中国国家男子足球队上周四在客场对阵日本，以0比7惨败。这场比赛不仅创下了国足在国际正式比赛中的最大比分差距，还刷新了世界杯预选赛的历史分差纪录。虽然过去26年里，中国队从未战胜过日本队，但这次的惨败尤其让球迷倍感震惊。
中国拥有14亿人口，还有庞大的足球迷群体，但男子足球的表现为何屡屡让人失望？网络上的嘲讽与调侃层出不穷。赢不了球的中国男足，难道真的成了大众的笑柄？
更有意思的是，中央电视台并未转播这场比赛。这背后究竟是单纯的经济原因、认为版权费太高，还是另有其他政治考量？
这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红与《联合早报》驻北京的记者于泽远详细解析这场比赛背后的舆论风波。

8月31日，台湾政坛第三势力领袖、民众党主席柯文哲被戴上手铐，并被指涉嫌收贿图利罪，震惊四方。经过两天的讯问后，柯文哲被台北市地方法院裁定无须支付保证金就能直接回家。
柯文哲形容自己 “在这两天当中，可以说是极尽压迫和凌虐”。
法院认为京华城获得容积奖励确实违法，但没有证据证明柯文哲“犯罪嫌疑重大”或者明知而违法，因此裁定他无保请回。
柯文哲平安落地了吗？台北市检察署认定柯文哲涉嫌收贿和图利，这次是否会被打脸？民众党是否成功逃过一劫？这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红和台湾文化大学广告系教授钮则勋深入解析柯文哲的政治危机。

韩咏红：柯文哲案对两岸关系的影响 【视频】柯文哲无保请回 法院：检方无法明确举证犯罪嫌疑重大After a marathon interrogation in a graft probe, Taiwan People's Party (TPP) leader Ko Wen-je, was released without bail, vehemently denying any wrongdoing in the case, which involves approvals given for the Jinghua City project during his time as Taipei mayor from 2014 to 2022. Upon his release, Ko addressed supporters, claiming he was subjected to extreme oppression and bullying. While the court determined that the changes to the Jinghua City project were unlawful, prosecutors failed to present sufficient evidence to prove Ko's direct involvement in illegal activities.
In this episode of Global Heartbeat podcast, host Han Yong Hong speaks with Niu Tse-hsun, professor and chair of the Chinese Culture University's advertising department to explore whether TPP has dodged a bullet or if a larger storm is brewing.

美国民主党一连四天的全国代表大会在当地时间8月22日落下帷幕。美国副总统哈里斯在五万名现场观众的欢呼声中，正式接受民主党提名，竞选美国总统。
在7月21日美国总统拜登宣布退选之前，哈里斯原本被认为是表现不佳的副总统。但她却在短短一个月内声势大涨，不但筹得创纪录的5亿4000万美元（约7亿新元）资金，她的民调支持率也迅速追平特朗普，重新点燃了民主党胜选的希望。
如果当选，哈里斯将成为美国历史上首位女性总统和首位有亚裔血统的总统。她的选举路上将会面临哪些挑战？她有机会打败特朗普吗？她是否有能力治国？
这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红和上海东亚研究所副所长包承柯解析哈里斯在竞选美国总统路上可能面临的挑战。

韩咏红：与谣言共舞的时代 伟达：美国大选走向与政治设计The recent Democratic National Convention marked a significant milestone for Vice President Kamala Harris as she accepted the nomination to run for President of the United States. This historic moment was met with enthusiasm, setting the stage for a potentially transformative election.
Harris, once perceived as an underperforming Vice President, has seen a remarkable turnaround in just one month. She has raised an unprecedented US$540 million (S$702.2 million) in campaign funds, signalling a strong wave of support and rekindling the Democratic Party's hopes for victory.
If elected, Harris would break multiple barriers as the first female President and the first President of Asian descent. Her candidacy brings forth numerous questions about the challenges she will face and the policies she intends to implement. The path to the presidency is fraught with obstacles, and her ability to govern effectively will be under intense scrutiny.
In this episode of Global Heartbeat podcast, host Han Yong Hong invites Bao Chengke, assistant director at the Institute for East Asian Studies in Shanghai to examine Harris‘ challenges ahead, and unpack what a Harris presidency could mean for the United States and the world.

台湾民众党主席、前台北市长柯文哲近期陷入从政以来最大的危机。
此前，柯文哲因台北市长任内涉及的京华城案和北士科案被列为被告。如今，他在去年竞选总统时的竞选总部又爆出一系列假账丑闻，其中包括漏报 2,000万新台币的政治献金以及96万元新台币的素食便当费用。
柯文哲的竞选总部大楼内有一家名为“木可”的公关公司，董事长是柯文哲竞选总部财务长、他的高中同学李文宗的妹妹。这引发外界质疑，木可公司是否充当了一个秘密的小金库。
政治分析人士认为，柯文哲不仅面临牢狱之灾，甚至民众党也有可能因此走向灭亡。柯文哲为何会陷入如此困境？他真的会被判刑吗？白色力量的危机又将如何影响台湾整体的政治版图？
这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红和台湾政治的文化大学广告系教授钮则勋深入解析柯文哲的政治危机。

经历了一番纷纷扰扰，2024年巴黎奥运在当地时间星期天落下帷幕。
全球运动员齐聚法国，一同经历了16天的拼搏、激情、欢笑与泪水。最终，金牌榜上出现了一个史无前例的成绩——中国和美国各自摘下40枚金牌，并列金牌榜第一名。
提出修昔底德陷阱的美国哈佛大学教授艾莉森上星期撰文指出，奥运会反映了中国作为美国最重要的地缘政治对手的几乎全方位的崛起。
巴黎奥运是当前全球地缘政治的折射吗？中美在巴黎奥运期间争议不休的禁药问题到底谁是谁非？这些争议会不会延续到2028年的洛杉矶奥运会？

【奥运会】中美金牌数持平 中国多点开花美国游泳优势削弱 杨丹旭：政治阴云笼罩巴黎奥运The 2024 Paris Olympics concluded amid a whirlwind of excitement and controversy. Athletes worldwide gathered in France for 16 days of intense competition.
In an unprecedented outcome, both China and the United States tied for the most gold medals, each winning 40. However, the United States led the overall medal count with 126, far ahead of China’s 91.
Harvard University’s Professor Graham Allison, who is the author of “Destined for War: Can America and China Escape Thucydides’s Trap”, noted that China's rise to become the leading rival of the United States in the Olympics mirrors its broader geopolitical ascent.

中国今年第二季度的经济增长只有4.7%，不但低于预期，也是五个季度以来的最低水平。
为了稳住经济，中共政治局7月30日召开会议，部署下半年经济工作要求、提振内需、培育壮大新兴产业和未来产业。会议上还出现了一个罕见要求，就是“强化行业自律，防止‘内卷式’恶性竞争”。
中国的企业现在有多“卷”？
这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红和辽宁大学特聘研究员陈波深入解析什么是“内卷式”恶性竞争？政治局一纸命令真的能有效防止“内卷”？

陈婧：政治局会议也谈“防内卷” 中国出台20条促消费 分析：电商、游戏、教培重获重视China’s economic growth slowed to a mere 4.7% in the second quarter of 2024, falling short of projections and marking the weakest performance in five consecutive quarters. To stabilise the economy, the Chinese Communist Party’s Politburo convened on July 30 to formulate economic strategies for the second half of the year. The meeting underscored the importance of stimulating domestic demand and nurturing the expansion of emerging and future industries.
Interestingly, the meeting also issued an uncommon directive, urging for greater industry self-discipline to curb what is termed as “involution-style” vicious competition.
"Involution," in this context, describes a pattern of excessive, often unproductive competition that traps businesses in a cycle of diminishing returns. This can manifest as a culture of extreme work with minimal gains in productivity and innovation.
How prevalent is this issue among Chinese enterprises, and can a top-down directive from the Politburo effectively mitigate this behaviour?
In this episode of Global Heartbeat podcast, host Han Yong Hong is joined by Chen Bo, a prominent researcher and Adjunct Professor of Economics at Liaoning University to analyse the effectiveness of the Politburo’s directive.

中国与俄罗斯的四架战略轰炸机，7月25日在美国阿拉斯加附近的白令海进行联合空中战略巡航。这是中国轰炸机首次飞抵阿拉斯加附近。美国和加拿大紧急出动战斗机，对中俄轰炸机进行跟踪、监视和拦截。
美国国防部长奥斯汀隔天在五角大楼的新闻发布会上说，中俄战机并没有进入美国领空，最靠近时距离美国海岸大约200英里。他也说这四架轰炸机并没有对美国和加拿大构成威胁。
北京和莫斯科从2019年开始组织战略轰炸机联合巡逻，这次是第八次，也是第一次抵近阿拉斯加。在美国总统拜登宣布退选后，美国提前进入看守政府状态，中国是否利用这个时机采取激进的战略行动？
这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红和联合早报驻北京的记者于泽远解析中俄战略轰炸机联合巡逻是要发出什么信号？
延伸阅读：
于泽远：中国轰炸机抵近阿拉斯加 王毅与俄外长会面 称中俄要坚定相互支持Last Wednesday, four Chinese and Russian bombers conducted a joint strategic air patrol over the Bering Sea, near Alaska. While Russian bombers frequently operate in this region, it was the first time Chinese bombers entered the Alaskan Air Defense Identification Zone. The bombers were promptly tracked and intercepted by US and Canadian fighter jets.
The following day at a Pentagon press conference, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin confirmed that the aircraft did not enter US airspace, maintaining a distance of about 200 miles (320 kilometres) from the US coast. He emphasised that these flights were not perceived as a threat.
Since 2019, Beijing and Moscow have been conducting joint strategic air patrols, and this was their eighth such mission. The significance of these joint drills raises several questions: What message are China and Russia attempting to convey?
With US President Biden's recent announcement that he will not seek re-election, is China capitalising on the perceived vulnerability of the US administration and seizing this opportunity to engage in more aggressive strategic manoeuvres?
Tune in to this episode of Global Heartbeat podcast as host Han Yong Hong and Lianhe Zaobao’s China News Copy Editor Yu Zeyuan delve into the implications of this incident and explore the broader geopolitical context.

越南共产党总书记阮富仲7月19日下午在河内因病去世，享年八十岁。阮富仲三次当选越共总书记，在位13年，是在位时间第三长的越共最高领导人。2018年至2021年的三年间，他同时兼任越南国家主席。
在阮富仲的领导下，越南的人均GDP增长超过一倍。2013年他发起大规模熔炉反腐败运动，成千上万的政府官员、高层干部、企业高管被起诉、判刑或被迫辞职。在对外关系上，阮富仲领导越南与不同意识形态的国家发展或升级了伙伴关系。
阮富仲被称为真正的马克思列宁主义者。在他去世后，越共还有理论家吗？这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红和新加坡尤索夫伊萨东南亚研究院访问研究员阮清江评价阮富仲对越南的贡献及探讨他的逝世会对越南政局带来什么变化。

阮富仲去世留权力真空 分析指国家主席苏林最可能接班 越南政治“四大支柱”之首——阮富仲生平General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Nguyen Phu Trong passed away last Friday (July 19) at the age of 80, after holding the country's most powerful position for 13 years.
In 2021, Trong was reelected as party chief for an unprecedented third term, cementing his status as one of the most powerful leaders in Vietnam’s history.
Under his leadership, Vietnam experienced significant economic growth, with its GDP per capita more than doubling. His "bamboo diplomacy" skillfully balanced Vietnam's relationships with global superpowers while promoting a foreign policy of independence and diversification.
Trong joined the editorial team of the Communist Review magazine at the age of 23, eventually becoming its editor-in-chief. A Marxist-Leninist ideologue, he studied Russian and earned a doctorate in party building. His ascent in the party ranks was steady: joining the Central Committee in 1994, the Politburo in 1999, and assuming the role of General Secretary in 2011. From 2018 to 2021, he also concurrently held the position of Vietnam's President.
Trong's passing raises critical questions about succession and the future of Vietnamese politics. In this episode of the Global Heartbeat podcast, host Han Yong Hong is joined by Nguyen Thanh Giang, a Visiting Senior Fellow at the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute in Singapore. Together, they explore Nguyen Phu Trong's life and legacy and discuss the implications of his death for Vietnam's future.

美国前总统特朗普上星期六在宾夕法尼亚州进行竞选集会时，被飞来的子弹击中右耳上沿，惊险逃过鬼门关。当特朗普在特勤人员的护送下离开时，他坚持先停下来，举起拳头，对观众喊了三声“战斗”！这个经典的画面传遍世界。
特朗普为美国而战的硬汉形象震撼全美，从他脸颊滑过的一枪把他塑造成了英雄，还仿佛净化了他身上的诸多争议。还有宗教人士认为，这就是上帝的旨意，更证明特朗普就是天选之人。现任总统拜登的选情也因此更加岌岌可危。
不过，并非所有人都像特朗普般幸运。在星期六的集会上，一名他的支持者中弹身亡，两人重伤。
特朗普已经提前赢得美国大选了吗？这次的枪击事件揭露了美国社会的哪些问题，又会带来什么变化？
这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红和台湾国科会科技、民主与社会研究中心研究员兼执行长刘奇峰解析特朗普政治暗杀未遂如何帮他净化争议。

分析：美国政治撕裂 特朗普因枪击事件获益 潘政麟：特朗普堪称乱世之枭雄Former US President Donald Trump narrowly escaped an assassination attempt during a recent campaign rally. A stray bullet grazed his right ear, but Trump's response was quintessentially defiant. Amidst the chaos, he raised his fist and thrice shouted "Fight!" to the crowd, a moment that instantly went viral and cemented his image as an indomitable force in American politics. Some religious commentators have even interpreted the event as a sign of divine intervention.
In this episode of Global Heartbeat podcast, host Han Yong Hong, delves into the far-reaching implications of this incident with Roger Chifeng Liu, CEO and senior researcher at the Research Institute for Democracy, Society and Emerging Technology. They dissect how this near-fatal event could reshape Trump's controversial legacy and the broader political landscape as the nation heads towards a crucial election. They also explore the challenges it poses to President Biden's re-election campaign as well as the deeper societal issues this event has brought to the forefront.

台湾前行政院副院长、前总统蔡英文的昔日爱将郑文灿因七年前的一宗土地案涉及贪污，在7月6日被检调侦讯与声押禁见。
郑文灿被准许以500万新台币交保，但被限制住居、限制出境与出海，保释金在星期一再提高到1200万新台币。台湾总统赖清德第一时间作出强硬表态：“不分党派，不问何人，只要涉及非法，检调都应该查办，勿枉勿纵。打诈、扫黑、肃贪，是目前政府重要的工作，目的是要维护国家的生存发展、社会的安定，以及回应人民深刻的期待，不得不然。”
郑文灿则维护自身清白，强调自己从政以来，公而忘私，不贪不取。 郑文灿被调查，是赖清德上台后惩治官场贪腐的第一刀还是对前总统蔡英文派系开出的第一枪？这是肃贪，还是民进党内斗的开始？
这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红和台湾政治观察家、东华大学教授施正锋详细解析。

台海基会董座郑文灿涉贪交保 赖清德强调勿枉勿纵Former vice-premier Cheng Wen-tsan's alleged involvement in a bribery scandal has sent ripples through Taiwan's political landscape. The 57-year-old Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) politician was questioned by prosecutors on suspicion of bribery related to a land use project during his tenure as Taoyuan mayor from 2014 to 2022.
The Taoyuan District Prosecutors Office, citing concerns over potential collusion, sought court approval to detain Cheng and restrict his communications. Despite his eventual release on bail, Cheng faces travel restrictions and denies any wrongdoing. The case has sparked debate about political accountability and corruption in Taiwan.
In this episode of Global Heartbeat, host Han Yonghong and Dong Hwa University‘s Professor Shih Cheng-Feng dissect the implications of this high-profile case. They explore Cheng's political career and his significance within the DPP, while analysing the potential fallout for Taiwan's ruling party.
A key focus of the discussion is President Lai Ching-te's response, calling for a thorough investigation regardless of party affiliations. The podcast examines whether this represents a genuine anti-corruption drive or signals internal DPP conflict, possibly targeting former President Tsai Ing-wen's faction.

中共政治局6月27日召开会议，决定开除前后两任国务委员兼国防部长魏凤和和李尚福的中共党籍。
根据官方通报，李尚福违规为本人和他人谋取人事利益；为谋取不正当利益送给他人钱款，涉嫌行贿罪。魏凤和则是违规为他人谋取人事利益。
简单地说，李尚福涉嫌到买官和卖官，而魏凤和可能涉及卖官。
他们也都涉嫌利用职务便利，为他人谋取利益并收受巨额钱款。

李尚福、魏凤和被开除中共党籍 料难逃牢狱之灾 韩咏红：李尚福落马凸显的反腐难题As part of an anti-corruption crackdown, China’s Communist Party expelled former defence minister Li Shangfu and his predecessor Wei Fenghe for “serious violation of party discipline and the law” last Thursday, according to Chinese state media.
The accusations against Li and Wei include accepting gifts and money and facilitating improper benefits for others.
Li was dismissed as defence minister last October, just seven months after taking the job. His predecessor, Wei, had not been seen in public since he was replaced last March. Wei served as defence minister from 2018 to 2023 and was also the head of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Rocket Force from 2015 to 2017.
These expulsions are part of a wider anti-corruption purge in the Chinese military, which has seen several generals and aerospace industry executives removed from the national legislative body. The fate of former foreign minister Qin Gang, who was removed after just seven months, remains unknown.
In this episode of Global Heartbeat podcast, host Han Yong Hong and Lianhe Zaobao’s China News Copy Editor Yu Zeyuan discuss the implications of the expulsions and ongoing crackdown on the Chinese military and broader political landscape.

中国大陆司法与国安机关上个星期五联合发布惩治台独顽固分子的22条司法意见，将组织、策划、实施台独活动、推动法理台独、在国际上推动台独等都确定为分裂国家罪。依据情节的严重程度，可以被判处没收财产、有期徒刑、无期徒刑，最重可以判处死刑。如果被告人在境外，可以缺席审判，而且会被终身追责。
在海峡彼岸，台湾陆委会当天立即回应表示，北京当局的做法只会挑起两岸人民的对立，严重影响两岸人民往来交流，无助于两岸关系的良性发展，是极度不文明的粗暴挑衅。
大陆的22条司法意见早在今年5月26日就对内印发，直到上个星期五才发布实施。北京为何要在这时候推出22条惩治台独的司法意见？它能达到什么效果？

印度总理莫迪及他领导的政党联盟在今年的全国大选中获胜。莫迪在6月4日发表胜选感言时，先对祖国印度致敬，接着赞颂印度教的宇宙之神贾格纳。他也告诉支持者，这是自1962年以来，第一次有一个印度政府能连续三届执政。
莫迪也开启了本人的第三个总理任期，不过他的选举成绩并不理想。在印度议会的543个席位中，莫迪领导的印度人民党只拿下240个，远远少于他定下的370席目标。他也失去了单独组阁权，必需和其他的政党组成联合政府。

韩国前总统文在寅的夫人金正淑2018年独自出访印度，出席许王后纪念公园开工仪式，也会见了印度总理莫迪，完成了第一夫人外交。
不过这件事近期却在韩国闹得沸沸扬扬，原因是金正淑当年增加行程，

美国前总统特朗普5月30日被裁定他在封口费案件中的三十四项重罪全部成立。特朗普在走出法院时称判决“可耻”，受到操纵，并出言攻击法官腐败。他称自己非常无辜，还指控这是总统拜登对他的打击。
特朗普被控伪造商业记录以掩盖他在2016年总统选举期间，支付十三万美元给一个色情女明星换取对方不公开他们有性关系的事实。支付封口费在美国不算什么罪。问题是特朗普涉嫌伪造记录掩饰自己用政治捐款来支付个人的封口费。他因此成为美国历史上第一位被判有罪的前总统。法官将在7月11日判刑，特朗普可能被判处监禁和巨额罚款。
特朗普会不会成为第一位在狱中当选的总统？他如果当选，又会对美国与美国的外交政策带来什么影响？
这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红和中华战略学会资深研究员张竞详细解析特朗普被定罪会如何影响他二度竞选美国总统之路。

【早知】“封口费”案罪名成立 特朗普还能当总统吗？ 陈留俊：特朗普与“十二怒汉”——美国社会又一窗口Donald Trump became the first U.S. president to be convicted of a crime as he makes a bid to return to the White House. A 12-member New York jury found him guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.
The jurors unanimously agreed that Trump falsified documents to conceal a $130,000 hush money payment to former porn star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential election campaign.
Speaking outside the courthouse after the verdict, Trump claimed that the trial was “rigged” against him and he was a “very innocent man”. He called the verdict a “disgrace” and accused President Joe Biden of orchestrating the prosecution.
The conviction does not prevent Trump from running for president. If Trump were to defeat Mr Biden in the November’s election, he would become the first convicted criminal to occupy the White House. How will his guilty verdict sway the U.S. presidential election? If Trump is elected, what are the ramifications for the U.S. and its foreign policy?
In this episode of Global Heartbeat podcast, host Han Yong Hong discusses the impact of Trump’s conviction on his presidential bid with Chang Ching, Non-Resident Research Fellow, Society for Strategic Studies.

今年初的台湾大选中，在三角战的情况下以四成选票胜选的赖清德在5月20日宣誓就职，标志着台湾正式进入赖清德时代。
赖清德的就职演说延续蔡英文的说法，重申中华民国与中华人民共和国互不隶属。他对台湾的名称也做了进一步的论述。演讲中，赖清德也直接指中国威胁台湾，要求民众不能有幻想。
中国大陆国台办马上发文批评赖清德的讲话坚持顽固台独立场，大肆宣扬分裂谬论，充分暴露了其“台独工作者”的本性。
学者评论赖清德的就职演说，已经是若隐若现的台独。这会如何牵动两岸关系？美国在赖清德的表态中扮演什么角色？在赖清德就职后，台湾海峡将迎来什么局势？两岸风高浪急的时代来临了吗？
这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红和淡江大学荣誉教授、亚太和平研究基金会及远景基金会首席顾问赵春山分析台湾新任总统赖清德的就职演说。

In his inaugural address, Lai reaffirmed that Taiwan and China are not subordinate to each other and directly addressed the threat from China, urging the public to remain vigilant.
China's Taiwan Affairs Office swiftly condemned Lai's speech, accusing him of promoting pro-independence rhetoric. Scholars noted that Lai's speech subtly suggested a pro-independence stance, raising questions about the future of cross-strait relations and the role of the United States. Lai's inauguration signals potential heightened tensions in the Taiwan Strait.
In this episode of Global Heartbeat podcast, host Han Yong Hong and Tamkang University’s Graduate Institute of China Studies Honorary Professor Chao Chun-Shan analyse the significance of Lai’s inaugural address.

中国与菲律宾南中国海主权争议再次升温，两国最近又因为在南中国海仁爱礁（菲律宾称阿云津礁）搁浅的一艘破船，闹出录音门事件。
中国外交官员今年4月以来一再声称，中国曾经与菲律宾针对如何管控局势达成过君子协议、内部谅解以及新模式。之后，中国公布了一段两分钟的录音，证明菲律宾西部军区司令卡洛斯答应新模式。
但是，菲律宾外交部以及军方官员都否认有这样的协议。菲律宾国家安全顾问阿尼奥指责中国捏造假信息，甚至公开提出要驱逐中国驻菲律宾的外交官。
中国和菲律宾各执一词，到底谁在说谎？仁爱礁搁浅船只的运补争议，又会如何收场？
这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红和国际新闻组主任吴汉钧详细解析。

由于同情巴勒斯坦人的遭遇并且不满校方和美国政府在以哈冲突中的表现，全美各地多所大学爆发示威浪潮，学生们在校园里安营扎寨，不肯离去，要求学校从支持以色列政府的企业撤资。

杜志远：美国校园示威凸显新思潮动向 韩咏红：美国校园示威中的社会对立In late April, the United States witnessed its largest wave of student demonstrations since the Vietnam War.
Triggered by sympathy for the plight of Palestinians and dissatisfaction with the handling of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by both university administrations and the US government, protests have sprung up at various universities across the nation. Students pitched tents and occupied buildings, demanding that universities cut financial ties with companies supporting the Israeli government.
After the universities requested help, police officers entered the campuses to clear the encampments in cities such as New York and Los Angeles.
The protests have become a political flashpoint, with Biden condemning campus protest violence.
What are the broader societal issues reflected by the student demonstrations in the US? What is the impact of this unrest on US politics and the upcoming presidential election in November?

武文赏和王廷惠落马并非无迹可寻。在他们辞职的前几天，他们的前下属都因为腐败问题被警方逮捕。2023年1月，武文赏的前任、原越南国家主席阮春福也因为下属违规而辞职。
越南政治的四大支柱成了不断变化的走马灯，震撼各界。政治观察员指河内正陷入严重政治动荡。这是反腐败的成效，还是权力斗争？

两年两国家主席辞职 越南政局动荡 反贪运动任重道远 吴俊刚：张美兰的故事The recent resignations and arrests of high-ranking officials in Vietnam indicate a significant upheaval in the country’s political landscape, sending shockwaves across various sectors.
The chairman of Vietnam’s Parliament Vuong Dinh Hue resigned over his “violations and shortcomings” on April 26, just weeks after the high-profile resignation of the country’'s second-in-command, President Vo Van Thuong. In the days leading up to the resignations, their subordinates were also arrested by authorities on corruption charges.
Political analysts have warned that Hanoi is embroiled in serious political turmoil. On one hand, these developments could be interpreted as a sign of anti-corruption efforts gaining traction. However, they could also be symptomatic of power struggles within the ruling party.
In this episode of Global Heartbeat podcast, host Han Yong Hong and Visiting Senior Fellow at ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute Nguyen Thanh Giang discuss Vietnam’s deepening leadership crisis.
