View DetailsAlex Vatanga, a senior researcher at the Middle East Institute in Washington, D.C., stated that Netanyahu was likely to try again to promote the idea of regime change in Iran when he met with Trump at the White House on Tuesday. But Trump wouldn't buy because he didn't want to. Within the United States, the war was extremely politically unpopular, so it remains to be seen what Netanyahu would gain from this meeting. It remains to be seen whether the previous meeting between Trump and Netanyahu in Washington, D.C., which has often been followed by an escalation of tensions with Iran, will continue this pattern. The Israeli side remains dissatisfied with the memorandum of understanding between the Trump Government and Iran, as their perception of the Iranian threat is different from that of the United States. Israeli officials would like Netanyahu to continue to pressure Trump on Iran ' s ballistic missiles and nuclear programme. The response of the Trump Government may be that unless the United States decides to deploy troops to occupy Iran, the military action that the United States forces can do is limited. No one can take Iran seriously. Kim Xian
View DetailsOn 28 July, at the Money Front 2026 New Capital Chile Summit, Dr. Yang Zheng, founder of the Shinma Mines and Director of Microelectronics, gave a presentation on the theme “From Bitcoin to AI”, suggesting that Bitcoin mining infrastructure would create new value in the AI era. Yang Zheng Xing said that bitcoin was actually made for AI. The fourth industrial revolution — the AI revolution will be completed in 2040, and it will probably be paid in virtual currency in the AI world, with bitcoin being the most important building block of the virtual currency. At the technical level, Bitcoin prepared for AI the most advanced process in the world, the cheapest device programme, the minimum power chip and the minimum power chip design methodology. “Thank you, Chung, for having invented bitcoin and preparing for AI for almost 20 years.” Yang Zheng Xing divided AI ' s computation into training and reasoning, and there were fewer opportunities for oligopoly in the field of training; but 2026 was a year of reasoning and a great opportunity. He calculated that by 2040 the size of the reasoning algorithm would be nearly $8 trillion a year, and that in the future the reasoning chip would have to be fully competitive, so that bitcoin miners had a great opportunity to enter the AI calculator industry。

View DetailsOn 28 July, CryptoQuant Analyst Darkfost released data, and the spot trade volume of Bitcoin continued its long-term contraction in July of this year, with a total drop of more than 75 per cent from the peak at the end of 2024 on the main trading platform. Binance alone recorded more than $35 billion a month, but it still shrunk significantly compared to $246 billion in November 2024. During the same period, there was a simultaneous contraction of transactions across major platforms. The last such low level of transactions goes back to the end of Bear City in 2023. Analysts attribute weak demand for risk assets to multiple macro-pressures: the US-Iraq conflict continues to exacerbate the risk-pression preference, and high inflation keeps the market concerned about maintaining high interest rates, an environment that is extremely unfavourable to speculative assets. At the same time, the fact that the stock market continued to absorb most of the liquidity available — the extraordinary performance of the technology block — has driven this rainbow-absorption effect, but this narrative began to be questioned in July. To return to the upward trend, bitcoin requires a shift in the macro-environment and, more importantly, a return in demand, which is the only driving force that can really drive up trade volumes。

View DetailsOn 28 July, in response to the recent launch of the 301 United States Survey on Productive Capacity, the Director of the Political Research Unit of the Ministry of Commerce, Lin Wyron, stated at the 28th New York Office of the Secretary-General, that this was a typical act of unilateralism that seriously undermined the international economic order. The United States cannot narrowly define production capacity above domestic demand as “overcapacity” and label it as “overcapacity”. The United States is not in a position to unilaterally determine the existence of “overcapacity” of trading partners through a 301 survey and to impose unilateral restrictions. China urges the United States to correct the wrong practices and to return to the right path of resolving problems through dialogue and consultation. China will follow developments closely, reserve the right to take the necessary measures and firmly defend its legitimate rights and interests. Xinhua
