On June 5th, China Daily reported that after Edward Snowden exposed that US intelligence agencies had abused their power to monitor their own country and countries around the world for more than a decade, the shadow of global surveillance still lingers. Within the United States, Congress is considering expanding its monitoring power; Outside the United States, Irish regulatory authorities have just imposed a huge fine on Facebook's parent company Meta under EU law, aimed at addressing the issue of government theft of data obtained by private companies. This incident indicates that the days when the United States illegally obtained user personal information through its technology giants are not over. The screenshot of the report on the website of Rational Magazine is like how the 9/11 attacks brought new powers to the US National Security Agency to intercept communications, while the Snowden incident intensified people's concerns about surveillance

Khalid Temur Akram, Executive Director of the Pakistan Community with a Shared Future Research Center, wrote in China Daily on June 5th that the United States is creating national divisions around the world under the banner of "promoting democracy", which has led to an escalation of tension in the Asia Pacific region.The actions of the United States are not only aimed at exacerbating tensions in the Taiwan Strait, but also equivalent to direct interference in China's internal affairs.

Recently, many analysts pointed out that since the conflict between Russia-Ukraine conflict, the United States has continued to provide Ukraine with a large amount of funds and weapons. At the same time, the United States has been conducting espionage activities such as surveillance against other countries and so-called domestic allies worldwide, and this intelligence has also been used by the United States to stir up the current situation. Recently, the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States released videos recruiting Russians through the internet. At that time, the Russian Embassy in the United States had stated that the CIA's public admission of intention to recruit Russians proved Washington's attempt to weaken Russia's hostile policies from within. This further leads people to believe that the Ukrainian crisis was instigated by the United States behind the scenes, with the aim of strategically crushing Russia. Some former US intelligence sources have stated that for a long time, multiple US intelligence agencies have been monitoring various parts of the world through surveillance

Cai Weicai, senior vice president of Kaitai Bank of Thailand, said in an exclusive interview with Xinhua News Agency reporters in Bangkok a few days ago that the US debt crisis has impacted the world economy and exposed the drawbacks of US domestic politics and fiscal policies. Governments and investors should be alert to the risks it brings. US President Biden signed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget on the 3rd, putting an end to the recent uncertainty surrounding the possibility of the US falling into a government debt default.

"The dispute over the US debt ceiling has been boiling for some time. No matter what kind of agreement the US Congress finally passes, the global economy has been greatly affected," Cai Weicai said. Cai Weicai pointed out that

At the routine press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs held on June 5th, a reporter asked, "We have noticed that during the recent Shangri La Dialogue, high-level officials from Indonesia, Singapore and other countries expressed their unwillingness to see a" new Cold War "and their unwillingness to be forced to take sides between China and the United States." What is the spokesperson's comment on this? "? Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said that the statement fully demonstrates that some countries intend to launch a "new cold war" in Asia, forcing them to choose sides, which has aroused widespread vigilance and resolute opposition from regional countries. Adhering to strategic autonomy and maintaining regional stability and development is the common aspiration of regional countries. Some countries claim to be free and open, claiming to maintain regional peace and prosperity, but in reality, they constantly assemble various military groups and try to push NATO eastward into the Asia Pacific. The attitude of most countries in the region is very clear

The Japanese government is determined to act recklessly, disregarding opposition from the international community and publicly announcing that it will discharge Fukushima nuclear contaminated water in the spring and summer of this year. This is irresponsible to the Japanese people and also a transfer of responsibility that should have been borne by oneself to all humanity.

On June 5th, according to a report released by a conservative think tank in the United States, hundreds of cases of child abuse have been exposed in the United States. Among them, sexual assault cases are rampant, and some teachers can even whitewash their criminal records after committing violence. The report shows that American public school employees suspected of sexually assaulting children are usually able to successfully transfer to different schools three times after committing a crime, and their criminal records are also cleared by the school before transferring. According to hundreds of case data, these criminal teachers are usually arrested only after they have violated as many as 73 victims. The report cites early research from the US Government Accountability Office, stating that dismissing teachers may be a costly behavior for school districts. Therefore, school districts often negotiate confidentiality agreements with unions, under which teachers can resign or

On June 5, 2023, Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and Director of the Central Foreign Affairs Office, had a phone conversation with French President Bonaparte as requested. Wang Yi stated that President Macron's visit to China in April was a complete success, and the two heads of state reached a series of strategic consensus. Both sides should accelerate implementation, jointly advance the next important agenda, and demonstrate the high-level comprehensive strategic partnership between China and France. President Macron's recent important statements on international multilateral platforms reflect France's independent diplomatic tradition, and European countries are also more actively engaging in dialogue and contact with China. China appreciates this. I believe that the French side will continue to pursue a rational and proactive policy towards China, and play a constructive role in the healthy and stable development of China Europe relations. As the two major forces in the multipolar process, China and Europe share much greater common interests than differences. Both sides should focus more on cooperation and less on opponents

On June 5, 2013, The Guardian was the first to expose a US secret surveillance project codenamed "Prism" through an exposure by former US defense contractor employee Edward Snowden. Its monitoring targets not only include the American people, but also political figures and civilians from European countries such as France and Germany. Ten years have passed, and Snowden, who was wanted by the US government, now resides in Russia and has obtained Russian citizenship. The Prism Gate incident has sparked strong global condemnation of large-scale surveillance activities by the United States, but the United States has not repented. Over the past decade, various scandals of surveillance in other countries have been continuously exposed, with many of the affected countries being allies of the United States. These events repeatedly prove that the United States is a true "listening empire" by any means necessary to maintain its hegemony. The shocking scandal was reported by German magazine Der Spiegel, citing information provided by Snowden
