CAAV: Gradually resume international flights at the end of 2021
According to the Vietnam News Agency, in the latest report submitted by the CIvil Aviation Administration of Vietnam (CAAV), the agency predicted that due to the acceleration of covi vaccination in Vietnam and the world in the second half of 2021, international flights from Vietnam may gradually resume by the end of 2021.
According to statistics from the CAAV, currently, about 30 foreign airlines from Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and France operate cargo flights to and from Vietnam and carry diplomats, experts, investors, skilled workers, foreign students, on relief flights.
For Vietnamese airlines, while international passenger flights have not yet resumed operations, airlines have vigorously developed domestic routes, and their frequency and number of routes have soared. However, the CAAV predicts that aviation activities in 2021 will be better than last year, especially in key markets for Vietnamese aviation in Northeast Asia and Europe. It helps to achieve herd immunity and lays the foundation for the gradual reopening of international air transport activities at the end of the third quarter and early fourth quarter of 2021.
Based on the above evaluation, the CAAV predicts that the Vietnamese aviation market will begin to recover in the third quarter of 2021. It is estimated that the passenger traffic of various airports in Vietnam will exceed 70 million in 2021.
Regarding the airport infrastructure, the CAAV stated that in the first half of 2021, the aviation department has completed and put some major airport projects into operation on schedule to meet the needs of airlines to resume flights after the fourth wave of covid epidemic.
In the first half of this year, the passenger traffic of various airports in Vietnam reached 26.8 million, a year-on-year decrease of 19.4%. Among them, international tourists reached 145,000, a year-on-year decrease of 97.9%, and domestic tourists reached 26.7 million, a year-on-year increase of 1.4%; cargo throughput reached 66.8.10,000 tons, an increase of 12.7% year-on-year.

Study: Moderna vaccine is effective against Delta (Covi72)
A study by the American pharmaceutical company Moderna found that the covi vaccine developed by the company is effective against Covi72.
Researchers from the pharmaceutical company tested the sera of eight people one week after receiving the second dose of Moderna vaccine. They found that the antibodies produced by the vaccine can neutralize all the variant viruses that were tested, except the virus originated from China, the ability to resist Wuhan virus is weak.
The data also shows that the Moderna vaccine produces antibodies against Covi72 to be more effective than the Beta variant virus strain (Covi51).

1/10 party members were dealt with, Xi asked to "dare to sacrifice"
On 29 June, the CCP held a "July 1st Medal" award ceremony in the Great Hall. In his speech, Xi Jinping stated that Communists have "personal power" and must "be innocent and do things cleanly" and maintain their political qualities of "cleanliness and integrity".
Xi Jinping demanded that "the whole party must always believe in, love, and serve the party", "the more difficult and dangerous the party, the more forward", and "dare to sacrifice." He praised those medal winners who "can see it in normal times, stand out in critical moments, and stand out in times of crisis."
President Xi said that communists have "personal power" and must "be innocent and do things cleanly" and maintain their political qualities of "cleanliness and integrity". However, Xiao Pei, deputy secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, said at a party celebration press conference yesterday (28th) that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, a total of 4.09 million people have been investigated and dealt with, and more than 8.83 million people have been criticized for helping and handling education. Since the 19th CPC National Congress, 42,000 people have voluntarily surrendered.
According to the official statistics of the Chinese Communist Party, as of the end of 2019, the total number of CCP members was 91.914 million. According to the figures reported by the CCP, it means that in the past eight years, nearly one in ten CCP members have been dealt with, and nearly half have been investigated and punished.
For such a bad party, Xi Jinping said that communists have "personal power", and I don't know where this "personal power" comes from. If this is called "innocence," "cleanness," and "incorruptibility," I really suspect that there is a problem with the IQ of the Beijing leader, or whether there is a problem with non-standards. A bad party, who would love it and believe it? In addition to maggots, those who love dunghills are flies.
Xi Jinping also asked people to "get it out of danger in times of crisis," which is equally terrifying. In movies and TV, we often see the gang boss telling Ma Zai, "You have to die" and "You have to give it to me" if something goes wrong. Such remarks were also heard from Xi Jinping's mouth.
To be honest, I am worried for the mainland compatriots. The CCP itself is a cesspit, and we are desperately pulling people out to keep people away from the cesspit. If a person stays in the cesspool for a long time, God will never allow this kind of life to survive. When God cleans up this evil gangster party, all those who run with the CCP are very dangerous.
In fact, it is the Beijing leader who is even more dangerous, because Xi Jinping has taken the initiative to bear all the evil responsibilities of the CCP.

"I will have no self" again, Xi Jinping is in danger
In Xi Jinping's speech, he also repeated an old saying in 2019, "I will be without me and live up to the people."
This sentence was said during his visit to Italy in 2019. At that time, the Speaker of the Italian House of Representatives Feico asked him what it was like to be the President of China. He said that the responsibility is heavy and the work is arduous, and then he threw out the phrase "I will have no self and will not bear the people".
In fact, this sentence is not particularly problematic in the language environment at the time. However, President Xi repeated "I will have no self" again at the party's celebration ceremony, which is an ominous omen.
When Xi said this, he might hope that all members of the CCP would like him to "fight for the party" and achieve a state of "selflessness".
But everyone has a question: what kind of person can be "selfless"? "No-self" means forgetting oneself, and the state of "selflessness" may emerge only when they merge with each other. In other words, what he said is actually telling people that he has become one with the CCP.
We all know that now is the time when the CCP is destroyed by the sky, but he took the initiative to say "I will have no self" and expressed the meaning of being one with the CCP. Isn't it very dangerous?
There are also two things worth noting, which also show that the Beijing authorities have integrated with the CCP, and even the leaders of Beijing took the initiative to shoulder the crimes committed during Jiang Zemin's time.
Jiang Hu did not show up to celebrate the party, Xi Chaoyue served as party leader
The first thing is the political elders of the CCP, some of whom did not participate in the two-day activities.
At today's (29th) commendation meeting, the former leaders of the Communist Party of China Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao, former Chinese Prime Minister Zhu Rongji, Wen Jiabao and others did not show up. In the large-scale performance held at the Bird's Nest Stadium last night, none of these CCP political elders showed up.
People can still understand Jiang Zemin's lack of appearance, because news of Lao Jiang's death has been circulating wildly. Even if he hasn't breathed, he is already a living dead with the soil buried in his lips. This may be possible.
There is a phenomenon that the CCP originally planned to hold a large-scale performance today (29th). But suddenly the "adjustment for some reason" was held yesterday (28th). The authorities did not explain why. Could it be that Lao Jiang's life is in danger, and Beijing fears that Lao Jiang's death will add to the frustration?
But Hu Jintao's body has always been tough, as are Zhu Rongji and Wen Jiabao. They didn't show up for such a big event of the CCP. There should be an article here.
Some analysts believe that this is the collective "lying down" of the CCP's political elders and boycotting Xi Jinping. It is possible. Because Xi Jinping turned all the way to the left after the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, he seemed to have brought China back to the crazy Cultural Revolution era.
It was also around this time that there were rumors in the market that Hu Jintao, Zhu Rongji, and Wen Jiabao were extremely dissatisfied with Xi Jinping. Especially Wen Jiabao, it is said that he once said to Xi Jinping, "We have said what we should say, you can take care of it." But now, the advice of Hu, Zhu, and Wen obviously did not work for Xi.
Therefore, if Hu, Zhu, and Wen do not show up, there is a problem of being active and passive. The initiative is that they may not want to take this muddy water, and find an excuse to deliberately distance themselves from the current Beijing leader, and do not want the sky to fall and everyone will die.
On the passive side, it is because of disagreements and disapproval of each other's eyes, so Xi Jinping may not send out the invitation. Since you can't understand me, don't come.
The day before yesterday (27th) the Chinese Communist Party's official media Xinhua News Agency released the centennial memorabilia of the Chinese Communist Party, with more than 90,000 characters in the full text. Among them, the nine years of Xi Jinping's administration accounted for about one-third of the space, with more than 30,000 words.
In the entire article, the name of Mao Zedong, the founder of the Communist Party of China, is mentioned 138 times, and Deng Xiaoping, the second generation of the Communist Party of China known as the "chief designer", mentioned 78 times. As for Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao, there were only 40 and 32 times respectively. The name of "Chief Accelerator" and the current party leader Xi Jinping, commonly called by overseas netizens, appeared 184 times.
In other words, in the history of the Communist Party of China, Xi Jinping has boasted that he has surpassed the previous leaders of the Communist Party of China, even the old Mao.
In other words, the Beijing authorities believe that they have contributed the most to the CCP. However, the CCP is recognized as a demon and has made a great contribution to it. Doesn't that mean that it means that it is the most abused? What will happen to the people who help the abuser the most in the future?

Continuation of the five-year traitorous treaty
The second incident actually happened during the video meeting between Xi Jinping and Putin. In fact, we talked about this issue on 28 June, but we didn't explain it thoroughly on an important issue.
The Chinese Communist Party's official media reported on the Xi Pu meeting, only Xi Jinping said, and said nothing to Putin. Later, I checked the report of the Russian Satellite News Agency and saw that Putin was not silent, and it was impossible not to speak.
According to the Russian Satellite News Agency, after Xi Jinping finished saying that the "Sino-Russian Treaty of Good-Neighborliness, Friendship and Cooperation" is in the interests of the two countries and needs to "continue to unite and move forward with determination," Putin said a word.
Putin said, "The important thing is that the two countries have determined that they have no territorial requirements for each other and are determined to turn the common border into a zone of permanent peace and friendship."
Why did Putin suddenly say during the video meeting that "there is no territorial claim to each other"? What is the overtone of this sentence?
Everyone knows that at the border between China and Russia, there is a place called Vladivostok, which is called Vladivostok by the Russians and Vladivostok by the Chinese. This Chinese territory, equivalent to more than one hundred Taiwan, was later invaded and occupied by Russia for more than one hundred years.
In 1999, Jiang Zemin gave Vladivostok to Russia in order to cover up the scandal with his old Russian lover Krava. At the same time, Jiang Zemin also acknowledged the 9 unequal treaties between China and Russia, cutting off the path of recovery for future generations.
Even so, as a true Chinese, he has never given up returning to the land left by his ancestors, and has never recognized the land sold by Jiang Zemin.
In 2001, Jiang Zemin and Russian President Vladimir Putin signed the "Sino-Russian Treaty of Good-Neighborliness, Friendship and Cooperation", which contained 25 articles and was valid for 20 years. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the signing of this treaty.
However, after the video meeting between Xi Jinping and Putin, the two sides issued a joint statement stating that the "China-Russia Treaty of Good-Neighborliness, Friendship and Cooperation" was officially extended for another five years. In other words, the current Beijing leader does not want to return the land that Jiang Zemin sold out. The traitorous treaty lasted for another five years, until 2026.
Jiang Zemin's crimes of traitorousness will be completely liquidated by the Chinese people no matter what time it comes, and this account has always been there. Now Xi Jinping has continued for another five years on the basis of Jiang Zemin’s traitorous treaty. Does this mean that the current Beijing authorities have taken the initiative to bear a share of Jiang Zemin's crimes of traitorousness?
Xi Jinping once said earlier, "Don't look at you having a good time today, be careful to pull the list in the future, this will all be fulfilled." I don't know if this kind of result will be fulfilled on him, I think it is certain.

Hong Kong media have been shut down all over the place, the villain still pushes 23 articles
In fact, there are also Hong Kong’s newly promoted Chief Secretary for Administration Li Jiachao and Security Director Tang Pingqiang. The two men were appreciated by Beijing because they were good at doing evil, so they became more vigorous in doing evil. They mentioned 23 draconian laws that were opposed by 500,000 Hong Kong people in 2003, saying that "it must be done and done as soon as possible."
Article 23 of the Basic Law and the Hong Kong version of the National Security Law are laws concerning national security. These wicked people will continue to be more spicy, and a rope will be wrapped around the people of Hong Kong. In fact, for now, the level of terror in Hong Kong is no less than that in Mainland China.
On 28 June, Hong Kong Internet media winandmac decided to withdraw from Hong Kong, and "852 Post" also temporarily removed all films.
Winandmac, which has been operating in Hong Kong for 11 years, announced that the freedom of the press in Hong Kong is no longer what everyone is familiar with. In addition, he has been threatened by unknown intimidation in the past year or two, so he decided to move overseas.
The founder of "852 Post", You Qingyuan, stated in a YouTube video that the film was removed overnight because "Stance News" prepared for the possible extinction and the arrest of "Apple Daily" chief writer Feng Weiguang, showing that the situation has taken a sharp turn. The filming mode is no longer supported, and only early transformation.
The day before yesterday (27th), "Stance News" removed the reprints and commentary articles published before May this year, and suspended accepting sponsorship. He Yunshi and other 6 people resigned as directors.
The two programs of Radio Hong Kong, "Viewpoint 31" and "Five Nights Lecture" are also facing the fate of being terminated. Guest host Liang Qizhi said on Facebook that he had received a notice of the suspension of the show. It was originally scheduled to be recorded today (29th), but I don’t have to go now. In addition, "Viewpoint 31", which is broadcast every Tuesday, is no longer in today's program schedule.
"Free Wind Free Phone" host Ou Jialin choked up when saying goodbye to the audience in the last show yesterday (28th). Ou Jialin told "Hong Kong 01" that RTHK's decision to terminate his presidency was "100% political judgment." Some people do not like his speeches and articles written outside the radio station, and the RTHK management cannot accept his articles about monitoring and criticizing the government. Although he did not bring his personal opinion into the program of Hong Kong and Taiwan.
In response, the Hong Kong Journalists Association stated that the "white terror" in Hong Kong has become ubiquitous. The Hong Kong Journalists Association is extremely worried about the media's need to remove reports and comment on safeguarding safety, or even the entire organization leaving Hong Kong to protect safety.
Several Hong Kong reporters were arrested and the US company remained silent
Seeing the CCP and the Hong Kong Communist Party do this, I finally understand that "the hell is empty" originally meant this. But at the same time, I also have some concerns, because some large American companies that have extensive ties with the Chinese Communist Party have remained silent about the situation in Hong Kong.
"Washington Freedom Beacon" pointed out today (29th) that since June 17th, at least seven Hong Kong journalists have been arrested, but Apple, Google, Nike and the NBA have not expressed their views on this.
The article pointed out that these companies ignore the CCP’s human rights violations because of their interests behind the CCP. But these companies are the most outspoken when it comes to so-called American social justice issues.
Apple CEO Cooke expressed his commitment to "maintaining freedom of the press and prospering democracy" in 2019, but this is limited to Western countries. In areas under the rule of the Chinese Communist Party, it is a crime to support democracy and freedom of the press, so Apple completely ignores its own values. The New York Times pointed out earlier this year that Apple's so-called civil liberties and privacy commitments "do not apply to China."
Google once had a motto "Don't be evil", but in 2018, Google has deleted this motto. At that time, Google was hoping to reach an agreement with the CCP to launch the search engine the CCP needed in China.
On the 24th of this month, Nike CEO John Donahoe said in a conference call, "Nike is a brand that belongs to and serves China." American companies such as Nike and Apple have been lobbying the U.S. Congress to abolish legislation that prohibits imports of slave labor in Xinjiang.
Like Nike, the NBA is also outspoken in the cause of social justice in the United States, but because of their interests in China, they are unwilling to express their views on the CCP’s human rights violations. ESPN, the CNN network, released an investigation last year, pointing out that Xinjiang’s NBA training academies are "full of complaints of physical abuse."
In fact, I said long ago that there is no neutrality between justice and evil. How to choose is not only a manifestation of a person's wisdom, but also a manifestation of courage. And if you choose the right one, you will often get more generous rewards.

Goodness in human nature: You donate vaccines, I'll repay
Recently, a social welfare institution in Lithuania received 87 consecutive donations.
Zhang Yingren, the Asia-Pacific manager of the US non-profit organization "Give to Asia", shared a letter from this social welfare organization on Facebook, showing that all the donors are from Taiwan. Taiwanese people who donated via online platforms left messages, "Love from Taiwan", "Taiwan loves Lithuania" and so on.
What is going on here? I believe everyone has heard that during this epidemic, Taiwan’s procurement of vaccines from some vaccine manufacturers has been blocked by the CCP and all vaccine manufacturers succumbed to the CCP for greater benefit, making it very difficult for Taiwan to purchase vaccines.
For this reason, the United States and Japan did not fear the pressure of the CCP, and successively donated vaccines to Taiwan. Subsequently, Lithuania, one of the three Baltic countries, also announced on the 22nd of this month that it would donate 20,000 doses of vaccine to Taiwan.
As we all know, Lithuania has an area of only 6.5 square kilometers and a population of approximately 2.8 million. For this small country, donating 20,000 doses of vaccine to Taiwan is very rare. Because according to the actual situation, the epidemic situation in Lithuania is much more serious than that in Taiwan. More than 270,000 cases were confirmed and more than 4,000 people died.
When I feel difficult, I can still lend a helping hand to Taiwan. This kind of friendship is by no means a question of more or less vaccines. With this kind of courage and morality, Lithuania has crushed some G7 countries, which is really saving lives.
For this reason, after Lithuania announced its donation of vaccines to Taiwan, President Tsai Ing-wen of the Republic of China, Vice President Lai Qingde, Minister of Foreign Affairs Wu Zhaoxie, etc. responded with high-profile and praised and thanked Lithuania.
I have said that the most beautiful scenery in Taiwan is Taiwanese. I have repeated this sentence many times. The people of Taiwan are very caring and know how to learn about Entupa. This is also the tradition of the Chinese nation. To receive the grace of dripping water should be repaid by the spring, not to mention the grace of life-saving.
So this happened. After Lithuania announced the donation of vaccines to Taiwan, the people of Taiwan took concrete actions to express their gratitude to Lithuania.
This "high-risk pregnancy center" in Lithuania serves socially and economically disadvantaged pregnant women and their children. The "High Risk Pregnancy Center" provides these people with services such as material and psychological counseling. This has become a target for Taiwanese people to repay their kindness.
At the beginning, the Acting Chief Executive Officer of the "High-risk Pregnancy Center" Nivelyne may have "counted the donations over the past few months", but when she opened the report and looked at it carefully, she found that all the donations came from Taiwan, and the donations were still there. Keep coming in. Some people attached messages "Love from Taiwan", "Thanks from Taiwan", "Taiwan loves Lithuania" and so on.
Nivelene said, “I don’t know how to express my gratitude. The kindness of the human heart always surprises me. I hope that the vaccine donated by our country to your country can save precious lives, and your donation will also save Lithuania. Human life, thank you very much!"
Zhang Yingren was also moved by the people of Lithuania and Taiwan. He wrote on his Facebook page, “The more difficult it is, the warmer it is to help; the things that can’t be bought are more precious.”

July 1 is approaching Cai Xia: The CCP is more fragile than it looks
The U.S. policy of engagement with China for decades has once again attracted attention. Cai Xia, a retired professor of the Central Party School of the Communist Party of China, urged the United States to abandon its “naive” hopes for this policy, while warning that the leadership of the Communist Party of China is actually a paper tiger, more fragile than it looks.
The Wall Street Journal reported on June 29 that Cai Xia, a former professor at the Central Party School in Beijing, will submit a book to the Hoover Institution this week and publish a 28-page long article on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Communist Party of China. In her long article, she emphasized that the US engagement policy over the past four decades has only consolidated the inherent hostility of the CCP leadership towards the United States, and under the leadership of Xi Jinping, China (the CCP) no longer believes the engagement policy is useful.
"China Day" stated that more and more Western politicians and analysts believe that the US foreign policy toward China has not brought any benefits.
Cai Xia: The Chinese Communist Party has the ambition of a hungry dragon, but it is just a paper tiger
Cai Xia wrote that the United States’ hopes for an “engagement policy” must be replaced by “sane defensive measures” to protect the United States from aggression by the CCP. At the same time, it exerts offensive pressure on the CCP, because the CCP is much weaker than the Americans imagined.
"Hua Ri" stated that in Cai Xia's view, the CCP is superficially powerful, but under the leadership of Xi Jinping, contradictions and self-doubt have become more obvious. "The CCP has the ambition of a hungry dragon, but inside it is just a paper tiger." Cai Xia wrote.
She wrote that Washington should prepare for the possible "sudden collapse" of the party.
Cai Xia believes that in the past few decades, US policymakers have misconsidered many major events, from restoring US-China relations after the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989 to supporting China's accession to the World Trade Organization. The "innocence" of the United States makes the CCP bolder. Although the U.S. government describes China (the CCP) as a competitor, Chinese companies have always regarded the U.S. as a hostile opponent.
Cai Xia said that the CCP is afraid of American power. This is reflected in how the CCP’s official policy speech avoids triggering confrontations that may threaten the party. For example, she said, fearing that the term "rise" might be viewed as confrontational by Washington, the authorities replaced the popular description of China's pursuit of "peaceful rise" with the term "peaceful development."
This long article "Insider’s Perspective" (Insider’s Perspective) was published at the time of the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party.

Two videos of Cai Xia scared the CCP
Cai Xia, 68, taught ideology to CCP officials at the highest training institution of the Communist Party for 15 years, until she retired in 2012. She once came to the United States as a tourist. The outbreak of COVID-19 interrupted her plan to return to China.
In September last year, a recording of Cai Xia was circulated on the Internet. In the recording, Cai Xia analyzed the situation of the Communist Party of China and the country in detail, and analyzed the situation that caused the current situation. That is, there is no way for 90 million people to take one person (Xi Jinping). In fact, it is determined by the nature of the system.
In the recording, Cai Xia also analyzed the three ways of the CCP's eventual collapse: relying on external wars to resolve; relying on internal party reforms; internal pressure was too great, and finally overwhelmed and suddenly collapsed.
In the first recording released in June last year, Cai Xia once criticized the CCP as a "political zombie." The CCP system has no way out. Reform is useless. The CCP must be abandoned.
Cai Xia was subsequently expelled from the Party School of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and cancelled her retirement benefits. "Hua Ri" stated that this limits the possibility that she may return to China safely.
In December 2020, Cai Xia published an article titled "The failed party, a system insider broke with Beijing" in Foreign Affairs magazine.
"After 20 years of hesitation, confusion, and pain, I decided to step out of the darkness and completely break with the CCP. Xi Jinping's great retrogression quickly left me with no choice." Cai Xia wrote.

Chen Yonglin: Cai Xia will be more aggressive in exposing the CCP because she is a member of the system
Chen Yonglin, the former political consul of the CCP Consulate General in Sydney, said that Cai Xia has been committed to developing the party's ideology for many years, which makes her more credible than many other CCP critics outside of China. "Her attacks on the Communist Party of China will damage the teachings and system of the Communist Party of China, because she comes from within the system." Chen Yonglin said, after all, the party school is the "brain of the Communist Party of China."
Beijing is using the party’s centuries to tout Xi Jinping’s achievements. Scholars like Cai Xia are also using this anniversary to warn that Xi Jinping's authoritarian leadership style is leading the country in dangerous directions.
Andrew Nathan, a professor of political science at Columbia University, pointed out in an article written for The Wall Street Journal over the weekend that China is undergoing a generational shift, and more people with free thinking have come forward. Conducive to the long-term prospects of the CCP."
Larry Diamond, a senior researcher at the Hoover Institution, issued a statement in response to Cai Xia’s long article: “For the first time, we have an important figure from within the Chinese Communist system who bravely confirmed many American scholars on China the most recent argument."

TIFA talks Tsai Ing-wen: Simplifying the import and export of vaccines is an important agenda
President Tsai Ing-wen said that Taiwan-US relations are close and friendly. TIFA is a platform for both sides to discuss important economic and trade issues. It is great to see the further development of dialogue with the United States. (Provided by the Presidential Palace)
After 5 years, the 11th Taiwan-US Trade and Investment Framework Agreement (TIFA) talks will resume on 30 June. President Tsai Ing-wen said on 29 June that there is an important agenda for the talks, which is to simplify the import and export procedures of vaccines and medical supplies. These substantive cooperation will bring important benefits to epidemic control. She asked the negotiating team to go all out.
The 11th TIFA will resume the talks via video. The representative Xiao Meiqin in the United States and the Director of the American Association in Taiwan (AIT) Brent Christensen will open the meeting. Yang Zhenni, Deputy Chief Negotiator of the Economic and Trade Negotiation Office of the Executive Yuan will represent Taiwan, meeting with U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) officials.
Tsai Ing-wen said through a video conversation on the 29th that TIFA is a platform for the institutionalization, dialogue and negotiation of Taiwan-U.S. economic and trade. Only with the launch of this platform can we systematically conduct economic and trade dialogues and deal with bilateral economic and trade issues. The deepening of economic and trade relations is of great importance.
She said that any substantive issues discussed in TIFA are to lay the foundation for a more solid Taiwan-US economic and trade partnership. During the TIFA talks, Taiwan will organize Taiwan-US bilateral trade issues and review the accumulated issues in the past. As well as the current trade issues in response to the new international situation, we will discuss them one by one, and jointly build the structure, principles and procedures for Taiwan and the United States to deal with related issues, so that the discussion of bilateral trade issues and the global issues that Taiwan and the United States face together can be structured. , Advance rhythmically.
She said that the TIFA talks also have an important agenda, which is to simplify the import and export procedures of vaccines and other medical supplies. These substantive cooperation will bring important help to Taiwan's current epidemic control, and the negotiation team must go all out.
Tsai Ing-wen said that peace, prosperity and development in the Indo-Pacific region is the common goal of all countries in the region. Controlling the epidemic in Taiwan and reducing economic fluctuations can contribute more to the peace and prosperity of the Indo-Pacific region. Therefore, it is undoubtedly an important step to launch TIFA, a dialogue platform and trusted partners, to face and solve problems together, and to promote bilateral, regional and global trade processes.

Italian Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio told the ministers of the major G20 economies: "The pandemic highlights the need for international responses to emergencies that cross national borders."
G20 members account for more than 80% of the world’s GDP, 75% of global trade, and 60% of the planet’s population. Officials from various countries who attended the Matera meeting in person included senior diplomats from the United States, Japan, Britain, France, Germany, and India.
The foreign ministers of the Communist Party of China, Brazil and Australia chose video to attend the summit. Russia and South Korea sent deputy foreign ministers to attend.
In view of the virus crisis, the United States took the lead in calling for strengthening global cooperation at the G20 meeting, while the CCP believes that multilateralism should not be just a slogan.
German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said before the meeting that he believed that China and Russia provided COVID vaccines to improve their status in certain countries, and he expressed dissatisfaction with this.
US Secretary of State Blinken said at the G20 Foreign Ministers' Summit, "With regard to these challenges and many others, a strong multilateral system is essential."
Blinken called for efforts to "strengthen global health security so that we can better detect, prevent and respond to future health emergencies."
He pointed out that the United States has committed to provide US$2 billion for COVAX, which is an initiative supported by the United Nations to vaccinate low-income countries; and President Joe Biden, in addition to providing the world with 80 million doses of US-made vaccines from US stocks, It also promised to manufacture and donate 500 million doses of Pfizer vaccine.
Agence France-Presse reported that Biden’s vaccine initiative and part of Blinken’s attendance at the meeting were to demonstrate the strong leadership of the United States in the face of the expansion of the CCP. The Biden administration regards the CCP as the world’s biggest challenge.

Republicans in the House of Representatives put a new round of pressure on the Democrats and the Biden administration, asking them to take specific measures to force the CCP to take responsibility for the epidemic.
At noon on Tuesday, Republicans held a Republican hearing on the issue of tracing the origin of the CCP virus. They heard the opinions of expert witnesses. Among the witnesses was Brett, who served as Assistant Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services during the Trump administration. ·Brett Giroir.
Rep. Mo Brooks said that he himself was convinced that the Wuhan Virus Research Institute had caused the CCP virus outbreak. He also said that if the "laboratory leak theory" is not established, the CCP must also be responsible for the irresponsible spread of a natural virus. Take economic responsibility, “because China (the Chinese Communist Party) lied about the physical properties of COVID-19 and helped spread the epidemic - allowing its citizens to travel extensively internationally while being infected”.
During the CCP virus pandemic, more than 600,000 people died in the United States. In addition, US companies and workers suffered severe economic losses during the long-term closure measures.
In early April this year, senior Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives Jim Banks (Jim Banks) called on the Biden administration to take action to hold the CCP responsible for the CCP virus epidemic, demanding compensation for its huge economic losses, and reporting it to the International in The Hague Court.
The states of Mississippi and Missouri in the United States are actively advancing lawsuits against the CCP, requesting the CCP to be responsible for the global CCP virus epidemic and claiming huge claims against it. Among them, Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch (Lynn Fitch) has issued a subpoena to the CCP and several ministries and commissions.
US President Biden issued an order on May 26 to require intelligence agencies to conduct a more careful examination of the origin of the CCP virus pandemic-whether the virus came from nature or a laboratory within 90 days.

U.S. lawmakers propose to hold the CCP accountable, otherwise 10% tariffs will be imposed
In response to calls from all walks of life in the United States for the CCP to compensate for the COVID-19 epidemic, Alabama Congressman Mo Brooks proposed a new bill requiring the CCP to pay compensation to Americans. A 10% tariff is imposed on Chinese goods.
"It is clear that China's (CCP) negligence, recklessness, or deliberate misconduct against the COVID-19 virus has caused the United States to lose trillions of dollars." Brooks said in an interview with Fox News on Tuesday (June 29), "Therefore, , China (the CCP) should be responsible for compensating the loss of the United States."
Brooks’ proposal includes: If the CCP does not pay, the United States will immediately impose a 10% tariff on all products manufactured in China and imported into the United States. These tariff funds will be transferred to a "COVID-19 Compensation Trust Fund" similar to the "9/11 Victims Compensation Fund", which will be used to pay for businesses and families that have died, fell ill or suffered economic losses due to the CCP virus. The money will also be used to compensate the US federal, state, and local governments for their work in response to COVID-19.
Brooks believes that the CCP has caused the plague to spread to the world, just like the perpetrators in a car accident, and are responsible for compensation. He told Fox News: "If you are in a car accident and knocked down someone, it is your fault, then you should compensate the injured party for the losses suffered."

Republicans introduce bill to strengthen oversight of recipients of NIH grants
US Congressman Mike Turner introduced a piece of legislation to ensure the supervision and transparency of all grantees and sub-recipients receiving research funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
The source of SARS-CoV-2 is still inconclusive, and more and more people worry that the covid epidemic may be caused by a leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). The institute indirectly accepts NIH funding.
The EMPOWER NIH Act was formulated in response to the lack of oversight of funding provided to the non-profit organization EcoHealth Alliance. EcoHealth Alliance received funding from NIH and then gave these research funds to Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Some people suspect that the Wuhan Institute of Virology misused these funds to conduct functional enhancement experiments on the coronavirus (CCV), thereby making it more deadly, and this was prohibited by the NIH at the time.
"The United States once blindly believed that all federal funds for health research are used to fight disease. However, this pandemic has exposed how American taxpayers have unknowingly funded dangerous research and put global health at risk. "Turner said: "My bill, the EMPOWER NIH Act, will establish the necessary oversight, transparency, and accountability measures for the federal appropriation process."
According to NIH data, the agency uses nearly 50,000 grants each year to spend US$41.7 billion in research. Current regulations do not require inspections of research facilities unless the grantee makes a formal complaint.
NIH did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

WHO no longer recommends extensive testing for asymptomatic COVID-19 cases
U.S. lawmakers proposed a bill to instruct relevant departments to investigate the World Health Organization. The picture shows the WHO headquarters. (Public domain)
The World Health Organization (WHO) said in its latest guidelines on detection strategies for COVID-19 (disease caused by the Chinese Communist virus) that it currently does not recommend extensive screening for people without symptoms, citing problems with this strategy and effectiveness.
The guidelines point out, “At present, it is not recommended to conduct extensive testing for asymptomatic people, including self-testing, because there is a lack of evidence on the impact and cost-effectiveness of this method, and there is concern that this method may divert resources for higher priority testing indications. "
However, WHO told the Epoch Times reporter via email, "Countries that have the resources and want to extend testing to the general public (with or without symptoms) should prove that they have the necessary public health infrastructure to deal with positive results, and the resources It will not be misappropriated from the detection of suspected cases. This is the top priority."
The WHO said, “Tests should be targeted at the places that are expected to have the greatest impact on public health,” adding: “This means that all people suspected of having COVID-19 (according to the WHO definition) based on symptoms of people with diseases) should be tested first. "Regardless of his vaccination status or disease history."
But in areas where the virus is spreading in the community, anyone who has been in contact with a suspected or confirmed case should still be quarantined for 14 days, regardless of whether they have symptoms or have not been confirmed to be positive.
