Smart Asian women are the new targets of CCP global online repression

The Chinese Communist Party has a problem with women of Asian descent who have public platforms, opinions and expertise on China.

In an effort to counter the views and work of these women, the CCP has been busy pivoting its growing information operation capabilities to target women, with a focus on journalists working at major Western media outlets.

Right now, and often going back weeks or months, some of the world’s leading China journalists and human rights activists are on the receiving end of an ongoing, coordinated and large-scale online information campaign. These women are high-profile journalists at media outlets including the New Yorker, The Economist, the New York Times, The Guardian, Quartz and others. The most malicious and sophisticated aspects of this information campaign are focused on women of Asian descent.

Cảnh báo vỡ nợ chéo từ “quả bom” trái phiếu – Kỳ 1: Bom nợ âm ỉ từ những hợp đồng ma quái

Hà Tâm – 20/05/2022 09:35 nhadautu

Ngây ngất trong men say của trái phiếu doanh nghiệp (TPDN), nhà đầu tư, doanh nghiệp phát hành, doanh nghiệp phân phối lẫn đơn vị tư vấn đều thực hiện những cú bắt tay dưới gầm bàn.

TIN LIÊN QUAN

Bom nợ từ đó âm ỉ hình thành và bắt đầu phát nổ.

Tàn dư của cú sốc trái phiếu doanh nghiệp Tân Hoàng Minh thật nặng nề. Thị trường trái phiếu khựng lại. Thị trường chứng khoán đỏ lửa. Doanh nghiệp hoang mang. Nhà đầu tư tháo chạy. Chính phủ quan tâm, lo lắng. Quốc hội đặt nhiều câu hỏi chất vấn. Trước sức ép từ nhiều phía, Bộ Tài chính đang tìm cách siết chặt thị trường này, cả cung lẫn cầu. Từ đây, một quả bom khác lớn hơn đang dần được kích hoạt: hiểm họa vỡ nợ chéo. Làm thế nào để kiểm soát rủi ro trái phiếu doanh nghiệp mà vẫn khuyến khích thị trường nợ phát triển đòi hỏi một cuộc cách mạng về cơ chế cho thị trường vốn.

Ủy ban Kinh tế (UBKT) của Quốc hội vừa có báo cáo giám sát về việc dừng chủ trương đầu tư dự án điện hạt nhân Ninh Thuận giai đoạn 2016-2021.

Điện hạt nhân – xu thế tất yếu

Trong báo cáo trên, UBKT của Quốc hội đề xuất xem xét phát triển điện hạt nhân và đề nghị Chính phủ tạm giữ quy hoạch vị trí dự kiến xây dựng Nhà máy điện hạt nhân Ninh Thuận 1 và 2 cho đến khi cấp có thẩm quyền quyết định chính thức về vấn đề này.

Trao đổi với báo chí bên hành lang QH ngày 27-5, nhiều đại biểu Quốc hội (ĐBQH) đã đưa ra một số quan điểm nếu dự án điện hạt nhân được tái khởi động.

United States – Aotearoa New Zealand Joint Statement

MAY 31, 2022•STATEMENTS AND RELEASES The White House

A 21st-Century Partnership for the Pacific, the Indo-Pacific, and the World

President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. is honored to welcome Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern of Aotearoa New Zealand to the White House. The leaders reaffirmed the strategic partnership between the United States and New Zealand, as expressed in the 2010 Wellington Declaration and the 2012 Washington Declaration.

Our peoples have served side-by-side to uphold international peace and security for over a century; 80 years ago, during the Second World War, U.S. Marines arrived in New Zealand before embarking for the Pacific theatre. Together we honor that history of shared resolve in the face of aggression, in the pursuit of peace, and in our common respect for sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the peaceful resolution of disputes. We note that, since then, our ties have broadened and deepened, founded on shared values of democracy, fundamental freedoms, and the rule of law. Today, President Biden and Prime Minister Ardern committed to advance our longstanding partnership to meet 21st-century challenges: bolstering security and building resilience, including to climate change, in the Pacific; promoting prosperity in the Indo-Pacific; and combatting the climate crisis and ensuring the responsible use of technology around the world.

The biggest announcement from President Joe Biden’s trip to Asia may be the one that got the least attention. The Quad, a grouping consisting of Australia, India, Japan, and the United States, has just announced a maritime domain awareness partnership that will provide a new stream of data from commercial satellites to countries across the Indo-Pacific. This is a substantial addition to the Quad’s agenda and one of its most promising initiatives to date. Critically, it satisfies the desire of most regional partners for the Quad to provide public goods and address the needs of smaller states in and the Indian Ocean, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific Islands. If properly executed, this effort could be a flagship project for demonstrating the Quad’s value to regional countries. Tiếp tục đọc “THE QUAD GOES TO SEA” →

What is a bot?

A bot — short for robot and also called an internet bot — is a computer program that operates as an agent for a user or other program or to simulate a human activity. Bots are normally used to automate certain tasks, meaning they can run without specific instructions from humans.

An organization or individual can use a bot to replace a repetitive task that a human would otherwise have to perform. Bots are also much faster at these tasks than humans. Although bots can carry out useful functions, they can also be malicious and come in the form of malware.

Looking through the photos of the 2,884 inmates in the Xinjiang Police Files is not for the faint of heart. You scroll – as you would on Instagram – past face after face of a people unjustly detained by the Chinese government for no other reason than that they are Uyghur.

The first thing I noticed in the photos were their eyes. Some look bewildered, others determined, others tear-filled, others entirely blank.

Blinken Details U.S. Strategy Toward ChinaU.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken laid out (CNN) the Joe Biden administration’s strategy toward China in a speech yesterday (State Dept.), calling Beijing “the most serious long-term threat to the international order.” Blinken said Washington is determined to avoid a conflict or new Cold War with China. The U.S. approach—called “invest, align, compete”—hinges on efforts to invest in domestic sources of strength, align with allies and partners, and compete with China on issues such as technological innovation. Blinken reiterated that the U.S. strategy toward Taiwan is unchanged, and that Washington seeks to engage and cooperate with China where possible, especially on climate change. Officials said President Biden could hold a phone call (Politico) with Chinese President Xi Jinping within weeks.

US-Iran Nuclear Talks Hit Snag

1440 Daily Digest

President Joe Biden is keeping Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps on a list of foreign terrorist organizations, according to officials. The decision could complicate international efforts to restore a 2015 deal meant to restrict Iran’s nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief. Lifting the IRGC’s 2019 terrorist designation (see background) has been a precondition for Iran to return to talks with global leaders, who have been working on reviving the deal for over a year amid rising tensions between Arab nations and Iran-allied groups.

United Nations Charter – History of UN Charter

United Nations Charter

Hiến Chuơng Liên Hợp Quốc bản tiếng Việt >>

UN

The Charter of the United Nations is the founding document of the United Nations. It was signed on 26 June 1945, in San Francisco, at the conclusion of the United Nations Conference on International Organization, and came into force on 24 October 1945.

The United Nations can take action on a wide variety of issues due to its unique international character and the powers vested in its Charter, which is considered an international treaty. As such, the UN Charter is an instrument of international law, and UN Member States are bound by it. The UN Charter codifies the major principles of international relations, from sovereign equality of States to the prohibition of the use of force in international relations.

Since the UN’s founding in 1945, the mission and work of the Organization have been guided by the purposes and principles contained in its founding Charter, which has been amended three times in 1963, 1965, and 1973.

The International Court of Justice, the principal judicial organ of the United Nations, functions in accordance with the Statute of the International Court of Justice, which is annexed to the UN Charter, and forms an integral part of it. (See Chapter XIV, Article 92)

A massacre at a Texas primary school has again drawn attention to the powerful gun lobby in the United States, with Democratic officials blaming Republican legislators for remaining beholden to influential pro-gun interests that advocates say have stalled national gun reforms.

President Joe Biden, speaking hours after an 18-year-old gunman stormed the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, fatally shooting 19 children and two teachers on Tuesday, asked: “When, in God’s name, are we going to stand up to the gun lobby?”.

Former President Barack Obama, who was in office when a gunman killed 20 children and six adults at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut in 2012, said the US “is paralysed, not by fear, but by a gun lobby and a political party that have shown no willingness to act in any way that might help prevent these tragedies”.
