美国对主管入藏中国官员实施额外签证限制
美国国务卿鲁比奥星期一（3月31日）说，美国对主管外国人进入西藏地区相关政策的中国官员，实施了额外的签证限制。
据路透社报道，鲁比奥在声明中称：“长期以来，中国共产党拒绝让美国外交官、记者和其他国际观察员进入西藏自治区和中国其他藏区，而中国的外交官和记者却在美国享有广泛的自由。”
声明中没有提到任何中国官员的名字，也没有详细说明美国的措施。
鲁比奥说：“美国外交官也无法为前往西藏旅游的美国公民提供服务。这种缺乏互惠的行为是不可接受的，也是不能容忍的。”
他敦促中国允许外交官等人“不受限制地进入”西藏地区。

The super secure UAE-based Telegram messenger service, developed by Russian-born software icon Pavel Durov, is looking to raise $1bn through a bond placement to a limited number of investors from Russia, Europe, Asia and the Middle East, the Kommersant daily reported citing unnamed sources on February 18, 2021.The issue reportedly comprises exchange bonds that could be converted into equity in the messaging service that is currently 100% owned by Durov and his brother Nikolai.Kommersant reports that the price of the conversion would be at a 10% discount to a potential IPO should it happen within five years.The minimum bond placement is said to be set at $50mn, but could be lowered to $10mn. Five-year bonds could carry an annual coupon of 7-8%.
Bitcoin is built on a distributed digital record called a blockchain. As the name implies, blockchain is a linked body of data, made up of units called blocks that contain information about each and every transaction, including date and time, total value, buyer and seller, and a unique identifying code for each exchange. Entries are strung together in chronological order, creating a digital chain of blocks. “Once a block is added to the blockchain, it becomes accessible to anyone who wishes to view it, acting as a public ledger of cryptocurrency transactions,” says Stacey Harris, consultant for Pelicoin, a network of cryptocurrency ATMs. Blockchain is decentralized, which means it’s not controlled by any one organization. “It’s like a Google Doc that anyone can work on,” says Buchi Okoro, CEO and co-founder of African cryptocurrency exchange Quidax. “Nobody owns it, but anyone who has a link can contribute to it. And as different people update it, your copy also gets updated.”
