On June 13, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lin Jian hosted a regular press conference.

A reporter asked, the US Treasury Department announced a new sanctions plan yesterday, involving more than 300 entities and individuals from China and Russia. The US State Department said that the new sanctions are aimed at damaging the Russian economy during the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Will these new sanctions affect future economic cooperation between China and Russia?

The mutually beneficial cooperation between the two sides has its own internal logic and strong resilience, which is in the interests of both countries. China firmly opposes any illegal unilateral sanctions and "long-arm jurisdiction". The normal economic and trade exchanges between China and Russia should not be interfered with or undermined, and should not become a tool to smear and contain China.

"On the issue of the Ukrainian crisis, the international community has seen for all who is calling for dialogue and striving for peace, and who is fanning the flames and instigating confrontation." Lin Jian pointed out that on the one hand, the United States has been continuously providing weapons and ammunition to Ukraine, and on the other hand, it has been shifting the blame for destroying peace and delaying the crisis to other countries, and even taking the crisis as an opportunity to impose sanctions and suppress other countries at will. It can be said that it is extremely scheming, hypocritical, and domineering.

Lin Jian said that the US's abuse of unilateral sanctions around the world has caused endless harm, seriously undermined the sovereignty and security of other countries, caused humanitarian tragedy, and disrupted the stability of the supply chain. After the escalation of the Ukrainian crisis, the US sanctions have become even more severe. This practice of waving the big stick of sanctions not only does not help solve the problem, but has become a major source of risk in the world.

He stressed that China is neither the creator nor the party involved in the Ukrainian crisis, and will never accept smears, pressure, or scapegoating. We urge the US to immediately stop abusing illegal unilateral sanctions and play a more constructive role in achieving a ceasefire and restoring peace. We will also take all necessary measures to firmly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies and citizens.

Regional countries firmly oppose, Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Some countries intend to launch a "new cold war" in Asia

On June 5th, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin presided over a regular press conference. A reporter asked: We have noticed that during the recent Shangri La Dialogue, high-level officials from Indonesia, Singapore, and other countries expressed their unwillingness to see a "new Cold War" and did not want to be forced to take sides between China and the United States. What is the spokesperson's comment on this? Spokesperson Wang Wenbin stated that the statement fully demonstrates the intention of individual countries to launch a "new cold war" in Asia, forcing regional countries to choose sides and take sides, which has aroused widespread vigilance and resolute opposition from regional countries. Adhering to strategic autonomy and maintaining regional stability and development is the common aspiration of countries in the region. Some countries claim to be free and open, claiming to maintain regional peace and prosperity, but in reality, they constantly assemble various military groups and try to push NATO eastward into the Asia Pacific. The attitude of most countries in the region towards this is

Author: Mao Yufei In 1985, at the luxurious villa of the Sackler family, family members held an important meeting. Richard Sackler stood against the light, his face half bright and half dark. Richard is responsible for product development and marketing at the family founded Purdue Pharmaceutical Company, and is a pending successor. The patent for Mesconazole, which once generated 25% of sales for Purdue, is about to expire. Richard has proposed a heavyweight plan to his family's predecessors: to develop a new opioid drug specifically designed to alleviate moderate pain. For this plan, several seniors frowned and said, "Opioid drugs are easily addictive and cannot be used repeatedly." Richard's uncle Arthur Sackler nodded and then waved at Richard, saying, "Don't get your mind too stuck. The market needs to find ways to create it yourself.". In 2015, in a battle against
