Totally have no idea there is a testing event tomorrow and I even don't know the construction is finished! And I do keep tracking the sports news from state media and I am sure it's never reported.

Basically the pandemic is considered over in China and almost everything's back to normal although some little scattered cluster cases found for several times. And vaccine begin for publicly emergency use targeting potential oversea students and workers although phase 3 trial is not fully finished yet. I hope the vaccine would finish development soon and make us all back to norm.

2020 is just like a dream. I can still clearly remember on the late night of Jan.22nd Chinese authority announced Wuhan will be lockdown from 10am Jan.23rd. My cousin in Wuhan called the taxi at 8am successfully escaping Wuhan driving to the neighbor city and then took a train back to our hometown and then stayed in her own house with parents for almost 3 months not daring leaving or telling anyone. Theme song for 2020:

That's me. No one report it at all. Government and media obviously focus on Winter Olympic 2022.

Voting has been sent. Top3 are quite clear in my mind and unbeatable after first hearing. Top 4-6 are with very good quality and I like very much making me hard to list. And rest of my voting all hit me in some parts and very impressive for me. It's a very good playlist for me.

I totally understand these countries with disputed land keeping neutral or silent. But I mainly refer to France Germany Netherland Belgium Italy these EU countries without disputed land or separatist pressure.

I wonder why almost no western countries admit Nagorno-Karabakh as an independent country or at least show their support of Armenian separatist. Because for me, the situation of Karabakh is very similar to Kosovo. They both are ethnical minority groups of their original country and have very strong determination to be independent. And the origin of the dispute is also similar, it's the reverse of historical migration and settlement between majority and minority ethnical groups. Usually western countries will show support for the weaker minority side. If so, it will definitely help end this humanitarian disaster with civilians randomly dying everyday.

Sure. It's just a good timing and leverage not to shame either side.

The "secret agreement" is revealed. It's the resignation/firing of Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey who started the dispute. China CCTV commented "All price have to be paid and wish him good luck".

It's good enough for me. He doesn't have to show his personal character or political views. He just need to be normal, stable-minded and a typical moderate democrat. That's enough for him to win the vote, any further behavior is an another adventure.

I randomly picked 4-5 songs to listen and I found that the quality are unexpectedly good. I am much impressed by 3 songs and I might already have top 3 in my mind. Hope other songs will also beyond my expectation.

Well, I would like to say Japanese sports federation require exceptional high behavior standards for athletes. I am not sure if suspension would also apply to other athletes. But for him, it's more like because he's the captain of national swimming team and the most famous one, that's why paparazzi followed him, shot the photo and becoming a social news afterwards.

Yes a Japanese diver. Her father was a Chinese diver and being coach in Japan after retirement. She was born in China, moving to Japan very little and naturalized to Japan together with her parents. So generally Chinese fans like Seto a lot and called him Chinese son-in-law sometimes.

Anyone noticed Seto's marriage affair before? I am quite shocked because his image in mind is a responsible and almost perfect man who has a beautiful Chinese wife. But I think it weird he got suspended for having affair, for a short time though. Hope it won't interrupt his training. He is my favorite foreign swimming athlete

Somehow it's true. But also thanks to the stage of UN, we human kinds already avoided a lot of potential hot wars replaced by diplomatic and political battles.

They will and always interfere China’s issue by condemning and they also interfere Israel annexation by condemning. But in exchange, they lost huge Income from USA but what did they get in return? Self recognition and moral heights? What if they lose the second largest income source from China again? Who to pay the settlement fees of Rohinga refugees and other political and war related refugees? I am not saying that no human rights issue in China and Russia nor they are models to praise. But in practice the motivation of every vote is selfish and complex especially for those developing countries leaning on big powers. UN is not Utopia but a real battle ground of geopolitics.

It's quite understandable as USA quitting due to its condemning over Israel annexation. Without support of China and Russia, this organization may totally lose its international influence and becoming some crazy old lady keeps murmuring who nobody cares. No UN body could function normally when it loses support of USA, China and Russia simultaneously and UN is already trying very hard to balance the big powers from democracy to authoritarian, and from liberals to conservatives. Politics is not about idealism but compromises.

Hahaha. He must be the mind reader and soul mate of Chinese CCP. " I stand with all foreign activists who make chaos for their own country but I want mine peace and love, law and order, prosperity and stability."
