The U.S. team that came to China to participate in the Beijing Winter Olympics included a large number of officials from the U.S. State Department and other government departments, many of whom also held diplomatic or service passports. We hope that the US side will put the Olympic spirit into practice and work with china to create a good atmosphere for athletes from all over the world to participate in the Beijing Winter Olympics.
Zhao Lijian said: Regarding whether your statement that the US side applied for visas for diplomats and officials contradicts the US side's previous claim that it "will not send official or diplomatic representatives to attend the Beijing Winter Olympics", I think you should ask the US side about this issue.

The central media commented that the doctor's live broadcast of gynecological surgery: the platform is not enough to cooperate with the investigation
The doctor involved in the online live broadcast of the gynecological surgery has been arrested, and the matter has aroused widespread concern. Judging from the criticism of netizens on the relevant platforms, before the user uploaded a suspected cracked camera surveillance video in a public place, and then a male doctor broadcast gynecological surgery live, the successive incidents are not accidental, although the platform has done corresponding treatment, but it still exposes the shortcomings of the platform's ability to check and review.
The platform is a content "reservoir", which must be equipped with a "regulating valve" and "filter" that screens the checks, which are both water injection and purification, and both water flow and water quality. If there is a mistake in responsibility and insufficient control, a drop of dirt is enough to destroy a pool of water, and there will be no regret at that time. A high-quality platform aggregates quality content and requires superior capabilities. Network co-governance, user review is the auxiliary, platform review is the key, effectively assume the responsibility of the platform, in order to win the trust and respect of users.

Jiang Ge's mother: Accepted the verdict of the first instance trial in the case of Liu Xin and did not appeal
On January 19, Jiang Ge's mother, Jiang Qiulian, posted a video on her Weibo account saying that she accepted the first-instance judgment in the case of Liu Nunxi (formerly known as Liu Xin) over the right to life dispute and decided not to appeal. Jiang Qiulian said in the video that the result of the first-instance judgment was expected. "Although I am not satisfied with the amount of compensation awarded, the purpose of my lawsuit against Liu Nuanxi is not how much compensation is paid, so I respect the judgment of the Chengyang District Court."
In the early morning of November 3, 2016, Jiang Ge, an international student from Qingdao, Shandong Province, was killed by Chen Shifeng, the ex-boyfriend of his friend Liu Xin, in front of his apartment in Nakano, Tokyo, Japan.
On October 28, 2019, Jiang Qiulian filed a right-to-life infringement lawsuit with the Chengyang District Court of Qingdao City. On April 15, 2021, the case was heard but the verdict was not pronounced in court, and the Chengyang District People's Court of Qingdao City, Shandong Province, conducted a live broadcast on the official Weibo, causing concern.
On January 10, the Chengyang District People's Court of Qingdao City, Shandong Province, rendered a first-instance judgment in the dispute between the plaintiff Jiang Qiulian and the defendant Liu Nuanxi over the right to life: the defendant Liu Nuanxi compensated the plaintiff Jiang Qiulian for various economic losses of 496,000 yuan and a consolation payment of 200,000 yuan for mental damage within 10 days of the effective date of the judgment, and bear all the case acceptance fees.
The court held that Liu Nuanxi, as a friend of Jiang Ge and the rescued person, did not truthfully inform and remind Jiang Ge of the danger of infringement introduced by him, and when faced with the imminent danger of Chen Shifeng's unlawful infringement, he disregarded the safety of others' lives for self-preservation, and blocked Jiang Ge from being killed outside the door of his own residence, which was obviously at fault and should bear the corresponding civil compensation liability.
