Hanoi, Vietnam CNN —President Joe Biden will arrive at Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s doorstep on Sunday with a deal in hand to draw yet another one of China’s neighbors closer to the United States. “It’s not going to be easy for Vietnam, because they’re under enormous pressure from China,” the official went on. In Vietnam, it’s not only China whose influence Biden is competing with. On Monday, Biden plans to announce steps to help Vietnam diversify away from an over-reliance on Russian arms, a senior administration official said. “I think that’s a deliberate design by the Biden administration,” said Yun Sun, the China program director at the Stimson Center.

Patricia Kopatchinskaja, sau PatKop, cum îi spun cei care nu-i pot pronunţa numele, e una dintre cele mai de succes violoniste ale momentului. Luni, am contactat-o şi noi pe Patricia Kopatchinskaja pentru a o întreba ce sentimente o încearcă, mai ales că vestea victoriei ei a făcut înconjurul lumii. Pentru noi, cel mai important a fost să găsim limbaj comun, să alegem coloritul muzical pentru a crea o muzică însufleţită, diferită de perfecţiunea discurilor obişnuite. Moldoveancă în sufletPatricia Kopatchinskaja a plecat din Republica Moldova, împreună cu părinţii şi cu sora ei, la vârsta de 13 ani. S-au stabilit în Austria, la Viena, oraş al muzicii lui Mozart şi al valsului lui Strauss, unde Patricia a studiat vioara şi compoziţia cu profesori extraordinar de buni.
