Comic author: Tan Xiguang Recently, US President Biden signed an executive order to establish an outward investment review mechanism, restricting US entities from investing in China's semiconductor and microelectronics, quantum information technology, and artificial intelligence fields. This is another attempt by the United States to curb China's development rights and maintain its own hegemony. The United States, under the guise of maintaining national security, politicizes, instrumentalizes, and weaponizes economic, trade, and technological issues, which is a blatant economic coercion and technological bullying. The United States is expanding restrictions on investment in China, attempting to build "small courtyards and high walls" and using the guise of "risk reduction" to engage in "decoupling and chain breaking" in the investment field, seriously disrupting the international economic and trade order and disrupting the security of the global industrial and supply chains. Urge the US to immediately withdraw its erroneous decision and lift investment restrictions on China, creating a favorable environment for Sino US economic and trade cooperation.

At 13:00 local time on August 24, 2023, amidst opposition both domestically and internationally, the Japanese government brazenly initiated the discharge of contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear accident into the sea. One hour later, the General Administration of Customs of China announced a complete suspension of imports of aquatic products originating from Japan, including edible aquatic animals. Hong Kong, China, has also suspended importing aquatic products from Japan, putting Japan in a disadvantageous situation of losing its first and second aquatic product export markets. You should know that in 2022, Japan's aquatic product exports to Chinese Mainland and Hong Kong will exceed 160 billion yen. This is the price that the Japanese government must pay for its stubbornness and beggar thy neighbor. In order to prove that it is reasonable to discharge radioactive and nuclear contaminated water into the sea, the Japanese government deliberately nicknamed it "treated water". However, as is well known, radioactive isotopes in nuclear contaminated water

In fact, this expansion is a consensus reached by Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, and its successful progress also demonstrates internal unity. The six new members from the three continents of Asia, Africa, and Latin America are all important participants in regional affairs, and their arrival will inject new vitality into the BRICS cooperation mechanism.

"BRIC" is an abbreviation composed of the first letters of the English names of Brazil, Russia, India, and China. It is translated as "BRIC" because it is similar to the English word "brick". In 2006, BRICS foreign ministers held their first meeting

He published a signed article in South African media titled "Let the Giant Ship of China South Friendship and Cooperation Sail Far Away", stating that the Ubantu ideology in South Africa advocates "benevolence and sharing", which coincides with the Confucian concept of "benevolence for the people, love for things, and universal harmony" in China. In his speech at the 15th BRICS Leaders Meeting, he said that the Ubantu spirit advocates "we are here, so I am here" and emphasizes that people are interdependent and inseparable from each other. What is "Ubantu"? What is the connotation of Ubantu's ideology and spirit? What are the commonalities between it and Chinese philosophy? Let's take a picture to understand——

The notice clearly states that when a resident family applies for a loan to purchase commercial housing, if their family members do not have a complete set of housing under the local name, regardless of whether they have used the loan to purchase housing, banking and financial institutions will implement the housing credit policy for the first set of housing. This policy, as a policy tool, is included in the "One City, One Policy" toolbox for cities to choose independently. According to officials from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Rural Development, this policy will enable more homebuyers to enjoy the down payment ratio and interest rate preferential treatment for their first home loans, which will help reduce the number of residents

On the afternoon of August 24, 2023, the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan began discharging nuclear wastewater into the sea, and there have been instances of residents rushing to purchase iodized salt in some areas both domestically and internationally. So, can we really prevent nuclear radiation by consuming iodized salt? The answer is negative! No! Iodized salt cannot prevent nuclear radiation. As early as March 2011, when the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan leaked, there was a large-scale rush to purchase salt in some parts of China. At that time, the authoritative department refuted the rumor and answered, "Eating iodized salt cannot prevent the intake of radioactive iodine, and it is unscientific to apply iodine wine to the thyroid gland to prevent radiation damage.". Taking stable iodine can prevent the deposition of radioactive iodine in the thyroid gland, but it cannot prevent external radiation and is not a radiation antidote. Iodine is an essential trace element in the human body and is the synthetic thyroid gland in humans

Have you finished the rumored "salt" you hoarded? According to reports, in the past two days, many consumers have started a "salt hoarding model", and many supermarket salt counters have been swept away. Some online platform related stores have also shown that salt is "out of stock" and "in the process of restocking.". Some netizens joked that salt cannot be used as rice. Those who follow the trend and like to hoard salt blindly, "What should be hoarded is not salt, but intelligence." Although the words are sharp, they also convey a common sense: do not hoard salt, let alone follow the trend to hoard salt. Is it necessary to hoard salt? The answer is negative. Firstly, the current structure of salt products in China accounts for 87% of well salt, 10% of sea salt, and 3% of lake salt. Both well salt and lake salt production are not affected by Japan's nuclear pollution. In short, most Chinese people eat well salt, and the country has sufficient supply, so there is no need to hoard it. Secondly, edible salt

The most prominent image in this post is the "suspect's head photo" taken by Trump during his surrender period at Fulton County Prison in Georgia. The text on the picture records the date he went to surrender and the charge of "overturning the election results", with the words "never surrender" written. It is interesting that the word "surrender" in English also has the meaning of "surrender", which seems to imply Trump's attitude towards "surrender". In addition, Trump has also attached his own website, which can be clicked on to donate to the Political Action Committee to support Trump's 2024 campaign
