It's the second time of reporting bubonic plague in China, last time was around the end of last year, so we are much calmer this time. Also there are another two cases in Mongolia. Since it's not pneumonic plague, people believe that it will be fine if not directly touch or eat rodent and no signs of human to human infection found yet.

2 time Olympic champion Lin Dan just announced retirement from national team and giving up trying his 5th Olympics due to age and health issue. Personally, I think Lin Dan is the icon of Chinese badminton and an international legend. Good luck to him. And according to his announcement, he still possibly attend national games representing his provincial team for the very last time.

I remember the Seattle mayor said police would take control at least one week ago. But they actually did nothing and let shootings continuously happen?

What China leant from Covid-19, I will declare any new virus as a potential pandemic at the earliest stage

A Warm-up song for the contest which I heard many many times about overcoming difficulties during life adventure.

I find whichever country you try, does XXX have universal healthcare is a heat question. I have no idea it's so important before.

Worrying for US open...

Without surprise. Wanna know how he gonna receive treatment, I guess he will cure himself without medication naturally.

Are we remain unknown of the nations and songs participated until the end of registration and then we can start listening?

the shootings is something definitely gonna happen sooner or later, and the democratic politicians just relax and wait for this moment to be justicial enough back there and take control. What a loving show. "we pay too much for political correctness"- Donald Trump

The result is quite consistent with what I though about my stand, generally a mild progress supporter in a conservative way.

I also watch it, BTW I thought only Indians and Chinese would care about this, the problem is still as what I said, there is no consensus where the Line of Actual Control is. I watched one Chinese youtuber talked about it, where the line he draw lays different place, so people ALWAYS think other part crossed the line I drew in my mind and rival started the conflict. I drew a simple picture of it and the reason for the conflict at the very beginning is that India built road in the buffer/conflict zone which both sides consider in their own land.

When I wanna book my nation early, should I decide the song at the same time or can I decide the song later?

I think NOC member this requirement is good enough. 100% representative is quite hard and inefficient.

I'm not sure how much of what Bolton said are true, but if so, it's still somehow astonishing for me. All the "-lisms", ideology, values are just bullshit, only deals and money are real stuff. What a pure businessman. For China stuff, he doesn't care about Hong Kong protests, Uyghur concentration camp, Tian'anmen massacre, all of those just chip for better deal. How dare he just say it out.

After 4 days of investigation, the source of this wave in Beijing is still unknown. The only confirmed information is that the source can't be the imported salmon. Well, huge knowledge to me.

Usually it will show all dispute areas in dotted lines in most countries other than India and China I guess. But it does't all represent LAC. you need to further google and wikipedia it. Extremely messy.

Sure thing. The statement of both sides are similar if you change the subject and object. Why? Because the Line of Actual Control is not a real line, the so-called line is always crossed by the other side.

Beijing announce semi-lockdown today after 106 cases found in past 4 days, people from moderate and high risk district of Beijing are forbidden to leave, people from low risk district requires negative confirmation of hospitals to leave. Most flights canceled. All schools close again. All gyms, swimming pools, underground space close. Most markets close. And people are encouraged to work from home. I will enjoy my time home for coming days. Welcome to February Again!

Update from China side: The military finally publish a short statement about it in a "soft" tone. The statement claims India violated the census generated a few days ago and crossed the Line of Actual Control. This behavior caused clash and casualties. China calls for de-escalation through conversation. The statement didn't mention the number of casualties and the injured of each sides and still calling for de-escalation through diplomatic measures. I guess it won't be a big news in China and it will fade out unless further escalation occurs.

I don't know that they hate religion that much. In my mind, bibles are not important at all comparing scold and curse Kim.

Haha he is always the first man to comment sensitive issues. But still official press of China remains silent including the one he is working on. I guess authorities don’t want to play it big and discussing the tone of this issue.

No Chinese media report this yet. According to Indian media, 5 Chinese dead and 11 injured, it definitely will burn out the anger of nationalism if this turn out true.

I think NK is just an attention whore in this issue, the building is NK its own's. They can simply change it to other function or just shut it. But they chose to explode the building as a symbolized signal but they literally made it. The attention whore got the attention of the whole world. Also the so-called reason for escalation is the anti-Kim publication balloons from the south. Come on, this old-fashioned thing at least last for 50 years continuously. The whole drama is NK's own one-man show but successfully got won the free commercial of the world. The whole drama could just conclude into one sentence " Look at me, Kim Yo-jong, the sister of Kim Jong Un is on the stage now"
