Nikki Haley for veep talk fizzles. Gabriel Sherman: “According to sources, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump’s effort to draft Nikki Haley to replace Pence on the 2020 ticket has fizzled. During her book tour month, Haley stoked speculation that she was positioning herself to replace Pence when she torched Trump nemeses Rex Tillerson and John Kelly while lavishing praise on Trump… The thinking was that Haley appealed to suburban women, a crucial demographic Trump fares poorly with.”---By Taegan Goddard Dec 04, 2019
veep: vice president
fizzle: If something fizzles, it ends in a weak or disappointing way after starting off strongly.

strut

Someone who struts walks in a proud way, with their head held high and their chest out, as if they are very important.
趾高气扬地走; 高视阔步

Biden struts as his rivals bite the dust. Joe Biden’s feeling awfully confident these days. Biden is dripping with confidence as he tours Iowa two months before the state’s caucuses, after endless predictions his candidacy would have crumbled by now.
-- Politico Dec 04, 2019

Trump and Macron duke it out (fight)in public ahead of NATO summit。 It was a verbal version of their infamous handshake wrestle: Donald Trump and Emmanuel Macron locked in an epic blab-fest — more than 40 minutes of mansplaining, rhetorical jousting, glares, glowers, shrugs, smirks and smiles. -- Politico Dec 4, 2019

manspreading
the practice whereby a man, especially one traveling on public transportation, adopts a sitting position with his legs wide apart, in such a way as to encroach on an adjacent seat or seats.
意为男性在公共交通工具上,双腿分开,占据不止一个座位空间的行为,

The Pratas Islands 东沙群岛 Dongsha
The Paracel Islands [ˈperəsel ˌīləndz] 西沙群岛 Xisha
Macclesfield Bank [ˈmækəlzˌfiːld) ] 中沙群岛 ZS
The Spratly Islands 南沙群岛 Nansha
The Senkaku Islands 钓鱼岛 Diaoyu Islands
Scarborough Shoal 黄岩岛Huangyen Island 斯卡伯勒浅滩

Last weekend. Chin(a) tested an anti-ship missile near the Spratly Islands, in the southern reaches of these waters, and in June it sent J-10 fighters to a deployment on Woody Island in the Paracels.

Macclesfield Bank is an elongated sunken atoll of underwater reefs and shoals in the South China Sea. It lies east of the Paracel Islands, southwest of the Pratas Islands and north of the Spratly Islands.

Dongsha Island, also known as the Pratas Islands will open for three environmental education group tours.

Chin(a) needs third runway in Spratly Islands to break US grip in South China Sea if tensions escalate, experts say.
