Foreign media pay attention! The investigation of ＂TongRumen＂ is coming to an end. How big will the trouble be？

　　CCTV News:On August 7th, the Central Radio and Television General Station’s "International Sharp Review" broadcast titled "The investigation of" TongRumen "is coming to an end. How much trouble will it be? The article was reprinted by many overseas media.

　　From 7 to 9 August, French LCF Radio facebook account, German-Chinese Report website, Spanish Radio International website, Italian Radio We website (facebook, twitter), Portugal Lisbon Rainbow FM website (facebook), Portugal Global Iberian client, Brazil Sao Paulo World Radio and Television website (facebook), Many overseas media, such as facebook, Turkish Economic Observation Network, Jordan Global Radio facebook account, Chinese PT portal, Chinese Headline APP, Portuguese New Newspaper APP(facebook, twitter), European Union Chinese website, Europe-China United Times website, Africa Times website, West Africa online website, Japanese Chinese business website, and Greek China website, have forwarded them one after another. From August 8 to 10, this article was also published and forwarded by Hong Kong Ta Kung Pao, wenhui network and Hong Kong Business Daily. The main reports are as follows:

　　US President Trump, who ruled the country by Twitter, once again pushed himself to the forefront with Twitter on the 5th, denouncing the report of "fake news" on his beloved eldest son Donald Trump Jr as "a complete fabrication", and revealed that in 2016, Trump Jr. met a Russian female lawyer at Trump Tower in new york, with the aim of obtaining information from his political opponents, which was "completely legal and a consistent practice in politics".

　　As early as more than a year ago, when The New York Times first disclosed the meeting, Trump Jr. made it clear that they were discussing a project on the adoption of Russian children that the US government had stopped. He also went to the closed-door hearing of Congress to ensure that Trump himself did not know about the meeting, and that the presidential campaign had nothing to do with Russia. However, a few months later, the media revealed that this statement was drafted by President Trump himself.

　　Now, 13 months after Trump Jr.’ s statement, President Trump actually admitted on Twitter that the meeting was to get the black materials of his opponent from Russian lawyers. People who are used to Trump’s reneging performance can’t help but be shocked when they see such a reversal! Ian Bremmer, chairman of Eurasia Group, the world’s largest political risk consulting company, concluded that either President Trump lied or the liar was Trump Jr.

　　The mainstream media in the United States and Europe have pointed out that the meeting two years ago happened to be an important link involved in the investigation of "TongRumen" conducted by Mueller, the special prosecutor of the US Department of Justice. With the approaching mid-term elections in the United States, the investigation of "TongRumen", which has been going on for more than a year, is drawing to a close. On the 5th, mainstream media in the United States, including Washington post, CNN and Associated Press, reported that the investigation of "TongRumen" is likely to harm people around President Trump, especially Trump Jr., the eldest son who planned and participated in the meeting.

　　Legal experts believe that Trump Jr.’ s contact with foreigners in order to obtain black materials from political opponents violates the relevant provisions of the US election law and may even be suspected of "conspiracy against the United States". At the beginning of this year, when Bannon, Trump’s strategist and former chief strategist of the White House, broke with Trump, he once said that the meeting was a treason. Nowadays, everyone has speculated whether such a heavy accusation has entered Muller’s "TongRumen" investigation list.

　　In fact, Mana Ford, another important figure in that meeting and former general manager of Trump’s campaign team, is now in deep jail because of many charges such as "conspiracy against the United States", and the case will be heard next month. At present, Manafort has been accused by the special prosecutor Mueller team for economic problems such as bank fraud and tax evasion, and the case has entered the trial stage. Although Mana Ford refused to plead guilty, Rick Gates, his former business partner and now a federal tainted witness, admitted to the jury on the 6th that he had helped Mana Ford commit crimes such as bank and securities fraud, and described the criminal process in detail. Earlier, Gates and Manafort were charged with money laundering and "conspiracy against the United States". He was dealt with separately because he all pleaded guilty and became a tainted witness.

　　Can Manafort continue to be hard-pressed and wait for Trump to exercise his presidential power in the future to give him Amnesty? Or will you plead guilty and become an important tainted witness of "TongRumen"? This is not only a drama that the media all over the world pay attention to, but also a trial that makes President Trump very worried.

　　Trump tweeted at the beginning of the trial that Mana Ford was wronged, saying that Mana Ford was once the right-hand man of former President Reagan and other Republican leaders, but now he was treated unfairly by the Mueller team, which was worse than that suffered by Alfonse Capone, the number one "public enemies" in the United States. He also questioned the evidence of communication with Russia and demanded that Attorney General sessions immediately terminate the investigation of "communication with Russia". Of course, the White House had to remedy afterwards that the president’s tweet was not giving orders, but expressing his views.

　　Trump’s aversion to the "TongRumen" investigation has a long history. Whenever it comes to the investigation of "TongRumen", he is always labeled as "witch hunting" and "fraud". According to American media statistics, in the first seven months of this year, he sent out 84 such labels.

　　At the same time, Michael Cohen, a former private lawyer who has handled all kinds of bad things and worries for Trump for many years, is now being investigated for being involved in bank and tax fraud activities, especially for possibly violating the relevant regulations of the election law. The US media disclosed that FBI agents had obtained a batch of audio clips in Cohen’s apartment, office and hotel room, among which Cohen secretly recorded a conversation with Trump, showing that they had discussed it with former Playboy magazine girl McDougall before the election, asking her to conceal her ulterior relationship with Trump. According to reports, Cohen also confirmed to the Muller investigation team that Trump met with Russian lawyers and got Trump’s approval in advance. This remark was immediately attacked by Trump’s current lawyer and former mayor of new york, Giuliani, calling Cohen a "pathological liar". Cohen, who used to talk about blocking bullets for Trump, has now turned against him. How much deadly black material is there in the conversation he secretly recorded?

　　As the investigation of "TongRumen" enters the final stage, President Trump, who is on vacation at the New Jersey Golf Course, is faced with a difficult choice: whether to take the initiative to accept the question of special prosecutor Muller or wait for Muller’s summons to answer the question? Will this duplicitous American president, who is good at picking things up, play another trick to divert public attention and cover up his weak life? Or, did Muller offer a fatal blow to Trump when former FBI Director Komi made a move against Hillary?

Extraordinary resume. The new general has been in office for two years and three years. He was the successor of Liu Yuan, the ＂Tiger Fighting General＂

　　CCTV News:The ceremony of the promotion of the Central Military Commission to the rank of general was held in Beijing Bayi Building on November 2nd. The Supreme Leader issued a writ to Zhang Shengmin, member of the 19th Central Committee, member of the Central Military Commission and secretary of the Disciplinary Committee of the Central Military Commission in communist party, China, and congratulated him.

　　　　　 At this point, the only member of the new Central Military Commission with the rank of Lieutenant General was also awarded the rank of General.

　　According to the public resume, Zhang Shengmin was born in 1958, and his ancestral home was in Shaanxi. He used to be the political commissar of the Second Artillery Command College. After leaving the Second Artillery Command College, he served as the political commissar of a base of the Second Artillery Corps.

　　In 2011, Zhang Shengmin worked in a base in the northwest of the Second Artillery Corps. The People’s Liberation Army Daily recorded such a scene:

　　In the club of the Guard Company, more than 80 officers and men from the teams directly under the base organs sat neatly, ready to carry out the activity of "respecting cadres and loving soldiers". To everyone’s surprise, Zhang Shengmin, the political commissar of the base, suddenly pushed the door and came in.

　　"As a veteran, I’m here to participate in today’s discussion, so you can let go and speak your mind!" Zhang Shengmin explained the purpose. In a lively and enthusiastic discussion atmosphere, Zhang Shengmin talked about his personal feelings about the relationship between officers and men. He deeply reviewed his 32-year friendship with the first squad leader, and told everyone that the backbone of cadres should bring the company and the squad a sense of happiness and belonging, so that the soldiers can be happy because of their dedication and proud of being under your command. This is the highest realm of leading troops. He gave five words to the cadres: "Love deeply, know the truth, teach properly, help diligently and be upright."

　　Yushu disaster relief is an important moment in Zhang Shengmin’s military career. After the earthquake, he led more than 1,000 officers and men to the disaster area to carry out post-disaster reconstruction. They firmly grasped the characteristics of the large number of Tibetan religious believers and the great influence of monks’ monasteries, helped the Zen Ancient Temple, the largest Tibetan Buddhist temple in Yushu, to build 310 square meters of board houses, and donated a number of tents and quilts to solve the urgent needs of more than 260 monks in accommodation, study and storage of religious relics, so that they resumed normal religious activities 13 days after the earthquake.
　　Cai Ren Ding Pei, then deputy governor of Yushu Prefecture, commented on these officers and men: "Even these soldiers seem to have forgotten that they are also flesh and blood, and they are desperately trying to save people and food day and night, regardless of their thirst, hunger and fatigue, but they give water, food and tents to the affected people." Zhang Shengmin told him: "The common people are the parents of the people’s soldiers, and the soldiers want nothing but the interests of the people."

　　At the end of 2014, the senior generals of the army were routinely adjusted, and Zhang Shengmin became the former director of the Political Department of the Second Artillery Corps.

　　　　　 In 2015, the curtain of a new round of military reform was opened. This time, the organs of the Central Military Commission were adjusted and formed. According to the general principles of the Central Military Commission, the main battle of the theater and the main construction of the military service, the headquarters system was changed into a multi-department system. The original headquarters were the General Staff Department, the General Political Department, the General Logistics Department and the General Armament Department. It has been changed into 15 functional departments: General Office of the Military Commission, Joint Staff of the Military Commission, Political Work Department of the Military Commission, Logistics Support Department of the Military Commission, Equipment Development Department of the Military Commission, Training Management Department of the Military Commission, National Defense Mobilization Department of the Military Commission, Discipline Inspection Committee of the Military Commission, Political and Legal Committee of the Military Commission, Science and Technology Committee of the Military Commission, Strategic Planning Office of the Military Commission, Reform and Establishment Office of the Military Commission, International Military Cooperation Office of the Military Commission, Audit Office of the Military Commission and General Administration of Military Organs.

　　After the start of the military reform, Zhang Shengmin was appointed as the political commissar of the Training Management Department of the Military Commission. Zhang Shengmin once said that the best "scene" is on the battlefield! Making the on-site meeting close to practice and battlefield is not only the need to speed up the transformation of combat effectiveness generation mode, but also the meaning of grasping construction in motion.

　　As early as 2011, Zhang Shengmin, who also worked in a base of the former Second Artillery Corps, traveled thousands of miles with nearly 100 senior officers of his brigade, gathered in the dense forest of the northern country, and held a special on-the-spot meeting on "Accelerating the transformation of combat effectiveness generation mode" under the field environment, taking the opportunity of the cross-regional training exercise of the troops. See clearly, realize clearly. Participants who were in the field environment and the actual combat training site observed more than 30 sub-items in six major items, from mobile command system integration training, command post training, factor synthesis training to field deployment and field afterloading support, and had an unprecedented intuitive understanding of actual combat training under the conditions of informationization.

　　In addition, Zhang Shengmin has made great efforts in promoting the construction of grass-roots companies and strengthening the daily education of officers and men. During his work in Northwest China, the Political Department of Zhang Shengmin’s base independently developed a network virtual education system using 3D engine technology, which was composed of 14 sets of teaching games and 7 sets of interesting answering systems, and was well received by officers and men. Zhang Shengmin said in an interview: "This is a brand-new attempt for the base to use the Internet to carry out political work!"

　　In November 2016, Zhang Shengmin was re-appointed as the political commissar of the Logistics Support Department of the Central Military Commission. Before Zhang Shengmin took office, this position had been vacant for nearly a year. The logistics support department of CMC was formerly the former General Logistics Department of PLA. General Liu Yuan, former political commissar of the General Logistics Department and member of the 18th Central Committee, will retire at the end of 2015.

　　On February 28th, 2017, the enlarged meeting of the Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Central Military Commission was held in Beijing. Zhang Shengmin appeared as the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Central Military Commission, and the Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Central Military Commission after the military reform ushered in its second secretary.

　　The Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Central Military Commission, referred to as the Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Central Military Commission for short, is an important department in the army to "fight tigers". After the reform, compared with the Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Central Military Commission originally under the General Political Department, its independence and authority have been improved.

Domestic gold price hit a six-year high. Is gold really the only safe-haven option？

　　For some time, the price of gold has continued to strengthen. At the end of June, the price of the New York Mercantile Exchange gold futures hit a new high since May 2013, with the highest quotation reaching $1,433.3 per ounce, which is still being adjusted at a high level recently. Because the financial attribute of gold is much higher than the commodity attribute, the trend of gold price has a strong correlation with the world political and economic situation.

　　The current round of gold price rise began in the second half of 2018. In the same period, the world economy began to slow down after a strong synchronous recovery lasting for more than a year, and trade and investment activities were significantly weakened. In the World Economic Outlook Report released in January and April this year, the International Monetary Fund lowered the global economic growth rate twice this year. The latest World Trade Outlook Index released by the World Trade Organization on May 20th also fell to the lowest level in recent years.

　　The sustained rise in the price of gold can be understood from two aspects.

　　First of all, the strength of the dollar no longer makes the price of gold get significant support. In the face of increasing economic downside risks, the voices of various economies calling for monetary easing have revived. The European Central Bank claims that it is considering more stimulus measures, which may further reduce interest rates from the current low point. Australia, Russia, India and other countries have begun to relax monetary policy. The growth momentum of the US economy has weakened recently, and the latest inflation, manufacturing PMI and other indicators are less than expected. At the congressional hearing on the 10th of this month, the chairman of the Federal Reserve said that he would take necessary actions to maintain the sustained growth of the US economy, consolidating the previous expectation of a US dollar interest rate cut. Last month, the trend of the strong dollar in the previous two years reversed, and the dollar index fell by 1.65% in June, which significantly supported the prices of precious metals including gold.

　　Secondly, the increased awareness of risk aversion in various countries has made gold popular again. Factors such as the "US priority" policy and the "Brexit" tug-of-war in Britain have led to increased market uncertainty; Conflicts in many hot spots continue, and the international environment is complex and changeable. In this context, a large number of safe-haven funds have flooded into the gold market, and central banks are also increasing the allocation of gold. According to the report of the World Gold Council, in 2018, the global central bank added 651 tons of official gold reserves, up 74% year-on-year, which was the highest net purchase of the global central bank since the decoupling of the US dollar from gold in 1971. In the first quarter of this year, the global central bank’s gold reserves continued to grow, with 145.5 tons of new purchases, the highest level in six years.

　　At present, the international political and economic risks have not dissipated, and safe-haven demand and loose monetary policy will continue to support the high price of gold. However, it is difficult to reproduce the situation of continuous soaring in the past. On the one hand, countries all over the world have generally recognized the need to jointly cope with and resolve risks. The Osaka Declaration adopted at the just-concluded G20 Summit shows that all parties are committed to achieving a free, fair, non-discriminatory, transparent, predictable and stable trade and investment environment and injecting confidence into the world economy. On the other hand, the choice of safe-haven financial instruments and asset portfolios is increasing, especially with the maturity of technology and the improvement of market recognition, digital assets are sought after, and gold is no longer the only choice.
