英文摘要 | The Evening: Cases Grow Globally, Uighur Sanctions Bill, Los Lobos and MoreJune 18, 2020 Cases Grow GloballyThe number of coronavirus cases continues to grow globally, with two of the highest tallies in the history of the pandemic recorded this week, driven by outbreaks in Latin America, Africa, South Asia, and the United States, which still posts some of the highest counts of new cases, as the NYT reports. China Finds Heavy Coronavirus Traces in Seafood, Meat Sections of Beijing Food MarketChina has found the trading sections for meat and seafood in Beijing’s wholesale food market to be severely contaminated with the new coronavirus and suspects the area’s low temperature and high humidity may have been contributing factors, as Reuters reports. Uighur Sanctions BillPresident Trump signed a measure to potentially sanction Chinese officials for their role in interning ethnic Uighurs amid new claims by former national security advisor John Bolton that Trump told President Xi Jinping he approved of China’s construction of large-scale camps to forcibly reeducate Muslim minorities. The new Uighur Human Rights Policy Act, which passed the Senate and House unanimously, drew a furious response from Beijing today during a delicate moment when Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was meeting in Hawaii with Communist Party foreign policy director Yang Jiechi, as the Washington Post reports. Climate Check"The United States is getting to the point where our lack of ability to engage seriously and consistently on [climate change] is becoming a vulnerability both at home and abroad," writes CSIS's Sarah Ladislaw in a new commentary.
