VIP Class Notes (Tibo) [S]

Discussed the riots at the capitol

I saw the news occurred some violations in the US.
For us it was hard to believe that so bad violation will be occurred in nowadays .
People set fire and attacked policemen, it is a very serious event.

They just want to support the president Trump.
I think for most parts of these events were Trump’s fault.
We all knew that Trump always says something angry or crazy opinions on media platforms.
Several media platforms already locked down his account. it is unbelievable because he is the president of the US and another problem it is because of the different politic strategy.
For China no government member will announce something through media platforms.
They have formal channels to release the news.
It is very crazy that the president of a country debates with others through social media platforms.

the election event needs a huge number of money and every candidate they have unpublic agreements with their supporters.
For Trump they definitely have support groups and now it is clear that he failed to win the elections so I think he cannot make agreements with his partners.

They are the operators of huge companies so they have to choose their benefit side

I heard some news that some people will modify sensible keywords

lots of people believe that Trump facilitated the violence event.

Before feeling disappointed my first feeling is I feel it is unbelievable . It is so developed country and lots of people in China working for American companies.
We communicate with our foreign colleagues very smooth and friendly so it is hard to imagine that they are so violent.
For Chinese people I think it is hard to them to use to so messed up situation.
I think for Chinese people they don’t pay much attention on politics because our structure is very stable.
People just pay attention to new policies which are released by the government but no one pays attention which one is the leader of some department.
The only one give some new year comments is XJP.
