“Recently, some US politicians have repeatedly made rumors about Huawei but canno
t provide any evidence that other countries have requested,” Lu told a daily news conference.
He noted that the US public is having more and more doubts over the market turbulen
ce and undermined industrial cooperation caused by the trade war and technology war initiated by the US.
“So some US politicians have continually created rumors, tr

Ideological differences do not necessarily impede tra

The resident of Chengdu, Sichuan province, is a popular vlogge
and his reviews of digital appliances have won him more than 124,000 fans on social media.
He had never eaten hotpot alone before. However, he happened to be in
Beijing on business and when he heard the restaurant offered stuffed toys as co
mpanions for solo diners he decided to visit and produce a vlog so his fans would know how it felt.
Knowing that a large number of unattached people often
spend festivals alone, Pu hoped his vlog would help them enjoy their solitude.
Even though he was the only solo diner in the restaurant, Pu said he didn’t feel at all awk
ward eating with a toy companion. The vlog showed him eating casually, occasionally scrolling through his phone, an
d having a video chat with his family. The restaurant was full of diners, but no one gave him a second glance.
“Overall, it was very enjoyable; the only thing was that I can’t eat too much so I only ordered a small amount of food,” he said.

A public letter titled “We, the Huawei people” from telecom giant Huawei detailing its employee
s’ personal stories of solidarity and resilience amid restrictions from the United States, went viral on Chinese social media on Friday.
The letter was published by Xinsheng Shequ, Huawei’s official employee community platform, on i

Chinese netizens have flooded the comment sections of Huawei’s social media platf

The letter is a collection of short stories submitted by anonymous
Huawei employees depicting how their lives have subtly changed after the US last week put H
uawei and its affiliates on an “Entity List”, which restricts the sale or transfer of US technologies to the company.

Reportedly, the United States administration is considering extending its attacks on
Chinese companies by blacklisting China’s largest surveillance equipment manufacturer Hikvision.
If so, Hikvision — which has about 20 percent of the global market share and has been the
leading player in the industry for seven consecutive years — will become the fourth Chinese company Wa
shington has targeted after the telecommunications companies ZTE and Huawei, and drone maker DJI.
Unlike the previous three companies, which the US administrat

more stressed and anxious, so they want to be consoled. Food is a very good way to console oneself
and feel pleasure. When you are in a bad mood, you can quickly get a satisfying feeling by eating,” she said.
“It is on this basis that eating alone can relax one’s mind. When you eat, you can focus on the
eating process itself and you don’t have to think about other things. This is the best kind of rest.”
She said she has noticed that more young people are willing to step into the kitchen and
start cooking for themselves, despite the emergence of a wider range of eating options outside.
“The solo dining concept is not about ‘I’m single and I eat alone’, but more about people beginning
to pay attention to how to eat well, healthily and safely. This is not a trend about being single or eating al
one, but of paying attention to one’s diet and starting to pursue an individualistic lifestyle,” she said.

standing up in panic, Zhou attacked him again, piercing Xie’s neck several times. Xie then fell down to
the ground but Zhou didn’t stop. He rushed to Xie, pressed down on his body, and stabbed him
again and again until Xie died. Zhou then rose, holding his arms and assuming a triumphant gesture.
Zhou was later arrested and confessed that he had bought the dagger online in advance.
