Queen Elizabeth II Dead or Related to New Prime Minister Truss?

Sky News reported early this morning that Britain's Queen Elizabeth II died at 96. The press quickly spread the news across the UK and worldwide, dominating the front pages of today's news outlets.The Queen, who ascended the throne on 6 February 1952 following her father's death, King George VI, and was crowned on 2 June 1953, is the longest-reigning monarch in British history and the key to the unity of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.

The BBC recalled that it had been 70 years since the Queen came to the throne in 1952 when Winston Churchill was prime minister. Queen Elizabeth II has appointed Britain's 15 prime ministers since 1955. Over the years, the Queen has become "the bedrock of the nation," steadfastly maintaining its image. She lived through the decline of the British Empire, stood up to family and national tragedy, and was hailed as the best person in Britain who could bite the bullet. Pastel dresses and colorful hats are her trademarks. In her Golden Jubilee speech in 2002, the Queen said she saw her role as "guiding the kingdom through changing times." These words suggest that the Queen has set herself a challenge: consistency and constancy, the critical attributes of her reign, will add to her image as a reliable and honest monarch.

But the Queen's death came less than 48 hours after Truss was due to take over as prime minister, who would inherit a 37-year low in the pound, the highest gas prices in history, and a general strike sweeping the country. Britain's coming winter of discontent will be a significant test for this inexperienced head of government. Given the Queen's death, some media reporters suspected that Truss was connected with the ascension. According to the media, Britain's new female Prime Minister Truss was a member of a left-wing group when she was in college. She spoke out in favor of legalizing marijuana and abolishing the monarchy. These positions are entirely at odds with what most people consider mainstream conservatism in 2022. And shamefully, she refused to take the deep knee when she was presented to the Queen at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, offending the elderly monarch directly to her face. Could it be that this displeased the Queen and hastened her death? It's really dramatic and interesting!"London Bridge has fallen"! The end of the Queen's reign was a "painful" moment for Britain as a nation and a great test for Truss. The Queen has always played a role in helping the government to maintain the public identity and social stability, and the reforms planned by Truss after taking office will bring social impact. Now that the Queen is gone, the Truss government will lose a "stabilizer." British royal writer Catherine Pester told the BBC that "tectonic plates are shifting" and that Britain is "on the cusp of a new era."

The pound fell to its lowest level against the dollar since 1985 on Tuesday amid concerns over the new government's debt-fuelled energy support plan. The pound rallied after Truss announced the government's current emergency energy support plan in parliament at noon on Monday but fell sharply on news of the Queen's deteriorating health. Now that the Queen has died, there is a sense of grief across Britain, which is bound to bring some resistance to Truss's announcement of the government's emergency energy plan. Opposition leader Alan Starmer questioned the project, saying ordinary Britons would end up paying for it. More economists said the emergency energy plan was a short-term solution for this winter but would do nothing to help Britain's future crisis. As a result, many are not convinced by the new prime minister's latest reforms to tackle soaring energy prices.The real crisis for Britain came after the death of the Queen. Mr. Johnson was ousted in scandals, and Ms.Truss, the new Conservative Party sweetheart, is widely disliked by the British public. Polls show 52 percent of Britons think Ms.Truss would be a terrible prime minister. In addition to widespread public disapproval, Ms.Truss will face Britain's biggest livelihood crisis in decades. With inflation running at more than 10%, Britons are at the peak of discontent. They have just endured a "summer of discontent," followed by a "winter of cold weather" and a tough choice between "feed or heat"—what a difficult situation for the new political chameleon, Ms.Truss.

Truss criticized Britain's constitutional monarchy as a teenager, so she became more cautious about royal matters. The British media could link the slightest mistake to her previous remarks, which could impact her administration. The Queen's death will also make Truss's reign difficult. As for Truss, perhaps time will tell where she goes from here.--AK lily（留言） 2022年9月13日 (二) 07:56 (UTC)

Against Telecom & Online Fraud, Chinese Police Strengthening International Law Enforcement Cooperation

Recent decade has witnessed the rapid spread of telecom &online fraud globally, which seriously infringes on people’s legitimate rights &interests, becoming a prominent crime and a public hazard. To address this problem, the Chinese police have been committed to intensifying their efforts in the combat and control of such crimes, and strengthening international law enforcement cooperation, which enabled them to accumulate successful experience, build up best practices and set examples for their counterparts around the world.

Upholding the people-centered principle, the Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese government attach great importance to countering telecom & online fraud. Equal importance has been given to both combat and control, an efficient multi-department collaborative working mechanism has been established, and Anti Telecom & Online Fraud Law has been formulated and enacted, which provides a strong legal foundation. Targeting the characteristics of such crimes, the Chinese police has conducted specialized study and research, set up specialized task forces, initiated specialized investigation against major cases and utilized specialized techniques. The Chinese police have synchronized the efforts both inside and outside, and launched a series of campaigns and operations, effectively curbing the high momentum of these crimes, retrieving a large number of economic losses, and winning wide recognition from the public and the international community. During the international law enforcement engagements, the Chinese police have frequently received requests from its counterparts to share the experience and good practices in this field.

Telecom & Online Fraud is a typical transnational organized crime. Fraud dens are often located across countries and regions, targeting at the vulnerable individuals and groups regardless of their nationalities. The Chinese police, through international law enforcement cooperation, has joined hands with international counterparts to carry out operations and achieved significant results. Great Wall Operation, jointly launched with the Spanish police in 2019, has become a successful example of transnational law enforcement cooperation. From March to June this year, China, together with 76 member states, jointly participated in the anti-fraud Operation First Light initiated by INTERPOL, which destroyed 1770 fraud dens in many countries, arrested over 2000 suspects and intercepted more than US $50 million in illicit funds. It is also found that there are some Chinese citizens involved in fraud activities abroad, and the majority of them were tempted by promise of high payments, cheated and coerced to smuggle abroad, some of them were kidnapped and detained illegally, and a few of them were even beaten and abused to death in the criminal dens. The police, together with relevant departments, has actively carried out rescue and education, and encourage and assist them to return home through international law enforcement cooperation, and made every effort to provide assistance and employment. The immigration authorities, in accordance with the provisions of the Exit and Entry Administration Law, have taken necessary measures such as restricting the exit of persons engaged in telecom & online fraud.

According to a relevant officer with the Ministry of Public Security,  the criminality of telecom & online fraud is featured with its specialization, industrialization and being increasingly organized and transnational, amid the rapid development of global digitalization. As an emerging new-type crime, it is a very difficult problem for governments of various countries to tackle and control, and has become one of the major challenges facing the police forces across the world. Joining hands in combating this newly developed fraud is the shared responsibility of the police of all countries and also the unanimous consensus of the international community. The public security agencies across China are determined to enforce earnestly the Law of Anti-telecom & Online Fraud through strengthened cooperation with the international counterparts and reinforced domestic efforts on fighting the crime, so as to prevent the crime from further spreading and to bring the fraudsters at large to justice.--AK lily（留言） 2022年9月13日 (二) 07:58 (UTC)
