2.TESLA NO LONGER ACCEPTING BITCOIN OVER CLIMATE CONCERNS

Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk announced via socialmedia yesterday that Tesla has stopped accepting bitcoin due to theenvironmental burden caused by the energy consumption of bitcoin mining.

But he also said Tesla would not sell itsbitcoin.

3.CHINA’S UN MISSION REBUKES VIRTUAL EVENT ON XINJIANG

A spokesperson of China’s Permanent Missionto the United Nations expressed firm opposition to a side event yesterday onthe so-called human rights situation in Xinjiang. The event was organized bythe U.S., U.K. and Germany as well as several other countries andnon-governmental organizations. Zhang Hong tells us more.

The spokesperson said while the U.S. andsome other countries talked about human rights in Xinjiang, they are actuallythinking about ways of using Xinjiang to contain China. They make a presumptionof guilt and then fabricate so-called evidence. The spokesperson pointed outthat China is among the safest countries in the world. All crimes are punishedin accordance with law.

郭嘉昆，中国外交官

Xinjiang is always open. Over 1,200diplomats, journalists, scholars from more than 100 countries have visitedXinjiang in past years. We welcome everyone to visit Xinjiang, but we opposeany kind of investigation based on lies and the presumption of guilt.

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Hua Chunyingalso responded to the event today.

Hua Chunying, Spokesperson

华春莹，中国外交部发言人

The U.S., Britain, Germany and a few othercountries always try to preach to others on human rights as"lecturers", while they themselves have a deplorable record. All thefalse accusations they make against China are in fact a reflection of their owncrimes and egregious behaviors in history and dark psychology.

这几个国家总是试图要充当人权的"教师爷"，如果他们真的关心人权，为什么他们不邀请真正的新疆的民众去参加？为什么不对本国存在的严重种族歧视政策和行为进行深刻的反思并切实地改正？如果他们真的关心人权，应该立即停止在海外军事行动中滥杀无辜，立即确保疫苗在全球的公平分配。

Hua said the conference was full of liesand disinformation, and such a farce has also been resolutely resisted by themajority of UN member states.
