President Xi Jinping stressed that the Chinese side’s position on safeguarding national reunification and territorial integrity is clear-cut.
It is hoped that the U.S. side will adhere to the correct position of opposing “Taiwan independence,” and handle the Taiwan question with caution, so as to lay a solid foundation for China-U.S. strategic cooperation and the development of bilateral relations.
After 11 years as a sports columnist at the Seattle Times, I have decided to resign. It was entirely my choice, and it was not an easy one. The impetus was the Times declining to run a column I wrote from the perspective of two female student athletes who were opposed to competing against biological males. It was one of several pieces of mine that had been spiked, and I no longer felt like I could properly do my job as a columnist. I lay out the situation in greater detail in the link below, but I want to say that I enjoyed my time with the paper, find the talent there to be immense, and have no animosity toward anyone who works there. It was just time for a change.
Thick black ash coated roof terraces in the north of Madrid's center, the Spanish capital, where 70,000 people were evacuated as residents were forced to keep their windows closed by the smell of throat-irritating smoke.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez visited the fire zone near Madrid and said the priority was to "save lives" while warning that a "complex" fight lay ahead. His government declared a national emergency.
Fires have burned more than 320,000 acres of forest already this year in Spain, up from an annual average of more than 240,000 acres over the past decade, Sanchez said. He said more favorable weather on Saturday offered "a window of opportunity" for fire crews to bring the blazes under control.
