During the outbreak of COVID-19, almost everyone in China wears a mask to 1 themselves against the virus.However, many people in the West feel 2 to wear masks, even if there is an increasing number of their compatriots being infected.

According to the Global Times, different attitudes toward wearing masks largely lie in the cultures. In the West, what people 3 believe that unless one is already ill, wearing а mask is simply 4 .

Siva Kumar from the US is one of them. “Masks can only protect you from particulate matter in the air you breathe, but they can' t hold up microbes," Kumar told China Daily. “Wearing a mask when you’re healthy will 5 tension for others.”

US infection prevention specialist Eli Perencevich told Forbes, The average healthy person shouldn' t be wearing masks." She added, “If they wear them 6 it can increase the risk of infection because they’re touching their faces more often.”

However, for people in Asian countries like China, wearing a mask is deep- rooted in their culture.Valuing collectivism(集体主义), people in Asia always want to make 7 to the groups that they belong to. In such uncertain and potentially dangerous time, many people have taken their responsibility to wear masks to ensure the safety of their 8 .

Chen Xinjie, a media worker in Beijing, said, Wearing the mask for a long time is hot, stuffy (闷热的) and uncomfortable...But as a member of the group, it’s our duty to do so.

Influenced by social cultures, the 9 toward wearing а mask can be different in the East and West. But as US essayist Ralph Emerson once said, “We must each 10 others even as we respect ourselves.”

In South Korea, smartphone cases come with rings tied on the back of the mobile phones to prevent clumsy owners from dropping them. This makes people look like they literally are 1 to their phones. In many of Seoul’s most Instagrammable coffee shops, couples on dates spend 2 more time looking at their screens than at each other. The results go beyond the potentially damaging consequences this may hold for romance.

Walk around the streets of Seoul or any other South Korean city, and there is a real risk of bumping into people whose eyes are 3 to their smartphone screens. Insurers 4 that around 370 traffic accidents annually are cause by pedestrains using smartphones. That figure does not include those who bump into lamp posts and the like while watching the latest cat videos.

The government 5 tried to fight the “smombie” (a combination of “smartphone” and “zombie”) epidemic (传染病) by distributing hundreds of stickers around cities appealing to people to “be safe” and to look up. This seems to have had little effect, so the South Korean-capital has recently 6 the stickers with sturdier (结实的) plastic boards.

Instead of appealing to people’s good 7 , the authorities have therefore tried to save them from being run over. Early last year, they began to 8 with floor-level traffic lights in smombie hotspots in central Seoul. Since then, the trail has been 9 around and beyond the capital. For the moment, the government is 10 old-fashioned eye-level pedestrian lights as well. But in the future, the way to look at a South Korean crossroads may be down.

Chip flow interrupted

A stable global supply chain of chips had been maintained before disruptive moves by the US.

Two of the US’ top chipmakers—NVIDIA and AMD-were ordered to stop exports of two high-end chips to China on Aug 31. The ban 1 sophisticated (精密的) chips for graphics processing units (GPUs); which have been widely used in applications including AI and creative production.

This came after US President Joe Biden signed an order to pass the $52.7 billion (about 369.5 billion yuan) semiconductor chip manufacturing subsidy (补贴) and research law on Aug 25.

It aims to 2 efforts to “make the United States more competitive with China’s science and technology efforts”, Reuters noted.

Biden also signed the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 into law on Aug 9. According to the act, chip makers that shift their factories to the US can receive subsidies and tax benefits with 3 conditions that restrict US companies from increasing investments in China for 10 years.

“The US and its allies,” Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google and a financier for the Bill Clinton, Obama and Biden presidential campaigns, said in March, “should utilize targeted export controls on high-end semiconductor manufacturing equipment... to protect 4 technical advantages and slow the advancement of China’s semiconductor industry”.

In 5 to the US latest act, Woo Jin-hoon, a guest professor at Beijing Foreign Studies University, wrote for China Daily, this is “a move that can be profitable for the US in the short term, but harmful in the long run”.

The design, manufacturing and even raw materials of a complete and complex product like semiconductors (especially chips) are usually 6 across many different countries and regions, forming a huge trade network.

No matter how hard countries or regions try to support their own manufacturing bases and 7 their production, a certain degree of interdependence among countries and regions is unavoidable, China Daily commented.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said on Sept 1 at a press 8 that the US move is typical “sci-tech hegemony (霸权)”.

“With its technological advantages, the US has abused the concept of national security and its state power to 9 down on the development of 10 economies and developing countries,” said Wang. “The move violates market economy principles, harms international economic and trade orders and disrupts the stability of global industrial and supply chains.”
