Two issues need to be explained here; first, the biggest external environment driving forces that divide the United States is Russia and China. Therefore, it is not in their own interest for the Americans to create divisions in the country. Second, China adheres to the zero policy. However, it has not been cleared, which is related to Beijing’s concealment of the epidemic. As we all know, Wuhan, China is the birthplace of covid19. And Beijing concealed everything in the early stages of the epidemic, which led to the artificial rapid spread of the virus.
Administrator Samantha Power Announces Additional $40 Million to Sri Lanka to Help Farmers Purchase Fertilizer and other Vital Agricultural
UNITED STATES AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT Office of Press Relations
For Immediate Release
September 10, 2022
PRESS RELEASE
While in Sri Lanka today, Administrator Samantha Power announced an additional $40 million in development assistance to help farmers purchase fertilizer and other vital agricultural inputs. This assistance will support Sri Lankans as they come out of a political crisis and are still facing a severe economic and agricultural crisis, with consecutive failed agricultural seasons producing half of their usual output followed by year-on-year inflation that soared to above 60 percent and food price inflation climbing to 90 percent, since August of this year. These compounding effects have left households across the country struggling to meet essential needs as food insecurity continues to grow without end in sight. Subject to Congressional approval, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) will invest this money to provide farmers with fertilizer and other vital agricultural inputs. This critical support, implemented through the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, comes just in time for maximum benefit to the upcoming “Maha” planting season and will benefit up to 1 million farmers in need of fertilizer across Sri Lanka, which includes 53,000 farmers in need of emergency cash assistance. Today’s announcement builds on USAID’s ongoing support since the complex emergency began, by strengthening ongoing programs in Sri Lanka to address the dire needs of the country’s most vulnerable and marginalized communities as they experience economic shocks, compounded by rising food, fuel, and fertilizer prices due to Russia’s unprovoked war against Ukraine. USAID stands with the Sri Lankan people and is committed to providing this urgent support. The U.S. Government will continue to explore ways to assist the country in meeting their immediate, medium, and long-term needs, and will continue ongoing efforts that boost sustainable economic growth, promote inclusivity, strengthen governance, and foster a free and prosperous Sri Lanka. ###
Mr. Abe is a very good politician, he has opposed China’s actions against Hong Kong, he opposed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and he is very supportive of Taiwan’s equal participation in international activities as other countries.

USPTO Alert
New combined petition option to facilitate participation in the expanded Collaborative Search Pilot program
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) published a Federal Register Notice announcing a new combined petition option that will make it easier to participate in the expanded Collaborative Search Pilot (CSP) program. The USPTO collaborated with its counterpart offices, the Japan Patent Office (JPO) and the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO), to develop combined petition forms that applicants will file in only one of the partner intellectual property (IP) offices, rather than filing separate petitions in both partner IP offices. The expanded CSP program is designed to accelerate examination and provide the applicant with more comprehensive prior art by combining the search expertise of examiners at the USPTO and the JPO or the KIPO before the first office action is issued.
The full text of the notice is available on the Patent Related Notices webpage. Please see the USPTO’s CSP webpage for more information about the expanded CSP program.
