CCTV News:On August 7th, the Central Radio and Television General Station’s "International Sharp Review" broadcast titled "The investigation of" TongRumen "is coming to an end. How much trouble will it be? The article was reprinted by many overseas media.

　　From 7 to 9 August, French LCF Radio facebook account, German-Chinese Report website, Spanish Radio International website, Italian Radio We website (facebook, twitter), Portugal Lisbon Rainbow FM website (facebook), Portugal Global Iberian client, Brazil Sao Paulo World Radio and Television website (facebook), Many overseas media, such as facebook, Turkish Economic Observation Network, Jordan Global Radio facebook account, Chinese PT portal, Chinese Headline APP, Portuguese New Newspaper APP(facebook, twitter), European Union Chinese website, Europe-China United Times website, Africa Times website, West Africa online website, Japanese Chinese business website, and Greek China website, have forwarded them one after another. From August 8 to 10, this article was also published and forwarded by Hong Kong Ta Kung Pao, wenhui network and Hong Kong Business Daily. The main reports are as follows:

　　US President Trump, who ruled the country by Twitter, once again pushed himself to the forefront with Twitter on the 5th, denouncing the report of "fake news" on his beloved eldest son Donald Trump Jr as "a complete fabrication", and revealed that in 2016, Trump Jr. met a Russian female lawyer at Trump Tower in new york, with the aim of obtaining information from his political opponents, which was "completely legal and a consistent practice in politics".

　　As early as more than a year ago, when The New York Times first disclosed the meeting, Trump Jr. made it clear that they were discussing a project on the adoption of Russian children that the US government had stopped. He also went to the closed-door hearing of Congress to ensure that Trump himself did not know about the meeting, and that the presidential campaign had nothing to do with Russia. However, a few months later, the media revealed that this statement was drafted by President Trump himself.

　　Now, 13 months after Trump Jr.’ s statement, President Trump actually admitted on Twitter that the meeting was to get the black materials of his opponent from Russian lawyers. People who are used to Trump’s reneging performance can’t help but be shocked when they see such a reversal! Ian Bremmer, chairman of Eurasia Group, the world’s largest political risk consulting company, concluded that either President Trump lied or the liar was Trump Jr.

　　The mainstream media in the United States and Europe have pointed out that the meeting two years ago happened to be an important link involved in the investigation of "TongRumen" conducted by Mueller, the special prosecutor of the US Department of Justice. With the approaching mid-term elections in the United States, the investigation of "TongRumen", which has been going on for more than a year, is drawing to a close. On the 5th, mainstream media in the United States, including Washington post, CNN and Associated Press, reported that the investigation of "TongRumen" is likely to harm people around President Trump, especially Trump Jr., the eldest son who planned and participated in the meeting.

　　Legal experts believe that Trump Jr.’ s contact with foreigners in order to obtain black materials from political opponents violates the relevant provisions of the US election law and may even be suspected of "conspiracy against the United States". At the beginning of this year, when Bannon, Trump’s strategist and former chief strategist of the White House, broke with Trump, he once said that the meeting was a treason. Nowadays, everyone has speculated whether such a heavy accusation has entered Muller’s "TongRumen" investigation list.

　　In fact, Mana Ford, another important figure in that meeting and former general manager of Trump’s campaign team, is now in deep jail because of many charges such as "conspiracy against the United States", and the case will be heard next month. At present, Manafort has been accused by the special prosecutor Mueller team for economic problems such as bank fraud and tax evasion, and the case has entered the trial stage. Although Mana Ford refused to plead guilty, Rick Gates, his former business partner and now a federal tainted witness, admitted to the jury on the 6th that he had helped Mana Ford commit crimes such as bank and securities fraud, and described the criminal process in detail. Earlier, Gates and Manafort were charged with money laundering and "conspiracy against the United States". He was dealt with separately because he all pleaded guilty and became a tainted witness.

　　Can Manafort continue to be hard-pressed and wait for Trump to exercise his presidential power in the future to give him Amnesty? Or will you plead guilty and become an important tainted witness of "TongRumen"? This is not only a drama that the media all over the world pay attention to, but also a trial that makes President Trump very worried.

　　Trump tweeted at the beginning of the trial that Mana Ford was wronged, saying that Mana Ford was once the right-hand man of former President Reagan and other Republican leaders, but now he was treated unfairly by the Mueller team, which was worse than that suffered by Alfonse Capone, the number one "public enemies" in the United States. He also questioned the evidence of communication with Russia and demanded that Attorney General sessions immediately terminate the investigation of "communication with Russia". Of course, the White House had to remedy afterwards that the president’s tweet was not giving orders, but expressing his views.

　　Trump’s aversion to the "TongRumen" investigation has a long history. Whenever it comes to the investigation of "TongRumen", he is always labeled as "witch hunting" and "fraud". According to American media statistics, in the first seven months of this year, he sent out 84 such labels.

　　At the same time, Michael Cohen, a former private lawyer who has handled all kinds of bad things and worries for Trump for many years, is now being investigated for being involved in bank and tax fraud activities, especially for possibly violating the relevant regulations of the election law. The US media disclosed that FBI agents had obtained a batch of audio clips in Cohen’s apartment, office and hotel room, among which Cohen secretly recorded a conversation with Trump, showing that they had discussed it with former Playboy magazine girl McDougall before the election, asking her to conceal her ulterior relationship with Trump. According to reports, Cohen also confirmed to the Muller investigation team that Trump met with Russian lawyers and got Trump’s approval in advance. This remark was immediately attacked by Trump’s current lawyer and former mayor of new york, Giuliani, calling Cohen a "pathological liar". Cohen, who used to talk about blocking bullets for Trump, has now turned against him. How much deadly black material is there in the conversation he secretly recorded?

　　As the investigation of "TongRumen" enters the final stage, President Trump, who is on vacation at the New Jersey Golf Course, is faced with a difficult choice: whether to take the initiative to accept the question of special prosecutor Muller or wait for Muller’s summons to answer the question? Will this duplicitous American president, who is good at picking things up, play another trick to divert public attention and cover up his weak life? Or, did Muller offer a fatal blow to Trump when former FBI Director Komi made a move against Hillary?

"I am a veteran, and I must go at this time!" Facing the turbulent flood, Wu Keyu, a cadre of retired military affairs bureau in Luanping County, Chengde City, Hebei Province, who has been in length of military service for 16 years, wiped the mud on his face and said firmly in a hoarse voice.

If the disaster is like an order, the mission will be achieved. The county veterans affairs bureau quickly organized forces to go to the front line. In the village where the road was washed away, the rescue team composed of retired soldiers waded through the water with only one safety rope, and walked back and forth for more than 20 kilometers for 12 hours in a row, transferring 37 trapped people to safety, including 8 elderly people and 5 children. When the last old man was carried back to the resettlement site, Zhao Jianjun, a retired soldier, had already been soaked in muddy water, and his boots were deeply scratched. "Everything should be done. If you have been a soldier, you have to rush ahead." Zhao Jianjun said.

The militia emergency forces organized by the County People’s Armed Forces Department have also become the backbone of the rescue. In the middle of the night of July 28th, 40 backbone militia members formed a material delivery team to carry bread, drinking water and other living materials on foot in the muddy mountain road. "The road ahead has slipped, so follow me around!" Chloe Wang, the captain of the militia, took a flashlight to explore the road ahead, and his trouser legs were cut by branches. After a four-hour trek, they finally sent the second batch of relief supplies to the affected people in Mayingzi Manchu Township. On the same day, another militia rescue team delivered materials to the affected areas in three batches, with a total journey of 45 kilometers, which sent much-needed living security to the temporarily disconnected villages.

In the settlement of Hongqi Town, the backbone militia became "waiters" to help build temporary tents and distribute relief materials, and specially prepared hot water and medicines for the elderly and children.

"Seeing these comrades wearing camouflage uniforms, my heart is practical." Uncle Li, a villager who had just been transferred, said that the militia not only helped him grab important documents from home, but also patiently calmed his emotions.

Up to now, the retired military affairs system cadres and backbone militia in Luanping County have transferred more than 200 people, transported 12 tons of materials and participated in road dredging for 3 kilometers. These figures, once dressed in military uniforms, continued to write loyalty with persistence and dedication in the face of public opinion, becoming the most reliable "guardians" in the hearts of the masses.

Freud’s wailing that "I can’t breathe" is intertwined with the historical echo of Martin Luther King’s "I have a dream", which makes American minorities feel deeply hurt. However, the problems in the United States are not as simple as racial discrimination and police brutality. The pandemic should have been an opportunity to put aside differences and show unity, but it further deepened political polarization.

"To be or not to be" is not only the ultimate question in literary classics, but also a realistic choice faced by many Americans. It is too difficult to fight the epidemic and survive, so we have to protest against the decompression. George Freud, an African-American man, was killed by police violence, just like a spark, which ignited the "dry wood" of anger in the United States. The protests have not subsided, and it is far from a day’s work to eliminate social problems such as systematic racial discrimination.

It is no accident that Freud’s incident triggered the great protest in the United States. Before his death, his plaintive cry of "I can’t breathe" was intertwined with the historical echo of Martin Luther King’s "I have a dream", which made American minorities feel deeply hurt. However, protests have quickly turned into beating, smashing, looting and burning in many cities, which reminds the world that the problems in the United States are not as simple as racial discrimination and police brutality.

People have become accustomed to some strange phenomena in the United States.

The epidemic is prevalent, but I dare not go to see a doctor. Only one test in Covid-19 costs thousands of dollars, and intensive care costs as high as tens of thousands of dollars. Many Americans without medical insurance usually delay seeing a doctor after they get sick, "not because they don’t want to recover, but because they have no money at all".

The great recession caused a sharp increase in unemployment. From March 15 to May 23, in just over two months, the number of people applying for unemployment benefits for the first time in the United States totaled 40.8 million, and wage earners first experienced the pain of economic recession caused by the epidemic.

Forbes News reported on May 7 that the survey showed that by the end of April, more than one-fifth of American families were facing a food crisis; Among American families with children under the age of 12, the proportion facing food crisis is as high as two fifths.

During the demonstration, thousands of protesters crowded the streets. The American riot police and even the National Guard went into battle with all their weapons. Tear gas, flash bombs, pepper spray and rubber bullets were flying all over the sky … Social opposition became increasingly serious. Even many white policemen joined the demonstration, but there were still no specific ways to reform police law enforcement. Some states just announced in a hurry that police were prohibited from using "lock throat".

Moreover, under the background of the election year in the United States, controversial topics such as whether to remove Confederate memorials and signs that maintained slavery during the Civil War have heated up again, which has become "ammunition" for some American politicians to start election campaigns, highlighting the polarization between parties and public opinion. Some politicians said that the names of military facilities such as US military bases named after Confederate generals who maintained slavery during the Civil War should not be changed, because "these memorable and influential bases have become part of the great American tradition". Some politicians immediately countered and called for the removal of all the statues of Confederate figures in the Capitol, calling them "a tribute to hatred, not to tradition."

The parade also swam, and the demonstration also showed how much it seems that "American democracy" pays attention to the people’s right to express. In fact, after the excitement, what it used to be is still what it is now. Some American politicians are selfish, short-sighted, willful, inefficient and irresponsible, and are still brewing more tragedies. Francis Fukuyama, a famous American political scholar, wrote that the pandemic should have been an opportunity to put aside differences and show unity, but it further deepened political polarization. Politicians regard the epidemic as an opportunity to seize power and party interests, at the expense of countless ordinary American lives. Although some of the scholar’s predictions are unreliable, this comment is still to the point.
