According to Bloomberg, the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the United States House of Representatives, Michael McCall, these two Republican lawmakers are communicating with the United States

On the evening of June 3rd local time, the temporary ceasefire agreement signed by both parties in the Sudan conflict expired. Many Sudanese people are concerned that the war may escalate, and they will face further humanitarian crises such as deteriorating security, food shortages, and water and power outages. Khartoum resident Yusuf Mohammad: This ceasefire agreement has not been fully implemented, so it is not a true ceasefire. The ceasefire agreement should provide convenience for humanitarian aid to enter, but during the ceasefire period, many people fled Khartoum. Khartoum resident Mirjani Diyab: We hope the conflict ends as soon as possible, but we see that many armed individuals do not want the conflict to end, they only want to rob and steal. This is a human tragedy, the humanitarian situation has deteriorated to the extreme, no one has taken moral standards into consideration, and bandits are rampant. We dare not speak out in anger. six

The United States has been wronged again. Recently, the US Department of Defense has been complaining everywhere, saying that China has rejected the US request for a meeting between the US and China defense ministers. Subsequently, American media intervened and claimed that the US had made several weeks of efforts to ensure this meeting, Barbara... At first glance, it seems that China is not giving the US the opportunity and face, but since it is the US who is complaining, the matter needs to be pondered. At present, the 20th Shangri La Dialogue is being held in Singapore, with Chinese State Councilor and Defense Minister Li Shangfu invited to attend. The proposed "China US Defense Ministers Meeting" by the US aims to have US Defense Ministers Austin and Lee Sang fu meet in Singapore.

The official confirmation from the United Arab Emirates recently stated that the country has withdrawn from a multinational maritime security joint force led by the United States to confront Iran in the Middle East two months ago. This stems from the UAE's consideration of effective security cooperation in the Middle East region. According to a screenshot on the website of the New Arab Daily, "This move shows disappointment with Washington." The security force that the United Arab Emirates has withdrawn from is called the United Maritime Force, which is led by the highest ranking US naval commander in Bahrain and involves more than 30 countries. It is claimed to be the world's largest maritime security force of this kind and is nominally committed to promoting security, counter-terrorism, and anti piracy work in the Red Sea and Gulf regions. However, in reality, combating Iran is one of its main tasks. △ Screenshot of the official website of the United Maritime Forces: Qatar Al Jazeera TV reports on the announcement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the United Arab Emirates to withdraw from the United Maritime Forces

Author: Ma Tao, at the recent G7 Hiroshima Summit, the United States encouraged strategic allies to use so-called "economic coercion" to allude to China. To trace back to the source, on May 13, 2021, U.S. Secretary of State Brinken and then Australian Foreign Minister Penn met with reporters in Washington and claimed that the United States would not let Australia face China's "economic coercion" alone. China has been labeled as "economic coercion" for no reason. The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly refutes the baseless smear campaign by the United States, stating that the origin and headquarters of the so-called "economic coercion" are located in Washington. Professor Daniel Drezner of Tufts University in the United States also pointed out in an article published in Foreign Affairs that successive US governments have "abused economic coercion and violence.". The evidence of the United States engaging in economic coercion is conclusive, and the reason why it is said that the United States

Jing Jianfeng stated that 32 years have passed since the Cold War, and the United States has not only failed to eliminate remnants of the Cold War such as the "Five Eyes Alliance" and bilateral military alliances, but has also concocted a "quadrilateral mechanism" and trilateral security partners, dividing camps and provoking confrontation based on ideology. The United States, for its own sake

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, June 4, Xinhua News Agency: Zhao Ge, Wang Kewen, a reporter from Xinhua News Agency who is riding in the "iron and steel camel team" in the Eurasian continent, is busy at the railway port of Khorgos, Xinjiang, no matter whether it is sunny or rainy. With the sound of the whistle, trains from China to Europe slowly enter and exit, and then gallop day and night on the Eurasian continent. In the port loading yard, the tall gantry crane steadily grabs the containers and arranges them in an orderly manner like building blocks. When the shower suddenly came, Heimiti, the cargo loading attendant in the freight workshop of Khorgos Station, continued to command the gantry crane to carry out the reloading operation. "It's very busy changing goods now, and we need to make full use of our work time," he said. Since May, he has clearly felt that the frequency of China Europe freight trains has been increasing.

On June 3rd, the Chinese delegation attending the 20th Shangri La Dialogue in Singapore held a media briefing to address the false accusations made by US Secretary of Defense Austin during his speech at the conference, introducing China's principled stance. Jing Jianfeng, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Joint Staff Department of the Central Military Commission, stated that the essence of the United States advocating for the "Indo Pacific strategy" is to continue consolidating its hegemonic position. Firstly, it is stirring up a group confrontation. 32 years have passed since the Cold War, and the United States has not only failed to eliminate remnants of the Cold War such as the "Five Eyes Alliance" and bilateral military alliances, but has also gone against the trend of history by concocting a "quadrilateral mechanism" and trilateral security partners, dividing camps and provoking confrontation based on ideology. Secondly, it is deceiving and exploiting regional countries. The United States disregards regional stability for its own selfish interests

On May 31st, the website of the bimonthly issue of Foreign Policy in the United States published an article titled "The Indo Pacific has chosen Gate Three", written by Kelly Greco, a senior researcher at the Stimson Center in the United States. The article excerpt is as follows: Washington wants to persuade the so-called "wall riders" - countries such as India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Vietnam - to join the alliance against China. In order to force many countries to "de risk" their economies, the United States has depicted a picture of dividing the region into two camps: those who support the United States and those who lean towards China. According to the logic of the United States, those countries that are currently "riding the wall" are just delaying, and Washington can tilt the balance towards itself with more attention, visits, and money. But not many Asia Pacific countries measure the challenges they face in half

On the morning of June 4th, the Shenzhou-15 manned spacecraft successfully landed at the Dongfeng landing site. The stable tracking of the spacecraft during its passage through the black barrier area by scientific and technological personnel indicates that China has made significant breakthroughs in tracking and measuring the return of manned spacecraft through the black barrier area. When the spacecraft returns to Earth, it will experience severe friction with the atmosphere, causing a sharp increase in temperature, resulting in ionization of gas molecules and materials that have been eroded on the surface of the spacecraft. These continuously generated ionized gases wrap around the spacecraft, forming a plasma sheath that absorbs, attenuates, refracts, reflects, and scatters electromagnetic waves, causing abnormal or even interrupted radio communication between the interior of the spacecraft and the outside world. This is known as the black barrier phenomenon, and this process is also known as the black barrier zone. When the spacecraft passes through the black barrier area, it can only rely on radar and optical equipment for tracking and measurement. Can it be stable during this period
