Cheap Heartburn remedy might provide a cheap alternative against the Wuhan Virus
Most news headlines on Wuhan Virus treatment have focused on remdesivir, chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine. However, such early coverage has drawn premature popularity for those drugs. For instance, Donald Trump has promoted the use of chloroquine before the completion of clinical trials, and some patients suffered from side effects after taking chloroquine without medical supervision (https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-touts-chloroquine-for-covid-19-but-dismisses-risks-2020-4). Moreover, drug candidates tend to have higher demand from the public and hospitals after gaining public popularity. As a result, there is insufficient stockpile left for clinical trials and treatments for other diseases.
In contrast to the aforementioned drug candidates, clinical trails are quietly conducted for a cheap heartburn remedy called famotidine. Researches on famotidine have been kept in low profile to avoid drawing premature attention and reserving sufficient stockpile for clinical trials.
Infectious disease doctor named Michael Callahan and doctors from Wuhan first noticed the potential clinical effect of famotidine. Callahan and colleagues noticed poor peasants seem to have a higher survival rate. After further investigation of patient's records, Callahan and colleagues realised the higher survival rate coincides with stomach illness treatment by famotidine, a cheap medicine taken by poorer people.
The initial observation of famotidine was reported to Robert Malone, a chief medical officer of Florida-based Alchem Laboratories. Malone and computational chemist Joshua Pottel later computationally predicted that famotidine can target a protein the Wuhan Virus, which is a sign that famotidine may prevent Wuhan Virus from replicating. Adding to that, later observations have seen infected hospital staffs showing improved recovery after taking famotidine.
While famotidine may provide a low-cost and safe alternative against the Wuhan Virus, it is still too early to assign famotidine as a routine treatment against the Wuhan Virus. The potential of famotidine requires further examinations with an ongoing clinical trial involving 1174 participants.

Trump: If China imposes National Security Law in Hong Kong, US will respond vigorously
US President Donald Trump expresses that if China imposes National Security Law over Hong Kong as a response to last year's anti-extradition bill conflict, America will have a strong response.
According to Stand News in Hong Kong, the Chinese government believes with the appearance of terrorism, foreign interference, independence ideals, and governance crisis in Hong Kong, China's unity, economic security, and the internationalization of the RMB are being adversely affected. Beijing will make clear that despite international clamor, it will not back down from enacting the National Security Law in Hong Kong.
The PRC's Ministry of Foreign Affairs also has written to many nations' embassies, expressing the law's necessity and stressing stability in Hong Kong will benefit foreign interests in the city.

Trump âhas a pointâ about WHO flaws, says Germanyâs health minister
//Jens Spahn tells FT that while the UN body needs reforming, now is not the time to destabilise it
//âIn the middle of a crisis, when youâre putting out fires, you canât talk about reforming the fire brigadeâ
//Germanyâs health minister has urged the US to stay in the World Health Organization, while acknowledging that the UN body was too dependent on some of its member states and needed an overhaul.
//the organisation was susceptible to âinfluence by individual membersâ and âmust become less dependent on [those] countriesâ. âBut itâs a different thing entirely to say we donât need the WHO any more,â he added.
//The German minister was speaking days after US president Donald Trump threatened to withdraw from the WHO unless it demonstrated independence from China.
//The president has repeatedly sought to blame China for the spread of Covid-19... and accused the WHO of helping Beijing hide the truth about the outbreak.
//Without mentioning China, Mr Spahn said that the US âdoes have a point â the WHO needs to reform its governance and accountabilityâ.

China, Iran targeting presidential campaigns with hacking attempts, Google announces
//Chinese and Iranian government hackers have targeted the Gmail accounts of staffers working on the presidential campaigns of Joe Biden and President Trump, respectively
//They may do so in search of insights into the thinking of the next American leader, or as the Russians did in 2016, to obtain material that might be disclosed publicly or used to interfere in the election.
//The hackers used a common technique called âphishing,â... enabling the hacker to gain access to the targetâs credentials.
//Some analysts say the greater threat is the prospect of hacking, dumping and altering information that can embarrass or disparage a candidate or damage a campaign. The hacking and leaking of Democratic emails in 2016 led to the resignations of party officials and disrupted the party convention.
//Google threat analyst Shane Huntley said on Twitter that the hacker groups involved are APT31, which is linked to the Chinese government, and APT35, which is linked to the Iranian government.
//In 2008, Chinese government hackers compromised the computer networks of then- Sens. and presidential rivals Barack Obama (Ill.) and John McCain (Ariz.). In 2012, foreign and domestic hackers tried to gain access to the campaign networks of Obama and Mitt Romney (R).
//Iran has a history of weaponizing information... after seeing the political divisions Russia exploited in 2016 through both hacking and social media operations, it might be tempted to try something similar

Australiaâs trust in China and confidence in Donald Trump have hit new lows
//Australians are more distrustful of the world⌠this year has captured historic lows in trust in its closest trading partner China and even its closest strategic ally, the United States.
//Only 23 per cent of Australians surveyed trusted China âa great dealâ or âsomewhatâ to act responsibly in the world, down from 52 per cent in 2018.
//22 per cent of Australians said they had confidence in Chinese President Xi Jinping to do the right thing in world affairs, almost half of the 43 per cent backing he got in 2018.
//The poll... taking into account some of the impact of coronavirus, but not the recent Australia-China trade stoush and Chinaâs warning to students to reconsider travel to Australia.
//Many Australians will have lived their lives differently if China had acted more quickly and with more transparency
//Sixty-eight per cent of people said they now feel âless favourable towards Chinaâs system of governmentâ when thinking about Chinaâs handling of the pandemic.
//confidence in President Xi had already been sliding in last yearâs survey results and the Hong Kong protests, as well as human rights abuses in Xinjiang province against Uyghurs, may also have been a factor.
Confidence in Trump
//While 78 per cent of Australians said its alliance with the United States is very or fairly important to Australiaâs security, 51 per cent said they trust the country to act responsibly in the world, down 30 per cent from a 2009 high point.
//Thirty per cent of Australians said they had confidence in US President Donald Trump to do the right thing in world affairs.
//his America First policies arenât good for Australia...âHe puts his interests above his allies and cuddles up to autocrats, such as photo-ops with Kim Jong Un. This sort of embrace of autocracy doesnât go down too well in Australia,â
//Seventy-three per cent of Australians said they would prefer democratic nominee Joe Biden to be president over Mr Trump.
Decoupling from China
//A huge 94 per cent of Australians said they wanted the government to look for other markets to reduce its economic dependence on China.

What are Beijingâs calculations?
(24 Jun) The series of iron-fisted moves last month in Hong Kong may seem sudden to international observers: Hong Kong governmentâs earlier reinterpretation of the China-Hong Kong relationship, the election of a pro-Beijing legislator to be a Legislative Council chair through a controversial mechanism, and Beijingâs recent decision to impose a national security law on Hong Kong. The desire to bring Hong Kong under the banner of âone country, one systemâ is not impulsive. Quite the contrary, itâs a calculated campaign to initiate a so-called âsecond reunification with Hong Kongâ â since the first reunification after the handover, using a lenient soft-power approach, has supposedly failed.
What are Beijingâs calculations that motivate this bold campaign now? And more important, will the campaign work?

#Trump Administration Advisors: Chinese Companies Must Comply with US Audit Requirements by 2022 or Risk Getting Delisted
The Trump administration advisers have proposed to President Trump that Chinese companies shall lose their listings on the US stock markets if they do not comply with US audit requirements by 2022.
The US Senate has already passed a bill in May 2020 requiring the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (#PCAOB) to audit foreign listed companies. If the relevant companies fail to comply for three consecutive years, the companies will be forced to give up their listings. The Wall Street Journal has reported that the Presidentâs Working Group (#PWG) on Financial Markets, chaired by Treasury Secretary Mnuchin, has announced at a briefing on August 6th that they have completed a report on how to protect American investors. At the briefing, the officials from the treasury department stated that Chinese companies currently listed on the US exchanges must disclose their accounts to the PCAOB, and that Chinese companies will be delisted from US stock markets if they fail to meet these audit requirements by 2022. In other words, Chinese companies currently listed in the US still have more than a year to prepare their audits.
According to a Reuters report, Chinese companies preparing to go public on the US exchanges must comply with the new audit regulations. The report also states that Chinese firms can opt for a âco-auditâ through U.S. accounting firms with China-based affiliates.

Trump Signed Executive Order Forcing TikTok to be sold in 90 days
US President Donald Trump signed a new executive order requesting TikTokâs parent company, ByteDance, to sell or to withdraw its U.S. business within 90 days.
Trump signed the executive order on the 14th and said that there was credible evidence showing ByteDance may take actions to imperil the national security of the U.S. The order required ByteDance to destroy all TikTok data attached to U.S. users after selling its U.S. business in 90 days, then to inform the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (#CFIUS) when it had destroyed all that data.
ByteDance did not respond to this order directly but stated that 100 million Americans loved TikTok because they can get opportunities for entertainment, self-expression, as well as social connections, and would continue to bring joy to the users.
