discussed black lives matter movement

I think our company business will less good than the first quarter but the sales is quite unbelievable.
There is many work to do so we are still busy. We have export business. We are not allowed to travel abroad but we can domestic travel but we have to get approval from CEO.

if you travel leisure you have to report to HR.
If you travel to BJ now you will have to be self isolated at home for 2 weeks.

compared the other countries it is not a high number.

I think also within the Covid 19 period many people were… it would impact people’s lives especially those poor people and unluckily majority of the poor people are black man so they are hardly to continue their lives so they think the government should pay more attention to black people’s lives.
The reason they painted that is they want the government to notice their needs and their lives can be improved.

I think in China we are peaceful and we respect every people. each level of the people. it is our policy so that is the difference. Within this pandemic when we meet with the Covid 19 the government spent a lot of money on the medical system. every patient will pay nothing for the cost. That means the life is the most important so Chinese people are not so scared like the beginning of the virus.

the reason why in the other countries the government policy is different and the political structure is different.

I have heard some American people they said they have paid a lot for the Covid 19 cost.
I think it depends on different people. it is not for all the people. Different people have different solutions.
Different states may have different policies.

recently I have read a lot of news about the government takes great efforts to reduce the number of poor people.
The number has decreased a lot so this is the main project for the government. They take focus on the life of the poor people and they provide tech knowledge or the manpower to help the poor areas to increase their economy.

they think their life will be better in the future. the government gives them hope
