The "Indo Pacific Strategy" of the United States, as a containment strategy aimed at China, is also an official political discourse. It is the geopolitical manipulation of the United States over a wide range of geographical regions such as East Asia, South Asia, the Western Pacific, and the Indian Ocean, as well as a narrative that carries the individual political goals of the United States. Due to the fact that many elements of this strategy are built on the basis of inconsistency between words and facts, it is necessary to dispel the fog of American discourse and recognize the hidden behaviors of the United States in exercising hegemony, creating opposition, and disrupting regional situations behind rhetoric such as "freedom," "openness," "peace," and "prosperity.". Since the Biden administration fully inherited Trump's version of the Indo Pacific Strategy and released a new version of the US Indo Pacific Strategy in February 2022, the United States has continuously upgraded its Indo Pacific strategy, attracting more allies and partners, and building institutions

Recently, due to the impact of typhoon and rainstorm, floods occurred in many places. Drinking water, beverages, etc. may be soaked in floods. Everyone would wonder if this unopened beverage soaked in floods can still be consumed? The answer is no.

This is actually caused by a phenomenon called capillary action. Capillary action is the automatic flow of a liquid in a narrow space without the need for any external force. When the flow space is narrow enough, the cohesion within the liquid and the viscosity between the liquid and the container wall

The seemingly unintentional details in the data graph actually reveal a purposeful direction. Recently, there have been three major news reports on the Russian Ukrainian battlefield. Of course, the significance behind this is entirely in my personal opinion, but if carefully considered, it does have a profound impact. The first thing is that Ukraine has succeeded one after another in the Black Sea. According to CNN, a huge Russian oil tanker was attacked by Ukrainian drones near the Kerch Strait in the Black Sea.

On August 4th, the French website "The Key to the Middle East" published an article titled "The Middle East, China's New Land of Expansion: Partnership Diplomacy" by geopolitical expert Emile Bouvier. The article is compiled as follows: In 2020, China replaced the European Union as the largest trading partner of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries; In the same year, the trade volume between China and Saudi Arabia exceeded the total trade volume between the United States, the European Union, and Saudi Arabia.
