Price increases, service discounts, and decreased experience... For a period of time, while the sharing economy has been expanding in scale, the pain points of user consumption have become increasingly apparent, causing many controversies. As a new form of economy, the sharing economy cannot remain stagnant. It should strengthen the concept of refined operation, attach importance to consumer experience, promote model innovation, and balance the relationship between user growth and development quality. The sharing economy emphasizes sharing and sharing, intensive development, and efficient utilization, which can solve problems such as resource mismatch and supply-demand imbalance. By eliminating information barriers and reconstructing trust relationships, it promotes the efficient flow of factor resources. Data shows that the trading volume of China's sharing economy market was about 3832 billion yuan last year, a year-on-year increase of about 3.9%, and its driving effect on economic and social development cannot be underestimated. Currently, the market structure of the sharing economy is accelerating

Biden is worshipped inside David's camp, but there is no way to talk. At the invitation of US President Biden, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and South Korean President Yoon Seok yeol are scheduled to hold a trilateral summit with Biden at Camp David near Washington on the 18th. In recent days, the governments of the three countries have been high-profile in promoting the historic summit of "entering a new era" and "setting the tone for the century". However, even some US officials and experts acknowledge that the summit is only one day long and will discuss a series of issues covering security, economy, and technology. The actual effect may not be as expected. The Camp David summit on the 18th will be the first separate trilateral meeting between leaders of the United States, Japan, and South Korea. According to reports, South Korea, the United States, and Japan have held 12 trilateral summits in the form of international conferences since 1994, but this is the first time a separate summit has been held. This is also the David Camp, which has been a US presidential resort since 2015

The various information released in advance indicates that the trilateral summit of leaders of the United States, Japan, and South Korea to be held at Camp David in the United States on August 18th will sound the horn towards a "new cold war", which is ominous for Northeast Asia and even the entire world. The Korean Peninsula issue is a legacy of the Cold War, and the legacy of the old Cold War has not yet been resolved. South Korea on the peninsula is also a founding member involved in promoting the "new Cold War". This is not a coincidence in history, as there has always been a black hand extending from across the Pacific manipulating it in secret. We can now roughly piece together the basic shape of this summit: it is committed to building a new security group under the banner of maintaining "common security" in form, highlighting ideological and value opposition in means, and having distinct exclusivity, competitiveness, and camp opposition in action

On August 17th, according to a report by USA Today on August 15th, the wildfire on Maui Island in Hawaii, USA, has not yet been fully controlled. However, real estate investors from the mainland of the United States want to take advantage of this disaster and purchase survivor properties for land development, causing strong dissatisfaction among the local indigenous people. Since the wildfire on Maui Island in Hawaii, American real estate developers have been using social media to approach residents whose homes have been damaged. Many residents of Maui are worried that their land will fall into the hands of property developers from other places, and they are warning each other on social media that such information may be fraudulent. The Federal Trade Commission of the United States has also warned that scammers usually target victims after disasters occur, and people affected by wildfires on Maui may become victims of scammers.

On August 17th, Qatari Al Jazeera TV reported that since the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan in August 2021, the risks faced by Afghan people who have worked for the US military in their own country have multiplied, and their survival and safety are full of uncertainty and fear.

The report states that although the withdrawal of Western countries from this war-torn country has been welcomed by certain sectors of Afghan society, for thousands of people, the chaotic withdrawal of the United States has led to

Berlin, August 17th (Xinhua) - "Removing risks" and "decoupling" from China are not in line with Germany's interests - Interview with Li Chao, founder and chairman of the Schiller Institute, a German think tank.

This is a photo taken on July 10th of the X8008 China Europe train returning from Duisburg, Germany to Xi'an International Port Station. Xinhua News Agency reporter Zhang Bowen said that the term "de risk" is just a rhetorical game, and its core point is still "decoupling". In fact, Germany does not face any risks from China.

Recently, some American and Western politicians and media have been using various methods to smear China, falsely claiming that a slowdown in China's economic growth may pose risks to global economic development. This kind of argument is not new. Whenever there are fluctuations in China's economic indicators, the voice of criticism will spread widely, but in the end, it will be criticized by reality. The effective and stable development model of China cannot change the bright prospects of the Chinese economy, and China remains an important engine of global economic growth. It is not difficult to see from the perspective that certain politicians and media in the United States and the West always wear colored glasses and vigorously criticize China's economic data, cutting off one-sided and short-term data to slander the Chinese economy and disrupt development confidence. However, the development of the Chinese economy has not only not collapsed, but has also been continuously improving, causing the bearers to face disappointment time and time again

Recently, Ukraine has begun firing US provided cluster ammunition into the Russian military. Cluster bombs, also known as "steel rain," are highly controversial. Because once detonated, they can expand their attack range by releasing a large number of small bombs or bullets. Moreover, they often accidentally hit or fail to detonate landing, posing a fatal threat to civilians. When the United States decided to transfer cluster ammunition to Ukraine, which had been banned by more than 120 countries, the world was shocked. What is even more surprising is the changes in the attitude of the United States before and after. In 2022, the United States also stated that the illegal use of cluster bombs could constitute a "war crime", but just one year later, the United States itself sent the cluster bombs to Ukraine. An article in Foreign Policy magazine in the United States states that "such behavior should not surprise us: when a country is in trouble,"

On August 16th, the Hong Kong Asia Times website published an article titled "The Anglo American Alliance in Australia is increasingly under attack" by Matthew Sussex, Associate Professor at the Griffith Institute for Asian Studies in Australia. The article is compiled as follows: The Australian Labour Party began holding this year's national conference on August 17th.

Skeptics include opponents of nuclear weapons and energy, anti American lobbying groups, and those who do not trust the military industrial complex.
