Really? really? I dont know about white people in Japan but I first heard that joke from Chinese people. I don't know how you'd be in China and not its one of those things.

Even people super into the party in a "they say foreign interference but we know who they really mean" kind of way.

Do you do nothing in your life but read and interact with material and people that you agree with you in every way? That's a legitimately unfortunate and limiting thing.

Where is my attempted "own" here and when have I said that? When people don't like my opinion they very clearly say so here, and I find it interesting to hear other peoples' perspectives even if I don't agree with them/them with me, and often find new angles on things I haven't heard before. Which is why I'm here and talk about things if there's something interesting.

Taiwan got to zero domestic COVID cases yesterday by the by

https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/taiwan-reports-no-new-domestic-covid-19-cases-first-time-since-may-9-2021-08-25/

quote:

TAIPEI, Aug 25 (Reuters) - Taiwan reported zero new domestic COVID-19 cases on Wednesday, the first time since May 9 it has logged no community transmissions, with the pandemic on the democratically ruled island now well under control.

The number of COVD-19 cases in Taiwan began climbing in mid-May after months of no or few domestic infections, prompting the government to impose curbs on gatherings, close entertainment venues and stop in-restaurant dining.

With the success of those restrictions, as well as ramped up testing and widespread compliance with the rules including mask wearing, those curbs were eased last month. read more

Border controls and quarantines for all arrivals have been strengthened.

While Health Minister Chen Shih-chung said he was happy to see no new domestic cases, people should not rest on their laurels and let down their guard.

"These two weeks are a very important observation period. I hope it can be maintained. Everyone, please don't let up," he told reporters.

Taiwan's success stands in stark contrast to many of it neighbours, including Vietnam and Japan, where the virus continues to spread rapidly.

Taiwan's domestic outbreak was almost exclusively the previously globally dominant Alpha variant, rather than the highly contagious Delta variant.

Taiwan has reported 15,939 cases since the pandemic began, including 830 deaths.

Solid showing though being an island is a big advantage and critically allows Taiwan to keep out Delta... so far. If/when Delta comes we might find out that China is the only place in the world willing to do what it takes to keep Delta numbers down.
