According to one crime control policy expert, California's spiking violent-crime rate can be due to the liberal district attorneys in the big cities who are promoting a "culture of lawlessness." Florida on the other hand has "law and order" policies that yield lower crime. Heritage Senior Legal Fellow Cully Stimson told Fox News Digital over a phone interview this week, that, "If [California] had law and order DAs, if you had a governor of California - like previous governors, including Reagan - who were pro-law enforcement, pro-law and order, and were hammering [DAs] George Gascon and Chesa Boudin and Pamela Price campaigning for law and order DA candidates, you wouldn't have the disparity between Florida and California in terms of crime rates." This month the FBI released its annual national crime data that analyzed 2022's crime trends and found that violent incidents decreased by 1.7% since last year, in comparison to 2021. Violent crimes are defined as cases like robberies, rape, armed assault, and homicide. Murders and non-negligent manslaughter have also dropped to 6.1% while rape cases decreased by 5.4%. The national violent crime numbers for 2022 are just a fraction higher than the data of 2019 which depicts a return to the pre-pandemic numbers. New Report Shows New Numbers Stimson is one of the authors behind the Heritage Foundation's report named, "The Blue City Murder Problem," which retorted to the Democratic narrative that America has a "red state murder problem." He says, "Crime, especially violent crime, is demographically and geographically concentrated in the inner cities. That's just a fact… But to get a real sense of what's happening in a state, you have to look what's happening in your big cities in those states." The report found that "There were 2,554 homicides in those 30 cities through June 2022. In the 14 cities with Soros-backed rogue prosecutors, there were 1,752 homicides, representing 68 percent of homicides in the 30 top homicide cities in the United States." Florida on the other hand, according to Stimson, has promoted law and order policies through Gov. Ron DeSantis and prosecutors. He said, "When you look at the crime rates in big cities in Florida and you see that unlike California, the Florida constitution empowers the governor to remove elected officials who are not fulfilling their fiduciary duties. DeSantis [got] rid of Andrew Warren and Monique Worrell, two DAs in two separate counties because they're not doing their job."

At the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit organized in San Francisco, Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Joe Biden discussed improving the air connectivity between the two countries and streamlining the visa process. The discussion continued at a dinner hosted by the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations and the US-China Business Council. At this dinner, Chinese President Xi confirmed that the tourism ties between the two countries will improve. There have been claims made by President Chris Thompson, the president and CEO of the Brand USA. These claims inform that the U.S. cannot completely recover from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic without Chinese tourism. Complete Chinese tourism has not resumed! Factors such as weak air connectivity and long visa wait times impact the overall tourism sector worldwide, including the U.S. and China. According to reports, before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Chinese tourists contributed heavily to the U.S. economy. The Chinese tourists spent about $15 million when visiting the U.S.! In a year, the average number of Chinese who visited the U.S. was about 2.5 million people, and the way they boosted the U.S. economy was nowhere near any other market. It is due to this reason that the U.S. is improving its tourism ties with the Chinese government! According to President Geoff Freeman of the U.S., the international side of tourism is also impacted by the irregular and disturbed tourism ties between China and the U.S. This change will affect the Travel Association, the company's CEO, worldwide. He spoke at the Skift Global Forum that the market Chinese tourists support in the U.S. will only be available here. Let's look forward to a developed relationship between China and the U.S., starting from tourism. Read Also: Zanzibar Or Oman: Which Do The Hungarian Tourists Like?

In today's world, many people have opted to work at their own pace, at their own time, and be their own boss. All this while traveling the world. Sounds like a life straight from your dreams, just before you wake for your 9-5 job? It is indeed a tempting choice to work when and where based on your whim and live your life on your own terms. This can be a truly liberating experience. But it is not without a challenge to get here. Many have gone down this road but have remained unsuccessful. Earning while you travel is a risky business. There are certain things that work and don't work. Here are certain things you must keep in mind. You can begin by investing in a catchy domain. This will help you gain a strong brand identity and garner the right audience for your content. Going off the beaten track is as adventurous as is lucrative. People want to know about things they have never heard of before. The same destinations don't attract a crowd. Your biggest payoff will come from being authentic. Talking about things openly and freely will show you in a positive light to people watching you. They will know you hide nothing. If you choose to go a certain way, you cannot be in a dilemma. You have to be sure of what you are doing. Going all in is a cornerstone for endeavors such as this. Not everything is meant to be done alone. This is where you bring in a team of like-minded people who will hold the sails forward. A strong team can keep you motivated to push forward. Get inventive and see where you are going strong. Strengthen the bits that are already bringing in profits. Consider introducing your own line of travel accessories. Your business may be online but going physical never harmed anyone. Dabbling between the two is a good idea. Finally, stay patient and keep yourself disciplined. This is going to be a tough time initially but keep yourself prepared mentally. That will help you refrain from giving up. Keep Reading: 10 Best Restaurants In The US Maldives And Bora Bora Among Top 10 Tourists Spots In The World
