It’s a seemingly harmless act: smooching a tiny turtle as it sits in the palm of your hand. But the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is warning animal lovers not to do it.
At least 26 people across 11 states have recently been infected in a salmonella outbreak linked to small turtles, the CDC said in a recent investigation notice. At least nine have been hospitalized.
“Don’t kiss or snuggle your turtle, and don’t eat or drink around it" because this can spread salmonella "to your mouth and make you sick" the CDC warned, adding that turtles with shells less than four inches long are “a known source of illness.” https://wapo.st/3EcuKr7

Historically globalisation has needed a hegemon. America seems to be retreating from that role and China is not yet ready for it. So far it has opened itself to foreigners only when it sees a clear benefit to itself. As one foreign executive who has spent decades in China puts it, "the defining ideology in China is the ideology of nationalism

The declinists, we might say, will always be with us. Wherever
anyone believes in progress, someone, possibly the same one, believes in
decline. Declinism emerges today from the triumphalism of the
right: In our greatness, conservatives say, there is much to lose, and
many who threaten us. So, too, does it emerge from the pessimism of the
left: Power corrupts, and the corrupt will get their comeuppance. At
present, both impulses—triumphalist and pessimistic, chest-beating and
self-lacerating—are on the upsurge. So too, then, declinism.

Nearly every sentiment and idea that Franzen relays about the fallen
preeminence of literature has been expressed before, and better. No one
needs to be reminded for the umpteenth time that Dickens was a popular
sensation and that the audiences that once clamored at the docks for
news of Little Nell now queue at the multiplex or congregate in
cyberspace. Like Broadway, the fabulous invalid, the serious novel has
seemed poised to breathe its last ever since electricity entered the
home. As a cultural analyst, Franzen is simply the latest to join the
chorus line of declinism: Gore Vidal has been signing the novel's death certificate for a half-century.

First Use:
In 1988 the United States reached the zenith of its fifth wave of declinism
since the 1950s. The roots of this phenomenon lie in the political
economy literature of the early 1980s that analyzed the fading American
economic hegemony and attempted to identify the consequences of its
disappearance. ...
Although predominantly of a liberal-leftist hue, declinist
writings reflect varying political philosophies and make many different
claims. In general, however, they offer three core propositions.
First, the United States is declining economically compared to other market economy countries, most notably Japan but also Europe and the newly industrializing countries. The declinists focus on economic performance and on scientific, technological and educations factors presumably related to economic performance.
Second, economic power is the central element of a nation's strength, and hence a decline in economic power eventually affects the other dimensions of national power.
Third, the relative economic decline of the United States is caused primarily by its spending too much for military purposes, which in turn is the result, in Kennedy's phrase, of "imperial overstretch," of attempting to maintain commitments abroad that the country can no longer afford.
—Samuel P. Huntington," The U.S. — Decline or Renewal?," Foreign Affairs, December 1, 1988

Notes:
Declinism has been called the "apocalypse soon" school of
international relations. The word was coined in 1988 by Samuel P.
Huntington (see the first use, above), but the noun "declinist"
appears in the Oxford English Dictionary, where a citation from 1831
mentions the "doctrine of the decline of science" and labels one of its
proponents as "the leader of the Declinists." The opposite is triumphalism,
which originally (circa 1964) referred to excessive or blind pride in
the achievements of one's religion or church, but now has a broader
mandate in the language (for example, excessive or blind pride in the
achievements of one's country).
