數月放緩的經濟復甦有逆轉的危險。這就是為什麼越來越多的經濟學家,企業遊說者和其他倡導團體敦促立法者團結起來,焦點放在目前獲得國會兩黨支持的9080億美元援助計劃的原因。這種規模的計劃,仍無法達成經濟學家認為,在冠毒流行期間,為工人和企業所提供的一切援助。但如果立法者,至少是朝著正確的方向,而且也應該這樣做。

*【泡菜之爭:中韓軟實力較量新戰線】
中國一份官方小報宣稱,中國“主導”制定了泡菜的國際標準,引發了一場激烈爭論。在韓國,這一說法被認為具有誤導性,因為中文裡的“泡菜”也指“韓式泡菜(kimchi)”,這是在韓國料理中扮演了重要角色的醃白菜。“如果將來中國剽竊了泡菜的醃制程式,那麼韓國的傳統文化可能會消失,”一位焦慮的用戶在韓國人氣頗高的社交媒體平臺Naver上寫道。它也觸及到韓國文化的痛點:在韓國人食用的工廠生產的韓式泡菜中,有近40%都從中國進口,隨著吃外國菜的韓國家庭越來越多,在本土製作泡菜的傳統正在消失。

*川普還有任何其他法律途徑推翻選舉結果嗎?在賓州,川普團隊仍未放棄訴訟。在以下幾州,川普已經在法律訴訟失敗。
■ In Michigan, the Trump campaign filed a federal lawsuit to block the certification of results in Wayne County, citing complaints from poll watchers - but this was dropped after a similar challenge was rejected at state-level
■ In Arizona, a lawsuit claimed some legal votes were rejected, citing problems with voting machines - but Arizona's Secretary of State said this was "grasping at straws", and the suit was dropped
■ In Georgia, an attempt was made to stop the count in Chatham County, alleging problems with ballot processing - but the lawsuit was rejected by a judge who said there was "no evidence" of improper ballot mixing
■ In Nevada, a suit asked that Mr Trump be named the winner in the state or that the results be void with no winner certified, alleging illegal voting. This was rejected by the state's Supreme Court, stating there was "no credible or reliable evidence" of fraud
■ In Wisconsin, Trump's legal team have argued around 220,000 ballots were unlawfully cast, as they seek to overturn the result there. The suit has been rejected by the state's Supreme Court
