Haha, I am not sure the price in other cities of China and experts claim very low possibility that salmon would infect people but still raw fishes are not recommended during pandemic.

When I thought it was fully over in China, there is a sudden spike in Beijing where strictest measures are taken all around the world I guess. 6 people are diagnosed as patients and other 45 are asymptomatic. All of them are related to the biggest wet market in Beijing, some are vendors and some are customers. It's not related to wildlife animal, but the original source is still unknown. 95%+ patients in China could be traced the source of infection, so this is a huge challenge right now. Undoubtfully my daily life would be heavily affected AGAIN. BTW some salmon fish samples tested positive in the market, so the price of salmon suddenly drop 90% in Beijing.

He's not idiotic but realistic. He literally has zero intention to unite the people. He just want to please his original supporters and potential riot haters to gain the votes. Those protesters will not vote for him anyway, so no need to care, it's better to focus on what could win but not already lost. The cost is tearing the society apart even further but who cares.

Maybe he/she means if there's no protests for the past two weeks, it's already a huge win.

I also wondered what if murder, robbery, gun shot etc happen during this period, anarchism like trump said?

A peaceful song I accidentally heard from a reality show and I am really into it.

Chinese Basketball will restart at 20th June adopting tournament system in two cities without spectator during the whole season including playoffs. PS the tournament system is from google translation, if anyone knows the correct naming pls correct me, thx.

I think the reporter and cameraman are both physically ok (not heavily injured). I saw the live video clip in their reporting sight and the anchors were astonished. The Australian PM already protest to the US embassy (most likely no follow-up). Not only this but also a lot of video clips could be used for authoritarian country propaganda. I saw CNN, Vice, Russian, UK and Australian journalists attacked by police already.

I mean not from the point of view of weapon producers but from the point of view of an outsider country government. For example, what's the benefit if US involve in the local conflict of some random middle east country? Maybe the US-backed local force will win the civil war eventually and a so-called democracy country established. Again, so what? What US can get? people may not be grateful and the local government with a high chance go corruption and collapse soon and fight again.

Because war is a waste of money and getting nothing back in his businessman eyes. This is somehow relief for the rest of world.

it may be true before the last election as no one truly knows him. It turns out we are way too naive. he truly play politics like business to bargain with allies and rivals. But as long as it didn't meet his expectation, he would sanction anyone without hesitation and mercy.

I suspect less than 2 weeks maybe in 1 week. I don't see the riots can change anything except venting emotions. What government could do? Arrest the police, commit investigation and claim some oral reforms. Then this thing will pass. The deeper bias will not just vanish by protest and paper rules.

Maybe by African votes? I am not sure, just a blind guess.

China no. He started the trade war and a potential cold war. We pray every single day for the coming 5 months that Biden would win. At least he's rational.

Totally understandable. It's different ideology or "political philosophy", but this is what China gonna do. By no means government will allow a bad policeman causing such a big national chaos. It's politically, economically and healthily incorrect/cost-ineffiecient and government could correct this like a parent by forcing apology and forcing victim's family accepting compensation and the apology.

In my memory Persian called China "Qin" or sound like "Chin", it's the name of a of very remote ancient dynasty of China around 2000 years ago. Oldest name of all languages I guess.

It's my first time to hear a Bakersfield news for past 10 years. I spent a summer vacation there at 108 degree temperature when I was 16 and feeling weird that once again hearing this city name is because of riot.

@MHSN According to the latest committee conference resolution, there are total 31 Olympic sports and 9 non-Olympic sports, total events/gold medals around 460-470. 31 Olympics sports - no skateboarding and surfing (including sport climbing, karate and softball/baseball ) 9 non-Olympics sports -Wushu, Sepaktakraw, Kurash, Jujitsu, cricket, Board games, Roller skating, Kabaddi and squash I think sports are basically confirmed but events are not totally confirmed yet. source: https://baijiahao.baidu.com/s?id=1644381703345691384&wfr=spider&for=pc

I will try searching in Chinese but I guess they might not update anything during pandemic.

Do you mean the list of sports in the Games or how many matches of each sport? I don't quite get it in English.

I can't quite understand the mechanism that US sanctions Hong Kong by treating it as rest part of China, ie more export regulations and raise tariff, generally speaking by hurting Hong Kong's economy. So Hong Kong people become the poorest ones, lost freedom of speech by Beijing and lost jobs/money by Washington. They protest hardly and lose anything they wanted. Eventually Singapore become the winner as they never protest and yell.

I wonder why Trump can make many decisions on his own including some major ones like tax/tariff policy and quitting international memberships? Isn't it supposed to be passed by some procedure?

Since USA quit, China doesn't have to put that much money any longer to gain the position. Less invest, more power.

I saw the live video. I don't think the reporter disobeying the police order. He is quite calm and cooperative during the live. Police ask them to move and they are going to and then he got arrested. I would say it's the police overreacted and CNN is not intentionally playing the racial card.

If it's in China, government will immediately arrest the policemen and make them apologize in public to get forgiveness of victims' family. I also think it's the most effective and efficient solution, why not the government do so? If the policemen proved innocent, they can be released after this issue over.
