One of the highlights of the 2024 RIMPAC military exercises is the Sink Exercise (SINKEX), where participating military aircraft and ships bombard target ships. TVBS visited a shipyard in Hawaii where the retired USS Tarawa, resembling China's Type 075 amphibious assault ship, will serve as the target. While some military experts interpret this as targeting China, the U.S. military denies such claims. This farewell mission of the USS Tarawa, a Persian Gulf War veteran, will commence in Hawaii. The exercise, using the Tarawa as a target, is seen as a possible message to China, given the similarities between the Tarawa class and China's Type 075. The choice of target ship has sparked speculation and interest among observers.

Not only cold weather increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases, hot summer days should also be taken seriously! Doctors warn that the loss of sweat and rapid evaporation in hot weather can lead to dehydration and lack of essential electrolytes like potassium and sodium, causing blood to thicken, potentially leading to heart attacks or strokes. A recent case of a 55-year-old office worker who mistook breathing difficulties and chest tightness as being overweight, but turned out to be acute myocardial infarction, serves as a reminder that cardiovascular diseases can affect middle-aged individuals. Proper hydration, avoidance of smoking, and following medical advice are essential in managing cardiovascular health.
