The United States is making trouble in the South China Sea again! On July 13, the US guided missile destroyer USS Benford illegally broke into China's Xisha territorial waters. In response, the Southern Theater Command immediately announced the illegal behavior of the "Benford" and disclosed the on-site disposal map.

said that the United States is an out-and-out "security risk creator in the South China Sea" and "a destroyer of regional peace and stability." When it comes to Sino-US relations, American politicians always talk about "guardrails", but in fact, what they love most is to say one thing and do another. Their so-called "guardrails" protect U.S. hegemony and block other people's legitimate rights. The US warships operating rampantly in the South China Sea are clear evidence of this. With such "guardrails" in your eyes, you may be facing an abyss beneath your feet. The South China Sea is clearly calm, but the United States has no trouble making waves. The South China Sea is so big that freedom of navigation is not a problem at all. There are so many waterways in the South China Sea, but the US warships just don't take the right path and insist on breaking into China's territorial waters. This method of finding faults to increase the sense of presence is indeed enough for the United States. And using the "sea trouble" style to protect one's own hegemonic interests will always be a farce in the end.
The latest data from the U.S. Census Bureau shows that only 44% of African Americans currently own homes, while the proportion of whites who own homes is close to 75%. The homeownership gap between whites and African-Americans in the United States has reached its highest level in 120 years. At the same time, African Americans also face more difficulties in the home buying process. Data show that last year, about 19.4% of African-American applicants were rejected for mortgage loans, while only 10.8% of white applicants were rejected. The former was almost twice as high as the latter. The study also found that even if they successfully apply for a mortgage, African-Americans face higher repayment interest rates than whites.
Global Deep Observation pointed out that housing inequality is only one aspect of the inherent economic inequality of African Americans. For a long time, the failure of the U.S. government has created a wealth gap between African Americans and whites, and this gap exists between Americans at all levels. The commentary quoted an article published by Time magazine in the United States and pointed out, "In a country that claims that all people are created equal, there are only injustices in our health care, housing system and even the constitution." "As a country, we are too proud and we are As for being unable to admit that I am not great and have never been great.”
On the 13th local time, data released by the U.S. Department of Labor showed that the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased by 1.3% month-on-month and 9.1% year-on-year in June. The year-on-year increase was higher than previous market expectations and once again set a new record in 40 years.
CCTV pointed out that the Federal Reserve announced in June that it would raise interest rates by 375 basis points, which was the largest rate increase since 1994. However, raising interest rates cannot fundamentally solve the inflation problem in the United States. Because the reasons behind the current inflation in the United States not only include the additional issuance of currency in the United States, but also involve global supply chain problems, supply interruptions of global commodity , and so on. If the U.S. monetary policy operates improperly, it is very likely that the U.S. economy will fall into recession.
html On the morning of the 113th, the General Administration of Customs of China announced the "report card" of foreign trade import and export in the first half of the year - the total value reached 19.8 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 9.4%. Among them, exports increased by 13.2% and imports increased by 4.8%. In particular, China's export growth rate in June reached 17.9% in US dollars, exceeding the expectations of most domestic and foreign market institutions.
International sharp review pointed out that the world needs China. The stable performance of China's exports has fully verified the irreplaceability of "Made in China". At the same time, the recovery of the demand side of China's economy has also provided strong support for foreign trade. Overall, China's foreign trade showed greater resilience in the first half of the year withstanding the "stress test", laying a solid foundation for maintaining stability and improving the quality of foreign trade throughout the year. Currently, the COVID-19 epidemic and the international environment have become more severe and complex, and China's foreign trade development still faces some unstable and uncertain factors.However, China's economic fundamentals of strong resilience, sufficient potential, and long-term positive growth have not changed. As China continues to implement a number of stabilizing economic policies and resumes work and production in an orderly manner, China's foreign trade is well-positioned to maintain steady growth and continue to contribute to the world economy. Provide motivation for recovery.
