U.S. Government Officially Enters Partial Shutdown

Odaily News According to local time on the 31st, the U.S. government officially entered a partial shutdown. Earlier, the U.S. Senate passed a spending bill to fund most federal government departments and submitted it to the House of Representatives for consideration. However, because House members are not in Washington and will not return until Monday (February 2nd), the Senate's vote could not prevent a partial government shutdown. (Jin10)
