Vietnam reported 74.7k cases over the past week, for a population of 98.338 million

we here in the Philippines reported 101.9k cases over the past week, for a population of 111.24 million

and they're doing 1.64 tests-per-thousand-people, compared to our 0.52, more than three times as much

I'm rooting for them. Our government is trying to prime the population to just give up

Vietnam is actually running very "China like" quarantine procedures. I can see China use some of these procedure if infection goes to the next stage. A lot of factories have to set up indoor tents to house the factory workers. And the workers have to eat and sleep inside the factory, no going home allowed.

I did see a thread about how the factory workers at least only stay in the tents if they volunteer for the extended shifts and get paid overtime for it, which while not ideal is probably better than the US just forcing everyone back to work with no compensation or measures in place

I heard Xi dah dah is investing corruption charges of CCP cadres who were in connection to Jack Ma's Ant Group planned "record setting" IPO. If this is true, its definitely something I can get behind. I can actually hold this up and show to my American and Indian friends.

This is one of the related news.

Can we all take a moment to thank China for their ultimate sacrifice by shutting themselves off from the future.

China was the dominant mining force of the world. Dominant is a way that it was starting to become concerning that they hold too much power. 65% of the hashrate.

Controversies were flying around that BTC is their brain child to dominate the world economy. Well that FUD has been broken thanks to their own callousness, inability to comprehend their own power and shutting themselves off from the new paradigm.

Nevertheless they still hold 46% of the hashrate. Even despite the mining ban. However it has lost the 51% dominance and other countries like the US, Kazakhstan, etc are catching up.

The hashrate in China could continue to fall as their government keeps cracking down on the miners.

Thank you for giving us a hard reset and giving other countries a chance to catch up.

Edit: By using "China", I was referring to their authoritarian government. Not the people.

the character you wrote says foreign country as in literally any foreign country the chinese dont think all foreign countries are america thats silly and not very funny

the character for america meaning beautiful being used to describe the english is funny though because the english arent beautiful theyre hideous but from the chinese perspective they probably dont look any different than we do
