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

June 5th is World Environment Day. The theme of World Environment Day set by the United Nations this year is "reducing plastic and picking up plastic". The theme of China's June 5th Environmental Day is "Building a Modernization of Harmonious Coexistence between Human and Nature". In the current context of prominent global ecological and environmental issues, these themes embody the hope of humanity to jointly address environmental challenges and build a clean and beautiful world. The Earth is the home on which humanity relies for survival. However, it is facing increasingly severe challenges. Every year, over 14 million metric tons of plastic enter and damage aquatic ecosystems. Currently, more than 3 billion people worldwide are affected by ecosystem degradation. Environmental pollution causes about 9 million premature deaths each year, and over 1 million species of flora and fauna are at risk of extinction. Global warming is expected to rise by 1.5 degrees Celsius or even earlier around 2040... United Nations Environment

Suspend the implementation of the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty! Russia's statement: unwavering decision | Russia | New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Riyabkov stated on the 3rd that Russia's decision to suspend the implementation of the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty is unwavering and does not depend on the response measures of the United States. He also urged the United States to abandon its fundamental stance of being enemies with Russia. Riyabkov said that if the United States insists on using "ultimatum like" language, Russia will not accept dialogue conducted under this premise. He pointed out that due to the hostile policy adopted by the US, the pillars of the Russian US military control system are on the verge of collapse, and even in a state of "semi death". He emphasized that the condition for Russia's return to the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty is for the United States to abandon its fundamental position of being enemies with Russia. Riyabkov also said that according to the relevant treaties signed in 1988, Russia and the United States will still inform each other about the launch of intercontinental ballistic missiles and submarine launched missiles

Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology approved China Mobile to conduct 5G ground to air communication technology experiments in relevant provinces in China using some of its 4.9GHz 5G frequency resources for high-precision positioning. This technology will establish a ground to air communication link between the ground and the aircraft cabin, enabling passengers to access the Internet through wireless LAN access in the cabin, which will further enhance the spatial dimension of 5G network coverage and better meet the growing air access Internet needs of air passengers. The coverage range of 5G networks is becoming increasingly wide from the ground to the sky. Can such a wide coverage of 5G networks have other uses besides communication? The answer from Professor Deng Zhongliang of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications is "yes". "5G+Beidou" is exactly the answer given by Deng Zhongliang. 5G is an above ground network
