Группа китайских политиков прибыла на Тайвань с крайне редким визитом. Представители администрации Шанхая принимают участие в форуме, организованном главной оппозиционной партией Тайваня, которая поддерживает политику сближения с Пекином. Делегацию примерно из ста человек в аэропорту Тайваня встретили протестующие с плакатами, которые подчеркивали, что Тайвань и Китай – отдельные государства. Численность делегации оказалась меньше, чем планировалось, так как тайваньские власти отказали в визах некоторым участникам. https://rus.err.ee/1609552843/predstaviteli-shanhaja-pribyli-s-vizitom-na-tajvan

In the United States, Telegram's lower public profile has helped it mostly avoid high level scrutiny from Congress, but it has not gone unnoticed. At this point, however, Durov had already been working on Telegram with his brother, and further planned a mobile-first social network with an explicit focus on anti-censorship. Later in April, he told TechCrunch that he had left Russia and had “no plans to go back,” saying that the nation was currently “incompatible with internet business at the moment.” He added later that he was looking for a country that matched his libertarian ideals to base his next startup. At the start of 2018, the company attempted to launch an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) which would enable it to enable payments (and earn the cash that comes from doing so). The initial signals were promising, especially given Telegram’s user base is already fairly crypto-savvy. It raised an initial tranche of cash – worth more than a billion dollars – to help develop the coin before opening sales to the public. Unfortunately, third-party sales of coins bought in those initial fundraising rounds raised the ire of the SEC, which brought the hammer down on the whole operation. In 2020, officials ordered Telegram to pay a fine of $18.5 million and hand back much of the cash that it had raised. Friday’s performance was part of a larger shift. For the week, the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq fell 2%, 2.9%, and 3.5%, respectively. Pavel Durov, Telegram's CEO, is known as "the Russian Mark Zuckerberg," for co-founding VKontakte, which is Russian for "in touch," a Facebook imitator that became the country's most popular social networking site.
