The lockdown of Wuhan in 2020 was the first of its kind in the COVID-19 global pandemic. Keenly aware of the unprecedented nature of this event, many residents in Wuhan took it upon themselves to document its history by recording their personal experiences and sharing them on social media. These acts of citizenship inspired the writing of The Wuhan Lockdown, a book that recounts the extraordinary stories of ordinary people in the first moments of the COVID pandemic. In this conversation, two sociologists discuss the themes of the book and its narrative strategies and explore the meanings of the history and memories of a global crisis that would define the age.

Honolulu’s Chinatown as been the major focal point of commerce from the early days of Honolulu and has been in a constant state of change and metamorphosis, sometimes gradual, sometimes drastic. It represents a mixed plate of cultures, and closely reflects the many waves of human immigration to Hawaii. In what is expected to be an extremely compelling and fascinating webinar, it will take a look at the past, present and future of Honolulu’s Chinatown, all through the lens of the Tsung Tsin Association clubhouse building, which celebrates it’s 107-year birthday in 2023. A Question & Answer period will follow the presentation.
Gary R. Coover was previously trained as a licensed civil engineer and has always had an interest in building design and the people that had a hand in creating it. In his recently published book, Honolulu Chinatown: 200 Years of Red Lanterns & Red Lights, he has done some extensive historical research into hundreds of historical buildings in Honolulu’s Chinatown from the turn of the 19th Century to the present day.

Over the past four decades, China has been in a subordinated position within the International Monetary System (IMS) dominated by the US Dollar. Although attempts have been made to internationalize the Chinese currency, the renminbi or yuan, these efforts have made limited headway due to China’s close management of its capital account. The extensive and extraordinary financial sanctions levied against Russia by the West in early 2022, however, are likely to change the Chinese calculus regarding yuan internationalization.
At the center of recent initiatives by the People’s Bank of China (PBoC) stands the launch of a central bank digital currency (CBDC), the digital yuan or e-CNY. This fintech innovation could potentially revolutionize monetary relations in China, since the e-CNY offers digital traceability, delivering unprecedented insight into the economy and potentially generating new tools for monetary management, including currency internationalization. While the future of the digital yuan is still murky, it forms part of a long-term evolution of China’s financial system that combines aspects of market-based finance with efforts to enhance state capacity, charting a new course beyond liberal convergence to establish novel tools of financial statecraft.

No one is safe in United States: guns, drugs, homeless, no face recognition cameras and worst if you are Asians. Sure you can laugh at it until you or your family becomes victims like this girl in SF.
At the opening of the general debate of the UN General Assembly, Secretary-General Guterres said bluntly: In today’s world, there is no cooperation, no dialogue, and no collective solution to problems… Why did he say this? Why is the opening of the United Nations General Assembly, Biden nowhere to be found? Let the White House righteousness tell you, and at the same time, why does Trump laugh at Biden’s treatment in the UK? 联合国大会一般性辩论开幕，秘书长古特雷斯直言：现今世界，没合作，没对话，还不集体解决问题… 他何出此言？为何联大都开幕了，还不见拜登身影？让白宫義见告诉你，同时加码，特朗普为何嘲笑拜登在英国的待遇？
The current conflict is one of those agonizing relics of post imperial colonialism, which continues to haunt Asia, Africa and the Middle East. In this particular case it is Imperial Japan, which in 1895 after the First Sino-Japanese War, annexed the DIAOYU ISLANDS.
