The Economist, July 31, article, original title: An astonishing number of Americans cannot die in 2019. Even before the outbreak of the COVID-19, in Perry County, Kentucky, the United States and its surrounding areas, people of all ages are likely to die. On average, by 2019, the life expectancy of Perry County residents was only 69 years, while the average life expectancy in the entire United States was 79 years.

In the past three years, these figures have worsened due to the COVID-19 epidemic. A study found that in 202

On August 2nd, the top cancer research institution in the United States, Hope City, developed a drug that can kill all solid cancer tumors, which attracted a lot of attention. According to the latest paper published by the R&D team in Cell Chemobiology, this AOH1996 targeted chemotherapy drug has shown "enormous potential" in preclinical research. In early research, this new "anticancer" drug was found to be able to "eliminate" various solid cancer tumors. However, this drug has just started the first phase of clinical trials and there is still a long way to go before it can be successful. Linda Marcus, an oncology professor who has shown that preclinical studies are effective in killing cancer cells without damaging healthy cells, explains that most cancer targeted therapies focus on a single pathway, which leads to the development of "cunning cancer cells"

The article is compiled as follows: It is hard to imagine that the Albanese government may further harm Australia's sovereignty, international integrity, and national interests.

The 2023 Australian US Ministerial Regular Consultation Meeting announced the establishment of the Australian Joint Intelligence Center within the Australian Defense Intelligence Organization.

Wang Lixia once again mentioned the "lesson of blood" at the meeting, saying that in the crucial matter of safety production, being indifferent is the most terrifying, being numb is the most terrifying, and dealing with it is the most terrifying; To engage in formalism and bureaucracy is to disregard people's lives, to play politics as a joke, to play discipline and rules as a joke, and to play the safety of people's lives and property as a joke. Tuition fees must not be paid in vain, and the lessons learned must be learned. We must truly root the sense of responsibility of being constantly at ease in our hearts and put it into practice. We must thoroughly investigate and study the implementation of responsibilities, investigate and rectify, supervise and rectify, and conduct training exercises to address prominent issues. We must not ignore them

Comic author: Ma Hongliang. Recently, the United States has been attracting some countries to hype up the so-called "China's economic coercion" and using it as an excuse to "counter" China. This is once again the United States smearing China and labeling it indiscriminately. The reason why the United States frequently hypes up so-called "economic coercion" is twofold: firstly, it makes excuses for unjustified suppression of China; secondly, it confuses the public and uses "new concepts" to package hegemonic behavior as self-protection "counter coercion". In fact, the international community can clearly see who indiscriminately launches sanctions, who vigorously exercises long arm jurisdiction, and who is the culmination of coercive diplomacy. China promotes mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation, which is a more inclusive and balanced common development. Fabricating lies to contain China will only accelerate the credibility bankruptcy of the US side and allow more people to see the truth.

Recently, commentator Le Shui from China Net stated in a public event that US President Biden was "worried" that China's infrastructure construction ranks second in the world, while the US only ranks fourteenth, and the US may not be able to lead the world. This is not the first time Biden has expressed concerns about the gap in infrastructure capabilities between China and the United States. At the beginning of taking office in 2021, Biden was envious of China's high-speed rail speed and proposed that the United States should also vigorously develop high-speed rail. However, more than two years have passed, and Biden's "high-speed rail dream" remains like a mirage without any progress. At the same time, China's high-speed rail added 4250 kilometers within two years, with a total mileage of 42000 kilometers, continuing to maintain the world's first place. In fact, Biden's concern lies not only in the widening infrastructure gap between China and the United States, but also in the so-called "leading the world" of the United States

On July 31st, the Pentagon announced an extension of its previous contract with a subsidiary of the US military giant General Dynamics, allowing the company to continue providing maintenance services for the Abrams main battle tank. This contract, worth 33.8 million US dollars, is just the tip of the iceberg that General Dynamics has gained additional benefits due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Although the conflict has brought serious personnel and economic losses to Russia and Ukraine, it has resulted in huge profits for American military giants and their affiliated military industrial complexes. It is well known that the US military industrial complex has made war profits, and even an employee of the country's asset management giant BlackRock said that war is "too beneficial" for business. Both Ukraine and Europe have bought a lot in Camden, Arkansas, USA

Some American politicians are best at labeling and slandering other countries, and recently they have been vigorously promoting the so-called "China economic coercion theory". The United States forcefully labels China as "economic coercion" and encourages allies to encircle and contain China, reflecting its intention to create a "new cold war" in the economy. The United States is engaging in economic coercion, causing global harm. Economic coercion has always been a standard feature in the US foreign policy toolbox. Relying on the hegemony of the US dollar, by cutting off the supply and trading channels of the US dollar to other countries, limiting the channels of US dollar financing and trading, and exerting pressure and sanctions on other countries; By using various trade control measures such as sanctions, import and export restrictions, and tariffs, the United States has established numerous trade control lists... Through practical actions, it has provided the world with numerous cases of economic coercion. The United States is engaging in economic coercion and undermining economic globalization
