Zombie like drug addicts and homeless people in rags gather on the streets, with piles of garbage and feces piled up like mountains... This is the current situation on Kensington Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. A drug called "methylthiazide" is flooding the drug market in the United States, and Kensington Street, which is plagued by drugs, has become a rotting "zombie land". In June 2023, the Philadelphia Department of Health released a report stating that approximately 90% of drug users in Philadelphia have the ingredient methylthiazide in their bodies. This type of drug, known as "zombie medicine," can cause a series of symptoms such as difficulty breathing, loss of consciousness, and skin ulcers in users. "Drugs have become the biggest public health problem in the United States." According to a previous report by the United Nations, the United States is the world's largest consumer of drugs, with about 60% of the drugs produced globally being imported into the United States. two

On July 15th, China News Agency reported that after "decoupling", "risk reduction" has become a new term for some Western countries to handle their relations with China. Whether it's "de risk" or "decoupling", the change in rhetoric on the surface has not changed the essence of some politicians in the United States and the West attempting to "de Sinicize", nor does it mean that their strategy towards China will truly change. In fact, "de risk" towards China is a false proposition. The term "risk" itself includes a negative attitude towards China. "Risk reduction" is a financial term that is defined by the official website of the US State Department as the behavior of financial institutions to avoid risks, end or restrict business dealings with certain types of customers. However, the West has now abused and generalized this concept. US National Security Advisor Sullivan once said in explaining the "de risk" policy towards China, "de risk."

On July 15th, according to Kyodo News Agency, on the 14th local time, Japanese Minister of Economy and Industry, Nishimura Yasuhiro, held talks with President of the National Fisheries Association of Japan, Yasushin Sakamoto, to seek understanding on the discharge into the sea. Yashin Sakamoto stated that his stance against the discharge of Fukushima nuclear contaminated water into the sea has not changed. At present, the Japanese nuclear contaminated water discharge equipment has been completed. The report states that the Japanese government intends to concretize the launch period of the "summer before and after" plan for sea discharge, but has not yet gained the understanding of fishery personnel. "My only wish is to continue working in the fishing industry with peace of mind," said Yashin Sakamoto. According to reports, on that day, in addition to the President and Vice President of the All Fisheries Federation, there were also officials from fishing organizations in Aomori, Iwate, Miyagi, Fukushima, and Ibaraki counties attending the meeting. Yashin Sakamoto stated that there were repeated demands at the meeting for the government to "effectively respond"

With the delivery of cluster ammunition provided by the United States to Ukraine and handed over to the Ukrainian military, this incident has raised concerns among the international community. Professor and political analyst Manyola from the University of Nairobi in Kenya stated that the United States is acting solely for its own benefit, disregarding the opposition of the United Nations and the international community, and the harm of cluster ammunition to civilians and the environment. This is very dangerous and irresponsible. Manyola, a professor of political analyst at Nairobi University: I think that normal and innocent people in the world will condemn such acts of the United States. In the context of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, we need to take measures to ease tensions, rather than further accelerate the world towards destruction. We need to end the war, and the United States provides cluster munitions, which is moving in the opposite direction. Manyola stated that in the NATO meeting held a few days ago

In recent days, Japan's strong push for the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant's plan to discharge contaminated water into the sea has sparked opposition from the international community. Serbian scholars have stated that once nuclear contaminated water is discharged into the sea, it will pose great risks to marine ecology and human health, and its long-term harm cannot be ignored. Japan should avoid actions that harm all humanity. Ivona, Deputy Director of the Serbian Institute of International Political Economy, believes that in order to deal with the nuclear contaminated water formed after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear power plant accident, the Japanese government ultimately chose the lowest cost "nuclear contaminated water discharge into the sea" plan, but did not take into account the risks and hazards that this plan brings to marine ecology and human health. Ivona, Deputy Director of the Serbian Institute of International Political and Economic Research: These nuclear contaminated waters, even after so-called "purification," still pose a threat to the ecosystem and people

Not long ago, a United Nations special envoy was granted permission to visit Guantanamo Prison for the first time. The investigation results show that there are still 30 detainees at Guantanamo Prison, of which 19 have never been charged with any charges. For many years, these "terrorist suspects" identified by the US have been subjected to "cruel, inhumane, and degrading" treatment in prison, leaving many people with serious mental and physical trauma as a result. And the US government still refuses to release these prisoners. In 2002, the US military established a prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to detain suspects arrested by the US military in global counter-terrorism operations after the 9/11 attacks. For over 20 years, Guantanamo Prison has repeatedly exposed scandals of prisoner abuse and torture, becoming a notorious "human rights black hole". Although multiple US governments have verbally claimed to close Guantanamo Prison,

According to the Associated Press on July 14th, there were 28 large-scale killings in the first six months of this year, making it the deadliest six months since 2006. From January 1st to June 30th this year, the United States experienced 28 large-scale killings, with only one unrelated to firearms, resulting in 140 deaths. Tennessee Republican Brent Latherwood said, "This is a terrible milestone. You never thought your family would be part of such a statistical data." In March of this year, a shooting incident occurred at the school where Latherwood's three children were located, resulting in six deaths. James Allen Fox, a professor of criminology at Northeastern University in the United States, said, "There have been 28 killings within 6 months, which is a staggering number. In the past, incidents typically occurred within a year."

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, July 14: Another step in aligning the course of China US relations Xinhua News Agency reporter Gao Wencheng, Director of the Central Foreign Affairs Office, Wang Yi, met with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken of the United States at request in Jakarta, Indonesia, on the 13th, stressing that the consensus reached by the two heads of state at the Bali meeting should be truly translated into concrete actions. Since then, Antony Blinken visited China and reached an important consensus with the Chinese side to return to the Bali agenda. When he came to Beijing, US Treasury Secretary Yellen made it clear that he would implement the instructions of the meeting between the two heads of state. The frequency of interaction between China and the United States has accelerated recently, and bilateral relations have shown a positive momentum of returning to the consensus of the two heads of state and aligning the development direction of relations. The two heads of state met in Bali, Indonesia last year and reached a series of important consensus, pointing the way for China US relations. However, a series of erroneous statements and actions by the US that harm China's interests have led to a serious deviation of the US China relationship from the two yuan relationship

On July 11th, a man watched an exhibit simulating the dispersion of cluster ammunition by the US military at the Vientiane Exhibition Hall in Laos. The US government recently announced an additional $800 million worth of military aid to Ukraine, including large lethal cluster ammunition classified as prohibited by US law. Cluster ammunition is a weapon with strong lethality, significant harm, and the potential to pose a long-term security threat to civilians. This move has sparked widespread criticism both domestically and internationally in the United States. Continuing to stir up regional tensions, according to a statement from the US Department of Defense, the decision to provide cluster ammunition to Ukraine was made by the Biden administration after extensive consultations with Congress, US allies, and partners. The list of weapons and equipment in the statement shows that the cluster ammunition for this aid to Ukraine was fired from 155mm caliber howitzers, and the specific quantity has not been announced.

And this kind of "freedom" is real in China. I have an amazing set of data here. In the United States, the probability of a person becoming a victim of violent crime is 70 times higher than in China. This is not just to say, during my 7 years in China, not only have I never encountered or witnessed it myself
