　　Kirby, spokesman of the White House National Security Council, said on February 14th that there was no indication that the three UFOs shot down by US military planes recently were related to China, and they were probably not used maliciously, but were used for commercial or research activities. Recently, the United States has used the accidental incident of China civilian unmanned airship straying into US airspace to hype up the monitoring problem. The plot of this farce has become more and more absurd, even to the point where it can’t be justified.

　　When it comes to monitoring, the hat of "monitoring the country" is the most suitable for the United States to wear. As China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin responded on February 14, "The United States is the world’s number one surveillance country." The United States has a long history of monitoring the world. From the "black box plan" after World War I, the "clover action" after World War II, to relying on the "echelon system" to obtain global intelligence gathering ability during the Cold War; From gathering allies to forming a multinational monitoring organization "Five Eyes Alliance" permeated with the Cold War mentality, to the prism project & HELIP implemented since the 21st century; … For a long time, the United States has abused its own technological advantages to conduct large-scale and indiscriminate eavesdropping and stealing secrets from the whole world, including its allies. The so-called "China Balloon" incident is frequently hyped by the US at present, not so much because of "worry" about US national security, but rather because of the thief’s shouting to catch the thief. The lies and rumors concocted by the United States about other countries can all be found in the history of the United States itself — — If the United States suspects that you have done something bad, it must have done it yourself.

　　What deserves the vigilance of the international community is that the United States is becoming increasingly insecure and sensitive, and monitoring the world seems to have become a way for the United States to "continue its life" for its own hegemony. According to Danish media reports, the US National Security Agency used the opportunity of cooperation with Danish intelligence agencies to monitor political figures in Germany, Sweden, Norway and France, including then German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Since the 1970s, the U.S. intelligence department has been manipulating the Swiss-based encryption equipment supplier Krypto Company, making huge profits by selling encryption machines to foreign governments and enterprises, while stealing confidential information from more than 120 countries by decoding the company’s encryption technology. The website of Spain’s El Pais once pointed out sharply that the United States tried to "reverse the inevitable decline" by controlling global information. Accurately tracking people’s ideological trends by monitoring the whole world is becoming the most important resource for the United States in global competition.

　　Even though its true face as a "monitoring empire" has been exposed, the United States has always been reluctant to throw away its "fig leaf", trying to dress itself up as a victim of monitoring and constantly staged a farce of "thieves shouting to catch thieves." The United States has repeatedly "splashed dirty water" on China over the incident that China’s civilian unmanned airship strayed into US airspace, but in fact, the United States knows very well how many "spy" detection balloons have been released in the world. In 2022, the United States frequently dispatched warships to China for approaching reconnaissance as high as 657 sorties, and in January this year alone, it reached 64 sorties in the South China Sea, which seriously endangered China’s national security and undermined regional peace and stability. Since May, 2022, the United States has released a large number of high-altitude balloons in the United States and continuously circled the world. Without the approval of relevant Chinese authorities, it has illegally flown over China’s airspace for at least 10 times, including Xinjiang and Tibet. The first thing the United States should do is to reflect on itself and change its course, instead of smearing and inciting confrontation everywhere. Even The New York Times recently published an article saying that after Snowden exposed many activities of the National Security Agency ten years ago, the whole world knew that the United States broke into the network of China telecom enterprises, "and this is only a small part of the US surveillance of China".

　　Johander Lery, an American scholar and professor at Yonsei University, wrote in the American Foreign Policy magazine on February 13th, recalling that the United States had "spared no effort to spy on" China’s history during the Cold War, and called on Americans to have a good understanding of their own history of spying on and subverting other countries and remain humble. This advice is worthy of reflection by the US. (Chen Yang)

Every year, about 48 million people in the United States suffer from food poisoning (also known as food-borne diseases). This happens when pathogens such as viruses, bacteria and parasites or their toxins enter food. Before buying food or at home, food will be contaminated by harmful microorganisms if it is not handled or cooked properly.

Symptoms of food poisoning

The symptoms of food poisoning are usually similar to other intestinal diseases: abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and fever. But if children have the same symptoms as other people who eat the same food, it is more likely to be food poisoning.

Some bacteria and food poisoning

Other sources include:

salmonella

Salmonella (there are many kinds) is the main cause of food poisoning in the United States. The most common contaminated foods are raw meat (including chicken), raw or undercooked eggs and unpasteurized milk. Fortunately, when the food is completely cooked, Salmonella will be killed. Symptoms caused by salmonella infection usually begin 6 to 48 hours after eating and may last for 7 days.

If the baby’s milk powder is contaminated by Cronobacterium or Salmonella, there may be symptoms such as poor eating, temperature change, jaundice, wheezing, abnormal exercise, drowsiness, rash or blood in urine or stool.

escherichia coli

Escherichia coli is a group of bacteria that usually live in the intestines of children and adults. Some strains of these bacteria can cause food-related diseases. Undercooked ground beef is a common source of Escherichia coli, and raw agricultural products and polluted water can also cause it.

Symptoms of Escherichia coli infection usually include diarrhea (ranging from mild to severe), abdominal pain, and in some cases nausea and vomiting. Some E.coli symptoms are very serious, and in rare cases, they even lead to death. Take more rest and drink plenty of water when Escherichia coli is infected. However, if the symptoms are serious, you need to go to the hospital in time.

Staphylococcus aureus

Staphylococcus aureus pollution is the main cause of food poisoning. These bacteria usually cause skin infections, such as acne or boils. When an infected person touches food, the pathogen will spread. When the food is not hot enough, staphylococcus will multiply and produce a toxin that ordinary cooking can’t destroy. These symptoms begin 1 to 6 hours after eating contaminated food and usually last for about 1 day.

Clostridium perfringens

Clostridium perfringens is a kind of bacteria often found in soil, sewage and human and animal intestines. It is usually transferred from the person who handles the food to the food itself, where it breeds and produces toxins. Clostridium perfringens often appears in school canteens. The most commonly involved foods are cooked beef, poultry, gravy, fish, casseroles, stews and bean burritos. Symptoms of this type of poisoning begin 6 to 24 hours after eating and last for 1 to several days.

Shigella disease

Shigella infection, or shigellosis, is an intestinal infection caused by one of many kinds of Shigella. These bacteria can spread through contaminated food and drinking water, or in places with poor sanitary conditions. Bacteria invade the intestinal lining, which can cause symptoms such as diarrhea, fever and spasm. Shigellosis and its symptoms usually start 1-3 days after contact and get better 2-3 days after symptoms appear. Meanwhile, children should drink more water. Depending on the situation, the doctor may prescribe antibiotics, which can shorten the time and intensity of infection.

Campylobacter

Campylobacter is a kind of bacteria, which usually exists in raw or undercooked chicken, unpasteurized milk or polluted water. Children infected with Campylobacter usually have watery diarrhea (sometimes with blood), spasm and fever after eating contaminated food for about 2 to 5 days. Diagnosis requires stool samples for laboratory testing. In treatment, it is necessary to ensure that children drink plenty of fluids to replenish the water lost by diarrhea. Depending on the specific circumstances, the doctor may prescribe antibiotics. In most cases, symptoms will improve in about 2 to 5 days.

botulism

This is a rare but serious food poisoning caused by Botox. These bacteria usually exist in soil and water. However, they usually do not cause diseases because they need very special conditions to reproduce and produce toxins. Botox grows best under anaerobic and certain chemical conditions. This is why improper canned food is the most vulnerable to pollution, especially low-acid vegetables, such as green beans, corn, beets and peas.

Honey may also be contaminated by Botox, leading to serious diseases, especially for children under one year old. This is why it is not recommended to eat honey before the baby is one year old.

Botulinum poisoning can attack the nervous system, leading to diplopia, drooping eyelids, decreased muscle tone, difficulty swallowing and breathing. It can also cause vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain. Symptoms usually appear within 12 to 48 hours and last for weeks to months. Babies may have a longer incubation period. Botulinum poisoning can be fatal if left untreated. Even after treatment, it can cause nerve damage.

cryptosporidiosis

In rare cases, watery diarrhea, low fever and abdominal pain may be caused by cryptosporidium infection. This kind of infection deserves special attention in children with abnormal immune system.

Other sources of food poisoning

Poisonous mushrooms, contaminated fish products and foods containing special seasonings may also cause food poisoning. If the child has unusual gastrointestinal symptoms and has any possibility of eating contaminated or toxic food, he should go to the hospital in time.

Food poisoning | treatment

Most children with food-borne diseases will get better by themselves after stopping eating and drinking for a short time. If the child still vomits or diarrhea is not obviously relieved or other discomfort symptoms appear, please go to the hospital in time.

If the following symptoms occur:

There are signs of dehydration

bloody diarrhea

Diarrhea with high fever (over 39 degrees)

Persistent diarrhea, a lot of water in the stool or abnormal stool characteristics.

Suddenly become weak, numb, confused or uneasy, and feel tingling, or have hallucinations or difficulty breathing.

……

The treatment depends on the child’s condition and the type of food poisoning. Tell the doctor about children’s symptoms, what food they have eaten recently, and where they got it. If the child is dehydrated, supplementing water is the key, and sometimes antibiotics are useful. If the disease is caused by an allergic reaction to food, toxins or seasonings, antihistamines will help. If the child has botulism, he needs hospitalization and intensive care.
