菲外交部：中国无权反对菲在南中国海合法例行活动
菲律宾外交部星期四（5月29日）指中国无权反对或干涉菲律宾在南中国海展开的合法与例行活动。
据路透社报道，菲国外交部也称，针对中国驻菲使馆发言人在声明中称中国对南沙群岛有无可争辩的主权，菲国外交部对此予以拒绝和驳斥。
中国驻菲律宾使馆发言人曾在去年4月强调，中国对南沙群岛及其附近海域拥有无可争辩的主权。中国海警今年5月也重申这一立场。

“To the extent it is used I fear it’s often for illicit finance. It’s an extremely inefficient way of conducting transactions, and the amount of energy that’s consumed in processing those transactions is staggering,” the former Fed chairwoman said. Yellen’s comments have been cited as a reason for bitcoin’s recent losses. However, Yellen’s assessment of bitcoin as a inefficient medium of exchange is an important point and one that has already been raised in the past by bitcoin bulls. Using a volatile asset in exchange for goods and services makes little sense if the asset can tumble 10% in a day, or surge 80% over the course of a two months as bitcoin has done in 2021, critics argue. To put a finer point on it, over the past 12 months bitcoin has registered 8 corrections, defined as a decline from a recent peak of at least 10% but not more than 20%, and two bear markets, which are defined as falls of 20% or more, according to Dow Jones Market Data.
Secure video calling is in high demand. As an alternative to Zoom, many people are using end-to-end encrypted apps such as WhatsApp, FaceTime or Signal to speak to friends and family face-to-face since coronavirus lockdowns started to take place across the world. There’s another option—secure communications app Telegram just added video calling to its feature set, available on both iOS and Android. The new feature is also super secure—like Signal and WhatsApp and unlike Zoom (yet), video calls will be end-to-end encrypted.
