"A dead end that offers no way out”: US-China ties are at risk of being poisoned by Washington’s “growing Chinaphobia,” Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said.
As Wang held talks with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, he told his counterpart that tensions in the China-US relationship are caused by Washington’s “misperception of China.”
🗣 “The self-contradictions and say-do gap in the US policy toward China reflect serious miscalibration of its views on the world, on China, on China-US relations, and on interests and competition. Many people thus argue that the United States is taking on growing Chinaphobia. If such threat inflation continues unchecked, the United States’ China policy will only lead to a dead-end that offers no way out,” Wang warned.

🔥 Yosemite wildfire is latest threat to giant sequoia trees
The largest grove of giant sequoias in Yosemite National Park was closed Friday and hundreds of people were ordered to evacuate as a wildfire burning through dense forest became the latest in recent years to threaten the world’s largest trees.
More than 500 mature sequoias were threatened but there were no reports of severe damage to any named trees, such as the 3,000-year-old Grizzly Giant. The cause of the fire was under investigation and the rest of the park remained open as nearly 300 firefighters tried to control the flames with the help of two water-dropping helicopters and an air tanker dumping flame retardant.
The fire broke out near Jackson on Monday and temporarily forced about 100 people celebrating the July 4th holiday along a river to seek shelter in a Pacific Gas & Electric Co. facility.

🇺🇸 The US added 372,000 jobs in June, beating forecasts as the economy edges closer to pre-crisis employment
The gain reflects a mild slowdown from May's increase, which was revised to 384,000 from 390,000. The unemployment rate held at 3.6%, according to the report. Economists largely expected the rate to hold steady through the month. Unemployment has lingered at historic lows in 2022 as intense demand for labor leads most job seekers to quickly find work.
Education and health services firms led the way in June, adding 96,000 jobs through the month. Professional and business services firms followed with a 74,000-payroll increase. Leisure and hospitality businesses added 67,000 jobs, with 41,000 of those added payrolls coming from restaurants and bars. Residential building contractors shed 4,500 jobs, underscoring the bottlenecks behind the nationwide housing shortage.
