United States to restore the second fleet to meet Russia's challenge in the North Atlantic

The U.S. Navy formally resumed a disbanded Cold War fleet on Friday (24) to meet the challenges of North Atlantic Russia amid tensions between the United States and Russia.

In May, the U.S. Navy announced that it would resume its second fleet, which was disbanded in 2011, and played an important role in the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean during the Cold War. The second fleet of the United States was formed in 1950s, and was later dissolved when the relations between the United States and Russia were eased.


The fleet played an important role in the Cuban missile crisis of 1962, when the Second Fleet was tasked with blocking Soviet ships heading for Cuba. The second fleet is also responsible for the defense of the US Navy's east coast and North Atlantic region.

Admiral John Richardson, U.S. Navy Secretary of Operations, told the USS Bush aircraft carrier that this was a response of the U.S. and U.S. Navy to the changing security environment. Crucial. "

According to the Trump administration's national security strategy, China and Russia are the biggest threats to the United States. They believe that China and Russia are becoming increasingly aggressive and constantly acquiring advanced weapons such as hypersonic and advanced torpedoes.

In the North Atlantic, Russian warplanes and ships have been entering the airspace and territorial waters of NATO allies, including Britain, in recent months. NATO Navy officials said last year that Russian submarines explored submarine data transmission cables in the North Atlantic.


This is mainly due to the restructuring of the U.S. military, the restoration of the United States East Coast and the Barents Sea, as well as Norway and Russia's coastal generals responsible for command mechanisms. Voice of America reports that the reorganization of the second fleet reflects the adjustment of the U.S. military strategy, that is, the military focus from the Middle East anti-terrorism to deal with growing competition from Russia and China.

U.S. reports say China and Russia are expanding their navies and trying to expand their global reach. In particular, Russia has been increasing military activities including submarine patrols. Last year Russian Admiral Korolev said Russian submarine officers and men spent more than 3,000 days patrolling the sea in the previous year, restoring the pace of Soviet times.

In addition, the U.S. military has officially launched a new Army Future Command, which is responsible for innovating and preparing for new weapons developed by Russia and China. This is the command of the army to modernize the army's army.


The U.S. Army's Future Command in Austin, Texas, will have a four-star general responsible for about 500 military and civilian officers. The military says its headquarters in Austin can take advantage of the many high-level engineering colleges and technicians there.

"I hope the White House recognizes the importance of the Chinese market."

Chicago, located in Illinois, is the third largest city in the United States. It is also the economic center of the Midwest of the United States. A group of well-known enterprises, represented by Boeing and McDonald's, will be headquartered here. Over the past few days, Chinese journalists have conducted on-the-spot interviews in Chicago on Sino-US trade disputes. They have really felt the anxieties and dissatisfaction of the local people from all walks of life about the unilateral initiation and escalation of the US government's trade war.

Problems should be solved through negotiation.
Walking into Boeing's headquarters, a group of display boards with Chinese advertisements stand out, expressing Boeing's ambition to explore the Chinese market. Recently, however, the U.S. government's protectionist policies have left executives of the world's aircraft giant at their wits'end.

In recent years, China's share in Boeing's global market has become more and more important. Ma Ailun, President of Boeing International Group, described the importance of the Chinese market to reporters by "two 1000". "In 2013, Boeing delivered 1000th aircraft to the Chinese market. This is the result of Boeing's opening up to the Chinese market in the past 40 years. Over the past 5 years, Boeing has delivered 1000 more aircraft to China. Ma said Boeing was able to complete its 40-year journey in just five years, thanks to the important opportunities brought about by China's rapid development.

"Boeing hopes to deepen partnership with Chinese enterprises and continue to explore the Chinese market in depth." Ma Ailun introduced Boeing's multi-level cooperation with Chinese enterprises. "Boeing produces a large number of aircraft parts from China, and we have cooperation with China's commercial aviation, aviation industry. Boeing's Zhoushan Aircraft Completion and Delivery Center, which represents a long-term investment in China, is about to be completed.

However, the trade war provoked by the US government has put pressure on the above multiple cooperation relations. Boeing is a frequently cited case in which domestic economic experts have recently predicted the impact of the trade war. The analysis shows that the impact of the trade war on a large manufacturing enterprise like Boeing is twofold: it will disrupt its original global supply chain, and it will hit its export market.

Boeing Senior Vice President Murphy said Boeing is highly concerned about trade disputes between the United States and China. "We are actively communicating with the U.S. government, hoping that the White House will recognize the importance of the Chinese market." Ma believes that the two governments should solve the problem through negotiation and consultation, seek common interests, and continue the bilateral cooperation.

Will bring the whole industry impact.
Chicago, Illinois, has an extraverted economy and is closely related to China. Therefore, the impact of trade war is more than just big enterprises like Boeing.

According to Illinois Governor Laura, there are currently more than 400 enterprises headquartered in the state of investment in China, more than 40 Chinese enterprises in the state take root. In 2016, Illinois exported more than $5 billion to China. A recent study by the American Chamber of Commerce pointed out that Illinois exports of $3.8 billion would be affected by the trade war, including $1.3 billion in soybean exports, $450 million in automobile exports, $160 million in bread and pastry exports, and $130 million in herbicide exports... The Chicago Council on Global Affairs has pointed out that the trade war initiated by the U.S. government will have an industry-wide impact on the Illinois economy, which may last for many years.

Hong Lei, the Chinese Consul General in Chicago, told reporters that in recent years, various states in the Midwest, including Illinois, have felt the impact of the trade war in different industries. "Soybean farmers'associations, pig farmers' associations and other groups have expressed their dissatisfaction with the U. S. government's trade protection policy. This year, the United States ushered in a bumper year of soybeans, but the United States farmers are not happy, because the trade war has brought them great risks.

According to data released by the U.S. government, the U.S. agricultural export price index fell 5.3% in July, the biggest drop since October 2011, and soybean export prices fell by 14.1%. Cecil Shea, a senior researcher at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, said that for Illinois farmers, a trade war would result in their export markets being dominated by competitors from other countries, such as Canada and Australia, which would be difficult to recapture once lost.

Do not want to be a "victim" of trade wars.
After graduating from a medical school in New York, Geijo arrived in Chicago and is currently working on his internship. In order to save his living expenses, he rented a house in the suburbs of Chicago. Jackie told reporters that his worries about the trade war are mainly two points: whether the prices of daily consumer goods will rise, and whether the quality of products that replace Chinese goods into the U.S. market will be guaranteed.

Apart from caring about the prices of consumer goods, many Americans worry that trade wars will lose their jobs. Some analysts have pointed out that 1.7 million jobs in Illinois are related to exports, and if the trade war continues, it may affect local employment. Last month, Chicago Mayor Ram Emanuel led a large economic and trade delegation to China to show that Chicago did not want to be the "victim" of a trade war unilaterally provoked by the U.S. government.

In the face of the risks and losses brought by the trade war to American enterprises and ordinary people, the American media have issued articles criticizing the U.S. government's trade protection policy. The Chicago Tribune, Illinois's most important newspaper, has recently published a series of commentary articles on the trade war, with the headline "Trade War will hurt everyone", "Is the U.S. government ready for the consequences of the trade war", "Tariffs will not strengthen national security" It will damage national security "...

As the head of the newspaper pointed out, Illinois has benefited greatly from economic globalization. "It is inevitable that there are differences on trade issues, but no one wants to see the current trade war."

About an inadmissibility keychain in Texas

A keychain is stirring up controversy after many are finding out it's illegal in Texas.The Travis County Sheriff's Office said brass knuckles are growing in popularity amongst women. But many don't even know they own one and it can lead to a hefty fine or even land them in jail. 

At first glance, it looks like a harmless cat or dog keychain.


But as it turns out, it can be used as a deadly self-defense weapon. 

"They're pretty sharp it's a hard plastic I saw some that are actually made out of metal and it's not going to bend it's not going to give.  It's going to just penetrate the skin the eyes or where ever else. Once you got it in your hands now there's a lot of force behind it that can inflict injury," said Mike.

Under Section 46.05 of the Texas Penal Code it outlines weapons that are prohibited to possess in Texas. 

If your caught in possession of a self-defense kitty or dog keychain here in the state of Texas a person can be looking at a class A misdemeanor up to 1 year in jail or a $4,000 fine or both.

Many consumers were puzzled by the law. 

Different people have different views."I think it's a little absurd that you can be fine with concealed and carry even on school campuses but this little metal key fob can get you in big trouble," said Tony.

"There's nothing better than getting yourself educated.  If you find yourself in a situation they can do you more harm if you don't know how to use it. I've had female students that have items like this and the perpetrator takes it away from them and uses it against them," said Daisy.

In fact, not all keychains are so offensive. Some key buckles can even be used as a whistle. 

Maybe in a difficult time when you need help, take a deep breath and blow the whistle out loud to let others know that you need help; some keys can even illuminate, in a dark place, your cell phone is just without electricity, and you can only pass your LED key chain. Seek the way... 

These keychains are not only offensive, but also help a lot in daily life. 

(The LED key chain is illuminated. You can choose to use it to illuminate you when it's dark.）

（This is a whistle key chain. When you need help, please blow it in public.）

Is the relationship between the US and Iraq moderated? United Nations diplomats: Trump and Rouhani meet in New York in September

According to foreign media reports, after the United States resumed sanctions against Iran in the early morning of the 7th, the United States General Trump also issued a strong warning to anyone engaged in trade with Iran. Trump wrote on Twitter: "anyone who does business with Iran will not be able to do business in the United States."

The European Union has declared its opposition to the US's resumption of sanctions against Iran and vowed to protect the legitimate business of European companies.

The United States resumed some sanctions against Iran on the morning of 7, and more stringent sanctions on oil exports will start in November.

President Rouhani of Iran has said that these sanctions are psychological warfare aimed at creating a division among the people of Iran.

However, a few hours before the United States restarted sanctions on Iran, Rouhani said in a televised speech to the national broadcast on the evening of 6: "I have no preconditions. If the US government is willing, let's start now.

A UN official said Trump and Rouhani might meet this year when the UN General Assembly convened in New York in September.

A senior official in Iran said in July 18th that at last year's United Nations General Assembly, the United States had sent an invitation to Iran eight times in the hope that Rouhani could meet Trump, but all of those invitations were rejected by Iran. Since then, Trump has taken various measures to isolate Iran. On May 8, Trump announced that the United States would withdraw from the Iranian nuclear agreement and restart sanctions against Iran in spite of opposition from other UN members.

India media: the Enlightenment of China's higher education to India

The 2018 Nobel Prize for Mathematics was unveiled to Aksai Wenkarsh, an Indian professor from Stanford University in the United States. Four years ago, Manuel balkhara, the same from India, also won the same honor. This once again sparked a sigh of lack of academics and world-class research institutions in India: why do Indians need to achieve such a success in a foreign country?



Shortly after India's independence, India appeared in a number of top research institutions, such as the BARC, the Indian Institutet of Technology (IITs) and the India Institute of management (IIMs), and the initiative and ambition of India's first prime minister, Java Haral Nehru, was the key to the construction of these world-class institutes. It is. Under Nehru, India's research institutes are as many as those built by power plants.



But since then, India's performance in scientific research has been flat, and many developing countries have begun to surpass India in terms of training academic personnel and developing scientific research. The performance of China in this respect has always been extraordinary. In the early twenty-first Century, the gap between the number of top universities in India and China and the gross enrolment rate in higher schools was not quite clear, but since then, China has started to catch up with India and drop it far away.



More Chinese universities have a place in the list of the world's top 500 educational institutions compiled by QS, a British institution, than in India. According to the latest rankings, 22 universities in China are among the top 500, while only 9 in India.



The gap between India and China can also be seen from the frequency and impact of the research publications published in their respective countries. The low level of research output is one of the reasons why Indian research institutions are not ranked high, which is often an important indicator of University rankings.



In 2014, an academic paper pointed out that most of the doctoral students in India did not receive training in independent data collection and related analysis, and they also rarely used different software to verify their assumptions. In contrast, since the end of the 1990s, as part of the five year plan, China has been trying to reform its higher education sector, which has increasingly focused on research and gradually surpassed the United States in the conferring of doctorates. The article mentioned that although Chinese universities were initially dependent on state funding, later, they were able to raise funds from a variety of channels, including students' tuition, university run enterprises and consulting firms' profits, and charitable donations. The increase in resources also increased the enrollment rate of Chinese universities, and surpassed India in early twenty-first Century.



According to global standards, the total expenditure of scientific research in India is very low, and to a large extent, it relies on the support of the government. Unlike western and other Asian economies, charitable giving culture from alumni and businesses has not yet appeared in India. The relationship between research institutes and enterprises is also not developed. Given India's tight financial resources, it may be only with the active involvement of the private sector that high-quality institutions can be established and cutting-edge research promoted.



Improving higher education outcomes also depends on India's ability to improve basic education so that students in Institutions of higher education have basic academic skills. The India Education Annual Report 2017 (ASER) shows that most rural youth in India lack basic skills. According to the survey, more than half of rural youth aged 14 to 18 do not have basic mathematical operations in India.



As the 2014 paper said, "one of the important reasons for China's higher education ahead of India is that it first strengthens the system of compulsory education in primary and secondary schools, and India is now starting to plan to do so."
