Trump bans Americans from investing in Chinese firms he claims have ties to the military - CNN
Does this mean that the trade war ended but the financial war is coming?
And is this realistic? As some companies are even listed in the US exchange, like China Telecom and China Mobile, which are dominant state monopoly in China btw.

Suddenly, hope - The promise of the new covid-19 vaccine is immense | Leaders | The Economist
Let's hope this time it'll work. We human beings have long time suffering, losing hope to battles, and false hope for dictatorships. But we are always progressing.

Why you don’t like the sound of your own voice | Rébecca Kleinberger
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3vSYbT1Aco&ab_channel=TED
Learned a lot from this video. You heard all kinds of voice from several level of masks, and your inward voice through your bones, not air. But magically there is the inner voice, maybe you can't really hear your own voice because your brain filters it. And you can hear your silence thought when you are reading.

Democrats keep winning the popular vote. That worries them.
US politics is really fun. Sometimes it's spectacular, sometimes it's nasty. Sometimes it's full of hope, sometimes it's full of anxiety. This year I learnt something new: win the popular votes, but lose the electoral. It's interesting.

Jeffrey Paul: Your Computer Isn't Yours
This shit blocks every apps failed to open? Bad practice, apple! Do you know that the Internet has divided into two parts, the Internet and the Chinese intranet? So confident that you think Chinese ISPs won't mess the route up?
Back to privacy issue, well I dont have any problem about that, because I don't have privacy at all. Welcome to China.
Since October of 2012, Apple is a partner in the US military intelligence community’s PRISM spying program, which grants the US federal police and military unfettered access to this data without a warrant, any time they ask for it. In the first half of 2019 they did this over 18,000 times, and another 17,500+ times in the second half of 2019.
This is very interesting. Be sure, US citizens, that this kind of information stays in the US, not grabbed by any country other than US military. Otherwise you will be a surveillance state, too.
