The U.S. government is considering imposing new Covid rules for travelers from China, officials said, citing concerns over virus-related data released by the Chinese government.

“There are mounting concerns in the international community on the ongoing COVID-19 surges in China and the lack of transparent data, including viral genomic sequence data, being reported from the PRC,” officials said in a statement late Tuesday.

“Without this data, it is becoming increasingly difficult for public health officials to ensure that they will be able to identify any potential new variants and take prompt measures to reduce the spread,” the officials said.

EXTREMELY PISSED AT THE DNC
Nepal-China ties get a ‘happy’ boost with new leftist PM, but India and US wary


quote:

The rise of a veteran Maoist leader to become Nepal’s new prime minister is likely to inject “more momentum” into the country’s China ties while also checking American influence in the region, analysts said, after communist parties came together on Sunday to oust the previous US-aligned government.

Pushpa Kamal Dahal, more popularly known as Prachanda – meaning fearless – ditched his alliance partner the Nepali Congress (NC) to install a communist-led government in Kathmandu with rival KP Sharma Oli’s Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist Leninist).

New government in Nepal.

interesting that none of the articles sourced here are willing to repeat whatever it was that he said that caused him to lose a court case for slander and endure travel restrictions something which seems kind of relevant to the question of whether he was unjustly punished given that we also have slander laws and travel restrictions after conviction in the united states

I mean, the Wikipedia article says "Xu was sued in 2019 for calling tai chi Grandmaster Chen Xiaowang a fraud." Chen won some gold medals forty years ago, and now runs training classes where he claims to have magical powers.

From what I can tell, Xu Xiaodong uses military Kung Fu to beat up mall dojo types. His other politics aside, taunting martial art frauds until they fight him seems like a noble endeavor.

yeah thats the part that seems suspicious to me the dudes whole gimmick is calling kung fu masters frauds and beating them up but as far as i can tell this is the only time anyones ever tried to sue him which implies to me that he crossed some specific line in this case that rose to the level of legal action which was unusual for him

to use a whataboutist example the fact that amber heard was convicted of defaming johnny depp doesnt mean that the official position of the american government is that noones allowed to say mean things about national treasure johnny depp you need to actually get into the specific charges and evidence to understand how and why that decision was reached

they should’ve waited till they had high vaccination rates, even higher than America

they should have waited till it was demonstrated they have a domestic vaccine as effective as the foreign vaccines they weren’t able to acquire

they should’ve waited till they massively expanded their number of ICU beds to deal with surges

oh wait they did all that? okay correction all those things are bad they shouldn’t have waited on them

I heard a commentator predicted that once GOP takes the congress, they will restart the Covid origin investigation.

That's why Blinken mentioned Covid to Wang Yi in their phone call. To one up the Republicans.

everybody keeps saying that but as far as i can tell the only people who are pushing back against him are people who actually do traditional chinese martial arts i dont really get how nationalism goes into this unless youre taking the position that traditional chinese martial arts are inherently nationalist which isnt something we generally say about martial arts in any other country

like if some dude was running around japan calling sumo wrestlers fat pussies and beating them up that would probably make people mad too but we wouldnt say that he was being persecuted by japanese nationalists

Chinese are ultra nationalist fascists if they don't consume Nike and McDonald's. This is literally the explanation my previous company came up with got why their products were failing in the Chinese markets that they had gone all in on.
