Reaction to the Advance of American Protectionism

The new Chinese diplomatic offensive is a direct response to signals that the United States is set to increase tariffs on Chinese products. China seeks to prevent trading partners from adopting similar measures and aims to consolidate its image as a defender of the international economic order.

In addition to bilateral contacts, Wang Yi indicated that China is willing to expand dialogue with the European Union, with the aim of strengthening economic and institutional cooperation between the parties.

“China is open to deepening exchanges with Europe and jointly preserving an open and resilient global economy,” stated the chancellor.

Keep trade flows with Europe operational
Prevent European countries from adopting barriers similar to those of the U.S.
Reinforce China’s position as a power engaged in multilateralism

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.
