《卫报》2月1日刊文，讨论台湾人不善游泳的问题。社会畏水的成因包括戒严历史（海滨有工事，河滨是刑场）、民间信仰（暑季是农历鬼月，忌游泳）等。马英九任内，政府2010年启动跨部会“泳起来专案”十二年计划，学校教游泳，军警消招录要求会游泳，效果有限。
记者亦访问马英九，他说自己因小时候差点溺水而发奋学游泳，现在每周都要游几次一千米，游泳是万事解方。
他又主动提及，习近平也爱游泳，二人会面时聊过。随后他信口说：“或许哪天我们见面，我们能一起游泳。我希望我能游过他，如果我赢了我就说‘你发誓不打台湾’。”言罢呵呵笑，秘书亦即澄清是玩笑话。

The S&P 500 slumped 1.8% on Monday and Tuesday, thanks to China Evergrande, the Chinese property company that looks like it is ready to default on its more-than $300 billion in debt. Cries of the next Lehman Brothers—or maybe the next Silverado?—echoed through the canyons of Wall Street as investors prepared for the worst.
Durov said on his Telegram channel today that the two and a half year blockchain and crypto project has been put to sleep. Ironically, after leaving Russia because the government wanted his encryption keys to his social media firm, Durov’s cryptocurrency idea lost steam because of a U.S. court. “The technology we created allowed for an open, free, decentralized exchange of value and ideas. TON had the potential to revolutionize how people store and transfer funds and information,” he wrote on his channel. “Unfortunately, a U.S. court stopped TON from happening.”
