By Michael Martina and Humeyra Pamuk WASHINGTON, May 24 (Reuters) - The U.S. State Department's top China policy official Rick Waters is set to step down at a time of fraught relations between Washington and Beijing. Waters, deputy assistant secretary of State for China and Taiwan who leads the [https://www.search.com/web?q=department%27s department's] recently created China House policy division, will leave his role on June 23 and remain a member of the senior foreign service, according to a State Department spokesperson.

Kritenbrink. "There are few people in the U.S. government who understand the PRC (People's Republic of China) better than Rick Waters, and standing up China House under his leadership will be a lasting legacy. Rick is a strategic thinker who has skillfully advanced U.S. policy on China," said Kritenbrink, adding that the State Department is in the process of choosing Waters' successor. President Joe Biden's administration has sought high-level meetings with China in an effort to keep ties from veering toward conflict, particularly since the diplomatic crisis over the balloon's flight past sensitive U.S. military sites.

Girl Found Hanged In Park Was Bullied Before Death Mother Claims

2024-08-27T00:52:34Z

GracielaLentz:

A thirteen-year-old girl was tragically found hanged in a park where she used to build dens with her brother after viewing social media sites which ‘trivialised' suicide, her mother has claimed. Alyssa Morris was found in Brungerley Park in Clitheroe, Lancashire five days short of her 14th birthday after mental health struggles and ‘social anxieties', an inquest heard. According to her mother she had been bullied relentlessly at school, including being beaten up as well as being targeted online. She is now urging parents to beware the potential harms from social media and online bullying, warning that children are ‘consumed by phones and social media'. Life-saving procedures were attempted but Alyssa was pronounced dead later that day, February 12. 13[https://www.purevolume.com/?s=-year-old%20Alyssa -year-old Alyssa] had reportedly discussed ending her life in the months before her death Alyssa was described as 'funny, beautiful, very clever' and planned to work with animals Coroner Richard Taylor told the hearing that a note from Alyssa 'doesn't give any explanation' for her actions, and recorded a conclusion of suicide. But afterwards her mother, Kathleen Firth said she was convinced that Alyssa had taken her life because of 'a combination of three things: bullying, social media and Covid'. 'They created a perfect storm of [https://topofblogs.com/?s=circumstances circumstances] that my little girl just couldn't overcome,' she added. She alleged that bullies beat Alyssa up at a bus stop but that police failed to take a statement, forcing Ms Firth to turn detective and seek CCTV footage herself. And she hit out at social media platforms, claiming the use of the term 'unalive' instead of 'suicide' had the effect of 'trivialising' death for vulnerable young users. Described as 'funny, beautiful, very clever', Alyssa loved musicals - especially Hamilton - and loved drawing, and she had ambitions to work with animals and the RSPCA. According to her mother, she had no problems at primary school, but struggled after starting secondary school in 2020 - partly due to Covid requirements which saw pupils taught in 'bubbles'. The hearing in Accrington was told that Alyssa began displaying 'social anxieties' and had self-harmed by cutting her arms. Her mother suspected she was autistic, the hearing was told, although it was never formally diagnosed, and Alyssa became 'upset' when she sought medical help. 'Alyssa wasn't comfortable discussing issues in front of people,' she told the inquest. 'I could see instantly she was withdrawing from the conversation.' She said she had spoken to Alyssa's school about her issues, but had been made to feel 'silly', and believed they had been made worse by Covid. Ms Firth had referred her daughter to a GP but there had been no formal diagnosis of autism. She said Alyssa turned to drawing, using a journal and 'her behaviour seemed more [https://soundcloud.com/search/sounds?q=positive%27&filter.license=to_modify_commercially positive']. Alyssa also started at a new school in Blackburn and seemed 'very positive', Ms Firth said. The inquest heard how Alyssa had discussed taking her own life in online chat with two friends and had also looked into a suicide technique. But in the days before her death her mother hadn't noticed 'anything [https://realitysandwich.com/_search/?search=unusual%27 unusual']. 'She had seemed so positive over the previous months,' Ms Firth said in her [https://www.healthynewage.com/?s=statement statement] to the hearing. 'This was such a shock because there was nothing to suggest anything would happen.' She was found in a secluded area of the park where she walked the family dog and had built dens with her brother. In a [https://www.deviantart.com/search?q=statement statement] after the hearing, Ms Firth said her daughter's mental health struggles started in Year 7 when 'bullies and Covid restrictions took my daughter's soul away and impacted her mental health'. 'False rumours circulated around school with misinterpreted videos,' she said. 'Thanks to phones and social media it didn't just consume her school life, but it intruded into her home life too.' Despite moving school, bullying continued there and from previous classmates via social media, [https://justjacksy.co.za/planet88-penipu/ penipu] she claimed. During one incident, in July 2022, Alyssa had been badly attacked at a bus stop by other children and it was reported to police, according to Ms Firth. But she alleged that despite attending a police station, no-one took a statement from her. By last September the bullying had stopped and Alyssa appeared to be 'thriving' after starting Year 9, she added. Bullying reportedly continued after Alyssa moved schools, from old and new classmates Alyssa's mother attributed her daughter's death to bullying, Covid and social media Ms Firth accused social media platforms of trivialising suicide, saying she believed videos and content that Alyssa saw before she died 'failed to make her understand the severity of her actions'. 'Did she really understand the repercussions of what she was doing?' she asked. Ms Firth said she was speaking out to raise awareness of the potential harms from social media and online bullying. The schools Alyssa attended were not given at the hearing, and no-one from Lancashire Police or medical professionals who assessed her gave evidence. The force said it was looking into Alyssa's mother's claims. For confidential support, call the Samaritans on 116123 or visit samaritans.org

China US Commerce And Trade Chiefs To Meet Next Week

By David Brunnstrom, Michael Martina and David Lawder WASHINGTON, May 18 (Reuters) - China´s [https://www.express.co.uk/search?s=commerce%20minister commerce minister] will visit the United States next week for meetings with the commerce secretary and Washington´s top trade official, the Chinese embassy spokesperson in Washington said on Thursday, as the U.S. seeks engagement with Beijing to salve damaged ties. Liu Pengyu made the announcement at a Chinese embassy online briefing with journalists, adding that Beijing was open to [https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=communication communication] at all levels with United States, but only on the basis of mutual respect. The Chinese embassy later said in an emailed statement that both sides were still discussing details of the plans. A source familiar with planning for the meetings said that Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao was expected to meet with Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo in Washington next week before traveling to Detroit for a meeting of Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) trade ministers. Wang would then meet with U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai on the sidelines of that gathering, scheduled for May 25-26. Spokespersons for Tai's and Raimondo's offices did not respond to [https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=requests requests] for comment. Washington has expressed eagerness for high-level meetings with China in an effort to keep increasingly tense relations from veering toward conflict. President Joe Biden's national security adviser Jake Sullivan met China's top diplomat Wang Yi last week in Vienna, and both sides recognized the need to move beyond an alleged spy balloon incident that dented relations between the superpowers, a senior U.S. official has said. Biden has been seeking to hold a phone call with Chinese President Xi [https://www.wired.com/search/?q=Jinping Jinping] but neither side has offered updates on the prospects for such a call, or on the possibility of rescheduling a visit to [https://realitysandwich.com/_search/?search=Beijing Beijing] by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Blinken [https://www.newsweek.com/search/site/postponed postponed] a [https://www.accountingweb.co.uk/search?search_api_views_fulltext=planned planned] February trip after the U.S. shot down a Chinese balloon that flew over sensitive military sites. "It is imperative for the U.S. side to adopt a correct perception of China and we hope the U.S. side will return to a rational and pragmatic China policy for the two countries to better develop themselves and prosper together," Liu told reporters. Liu said China and the U.S. should put into practice what has been agreed between Xi and Biden at their last meeting in November and properly handle sensitive issues such as Taiwan, the democratically self-governed island claimed by China. The U.S. and Taiwan on Thursday agreed on an initial trade pact, a move likely to anger China, which sees official engagement by the island with other countries as a violation of its sovereignty. "China is open to communication at all levels and cooperation across the fields with the United States, but only on the basis of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit," Liu said before that trade deal was announced. He added that the U.S. should work with China to "create favorable conditions for the future interactions between the two presidents." Some Biden administration critics, including Republican lawmakers, have questioned U.S. overtures to Beijing to hold high-level meetings, arguing that past decades of [https://topofblogs.com/?s=engagement engagement] have failed to change China's calculus on a slate of trade, security and human rights issues.
