Beijing amends Regulations on the Administration of Laboratory Animals
In order to strengthen the management of laboratory animal transportation, Beijing requires production and user units to transport laboratory animals to use special vehicles that meet the requirements. At the same time, it requires relevant departments to refine the safety management of the transportation link system.
On 30 July 2021, the 32nd meeting of the Standing Committee of the 15th National People's Congress of Beijing voted and passed the decision on amending the "Regulations on the Administration of Laboratory Animals in Beijing."
The term "experimental animals" as mentioned in the "Regulations" refers to those that have been artificially raised and bred to control the microorganisms and parasites they carry, with a clear genetic background or a clear source, and used in scientific research, teaching, production and verification, and other scientific experiments on animals.
Wang Aisheng, Deputy Director of the Legislative Affairs Office of the Standing Committee of the Beijing Municipal People’s Congress and spokesperson for the Legislative Affairs Office of the Standing Committee of the Municipal People’s Congress, said that the amendments to the regulations highlight safety management and supplement and improve relevant regulatory measures in response to new situations and problems in laboratory animal work, and focus on virus leakage prevention, resolve biosafety and public health safety risks.

Solve the problems in the management of laboratory animals
The "Regulations of Beijing Municipality on the Management of Laboratory Animals" was formulated in 1996 and revised in 2004. It is the first local regulation on the management of laboratory animals in the People's Republic of China (PRC). Over the past 25 years since the implementation of the regulations, it has played an important role in strengthening the management of the production and use of laboratory animals, ensuring the normal conduct of teaching, scientific research, and medical research activities, and promoting the healthy development of the biomedical industry.
In order to solve the problems in the management of laboratory animals in Beijing, the Standing Committee of the Beijing Municipal People's Congress listed the amendments to the regulations as a project to be completed in 2021 for the legislative amendments to strengthen the protection of the rule of law in public health.

Special vehicles that meet biosafety requirements should be used
In order to do a good job in revising the regulations, the Office of Education, Science, Culture, and Health of the Standing Committee of the Beijing Municipal People's Congress, in conjunction with the Legal Affairs Office, the Municipal Bureau of Justice, and the Municipal Science and Technology Commission, have conducted field investigations on the production and use units of experimental animals.
Wang Aisheng said that during the investigation, it was learned that experimental animal production units often refit their vehicles to transport experimental animals, but there are instabilities in the control of parameters such as temperature, ventilation frequency and air cleanliness of the refitted vehicles, which has a certain impact on the quality of experimental animals. Besides, modified vehicles also do not comply with road traffic management regulations. It is also more common for experimental animal users to transport and carry experimental animals by themselves. In the past, there was no clear management standard for this kind of behavior, and there was a safety risk.
In order to solve these problems, not only to ensure that the quality of laboratory animals meet the needs of scientific research, but also to avoid endangering public health safety, the "Regulations" stipulate that production and user units should use special vehicles that meet the requirements for transportation of laboratory animals. At the same time, relevant departments are required to refine the transportation safety management system of the link.

Report in time when laboratory animals are found to be infected or suspected of being infected
The "Regulations" clarify that when units and individuals engaged in laboratory animal work discover that laboratory animals are infected or suspected of being infected, they should immediately report to the district agriculture and rural departments and the municipal science and technology department where they are located, and take effective measures to prevent the spread of the epidemic. In the event of a major animal epidemic, the emergency plan for a major animal epidemic will be initiated in time.
News (5)
Unauthorized work in laboratory animals can be fined
The "Regulations" stipulate that for the behavior of engaging in laboratory animal work without a permit or an expired permit, a fine of 50,000 RMB to 100,000 RMB will be imposed. For experimental animal projects that fail to conduct welfare ethics review, carry experimental animals in and out of production and experimental environment facilities in violation of regulations, and cause experimental animals to escape, punishments such as warnings and temporary suspension of experimental animal licenses are stipulated.
Wang Ai claimed that the "Regulations" also stipulated corresponding penalties for the behavior of introducing used experimental animals into the market and not implementing harmless treatment in accordance with the regulations.

Is something really going to happen? Unit 1 of Guangdong Taishan Nuclear Power Plant shuts down
One and a half months after the spill at the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant in Guangdong, China General Nuclear Power Group announced a sudden shutdown on Friday (30 July 2021) to repair the problematic Unit 1 reactor.
China General Nuclear Power Group announced on Friday night that the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1 suffered a small amount of fuel damage during operation, so it was shut down for maintenance, found the cause of the accident and replaced the damaged fuel.
EDF, which owns 30% of the Taishan nuclear power plant, stated as early as a week ago that if a similar situation occurs in France, it should be shut down for maintenance to avoid more serious accidents.
CNN first disclosed the leakage of the Taishan nuclear power plant in June 2021. At that time, China relaxed the radiation standards around the nuclear power plant to avoid shutting down the nuclear power plant.
Some analysts believe that to avoid responsibility, China has always been procrastinating if it can be delayed, and if it is not closed, it will not be closed. This time the sudden announcement of the closure of its own, experts are afraid it is really going to be a serious matter.

Mainland Chinese can't exit, the immigration bureau ordered strict control of going abroad

The CCP used the pretext of epidemic prevention to strictly control people's exit. In the first half of 2021, the issuance of ordinary passports dropped by 98%, which aroused public concern. Some commentators believe that epidemic prevention is only an excuse for the authorities, and that the CCP’s tightening of exit controls is mainly to prevent officials from fleeing, and at the same time to prevent more capital outflows.

Expert: The CCP strictly controls exits to prevent capital outflows
The National Immigration Administration of the CCP held a press conference in the morning of 30 July 2021, stating that a total of 335,000 ordinary passports were issued in the first half of 2021, mainly for study abroad, employment and business, and the number of issuances was only 2% of the same period in 2019.
According to the Immigration Bureau, it has adjusted its immigration policy based on the dynamics of the epidemic, insisted on “non-emergency and non-essential non-exit”, and strictly approved the issuance of ordinary passports and entry-exit permits for mainland residents.
The spokesperson of the State Immigration Administration of the CCP, Chen Jie, said, “If the applicant has no urgent and necessary reasons, we suggest canceling or postponing the plan to leave the country.” For applications for study abroad, employment, business, etc., they will be issued entry after verification of credentials."
However, many mainland netizens report that the CCP strictly controls the issuance of passports, which has a serious impact on studying abroad. Unless there is an admission notice from a foreign school with a clear start date, it is impossible to apply for a new passport.
It is understood that after the outbreak of the CCP virus in 2020, Chinese people have not issued passports for travel applications. Mr. Wang (pseudonym), who lives in New York, told NTD reporters that his child's grandfather wanted to come to the United States to see his grandson. Because his passport expired, he was refused when he went to apply for a new passport. He has not been able to come to the United States.
In response to the CCP’s strict control of exiting the country, Qin Peng, a critic in the United States, believes that epidemic prevention is not the main reason. The CCP authorities have several considerations for controlling personnel leaving the country on a large scale. The purpose of restricting the exit of ordinary people is to limit the outflow of funds and limit the outflow of foreign exchange.
As early as 12 November 2020, Yin Chengji, Deputy Director of the National Immigration Administration of the Communist Party of China, said at a press conference that 46 land ports and 66 border crossings have been closed, and that Chinese citizens’ travel and other non-essential reasons have been strictly approved. Application for entry documents, to discourage and restrict non-essential and non-urgent activities such as traveling, visiting relatives, and friends of mainland residents.
Dong Guangping, a democratic public welfare activist in the mainland, told The Epoch Times that epidemic prevention is only an excuse. The mainland has always had an epidemic. The CCP has strictly controlled personnel leaving the country. This actually reflects the serious shortage of foreign exchange in China.
Dong Guangping said that strict control of leaving the country has a great impact on high-ranking officials and high-income people. "These rich people want to travel abroad, visit relatives, emigrate and invest, or go out to see a doctor, and they will no longer have a great impact."
In June this year, Taiwan’s general economics expert Wu Jialong said in an interview with Epoch Times that the CCP’s central bank’s foreign exchange reserves are currently 3.2 trillion U.S. dollars, deducting 2.4 trillion U.S. dollars of borrowed U.S. dollar debt, leaving 800 billion U.S. dollars left, and then deducting foreign investment (estimated About 40% of US$1 trillion) is about US$400 billion, and only US$400 billion remains. “This is the part that the People’s Bank of China can control.”
However, the amount of oil, natural gas, grain, metals, industrial equipment, raw materials, and chips imported by the mainland each year exceeds 400 billion U.S. dollars. Therefore, Wu Jialong analyzed that "China's foreign exchange reserves are not enough." Next, the CCP may tighten foreign exchange controls and try to avoid capital outflows.
Dong Guangping believes that the CCP’s strict control of exiting the country has another purpose, which is to prevent the dissemination of information. The CCP’s greatest fear is the flow of information. Many considerations for the introduction of unfavorable information to the CCP, such as foreign exchange, public opinion control, and epidemic control, are all due to the CCP’s fear and its fear.

Mysterious recording of a senior CCP official: Hard days are here, so go out if you can
As early as September 2019, at a sensitive time in the Sino-US trade war, a mysterious recording of a high-ranking official of the Chinese Communist Party was uploaded on the Internet. It is mentioned in the recording that there are three high-level CCP forces fighting. In the future, the CCP regime may restore the planned economic system of that year. By then, all individual private assets will be wiped out. In order to solve the financial crisis, the authorities may issue new currencies to wash out all the underground funds of the powerful.
Several major warnings given by the official have been gradually confirmed so far. For example, he mentioned that the authorities will restore the supply and marketing cooperatives. "In fact, the senior management has made this preparation a long time ago, using the planned economy and ticket economy of unified purchase and marketing to manage the current declining and hard-landing Chinese economy."
Sure enough, in June 2021, the four major departments of the Communist Party of China Supply and Marketing Cooperative, the Central Agricultural Office, the Central Bank, and the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on the Development of the Trinity Trinity of Production, Supply and Marketing, and Credit". The document mentioned that the government will start to promote the pilot economic model of supply and marketing cooperatives in July, and the goal is expected to be completed within two years.
The official also mentioned in the recording that the authorities may have to issue new currency as a last resort, laundering all the funds underground, in order to solve the current problem of insufficient money.
It now appears that the authorities are vigorously promoting digital currency, which is in line with the official’s warning.
The official also said that the CCP is about to adopt a planned economy. By then, individual businesses and private assets will be wiped out. The CCP will take away all the financial resources. It is impossible for private companies to make money anymore.
At present, the Chinese Communist Party seems to be taking similar actions. Recently, the CCP has begun to engage in economic internal circulation, shutting down the country. In the name of anti-monopoly, large technology companies such as Alibaba, Tencent, and Didi Chuxing have been suppressed and harvested. The process of national advancement and national retreat is accelerating.
The above-mentioned officials also issued a warning, "The hard times are here. If you can, go out." And reminded "Don't go to the United States. In the future, there will be an enemy country. If you go there, your property will be confiscated."
As Sino-US relations go further and further away, the above warning seems to be fulfilled. The U.S. government has continuously increased its sanctions against the CCP, and more and more CCP officials and economic entities have been sanctioned. According to relevant U.S. regulations, the sanctioned CCP officials are not only barred from entering the U.S., but their assets in the U.S. are also frozen.
It is currently impossible to know the source and credibility of the above-mentioned recordings. However, the content of the recording is highly consistent with the current situation in China, and the statement is not alarmist. (Click to watch the video)

Nanjing's epidemic is severe, officials scolded for reopening Xuanwu Lake outdoor scenic spot
Reporter : Li Jinfeng / Editor : Li Quan / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2021/07/31/a103178758.html
The epidemic in Nanjing is severe and spread to many provinces at the same time. Under such circumstances, Nanjing has successively reopened the Xuanwu Lake outdoor scenic area that was closed due to the typhoon. This incident detonated the Internet. On 31 July, under the pressure of public opinion, Nanjing announced the closure of all outdoor scenic spots in the city.
On the 31st, at a press conference on epidemic prevention and control in Nanjing. In response to the “opening of the Xuanwu Lake Scenic Area”, Wang Minhong, deputy director of the Nanjing Municipal Culture and Tourism Bureau of the Communist Party of China, said that the Xuanwu Lake Scenic Area, which was rushed to the search The maximum carrying capacity is 50% current limited and open; as of the evening of the 28th, Jiangning, Lishui, Gaochun and other districts have closed all cultural and tourist sites within their jurisdiction, only Zhongshan Cemetery Scenic Area, Xuanwu Lake Scenic Area, Confucian Temple Qinhuai Scenic Belt and Qingliang Mountain The outdoor areas of the 4 scenic spots are open at a current limit of 50% of the maximum carrying capacity.
Wang Minhong also said that in view of the severe epidemic situation in Nanjing, the outdoor parts of all scenic spots in the city have been further suspended from the 31st.
In addition, according to news from Jiangning Public Transport Group, starting from July 31, the city temporarily suspended operation of 116 bus lines.
NTD reporters inquired at noon on the 31st and found that the "Xuanwu Lake Scenic Area Opening" was no longer visible on Weibo, and the search results were "Nanjing Xuanwu Lake Scenic Area responded to the reopening of the park" or "Nanjing Xuanwu Lake reopened within a limited time." The comments and reading volume of the entry "Nanjing Xuanwu Lake will resume opening in a limited time" are also very few. Some netizens also pointed out: "Did this hot search just disappeared suddenly?"
However, when the scenic area was officially opened before, local media reported the incident, “On July 26, the Nanjing Xuanwu Lake Scenic Area was closed due to typhoon "fireworks"; starting on the 29th, due to typhoon, the outdoor area of the scenic area will be opened for a limited time. The opening hours are uniformly adjusted to 6:00-19:00. The pleasure boats, sightseeing vehicles, Lingzhou Ecological Park, Puxian Island Amusement Park, etc. in the park will resume operations."
Although Weibo reduced the popularity of "Xuanwu Lake Scenic Area Opening", many netizens still left messages under the entry "Response", accusing the Nanjing authorities.
"Nanjing citizens are really bad for eight lifetimes. How can they stand up to such an irresponsible government?" "They make it unnecessary to go out when they go home. What is the signal to open Xuanwu Lake? Do you encourage everyone to come out and exercise?" According to the text message request, the residents should be on-line at two o'clock. What does it mean that Xuanwu Lake is open?"
"There is something wrong. At this time, the business that is not closed and opened is crazy for money, really want to swear, and the diagnosis is not announced in time. Instead, it will be announced after a few days, which will make the situation worse. There is no benefit except , The Nanjing government, do you want to retaliate against the society like this... annoyance."
"Keep your eyes open to see how many cases have been diagnosed? The Nanjing government has spread to Zhangjiajie, Beijing, Sichuan, Chongqing, and Changsha, and the heart is still so big? What about the detailed flow? What about access control?" "Nanjing government has a problem, right? What is it doing?”
"The staff of the Bureau of Culture and Tourism said that the Xuanwu Lake scenic area was restored to outdoor opening in compliance with the regulations. It's amazing! Cow! There is nothing to say."
Some netizens said: "The crematorium is closed and the scenic area is open...hahahaha!" "I'm afraid that I can't sleep in Jiangning every day...there is such a thing outside. It's really humorous." "In compliance with the regulations, Wuhan A banquet for a hundred people was held in compliance with the regulations, and it was also in compliance with the regulations for millions of people to go home for the New Year."

After Zhengzhou floods, the covid outbreak, the director of the Health Commission was quickly exempted
Zhengzhou, Henan has just been hit by floods, and now it has exposed the covid epidemic. From 31 July, Zhengzhou City 1 was upgraded to a high-risk area, and 3 was upgraded to a medium-risk area; full-staff nucleic acid testing; closed-loop management of the Sixth People’s Hospital of Zhengzhou, the party secretaries and directors of the hospital and the party Zhengzhou Municipal Health Commission were removed from their job posts.
Based on the official notification from Zhengzhou, Henan Province, at 5 pm on the 30th, a nucleic acid-positive case was found in Erqi District, Zhengzhou City, and the review was also positive.
Since the CCP has always covered up the truth, the outside world has expressed doubts about the number of officially notified cases.
The patient is a pregnant woman, 39-year-old Zhou Mo. The residential address is Guangxing Jieyun Garden Community, No. 14 Huazhong Road, Erqi District.
Since 16 July, Zhou XX has been to the obstetrics department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University (He Hospital District), has also been to a number of restaurants, has been on duty in Zhengzhou No.4 Middle School (Yingbin Campus), has been shopping, Visited the Department of Spine on the first floor of the Outpatient Department of Zhengzhou Orthopedic Hospital and the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine on the second floor of Aixin Hospital in Erqi District. On the 28th, Zhou XX had an abnormal nucleic acid test on the second floor of the Chinese Medicine Department of Aixin Hospital in Erqi District. The nucleic acid test was positive on the 30th and was sent to Zhengzhou Sixth People’s Hospital for isolation and treatment.

Suspected unannounced cases in Zhengzhou, residents prohibited from leaving the city from 31 July 2021
Since the 31st, Zhengzhou Sixth People’s Hospital has been required to implement closed-loop management and cease diagnosis and treatment; all employees of the hospital and all types of service personnel and labor dispatchers who are on shift at home will stay at home and be isolated for 14 days. Since 16 July, all personnel who have been in and out of the Sixth People's Hospital of Zhengzhou need to be quarantined for 14 days.
Starting from the same day, Chunhui Community, Jingguang Road Street, Erqi District, Zhengzhou has been adjusted to a high-risk area for the epidemic; the medium-risk areas are Guangxing Jieyun Garden Community, Jingguang Road Street, Erqi District, Haiyu Garden Community, Changjiang Road Street, Erqi District, No. 36, Zhangweizhai Middle Street, Changjiang Road Street, Erqi District.
The strange thing is that the high-risk area Chunhui Community and the closed Zhengzhou Sixth People’s Hospital in the official notification is neither the declared area of the patient’s residence, nor the hospital where the patient’s previous nucleic acid test was abnormal, let alone the hospital on the 16th. On the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University (He Hospital District), the patient was only sent to the Sixth People's Hospital for treatment on the 30th, and was sent to the hospital when the nucleic acid was known to be positive. Could it be spread throughout the hospital on the same day and extended to the Chunhui community?
NTD reporters found that Zhengzhou Sixth People's Hospital is located at No. 29, Jingguang South Road, Erqi District, Zhengzhou City, in the southwest of the patient's Zhou XX community; Chunhui Community is only adjacent to the Sixth People's Hospital.
The official announcement made it doubtful whether the Sixth People’s Hospital and Chunhui community had other cases that had not been exposed before then.
In particular, Zhengzhou removed Ma Shuhuan, Secretary of the Party Committee of the Sixth People's Hospital of Zhengzhou, and Fu Guirong, Secretary of the Party Group and Director of the Zhengzhou City Health Commission on the 31st, the same day when the outbreak was announced.
Moreover, in the morning of the 31st, at the emergency meeting of the CCP Zhengzhou’s epidemic prevention and control work, Xu Liyi, secretary of the party committee of the city, said that the epidemic spread quickly and was sporadic. In addition to the confirmed cases, multiple suspected cases were found. The prevention and control situation is very serious.
At the same time, the citizens of Zhengzhou are required to have a nucleic acid test for all employees. It is not necessary to leave Zhengzhou, and those who do need to leave Zhengzhou must have a negative certificate of nucleic acid test within 48 hours (negative certificate within 48 hours is required from 6 pm on 31 July 2021).
Zhengzhou notified 11 confirmed cases and 16 asymptomatic infections
In Zhengzhou, Henan Province’s Press Conference for Epidemic Prevention and Control, it was announced as of 6 pm on 31 July, Zhengzhou had found 27 people with abnormal nucleic acid test results, 11 of whom were diagnosed and 16 were asymptomatic infections.
Wang Songqiang, director of the Zhengzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention, informed that the Sixth People's Hospital of Zhengzhou is a designated hospital for foreign inbound covid cases. It reported local cases on 30 July, and the number of reported cases continued to increase. The epidemic mainly occurred inside the hospital, and the people involved included cleaning staff and medical staff, showing a state of local spread. The outbreak of this epidemic has not only adversely affected the control of hospital operations caused by heavy rains, but also exposed a few hospitals that have certain loopholes in implementing control of hospital infections. All localities and units must do a good job in epidemic prevention and control.

It is reported that two confirmed patients in Chongqing recently visited the terracotta warriors in the museum. Netizens ridicule: Terracotta Warriors and Horses also need large-scale nucleic acid testing.
On 30 July, a video posted on the Internet showed that at the Mausoleum Museum of Emperor Qin Shihuang in Lintong, Xi'an, several 120 medical emergency vehicles appeared nearby, some of which were still in the scenic area.
According to Mainland Chinese media's "Jimu News" report, the staff of the Lintong District Hospital in Xi'an confirmed that on the afternoon of the 30th, the emergency department of the hospital sent a number of 120 medical ambulances to the scenic spot of Emperor Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum, but the specific situation is unknown.

Netizens talked, "Who infected the terracotta warriors?"
"This content, people who don't know think that the covi of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses needs a large-scale nucleic acid test."
"Worry for the terracotta warriors and horses! Don't get infected. Do a good job of wearing masks for the terracotta warriors and horses and don't come out.”
"I don't know where the two cases in Chongqing were infected, but I visited the scenic spots in Xi'an. Now Lintong is full of nucleic acids, all attractions are closed, and large-scale events are basically cancelled."
In addition to the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin, the Huaqing Palace scenic spot in Xi'an was also urgently closed on the 30th. The staff said that when it will resume is to be determined.
That night, Xi’an Datang Everbright City Cultural and Commercial Pedestrian Street also announced that various performances in the block and the fountain performances in the North Square of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda will be suspended from now on. The resumption time will be announced separately.
The state of emergency in Xi'an was triggered by two confirmed cases from Chongqing. According to a report from the Chongqing Epidemic Prevention and Control Center on the 30th, the two confirmed cases in Chongqing traveled to Xi'an on the 21st, visiting scenic spots such as the "Datang Everbright City", the Bell Tower and the Drum Tower, and the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum.
On the 24th, the two confirmed cases returned to Chongqing by train. She developed fever on the 26th and did not seek medical treatment, so she self-medicated. The nucleic acid test result was positive on the 29th.

China's epidemic hits Beijing, Changping locks 10 communities overnight
Editor : Wen Hui / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2021/07/31/a103178757.html
Recently, the CCP virus epidemic has continued to spread and has spread to Beijing. From the evening of 28 July to the early morning of the 29th, in Beijing's Changping District alone, the residents of 10 communities were under closed control, with a total number of more than 40,000.
Beijing officials reported on the 29th that there were two new confirmed cases in Beijing, all of whom had returned to Beijing from Zhangjiajie, Hunan. This is Beijing’s first report of a local epidemic in Beijing in the past six months. However, the outside world still questioned the official epidemic data.
In an interview with Epoch Times reporters on the 29th, a doctor in Changping District, Beijing, said that there was indeed an outbreak in Beijing, but the real situation is questionable. He said: "The report said that there were one or two confirmed cases. It (the government) must have said so, but I don't know how much the actual situation is."
The two officially announced confirmed cases live in the second district of Longyueyuan, Huilongguan, Changping District, Beijing. From the evening of the 28th to the early morning of the 29th, about 41,000 people in the second district of Longyueyuan and its surrounding 9 communities were closed and controlled. In principle, people in the streets and units where they are located are not allowed to leave Beijing, and people in high-risk areas are strictly controlled to enter Beijing .
The CCP’s Epidemic Prevention Agency recently notified that the epidemic virus spreading throughout China is the highly contagious Covi72 (a CCP variant virus). It originated at Nanjing Lukou Airport. After the airport’s cleaning staff were infected, the epidemic first occurred in Nanjing. The city spread quickly.
When some people infected with the epidemic in Nanjing travelled to Zhangjiajie, Hunan, they brought the epidemic to the Zhangjiajie tourist area, making the area another hub for the spread of the epidemic and spreading across the country.
The Chinese Communist Party officially notified that as of 29 July, the epidemic has affected at least eight provinces including Liaoning, Jiangsu, Guangdong, Anhui, Sichuan, Hunan, and Beijing.
However, Mainland Chinese media's Peng Mei News reported on the same day that the reporter of the media, after combing through the circulation information notified by the health committees of various places, found that in the past 10 days, the local epidemic and related cases in Nanjing have passed through 16 provinces and 32 cities. The spread chain is still overflowing.
With the rapid spread of the epidemic in China, there are public concerns that Nanjing and Zhangjiajie may become the dual outbreak centers of the epidemic in China. If they cannot be effectively controlled, the outbreak of the epidemic in China may face even more severe tests than the outbreak in Wuhan.
The Chinese-made vaccines did not play a big role in this outbreak. According to the latest official data from the Communist Party of China, more than 1.6 billion doses of vaccines have been administered in mainland China. However, according to the reports of the mainland people, most of the confirmed patients have already been vaccinated with domestic vaccines.
A Nanjing resident recently revealed to Radio Free Asia that “over 90% of the people infected in Nanjing have been vaccinated (China)” and said bluntly that “this vaccine is really useless”.
Zhang Wenhong, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University in Shanghai, posted on Weibo on 29 July that both the Nanjing epidemic and the previous Guangzhou epidemic were infected after being vaccinated in China. He admitted that Chinese vaccines can only "slow down the spread" and "reduce the fatality rate" to a certain extent, but it may not be possible to "clear" the diagnosis or "eradicate the epidemic".

Following the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and other countries, China's infiltration of French universities and scientific research institutions to exert influence has also attracted the attention of French politicians. The French Senate has launched an investigation into the influence of non-European powers on French universities and academia. The subjects of the investigation include China, Turkey, and Persian Gulf countries. The relevant hearings have officially started, and the investigation report is planned to be submitted in September.
The chairman of the investigation team and Republican Senator Blanc (Étienne Blanc) pointed out that the investigation team will examine the “various practices” of non-European governments’ Research is instrumentalized, or put pressure on overseas students and teachers.
Blanc emphasized that the purpose of the investigation is to "clarify that certain countries deliberately abuse the values of freedom and scientific integrity of French universities in order to achieve the purpose of interfering in politics or possibly interfering in French national sovereignty."
The French Republican Advance (LREM!) Senator and Vice Chairman of the European Affairs Committee, André Gattolin, who serves as the special rapporteur of the investigation team, pointed out that China should be the focus of the investigation, because Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany and other countries have successively submitted related reports but in France, government ministries or agencies rarely submit such reports to initiate debate. In addition, surveys, interviews, and suggestions on other topics may be extended, such as how to restrain CCP's influence.
Cattolan pointed out that, for example, Confucius Institutes or so-called talent recruitment centers, China has facilitated many Chinese students to come to work in China-funded laboratories, or establish cooperative relations, because French universities must resolve funding problems after they become independent, or have to deal with foreign countries. Universities have established partnerships, and China has been able to take advantage of the emptiness to enter. Although there are many unresolved problems, China has established cooperative relations in a thunderous manner, making it impossible for the relevant departments to strictly control them.
Cattolan emphasized that the operation of the Confucius Institute is not only an environment for learning Chinese or cognition of Chinese culture, but also an influential mechanism. Within the university, and even in the research ecology of strategy or technology, it is important for research institutions to universities. Even the research inclination of the researcher, the travel funding, or the preconditions for cooperation must be strictly checked. For example, are conditions imposed when providing research funding for doctoral dissertations? Under what premise are the research papers published?
Cattolan stated that the investigation team is trying to understand how academic freedom in democratic countries is confused by the aforementioned problems, or how scientific or human sociology researchers are manipulated by some collaborators. "Our goal is to protect academic freedom in universities. Which countries have had an impact on French academic freedom through which channels, and proposed ideal practices, and even suggested that certain areas must be checked by legislative bodies."

Reporter : Jing Zhongming / Editor : Xu Gengwen / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2021/07/30/a103178352.html
A few days ago, Hou Zhihui, a 49-kilogram gold medalist in the Tokyo Olympic Games and a mainland Chinese athlete, was accused of being too masculine in appearance and physical characteristics, triggering international discussions. In addition, the Chinese women's basketball team, which has set up a three-person basketball for the Olympic Games, has also been questioned as "male disguised as a woman."
Liao Mengxue and Tong Zenghuan, both Chinese women's track and field athletes in Hunan, who had been questioned in the early years, were once again taken out by netizens to stir up. The two "women" were accused of being male-like in body shape, appearance and voice, and suspected of cheating. As early as 2019, the South Korean media ridiculed Chinese athletes for "no distinction between men and women", and even Chinese netizens expressed doubts.
Korean media questioned the screenshot of the report on the gender of Liao Mengxue and Tong Zenghuan.
Recently, Liao Mengxue and Tong Zenghuan have once again become the focus of public opinion because of the gender issue of the Chinese Olympic female athletes. Some netizens and the media also tried to collect information published by him in his early years on the Internet, questioning his true gender.
Some netizens questioned the Chinese Communist government's fraud for the competition results. Some netizens also believe that some Chinese female athletes have obvious male characteristics, which may be caused by taking male hormones for many years to increase their physical fitness. They criticized the CCP for ruining the life of female athletes in order to win medals. It is believed that for many years, the CCP has politicized sports and regarded the creation of a "sports power" as one of the capitals to declare the legitimacy of its rule.

On 30 July, Hong Kong female swimmer He Shibei (Siobhan Haughey) set another Asian record and won the silver medal in the Olympic 100-meter freestyle final. He Shibei, who was born and raised in Hong Kong, played in the Tokyo Olympics and was enthusiastically sought after by the general public of Hong Kong. When she won silver, some people even disputed her identity. Some scholars believe that Hong Kong people are expressing their resistance to the power of the government by supporting Hong Kong athletes and repelling the Chinese team.
In the morning of 30 July, Japan local time, in the final of the Tokyo Olympic Women's 100m Freestyle Event, He Shibei, known as the "female flying fish" of Hong Kong, broke the Asian record again with a time of 52.27 seconds and won the silver medal for Hong Kong. Prior to this, He Shibei had already won the silver medal in the women's 200m freestyle event, breaking the Asian record with 1:53.92, thus becoming the first person in Hong Kong history to win two consecutive medals.
He Shibei said in a meeting with the Hong Kong media after the competition that it was not easy for her to get a medal in the Olympics. Without the support of coaches, teammates, family members and Hong Kong citizens, she would not have achieved today's results. She said, "Because I was born in Hong Kong and grew up in Hong Kong, it is a very glorious thing to be able to represent Hong Kong in the competition, so that everyone can unite and win glory for Hong Kong."
According to a report by Radio Free Asia, although the time of He Shibei's competition coincided with Hong Kong's working hours, it did not diminish Hong Kong people's enthusiasm for supporting Hong Kong athletes. Many shopping malls have a large number of people watching the live broadcast of the event. Why Shibei cheer.
However, during the period, a dispute occurred unexpectedly. Some media reported that when a shopping mall broadcasted He Shibei’s 100-meter freestyle final on the 30th, spectators holding the Chinese Communist Party’s five-star flag and the Hong Kong regional flag shouted that He Shibei was Chinese, and other Hong Kong citizens chanted on the spot, "Support the slogan of Hong Kong for confrontation". This is not the only incident that reflects the conflict between Hong Kong's local sentiment and Chinese identity since the start of the Tokyo Olympics.

Hong Kong Olympic player worn black, politician cursed him
According to public information, Ng Ka-Lang defeated a Mexican player in the Olympic men's badminton singles group match held on the 24th. At that time, he was wearing a sports suit with the full black front and the initials and HONG KONG CHINA printed on the back. There was no Hong Kong regional flag logo on the whole suit. Since most of the young people who participated in the "anti-send" parade two years ago were dressed in black, the event that Wu Jialang wore a black jersey without a regional flag to participate in the competition caused controversy and was attacked by public opinion from the Hong Kong establishment.
DAB member Mu Jiajun once posted on Facebook, “If you don’t want to represent Hong Kong, please choose to retire!” As a result, Mu Jiajun’s Facebook account was immediately punished by Hong Kong netizens and was asked to apologize to Ng Ka-Lang.
Huang Guojian, vice chairman of the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions, also said in an interview with the Hong Kong media that some critics of Ng Ka-Lang wearing black jersey were "excessively sensitive" and he believed that critics should apologize to the athletes.
The head of the Hong Kong delegation for the Tokyo Olympics, Bei Junqi, declared through the media that Ng Ka-Lang’s costumes had been checked by the referee in advance and were allowed to comply with the rules of the competition. He hoped that athletes’ costumes would not be politicized.
As of now, Mu Jiajun's Facebook page has been unable to display the page.
In response to the above phenomenon, Zhong Jianhua, deputy chief executive of the Hong Kong Institute of Public Opinion, told Radio Free Asia that in international sports competitions, it is a consistent practice for people to support sports representatives in their places of residence. In recent years, the conflicts between China and Hong Kong have intensified. After Hong Kong has experienced social movements and official suppression of civil opposition, Hong Kong people’s emotions cannot be vented. Therefore, during the Olympic Games this year, Hong Kong people supported the Hong Kong representative or rejected the Chinese team to show resistance to the CCP.
Zhong Jianhua said, “Beijing authorities want to suppress Hong Kong’s local emotions, so many actions that can be done in the past were not allowed, so that more people intend to express a strong dislike for the Hong Kong team through the Olympics. Compared with the past this year, the situation is particularly obvious."
In response to the Hong Kong police investigating the "Hush National Anthem" incident, Zhong Jianhua said that Hong Kong society has been full of negative emotions because it is unable to express opinions through demonstrations. If the authorities use high-pressure methods to deal with related incidents, it will only lead to a vicious circle, produce counter-effects and intensify the antagonism between Hong Kong citizens and the Hong Kong government.
