CCTV News:Road traffic safety cannot be ignored for a moment. Recently, another scene of shock occurred in Baoding, Hebei Province.

　　A mother riding an electric bicycle, carrying her two children, ran a red light across the road and was knocked down by a car coming sideways. A boy was directly involved in the bottom of the car.

　　At about 3: 28 pm on the day of the incident, at the T-junction of the traffic lights in Chen Zhuang, Wangdu County, a woman with two children was driving an electric bicycle from north to south. At this time, the traffic lights in the north-south direction were red. The woman did not stop and wait, but did not hesitate to pass the red light; At the same time, the signal light from west to east turned green. After the signal light turned yellow and the light flashed, a white car turned left and accelerated through the intersection, just colliding with the electric bicycle, knocking it down and rolling a boy in the car under the car. After the accident, the driver of the car immediately stopped to save people and reported to the police.

　　Bai Qiumei, Hebei Baoding Traffic Police Detachment:There were three people riding the electric bicycle, mother and son, all of whom were injured to varying degrees. The boy in the back seat couldn’t afford to fall to the ground and was seriously injured. The vehicles of both sides of the accident were damaged.

　　The ambulance arrived at the scene five minutes after the accident.

　　In order to verify the situation, Wangdu traffic police retrieved the video footage of the incident. Through the video, it was found that women riding electric bicycles ran red lights, while white cars with left turns grabbed the lights and met non-motorized cyclists, which was the cause of the accident.

　　Bai Qiumei, Hebei Baoding Traffic Police Detachment:The driver of the electric (self-propelled) car, Wang Mou, and the driver of the car, Wang Moumou, should bear the same responsibility for this accident, and the passenger is not responsible.

　　　　　　　　[Editor’s note]

　　　　　　　　After Yuan Shikai’s death, the Beiyang Army split up, and warlords of various departments competed for the Central Plains. In September, 1924, the Jiangsu-Zhejiang War broke out, and the direct warlord led by Wu Peifu competed with the Anhui warlord for control of Shanghai. Before that, Wu Peifu had already won the victory over the Feng warlord Zhang Zuolin. In the eyes of westerners, Wu Peifu was undoubtedly the "strongest" in China at that time. On September 8th, Wu Peifu appeared on the cover of Time magazine, becoming the first Chinese to win this "honor".

　　　　　　　　After that, Feng Yuxiang, Chiang Kai-shek, Song Meiling, Wang Jingwei, Song Ziwen, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Luo Ruiqing, Chen Yi, Deng Xiaoping, etc. appeared on the cover of the weekly magazine one after another, becoming face of china that attracted worldwide attention. Of course, these characters are key players active in China’s political field, but what did the American news media people see from them at the moment when they became cover figures? In the process of making cover characters, what did the micro-expressions of those characters express to the world?

　　　　　　　　

The first Chinese on the cover of Time: Wu Peifu.

The captions under the photos are "General Wu" and "Biggest man in China". At that time, the Jiangsu-Zhejiang War broke out in southern China. The direct warlord led by Wu Peifu is fighting with the Anhui warlord for the control of Shanghai.

　　　　　　　　

1920s: Who was the strongest in China?

　　　　　　　　After Wu Peifu, Chiang Kai-shek, the second commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition, appeared on the cover weekly of Time. In March, 1927, Chiang Kai-shek led the Kuomintang troops northward into Shanghai, in order to complete the complete reunification of the north and south of China. Of course, this is not easy. In 1929, the new warlords of the Kuomintang were in a scuffle again, filled with smoke. In 1930, Yan Xishan, Feng Yuxiang and Li Zongren jointly launched a war against Chiang Kai-shek, that is, the Central Plains War, which was the largest warlord melee in China’s modern history. As key figures in this period, Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan also appeared on the cover of Time magazine.

　　　　　　　　

1930s: Clouds of war were gathering, and the war was in chaos.

　　　　　　　　Since his first appearance on the cover of Time in April 1927, Chiang Kai-shek, as the supreme leader of China, naturally attracted the attention of western media in the 1930s. During this decade, Chiang Kai-shek appeared on the cover of Time magazine five times, including two appearances with his wife Song Meiling. In addition to Jiang and Song, in 1934, Puyi was enthroned as the "Emperor of Manchukuo", which made him appear in Time magazine. On March 18th, 1935, Wang Jingwei became the cover of Time magazine.

Puyi (March 5, 1934)

　　　　　　　Previously, the Puppet Manchukuo was founded in 1932, and Puyi was promoted by the Japanese as the "head of state" and later called the "emperor". On March 1, 1934, Puyi held a ceremony to ascend the throne. A few days later, on March 5, the cover figure of Time magazine was Puyi.

On March 18th, 1935, Premier Wang appeared on the cover of Time magazine.

　　　　　　　　In 1935, Wang Jingwei was appointed President and Foreign Minister of the Executive Yuan of the National Government of the Republic of China, ranking second only to Chiang Kai-shek. How is the relationship between China and Japan progressing? Is it war or peace? What’s his attitude?

1940s: The Anti-Japanese War was a great event, and the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were wrestling.

　　　　　　　　In this decade, the war of resistance against Japan is undoubtedly the most important historical event. For Chiang Kai-shek, the Anti-Japanese War was arduous. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, how to promote the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is also a problem. On September 3, 1945, Chiang Kai-shek appeared on the cover of Time magazine as a "winner" in the Anti-Japanese War. At that time, the issue of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China had attracted the attention of the world. As for December 1948, Chiang Kai-shek, who had just experienced the Liaoshen Campaign and the Huaihai Campaign, was once again on the cover of Time magazine, and the situation of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was quietly reversed, which seemed to imply the coming of another era of Time magazine face of china.

In the 1940s, Chiang Kai-shek made three appearances on the cover of Time: June 1, 1942 (the stalemate stage of the Anti-Japanese War); September 3, 1945 (victory in the Anti-Japanese War); December 6, 1948 (during the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the Pingjin Campaign).

1950s: The Face Assembly Number of Red China

　　　　　　　　The Communist Party of China (CPC)’s first ten years in power. In 1955, Chiang Kai-shek appeared on the cover of Time magazine for the last time. The Communist Party of China (CPC), who opened another era for the cover figures of Time magazine, whether Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Liu Shaoqi, Chen Yi and Luo Ruiqing, are all faces from "RED CHINA" in the eyes of Time magazine.

　　CCTV News:From June to August, 2016, a telecom fraud gang committed fraud crazily. During this period, Cai Shuyan, a college student, committed suicide by jumping into the sea after being defrauded of tuition and living expenses of 9800 yuan. On the morning of 28th, the Intermediate People’s Court of Jieyang City, Guangdong Province sentenced seven defendants, including Chen Minghui, to life imprisonment and three years’ imprisonment.

　　The court found through trial that from August 2013 to March 2014, Chen Minghui repeatedly hired Tang Xiaohui (sentenced) to pretend to be a variety show such as "Where is Dad?" and sent more than 730,000 false winning fraud messages to mobile phone users.

　　From June to August, 2016, Chen Minghui recruited and assembled Fan Zhijie, Gao Xuezhong, Ye Qifeng, Xiong Yunjiang and others to form a criminal gang. By sending false winning information such as "Taobao" and "Run Brothers", he induced the winners who received the information to log in to the "phishing website" to fill in their personal information to receive the prize, and pretended to be a customer service staff to trick the winners into paying the "deposit" on the grounds of redemption. Pretending to be court staff and lawyers, it is a breach of contract that the "winner" fails to pay the "security deposit" or receive the prize as required. It is necessary to sue or have sued the "winner" and continue to pay the handling fee before withdrawing the lawsuit and obtaining the prize, threatening and luring, and defrauding the "winner" again, defrauding many people of property totaling RMB 1.041 million. Among them, Cai Shuyan, a student about to attend university, committed suicide by jumping into the sea after being defrauded of tuition and living expenses of 9800 yuan.

　　The court also found that Lin Shiya knowingly engaged in illegal and criminal activities by Ye Qifeng and others, and still illegally entrusted him with point-of-sale terminal equipment (POS machines), which provided convenient conditions for him to cash in the stolen money. Knowing that others are engaged in illegal and criminal activities, Chen Liyi still sells several bank cards to others for fraud. In addition, Xiong Yunjiang was caught by the traffic police for drunk driving in Haikou.

　　The court held that in the joint crime of fraud, Chen Minghui, Fan Zhijie, Gao Xuezhong, Ye Qifeng and Xiong Yunjiang, for the purpose of illegal possession, formed a telecom fraud criminal gang, used communication tools and online means to defraud an unspecified majority of people, and caused a student to commit suicide. The amount of fraud was particularly huge and the circumstances were particularly serious, all of which constituted fraud. Xiong Yunjiang also drunk driving a motor vehicle on the road, and his behavior constitutes a crime of dangerous driving, which should be combined with several crimes according to law. Knowing that others commit crimes, Lin Shiya has repeatedly provided point-of-sale terminal equipment (POS machines) to help transfer the proceeds of crimes. Knowing that others commit crimes, Chen Liyi still provides multiple bank accounts for others to transfer the proceeds of crimes, which has constituted the crime of concealing and concealing. According to the facts, nature, circumstances and the degree of harm to society of each defendant, the Intermediate People’s Court of Jieyang City, Guangdong Province sentenced the defendant Chen Minghui to life imprisonment, deprived of political rights for life and confiscated all personal property. The defendants Fan Zhijie, Gao Xuezhong and Ye Qifeng were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from 15 to 13 years and fined for fraud; The defendant Xiong Yunjiang was sentenced to 11 years in prison and fined for fraud and dangerous driving. The defendant Lin Shiya was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment and the defendant Chen Lucy li was sentenced to one year and four months’ imprisonment and fined for concealing and concealing the crime. The defendants were ordered to jointly refund the fraudulent money to the victim.

　 　 [XCAR test drive original]

　　　　Domestic pickup truck culture started relatively late compared with European and American countries. Both the market environment and consumers’ concept of car purchase are in a relatively immature stage. I believe that when many people talk about pickup trucks, they still link them with cheapness and freight for the first time. Of course, in the past two years, with the introduction of some American pickup trucks, a high-end pickup truck culture focusing on playing with cars has gradually emerged. Looking at the domestic auto market, the current situation of pickup trucks can be said to be serious. One is the cheap pickup truck based on freight, and the other is the American high-end pickup truck just mentioned. The pickup truck market between these two types is basically blank. The Isuzu D-MAX we test-drive today has a clear mission, which is to strive to be a pioneer in this market.

　　　　Since the D-MAX produced by Isuzu’s domestic joint venture manufacturer (Jiangxi Isuzu) has not been officially launched, we chose Australia, where Isuzu has a large number of pickup trucks and the pickup market is relatively mature, to get close contact with this model.However, after three months, we will be able to see the D-MAX model produced by Jiangxi Isuzu in the domestic market.

　　　　Since D-MAX is about to be produced in China, I have to talk about its manufacturer — — Jiangxi Isuzu. For consumers, this is a strange and young manufacturer. Jiangxi ISUZU is a joint-venture vehicle manufacturer established by Japanese Isuzu in China.It is jointly funded by Japanese Isuzu and jiangling motors Group, with the equity ratio of 50:50.

　　　　The model that Jiangxi Isuzu is about to put into production at present is D-MAX pickup truck, which is the protagonist of our test drive today. At the end of next year, Jiangxi Isuzu will also introduce a heavyweight SUV model for production. This model, named MU-X, has been listed in international markets such as Australia.

　　　　When it comes to the history of D-MAX, if you read the picture below, I believe it can bring back some memories. Isuzu pickup truck began to enter China from TF model. At first, it was introduced and produced by Qingling. Later, domestic independent brands began to copy this model.

　　　　Since it is a pioneer in the domestic mid-range pickup market, does D-MAX really have no competitors? From the perspective of head-on confrontation, there is really no pickup truck model in the domestic mid-range pickup truck market that can be similar to D-MAX in price, configuration and technical level. But from the perspective of positioning, it seems that only Toyota’s hilux can be regarded as a competitor.

　　　　Although Zhengzhou Nissan’s D22 pickup truck is similar to D-MAX in positioning and design, the D22 model is too old to compete with D-MAX in the same generation. The Nissan Navara pickup truck, which can really compete with D-MAX, has no plans to introduce it at present.

　　　　The positioning of Isuzu D-MAX was introduced by the author at the beginning, and it mainly focuses on the mid-range pickup market. In addition to the outstanding loading capacity of pickup trucks, D-MAX has excellent performance in the interior space and passability. Although it is the pioneer of mid-range pickup trucks in China at present, it is also in sync with the international level in terms of technology. However, if D-MAX wants to make some achievements in this strange emerging market, it is indeed difficult to see the current domestic pickup truck environment and road regulations. For example, in a first-tier city like Beijing, the driving of pickup trucks will still be greatly restricted, which is an unavoidable reality.

　　Recently, the Anti-smuggling Bureau of Guangzhou Customs, with the assistance of the Anti-smuggling Bureaus of Huangpu, Jiangmen, Kunming and Nanning, launched the "Fighting 28" special campaign to crack down on the smuggling of imported fruits, successfully destroyed three smuggling criminal gangs and arrested 12 suspects, involving a case value of about 1.355 billion yuan.

　　The smuggling gang involved in the case has been purchasing mangosteen, longan, durian and other fruits of Thai origin overseas for a long time in the name of a company in Guangzhou, and after transporting them to the borders of Guangxi and Yunnan, the local smuggling gang responsible for customs clearance declared imports through border small-scale trade and general trade by falsely reporting the origin and underreporting the price, and sold them to Guangzhou and other places for profit. In addition, it was found that smuggling gangs smuggled fruits in the border market under the guise of "border residents".

　　At present, the case is under further investigation. Guangzhou Customs will resolutely implement the deployment of the special action of "National Sword 2020" of the General Administration of Customs, and resolutely crack down on smuggling crimes by relying on the working mechanism of "smuggling by all staff" to safeguard the "safety at the table" of ordinary people.

In February, 2021, new york Mayor’s Food Policy Office released the first 10-year food policy plan "NYC: A 10-year food policy plan". This series consists of seven articles, translated by the team of "the other mountains all appear dwarfs under the sky.-Sustainable City and Transportation". This is the fourth article, which introduces the second goal of new york’s ten-year food policy plan: to make new york’s food economy promote economic development and provide good jobs.

New york has more than 40,000 food enterprises, employing hundreds of thousands of workers. It is difficult to calculate the exact number of workers, because there is no reliable data to explain the number of workers in the "gig economy" in food distribution. These workers and enterprises are vital to the health and well-being of new york people. The food industry is an important source of employment and property income for colored people and immigrant communities (79% of food workers in new york are colored people, including 43% Latinos and 21% Asians).

The catering industry is also very important to the city, because it is the main attraction of residents, workers and tourists, supporting many other industries, such as office employment in the central business district and attracting tourists. In fact, the catering industry is the key to making new york so attractive. Its economic contribution is also great. In 2019, the taxable sales of the catering industry reached nearly $27 billion.

However, working in the food industry or owning a business is extremely challenging. The food industry usually has a low profit margin, while the cost of running a business in new york is high. About 99% of food enterprises in the city are small enterprises with less than 100 workers, while 70% are micro enterprises with less than 10 workers. In addition, the wages of food workers are usually low, and they lack job security and mobility opportunities. Many deliverymen (an increasingly important part of the food industry) are considered as independent contract workers and cannot get the same protection and benefits as employees.

If new york wants to improve its food system, it must first support both food workers and food enterprises. The support for the two is not mutually exclusive, but mutually reinforcing. These strategies also focus on the future of food enterprises, including supporting a new ownership model that conforms to the principles of economic democracy and technological change.

Size of food enterprises in new york (calculated by number of employees). Cartography: the other mountains all appear dwarfs under the sky., the picture is from NYC Food Forward, only translated in Chinese.

Strategy 1: Protect the rights and interests of food practitioners　

Implementing fair scheduling method in fast food industry

New york will strictly implement the fast food fair scheduling laws, so as to optimize the fast food industry into a benign occupation with stable and predictable working hours and wages. Strong law enforcement will ensure that workers in fast food restaurants can arrange shifts fairly and even get overtime pay when the shift schedule is temporarily changed. Law enforcement will also ensure that workers in the fast food industry can settle down through regular shifts in high-mobility industries.

Provide financial and technical support for workers’ cooperatives

The cooperative model has a long history in the food field. Worker-owned cooperatives have yet to become a powerful tool for new york to accumulate assets and eliminate the gap between the rich and the poor. In order to meet the needs of food enterprises, new york will not only coordinate existing auxiliary projects to support cooperatives, such as Employee Ownership, but also explore innovative financial and technical support projects.

When it is not appropriate for the government to directly intervene in enterprises, the New York City Government will also explore cooperation with community-based organizations, business improvement areas (BID) and merchant associations, and provide support for cooperative organization efforts in five administrative regions.

Improve the situation of food workers.

New york will promote a series of state and federal bills to improve the situation of workers in the food industry, as listed below:

(1) Ensure that all employees in the food industry are included in the federal and state welfare plans;

(2) For employers who fail to protect workers’ health, abolish relevant laws that limit their responsibilities;

(3) Change the state regulations on tip pool sharing, and expand the scope of employees who participate in tip sharing, so that employees without tips can also get some sharing;

(4) To cope with emergencies, set up a hazard pay for grass-roots food workers.

Provide support to practitioners of food programs.

New york will make efforts to provide support to practitioners of food programs. Under the circumstance that the purchasing power is restricted by the current laws, new york will first ensure that food suppliers abide by the current labor laws and collect more labor-related information from food suppliers. In addition, new york will promote the revision of applicable laws and use food procurement power to optimize the working conditions of food practitioners.

Expand child care services to solve the problem of night care for children of food practitioners.

During the COVID-19 crisis, new york deeply realized the hard work and important role of food practitioners. Child care has been provided through the Regional Enrichment Centers "and child care programs throughout the city. With the gradual recovery of the city, existing facilities for childcare projects will be expanded or new projects will be created, including night and weekend care, which is the time when children need care most and parents are most inconvenient to take care of. Providing night and weekend child care will enable parents who often work at night and weekend classes to improve their work flexibility and reduce the cost of childcare.

Feasibility study on developing basic social security benefits

New york will conduct a feasibility study on the basic social security benefits for all food workers. This study will explore the potential partnerships among food practitioners, enterprises, community organizations and financial institutions. This project focuses on providing welfare protection such as pension and medical insurance for food practitioners. New york will also push the federal government to introduce a bill to provide full and fair social security benefits for all employees, regardless of their employers, workplaces or job nature.

Strategy 2: Simplify the process, encourage innovation and support small food enterprises.

Promote tax credits for small businesses.

New york will promote state legislation and establish a tax deduction mechanism for small businesses, including the food industry, to promote the recovery of small businesses in new york. Eligible enterprises with a total income of less than $1 million will receive a tax credit of 6% of their rent in 2021, with a maximum tax credit of $10,000.

Simplify the related processes of food enterprises

New york will review the regulations and enforcement procedures related to small food enterprises (including street vendors) to streamline the process. New york will improve efficiency as much as possible, and expand consolidated licensing and inspection services, so that simplified processes can benefit start-up and existing small food enterprises. The municipal government will also carry out innovation in matters related to food enterprises and increase opportunities for participation, especially cooperation with immigrant organizations.

Support the food enterprises of new york Housing Bureau.

New york will cooperate with enterprises and community organizations to expand the Food Business Pathways of new york Housing Bureau (NYCHA). The establishment of the Business Accelerator Program aims to enable residents of the public housing development project of new york Housing Bureau and those who hold the Class 8 housing clause subsidy voucher of new york Housing Bureau (note: the subsidy voucher program was established in 1978 to provide assistance to eligible low-and middle-income families in renting houses from private hands) to start and develop food business.

Promote the protection of food property and customer data.

The successful operation of food business relies more and more on the data of third-party providers. However, food enterprises often lack professional knowledge or the ability to use these services on favorable terms, and may not be able to obtain key information such as customer data. New york has convened a number of stakeholders to jointly promote initiatives to protect the data of food enterprises and customers, such as the "data bill of rights" for food enterprises and customers.

Support the needs of food enterprises and cooperatives

New york will convene stakeholders in the food industry to identify and design new projects to meet the special demands of food enterprises and non-profit organizations. New york City will then promote the effective implementation of these projects by the state and federal governments. This may include developing new financing and technical assistance programs to help mutual-help and self-operated workers’ cooperatives and small food enterprises.

Suppliers are more likely to participate in the urban procurement process.

New york will promote the smooth connection between potential food suppliers and the urban procurement process. PASSPort, a digital procurement portal in new york, will launch new functions to improve the procurement process. Including: simplifying the collection process, speeding up the issuance of invoices, improving transparency more widely and promoting cross-departmental cooperation.

In addition, new york will explore ways: using matchmaking tools and group buying strategies to increase the number of bids for urban food contracts; Expand technical support and guide the procurement process; Provide process navigator to assist small suppliers in the procurement bidding process; And explore to simplify the application process of M/WBE (note: M/WBE: minority and women-owned business enterprises, enterprises owned, operated and controlled by ethnic minorities and women).

Strategy 3: Help the next generation of food workers get high-quality jobs.

Launch a community recruitment plan for the food industry.

New york will use the current new york NYC plan and the proposed Community HireNYC Legislation to expand the recruitment demand, and set up good entry-level posts in the whole food procurement process, including food production, distribution, transportation and other related work.

New york will combine the existing and new training plans to provide human resources for suppliers, and require suppliers to provide interviews and employment opportunities for qualified low-income people. New york will also cooperate with anchor institutions to expand the number of high-quality entry-level jobs in food procurement, and pay special attention to core institutions in underserved communities.

Support food technology vocational training

New york’s partners in catering, manufacturing and industry will continue to keep pace with the technological upgrading of the industry. These partners will provide advice to small business service organizations (SBS) on the development of specific labor force and provide new technology training programs for industry practitioners. This can ensure that employees are at the forefront of technological change and that they learn new skills at work, rather than being replaced by new technologies.

Create and expand the career path of food practitioners

New york will ensure the prospect and "Qian Jing" of food industry, both warehouse workers and kitchen staff can be developed, and provide more training, certification and business plans for food practitioners.

Listed below:

(i) Expand training and entrepreneurship programs for commercial kitchens, such as the First Course NYC and Food Business Pathways in new york;

(ii) providing English as a Second Language services for non-native English-speaking food workers;

(iii) Cooperating with the industry to provide the US Department of Energy (DOE) vocational and technical education courses for practitioners in food production, processing, storage and distribution processes;

(iv) Linking youth training programmes with career paths;

(v) Explore the curriculum options of NYC Health Department’s Health Academy of new york Municipal Health Bureau, which is a labor force development center that provides food safety training for food practitioners.

Make a development plan for campus food practitioners

To provide the healthiest and freshest food for students in new york, well-trained practitioners are essential.

　　China Daily Online, May 6 (Xinhua) Foreign media reported that recently, with the fermentation of American banking crisis, panic is intensifying in the American financial circle represented by Wall Street. Many people in the industry pointed out that the current market situation is not good, and the crisis may spread again, but the regulatory system has not paid enough attention to it.

　　"Starting with the collapse of the Silicon Valley Bank, although the government intervened to provide protection for depositors and provided loans to major banks, fear has taken root and continued to breed on Wall Street." CNN reported that.

　　"We feel a strong sense of worry and feel that something is about to happen." The report quoted Ed Moya, a senior market analyst at Anda, as saying, "Infectious panic has never dissipated."

　　Recently, the First Total Bank of the United States declared bankruptcy, becoming the third bank in the United States to close this year. Investors are beginning to worry, who will be next? Many people have focused their eyes on a regional bank in California — — Western Pacific Union Bank. On Thursday, the bank’s share price was close to "halved", and the bank has also said that it is currently exploring "strategic options".

　　Not only the Western Pacific Union Bank, but also the share price of lines West Bank in the United States once plunged after the Financial Times broke the news that it was seeking to sell. The Arizona-based bank subsequently denied the report, making its share price "recover lost ground", but its market value has dropped by 65% this year.

　　In addition, regional banks located in the southeast — — First Horizon Bank is also "teetering", and its $13 billion M&A agreement with Dominion Bank of Canada has been terminated.

　　In the face of concerns, Western Pacific Union Bank said that the bank’s current liquidity is abundant, the available liquidity is still stable, and it exceeds uninsured deposits, accounting for 188%. However, this data does not seem to completely dispel the market’s doubts.

　　"Usually, these data can dispel investors’ fears, but now it is ‘ Extraordinary period ’ 。” Edmoya said, "Even if the data doesn’t look so bad, as long as the market is eyeing you, the game is over."

　　The pessimism of the market has also been verified by the statements of some well-known investors. On Thursday, Bill Ackerman, a well-known American investor and billionaire, stated on the social media platform that the current regional banks in the United States have generally fallen into crisis.

　　Ackerman criticized the American banking supervision system. He also said: "It takes decades to build confidence in financial institutions, but it only takes a few days to completely destroy this trust. With the fall of dominoes, the next fragile bank started again ‘ Teetering ’ 。”

　　With the collapse of many banks, the financial hegemony of the dollar system is disintegrating. (Source: China Daily Roger English China Journal, March 24, 2023, 8th edition)

　　Ackerman and others are calling on the US government to further intervene and raise the upper limit of deposit insurance in the United States. At present, the maximum insured amount of most deposit accounts of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation of the United States is $250,000. For many companies that are struggling, this amount can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket. But even so, raising the deposit ceiling requires bipartisan support in the US Congress, and "for rational market participants, no one will count on this".

　　Ackerman is not the only one who criticizes American regulators. Mohammed El-Elian, chief economic adviser of Allianz, also said that the Fed should solve the problem of banking turmoil. He said that the risk of more bank failures has not been eliminated. The big banks in the United States will not be among the first-round shocks, and the problems will all focus on smaller and regional banks.

　　David Rosenberg, a famous economist, also criticized the Fed’s attitude towards the banking crisis. He believes that in the face of the continuous fermentation of the banking crisis, Fed officials have not paid enough attention to it.

　　"We are likely to default on our debts at the moment, and the banking crisis is spreading. Sorry Jamie (referring to Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell), the crisis is not over. Focusing on inflation, these people can’t hear clearly. " Rosenberg said.

During the riots and conflicts in the past month or so, the Hong Kong police devoted themselves to their duties and exercised professional restraint, which became the last barrier to maintaining public order and defending the rule of law.

However, activists’ acts of stigmatizing the police and cyberbullying have intensified: some teachers have viciously cursed police children, and nearly 1,200 police officers’ personal data have been leaked by criminals, which has caused great troubles to the lives of the parties and their families.

In addition, the account also claimed that it "has a mole informant in the police force and major Hong Kong media", and its administrator claimed to be overseas and provoked the police to "have the ability to fly abroad to arrest me".

Superintendent Mo Junjie of Cybersecurity and Technology Crime Bureau of Hong Kong Police informed the media about the disclosure of police personal data.

Among them, the most notorious is a channel called "Old Bean" on an instant messaging software Telegram. Because of the encryption of its server, Telegram has become an online contact point for Hong Kong extremists to hook up with each other and conduct "human flesh search" on Hong Kong police and other related people.

Verified by Observer Network, this channel was established on July 7th. Since July 15th, the number of subscriptions and views has soared. At present, 74,000 subscribers have posted 911 photos, 21 videos and 26 documents, most of which are personal information of police officers and their families.

The channel manager and main information publisher is an account with the user name "Laodou Yizai", which means "father seeking son" in Cantonese, which is insulting to the police and other relevant searched people. The account claims that the team "has more than 50 people, all of whom have settled in the United States, Canada, Britain and other places".

Its operation mode is: firstly, upload photos of police officers’ faces taken by the media or protesters at the scene, then confirm the identity of police officers through face recognition and "human flesh search" and disclose their personal information: from job number and contact information to family background and family photos, the level of detail is chilling.

Because "the face recognition department needs a lot of data", the account suggested that members take photos at the entrance of the police dormitory, and emphasized that "each person has two more angles". In addition, the channel also uses vicious language to attack and threaten police officers and their families, claiming that its purpose is "the disaster will reach his wife and children".

With the outbreak of street violence, the addresses and contact information of a number of senior police officers have been exposed one after another, including Commissioner of Police Stephen Lo, Deputy Director Deng Bingqiang and British Chief Superintendent Tao Hui.

It is worth mentioning that the account once claimed that it "has a mole informant in the police force and major Hong Kong media". In addition, its contents include "teaching" in making incendiary bombs, using slingshots and hiding portable knives.

On August 1, the Hong Kong police released a video to introduce the situation that the police information was "bottomed out". Superintendent Liu Zhaobang revealed that since June 9, the personal data of more than 1,200 police officers and their families have been leaked on the Internet.

Insult words were posted on the door of a police officer’s house, and personal data were taken to borrow money from a financial company, which made family members very worried and worried every day. What’s more, even the photos of young children of police officers were made public, and some netizens threatened to "pick up their children from school".

Superintendent Liu reiterated that these acts may violate the crimes of "using computers with criminal or dishonest intentions", "criminal intimidation" or violation of privacy regulations, and the police will never tolerate them.

On Friday (2nd), Hong Kong police arrested three men on suspicion of inciting others to commit public nuisance and fraud. One of the suspects was involved in using the illegally leaked information of police officers to apply for a loan online, but fortunately it was not successful.

Mo Junjie, Superintendent of Cyber Security and Technology Crime Bureau, said that in view of the recent radical remarks on the Internet, which instigated others to make offensive weapons, contain buildings, and even attack others, and caused nuisance and intimidation to police officers and their families, the police reminded young people not to break the law.

The administrator account did not forget to provoke the police while forwarding the above news, emphasizing that he was overseas and "had the ability to fly abroad to arrest me".

The channel released photos, trying to prove that the administrator took screenshots abroad.

According to a report in Ming Pao last Sunday (28th), the Hong Kong police arrested a 29-year-old man surnamed Zhang in a shopping mall on 25th on suspicion of "conspiracy or abetting murder", and accused him of being the administrator of the "Laodou Daizi" group, abetting members to assassinate the police.

However, Zhang denied this and quibbled with The New York Times that he had tried to develop a face recognition software and was suspected of being arrested. He has been released on bail pending investigation and is required to report to the police in late August.

Wu Zongluan, a lawyer group with close ties to the opposition and the convener of the Hong Kong Forensic Science Conference, said that if the case is brought to court, the prosecution must prove that the defendant has taken concrete or further actions to kill people because of the relevant remarks. He also said that this matter "is not just as simple as lip service", even if the murder did not happen in the end, there is a chance to be guilty.

According to the Crimes against the Person Ordinance of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the conviction of "conspiracy or abetting murder" can be sentenced to life imprisonment.
