After the passing of the $60 billion U.S. aid bill to Ukraine, how will it affect the situation between Russia and Ukraine? The United States’ $60 billion military aid bill to Ukraine has finally been approved. It is worth mentioning that in this military aid bill, there is a specific provision that requires the Biden administration to provide Ukraine with army tactical missiles. The issue of whether these missiles can be sent to Ukraine has been debated for a long time, and now it has finally been confirmed. Additionally, F-16 fighter jets will also be entering Ukraine this summer. It can be certain that Ukraine will face a significant turning point on the battlefield. Especially once the army tactical missiles and F-16s are deployed in Ukraine, the Russian military will no longer be safe in Crimea and the Black Sea. This also means that Ukraine will no longer have to engage in ground warfare with the Russians, but can directly target strategic locations like the Crimea Bridge and the entire transportation and logistical support system of the Russian military, even striking targets within Russia itself, which could lead to the collapse of Russia’s war machine.

“Yesterday talking about tough times, and today switching to new things?” Recently, Jiang Feng, the Executive Director of the China Household Electrical Appliances Association, pointed out that there is a certain misconception among many consumers when it comes to household appliances. Some believe that as long as something is not broken, it can be continuously used and as long as it can be repaired, they do not want to replace it, thinking that replacing functional appliances is a waste. Experts argue that while frugality and thriftiness are traditional virtues of the Chinese people, thinking that “as long as it’s not broken, it can be continuously used and as long as it can be repaired, it should not be replaced” is a misconception that needs to be criticized.

“You are not worthy of being here!” The Chinese Ambassador to the United States, Xie Feng, faced interruptions from Taiwanese and Tibetan protesters during a speech at Harvard Kennedy School. The protesters denounced the Chinese authorities for oppressive policies in Tibet, Xinjiang, and Hong Kong, shouting slogans like “Free Tibet,” “Xie Feng shameless,” and “Your hands are stained with blood.” Xie Feng was stunned and speechless. Protesters: “You are not worthy of being here!”

“China’s news is entering an era of ethical drama of accountability for privacy.” Recently, while watching the news, it is observed that China’s news is rapidly transitioning into an era where accountability is shifting towards privacy. After the channels for upward supervision and accountability have been gradually closed over the years, the consensus for a more open and transparent system is fading away. There is a shift towards news becoming more focused on holding individuals accountable by exposing their private lives further transparently. This may result in the proliferation of in-depth investigative reports that highlight the notion of “there must be some detestable aspects in every pitiable person.” – @午椒ao

“A classic news comparison.” There is a classic news comparison image: on one side, over 20 children with heart diseases from Afghanistan arrive in China to receive free surgical treatment; on the other side, a Chinese woman without money to seek medical treatment for her child, is left waiting to die in a rental house, where the child says they don’t want to seek medical help anymore. Today, China can provide hundreds of millions of dollars to friendly nations, spend money on various image projects, but the people have no money for medical treatment and can only resort to drastic measures like jumping off buildings. Reflecting on this, one can’t help but marvel at China’s “greatness.” – @jakobsonradical

“The decreasing number of American students willing to study in China.” According to data from the U.S. Embassy, the total number of American students studying at Chinese universities is approximately 700, a significant decrease from the 24,583 students in 2012. Currently, there are around 300,000 Chinese students studying in the United States. 27-year-old graduate student Stephen Garrett has always thought of studying in China but strict COVID-19 policies make it nearly impossible for him to achieve this goal. Now, even after China reopens, the interest in studying in China is waning. Common concerns include restricted academic freedom and the risks of being detained in China.
