China will donate an additional 100 million COVID-19 vaccine doses to developing countries this year, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced on Thursday at the 13th BRICS summit.


China last month promised to provide 2 billion COVID-19 vaccine doses to the world throughout this year and donate $100 million to COVAX, the global vaccine sharing scheme initiated by the World Health Organization. The fund will mainly go to the distribution of vaccine doses to developing countries.


To date, the country has provided more than 1 billion doses of COVID-19 vaccines to over 100 countries and international organizations.

the third saturday in september is "national defense education day" in china

it's like a clancychat holiday. this video is from tsinghua university:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOzy91YT2jI

quote:

Beijing is scheduled to carry out air strike alarm test on September 18, to mark the 21st National Defense Education Day and raise public awareness.

The air-raid warning will fill the air across the city in three-minute intervals from 10 am to 10:23 am on the day, the Beijing municipal government said in a press release.

The test is reported to enhance residents’ national defense awareness and raise their knowledge about air strike warning. The test will be held in suburb areas, and residents can carry on with their lives afterwards.

Shanghai will also hold the same test on the same day, with air-raid warning filling the air across the city in three-minute intervals from 11:35 am to 11:58 am, the Shanghai government said earlier this month.

Along with a trail of sirens, air defense drills will be carried out citywide. A civil defense map mini-program will be released by the Shanghai government on September 18 to raise public awareness.

The map will provide various information, including civil defense projects, civil defense education places, and emergency shelters as well as navigation services to these places.

stumbled across the channel awhile ago and subscribed. whoever runs it mostly uploads videos from 81.cn (PLA website) so i think some of the quality gets lost along the way

so, mike wallace interviewed deng in the 80s, and i couldn't find the full version. but i did find a documentary by a bunch of dopey american journalists in china in the 80s recalling "the story of china's opening up as told by the clueless reporters who witnessed it," and it was pretty funny. the chinese government arranged a rare interview with deng and invited mike wallace to do it, and it was a big deal. what a scoop! the prominent american journalist mike wallace is going to interview deng.

so wallace gets there, and for two hours, deng just explains what the government is doing and uses a lot of marxist language, and this is aired in full on chinese television, but it's all basically useless for wallace and CBS news or whatever, and then the interview is over and wallace goes home with squat. his producers are furious, it's a total disaster from their perspective, the worst interview in wallace's career, and the only "news" they got out of it was deng saying he might retire, and that's all they actually aired:

I was told the most difficult part of mRNA vaccine is the mixture stuff to keep the vaccine stable before expiration date, which is trade secret not patented. And a Chinese pharma already signed up with Biontech even before Pfiszer, so China knows about the mixture secret already.

My friend, I'm saying Covid-19, as created in the Wuhan lab, is currently circulating in the animal population. It wasn't only introduced into the human population, it was also introduced into the entire mammalian population on earth. They killed off millions of infected mink last fall for that very reason.

If shrews, deer, mice, etc are running around right now with covid, what's stopping it from spreading back into the human population at any time?

Zero-Covid is a pipe dream because a field mouse is going to hop into your house and infect you!
