We will always prioritize energy security, adhere to a bottom-line mentality and a systematic approach, and focus on three key areas. First, we will ensure the "development" and "reservation" of fossil fuels. Coal is our greatest source of stable energy supply, and we must base our efforts on this national condition to build strong coal bases. For oil and gas, we will increase domestic exploration and development efforts, stabilize oil production, and increase natural gas supply. At the same time, we will strengthen energy reserves, improve the oil and gas reserve system, enhance coal-to-oil and gas production capacity and technology reserves, and improve coal production capacity reserves. Only in this way can we ensure unwavering security. Second, we will significantly increase the supply of non-fossil energy. Third, we will expand our network of energy cooperation partners.June 26 - On the morning of June 26, President Xi Jinping met with Tariq Rahman, Prime Minister of the Peoples Republic of Bangladesh, who was on an official visit to China, at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

Major media want to know who guaranteed Sam Bankman-Fried’s $250 million bond

Saying the public interest “cannot be overstated,” lawyers for the outlets, including Reuters, said the public’s right to know Bankman-Fried’s guarantors outweighed their privacy and safety rights.


In a letter to U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan in Manhattan, the lawyers distinguished the case from another judge’s December 2020 decision not to reveal who guaranteed a bond for British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, then accused and later convicted of aiding in financier Jeffrey Epstein’s sex crimes.


“While Mr. Bankman-Fried is accused of serious financial crimes, a public association with him does not carry nearly the same stigma as with the Jeffrey Epstein child sex trafficking scandal,” lawyers for the outlets wrote.


Media seeking to identify Bankman-Fried’s sureties also include the Associated Press, Bloomberg, CNBC, Wall Street Journal publisher Dow Jones, the Financial Times, Insider and the Washington Post. The New York Times has asked separately for the names.


A spokesman for Mark Cohen and Christian Everdell, who represent Bankman-Fried, declined to comment. Cohen and Everdell also represented Maxwell in her criminal case.


In seeking to keep the sureties’ names under wraps, Bankman-Fried’s lawyers said their client’s parents, who co-signed the $250 million bond, had been harassed and received physical threats since FTX’s early November collapse and bankruptcy.


The lawyers said there was “serious cause for concern” the additional sureties might suffer similar treatment if their names went public.


Bankman-Fried has pleaded not guilty to criminal charges that he looted billions of dollars at FTX, in part by diverting customer deposits to support his Alameda Research hedge fund, buy real estate, and make political donations.


His parents, Joseph Bankman and Barbara Fried, are Stanford Law School professors. Bankman, who has not been accused of wrongdoing, has hired his own lawyer in the case, according to a person familiar with the matter.
