The relationship between an art biennale and its host city is something that art scholars and critics have long hoped to figure out so as to better explore more possibilities for further development. To this end, the ongoing Chengdu Biennale, one of the largest art events hosted in Southwest China in 2021, is hosting the symposium Innovations: Art of The City.

The US Food and Drug Administration and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Tuesday called for a pause in the use of the Johnson & Johnson (J&J) single-dose COVID-19 vaccine after six recipients developed a rare disorder involving blood clots, according to the New York Times.
Nearly 7 million people in the US have received J&J shots, and another 9 million more doses are in transit to states. All six recipients of the shot with the disorder were women between the ages of 18 and 48. One woman died, the article said.
While the pause was framed as a recommendation for health practitioners in states, the federal government is likely to pause administration of the J&J vaccine at federally run sites. It is expected to affect President Joe Biden’s promise to have enough vaccines for all American adults by May. The administration had been counting on using hundreds of thousands of the J&J vaccine in that effort.

(CNN) Jack Ma s Ant Group quickly became one of China s most powerful companies, and its plans for bridging the worlds of tech and finance were growing ever more ambitious by the day.
Now it appears to be turning into the kind of highly regulated Chinese bank that it hoped to supplant.
Months after the company s blockbuster initial public offering was shelved at the last minute a move that appears to have been sparked by Ma s criticism of Chinese regulators several media outlets have reported that Ant has agreed with authorities to become a financial holding company.
Ant declined to comment on those reports earlier this month, and the details of any potential agreement were not immediately clear. The company did not respond this week to additional questions about any deal with authorities.
