On the afternoon of August 16th, a symposium on the protection and utilization of the Chu Great Wall culture was held in Zhuxi County, Hubei Province. Experts and scholars from all over the country gathered together to devote themselves to the protection and utilization of the historical and cultural resources of the Chu Great Wall, create a cultural business card of the Great Wall, and promote the integration of culture and tourism development.

The Chu Great Wall in Zhuxi is located in Guanya, at the junction of present-day Hubei and Shaanxi provinces. It is a cultural heritage shared by both provinces and has a history of over 2700 years. The Guanya Site is one of the important relics of the Chu Great Wall and an important strategic fortification used by the Chu State to resist the Qin State. It spans the border between Hubei, Chongqing, and Shaanxi, and there are still four sites within the Zhuxi area.

The Guanya Site is in the shape of a boat, located horizontally in the center of the mountain, with its head and tail sloping upwards along both sides of the mountain. It is about 300 meters long from north to south and about 50 meters wide from east to west, surrounded by thick rammed earth city walls. A building is built in the center of the "boat cabin", and mountain fortresses and drum platforms are built on both sides of Guanya.

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
