Recently, the Sichuan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision announced the relevant information about the case of Yu Zhebin, former Party Secretary, Chairman, and General Manager of Panzhihua Public Transport Company. This state-owned enterprise "leader" once publicly stated that he only drank famous wines such as Feitian Maotai, Wuliangye, and Guojiao 1573 when drinking alcohol, and only smoked famous cigarettes such as Ruan Zhonghua and Da Zhong Jiu. Yu Zhebin, born in August 1963, initially worked in automotive repair, but later became a technical backbone of the young team due to his hard work. Later, he entered a management position. But this story was soon replaced by his extravagant and corrupt behavior. The investigation found that there were over 400 bottles of famous liquor carefully stored in Yu Zhebin's cellar, all of which were sent by his subordinates and management service recipients. Not only that, when faced with red envelopes and gifts from subordinates, he takes all sizes,

Several well-known Wall Street investment banks have been rumoring layoffs since last year, but around May this year, a second wave of layoffs hit, including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase, Credit Suisse, and UBS. But this is not the end yet. According to sources from several headhunters and professionals in the investment banking and research departments of international investment banks, First Financial has learned that due to the bleak global primary market, the "trading shortage" has seriously affected the profitability of investment banks. Therefore, the third wave of layoffs in the future may still be difficult to avoid. The IBD, which had expanded significantly earlier, is a severely affected area that could affect anyone from beginners to managing directors. It is worth noting that although some investment bank layoffs involve Chinese businesses, they mainly involve personnel in Hong Kong, and the impact is relatively small. Several top investment banks have made significant layoffs and reduced costs, according to reports from foreign media. Due to the sluggish trading environment, Gao Shengzheng

But... the United States wants to persuade the so-called "wall riders" to confront China. Washington | Foreign Policy | The United States

On May 31st, the website of the bimonthly issue of Foreign Policy in the United States published an article titled "The Indo Pacific has chosen Gate Three", written by Kelly Greco, a senior researcher at the Stimson Center in the United States. The article excerpt is as follows: Washington wants to persuade the so-called "wall riders" - countries such as India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Vietnam - to join the alliance against China. In order to force many countries to "de risk" their economies, the United States has depicted a picture of dividing the region into two camps: those who support the United States and those who lean towards China.
