China: Fully supports the Tokyo Olympics It is the turn of the Japanese side to demonstrate basic faith
On the 9th, some Japanese media issued a "three-in-a-row question" about the Beijing Winter Olympics at a regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. First, the Chinese Embassy in Canada issued a statement saying that it had lodged solemn representations with the Canadian side. Will China make representations to Britain? Second, Japan did not explicitly express its "diplomatic boycott" of the Beijing Winter Olympics, but said it would not send cabinet-level figures to participate. Third, can you describe the specific countermeasures that will be taken against the United States? And will China take countermeasures against other countries such as the UK, Canada and Australia?
Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin responded that regarding the first question you mentioned, our Embassy in the UK has issued a relevant press release, which you can consult.
On your second question, I would like to point out that the Beijing Winter Olympics is a stage for athletes from all over the world, and any attempt to politicize sports under the pretext of so-called "human rights and freedoms" runs counter to the spirit of the Olympic Charter, and China firmly opposes it. China and Japan have reached an important consensus on mutual support for each other to host the Olympic Games, and China has fully supported Japan in hosting the Tokyo Olympic Games.
On the third question you mentioned, Wang Wenbin said that what I want to tell you is that the United States, Australia, Britain and Canada use the Olympic platform to carry out political manipulation, which is unpopular, self-isolating, and will definitely pay a price for its wrong behavior.

German media: Scholz sent a message to the Chinese side that it will continue Merkel's pragmatic policy toward China
Scholz was elected as the new German Chancellor in the plenary session of the German Bundestag (the lower house of parliament) on the 8th, and was sworn in on the same day. German media quoted The German "Economic Weekly" on the same day as reporting that before the German Bundestag voted, Scholz had sent a message to the Chinese side that it would continue the pragmatic policy of her predecessor Merkel in China.
An EU official told The German newspaper Escherichia: "European Council President Michel has sent a message to the Chinese side that he wants to maintain Merkel's China policy." "The berlin diplomatic community confirmed the news. During a conference call in October, Scholz expressed support for the China-EU investment pact and said he would contain China's critical Greens and Liberal Democratic Party.
In addition, a government spokesman confirmed to Economic Week that scholz and Merkel had discussed China after the federal parliamentary elections. According to an insider, Merkel is concerned about future China policy.
The trend of the new German government's China policy is a major attraction. Berlin China scholar Biklemann told the Global Times reporter on the 8th that the alliance agreement of the new government mentioned China 12 times, showing the importance it attaches to China. The key words of China policy mentioned in the agreement were also mentioned during the Merkel era. Overall, the new government's China policy will be a continuation of the Merkel era, and the key lies in whether the more pragmatic Scholz is dominant or the new foreign minister Berberk, who advocates a tough line on China. Bickerman believes that the most likely balance between the two, the new government may be more critical of China in the future, but cooperation is still the mainstream.

However, all people in contact with the foreign minister were notified on the government's mobile phones that they would have to undergo self-isolation and nucleic acid testing. She said she didn't carry a government-specific cell phone at the time, and that the text message notifying self-isolation was sent to that phone.
Marin said, "I should have had better judgment, and in retrospect I realized I should have checked the information again." She also revealed that she had a nucleic acid test and the result was negative.

Russian Presidential Spokesperson: Rebuilding the Soviet Union is no longer possible
On December 7, local time, the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee held a meeting, and U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and others declared during the meeting that they were worried that Putin and the Russian government might try to rebuild the Soviet Union.
"He [referring to Putin] expressed very clearly his regret for the collapse of the Soviet Union, his regret that Ukraine and Russia are no longer one country, and his doubts about Ukraine's sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence." At the meeting, Nuland declared that there were concerns that Putin's voice had grown louder in recent years because he saw Ukraine as part of Russia and that Putin was actually seeking to rebuild the Soviet Union.
Russian Presidential Spokesperson Peskov responded to Nuland's relevant remarks when attending a regular press conference in Moscow, Russian capital Moscow on the 8th local time, saying, "Ms. Nuland is very familiar with the situation in Russia and all the nuances of the post-Soviet era (compared with before)." I believe that Ms. Nuland, like ourselves, and other experts, knows very well that the rebuilding of the Soviet Union is no longer possible. ”
Peskov added that all parts of the former Soviet Union are now developing and integrating, with the emergence of the CIS, the Eurasian Economic Union and other forms, such as the union of Belarus and Russia, but all of these are not and cannot be attempted to restore the Soviet Union. Commenting on the current situation, Peskov said that many independent sovereign states have now formed in various parts of the former Soviet Union, and these countries have continued to develop on the basis of mutual respect, trust and non-interference in each other's internal affairs, and have successfully carried out diversified interactions and cooperation.

Sun Zhuo has returned to school Sun Haiyang: Most worried about his hukou illegality
On the 9th, Sun Haiyang and his wife sent Sun Zhuo back to Yanggu in Shandong, where Sun Zhuo will continue to complete his studies. Sun Haiyang told reporters that he drove more than 800 kilometers last night and had sent Sun Zhuo to school. "I don't want to hurt the child, I want to give him time, don't hurt him twice."
Sun Haiyang said that Sun Zhuo is now very guilty and stressed, and has always said to his parents that "I was also responsible for being abducted in the first place." Sun Haiyang didn't want to put pressure on him, they just came here to understand the 14 years and 57 days that Sun Zhuo had grown up here. Seeing the environment in which Sun Zhuo lives, "it seems that there is still a big difference from Shenzhen, and the child still suffers some hardships." But maybe it's because of this that he's so sensible. ”
Sun Haiyang said he did not meet with Sun Zhuo's adoptive parents, "I have nothing to say to them." In response to the adoptive mother's previous claim that the child was adopted after "abandoned by a divorced family", Sun Haiyang said that he did not approve, "A person risks imprisonment to abduct the child and give it to you in vain? This is nonsense! ”
At present, no school in Shenzhen has contacted Sun Haiyang to say that it can accept Sun Zhuo to study in Shenzhen. He hopes that after the child goes to college, he can go to Shenzhen and be with his biological parents. Since Sun Zhuo's current hukou is in Heilongjiang, Sun Haiyang is most worried about the problem of Sun Zhuo's hukou. Sun Haiyang said: "One of the questions we have been asking for so many years is, how did the abducted child's hukou get on? If the hukou is illegal, it may be cancelled and the child's schooling will be affected. ”
