Hassan, a Palestinian Muslim born in the United States, opened fire at a medical facility at the Fort Hood military base on November 5, 2009. 12 of the 13 dead were soldiers. Hassan was later hit by a police officer who responded to the attack, causing partial paralysis.

Hassan was sentenced to death by a military jury on August 28, 2013, for carrying out the al-Qaeda-inspired mass shooting at Fort Hood. The court in Hassan's trial investigated that he opposed the U.S. military occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan and had conversations online with Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical cleric who was said to be a member of Al Qaeda. Awlaki was a U.S. citizen who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in Yemen on September 30, 2011.

“Panda Diplomacy” from Nixon to Trump-Xi Summit: The Tension between Symbolic Meaning and Strategic Reality

Chinese giant pandas "Ping Ping" and "Fu Shuang" arrived in Atlanta, United States, on September 27, beginning a ten-year stay. When Xi Jinping announced the matter at the White House, he called the panda an envoy of friendship between China and the United States. The article points out that although panda diplomacy was once a tool for Beijing to create a friendly image, competition between China and the United States has now extended to areas such as technology, trade, and military affairs, and the symbolic significance of pandas has been questioned.

The demonstrations were accompanied by destruction and violence, resulting in injuries to students, arrests and damage to public facilities. The government and unions have stepped in, and the Senate will consider a draft law that would make vandals bear the cost of repairs.
