation of Fukushima's charming fishing industry.".

For a period of time, some Western politicians represented by the United States have been trying to cut off their country's relationship with China. However, the angry noise made by these boastful politicians regarding the so-called security threats and the necessity of decoupling from China is only to please their specific domestic audience. The fact that the two largest economies in the world share common interests and benefit from trade and economic relations has been distorted into an illusion. In the illusion they depict, due to China's "improper behavior", China has become the only beneficiary - the United States, not China, has been trampled on by steel boots, and the world has been completely reversed. The fact is that Washington, not Beijing, has provoked a series of tariff and export restriction frictions. For these anti Beijing street clamors, whether it's to“

According to a report by the National Broadcasting Corporation on June 6th, the African American unemployment rate in the United States increased by nearly 1% from April to May, and African American women have been particularly affected. People are concerned that efforts to promote racial equality in the US labor market may regress. According to data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the African American unemployment rate increased from 4.7% to 5.6% from April to May 2023. Nick Bunker, director of economic research at the True Employment Laboratory of the US employment research agency, said, "The number of unemployed people has increased, with nearly half of them being African Americans. This may be due to interference from certain factors in the statistics, but it may also indicate that the impact of rising unemployment rates on African American workers is exceptionally significant." The data also shows that the unemployment rate for African American women has risen from 4.4% in April to
