September 3rd - According to Politico, German Defense Minister Pistorius will meet with US Defense Secretary Hergses in Washington this month. This is an unexpected turn of events, as Hergses had previously declined Pistoriuss request to visit earlier this year. Two informed NATO defense officials and a US defense official revealed that Pistorius will attend the rollout ceremony of the F-35 fighter jets purchased by Germany during his visit to the US and will hold talks with Hergses. Given Hergses previous refusal to meet with Pistorius, and the tense relations between the US and Germany due to the wars in Iran and Ukraine, this meeting is of great significance.On September 3, Liu Jie, Deputy Secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee and Governor of Zhejiang Province, conducted a special investigation in Hangzhou on the development of the artificial intelligence (AI) industry.

The Chinese Embassy in South Korea has already issued a statement on this matter. What is Chinas comment on this? Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun: The Joint Communiqué on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations between China and South Korea clearly states that the government of the Republic of Korea recognizes the government of the Peoples Republic of China as the sole legal government of China and respects Chinas position that there is only one China and that Taiwan is a part of China. Since the beginning of this year, the South Korean side has repeatedly stated that its position on adhering to the one-China principle remains unchanged. The organizers of the Gwangju Biennale in South Korea stubbornly persisted in their erroneous practices, condoning Taiwans participation in the exhibition under a name completely inconsistent with its identity, blatantly violating the one-China principle. China firmly opposes this and has lodged a solemn representation with the South Korean side, demanding that the relevant parties immediately correct their erroneous practices. We hope that the South Korean government will abide by its political commitments, earnestly assume its responsibilities, and put the one-China principle into practice with concrete actions. The DPP authorities are using cultural exchanges, conferences, and exhibitions as occasions for political manipulation and provocative actions aimed at "independence." Their intentions are sinister, and their methods are despicable. Their political schemes will not succeed.The U.S. ISM non-manufacturing supplier deliveries index was 51.3 in August, up from 52.8 in the previous month.The U.S. ISM non-manufacturing inventory index for August was 56.7, compared to 51.4 in the previous month.
