The Chief Executive, Mrs Lam, was shocked by the Legislative Council and did not meet with the public after the opening of the news on July 2 at 4 am. After a week, she reappeared today (9th) and met with reporters before the Executive Council.
She bluntly stated that the amendment was "completely failed" and that the public was worried about whether it would reintend the amendments to show that the Ordinance was "the bill is dead".
Regarding the demands of the demonstrators to withdraw the amendments, she believes that social contradictions and disputes are caused by the government's proposed amendments. She admits that the repair work "completely failed" and has apologized earlier. The reason for the failure is that the government's work is not doing well. The social pulse is not mastered enough, the political sensitivity is biased, and because of the overall failure, the work of the amendment has been "completely and comprehensively stopped." However, due to the fragile trust of the citizens in the government, there are still demonstrations to question whether the government will To re-raise the Bill, she stated that the amendments have been "staying dead" and "the bill is dead" (the draft is dead). I hope that the public will not have different understandings of different words.
As for the demonstrators’ withdrawal of the riots, Lin Zheng reiterated that the riots were described by the Commissioner of Police as some of the frontline demonstrators’ self-made weapons to attack police officers. The government did not characterize the 6.12 assembly. She also said that qualitative does not affect the prosecution work in the future. She pointed out that the prosecution work was decided by the Secretary for Justice in accordance with the Basic Law. It was not subject to interference and was not affected by her and the Commissioner of Police.
The demonstrators proposed not to pursue criminal responsibility. Some people also raised amnesty. She believes that this requirement violates the spirit of the rule of law. The draft amendment "End of Life" Refusal to refusal to set up an independent investigation committee The Chief Executive should not interfere with investigations, The Hong Kong Chief Executive puts forward the theory of "end to sleep" but the controversy is still prosecutions or future rulings at this stage. Things need to be handled according to law. This will show that Hong Kong is doing things according to law. society.
Regarding the establishment of an independent investigation committee, Lin Zheng said that all members of the IPCC have unanimously decided to take the initiative to review the work, including the clarification of the facts of large-scale public events from June 9 to July 2, especially concerning violence.
She acknowledged that today's response did not fully satisfy the demonstrators and demands, but she did not think it was a personal facet issue. Instead, she regarded the SAR government as having to consider a number of factors to make a balanced decision. Today's response is practical and she hopes. Social understanding.
As regards the past provision of temporary assistance, the Bill will automatically lapse in July next year. Lin Zheng said that the amendments have been "returned to sleep" and still refused to withdraw. She admits that "there is a difference between the past and the past." However, the public may have to hear a very categorical statement. "The end of life is relative" The argument is that the public should not worry about the means to enable the amendments to be discussed in this Legislative Council: "Withdrawal, in fact, to some extent, today's withdrawal and three months later can also be re-raised to the Legislative Council. Therefore, I believe that the public is very pragmatic in knowing the outcome of the problem.
Asked whether the official is responsible for the downfall, Lin Zheng believes that she has a great responsibility as the chief executive. The Secretary for Justice, Zheng Ruoxi, and the Director of the Security Bureau, Li Jiachao, have sincerely apologized. She pointed out that the public has certain requirements under the accountability system. However, there are many factors to be considered in everything. The Government has "learned a lot of things and learned lessons" to better serve the public. It is also a commitment to the community.
Lin Zheng was asked how he would respond to the amendments and ultimately failed to resolve the Taiwan murder case, and some young people complained of death. [Fugitive Offenders Ordinance] refers to the amendment "End of Life" Lin Zheng admitted that his work failed completely. She said that many people said that the downfall of the Chief Executive is not a simple matter. "I personally serve the people of Hong Kong with enthusiasm." I hope that the community will give her space to change her political style and deal with the demands of the economy and people's livelihood.
She also said that she is "a more emotional person." The Taiwan murder incident has not been resolved. The political sensitivity of the Hong Kong Government is not good enough. "I sincerely apologize." She also said that she was saddened by the fact that some citizens directly or indirectly harmed themselves because of the amendments. They have contacted and mobilized non-government agencies to alleviate the negative feelings of the society.
The controversy over the amendment of the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance in Hong Kong society has not subsided. The demonstrators continued to gather in the streets. More demonstrators had earlier broken into the Legislative Council building. But in addition to street protests, social networks are also staged a battle between true and false news, with the goal of attracting more attention.
Traditional and online media have sent readers information about demonstrations through the platforms of WhatsApp and Facebook over the past few days, but in addition to these reports, there are some pictures, short films and texts that have been deleted, which are misleading or even completely published. False news, robbing the readers of the eye.
Observers who have analyzed Hong Kong news for many years have noticed that these "fake news" are news published by social networking websites that do not belong to any media. In addition, many netizens have not distinguished whether the information is true or not, and the result is a large number of untrue news. The amplitude spread, "the destruction is amazing."
TV station fake
Hong Kong writer Wang Dishi had experienced the power of such "fake news" in person.
She had lunch with friends and left by subway. She just saw two uncles on the phone watching a clip on the mobile phone about the June 21 protesters surrounding the Hong Kong police headquarters. The narration of this episode has been deleted and changed to include the words "I feel very unfortunate, why a new generation of people in Hong Kong might be like this", and the screen still shows the emblem of cable news.
Wired news later issued a statement criticizing the practice of arbitrarily accessing its news clips, causing viewers to mistakenly believe that it was the TV station's report.
The two uncles did not know that the footage had been deleted. While watching, they criticized the demonstrators surrounding the police headquarters and blocked the ambulance personnel from entering the police headquarters building, describing the demonstrators’ actions as “barbaric”.
When Wang Dishi accepted the BBC Chinese interview, she said that she estimated that the two uncles were reasonable people and wanted to explain to the other party that the clip was a "fake news", not a report of cable news. "He was shocked at the time and said to me: ‘No, the clip has the mark of cable news, how can it be fake?’”
One of the uncles said that the piece of news that was deleted was sent to him by a friend who had known him for many years. The other party could not lie to him.
She then opened the social networking page of Cable News and showed the official clarification statement. The uncle did not make a fuss against her, but she was shocked to estimate that the news piece was a false report. Wang Dishi searched for other news media-related reports on his mobile phone. The other party watched it with great concentration and did not speak.
Wang Dishi said that she had not communicated with the other party for the rest of the journey, but it was estimated from the reaction of the other party that he "should not be as confident as before, completely trusting what others sent to his mobile phone."
Truth of truth
Last year in Taiwan, in order to crack down on false news, a local engineer, Xu Wei, launched a program called “Jade Jade”. Users can invite this program to join the communication software group, and then it will detect the messages in the group. Whether there is a false message or not, the evaluation result is automatically issued.
At present, there is no computer program in Hong Kong that is similar to "Jade". However, in recent years, some channels for verifying news have appeared in social networks and communication software. In the environment of information explosion, it is really necessary to try to verify various messages.
One of the cases came from a special page called "Checking the Media". The Hong Kong network circulated a screenshot of the now news station on Monday (July 1). The content was a dialogue between the Pan-Democratic Legislative Council member Mao Mengjing and the attacking Legislative Council demonstrators. The subtitles showed that Mao Mengjing persuaded the other party if they really rushed into the legislation. The building will be regarded as a riot, and the highest can be sentenced to ten years in prison. The other party’s response has already anticipated this consequence. It is said that three people had died in the dispute during the amendments.
However, after the news station issued a statement, the subtitles in the screenshots were deleted. When the demonstrators responded to Mao Mengjing, they actually said that they were “not worthy of the problem”, but Mao Mengjing’s teammates betrayed them.
This misleading message is not only issued by one of the parties to the dispute. The Hong Kong demonstrators re-enclosed the police headquarters on June 26, after which an illustration was circulated on the Internet that a police officer pretending to be a demonstrator incited others to attack the police headquarters and tried to force the opening of the police headquarters with a hoe. However, after "seeking the media" to look at the relevant news segments of the media, he found that he did not bring the gimmicks and did not try to open the gate.
The Hong Kong Government has taken the initiative to clarify some rumors. For example, on Tuesday (July 2), the Hong Kong online media "852 Post" once published a video stating that Lin Zhengyue hoped to dispatch the People's Liberation Army to quell the demonstration. The Government Information Office issued a statement that night, describing the report as "inaccurate". The Chief Executive did not ask the PLA to assist in handling the demonstration.
In addition, the Internet once reported that the Hong Kong police had arrested some people in a public housing estate. It was suspected that it was related to demonstrations in the past few days. However, the Pan-Democratic Legislative Council Member Nuo Xuan attended the scene and confirmed that the information was wrong. The police went to the scene only to deal with it. A case unrelated to the demonstration.
When interviewed by the BBC Chinese interview, the page manager of the “Checking Media” pointed out that they observed that many social networking sites had “dissponsibly spread rumors” during the “Fugitive Offenders Regulations” dispute, and issued many of them in line with their political ideas. Message.
The "Qibu Media" administrator also believes that the performance of smart phones will increase, so that more people can take photos or clips, and then make a story by picture or video content, regardless of whether the descriptions are accurate or not. "The reason for a lot of fake news or misleading messages."
Reader's choice
Chen Liang, an associate professor in the Department of Sociology and Social Policy at Lingnan University in Hong Kong, pointed out that the news materials consumed by the general readers are no longer limited to text reports, but more and more multimedia reports.
When she accepted the BBC Chinese interview, she pointed out that the characteristics of these multimedia reports are that the reader does not need to read every word. It may have a very attractive photo or an exaggerated expression. It seems that it is easy to be preconceived. feel. "This is different from reading a social comment. You have to look at the editorial from the beginning to the end, and then slowly organize it in your mind. What is going on?
Li Lifeng, dean of the School of Journalism and Communication at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, also said in a local media report that it is normal for a social movement to have such a false message, most likely because some people or groups want to promote their position.
Chen Wei believes that to discern the authenticity of a news, the most basic approach is to first understand the background of the media, and try to look at reports from different media. It should not only look at the media belonging to the same camp.
Today's social networks are popular. Many times, when readers “like” the information that suits their position, these social networking sites will start to display only content with similar positions, so that they can only touch content that is consistent with their own position and cannot see the other party. The idea that this phenomenon is often referred to as living in its own "stratosphere."
Chen Wei believes that if you want to know more about the cause and effect of the matter and the complexity, readers "must force themselves to jump out of the 'stratosphere', try to see things that will make them uncomfortable, and then judge by themselves."
"Of course this is a very high requirement. After all, not everyone has so much time, so today's situation is there."
Officials at the top of the US told officials at the Ministry of Commerce that although US-China relations seem to have eased, Huawei is still on the list.
Trump and Xi Jinping agreed to reopen the suspension of negotiations during the meeting of the 20-nation summit in Osaka, Japan. Trump said that it will not impose new tariffs on Chinese exports, but also soften its position on Huawei companies listed on the US sanctions list.
US President Trump unexpectedly retreated from his previous position, saying that US companies are allowed to continue trading with the sanctioned Chinese telecommunications equipment giant Huawei. US companies in the Huawei supply chain welcomed Trump's above.
Trump changed his policy toward Huawei to extend an olive branch to China, trying to restart trade negotiations with China and breaking the trade war deadlock. But in the next few days, many business people and government officials were temporarily unable to determine the new position of the US government.
Huawei is the world's largest supplier of telecommunications equipment. The Chinese telecommunications equipment manufacturing company is considered a spy risk by the United States. The United States also accused Huawei of stealing US intellectual property rights and violating sanctions against Iran. However, Huawei rebutted that the US allegations were unfounded and emphasized that Huawei has always attached importance to cybersecurity.
US: Supply of low-tech chips
According to a Reuters reporter, Sandman, the deputy director of the Export Enforcement Office of the US Department of Commerce's Industry and Security Administration, sent an email to his subordinates. Sandman said in an email that Huawei is still on the US government's sanctions list.
Sandman also said that for companies that require sales to Huawei, the license evaluation depends on the instructions of the Industrial Security Administration of the Ministry of Commerce. But it is not clear when the Ministry of Commerce will give instructions. A US Department of Commerce spokesman said on Wednesday (June 4) that once the audit is completed, a notice will be sent to companies applying for export licenses.
White House's trade adviser Navarro said earlier this week that the US government has allowed a "low-tech" chip export that does not have a national security. Former US National Economic Council Chairman Kudlow also made a similar statement.
After Trump met with Xi Jinping, Schumer, the leader of the US Senate Democratic Party, immediately stated that Huawei is one of the few effective levers for the United States to force China to conduct fair trade. If Trump makes concessions on Huawei, it will greatly weaken the US change. China's ability to conduct unfair trade practices.
US Republican Senator Rubio also said on the same day that Trump met with Xi Jinping that if Trump lifted Huawei’s restrictions, he would make a big mistake, and the US Congress needed to pass legislation to restore restrictions on Huawei. .
James Moore, chief business commentator for The Independent, believes that changing the policy toward Huawei requires a change in the overall political climate.
Britain: geopolitical dispute
Huawei is the main equipment supplier of British Telecom, but the UK still has no final decision on whether to allow Huawei to join the 5G network. Previously, the UK government supply chain report and the recommendations of the National Cyber Security Center believed that Huawei could enter the UK's 5G market.
At present, the UK's largest and third largest telecommunications company EE and Vodafone have launched the launch of 5G network services, vying for the UK 5G service market. The UK mobile network market is expected to be worth £51 billion by 2030.
James Moore said that Huawei's technology is very good. It is said that they respond quickly to customer requests and are more adept at tailoring equipment for their customers. However, because of the tailoring, this kind of equipment is very different, which also increases the difficulty of assessment by security personnel.
He also believes that if Huawei is excluded from the 5G network, the UK will have to pay a high price. Because it will be built on the existing 4G network from time to time, the telecommunications companies involved in the construction need to dismantle the existing facilities and start from scratch.
British Prime Minister Theresa May will soon be replaced by the party's contenders, the British Foreign Secretary Hunter, or London's former mayor Johnson. No matter who can be in the position, Moore commented that both of them are competing to portray themselves as Trump's best friends, so they pay more attention to Trump's Twitter, not to Huawei (really, still Imagine) security considerations.
Moore said that security concerns about Huawei are mainly political issues. The experience of the communications company did not confirm the security concerns of Huawei equipment. Some independent evaluations have found examples of technical deficiencies, but so far there is no evidence that there are malicious designs behind these technical deficiencies.
However, the famous British commentator Paul Mason wrote in the "New Politician" magazine that Huawei is concerned about the geopolitical interests of the United Kingdom, and the Teresa May government, which is busy with Brexit, made a wrong decision for Huawei. The UK's long-term strategic opponent is trying to divide Russia and its partner China, which is disintegrating Europe.
After Hong Kong’s most serious legislative impact in recent years, both the founding and the Pan-Democrats continued to accuse each other, but at the same time, the outside eyes cast their attention on how the Hong Kong government would handle the follow-up.
The Hong Kong formed faction condemned the demonstrators for destroying the facilities of the Legislative Council. The violence used was not accepted by the Hong Kong community. The Pan-Democrats believed that the Hong Kong Government’s reluctance to listen to the voices of young people was part of the cause of the conflict.
The Hong Kong government has recently started to do some remedial work, including inviting student representatives to meet and try to ease the tension. However, the analysis believes that many young people do not trust the Hong Kong government. If the government still refuses to make any concessions on the demands of the demonstrators, it will not be able to break the current stalemate.
Airspace confrontation
After the demonstrators broke into the Hong Kong Legislative Council building on Monday (July 1), the Hong Kong government and members of the formed system blamed the demonstrators for their actions. Among them, Lin Zhengyue criticized the demonstrators for using "extreme violence" to break into the building. Members of the formed faction pointed out that even if the government did not respond to all the demands of the demonstrators, it could not rationalize the destructive behavior of the demonstrators.
However, the Pan-Democrats pointed out that the demonstrators had broken the Legislative Council because the current political system could not reflect public opinion at all. It was described that if the demonstrators need to be responsible, the government must be responsible for their actions.
With the conflict in Monday, the attention of the outside world turned to the follow-up action of the Hong Kong government. Many former high-ranking officials of the formed camps voiced criticisms of demonstrators. The vice chairman of the Chinese National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and former Hong Kong Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa criticized the demonstrators who attacked the Legislative Council. The police must find out their identity.
Fan Xu Litai, the former chairman of the Legislative Council, noticed that the demonstrators’ actions were mainly aimed at the Chinese government and China’s symbol of Hong Kong’s rule. They also displayed the banner of the British Hong Kong era in front of the Legislative Council’s rostrum and questioned whether the demonstrators were going back to the colonial era. "When second class citizens."
The Chief Executive's Office of Hong Kong revealed that Lin Zhengyue had been interviewing different parties and groups from all walks of life in the past few days, including college students and young people participating in recent demonstrations. The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Student Union revealed on Thursday (July 4) that they received an invitation from Lin Zhengyue to close the door, but they refused. The Student Union spokesperson believes that the meeting should be conducted in public and should include representatives from various sectors, as the Student Union “does not dare and cannot” represent all demonstrators.
There are still many news of the continued demonstrations in the online discussion forum, including the launch of the march in Kowloon on Sunday (July 7). The promoters said that the march will reaffirm the demands of demonstrators in the Legislative Council Chamber on Monday, including the government’s complete withdrawal of the Fugitive Offenders Regulations, the establishment of an independent committee to investigate the police conflict on June 12, and the direct election as soon as possible. All the Chief Executive and the Legislative Council are elected.
Do not trust the government
Zhong Jianhua, director of the Center for Social Policy Studies at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, believes that if the Hong Kong government does not respond to the demands of demonstrators, it will not be able to ease the current tension in society. When he was interviewed by the BBC Chinese, he said that Lin Zhengyue still did not meet with the Pan-Democrats and described the approach as "very poor."
"If the government has a predecessor to do things, for example, to isolate the so-called opposition parties in their mouths, not let the other party make meritorious deeds, and at the same time not to make concessions just mentioned, I feel that the government can do little and not too much. ""
The Hong Kong Government has not completely failed to respond to the demands of the demonstrators, including repeated reaffirmation of the suspension of the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance. The amendments will automatically lapse at the end of next year's Legislative Council. The Government also earlier pointed out that it would respect the Independent Police Complaints Commission ("IPCC") to investigate the police's handling of recent demonstrations and submit a report to the government within six months.
But Zhong Jianhua believes that the problem now is that the public does not trust the government. "When everyone does not trust the government, even if the government says anything, even if the government says how confessed, if it is not clear, everyone will still not believe it.
What is the difference between the IPCC investigation and the independent investigation committee?
The IPCC is an organization that handles complaints against police in Hong Kong and is independent of the police. However, the IPCC does not have the power to call witnesses to give evidence. The information provided by the complainant can also be used in future judicial proceedings. The complainant or witness may choose not to make a complaint or give evidence because he is afraid to disclose information that is unfavourable to him. The outside world is also worried that most of the members of the IPCC have a background in the establishment of a system and cannot make a fair and just ruling.
The Independent Investigation Committee was set up by the Chief Executive as needed to investigate a single incident. For example, the Hong Kong Railway was previously exposed to the construction of a new station. The building level was not up to standard. Some engineers were suspected of issuing a certificate of falsification. The Chief Executive, Mrs Lam, set up an investigation committee.
The chairman of these commissions of inquiry is usually chaired by a judge who has the power to call witnesses to give evidence. The information provided by witnesses or complainants will only be used during the investigation process and cannot be used as evidence in any future court trials. More effective protection of the rights of witnesses or complainants.
Swing space "not much"
The Hong Kong police announced on Thursday that they had arrested 12 people in the case of the impact of the Legislative Council. They suspected that they were involved in possession of offensive weapons, illegal assembly, assaulting police and other crimes. Another person was arrested for the incident surrounding the police headquarters last month. In addition, nine people were arrested for publishing personal information of some police officers on the Internet.
Zeng Yucheng, the founding party of the founding party, said that when young people were convicted for demonstrating, Lin Zhengyue could consider giving them special features.
Zhong Jianhua believes that the Hong Kong government will then arrest some of the more "outrageous" demonstrators and ask them to go through the trial process, but there are still a lot of room for manoeuvre, such as the choice of prosecution. For example, he said that when the Hong Kong government accused Dai Yaoting and other promoters of the "Occupy Central" movement, he did not accuse them of "illegal assembly" and instead filed a more serious crime of "inciting others to harass the public".
He pointed out that when the government handles the stage of the case, it will definitely cause controversy again. He believes that in order to alleviate the situation, the Hong Kong Government can definitely withdraw the amendments to the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance or set up a comprehensive investigation committee that is not solely for police operations. "I feel that if the government refuses to give in even these things, what it has done in the past few days will not be too effective.
British Foreign Secretary Hunter warned China not to suppress Hong Kong's democracy when it talked about the protests in Hong Kong, and said that there would be "serious consequences." This statement immediately triggered a chain reaction, which also aroused curiosity from all walks of life.
Shortly after Foreign Minister Hunter’s speech, Liu Xiaoming, the Chinese ambassador to Britain, immediately convened a press conference to accuse the Minister of Hunter of interfering in China’s internal affairs. This is a manifestation of “colonial thinking”.
British Foreign Secretary McDonald also immediately summoned Liu Xiaoming to discuss the issue.
British China Diplomatic Debate
Why did British Foreign Secretary Hunter warn China again when China warned Britain to interfere in internal affairs? What might be the serious consequences of Minister Hunter?
It is worth noting that Hunter is currently running for the position of leader of the British Conservative Party. If he wins the election, he will become the British Prime Minister.
Michel Hussein, the famous host of the BBC Radio 4, interviewed Hunter in the morning and asked him about his attitude toward the domestic and foreign policy package. He talked about the current sword between the UK and China.
Hunt said that China’s reaction is not surprising. But what China needs to understand is that the UK must also abide by international commitments. Hunt said that the UK signed a Sino-British joint statement on the Hong Kong issue. The statement clearly stated that the Hong Kong system has remained unchanged for 50 years. The British side expects China to honor this commitment.
Hussein pointed out that the joint statement stipulates that after the transfer of Hong Kong sovereignty to China, it will be placed under the leadership of the Chinese central government.
Hunt said that the joint statement gives the Hong Kong SAR a high degree of autonomy and Hong Kong's fundamental freedoms are guaranteed. This is the basis for the transfer of sovereignty. This is also the basis for Hong Kong's great global success. The combination of active business and protection of democratic freedom rights environment of.
Hunt said that Britain recognizes Hong Kong as part of China. I just want to say that I hope that the agreement reached between the British side and China will be respected and guaranteed.
UK-China relations are affected
Hussein pointed out to Hunter that the Chinese side is angry that after some people have violently attacked the Hong Kong Legislative Council, you talked about the protection of freedom and expressed that it is on the side of the law-breaking people. The Chinese media also accuse you of undermining Sino-British relations for personal gain.
Hunter said that both his personal and British government condemned any form of violence. People in Hong Kong who support peaceful demonstrations are also uneasy about violent attacks. He did not support violence. But what he hopes to express is that the kind of violence should not be suppressed by violence, but by understanding the root cause of the protesters’ fear that the freedom they have enjoyed may be destroyed by the bill.
Regarding the impact on the handling of violent people in the Legislative Council, Hunter said that Hong Kong has its own independent judicial system. As a British foreign minister, he will not speculate on how the Hong Kong judicial system will deal with violent shocks. The serious consequences he said were that the international agreements reached between the Chinese and British sides were violated.
Call for the maintenance of international rules and order
Hunter said that although there are recent differences, Sino-British relations (in recent years) have generally developed well. There is no reason for the future to develop very well. But for the UK, the most important thing is that the commitment of one country, two systems must be observed.
Hunt emphasized that China has benefited greatly from the rule-based international system. Countries that have reached international agreements in this system mutually abide by relevant agreements, so if they do not comply with the relevant international agreements reached between China and Britain, they will certainly It will have consequences for the UK.
When questioned about the serious consequences of the question and what action the British government will take, Hunter said that the British Foreign Secretary will not specify what specific measures are in place. This is what the former US President Bill Clinton said is vague. meaning. The specific measures are not stated, in order to avoid the things that I hope to avoid.
Hunt emphasized that historically, the United Kingdom has always been a country that advocates democracy, freedom and civil rights. This is a matter of principle and cannot be traded. Therefore, it is considered that the current situation is very serious and worrying. Therefore, the United Kingdom only requires that the spirit of the Sino-British Joint Declaration of 1984 be obeyed.
Boeing will provide $100 million in funding to assist two families of Indonesian Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines in the 737Max air crash.
The aid funds will be gradually put in place within a few years, and it is said that the lawsuit related to the crash has nothing to do. The two air crashes caused a total of 346 deaths.
Boeing said the funds will be used for education, living expenses, and local community projects for the families of the victims.
The lawyers of the families of the victims did not recognize the move.
In March of this year, Ethiopian Airlines ET302 crashed, which was the second fatal accident related to the 737Max model in five months. In October 2018, the Indonesian Lions aircraft crashed in the waters near Jakarta.
Air crash investigators are concerned about the aircraft's control system, and Boeing has been working with regulators to launch upgrade software. Since March, the best-selling 737Max model has been grounded worldwide, and the specific go-around time is undecided.
The Ethiopian airliner crashed 157 people and found 8 Chinese citizens on board.
Boeing faces torture. After the Ethiopian accident, China grounded the same aircraft.
Indonesian Lion Air crashed: 189 life is dead. Search and rescue department salvage suspected passenger plane wreck
Indonesian Lion Airlines is difficult: Boeing's new best-selling models are facing
Boeing said in a statement on Wednesday that the funds will be used to support the education, hardship and living expenses of affected families, as well as the economic development of community projects and affected communities. Boeing will work with local governments and nonprofits to help meet these needs. This initial investment will be gradually completed in the next few years.
Dennis Muilenburg, Chairman, President and CEO of Boeing, added: "All Boeing colleagues apologize for the tragic loss of life in the two accidents, and we will always remember these lost lives. ”
"We express our sincere condolences to the relatives and friends of the crew and hope that this initial measure will bring comfort to them," he said.
"Insincere"
A lawyer from Texas, who is part of the family of ET302 victims, Nomi Husain said that Boeing’s funds “are not enough to compensate for the loss of family members”.
He told the BBC, “Some of our customers are not interested in financial compensation at the moment.” Boeing “puts the interests of safety first and wants to get their best-selling models on the market”. Boeing denied this.
Hussein has so far filed seven lawsuits on behalf of the families of the victims, including litigation claims for $276 million. He estimated that the families of the victims have filed about 50 lawsuits so far.
He said that some families are waiting for the technical reasons for the crash and how the regulator handles the flight of the aircraft. They will file a lawsuit later. There are other families who just want the truth.
At the same time, Robert Clifford, a representative of 23 families, said: “It is unprecedented to provide (finance) so early in the litigation phase. Because there is still much to be understood about what is happening, it It also looks very dishonest."

More than 90 US Asian affairs experts, including former diplomats, said in an open letter to President Trump and members of Congress that they are deeply worried about the deterioration of US-China relations, and the deterioration of relations between the two countries is not in line with the United States and The interests of the whole world.
The open letter, published in the Washington Post on Wednesday, July 3, entitled "China is not an enemy," said that they are from the academic, diplomatic, military, and business worlds, most of them from the United States, many of whom have spent their entire careers. Focus on Asia.
The letter then explains from seven aspects why it is unfavorable for the United States to shape China into an enemy of the United States, and points out that there is no overwhelming consensus in Washington that must be enemies with China.
The open letter first pointed out that China’s actions in recent years have been quite disturbing, including intensifying domestic persecution, strengthening control over private companies, abandoning trade commitments, striving to manipulate foreign public opinion, and more aggressive foreign policy, all of which are facing the world. serious challenge. These challenges require a firm and strong response from the United States, but the current treatment in the United States is fundamentally counterproductive.
Despite pointing out China’s challenges, these Chinese experts say they don’t think China is the “economic enemy” of the United States, nor do they believe that China is a national security threat that the United States must confront in all areas. They said that China is not a monolithic piece and the leaders are not static.
This is a professor from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Fu Tailin, former US ambassador to China, Qi Xiaoying, senior researcher at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Shi Wen, former US Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs, Dong Yunshang, and Harvard University professor Fu Gaoyi. He wrote, with a total of 95 signatures, including some officials responsible for Chinese affairs during the Obama and Bush administrations.
US-China relations have continued to deteriorate in recent years due to a series of serious differences, including a trade war that imposes huge tariffs on each other, the United States accuses China of a large-scale and all-round espionage campaign against the United States, and China’s intensification of military modernization operations in the Western Pacific and South China Sea. Seriously threaten the advantages and security of the United States.
In view of China's series of actions under Xi Jinping's leadership, there is a constant public opinion in the United States that should re-examine the US's China policy, but there are also critics like this open letter author urging the Trump government not to shape China into an enemy.
On the issue of China’s military threat, this open letter said that Beijing’s military strength has eroded the US’s long-standing military superiority in the Western Pacific, but the arms race is not the best response. By maintaining cooperation with the allies, it is the deterrent. A more sensible policy.
Washington —
On a sunny morning, Aziz Isa Elkun walked the streets of London with her little daughter's hand and told her the story of the free bird.
The audience initially thought that this was an ordinary father with his daughter to go to school, but the conversation between the two soon revealed that thousands of overseas Uighurs could not "fly back" their mood in the hometown of Xinjiang, China.
Producer Alken said to his daughter in a short film based on a true story, "Don't Answer the Phone," "Daughter, look at the birds." "They fly freely on the tree; they don't understand what is the border." If I am a bird at the moment, I will fly back directly to my hometown."
the film
The film goes on to talk about the homesickness of overseas Uighurs. They want to know the news of their loved ones in their hometown of Xinjiang.
Alken met the French Nice girl Lucy. Lucy also took her daughter to school and used her mobile phone to talk with her mother who was celebrating her 80th birthday.
Alken said to his new friend Lucy, "You can have a video call with your mother, I am envious."
Alken told the Voice of America that his father died in October 2017. He does not know if the 76-year-old mother is still alive because she has not answered the phone since the beginning of 2018.
"I only heard that my father's physical condition has deteriorated. I applied for a visa to the Chinese Embassy in London on humanitarian grounds, and I can apply for a visa." His last call with his mother was in January 2018. The mother told him at the time that the Chinese police ordered her not to answer the calls from overseas, otherwise "the consequences are conceited."
Alken said, "I was very surprised and very angry and sad. I called her again after a week, but no one answered." He then named the film "No Calls".
Alken came to British political asylum in 2001 and is now a British citizen living in London with his wife and two children. He is a researcher and writes for the University of London, and he is actively pursuing the rights of the Uighur minority.
Alken said that the film premiered in Washington, DC last month would allow more people to understand the suffering of the Uighurs in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region suffered from the brutal suppression of the CCP.
Alken said, "I just hope to convey a voice through this film." "Many people don't know the situation of Uighurs at the moment. Uighurs living abroad are trying to understand the current situation of their families. Many people have not passed the family for many years. The words."
Uighur problem
Xinjiang, located in northwestern China, has nearly 22 million people and is the largest Muslim gathering place in China. There are an expected 13 million Uighurs and other Turkic Muslim minorities.
The Chinese government has detained more than one million Uighurs and other Muslims in recent years and has placed them in the so-called re-education camp. To this end, the Chinese government is receiving more and more international criticism.
Chinese officials say these places are nothing more than vocational training centers, and they must take these measures in order to combat the "three evil forces" of "terrorism, religious extremism and separatism."
Ethnic cleaning
But many experts and human rights groups believe that the government's crackdown is a systematic ethnic cleansing.
Rebecca Clothey is the Director of Global Studies at Drexel University and a researcher on Uighur issues. She said that Chinese officials cut off the links between Xinjiang Uighurs and the outside world to cover up local actions.
She said that this kind of isolation has had a serious psychological impact on Uighurs living abroad.
Clos said to the Voice of America, "Local Uighurs are afraid to talk to outsiders because they fear being accused of talking to 'terrorists.'
New monitoring measures
A recent Human Rights Watch report said the Chinese government deployed a surveillance system to monitor popular communications applications such as WhatsApp, Viber, Telegram and Virtual Private Networks. The report says the new system also closely tracks interpersonal interactions, tracking people who are supervised by the police or who have just acquired a new phone number.
Human Rights Watch said that during the crackdown campaign in China, the authorities collected biometrics for all people between the ages of 12 and 65 in Xinjiang, including DNA samples, fingerprints, eye scans and blood types.
Alken told the Voice of America that despite the severe pressure from the authorities, he still believed that the people would maintain their ethnic identity. He said that his film would enable Uighurs who grew up overseas to remember Xinjiang and remember the land that Uighur called "East Turkistan."
At the end of the film, her daughter told Elken that she told her teachers and classmates that she was from “East Turkistan, a country that has no independent country”.
Alken said, "My smart daughter, your father is proud of you." He said, "You know that your father can't live without it. This is his identity. This is his whole. East Turki is an occupied country, belongs to your father, belongs to his children and children's children.
On July 2, the State Council's Office of Poverty Alleviation, 283 poverty-stricken counties announced that China has lifted out of poverty this year. So far, 436 poverty-stricken counties in the country have been out of poverty, accounting for 52.4% of all poverty-stricken counties. More than half of the poverty-stricken counties have been removed, and the pace of regional poverty has been accelerated.
In 2020, a well-off society will be built in an all-round way, and it is a task that must be completed to achieve poverty alleviation of the poor population under the current standards. Nowadays, the poverty-stricken counties have more than half of the process of “cap the hat”. The rest of the work for poverty alleviation is “hard bones”. How can we get rid of poverty and never win the battle?
Xi Jinping said to the villagers, "Poverty alleviation is the most important thing in my heart." Poverty alleviation has always been a concern and concern of Xi Jinping, and it has been the most costly thing for him for more than 40 years.
From the loess high slope to the Yulin sea, from the snow plateau to the grassland pastoral area, from the northwestern border to the Yunnan-Guizhou plateau, Xi Jinping has repeatedly visited the poorest and most backward areas of China to check the true feelings and see the poor. He once said, "They have difficulties in their lives, and I feel worried. I feel happy every time they live better."
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has put the fight against poverty into a prominent position in the governance of the country, and has launched a battle for poverty alleviation. The strength of the fight against poverty and the strength of the scale and the depth of influence have never been seen before. Poverty alleviation and entry into the countdown, Xi Jinping's requirements for poverty alleviation work, the words are still in the ears.
Poverty alleviation work requires clear tasks, building a well-off society in an all-round way, and not letting one person fall behind. The "comprehensive" of building a well-off society in an all-round way is not only reflected in the comprehensive coverage of the people covered, but also in the comprehensive areas involved.
As Xi Jinping said: "A well-off society is not a well-off society, and the key is to look at fellow villagers." "We cannot announce that a well-off society has been fully established. On the other side, the living standards of tens of millions of people are below the poverty alleviation standard line. This affects the people. The satisfaction of building a well-off society in an all-round way also affects the recognition of the international community for building a well-off society in China."

The reason why China's poverty reduction cause can achieve world-renowned achievements is inseparable from a fundamental core: adhering to the leadership of the Communist Party of China.
As Xi Jinping said: "Standing on the party's leadership and exerting the socialist system can concentrate on the advantages of doing big things. This is our greatest political advantage. To achieve poverty alleviation as scheduled is a solemn commitment made by our party to the people of the country."
