The Hub with Wang Guan looks at the causes and consequences of the "toxic train" derailment and fire in East Palestine in Ohio, sparking mass evacuations and deaths of animals. Professor Gregory Mahoney of East China Normal University says President Joe Biden flying to Ukraine and not visiting the affected area shows he is pivoting to foreign policy. The focus on Ukraine, a rising China, which he singled out in his State of the Union address, and the treatment of the Chinese weather balloon are efforts to bolster his term in a difficult second half. Professor Anthony J. Moretti of Robert Morris University calls the Ohio incident the "best example" of the overall decay of the U.S. public's trust in the government, institutions and media. Anthony Chan, ex-JP Morgan Chase chief economist, says environmental disasters have a long range, as shown by the meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan. The incident highlights the importance of preventing such occurrences. But they will recur once safety is compromised.
