In 2020, many incidents occurred one after another. These events cover a wide range of international relations, domestic affairs and preparations for major events.

These events are like many mirrors, reflecting problems and situations in different corners of the world.

On July 16, 2020, everyone noticed that the Chinese and American flags were hanging in a conspicuous position.

Such scenes imply the connections and interactions that exist in all aspects of Sino-US relations.

In international economic activities, for example, if a company conducts a transaction, the United States will set a deadline, such as September 15, and require business owners to complete the transaction before this date. If it is not completed on time, the relevant applications will be forced to be removed from the US market.

This shows the US's stance in the field of economic diplomacy, which is characterized by regulation and interference.

Some experts have criticized this behavior, such as a member of the Cato Institute who noted that Trump's approach is similar to the "Mafia business model."

This shows that the United States may have adopted an overly tough approach when implementing its foreign economic policy. Such an approach has aroused various reactions from the international community and will also have a certain impact on commercial exchanges between China and the United States.

Against this policy background, entrepreneurs need to deal with multiple challenges such as business plan formulation, capital allocation decisions, market development, and company sustainable development.

When Chinese entrepreneurs go to the United States to do business, they may encounter policy changes. As a result, many previously invested resources may be at risk in an instant. This makes the company's operations extremely unstable. Therefore, companies have to continuously evaluate and adjust their business strategies to respond to changes in the international political environment.

The logo of the Tokyo Olympics appeared somewhere in Tokyo on April 23, 2020.

The preparations for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games have encountered many uncertainties.

Toshiro Muto, as the head of the Olympic Organizing Committee, has not completely ruled out the possibility of holding the Olympics behind closed doors.

This possibility was raised mainly because of the impact of the global COVID-19 epidemic.

The epidemic has changed the way people socialize, and large gatherings face huge risks.

On the one hand, public health is at risk; if many spectators gather to watch the game, the epidemic may spread on a large scale.

In addition, there are health risks for athletes. During the competition, players from different countries may transmit diseases to each other.

In Japan, a member of the Liberal Democratic Party believes that the Olympics should be held as scheduled even without spectators.

There are huge economic interests involved behind this voice.

In the process of preparing for the Olympic Games, huge amounts of money have been invested in the construction of venues and the improvement of infrastructure. If the Olympic Games are not held, serious economic losses will be suffered.

The Olympic Games are not only related to many industries at home and abroad, including tourism, catering, broadcasting and other industries, but the development of these industries directly affects the life and death of many enterprises.

In a traditional Chinese medicine institution in Hubei, employees pack materials on March 27, 2020.

As of July 19, my country's local governments have invested 1.23 trillion yuan in fighting the new coronavirus epidemic.

It is accompanied by 135,500 treatment cases, covering confirmed and suspected patients.

China's investment in epidemic prevention and control reflects the government's sense of responsibility for people's health.

When the epidemic broke out, Hubei became the top priority. Whether it is the distribution of medical supplies or the treatment of patients, a large amount of financial assistance is urgently needed.

China has built temporary hospitals in various places, such as Huoshenshan and Leishenshan hospitals.

Building these hospitals not only requires financial support, but also requires coordinating building materials, arranging construction personnel, and ensuring that the hospitals are fully equipped.

Many medical staff were sent to Hubei to provide support, and the transportation and accommodation expenses they required also constituted one of the costs of prevention and control work.

Behind each of these numbers are the results of China’s tangible efforts in epidemic prevention and control.

On January 4, 2020, an industrial accident occurred somewhere, and thick smoke rose from the scene.

The incident highlights safety risks in industrial production processes.

No less than 100 pieces of large equipment were damaged in the accident, and there were 4,000 other losses.

In concentrated industrial areas, if the factory's equipment maintenance files and safety inspection mechanisms are not sound enough, such major accidents may occur.

Once such an accident occurs, casualties are inevitable, and it will also have an adverse impact on the surrounding environment, such as air quality deterioration.

The lives of local residents have been greatly affected, and their normal daily activities such as commuting to get off work and school may have to be adjusted.

For businesses, this is undoubtedly a huge disaster. It not only includes direct losses of equipment, materials, etc., but also involves complex issues such as subsequent rectification and compensation. These problems may lead to long-term shutdown or partial shutdown of the enterprise, which in turn affects the economic benefits of the enterprise and the employment status of employees.

Somewhere, a ship arrived at the port at 6:10 local time, and the news spread throughout the city.

The arrival of a ship will bring about many chain reactions.

Commercially speaking, it may come loaded with cargo.

The loading, unloading, and transshipment of goods will drive the busyness of the port-related industry chain.

Porters assume the responsibility of moving goods, and logistics companies need to develop reasonable cargo transportation routes to ensure that the goods can be quickly delivered to the designated location.

For the local city, the port is the city's economic window.

The arrival of the ship may bring more business opportunities, and domestic and foreign businessmen will come to discuss business, sign contracts and other matters.

However, this could also lead to management challenges, such as increased security inspection burdens at ports and surrounding traffic that could become congested with freight.

In the current era of globalization, these seemingly independent events are actually closely connected.

The dynamics of Sino-US relations and the Tokyo Olympics, as well as my country's domestic efforts to prevent and control the epidemic, as well as local industrial accidents and the arrival of ships at ports, all affect the global situation and people's lives to varying degrees.
