Great victory for censorship today, as HBO removed Gone with the Wind from their library.
 
How does this work exactly? Denial of the Holocaust is punishable by law in some places, while denial of the slavery is... encouraged?
 
I guess we should just pick-and-choose things we do like and remove stuff we don't. We can all live in our own private little fairytales! That's basically the message these HBO minds are sending.

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.

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.

Again, can't be sure if it's real or not, but it is fun to think about some lunatic somewhere thinking "lemme just take a dump on this car, that'll teach them!"
 
 
 

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.

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.

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. 

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.

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.

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.
