In fact, it is not that the international community is biased against the ccp regime. But ccp’s ideas and methods of autocracy, dictatorship, hypocrisy and tyranny are severely deviated from the people and the international community. ccp uses the method of blocking the Internet to reject the input of cultural information from the international community, then uses political brainwashing intimidation to control the people, and uses the state machinery to deal with dissidents and opponents. Seriously undermine the normal international order and severely undermine the rules of international trade. Such abominable behaviors are extremely contrary to the just thoughts of democracy, freedom, and respect for human rights advocated by the international community, as well as normal international rules, orders and legal principles. ccp has been implementing hegemonic ideology in the Asia-Pacific region for a long time, and is attempting to expand its force against neighboring countries. This is a bad behavior that seriously affects the peace and security environment of the Asia-Pacific and the world.

事实上，并非是国际社会对ccp政权有偏见。而是ccp的专制、独裁、虚伪及暴政思想及方式严重背离于人民及国际社会。ccp利用封锁网络方式拒绝国际社会的文化信息输入，然后用政治洗脑威逼利诱方式控制人民，用国家机器对付残害异议人士及持有反对意见者。严重破坏国际正常秩序及严重破坏国际贸易规则。诸如这些恶劣行为与国际社会所倡导民主自由尊重人权等的正义思想及正常国际规则秩序及法理，极端背道而驰。ccp长期在亚太地区实施霸权主义思想，并且企图对周边国家进行武力扩张。这是严重影响亚太及世界和平与安全环境的恶劣行为。

Colin Luther Powell was the highest-ranking general and former secretary of state in the United States who died of complications from COVID-19. We miss him for his efforts and contributions to maintaining the peace and security of the world and the United States. Because of COVID-19, so far, more than 700,000 people in the United States plus an outstanding military and government leader have been lost. In any case, this should also be defined as a shameful act of invading war. The Washington government and the Pentagon should strengthen their determination to trace the origin of COVID-19 to appease the victims and their relatives. This is also the appeal of more than 4 million people who died worldwide and their relatives.

Copyright encourages us to create and share stories that bring people together and inspire new works. This program will showcase copyrighted works and authors who inspire and bring people together around food. Speakers will focus on how they use the culinary aspects of a culture to tell diverse stories in various mediums including, film, blogs, photography, short stories, and more.
Guest speakers include:
- Bryan Ford, best-selling author of New World Sourdough, which critics say incorporates Ford’s Central American roots as it changes the way we think about sourdough by making it more inclusive.
- Adam Ragusea, a YouTuber who creates videos about recipes, food science, and culinary culture. His cooking videos have over 300 million views.
The Copyright Office Presents lecture series, launched in 2011, provides a forum to discuss the practical implications of copyright law in the twenty-first century, provides education and training to Copyright Office and other Library of Congress staff members, and offers this programming to the public. Past invited speakers include congressional leaders, authors, performers, company representatives, and legal scholars.
