Some banks have successively adjusted the online trading limit of personal accounts, and some banks have reduced their daily limit to less than 5,000 yuan.

Our reporter Peng Yan

Recently, some banks have adjusted the transaction limit of non-counter channel payment. Many banks, such as Bank of Qingdao and bank of dalian, have successively issued announcements to reduce the total payment limit of some personal accounts through non-counter channels. Among them, Qingdao Bank adjusted the daily limit of some personal accounts to less than 5,000 yuan.

According to the reporter’s understanding, since last year, in order to ensure the financial security of customer accounts, a number of banks have successively adjusted the limits of some customers’ non-counter transactions. What is the specific limit and whether it is limited? Banks make different adjustments to different regions and different customers, depending on the actual use of personal accounts and relevant policies in the region.

According to the historical usage of customers’ bills, Qingdao Bank will take protective measures to reduce the total payment limit of some personal accounts in non-counter channels (including online banking, mobile banking, express payment, self-service teller machines’ ATM’ and consumer terminals’ ‘POS machines’). The so-called non-counter channel refers to the business that is not handled at the bank counter, including but not limited to the business handled through online banking, mobile banking, gateway payment, express payment, POS, ATM, etc.

The Securities Daily reporter called a branch of Qingdao Bank, and the bank’s counter staff said that reducing the total payment limit of some personal accounts in non-counter channels was mainly aimed at restricting transactions in personal bank accounts with no transactions for a long time and low account balance, and adjusting the daily limit to less than 5,000 yuan.

"The risk control for personal bank accounts is tightened mainly to reduce the risk of damage to users’ funds. Because many users have lost their bank cards or have not used them for a long time. " The counter staff of Qingdao Bank told reporters that if the user subsequently applies for raising the limit, the bank will set a reasonable off-counter payment limit after re-evaluation.

Wu Dan, a researcher at China Banking Research Institute, told the Securities Daily that this is an important way to prevent and control bank accounts. It is difficult to confirm the real trading intention of customers for large-value transactions in non-counter channels, and it is difficult for customers to recover once the transfer is successful, so it is necessary to improve the transaction monitoring measures. Identifying customers’ daily trading habits through technical means, conducting customer risk assessment in time, and imposing account restrictions on abnormal operations can effectively protect customers’ "money bags" and give them normal operations when the security signals are sufficient, which greatly improves the quality and efficiency of financial anti-fraud and anti-fraud work.

In recent years, banks have been strengthening the management of personal accounts, from clearing "sleep accounts" to "one-person excess accounts", and then upgrading to include bank cards with balances lower than those in 10 yuan into sleep accounts. In particular, since last year, a number of banks have launched the "broken card" action.

Xue Hongyan, vice president of Xingtu Financial Research Institute, told the Securities Daily that the bank’s adjustment of account limit is mainly based on the need to prevent telecommunication network fraud or anti-money laundering. It monitors the account payment and transfer in real time through the system model, and adjusts the trigger limit for abnormal accounts. In addition, some sleep accounts that have not been used for a long time may also be lowered by the bank and need to be reactivated at the counter.

Wu Dan said that it is equally important for banks to improve the convenience of customers’ transactions and ensure the safety of customers’ funds. It is necessary to continuously improve the ability of account risk prevention and control management, find high-risk account transactions in time and implement dynamic tracking to reduce the risks involved in related accounts.

Xue Hongyan said that banks should improve the recognition accuracy of the monitoring model; For the account that triggers the limit adjustment mechanism, more options should be given to remove the restrictions, especially allowing users to operate online, so as to reduce the time cost and transportation cost of counter application.

Japanese companies exposed fraud scandal again. Mitsubishi Materials tampered with product data.

2025年5月12日 | admin | C3

　　Xinhua News Agency, Tokyo, November 23rd (Reporter Ma Caoran, Qian Zheng) Japanese nonferrous metal giant Mitsubishi Materials Co., Ltd. announced on the 23rd that its subsidiaries Mitsubishi Electric Wire Industry and Mitsubishi Shentong had falsified product data, and the number of affected enterprises reached 258.

　　The announcement pointed out that the number of rubber sealing rings produced by Mitsubishi Electric Wire Co., Ltd. from April 2015 to September 2017 was found to have tampered with the data, reaching about 270 million, involving 229 customers. Among them, there are 70 aerospace customers. This product is widely used in automobiles, ships, aircraft engines and other equipment. Unqualified products involve ships and aircraft engines of the Japanese Self-Defense Force.

　　The copper products produced by Mitsubishi Shentong Ruosong Manufacturing Co., Ltd. from October 18, 2016 to October 17, 2017 had data tampering, and the problem copper products reached 879 tons, involving 29 customers. This material is mainly used in automobile industry, and Mitsubishi Shentong tampered with the most important strength data.

　　Mitsubishi Electric Wire and Mitsubishi Shentong discovered the problem as early as October this year, but they did not announce it to the public, which was strongly criticized by the outside world.

　　In addition, Mitsubishi Aluminum, a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Materials, was also exposed to data fraud. However, the company said that it has confirmed the product quality and safety to all customers and did not disclose more information.

　　This is the second time that Japanese manufacturing companies have exposed data fraud scandals. Previously, Kobe Steel Works was also exposed to product data fraud, while Nissan and Subaru were exposed to "quality inspection doors". The product quality control that Japanese companies were proud of was repeatedly questioned by the outside world. Some analysts pointed out that data fraud has the risk of expansion within the Japanese non-ferrous metal industry.

　　Mitsubishi Materials is a Japanese nonferrous metal giant, which was reorganized by Mitsubishi Metals and Mitsubishi Mining in 1990. In fiscal year 2016, the operating income reached 1.3040 trillion yen, the net profit was 28.3 billion yen, and the number of employees reached 25,000.

How many ＂hidden rules＂ are there in project application？

2025年5月9日 | admin | C3

　　"Getting a national project can not only improve the technical ability, but also recognize the enterprise. Others may look up at us and talk about cooperation. However, these projects are so high that it seems difficult for us to reach them … …”

　　In our reporter’s survey of 121 enterprises in Chengdu and Mianyang, Sichuan Province, Zhengzhou and Luoyang, Henan Province, and Hangzhou and Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, enterprises generally reflect that in recent years, the state has introduced some policies and measures to support and encourage enterprises to undertake national projects, but many enterprises still have many obstacles when applying. They appealed that enterprises should be given enough trust, the funds of national projects should be put into practice, and the utilization efficiency of scientific and technological resources should be improved.

　　Project application "emphasizing name over strength"

　　Some government departments do not trust enterprises, especially private enterprises.

　　■ When an enterprise applies for a project, the evaluation expert carefully digs the sentence and format of the application materials until the project is dragged down.

　　This year, Zhang Yue (a pseudonym), the marketing director of a private enterprise in Zhejiang, is going to apply for the project of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology for the third time. Based on the consideration of further improving the technical level, the company applied for intelligent manufacturing related projects of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology twice in the first half of 2016. At the beginning, Zhang Yue was full of confidence: "The project we applied for is closely related to our own business, and the company has rich application experience in this field. It has made service plans for more than 150 customers, which is one of the best in the industry. Moreover, the company is one of the key recommended enterprises when it is judged in the province, and its strength is definitely no problem. "

　　The results of the selection were not as expected by Zhang Yue. When the project was announced, she found that most of the selected research institutes had the background of central enterprises. Zhang Yue told reporters that she had called the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to inquire about the shortcomings of the enterprise so that it could be improved next time. The reply was often "there are many experts, and the opinions of the evaluation may be different". "There are many departments involved in the project, and it is not clear where it failed".

　　"In this way, we don’t know where to start if we want to improve." Zhang Yue said that although the company intends to continue to apply, it has experienced several previous failures and always feels lacking in confidence.

　　Similar to this situation, it is difficult for many powerful enterprises to realize their desire to take science and technology projects to a higher level. A private manufacturing enterprise engaged in automobile-related industries in Zhejiang Province invests a lot of money in product innovation and upgrading every year. In 2015, the enterprise applied for a national project to improve its industrial basic capacity and could enjoy a loan with relatively low interest rate. To the regret of Wan Fang (pseudonym), the chief executive officer of the enterprise, the government, banks and other supporting units and enterprises have been busy for quite a while, and finally "draw water with a sieve".

　　"After the project was approved, we submitted the materials to the lending bank, but because the handling department did not understand the private enterprises, there were many concerns. The project approver invited an expert to make a third-party evaluation. This expert made comments from the feasibility study report, and was very careful about the sentence and format of the materials. After repeated revisions, it exceeded the planned time. " Wan Fang said, we understand the expert’s caution, but this expert may not know the market operation mode of the automobile industry, because unfamiliarity with each other increases the communication cost between the two sides. "For example, experts ask us what to do if the project is unsuccessful? In fact, for the automobile industry, the project we reported must be an industrialized project. Because enterprises that cannot be put into production have to pay the bill, there must be a market to apply for the project. "

　　More unfortunately, in August 2016, the state introduced a new policy, and this kind of project loans need to implement the benchmark interest rate, which has no practical significance for enterprises to reduce financial costs, so the project ran aground.

　　Enterprises generally reflect that some government departments don’t know enough about enterprises, especially private enterprises, and they don’t trust enough, and it is often these innovative start-up private enterprises that need the most support. "It doesn’t matter if the project is given to universities, research institutes and central enterprises, even if it is wrong, but it is more cautious to allocate the project to enterprises, especially private enterprises." Some entrepreneurs said.

　　A person in charge of an enterprise said that at present, some national-level projects require enterprises to jointly apply with universities and colleges, with the original intention of using the resources of universities and colleges to provide technical support for enterprises. But in fact, many colleges and universities are not as good as enterprises in developing new technologies and products.

　　Many business leaders call for equal treatment of colleges and universities, large enterprises and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises in national project evaluation, and should focus on the technical level and matching degree, rather than weighing the nature and size of institutions.

　　"Radish" applies for "tailor-made"

　　Expert opinions from enterprises are often ignored.

　　■ Some project guides even list the number, brand and model of computers. As long as they are released, they are dishes in people’s bowls.

　　"The application guide is written like this, and these conditions are set. People with a clear eye in the industry will know who these projects are for at a glance, and the projects have been divided when the guide is released." Speaking of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" major new drug project released in a certain year, the person in charge of a biomedical enterprise in Chengdu is a little depressed.

　　The person in charge said that the national strategy originally only pointed out the direction, but some guidelines set some unnecessary conditions, and even the target of making drugs was obvious, which was almost equivalent to the "radish" application. "It’s like buying a computer. First, you have to specify what brand you want, then you have to specify 13 inches, and at the same time you need red. These conditions are basically exclusive, and there are only a few that meet the requirements."

　　What surprised the person in charge even more was that some of the projects that won major special projects were not innovative drugs at all, and some pharmaceutical companies had no innovative ability, and in theory they were not even qualified to participate in major special projects. He also mentioned that a national research institute accounted for nearly one-third of the national major new drug projects in a certain year. "This study all senior academicians, research level is very severe. But in this industry, I know each other’s level, and our level is not worse than theirs. "

　　The "routine" of the project guide is not unique in the biomedical field. In the survey, some enterprises reported that the terms of many project application guidelines were "tailor-made" for some colleges and universities or some enterprises related to them. "Some project guides even list the number, brand and model of computers. As long as they are released, they will be dishes in people’s bowls." A person in charge of the company said.

　　Enterprises also report that when some departments prepare the project application outline and catalogue, most of the time they only discuss it among experts and professors, and rarely consider the demands of enterprises, and the proportion of experts from enterprises is also very small. Because they don’t understand the market, some countries are far away from the market when they set up their projects, and even have fallen behind the market. During a project exchange, a technical backbone of an enterprise discovered that a national project on machine tools was ready for research and development, and it was planned to introduce foreign advanced technologies and concepts. In fact, this company has developed similar products long ago, and it is far better than the project to be established.

　　"This is a huge waste of scientific and technological resources, which really makes people laugh and cry." The technical backbone said.

　　Calvin (pseudonym), the chief engineer in an enterprise, is an authoritative expert in the field of machine tools in China. He has participated in the guide discussion and project review in related fields, but he soon found himself speechless and his opinions have no weight. "Some management departments don’t seem to want experts from enterprises to participate. Some invited experts are not experts in sub-fields, and they often write ‘ Stereotyped writing ’ Materials, even say some ‘ Reach the world advanced level ’ If it is not realistic, the real experts of these words dare not say it easily. "

　　Many enterprises suggest that it is necessary to fully absorb the participation of scientific and technological backbones of enterprises in the formulation of scientific and technological plans and project application, so that enterprises can have full voice to better connect with the market and avoid the waste of scientific and technological resources.

　　"Red Top Intermediary" took the opportunity to make a profit

　　The newspaper materials just according to the declaration guidelines are often not evaluated.

　　■ An intermediary agency said to the enterprise: "We guarantee that it can be evaluated! The condition is that 30% of the project funds will be collected as ‘ Consulting fee ’ "

　　Applying for high-level national projects has always been the wish of Henan Xintian Technology. Over the years, enterprises have been trying to declare major projects of the Ministry of Science and Technology, but they have been defeated repeatedly and never succeeded. In 2016, an intermediary agency took the initiative to find a company, and the other party said: "We will sort out the materials and declare them through us to ensure that we can evaluate them! The condition is that 30% of the project funds will be collected as ‘ Consulting fee ’ 。”

　　"This is not standardized. How dare our company do it? Moreover, 30% of the project funds will be taken away, and the enterprise may have to pay money after the project is completed. " Liu Chang, director of Xintian Technology, told reporters.

　　Like Xintian Technology, many entrepreneurs said that they often met intermediaries under the banner of consulting services during the application process. The reason why these intermediaries have living space is that many enterprises have difficulty in applying for projects, and they have resources to help smooth the relationship.

　　A person in charge of an enterprise in Sichuan said: "All projects have a declaration guide, but if you look closely at this guide, you will find that only 20% of what should be said & mdash; 30%, if you only report the materials according to the guide, you will definitely not be evaluated. Only by consulting the intermediary can we find out clearly and write materials that meet the requirements, and ‘ Consulting fee ’ It is about 30% of the project funds & mdash; 40%。”

　　"Enterprises to apply for national science and technology projects, if you don’t know how to evaluate the project and what is the key, you can’t apply at all, which is actually a kind of ‘ Unspoken rules ’ 。” Hai Jie, assistant general manager of Chengdu Zhenxin Technology, said that some small start-up enterprises or overseas startups may have technology, but they are unfamiliar with the environment and have no industry resources, so they need to consult in all aspects. However, some information governments can’t provide consultation, and enterprises sometimes have to go to third parties such as organizations affiliated to trade associations for consultation. This third party often plays the role of "intermediary".

　　Unbalanced distribution of resources

　　The proportion of enterprises that are not in first-tier cities or coastal developed areas receiving project support is low.

　　■ Project review experts have almost become "brothers". You take some this year and I will take some next year. It is always those people and enterprises who get the project.

　　In the survey, enterprises in Sichuan and Henan generally reflect that the distribution of scientific and technological resources in China is not balanced enough, and the proportion of enterprises that are not in first-tier cities or coastal developed areas receiving project support is low. Taking the biomedical field as an example, an entrepreneur in Chengdu told reporters that in recent years, Beijing and Shanghai have received almost the majority of biomedical research projects.

　　"The relevant departments mainly invite experts from Beijing in the review of biomedical science and technology projects, and it has long been ‘ Brothers ’ 。” The entrepreneur told the reporter that every time he participated in the defense of the major new drug special application of the Ministry of Science and Technology and the National Development and Reform Commission, although the defense effect was very good, because people in the "circle" were not familiar with the situation in the west, they had to do a lot to get a share.

　　The entrepreneur said that the "brothers" are very familiar with each other, and they basically greeted each other before the review. You take some this year, I will take some next year, and the cake will be cut and cut. "It’s always those people and enterprises who get the project, who are dying and starving to death."

　　In order to optimize the allocation of scientific and technological resources, enterprises believe that the evaluation of scientific and technological projects should be based on strength. At the same time, we should give consideration to fairness and encourage innovation. We can try to set the corresponding proportion in different cities. The proportion in first-tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai is higher, but some relatively remote cities should also have a certain proportion. "Science and technology resources can’t always be concentrated in a certain region and a few systems."

Freehand brushwork China explores the origin of Chinese characters. The ＂ancestor of Chinese characters＂ is actually a special holiday commemoration of his United Nations.

2025年5月7日 | admin | A1

　　Cctv news(Reporter Wei Junhao) As one of the oldest characters in the world, how did Chinese characters come into being? On February 19th, "Freehand brushwork in China — — Exploring the Origin of Chinese Characters "The online theme propaganda interview group went into Nanle County, Puyang City, Henan Province, to explore the origin of Chinese characters and feel the profound Chinese culture.

　　Cang Xie Cultural Museum in Nanle County, located in Shiguan Village, Liangcun Township, 20 kilometers northwest of Nanle County, has Cangjie Ling and Cangjie Temple, which was specially built to commemorate Cang Xie.

　　According to relevant records, Cang Xie was the official historian of Xuanyuan Huangdi. "Before there were no words, the tribes at that time mainly made notes by knotting knots, memorabilia and small things. With the expansion of the Yellow Emperor tribe, Cang Xie couldn’t remember what happened in big things and what happened in small things, and needed a new method of keeping notes urgently. Since then, Cang Xie has watched the changes of the sun, the moon and the stars, and watched the changes of the forms of all things, invented our oldest pictograph, and opened a new chapter in Chinese culture. " Pang Xingang, a lecturer at the Cang Xie Cultural Museum, explained.

　　"Cang Xie created many words in his life, but now there are only 28 words left." Pang Xingang said that these 28 words are pronounced as: "Wu Si A and B, who are friends in the first place, stop in the world, and have a glorious reputation. They are home to each other, respected by Chishui and attacked by Ge Mao." Under the leadership of Emperor Xuanyuan, he defeated Chiyou, United all tribes, lived and worked in peace and contentment in the Yellow River valley, and agricultural civilization began.

　　With the general form of Chinese characters, the characters made in Cang Xie gradually made them easier to remember and write, and gradually evolved from simple symbolic forms into modern Chinese characters that we are familiar with. The creation of characters by Cangjie is of great significance to the evolution of China characters and the development of China culture. He is also known as "the ancestor of Chinese characters", "the father of the three religions" and "the Sect of All Saints".

　　In 2010, the United Nations designated "Grain Rain" in the 24th solar terms of the lunar calendar as Chinese Day to commemorate the contribution of Cangjie, the ancestor of Chinese characters.

　　Although Cang Xie has been buried under the loess of Nanle, the Chinese characters he created are timeless and have become the most meaningful and profound human language.

Exclusive! An exclusive interview with Global Times by American historians： The United States is carrying out a secret biological weapons project.

2025年5月5日 | admin | C3

　　American historian Jeffrey Kay

　　[Global Times reporter Yu Jincui] What did the Fort Detrick military base and more than 300 biological laboratories located in nearly 30 countries such as Ukraine do? Jeffrey Kay, an American historian, said in an exclusive interview with the Global Times reporter recently, "I think the United States is carrying out a secret biological weapons project." Jeffrey Kay has long devoted himself to studying the black history of American germ warfare in the Korean War. Before retiring, he opened a psychological clinic in San Francisco to help people who were abused by the CIA. He is the author of "The Cover-up of Guantá namo Bay", which exposes the evils of torture in the United States. He told reporters that the documents published by the United States in recent years have "really hammered" the use of biological weapons by the United States in the Korean War. Moreover, as the only country that has used nuclear weapons, chemical weapons and biological weapons in many wars, the United States still shows a dangerous tendency to continue to use related weapons, which worries the world. More importantly, the US government has been trying to cover up the truth, doing whatever it wants, and opposing the establishment of a verification mechanism in the Biological Weapons Convention. What the international community needs to do is to urge the United States to disclose more information and form an investigation team with high-level authorities.

　　"The U.S. military used biological weapons that were highly similar to the 731 troops of the Japanese invaders in the Korean War."

　　Global Times: You have long studied the historical data of the germ warfare carried out by the United States in the Korean War, and called the documents related to the germ warfare published by the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) "the last piece in the puzzle that can prove that the United States carried out the germ warfare." What did you find after consulting the declassified documents of the CIA? Why is there enough evidence to prove that the United States carried out germ warfare during the Korean War?

　　Jeffrey Kay: We can be 100% sure that the United States engaged in germ warfare during the Korean War. This is based on the evidence provided by hundreds of witnesses to different investigators over the years, the uncensored documents available to the US Department of Defense, the contact records between the Korean People’s Army and Chinese people’s Volunteer Army intercepted by the US during the Korean War, and some recent statements by officers of the US Air Force and Marine Corps about germ warfare.

　　In 2010, the 60th anniversary of the Korean War, the CIA decided to declassify some highly confidential documents. I found that there were more than 20 internal reports of the Chinese and North Korean armed forces that were hit by American germ warfare. These documents were intercepted by the US security department for translation and analysis. From these documents, I found that many Chinese and North Korean troops reported to their commanders that they were attacked by bacterial weapons, such as DDT was needed to help kill infected insects, the supply was destroyed, and attack force could not move because of biological weapons. These real-time contact records obtained by the United States prove the occurrence of bacterial attacks.

　　Global Times: Referring to the use of biological weapons by the United States during the Korean War, we would like to know why it was not until recent years that American war crimes were confirmed by documents decrypted by the CIA.

　　Jeffrey Kay: In the United States, a lot of information about the Korean War is confidential, and some of it has not been released yet. It was only recently that I was shocked to find that during the Cold War, from 1951 to 1965, the US Customs and other departments intercepted a large number of materials from the Soviet Union, China, North Korea and Eastern European countries, including the fact that the United States used biological weapons in the Korean War. However, the United States declared that "these are political propaganda of relevant countries" and destroyed the materials.

　　Global Times: At the end of World War II, the United States stepped up its efforts to improve bacterial weapons and hooked up with demons like the 731 troops of the Japanese invaders. The biological laboratory in Fort Detrick, USA, is inextricably linked with the 731 troops of the Japanese invaders. Shiro Ishii, the head of the heinous 731 troops, was a biological weapons consultant in Fort De. You think that the biological weapons used by the United States in the Korean War may be related to the Japanese Army Unit 731, and suggest that the international community should form an investigation team to investigate this. Why is it so difficult to push the investigation? Where is the resistance?

　　The Cover-up of Guantanamo by American historian Jeffrey Kay

　　Jeffrey Kay: The biological weapons used by the U.S. military in germ warfare are highly similar to those studied by the Japanese Army Unit 731. I don’t know if they are exactly the same, because many documents are confidential. But for anyone who knows this history, it is very possible that the two are related. The US Army Chemical Corps is mainly responsible for the US biological warfare plan. In an internal document in 1953, the Corps mentioned North Korea’s "limited war" and how to use biological weapons as a "temporary policy" in order to improve short-term combat effectiveness. I think these "temporary policy weapons" are the types of weapons adopted by Japanese 731 troops, such as feather bombs (infecting birds’ feathers with viruses) and insect weapons used in China. After the United States signed an agreement with Japanese Army 731 and Ishii Shiro, the Korean battlefield actually became a large-scale experimental site for the biological weapons heritage that the United States "inherited" from Japan.

　　As for why it is so difficult to promote the investigation of the United States, or why it is so difficult to make people interested in this matter, part of the reason is the legacy of the Cold War. The American government and other western governments are very hostile to anyone who exposes their crimes. We can look at what happened to julian assange. Assange exposed American war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan, and ended up in a British prison today, struggling to refuse extradition to the United States. I don’t know how to explain it. This is shocking. To a great extent, the United States is like a totalitarian government that has infiltrated control into academia and the media. Some people worry that if they promote the information on the public use of biological weapons in the United States or call for an investigation, their careers will be ruined. So, they said nothing. People are afraid to take action. I have seen this scene many times, which is very sad.

　　"The United States dares not announce the truth about the global biological laboratory"

　　Global Times: In recent years, the international community has questioned the Fort Detrick biological laboratory in the United States and a large number of biological laboratories in the United States around the world, especially in the Russian periphery (CIS countries). Strange biological virus disasters have occurred in many countries such as Kazakhstan, and calls for the United States to make the truth of these laboratories public have come and gone. Does what the United States has done conform to the provisions of the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC)? Are you worried about the practice of the United States to set up more than 300 biological laboratories around the world?

　　Jeffrey Kay: Yes, many people are worried that the United States and possibly some other countries are violating the Biological Weapons Convention. There are many secrets in these laboratories — — After the escalation of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the relevant documents of Ukrainian laboratories were destroyed, taken away or removed. The U.S. government may say that their overseas biological laboratories are mainly to cooperate with other countries to monitor existing biological threats, including biological weapons attacks from nature and possibly from other countries. But in fact, everyone who has a deep understanding or even a little knowledge of the biological weapons programs of the United States and other countries knows that there is usually only a very fine line between whether the research is for the purpose of defense, such as monitoring biological pathogens, or for the purpose of attack. In fact, when I studied the Korean War, I found that more than one biological weapon research was confirmed under the banner of "defensive biological weapon research". As early as 1948, the chairman of the Advisory Committee of the US Army Chemical Corps once said: "The offensive application of using insects as a medium to deliver biological agents is called ‘ Control insects ’ The defensive research institute covers it up. "

　　We can’t say exactly what the United States is hiding now, but we do know what the United States has been opposed to. For a long time, the United States has opposed the establishment of the verification mechanism of the Biological Weapons Convention, which has led to the "toothless" international convention, and the United States can do whatever it wants without being censored.

　　Global Times launched a joint signature campaign in August last year.

　　Global Times: The U.S. government recently sent out confusing and contradictory information about the Ukrainian biological laboratory. What do you think the U.S. biological laboratory is doing in Ukraine? Why has the United States repeatedly rejected the request of the international community to investigate its overseas biological laboratories? What are they worried about or afraid of?

　　Jeffrey Kay: The United States needs to disclose relevant documents that can explain what these laboratories are doing. But the problem is, they won’t do it. I think the United States also needs to disclose the whole truth about the biological warfare program 70 or 80 years ago, because unless you understand the history and secrets of the biological warfare program in the United States and the relationship between the biological warfare program and the CIA and academia, you can really understand what these laboratories are doing. But now, all you hear in America is bad words about Russia, because Russia accuses the United States of using birds to spread biological pathogens. The United States has been planning to study the bird migration model and pathogens for a long time, especially in the 1960s and 1970s, and reported it to Fort Detrick as part of the biological warfare plan. What the United States needs to do now is to disclose all the files. We need to decrypt documents dating back to the end of World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War, so that we can understand what the United States has done in hundreds of biological laboratories. But they dare not do so because they are afraid that once they do so, it will be proved that the United States has violated the Biological Weapons Convention. As early as the late 1940s, the US government decided to keep all its ongoing biological weapons research highly confidential, and this confidentiality has continued to this day. I’m still trying to collect information, but I think a secret biological weapons project is going on.

　　"The United States has a dangerous tendency to use these weapons again."

　　Global Times: Let’s talk about Fort Detrick again. You once said, "Fort Detrick was and still is the research center of American biological warfare. As early as the 1950s, they cooperated closely with the CIA and established in Fort Detrick ‘ Special Operations Department ’ Specializing in the manufacture of biological weapons. " You have also noticed that many biological weapons researchers in Fort Detrick died suddenly after the U.S. military carried out the germ warfare in the Korean War, but the U.S. military never announced the investigation on this matter. Why do Americans keep silent about this?

　　Armed soldiers stand guard outside the US Army Institute of Infectious Diseases Medicine in Fort Detrick.

　　Jeffrey Kay: The American public is silent because they don’t really understand what happened in Fort Detrick. The American public is told lies, or they just don’t want to know — — It is the basic psychology of human beings to always believe that the government is good and has not done bad things or committed terrible crimes. This is a kind of blind obedience, which American culture has always encouraged. For many years, Fort Detrick has been the center of American biological warfare research. Other regions and places, such as the Dagway proving ground in Utah, are also related to the American biological weapons experimental program, and now these overseas laboratories are added. Everything in Fort Detrick is kept secret. This culture of secrecy has lasted for generations, and the whole American political culture is strengthening it, which is hard to break.

　　Exclusive interview with Global Times

　　Global Times: From the perspective of the Korean War, the germ warfare in the United States has been "hammered". With such a black history and the constant discovery of various evidences, how can the international community conduct an in-depth investigation of American biological laboratories around the world? What do you suggest?

　　Jeffrey Kay: First, we need to expose more information. If people don’t know the information, they won’t take action or put pressure on the US government. There is no reason to hide what happened decades ago, unless it would be embarrassing to expose the war crimes that happened at that time. All information related to the Korean War and the Vietnam War should be made public. Japan denies that the 731 troops used germ warfare, which is very bad. America is almost as bad. The United States (in the past) did not admit that it had used chemical and biological weapons, and for many years it has been covering up its alliance with the Japanese germ warfare forces. Therefore, we need to expose them and investigate these war crimes. As far as I know, China invited scientists to China in 1952 to investigate the use of bacteriological warfare by the United States in northeast China during the Korean War. They set up an international investigation team on bacteriological warfare, including famous scientists from all over the world. The investigation team was led by Joseph Needham, a famous British scientist. We need this level of authority to participate in the survey, so that the world can believe the results of the survey. What we need now is to ask the United States to disclose relevant information.

　　Exclusive interview with Global Times

　　Global Times: The United States used nuclear weapons against Japan in World War II, biological weapons in the Korean War and chemical weapons such as Agent Orange in the Vietnam War. It can be said that the United States is the only country that used these three weapons of mass destruction in actual combat. As a historian, how do you define these behaviors in the United States?

　　Jeffrey Kay: As far as modern and contemporary history is concerned, it is first known that Germany attacked enemy livestock, such as horses and sheep, with slugs and pathogens during World War I. Japan was the first country to use chemical and biological weapons against human beings on a large scale. From the late 1930s to the 1940s, Japan used bacteria as a weapon through the invasion of China by Japanese Army 731 and related military units. Later, the US government also used biological weapons during the Korean War. The United States has also been accused of using biological weapons in Cuba and East Germany.

　　Obviously, whether using biological weapons against North Korea, China, Cuba and other countries, or using chemical weapons against Vietnam, these are all crimes. Although I am mainly committed to exposing the crime of using biological weapons in the United States, other weapons are equally terrible and dangerous. The United States has shown a dangerous tendency to use these weapons, and many people in the world are worried that the United States will use them again.
