On July 26th, the website of Newsweek reported that Ukrainian President Zelensky may receive a Hollywood like welcome in Western capitals, but the Ukrainian president has already stated that the slow progress of the Kiev counterattack indicates that real war is not a Hollywood movie. According to reports, there are many reasons for the limited achievements of the Ukrainian counterattack, and the strong defense capabilities of Russia are also one of the factors. But some experts point to a less obvious factor: NATO. They said that NATO artificially set a deadline for launching a counterattack and failed to provide sufficient preparation for the Ukrainian army. "For Ukraine, this is not as smooth as they hoped," said Glenn Grant, a military analyst who provided advice to the Ukrainian military. Professor Graham Allison of Harvard University in the United States mentioned this

This week, there has been continuous positive news about the real estate market. First, a high-level meeting proposed "timely adjustment and optimization of real estate policies", followed by a call from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Rural Development. The industry believes that a new round of loose policies in the real estate market is about to unfold. In terms of specific policies, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Rural Development's proposal of "recognizing houses but not loans" has received great attention. At present, only first tier cities and a few strong second tier cities are left with strict implementation of the "house recognition but loan recognition" policy. If the "house recognition but not loan recognition" policy can be implemented, it will stimulate the recovery of the real estate market in these cities. But experts also point out that if the policy of "recognizing houses but not loans" is fully implemented in first tier cities, there may be situations where housing prices rise too quickly. The transaction volume of second-hand houses in first tier cities has been declining for several months. After the Spring Festival this year, the real estate market in core cities such as Beijing and Shanghai has rebounded, with developers and real estate brokerage companies

Spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense, Tan Kefei, answered questions from reporters regarding the Japanese government's adoption of the 2023 version of the Defense White Paper. Tan Kefei: The new version of the Japanese Defense White Paper firmly opposes the erroneous understanding of China, deliberately portrays the so-called "Chinese military threat", smears and hypes up the normal construction, development, and military activities of the Chinese military, rudely interferes in China's internal affairs, and stirs up regional tensions. We have firmly opposed this and have made solemn representations to the Japanese side. The Chinese military has always been a steadfast force in maintaining world peace and stability, never challenging anyone, let alone threatening anyone. On the contrary, in recent years, Japan has continuously broken through the constraints of the "Peace Constitution" and the principle of "exclusive defense", significantly increased defense spending, advocated the development of so-called "counterattack capabilities", and went further and further on the path of military expansion, following individual major powers to form targeted "small circles",

The picture shows the Euro logo taken on July 27th in Frankfurt, Germany. Since July 2022, the European Central Bank has initiated 9 consecutive interest rate hikes, with a cumulative increase of 425 basis points. High inflation is a key factor that prompted the European Central Bank to decide on a "nine in one" policy, and the external environment is difficult to be optimistic, which further strengthens the European Central Bank's "stability seeking" mentality. The eurozone economy has now entered a dilemma of "high inflation at the beginning and weak growth at the end", which has led to the rapid squeezing of the room for maneuver in the monetary policy of the European Central Bank. Considering the current high risk of economic recession in the Eurozone and the accumulated burden of banking and financial risk pressures from the United States, the European Central Bank still needs to maintain its composure in the future and adopt a more flexible approach to adapt to the actual situation of the Eurozone based on the "stable inflation" decision-making approach
