Earlier this year, after Iranian military commander [ Qassem Soleimani was killed by a US airstrike in Iraq], "World War III" quickly began trending on Twitter. It didn't take long for meme accounts to begin creating content about impending war -- some of which was [ criticized for being insensitive, distasteful] or coming from a place of privilege. Still, those memes largely provided an outlet for some people to diffuse feelings of doom and uncertainty. Memes can also help people struggling with [ ]. "Using humor is just how people cope in grim circumstances, and it's a very healthy response," says psychologist April Foreman, an executive board member of the American Association of Suicidology. "Human beings are wired to cope, and we're wired to be funny -- even darkly humorous." Now playing: Watch this: Coronavirus lockdown: Why social distancing saves lives 5:41 Global reach What makes the current situation unique, Foreman notes, is its global impact. Billions of people around the world are in the same predicament -- many are staying home, living in fear of the virus' rapid spread -- and are connected digitally through smartphones, computers and social media. People use these outlets to stay in touch and to relate to one another through humor. "Human beings are wired to cope, and we're wired to be funny -- even darkly humorous." April Foreman Unlike other tragedies such as terrorist attacks or natural disasters, COVID-19 is a slow-developing crisis where the guidance is to stay home and do nothing, notes psychologist Bart Andrews. As a result, there's a "sense of helplessness in inaction," he says, since this isn't a scenario where people can help by getting together for volunteer drives or by pulling people out of buildings. They can't even release anxiety by going to the gym or to church. Instead, they turn to memes. "Using humor as a coping strategy and connecting with other people who have that same approach has been greatly normalized through the digitization of our culture," Andrews says. "Now, people who use humor as a coping strategy have instantaneous access to millions of other people, and we find our niches and networks." People online have found ways to make light of even dire circumstances like quarantine. [ @Michael1979/Twitter] George Resch, director of influencer marketing at BrandFire and meme maker behind the Instagram account Tank Sinatra, says humor is always his first instinct when a difficult situation arises. He's posted content ranging from [ mocking people who refuse to follow social distancing rules] to the [ struggles of looking OK during virtual meetings]. He's also poked fun at the idea that someday, we'll tell our grandkids that amid this pandemic, [ all we did was share memes]. While the overall response to Resch's content has been positive, he acknowledges that a couple of doctors and nurses have reached out to him saying they'd appreciate it if he didn't make light of such a serious situation. "My response to them was, 'I fully understand that this is serious and I appreciate you guys being out there helping people. However, humor is how I've always dealt with things and I can't stop now,'" Resch said. "Not just for me, but for people out there who are freaked out, sometimes a little laugh is the only bit of sanity you have in your entire day." Amanda Jacobsmeyer, a 26-year-old publicist in Harlem, New York, says that for a generation that grew up on Tumblr, humor is a way of coping with just about anything. "It's a little bit of a reprieve from having to feel constantly scared or anxious or worried about other people," Jacobsmeyer says. "It doesn't remove those feelings. It just distracts me from them for a minute, which is nice." The threat of misinformation In our search for [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/blog/kinh-nghiem-kham-pha-shangri-la-vung-dat-cua-tinh-yeu.html tour Lệ Giang] positivity and more information, there's a risk of spreading misinformation via infographics, tweets and memes, whether intentionally or not. Take, for example, what happened earlier this month, when a couple of Twitter users seemingly found some good news about the positive impact of millions of people staying home because of the virus. Swans and dolphins had apparently returned to canals in Venice that had been deserted by humans, and elephants in a village in Yunnan, China, got drunk off of corn wine until they fell asleep in a tea garden. These reports went viral and were shared on Instagram and TikTok, offering a bit of optimism -- until news came out that [ they weren't true]. Sometimes a little laugh is the only bit of sanity you have in your entire day. George Resch "The phenomenon highlights how quickly eye-popping, too-good-to-be-true rumors can spread in times of crisis," reporter Natasha Daly writes in a National Geographic piece about the fake news. "People are compelled to share posts that make them emotional. When we're feeling stressed, joyous animal footage can be an irresistible salve." Memes can be an escape from -- or a way to poke fun at -- the influx of bad news. George Resch/Tank Sinatra Generational differences can also play a role in spreading misinformation. Younger people who are better versed in meme culture might be more skeptical and careful when they come across information that seems outlandish or that contains tongue-in-cheek humor. It might be harder for older audiences to understand satire in a meme. There are, for instance, several memes pointing to unsanitary conditions and experiences, joking that anyone who's survived those situations will also survive coronavirus. That is, of course, not true, though Khanaka admits this kind of content can contribute to a false sense of security for some people. Foreman advises people to be thoughtful about not only what content they consume, but who they follow on social media and what information they pass on. She urges people to check the accuracy of content before reposting. "If there's one thing we've learned from [ ] and other things in the world, we know that people can intentionally use memes, humor and social media as very effective attitude influencers and behavioral propaganda," Foreman says. "Nobody is immune to it." Distracted Boyfriend gets the quarantine treatment. Bay Area Meme Council/Instagram There's also a danger in taking humor too far. Social media influencer Ava Louise caused a stir when she [ shared a video of herself licking a toilet seat] as part of something she dubbed the "coronavirus challenge." The video caused an uproar on Twitter as people slammed her for undermining the severity of the disease. Basketball player [ Rudy Gobert] also faced backlash after he jokingly touched several reporters' microphones and audio recorders during a press conference, before [ testing positive for COVID-19]. Foreman says digital communities are generally good at regulating people who have gone too far by giving them feedback, banning them or removing harmful content. Jokes that incorporate mindfulness or that poke fun at the odd characteristics of the situation are more effective at improving people's moods than something that causes harm, she says. For people like Khanaka, humor [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/blog/kinh-nghiem-kham-pha-shangri-la-vung-dat-cua-tinh-yeu.html tour Lệ Giang] has been a much-needed relief in a time of heightened fear and anxiety. "Without humor, the alternative is to just wallow in sadness and isolation, which is not healthy," Khanaka says. "It's a way of coping and connecting."

By Tom Daly and Min Zhang Nov 16 (Reuters) - China's monthly aluminium output in October rose 9.7% from a year earlier to a record high, official data showed on Monday, as new smelting capacity ramped up to cash in on strong prices. The world's top aluminium-producing country churned out 3.20 million tonnes of the primary metal last month, which was up 1.2% from 3.162 million tonnes in September, the National Bureau of Statistics said. Consultancy Baiinfo estimates 245,000 tonnes of annual aluminium production capacity was commissioned in China in October, almost half in the emerging smelting hub of Yunnan province, with the remainder in Sichuan and Inner Mongolia. Hu Bin, an analyst with Founder CIFCO Futures, noted 1.955 million tonnes of new capacity had been put into production from January to Nov. 12 and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/blog/kinh-nghiem-kham-pha-shangri-la-vung-dat-cua-tinh-yeu.html tour Lệ Giang] that high aluminium prices encouraged smelters to produce more aluminium. National output in the first 10 months of 2020 rose 3.5% year-on-year to 30.63 million tonnes, the bureau said, keeping China on course to set a new annual production record this year after a rare drop in 2019. Unlike previous years, analysts expect Chinese smelters to cut little or [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/blog/kinh-nghiem-kham-pha-shangri-la-vung-dat-cua-tinh-yeu.html kynghidongduong.vn] no [http://www.broowaha.com/search/aluminium%20output aluminium output] over the 2020/21 peak winter heating season in northern China as most have upgraded facilities to meet new emissions standards and are not required to reduce production for environmental reasons. Smelters can therefore make the most of strong Shanghai aluminium prices, which rose 2.9% in October and are trading near three-year highs above 15,500 yuan a tonne on dwindling inventories, providing healthy margins. Meanwhile, China's production of 10 nonferrous metals - including copper, aluminium, lead, zinc and nickel - in October rose 9% year-on-year and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/blog/kinh-nghiem-kham-pha-shangri-la-vung-dat-cua-tinh-yeu.html tour shangrila] 2.4% from September to 5.45 million tonnes, also setting a record monthly high. January-October output for this group - which also includes tin, antimony, mercury, magnesium and titanium - was up 4.3% year-on-year at 50.69 million tonnes, likewise on course to set an annual record. "Overall stimulus towards nonferrous metals is good, so is downstream demand...output is expected to continue to grow steadily in the rest of the year," Hu said.

BANGKOK, Oct 22 (Reuters) - China on Thursday signed an agreement with the [http://www.bbc.co.uk/search/?q=Mekong%20River Mekong River] Commission (MRC) to share year-round data on the flow of its portion of the vital waterway amid concern that Chinese dams may be causing drought downstream in Southeast Asia. A push for more data from China's portion of the Mekong River - which Beijing calls the Lancang River - intensified this year after U.S. government criticism that 11 Chinese dams were "hoarding" water and hurting livelihoods downstream, an accusation Beijing denies. "This agreement is a landmark in the history of China-MRC cooperation," An Pich Hatda, the MRC Secretariat Chief Executive Officer, said in a statement on Thursday. He added that data-sharing is critical to the management of the Mekong, on which 60 million people depend for [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/blog/kinh-nghiem-kham-pha-shangri-la-vung-dat-cua-tinh-yeu.html tour Lệ Giang giá rẻ] fishing and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/blog/kinh-nghiem-kham-pha-shangri-la-vung-dat-cua-tinh-yeu.html kynghidongduong.vn] farming in downstream countries Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. Two years of record drought on the 4,350-km (2,700-mile) waterway have severely harmed livelihoods and raised questions over how mainstream Mekong dams in China and downstream in Laos were affecting the flow of water. China has for 18 years shared water during the June to October monsoon season with the MRC - an advisory body to member countries Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam - to provide early flood warnings. However, with drought an increasing concern, the MRC has been seeking year-round data to help analyse what may be causing the river's low flow. China's prime minister in August pledged to provide more data, but it previously had been unclear whether it would come through Beijing's own Lancang-Mekong Cooperation body or the 25-year-old MRC. The new agreement will see China provide year-round data from two hydrological stations in Yunnan Province, including rainfall and [http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/search/index.cfm?term=&river%20level&loc=en_us&siteSection=home river level] data, the MRC said. China also agreed to report any unusual rise or fall in water levels, it said. (Reporting by Kay Johnson; Editing by Ed Davies, Martin Petty)

With the rise of [http://www.homeclick.com/web/search/search.aspx?Ntt=Pu-erh%20tea Pu-erh tea] fever, this ancient tea species originally produced in the old forests in the deep mountains of Yunnan is increasingly loved by modern people. So what are the characteristics of Pu-erh that can make it loved by many lovers, collectors, and health lovers? Pu-erh tea is unique in its origin, variety, quality, production process, shape packaging, and drinking. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push(); Pu-erh tea is produced in the mountains or wild tea forests in the Lancang River Basin of Yunnan Province. This place has the characteristics of wet all year round, diffuse clouds, deep soil layers, fertile land, and pollution-free. The tea produced is pure natural organic environment. The wild Pu-erh tree has hundreds of years of history, such as ox hair, and is mixed with camphor and jujube trees. Therefore, after brewing tea, it will have unique aromas such as camphor and jujube, which are of superior quality. Pu-erh tea belongs to Yunnan big leaf species. Its characteristics are: long and strong buds, more white shrubs, silvery luster, large and soft leaves, thick stems and long internodes, long shoots and vigorous development. According to tea scientific research data, the water extract, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/blog/kinh-nghiem-kham-pha-shangri-la-vung-dat-cua-tinh-yeu.html tour Lệ Giang] tea polyphenols, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/blog/kinh-nghiem-kham-pha-shangri-la-vung-dat-cua-tinh-yeu.html tour shangrila] and catechins per gram of Yunnan big leaf tea are much higher than other famous teas in China. This is the fact that Puer drink can continue to ferment, grow older, and form a unique quality Material basis. The most fundamental characteristic of Pu-erh quality is that it is "drinkable antique", which has the characteristics of getting older and more fragrant, which makes it run counter to the traditional characteristics of "tea expensive new, wine expensive long". Pu-erh tea can be continuously fermented in the air. The longer the tea is stored, the more fragrant it becomes. With the extension of the aging period of the box, the quality is getting better and better. The century-old treasures are more expensive than gold. Pu-erh tea is also different from other teas in that it is made by natural fermentation or artificial pile fermentation on the basis of [http://www.zixiutangpollencapsules.com/?s=sun-dried%20green sun-dried green] tea. Sun burning and post-fermentation are the key to different from other teas. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push(); The shape and packaging of it are also unique. In addition to loose tea, Pu-erh tea can be made into cake, tuo cha, square tea, brick etc., with various shapes. On the packaging, Pu-erh mostly uses natural materials, such as bamboo leaves, bamboo baskets, and barley, which are both ventilated and breathable for fermentation, and full of simplicity, which is convenient for transportation, drinking, and preservation. Pu-erh is one of the most famous teas in China for brewing skills and art of drinking. Its drinking methods are extremely rich, and it can be drunk or mixed. Drinking barely refers to brewing without any auxiliary materials, which is more common in the Han nationality; mixed drinking refers to adding arbitrary favorite materials to that, which is more common in ethnic minorities such as Tibetan butter drink. With the deepening of health care awareness, people in Da'an also often add health materials such as chrysanthemum, wolfberry, and American ginseng to Pu-erh. Bubble resistance is also a characteristic of Pu-erh. The aged Pu-erh can be brewed in a covered bowl or purple sand [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/blog/kinh-nghiem-kham-pha-shangri-la-vung-dat-cua-tinh-yeu.html kynghidongduong.vn] pot, which can brew more than 20 bubbles.

Vaccines Not Spy Planes: U.S. Misfires In Southeast Asia

2021-01-02T21:29:15Z

CarmelaDelany:

By Tom Allard JAKARTA, Oct 27 (Reuters) - For months, by Zoom calls and then by jet, Indonesian ministers and officials scoured the world for access to a vaccine for the coronavirus that Southeast Asia's biggest country is struggling to control. This month, their campaign paid off. Three Chinese companies committed 250 million doses of vaccines to the archipelago of 270 million people. A letter of intent was signed with a UK-based company for another 100 million. Absent from these pledges: the United States. Not only was it not promising any vaccine, but months earlier the United States shocked Indonesian officials by asking to land and refuel its spy planes in the territory, four senior Indonesian officials told Reuters. This would reverse a decades-long policy of strategic neutrality in the country. With the U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo due to visit Jakarta on Oct. 29, Washington's campaign to buttress its influence in the region - part of its escalating global rivalry with China - has been misfiring, say government officials and analysts. On the other hand, China - Indonesia and the region's biggest investor and trading partner - has won ground with vaccines and trade. America's strategic interests converge with those of many others in the region; Washington opposes Beijing's island-building and militarisation of the South China Sea. Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei dispute China's territorial claim to over 90% of the waterway. Indonesia does not have a formal claim to the waters, but it, too, opposes China's claim. China is less popular among Indonesians than the United States, according to polling in 2018 by the Pew Research Center, a think-tank in Washington. This is an edge that the United States under President Donald Trump has blunted, according to interviews with more than a dozen government officials, former diplomats and analysts. Meanwhile China is managing to parlay its economic heft and early recovery from coronavirus restrictions to strategic advantage, they said. "The U.S uses sanctions and muscle too much," said one Indonesian government source. "China is smart. It always uses the soft power approach, the economic approach, the development approach." Pompeo said ahead of his visit that there are issues where the United States has already improved the relationship between the countries, "but there's more that we can do." U.S. assistant secretary of State David Stillwell said separately the U.S. was working to build a "stronger economic partnership" with Indonesia and the United States had donated 1,000 ventilators to the country, part of a $12.5 million coronavirus aid package. SPY PLANES A former Dutch colony with hundreds of ethnic groups scattered over more than 17,000 islands, Indonesia is a founder member of the non-aligned movement, an alliance of developing countries which agreed after World War Two to avoid any defence tie-ups that serve the interests of the big powers. Since emerging from authoritarian rule 22 years ago, it has never allowed foreign militaries to stage operations on its soil, although it does conduct military exercises with other nations. With this in mind, Indonesian officials said it was a surprise when the United States made multiple high-level approaches in late July and early August to Indonesia's defence and foreign ministers to grant landing and refueling rights to its P-8 Poseidon surveillance aircraft. These play a central role in monitoring China's military activity in Southeast Asia. The proposal - first reported by Reuters - was swiftly rejected after it was reviewed by Indonesia's President Joko Widodo, commonly known as "Jokowi," the officials said. Pompeo declined to comment on the rebuff. The U.S. Defence department declined to comment, as did spokespeople for Indonesia's government. Singapore, the Philippines and Malaysia have allowed P-8s to fly in and out of their territory; Washington's request was more political than operational, said Euan Graham, an Asia-Pacific security analyst attached to the Shangri-la Dialogue, an annual meeting of regional security chiefs. The P-8 bid was part of a region-wide U.S. diplomatic blitz that began in mid-July with three days of speeches by Pompeo and other senior U.S. officials denouncing China's conduct in the South China Sea. As well as declaring China's territorial claims unlawful, the United States accused Beijing of "gangster tactics," saying Beijing denies Southeast Asian states the opportunity to develop the sea's resources. Washington has also announced sanctions on Chinese firms and individuals that help China build military installations on islands, atolls and shoals in the waters. China bases its claim in the South China Sea on what it calls "historic rights." Repeated incursions into Indonesia's waters by Chinese coast guard and fishing vessels are an emotive issue in Indonesia, where there is a strong nationalist streak. The presence of about 36,000 [http://www.wordreference.com/definition/Chinese%20workers Chinese workers] in Indonesia - one-third of all foreign workers according to government data - has also riled many Indonesians. In the past, the government has blown up Chinese and other foreign fishing vessels. Senior officials say Indonesia has told China bluntly of its concerns of its aggression in the South China Sea this year. In July, Indonesia held military exercises in the portion of the waterway its claims as its exclusive economic zone. But Indonesian officials said Washington's response to China has been unnecessarily combative. Adding to their anxiety, they said, was a growing fear that military conflict was brewing after the U.S. and China held major military exercises in the South China Sea within sight of each other near the contested Paracel Islands on July 4. Foreign minister Retno responded to the rising superpower tensions in the region by contacting her counterparts in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) forum via their WhatsApp group. It was, said Retno, a "very fluid and intensive communication" that quickly led to a joint statement on Aug. 8 decrying the "detrimental ramifications" of "changing geo-political dynamics in the region." VACCINE DIPLOMACY President Jokowi, a former furniture manufacturer and exporter, has a plan to transform Indonesia's economy and set a course for the country to become one of the world's top five economies by 2045. That vision took a body-blow from the coronavirus pandemic. With fewer than 400,000 infections and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/blog/kinh-nghiem-kham-pha-shangri-la-vung-dat-cua-tinh-yeu.html tour shangrila] 14,000 deaths, Indonesia's official coronavirus burden is much lighter than many other big countries. However, epidemiologists and public health experts say very low rates of testing and contact-tracing mean the official figures significantly underestimate the spread and the government can't suppress the virus. An estimated 10 million Indonesians have fallen back into poverty and Indonesia's economic outlook has been downgraded repeatedly by the government and international agencies. Jokowi has said the government's response to the pandemic and prospects for economic recovery are good compared to other countries. Early access to a [http://photobucket.com/images/vaccine vaccine] is Indonesia's only shot at controlling the pandemic, said Greg Poling, a Southeast Asia analyst from the Washington D.C.-based Center for Strategic and International Studies. "It's the silver bullet," he told Reuters in an interview. "They have to get the vaccine as fast as possible." Jokowi's close confidant and Indonesia's coordinating minister for maritime affairs and investment, Luhut Pandjaitan, gave the president cause for hope when he returned in October from China's Yunnan province with promised supplies of vaccines, which are in phase three trials, as well as a pledge to help Indonesia manufacture and export one of the vaccines to other countries. "It is very easy dealing with the Chinese and they actually executed almost all of their promises and commitments," said a senior adviser who travelled to Yunnan with Pandjaitan. The U.S., grappling with one of the world's most severe COVID-19 outbreaks, has hoarded its vaccines, withdrawn from the World Health Organization and, unlike China, refused to join a WHO-sponsored plan to pool vaccines and distribute them to countries based on need. "They are completely ceding the field to China," said Aaron Connelly, an analyst with Singapore's International Institute for Strategic Studies. On his trip to Yunnan, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/blog/kinh-nghiem-kham-pha-shangri-la-vung-dat-cua-tinh-yeu.html tour Lệ Giang] Pandjaitan also secured almost $20 billion in funding from Chinese companies for a pet project of the president: a plan to build a lithium battery factory and nickel processing industry, the adviser said. Next month, senior government officials say Indonesia is expected to sign the world's biggest trade pact - the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership - that involves ASEAN states and China, but not the U.S. Meanwhile, the U.S. has been reviewing Indonesia's preferential trade status, to the alarm of Jakarta. "NOT ONLY CHINA" Indonesian officials and analysts say the Trump administration has made several unforced diplomatic errors in Southeast Asia. These started in 2018 when Trump did not attend the U.S.-ASEAN summit. In 2019, he sent his national security adviser, a relatively junior government member, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/blog/kinh-nghiem-kham-pha-shangri-la-vung-dat-cua-tinh-yeu.html kynghidongduong.vn] prompting seven of the region's 10 leaders to boycott the event. Washington has not appointed an ambassador to ASEAN since 2017. Connelly said Pompeo's confrontational rhetoric - he has described the Chinese Communist Party as the "greatest threat" to the U.S. - makes Southeast Asian states less willing to cooperate with the United States. "He makes it about the U.S. versus China, rather than what China is doing to Southeast Asia," he said. Dino Patti Djalal, an Indonesian ambassador to the United States from 2010 to 2013, said Pompeo's "aggressively anti-China rhetoric" was, in part, targeting a domestic political audience as the Trump administration tries to deflect criticism of its handling of the coronavirus onto China. Trump's push to cast China as the villain because the virus originated there had not resonated with Southeast Asian governments, he said, while China's vaccine diplomacy and its early economic recovery will serve Beijing well strategically. "China is smartly and strategically using the COVID crisis to advance their relationships (in the region)," he said. "They are striking that theme they have always been pushing: When there are difficulties, it is China, not the U.S., that you can rely on." Indonesia's foreign minister Retno Marsudi says Indonesia wants to engage with as many countries as possible when it comes to combating the coronavirus and developing its economy, including the U.S. This, she told Reuters, was the essence of Indonesia's "independent and active" foreign policy. "It's not only China," she said. (Edited by Sara Ledwith)
