A | The Build Back Better World (B3W) program was pompously announced by the club of seven developed nations to counter China's Belt and Road at the G7 Summit in Cornwall in July 2021. However, little had been heard of the G7's endeavor since then. In June 2022, the Group of Seven decided to breathe new life into the project.,"So far, America has failed to build momentum on its plan to Build Back a Better World," says Francesco Sisci, a Beijing-based China expert, author, and columnist. "However, with this new G7 plan, which includes other countries, this momentum could start to be built. It is a question mark. Nobody is sure until things are realized. But you cannot just underestimate and dismiss this plan, because there is a large commitment of many countries with a large economy and this plan could make big sense.",The G7's grand design envisages laying a secure sub-sea telecommunications cable that will connect Singapore to France through Egypt and the Horn of Africa; creating a COVID-19 vaccine plant in Senegal; expanding solar projects in Angola, including solar mini-grids and home power grids; and establishing an innovative modular nuclear reactor plant in Romania, among other issues.,The US president pledged to mobilize $200 billion in investments in global infrastructure projects over the next five years. The overall investment, including G7 member states and private capital, is expected to reach $600 billion.,"With two competing plans - size matters, at the end of the day," says Sisci. "That is, China may be able to immediately finalize a lot of money in a short time in a number of projects. The G7 countries could be slower, but eventually they could build up momentum and they could channel much more money much more effectively, perhaps, in a much larger number of projects which could stifle Chinese projects.",Sisci suggests that the club of developed capitalist countries "may end up being more effective in many ways [than China], a smaller non-capitalist country.","China, but also Russia, by far, don't have the size, the gravitas to oppose even a divided G7, which is coming together because of this opposition to China or Russia-driven projects," he notes.,UK's Looming Recession is Self-Inflicted, BoJo and BoE are to Blame, Economists Say19 June, 12:09 GMT,G7 Economic & Geopolitical Hurdles,However, some other observers express skepticism over the ability of the US and G7 to implement the project given record-high inflation and cost of living crisis currently engulfing the states. The US, British and European central banks are struggling to tame skyrocketing inflation by raising interest rates to reduce demand, which is prompting recession fears.,"Washington claims they are going to be sending over $200 billion. But where's the money coming from and how is it going to be really used?" asks Thomas W. Pauken II, the author of "US vs China: From Trade War to Reciprocal Deal," a consultant on Asia-Pacific affairs and a geopolitical commentator.,He notes that previously the US Senate voted Biden's landmark Build Back Better initiative down, and for good reason, as Republican congressmen feared that the Democratic administration's spending spree would fan inflation and increase an already bloated national debt.,Pauken also expresses bewilderment over the G7's apparent readiness to embark on the bold international project at a time when the group is involved in the Ukraine crisis with the UK trying to keep the military conflict dragging on. "I mean, it's laughable that they have to think about [competing with] China at this time when they're on the brink of a major war in Europe," the commentator remarks.,Challenge or Opportunity? How China's Digital Silk Road May Change Global Technology Order16 April 2021, 04:00 GMT,Meanwhile, the G7's Global Investment and Infrastructure Partnership cannot be regarded so far as a viable alternative to the Beijing-led Belt and Road Initiative that has been implemented for slightly less than a decade, according to Pauken.,"First of all, [the G7] actually need[s] to make these projects work," says the geopolitical commentator. "Other than that solar plant in Angola, I don't see any of these initiatives really working.",In particular, China invested almost $59.5 billion in its comprehensive infrastructure project in 2021 alone. When it comes to crucial elements of the project, the West appears to be lagging behind. While the G7 is still considering building a subsea cable linking Europe and Southeast Asia, China kicked off its Digital Silk Road (DSR) almost seven years ago. The DSR's backbone is the Pakistan and East Africa Connecting Europe (PEACE), a 9,300 mile long subsea cable network meant to tie Asia, Africa, and Europe together. The network is designed to transmit over 16Tbps per fibre pair with its Mediterranean section going from Egypt to France having already been laid.,WFP Announces Cuts in Food Rations for Refugees in East, West Africa Due to Lack of Funds20 June, 17:13 GMT,Are Emerging Economies Interested in the G7 Agenda?,There is yet another problem as to how to make these Western projects attractive for Global South nations, the Asia Pacific expert continues. In particular, the G7 has been pushing ahead with a climate change agenda and the plan to cut carbon emissions, which is not relevant for the majority of third-world states which are still reliant on cheaper and more reliable fossil fuels and coal plants, he notes.,"You also have to deal with auditing issues as well as the so-called climate change consultants who go on the ground and on site," he says. "You have to prove that those infrastructure projects are not causing much of a carbon footprint. But most of the major infrastructure does require a big carbon footprint, especially in the emerging markets, because they don't have the same equipment or they don't have the same standards or labor laws as they would have in Western Europe or the US.",Many emerging economies, including African countries, are beginning to have a growing frustration with the US and Europe, according to Pauken. The reality is that Africans and many of the emerging markets want to focus on economic stuff, he notes. However, when the US officials come in, they're talking about climate change or gender equity, and this is not as interesting to developing nations, the commentator emphasizes.,"[Developing nations] want help on improving their agricultural production levels and boosting their energy capacity, which the Russians and the Chinese have been doing," Pauken notes.,Given all of the above, it is unlikely that the G7's Global Investment and Infrastructure Partnership initiative is going to actually happen, argues the geopolitical commentator.,"They're rebranding a failed policy, thinking it might work by using new names and new mergers. Last time it was separate between the EU and separate between the US and they somehow think that if you combine the two failed projects into one, that this will somehow succeed. That's not going to work in the real world," Pauken concludes.。
追星骗局，是未成年人用网中较为突出的警情之一。孩子们为追逐偶像明星，活跃于各类短视频和社交平台。然而他们的辨别能力较弱，很容易被“免费添加明星微信”“独家粉丝福利”等话术迷惑，落入诈骗陷阱。 私加明星微信?女孩扫码落陷阱
家住宁夏银川的小兰这个夏天刚刚小学毕业。7月的一天，她在刷短视频的时候，看到了一篇附带二维码的图文视频，声称可以添加某明星的私人微信。作为该明星的粉丝，小兰心动不已，立即扫码添加了对方微信。
受害人 小兰：那个人自称是一个明星的助理，说可以帮助加到那个明星的微信，我就问他，我说你是不是坏人，我有点害怕你是坏人，然后他说他不是，我说让他拍一个证件过来。
B | 他说他等会给我拍。 这个自称明星助理的工作人员一边以“等会儿拍”、“结束后就发”等理由拖延发送证件照片，另一边又不断给小兰介绍，自己手中有多位明星的资源。 受害人 小兰：他当时给我拍了一段视频，旁边有几位明星的照片，还有一个证件没看清。 虚构身份验证流程 以转账为名实施诈骗
就在小兰逐步放松警惕之后，这位“明星助理”又告诉小兰，为了防止出现骚扰明星私生活的情况，需要对她的身份进行验证。而验证的方式就是转账。
受害人 小兰：后面就是他先让我进行了一些操作，说是为了帮我解除嫌疑，然后让我一直做。 谎称转账可返还 连环套路骗走3万多元
一开始，对方让小兰先转了900元，用于所谓的“身份登记”。之后又以操作失误、需要补充验证等理由，让小兰再次转账九千多元，并反复告诉她所有转账都是虚拟的，事后会全额返还。
C | 受害人 小兰：因为他说是虚拟的，所以我觉得这个钱是真的不会被转走的。
就这样，在对方的一次次诱导下，小兰先后多次向指定账户转账，累计达3.79万元。每次转账后，对方还叮嘱小兰删除转账记录，以此躲避家长的检查。 直到小兰的母亲发现账户资金异常，反复追问之下才得知女儿被骗，随即向警方报案。
接到报警后，银川市公安局经济技术开发区分局刑事侦查大队迅速启动反诈应急处置预案，围绕涉案资金流、信息流开展紧急研判。通过梳理数十条转账记录，逐级追查资金转移路径，发现受害人转入的资金在经过多个中间账户后最终集中流向一个位于福建省的可疑账户。

银川市公安局经开区分局刑事侦查大队民警 刘勃文：通过侦查中心研判和当地公安对我们的协作，发现犯罪嫌疑人的反侦查意识都非常强，使用的微信账户和收款账户都不是实名本人，转账资金也经过了多层的分流。我们通过对大量资金流和信息流交叉比对、逐条溯源，最终才精确锁定了陈某某的身份信息和落脚点。 涉多起案件 追赃挽损同步推进
目前，犯罪嫌疑人陈某某已被抓捕归案。警方通过进一步审讯发现，犯罪嫌疑人还涉及其他多起诈骗案件，侦办工作和追赃挽损正在同步推进。
E | 警方介绍，此类针对未成年人的“明星社交账号”类诈骗较为突出。
F | 未成年人辨别能力较弱，极易被“免费添加明星微信”“独家粉丝福利”等话术迷惑。
银川市公安局经开区分局刑事侦查大队民警 赵一帆：这种未成年人追星类的电信诈骗，近期呈多发态势，套路是环环相扣，并且隐蔽性极强。骗子就是利用小孩对明星的崇拜心理，来诱导孩子一步步操作。通过微信转账，并在微信转账结束后，删除微信转账记录。
G | 家长在第一时间难以发现。
对此，警方提示，手机支付密码是家庭资金安全的一道重要防线，建议对手机转账设置限额，开通短信、App通知等多种方式的交易提醒，一旦发现异常转账，可以及时处置。 银川市公安局经开区分局刑事侦查大队民警 刘勃文：家长要保管好手机支付密码，不要随意告知孩子。
H | 同时要多关注孩子的上网行为，一旦发现大额转账、频繁支付等异常情况，要第一时间核实。发现被骗后要立即报警，越早报警挽回损失的可能性就越大。
引导孩子理性追星 增强反诈意识
此外，警方也建议，家长应该更多地和未成年子女沟通，引导他们理性追星、增强反诈意识。未成年人遇到涉及转账、扫码等操作时务必与父母商量，不轻信、不转账、不隐瞒。学校和社区也应加大对未成年人的反诈宣传力度，形成家庭、学校、社会三方联动的防护体系。
