For a period of time, the United States has frequently hyped up the "China threat" under the guise of "national security". Recently, there have been repeated attacks on China's newly revised Anti Espionage Law, playing the role of distorting black and white and creating a groundless threat to US national security, fully exposing the selfish, hegemonic, and hypocritical nature of US national security. Selfishness: adhering to the principle of "America first" and "absolute security", the US government can force Japan to sign the "Plaza Accord" in order to compete for the market for domestic enterprises, arrest French Alstom executives for "long arm jurisdiction", and impose high tariffs on other countries, including allies and partners; It is also possible to continuously launch war machines for the benefit of the domestic military industrial complex, incite regional conflicts and crises in other countries, seize the opportunity to sell weapons, and reap the dividends of war. by

Recently, it was reported online that a hospital has issued a notice to implement a 40 hour workweek based on feedback and rectification requirements from special work inspections, and to cancel weekend overtime pay and staggered subsidies. The source of this news is unknown, but it has sparked a heated response online. A doctor netizen said, "Cancel overtime pay? How come I've never seen overtime pay before?" Another person said, "I work 80 hours a week now, I don't know when I can halve my work?" Several doctors interviewed by First Financial reporters said that the 40 hour workweek sounds like a "fantasy", and their basic weekly working hours are usually between 60-80 hours, which is often the norm. Moreover, many large medical institutions in Shanghai do not have the concept of "overtime pay", and some doctors from top tier hospitals in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces

Economic observation: Consumers should be given the right to choose whether to renew their apps as soon as possible. Last week, CCTV Finance Channel named multiple apps as having "automatic renewal" issues, which sparked heated public opinion. The so-called APP automatic renewal, in simple terms, refers to consumers who originally wanted to only open a membership for one month but were automatically charged the next month, or simply wanted to experience a membership service at a low price for two days but were automatically charged one month's membership fee by the platform after experiencing it. During this process, some apps not only do not provide significant prompts, but also intentionally display key information such as automatic renewal in small font or font fading, misleading consumers. From the perspective of the Consumer Rights Protection Law, consumers have the right to independently choose goods or services, so the choice of whether to renew an APP is in the hands of consumers. The issue of automatic renewal involves

According to Newsweek on the 12th, former US President Trump gave a vague six word answer to reporters about whether to attempt to overturn the 2020 election results while taking a walk around the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines. When the reporter asked him, "Have you ever planned to overturn the 2020 election results?" Trump replied, "You know the answer," and turned around to look straight away.

According to a study published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology on August 9th, an international research team found that walking only 2337 steps per day can reduce the risk of death from heart and vascular diseases, and walking 3967 steps per day can reduce the risk of death from all diseases. Scientists have collected 17 related studies and analyzed data from 226889 people, finding that the more you walk, the greater the benefits to your health. Taking an additional 500 steps per day reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease mortality by 7%. Taking an extra 1000 steps every day reduces the risk of death from all diseases by 15%. Research has found that even if people walk up to 20000 steps a day, the health benefits continue to increase, and no upper limit has been found yet. There is also strong evidence to suggest that a sedentary lifestyle may lead to an increase in cardiovascular disease and lifespan
