Researchers Document First Case of Virus Reinfection
“An apparently young and healthy patient had a second case of Covid-19 infection which was diagnosed 4.5 months after the first episode,” University of Hong Kong researchers said Monday in a statement. The report is of concern because it suggests that immunity to the coronavirus may last only a few months in some people. And it has implications for vaccines being developed for the virus.
All the Republicans Who Have Decided Not to Support Trump
As November draws nearer, a few current and former Republican officials have begun to break ranks with the rest of their party, saying in public and private conversations that they will not support President Trump in his re-election. Some have even said that they will be voting for his Democratic opponent, Joseph R. Biden Jr. Some of them are former President George W. Bush; Senator Mitt Romney of Utah; John Bolton, the former national security adviser; and Colin Powell, the former secretary of state.
Belarus Protests Test Limits of Lukashenko's Brutal, One-Man Rule
Aleksandr Lukashenko, the embattled ruler of Belarus and the most enduring leader in the former Soviet Union, heads a regime that is less a one-party state than a one-person state. In 26 years as president, he has turned Belarus into a strategically important and reliably authoritarian buffer between Russia and NATO-member democracies like Poland.
On Mideast Trip, Pompeo Mixes Diplomacy With Partisan Politics
JERUSALEM — As Secretary of State Mike Pompeo touched down in Israel on Monday at the start of a Middle East tour billed as an effort to further regional peace and security, the visit was already stirring controversy. Mr. Pompeo made it known that he would be using Jerusalem as the backdrop for an address to the Republican National Convention, breaking a longstanding taboo against mixing a diplomatic mission with partisan politics.

Donald Trump to be formally nominated for election as Republican convention gets underway

Major investment firm dumps Exxon, Chevron and Rio Tinto stock
Storebrand, a Norwegian asset manager, divested from miner Rio Tinto as well as US oil giants ExxonMobil and Chevron as part of a new climate policy targeting companies that use their political clout to block green policies.
The investor is one of many major financial institutions divesting from polluting industries, but is understood to be the first to dump shares in companies which use their influence to slow the pace of climate action.
Jan Erik Saugestad, the chief executive of Storebrand, said corporate lobbying activity designed to undermine solutions to “the greatest risks facing humanity” is “simply unacceptable”.

China, Russia to form closer partnership on 5G in defiance of US
Russia and China are strengthening strategic high tech partnership on 5G as the US initiated a tech cold war against China and constantly accused Russia of cyberattacks.
Some observers also noted that Russia and China have been engaged in a “long-term war” with Western countries in the fields of high technology and telecommunication

China's PLA strengthens strategic cooperation with Russian military at Army Games
Chinese People's Liberation Army soldiers are competing in this year's International Army Games in Moscow, viewed as the military Olympics, which demonstrates China and Russia's deepening strategic partnership in the military, especially amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
More than 5,000 participants from 156 teams from more than 30 countries and regions will compete in this year's games.

Positive signal for trade talks with US
China has approved plans by US-based asset manager BlackRock Inc, together with Singapore's Temasek Holdings and China Construction Bank Corp (CCB), to establish an asset management joint venture in China, a move industry observers said sends a positive signal ahead of a much-anticipated call between China and the US over the phase one trade agreement in the coming days.
But the approval represents one more step by China in opening up the financial sector to international firms, analysts said
China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) said Thursday that Chinese and US officials will hold trade talks in the "coming days." The MOFCOM did not provide further details, such as the topics and the specific time.

China's digital currency implemented in small retail transactions: reports
China's central bank said an experimental test of the sovereign digital currency is now only focused on small retail transactions and has not expanded to scenarios that require large volume transactions.
The bank's comment comes after rumors circulated over the weekend claiming that a housing transaction in Shenzhen, South China's Guangdong Province, supported the use of China's Digital Currency Electronic Payment (DCEP).
China has been speeding up its research and development of DECP in recent years in a bid to win the global race to launch one, and against the backdrop of strained relations with the US.
Currently, pilot tests of DCEP are ongoing in Shenzhen; Suzhou in East China's Jiangsu Province; Chengdu, the capital of Southwest China's Sichuan Province; and the Xiongan New Area in Hebei Province.

DPP authorities must act to reduce risks of war: Global Times editorial
The situation in the Taiwan Straits and the South China Sea is getting increasingly tense. According to data from overseas media outlets, US military planes have flied to the South China Sea 67 times in a month. The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) started military exercises in the Yellow Sea on Saturday, following its just-concluded military drills in the Taiwan Straits. The PLA will also conduct military exercises in the South China Sea and the Bohai Sea on Monday. There have been increasing discussions on the risk of military conflicts
The situation in the Taiwan Straits is the most delicate. In the South China Sea, the US is conducting unilateral military provocation, but China and other regional claimants have a clear attitude about the need to prevent military frictions. But in the Taiwan Straits, Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities are making radical and active moves. Political and military issues are intertwined in the Straits, stimulating each other.

Nuclear deterrence needed to prevent cyberattacks from paralyzing China's nuclear response
The US' maximum pressure campaign against China now has extended to cyberspace
Such concerns do not come from nowhere. In 2019 alone, there were three major cyberattacks related to the US. In March 2019, Venezuela's national power grid collapsed. The country's president denounced the attack as a well planned cyberattack by the US. This indicates that cyberwarfare has become a new mode of undeclared warfare - an invisible invasion of sorts.
In June 2019, Trump announced retaliation against Iran with a cyberattack too. This showed that cyberwarfare has moved from the backstage to the front lines, from covert warfare to a declaration of war, and from auxiliary fighting to mainstream combat.
On November 4, 2019, the US invited a number of countries to hold the first ever joint cyberattack and defense exercise with the island of Taiwan. It undertook cyberattack scenarios as a new approach to go beyond beach landings and targeting financial systems. It focused on persistent and chaotic destructive attacks on key infrastructure and economic systems. This indicates that the US has crossed the bottom line of the one-China principle in cyberspace.
From late June to mid-July this year, some "mysterious explosions" occurred in Iran's strategic facilities causing more than 100 casualties at power plants, nuclear facilities, chemical plants and ammunition depots. Cyber sabotage from Israel and the US were believed to be involved.
Cyberspace has become the fifth dimensional battlefield besides land, sea, sky and space. Although ordinary users form the frontline of defense in cyberspace, cyberwarfare cannot mainly rely on "militia." The sustainable development of a "regular cyber army" has become an important option for the construction of a country powerful in cyberspace.
cyber deterrence needs to be showcased. China not only needs to be capable of launching counterattacks in cyberspace, but also must consider special situations in which other countries' cyberattacks might affect our ability of a nuclear counterattack. We must keep nuclear deterrence to the cyberattacks that aim to paralyze our network.
Russia's latest updated nuclear deterrence strategy lists four conditions that would trigger its implementation of nuclear strikes. In one situation, if the attack undermines its nuclear force response actions, Russia would contemplate using nuclear weapons. Cyberattacks may lead to such situation, therefore Russia's nuclear deterrence takes cyberattacks into consideration

Syrie : coupure d’électricité après l’attaque présumée d’un gazoduc
Selon le ministre de l’électricité, l’explosion d’un gazoduc dans les environs de Damas, dimanche soir, a « entraîné une coupure d’électricité dans toute la Syrie », selon l’agence de presse officielle SANA.
Cet incident est le dernier d’une série d’attaques présumées menées contre les infrastructures publiques d’énergie. Le gouvernement syrien avait affirmé en janvier que des plongeurs avaient placé des explosifs sur des pipe-lines en mer de la raffinerie de Banias, mais les dégâts provoqués n’avaient pas entraîné l’arrêt des opérations.
Présidentielle américaine : la convention d’investiture consacre la « trumpisation » du Parti républicain
Le Grand Old Party est devenu une machine placée au service exclusif du président, où la loyauté à l’égard de ce dernier compte plus que les vieux principes comme la discipline budgétaire ou le libre-échange
Gilles Paris
La tâche est ardue. Le jugement porté par les Américains sur sa gestion du virus est sévère. En lançant une offensive contre le vote par correspondance et la poste américaine, le président s’est par ailleurs attaqué à une institution qui jouit de l’image la plus favorable (91 %) parmi les agences fédérales, selon le baromètre du Pew Research Center, publié en avril.
Les députés européens entendent pallier les manques du plan de relance
Décidé par les Vingt-Sept, le plan de relance de 750 milliards d’euros et le budget européen feront, fin août, l’objet de négociations avec le Parlement. Les griefs des députés sont nombreux. Mais leur marge de manœuvre est faible.
Cédric Vallet
Le périmètre d’action du Parlement est l’objet de luttes de pouvoir. D’un côté, l’accord du 21 juillet stipule que l’évaluation des plans nationaux de relance – permettant de débloquer les fonds – sera le fait exclusif de la Commission et du Conseil. Les eurodéputés devraient se contenter d’une simple « information », même s’ils auront la possibilité de décider, avec le Conseil, des critères d’allocation des fonds.

Mexico’s Anti-Graft President Hit Where It Hurts Him Most
A week ago, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador was on a roll with his anti-corruption campaign, boosted by a video of rivals counting piles of cash and leaked testimony that could bring down more opponents. Now, Lopez Obrador finds himself in a fight to regain his own integrity as a crusader against graft.
Covid Victims Are Forced Into Filthy Warehouses in Venezuela
Venezuela, which registered few cases in the first months of the pandemic, is now facing a spike and is embracing China’s approach of forced isolation combined with other top-down measures. But with a hollowed-out health system, far too few tests and a dysfunctional public sector, patients are terrified. They say they’re crammed for weeks into filthy warehouses with little to eat, spotty water supply and increased risk of infection. This, along with the detention of dissident doctors and public shaming of violators, has led to a sense of impending disaster.

Nintendo Adds Another $3 Billion as Robinhood Traders Press Play
Nintendo has been one the strongest-performing blue-chip stocks in Japan this year, as the pandemic, together with the release of its smash-hit Animal Crossing: New Horizons game, helped boost the already high popularity of its Switch console. Shares are up more than 70% from their March low, and have hardly looked back since passing the 50,000 yen barrier in June, with earnings earlier this month blowing past all estimates and Nintendo software continuing to dominate sales rankings in Japan.

Una convención dominada por Trump elude abordar el debate sobre el futuro del partido
El cónclave republicano que arranca este lunes, el último antes del relevo del presidente, mostrará su profunda huella en la formación a pesar del radical cambio de guion impuesto por el coronavirus
lo que se abre este lunes con la Convención Republicana es una batalla por el alma del partido. Un partido que se entregó a los brazos de un presidente rebelde y que ahora necesita preparar la vida después de él. Aunque ganase en noviembre, el próximo sería su último mandato. Y este cónclave marca el inicio de la batalla por el futuro. Pero el rodillo de Donald Trump se dispone a aplastar cualquier arista en el discurso unipersonal dominante. Confirmando que, como ha revelado el ciclo de primarias, su huella en el partido será difícil de borrar.

El lobby ultraliberal detrás de las marchas anticuarentena
Están entre nosotros hace años pero pasan inadvertidos para el imaginario colectivo. Su fortaleza se basa en cierta discreción para no parecer lo que en realidad son: grupos de presión. Se resguardan bajo la etiqueta de un think tank (del inglés “tanque de pensamiento”) o en una definición intelectualmente más refinada: usina de ideas. Atlas Network es entre todas ellas la red más omnipresente de las que influyen en América Latina. Recibe un financiamiento generoso e interactúa con cientos de organizaciones satélites. En estos días de marchas anticuarentena por el mundo, de Madrid a Buenos Aires y de Estados Unidos a Brasil estimuladas por fuerzas opositoras de derecha o presidentes en el ejercicio del poder como Trump y Bolsonaro, la red creada por el británico Antony Fisher en 1981 bajo el nombre de Atlas Economic Research Foundation, volvió a hacerse visible. El mentor de este espacio era admirador de las ideas del economista Friedrich Hayek.
