The newly elected President of South Korea, Yoon Suk-yeol, will officially take office on 10 May 2022. He is now planning the "No. 1 Project" for the relocation of the Presidential Palace, and plans to lay off 30% of the staff of the Presidential Palace. The Second Affiliated Office of the Assistant President's Wife was abolished, and the organization and personnel were streamlined to break the inherent impression of South Korea's "imperial presidential system".

According to South Korea's "Chosun Ilbo" report on 11 March 12022, South Korean President-elect Yoon Suk-yeol is discussing the plan to move the presidential palace and use the Prime Minister's Office in the government's Seoul Office Building in Gwanghwamun, Seoul as the president's office to fulfill his election promises.

According to the report, Yoon Suk-yeol decided to set up a "Special Committee for the Relocation of the Gwanghwamun Office Building (tentative name)" in the upcoming presidential office transfer committee, and one of the first tasks of the transfer committee ("Project 1") is to transfer the office of the president by moving from Blue House to Gwanghwamun in the centre of Seoul. The prime minister's office may be relocated to a government building in Gwacheon, Gyeonggi-do.

Yoon Suk-yeol hopes to work in Gwanghwamun on the first day of his inauguration, and his own house will also be moved along with it, and he may move to Samcheongdong not far from Gwanghwamun.

Yoon Suk-yeol had promised early in the campaign that once elected president, he would not work at the Blue House but at the government building in Gwanghwamun. At that time, the Blue House, where the original presidential palace is located, will be open to the public.

At the same time, Yoon Suk-yeol also promised to abolish the chief secretary, the chief civil affairs office, and the second subsidiary office to assist the president's wife, so as to reduce the staff of the Blue House by 30%. That is to say, while reducing the staff of the Blue House, the presidential office, secretary office, security office, etc. can be moved to the government office building in Seoul.

According to Yoon Suk-yeol and South Korean media, the Blue House has become a symbol of South Korea's "imperial presidential system", hindering South Korea's political reform process.

In fact, Yoon Suk-yeol is not the first president-elect to propose to work in Gwanghwamun. After being elected president in 2017, Moon Jae-in also said that he would move the presidential palace to Gwanghwamun and become the "Gwanghwamun President". The Blue House, where the current presidential palace is located, will be transformed into a leisure space for citizens. However, the promise has not been implemented due to issues such as security issues and the cost of expanding the security system.

However, Yoon Suk-yeol was very firm on this. His cronies said, "Yoon Seok-yul has repeatedly confirmed to the staff whether the office can be moved out during the election campaign, and his will is very strong."

After conducting practical discussions on the presidential palace guards and protocol, Yoon Suk-yeol came to the conclusion that the relocation plan of the presidential palace is "completely achievable".

According to South Korean government officials, the renovation cost of the government building is estimated to be around 5 billion Won (about 4 million U.S. Dollars).

Yoon Suk-yeol recently defeated the ruling party candidate Lee Jae-myung by a narrow margin and was elected as the next South Korean president. He is the first president without parliamentary experience since the implementation of democratic elections in South Korea. As a relative "political amateur", he won the presidential election after only 8 months in politics.

He won the hearts of the people in many ways, and he was also accused of pandering to the growing anti-communist sentiment in South Korea. In terms of foreign policy, Yoon Seok-yul advocates a tougher stance on North Korea and the CCP, and advocates reducing dependence on CCP China.

At the same time, Yoon Suk-yeol advocates improving ties with the United States, including rebuilding the South Korea-US security alliance and cooperating with Washington on semiconductors, nuclear power and other cutting-edge technologies.

According to India's Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA), India re-opens its air borders and allows commercial flights to land in Indian airports from 27 March 2022.

Scheduled international flight services have been suspended in India since 23 March 2020 due to the pandemic.

However, special international flights have been operating between India and 37 countries since July 2020 under air bubble arrangements.

Dr. Peter McCullough: Findings from early covid vaccine studies potentially alarming

Reporter : Beth Brelje, The Epoch Times PREMIUM

How safe are COVID-19 vaccines? Should everyone be taking them? Are people who get vaccines more likely to get COVID-19? Can genetic material in the vaccines be incorporated into the human genome? These are some of the unknown questions that researchers around the world are currently investigating.

With more initial findings and hypotheses now released to the public, a group of free speech and information advocates last week during a presentation in Pennsylvania gave their “uncensored” take of the current science. They are currently traveling around the United States sharing concerns about how public health policy and debate throughout the COVID-19 pandemic has been handled.

The speakers were Dr. Peter McCullough, a renowned cardiologist whose own research is highly-cited; Dr. Bryan Ardis, a chiropractor; attorney Thomas Renz; and Steve Kirsch, a Silicon Valley philanthropist who supported early efforts searching for COVID-19 treatments in medicines already on the market. They were invited by the “Lions for Liberty,” a group of Penn State University students, faculty, and staff that sprang up in response to the university’s pandemic mitigation policies that require employees to get vaccinated for COVID-19.

The four spoke on numerous occasions; at Toftrees Resort in State College on March 3 and at Hershey Lodge on March 4 before which they testified at the Capitol Building in Harrisburg in a hearing hosted by state Sen. Doug Mastriano, who is a Republican running for governor.

They presented data from peer-reviewed studies, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and government documents, and expressed their concerns that the COVID-19 vaccines recommended for all Americans were problematic from the start.

“It was clear vaccines weren’t sufficiently tested and important groups were excluded, like pregnant women,” McCullough said in Hershey. “With no data on safety and efficacy, pregnant women were encouraged, then later forced, to take the vaccines.”

He called the results of a newly released study disturbing. The study, titled  “Immune imprinting, breadth of variant recognition, and germinal center response in human SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination,” shows that messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) from the vaccine stays in the body much longer than expected. Messenger RNA is a single-stranded molecule that carries genetic code, usually from the DNA in a cell’s nucleus, to ribosomes, the cell’s protein-making area.

“It shows the messenger RNA is in the lymph nodes months after the vaccine had been received. This is proven,” McCullough said. “The vaccines are not leaving the body. It’s found in the lymph nodes at 60 days. The thought in the FDA briefing book was that these vaccines were going to be in the body for a day or two, generate immunity, and then be out.”

He cited another paper published in February by a team of researchers led by Associate Prof. Yang De Marinis at the Department of Clinical Sciences of Lund University, Sweden, that shows “reverse transcription” is happening—that is, an enzyme makes a copy of DNA from RNA.

“This is getting into human chromosomes, at least this segment is. If it turns out that the entire code goes into human chromosomes, and if it expresses spike protein within cells—spike protein is an abnormal protein, it is not a human protein— if this protein is expressed within human cells on a regular basis or on demand, and it’s passed from parent cells to daughter cells, and it’s passed to the developing embryo, we’re in trouble.”

Now, the race is on to confirm this finding with additional studies, McCullough said.

“On the CDC website, it says the vaccines don’t change the human genome. This paper that just broke in the last week is strongly suggesting the CDC was gravely wrong,” McCullough said. “We should have had monthly safety reports to America. If we’re going to ask Americans to take an experimental vaccine or investigational vaccine, there should have been a safety report.”

Coming out of the clinical trials, what was reported in the briefing booklet looked OK, McCullough said. Through October, over 220 million people took a vaccine.

The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) has now recorded as many as 24,000 reports of people dying shortly after taking a COVID-19 vaccine, over 34,000 reports of myocarditis or pericarditis after taking a vaccine, and 44,000 reports from people permanently disabled with a host of conditions after taking a vaccine. These reports, which can be made by any member of the public, have yet to be definitively linked to COVID-19 vaccines and further research is needed to quantify the risk.

Now, a new study in The Lancet is pointing to potential multi-inflammatory syndrome in COVID-19 vaccinated children, McCullough said. “Some kids are on ventilators. These were perfectly healthy kids and now they’re on the ventilator fighting for their life.”

State Legislation

During the hearing in Harrisburg, a number of COVID-related bills were mentioned.

Mastriano is the prime sponsor of Senate Bill 471, dubbed the Medical Freedom Act, which proposed that the state government shall not impose a vaccination requirement on adults or children without consent. It also proposed to make it illegal for the government to mandate employers to require vaccination of their staff and ensures unemployment compensation for unvaccinated workers. The bill moved out of the Health and Human Services Committee in November, committee chair state Sen. Michele Brooks said at the hearing. She also advocated for her own legislation, Senate Bill 937, which prohibits the state from requiring COVID-19 vaccines for students in kindergarten through grade 12. It is now in the House Education Committee, Brooks said.

A companion bill, SB 1091/HB 1741 would increase access to off-label FDA approved medications in the early stages of COVID-19. This would allow physicians and pharmacists to prescribe and dispense drugs already approved by the FDA for off-label treatment of COVID-19, without penalty from licensing boards. And it would clarify that a pharmacy may not decline to fill a prescription of a COVID-19 early treatment drug based solely on their opinion of the drug. Mastriano is the prime sponsor of this Senate bill and Rep. Dawn Keefer sponsors the House version.

Ardis made a plea to lawmakers at the hearing on behalf of doctors.

The epidemic spreads to more than 20 provinces and cities, and the CCP's iron fist is cleared to attract public complaints

Reporter : Yi Ru, Tony / Editor : Meng Xinqi / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2022/03/09/a103369038.html

During the two sessions of the Communist Party of China, the local epidemic situation in China continued to heat up. According to official data, the number of newly confirmed cases in a single day in the past two days has hit a record high in the past two years. At the same time, the CCP's so-called "dynamic clearing" of the epidemic prevention policy has also aroused more and more people's dissatisfaction.

On 8 March, the National Health Commission of the Communist Party of China reported that there were 175 new local confirmed cases and 330 local asymptomatic infections in China, involving more than 20 provinces and cities including Jilin, Guangdong, Shandong, Jiangsu, Shanghai, and Zhejiang. The day before, the National Health Commission announced that there were 526 new confirmed cases in a single day. Among them, there were 214 local cases, the highest number of newly confirmed cases in a single day in the past two years.

Because the CCP is accustomed to concealing the truth of the epidemic, the outside world has generally doubted that the actual number of infected people may be higher than the official data.

Mr. Cheng, a resident of Shenzhen: "I don't know what I'm doing. There are dozens of cases in my town. We have to do nucleic acid every day here, and do it once a day. If you don't go, he will get a yellow code. To you, China is like this, it is the most difficult, and it is useless at all."

The CCP's "one-size-fits-all" isolation policy has made people quite dissatisfied.

Mr. Cheng said, "Now the Chinese government uses that code to travel, and it turns your code into red. If you use a red code to take a bus, people on the bus will be taken to quarantine. Yes, don't say the red ones, the yellow ones have to be taken to quarantine. So it's too much, there is no humanity at all, the CCP government is implementing these quarantine policies."

As of the 8th, CCP China has 11 high-risk areas and 149 medium-risk areas. Among them, four districts in Shanghai are listed as medium-risk areas and require closed management.

Ms. Wang, a resident of Jing'an District, Shanghai, said, "The epidemic in Shanghai has been very severe recently. It's blooming everywhere. It's very serious. Many communities have been closed. They all queue up overnight in the community for nucleic acid testing. The nucleic acid test is not once, but twice, three or four times. , because the detection accuracy rate is not very high, anyway, many communities are closed, and the situation is quite serious."

A number of Shanghai residents have told NTDTV that Shanghai has been particularly tense recently, and the quarantine and inspection of various communities is very strict.

Ms. Gao, a resident of Minhang District, Shanghai: "Many communities have been closed. You, like our Minhang District, closed 66 communities. In some communities, he found out that this community had contact with people who had positive virus based on big data. As long as the community he has been in contact with is blocked, he does not necessarily have the virus in this community."

Repeated large-scale nucleic acid testing has made people miserable.

Ms. Wang said, "He's all mandatory. If you don't do it, you may have to take measures against you. All police cars come to your door. He wants you to do nucleic acid or something. You can't do it if you don't go. Isolation is not voluntary, it must be forced, there is no way."

During the recent two sessions of the Communist Party of China, Chinese President Xi Jinping put forward new goals for epidemic prevention and control, requiring "to maintain the bottom line of preventing a large-scale rebound of the epidemic", but now that the epidemic has broken out in many provinces, the outside world has questioned this extreme "clearing" policy is it effective.

Mr. Li, a resident of Haidian District, Beijing, said, "He said that the clearing is to use that kind of measure. In fact, it can't be done. This one just finished, the other came again, and the last one came again, and now it's spreading more and more."

The extreme "zero-Covid policy" has also drawn criticism from the public.

Mr. Cheng said, "Anyway, if those areas are sealed, you are not allowed to go out. The whole family is sealed. Yes, every door is sealed. Even if he doesn't seal your door, you dare not go out. If you go out, someone will arrest people, and the government is indeed going too far."

Mr. Cheng, a Shenzhen resident, disclosed that for the so-called epidemic prevention, even the container truck drivers who came to Shenzhen from Hong Kong were followed by the local government.

Mr. Cheng said, "There are some container trucks in Hong Kong pulling goods over. He asked us to take a taxi from Shenzhen. He sealed all the doors of the cab of the Hong Kong car, and did not let the driver get off the taxi. People called the police and arrested those driving in Hong Kong."

Antonio Graceffo, an economics professor and China analyst, pointed out that the CCP's so-called "zero-Covid" policy is destroying the Chinese economy and causing the people to suffer.

Australia's intelligence chief: CCP is heading for authoritarianism and wants to replace the United States
Reporter : Li Ru / Speaking at a business summit organised by The Australian Financial Review on March 9, 2022, Director of National Intelligence Andrew Shearer warned that the Chinese Communist Party is heading towards authoritarianism under Xi Jinping, seeking to replace the US and dominate Indo-Pacific region.

Australia's top intelligence chief has warned that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), under Xi Jinping, is heading for autocracy/authoritarianism, trying to replace the United States and dominate the Indo-Pacific region. He also said CCP China's "disturbing" strategic cooperation with Russia would pose a new threat to liberal democracies such as Australia.
On 9 March, Director of National Intelligence Andrew Shearer spoke on Australia's strategic outlook at a business summit organised by The Australian Financial Review.
Shearer said CCP's move toward authoritarianism under Xi Jinping was partly due to China's attempt to replace the United States as a "global power."
"This is the U.S. intelligence community's assessment of China's (CCP) intentions, and this is our assessment of China's (CCP) intentions."
"We are seeing a leader (Xi Jinping) who is suppressing his country in order to surpass the United States as the world's number one power," he said.
"China's political leadership is increasingly consolidating its power, exercising control over all aspects of Chinese society and national life -- over the economy, Chinese companies, the security services, the military, public opinion, an order of magnitude," said Shearer. Incredible concentration of power."
Shearer further explained that the CCP's achievement of a base beyond the United States is to establish a dominant position in the Indo-Pacific region.
"In this case, other countries in the region (in the whole of Southeast Asia, in the whole of the Pacific), including Australia, have to submit to Beijing's choice."
Shearer said Australia "faces an increasingly assertive China."
Shearer said Australia needed to respond to the deteriorating strategic environment by "strengthening" its economic and political system against coercion and foreign interference.
He said Australia was building like-minded partnerships with a growing number of countries to address the issue.
On 15 September 2021, U.S. President Biden, British Prime Minister Johnson and Australian Prime Minister Morrison announced the establishment of the "AUKUS" tripartite partnership, which aims to assist Australia in developing nuclear-powered submarines to enhance the security strength of the Indo-Pacific region.
Just last week (4 March), the Quad, which is seen as a bulwark against China, held an emergency video conference. Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, U.S. President Joe Biden, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida pledged to maintain a rules-based international order in the Indo-Pacific that will not tolerate military, economic and political coercion.
Shearer said Australia's alliance with like-minded countries "enables Australia to take a stand, defend the world order and contain some of China's more arbitrary behaviour".

The Quartet Security Dialogue and Europe need to join forces to counter dictatorships
Shearer also said in the half-hour speech and dialogue that Beijing's strategic cooperation with Russia threatens the liberal democratic world, and called on the Quad and Europe to join forces to counter the dictatorship.
"We see Vladimir Putin actively reshaping the security order in Europe," he said.
Putin struck a series of strategic agreements with China before ordering the military to invade Ukraine.
The CCP Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on 4 February that Putin signed 15 cooperation documents with Beijing during his attendance at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics. The agreements span satellite navigation, crude oil, natural gas, information and digital technology and trade.
Shearer said the agreements were a "symbol" of a "disturbing new strategic convergence" between Beijing and Moscow.
"We're seeing more and more joining forces between these authoritarian powers."
"This tells us we're going to have to work harder to maintain the freedom of the rules-based order in Europe and the Indo-Pacific."
Democracies are concerned not only with balancing CCP's ballooning military power, he said, but also with ensuring that global rules governing new technologies favour democracies rather than autocracies.
"We cannot win this battle on our own. Not even America can win this battle on their own."
"But the US, Australia, India, Japan, plus the enormous power of Europe, will do something to fight back some authoritarianism."

Philippines plans to open entry to all countries in April
According to the Philippine World Journal, on 10 March 2022, Minister of Tourism Puyat said that the Philippines hopes to welcome all foreigners to enter the country without quarantine in April 2022. Since the reopening of borders to 157 visa-free countries last month, 73,178 travelers have entered, Puyat said.
She said: "We hope that by April we will open [the border] to all foreigners, the reason why we start with visa-free countries, which is also the advice of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, come little by little. Because they have to open consulates all over the world. , I hope it will be approved (open to visitors from all countries) and we will be able to accept travelers in April."
The World Travel and Tourism Council summit will be held locally from 20 to 22 April, during which it will host about 600 tourism and trade ministers and executives from related business circles, Puyat said. "This summit is really timely because Asia is the last region to reopen for tourism, and it will start with the Philippines," she said.
Regarding the loosening of epidemic prevention controls on entry, Puyat pointed out that the Philippines requires fully vaccinated travelers to only present a test report with a negative RT-PCR test within 48 hours before arrival.
"We're also proposing an antigen test within 24 hours to replace a negative RT-PCR test 48 hours earlier, and we want to make it easier for inbound visitors to make it easier for people who have recovered from the virus," she said. The person meets the entry requirements, using RT-PCR, you may test positive within the next 3 months, antigen test negative, (test result) of course from a laboratory, which can indicate that your test result is negative and has recovered."

Trump's private jet makes emergency landing due to engine failure

A plane carrying the 45th U.S. President Donald Trump suffered an engine failure from over the Gulf of Mexico on Saturday night in the U.S. state of Louisiana, a person familiar with the matter confirmed on Wednesday. The southern port city of New Orleans made an emergency landing.

According to Reuters and other reports, the person familiar with the matter said that the Dassault Falcon 900 took off about 120 kilometers from the New Orleans airport before returning to the city. Other passengers included Secret Service agents, support staff and some of Trump's advisers.

The engine failure occurred shortly before 11 p.m. local time on Saturday as the former president was flying from New Orleans on a donor's private jet to his Mar-a-Lago mansion in Florida, people familiar with the matter said. 

The FAA referred the issue to the U.S. Secret Service, which said that, in fact, the Secret Service does not discuss who we are protecting. A Trump representative also did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the incident.

The plane took Trump from a New Orleans hotel to his home in Palm Beach, Florida, where he spoke to Republican donors at a private event, the person said. The plane belonged to a donor who lent it to the former president at night, and Trump's advisers obtained another donor's plane to bring him back to Florida.

Trump had been in New Orleans, speaking to top Republican donors at a private gathering at the Four Seasons hotel. Donald Trump said the pilot returned to the departure airport about 20-30 minutes after his private jet took off from New Orleans when an engine problem occurred while the plane was flying over the Gulf of Mexico.

After the emergency landing, Trump's team was given access to another donor's private jet, which the former president took on, landing in Palm Beach around 3 a.m. Sunday. The incident was first reported by Politico and The Washington Post on Wednesday.

Pfizer's covi vaccine exposes thousands of side effects, mainland experts are silent

As the world focuses on the Russian-Ukrainian war, on 1 March 2022, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released a Pfizer covi vaccine data file, which mentioned up to 1,291 side effects, including kidney injury, acute flaccid myelitis, brain stem embolism, cardiac arrest, hemorrhagic encephalitis, etc. However, the strange thing is that this explosive news does not seem to have attracted much attention.
According to the documents, there were more than 40,000 abnormal cases after receiving the Pfizer covi vaccine. In the 38-page chapter "Cumulative Analysis of Post-Authorization Abnormal Event Reports", it is stated that as of 28 February 2021, a total of 42,086 cases of abnormal events after vaccination were received, involving 158,893 abnormal events, most of which were cases from the UK, US, Germany, France, Portugal and Spain, while the remaining cases were from 56 different countries.
The average age of the victims in these cases was 50.9 years old, 29,914 were women (71.1%), 9,182 were men (21.8%), and the rest were unknown; 1,223 of them died (2.9%), 19,582 recovered and were recovering (46.5%), 520 people have recovered but have sequelae (1.2%).
The most reported abnormal events included headache (24.1%), fever (18.2%), fatigue (17.4%), chills (13.1%), pain at the vaccination site (12.3%), nausea (12.3%), muscle pain ( 11.7%) and so on. Among them, 4.6% of abnormal cases were diagnosed after vaccination.
According to the U.S. government's "Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System", from mid-December 2020 to 18 February 2022, a total of 1,134,984 adverse events were reported after vaccination against pneumonia, of which 24,402 died. In addition, there were 4,021 cases of myocarditis and pericarditis in the United States, of which 2,475 were Comirnaty-related, 1,364 were Moderna-related and 171 were J&J-related. These included 643 reports of myocarditis and pericarditis in children aged 12 to 17 years.
In addition, LifeSiteNews quoted Israeli media in its news on March 1 to disclose that Israel, one of the most active countries in the world for vaccination and one of the countries with the most boosters, also experienced a situation. An informal private telephone survey conducted by the Ministry of Health from September to October last year found that 66% of those who received booster injections had at least one side effect; 50% had side effects that affected their daily activities; 10% of women had menstrual disorders; 0.5% had to be hospitalized. Surveys show that side effects are more common in women and young adults. Israel is mainly fighting the Pfizer vaccine.
Also in February, a report issued by a German medical insurance company showed that the actual data on adverse reactions to vaccines were many times higher than those disclosed by the German government. The company analyzed more than 10.9 million policyholders, and from the beginning of 2021 to the middle of the third quarter, a total of about 217,000 people were treated for vaccine side effects. The main adverse reactions were post-vaccination sepsis, rash, vaccine or bioactive complications, and other symptoms. The German Ministry of Health recorded data for the total population of 61.4 million, and only recorded less than 245,000 adverse reactions to the vaccine in 14 months.
Mr. Schoffbeck, CEO of the insurance company, said that from the data recorded in the insurance policy, the number of medical visits for adverse reactions caused by the vaccine may have reached 3 million. The Germans played the mRNA vaccine jointly developed by Pfizer-BioNTech and the mRNA vaccine of the American company Moderna.
Likewise, the latest report from American Life Insurance noted that the death rate among adults aged 18 to 64 has skyrocketed by 40% compared with pre-pandemic levels, and that short- and long-term disability claims have also risen sharply.
At present, most of the American Vaccine Safety Research Foundation, vaccine inventors and medical statisticians believe that the main culprit for the above-mentioned large-scale health disaster is the experimental "novel coronavirus (CCP virus, covi)" vaccine, which was first launched in 2021.
Judging from the above data and survey reports, many people have experienced serious side effects from vaccination. Obviously, such data, causing such harm to people, is undoubtedly explosive, which explains why the FDA and Pfizer previously wanted to keep the data secret for 75 years, but under the judgment of a Texas judge, it had to be made public.
Under FDA rules, the trial ends if there is one death within 30 days of receiving an experimental drug. However, at least 1,223 people have died from the Pfizer vaccine, data show. So why hasn't it been terminated? Whose responsibility is it? Pfizer? FDA? Or something else?
It is not difficult to speculate that with the great exposure of vaccine side effects, the accountability of the people of various countries to vaccine companies and government departments will come sooner or later. What about China?
Surprisingly, after the thousands of side effects of Pfizer's vaccine were exposed, not only did the CCP official have no comment, for example, at the press conference of the joint prevention and control mechanism of the CCP's State Council, the leader of the vaccine research and development working group and the national Zheng Zhongwei, director of the Medical and Health Science and Technology Development Research Center of the National Health Commission, has disappeared at the moment, and even the experts of the CCP's royal family, such as Zhong Nanshan and Zhang Wenhong, remain silent. What is the reason behind this?
This is because they are well aware that although the vaccines such as Sinovac CoronaVac and Sinopharm used by the Chinese are inactivated vaccines, which are different from those in Europe and the United States, they also have many side effects and even cause death.
In the past two years, under the CCP’s network blockade, several cases of side effects and deaths of Chinese people after vaccination have been exposed. Last year, there was a Weibo post on the Internet that collected some of the “accidents after domestic vaccine injections” exposed on Weibo, the second of which stated that many people got acute leukemia because some vaccines were inactivated with formaldehyde. The other side effects exposed after vaccination include: vitiligo, sudden deafness, menstrual changes, cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction, cerebral thrombosis, stable diabetes and kidney disease, acute renal failure, urticaria, convulsions, fainting, coma, sudden death, etc. These symptoms are somewhat consistent with Western vaccines.

Cases of sudden deaths from Sinovac and other CCP covi vaccines keep mushrooming
The exposed deaths include: Last year, a 33-year-old man was given the CanSino vaccine on 19 June and died suddenly on 16 July 2021; a 12-year-old child died after being given the vaccine; a netizen's younger brother was vaccinated on 8 February.On 24 March, he entered a severe condition with 0 platelets, cerebral hemorrhage, and later died; the father of one netizen and the mother of another netizen also died after being vaccinated; in September, a pilot of Shanghai Airlines was suspected of being vaccinated. After he was inoculated with a CCP covi vaccine, he died suddenly in the cockpit during the flight; the principal of a high school in Baise, Guangxi died suddenly after receiving the vaccine... Of course, there are many cases of sudden death such as cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction that were not recorded on the vaccine head.
What embarrassing the CCP is that although more than 1.1 billion Chinese people have received two shots of the vaccine, the outbreaks at home and abroad are telling people that the vaccines highly recommended by the CCP’s experts and overseas vaccines that are considered to be more effective than domestic ones are fundamentally impossible to prevent the infection of the CCP virus, and it cannot prevent severe illness or even death, because there is no necessary connection between whether to vaccinate and whether to isolate, whether to lock down the city, or whether the infection spreads and spreads seriously.
In this regard, the CCP authorities and CCP experts have long been aware of this, because the biggest purpose of their vigorous promotion of vaccines and even mandatory nucleic acid testing is to profiteer. According to the British "Guardian" report, Comirnaty earned nearly $37 billion in sales last year, making it one of the most profitable products in history. The profits of the CCP vaccine company will never be less. Not long ago, CCP insiders accidentally disclosed that nucleic acid testing has earned 670 billion RMB. Naturally, it is conceivable that vaccine companies will never be resigned.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand the reasons why the Chinese authorities and royal experts have remained silent about so many side effects exposed by Pfizer's vaccine. Just do they really think they will not be held accountable one day?

Taiwan National Security Bureau: The CCP military plane crashed in the South China Sea, using exercises to cover up search and rescue

The National Security Bureau of the Republic of China issued a written report disclosing that a CCP military plane crashed into the South China Sea in March, and used military exercises to conduct search and rescue. It was also reported earlier that the CCP Y-8 anti-submarine plane crashed in the South China Sea.
On 10 March  2022, the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee of the National Court of the Republic of China convened all relevant institutions to discuss the Russian-Ukrainian war and the recent situation around the Taiwan Strait. The National Security Agency disclosed in a written report: “In response to the accident of a Chinese plane crashing into the South China Sea in early March, the CCP chose to issue a no-navigation zone in adjacent waters for search and rescue and military training, closely following the so-called '9-dash line' of the CCP's sovereignty over the South China Sea. It aims to test the bottom line of the United States and other South China Sea claimants while the world is focusing on the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and reducing its attention to the South China Sea.”
Zhao Tianlin, a member of the DPP legislature, questioned Chen Mingtong, Director of National Security: A few days ago, the media reported that a CCP Y-8 fighter jet crashed into the South China Sea. The CCP used the exercise to conduct search and rescue. However, Chen Mingtong replied that this matter involves the issue of intelligence sources and is inconvenient to disclose, but he can inform Zhao Tianlin in private.
The Taiwanese government rarely discloses the news that the Chinese military plane crashed into the sea. Shen Mingshi, director of the National Security Institute of Taiwan's National Defense Security Research Institute, told Radio Free Asia that Taiwan's announcement of the news may be intended to reduce the sensitivity of the CCP's military exercises in the South China Sea and to mock Beijing.
The news that the CCP Y-8 anti-submarine aircraft crashed into the sea in early March was first posted by a Vietnamese reporter on Twitter. The crash site is said to be close to Vietnam. The Chinese Maritime Safety Administration's navigation warning stated that from March 4th to 15th, the exercise in the South China Sea will be carried out between Hainan and Vietnam.
Xu Gengrui, a retired naval radar monitoring non-commissioned officer in Taiwan's southwest airspace, said that in the past, the CCP dispatched -8 anti-submarine aircraft to scramble Taiwan almost every day. After the crash, the CCP is grounding all planes of the same type for maintenance. This is a common practice, which indirectly confirms the correctness of the intelligence of the Vietnamese reporter and Taiwan's National Security Agency.

Witness disputes Myanmar Junta allegation of Suu Kyi power abuse
A junta court heard a corruption case on Tuesday against Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, in which a prosecution witness disputed regime allegations that the detained State Counselor abused her power to purchase land plots at lower prices for her charity foundation in the Myanmar capital Naypyitaw.

U Ko Ko Oo, a department head from the Naypyitaw Development Committee, testified at a court hearing in Naypyitaw on Tuesday that the land was sold to Daw Aung San Suu Kyi at the official price fixed by the development committee, a source close to the court told The Irrawaddy.

In 2018, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi bought more than 90 acres of land in Naypyitaw’s Ottarathiri Township for 700 million kyats ($444,000 at the time) for the Daw Khin Kyi Foundation, a charity which she established in 2012 and named after her mother.

The land was earmarked for the La Yaung Taw project, which aimed to establish a vocational training school and a forest. The land was sold at five million kyats per acre, an official price set by the Naypyitaw Development Committee.

The military regime, which seized power from the civilian National League for Democracy government led by Suu Kyi in February last year, filed a corruption case against her regarding the land purchase, claiming that there was a difference between the land price set by the Internal Revenue Department and the price at which it was sold to the Daw Khin Kyi Foundation.

Former Yangon Region chief U Phyo Min Thein, his wife Daw Khin Mi Mi Kywe and plaintiffs U Ye Htet and U Muang Maung Kyi were cross-examined by Suu Kyi’s lawyers on Monday and Tuesday over allegations that U Phyo Min Thein gave seven viss (around 11.4kg) of gold and US$600,000 to Daw Aung San Suu Kyi in 2017 and 2018 while she was in office.

The plaintiff in another corruption case against Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, ousted President U Win Myint and former social welfare, relief and resettlement minister U Win Myint Aye also testified on Tuesday. The charge relates to the rental and purchase of a helicopter for use in the management of natural disasters and state affairs, including rescues and emergencies.

Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is on trial for nearly a dozen charges that carry a combined maximum prison sentence of more than 100 years. The regime has also filed multiple charges against U Win Myint. Both were handed jail sentences in December and January after being convicted of a number of charges.

Lawyers appealed to the Supreme Court of the Union in the last week of February to withdraw five corruption charges each against Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, former Naypyitaw mayor Dr. Myo Aung, and former Yangon ministers U Ye Min Oo and U Naing Ngan Linn.

The Supreme Court will decide on 15 March whether or not to allow the appeal.

Japan revises "aviation law" to increase airport security

Japan's NHK News reported that Japan's revised "Japan Aviation Law" will be implemented from March 10. The law stipulates that passengers must undergo a security check before boarding, and violations will be punished with imprisonment of up to one year or a fine of up to 500,000 Yen.

So far, although the security inspection work has been carried out under the relevant requirements of the Japanese government, it is not mandatory. Therefore, the security inspection work carried out by the security company can only be carried out on the premise of seeking the cooperation of the passengers. A thorough inspection resulted in the murder weapon being brought into the restricted area and affecting the normal operation of the flight.

Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism stated that the compulsory security check can not only ensure the smooth progress of the security check but also is expected to improve the working environment of the security personnel.

NATO: Russia is launching air action against Ukraine from Belarus

The Russian-Ukrainian war is still tense. Recently, intelligence collected by NATO reconnaissance planes on the Ukrainian border shows that Russia is launching a series of air operations against Ukraine from Belarus.
On Thursday (10 March), CNN joined NATO's Squadron 2 on a surveillance mission aboard the E-3 early warning aircraft, commonly known as AWACS, to gather intelligence on the Ukraine-Polish border.
Within two hours of takeoff, radar on the AWACS plane detected about a dozen Russian-made planes flying over Belarus, north of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, Denis Guillaume, the NATO mission's tactical director, told CNN. Turn. Hours later, radar showed that at least nine Russian-made planes had entered Ukrainian airspace from Belarus and appeared to be heading toward Kyiv.
NATO Air Force personnel told CNN that military planes taking off from Belarus and entering Ukrainian airspace have been supporting Russian military operations in Ukraine.
Guillaume said the "vast majority" of Russian-made fighter jets NATO forces have seen entering Ukrainian airspace since the start of the Russian invasion came from Belarus. On a particularly "active" day last week, NATO forces saw about 20 Russian jets fly from Belarus to Kyiv.
Guillaume also noted that while the E-3 was on a mission on Thursday, a Russian spy plane circled over Belarus, conducting similar surveillance activities in the opposite direction. The Russians also tried to jam the radar of NATO aircraft.
The E-3 is one of the few military assets donated by non-member states owned by NATO, with a fleet of 14 E-3 early warning aircraft on nearly 20 missions per week, mainly monitoring more than 400 kilometers to the east to ensure there are no inconveniences Friendly planes fly into NATO airspace.
In the past few weeks, NATO has strengthened its defenses against members of the East Flank over the Russian invasion of Ukraine, with particularly long surveillance flights and even mid-air refueling on Thursday.
Defense analysts generally agreed that Russia would quickly gain air superiority during the invasion of Ukraine, but with ground forces struggling to capture major cities in the face of tenacious Ukrainian fighters, Russia's aerospace force was of little use.
Ukraine still has about 56 operational jets that fly five to 10 hours a day, senior U.S. defense officials said. Russia flies about 200 planes a day, but some Russian jets are avoiding Ukrainian airspace to avoid being shot down by Ukraine's air defenses.
"Maybe they're saving their planes in case they're not," said Jeffrey Edmonds, a Russian military expert at the Center for Naval Analyses (CAN), a research organization based in Arlington, Virginia. This conflict widens."

CIA chief: Putin may have overestimated China's aid, the situation makes Beijing uneasy

CIA Director Burns said on Thursday (10 March) that Putin may have overestimated the aid Beijing could give him when he invaded Ukraine Sanctions on Russia have been "disturbed".
On Thursday, the heads of the five branches of the U.S. intelligence community attended a hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee. This is an annual hearing on global threats, with threats from China and Russia being the focus of the hearing.
During the hearing, Burns was asked whether Putin had overestimated China's ability to help offset global sanctions and whether China would give Russia more support. He replied that he believed Putin may have overestimated the willingness and ability of the Chinese leadership to give him economic assistance. But he also said it "remains to be seen" how the matter will develop in the future.
Regarding the current Sino-Russian relations, Burns believes that the "partnership" established by the CCP and Russia will not change in the short term, but he is sure that the CCP leadership has been very uneasy about the current situation.
Burns believes that there are four reasons for Xi's concern: one is that the Chinese intelligence agencies do not seem to tell him how the situation will develop; one is related to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which has damaged the reputation of the Chinese Communist Party; one is that Russia has been sanctioned, which may It will hit the Chinese economy, which is already in continuous decline.
Another reason is that Russian aggression has brought the United States and Europe closer together and strengthened NATO. The Chinese Communist Party has been trying to sow discord between the United States and its European allies, and Putin's actions have added to the difficulty.
After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, although the CCP emphasized that "China-Russia friendship is as solid as a rock", it has been pretending to be "neutral" in its public position and has not publicly provided assistance to Russia.
On the one hand, the CCP is increasing the purchase of Russian products, but on the other hand, it is also imposing some restrictions on Sino-Russian trade, in order to avoid the risk of violating the sanctions imposed by Europe and the United States on Russia, and to avoid the impact on the Chinese economy.
China's central bank has raised the upper limit on the ruble's exchange rate fluctuations in order to allow the domestic market to keep up with the depreciation of the ruble. Chinese state-owned banks have also limited restrictions on Russian bulk cargo financing. In addition, Russia accused Chinese state-owned enterprises of stopping the supply of aircraft parts to it.

When Russia began its invasion of Ukraine, the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs issued instructions through various communication channels for civilians to prepare "Molotov cocktails" (homemade incendiary bombs). Recently, the way this guerrilla weapon is used has been upgraded to include drones.
The Ukrainian army has developed a drone that can drop homemade incendiary bombs in the war against Russia, the New York Post reported on Thursday (March 10). Developed by the Ukrainian Homeland Defense Forces, this small flying drone appears to have four blades. Its center console has a place for a horizontally placed incendiary.
A drone dropped a beer bottle in Kyiv, according to photos taken by Reuters. It is unclear how the gasoline in the home-made incendiary bomb was ignited, which is seen in the photo as a bottle of Chernihivske beer. When it fell, the bottle remained upright, apparently to prevent the liquid from pouring out during the strike.
Ukrainians have used homemade incendiary bombs every day since the Russian invasion. Late last month, Ukrainian brewer Pravda had switched its brewery to making "Molotov cocktails."
Ukrainian citizens are preparing a large number of "Molotov cocktails", including students, artists, economists, women and children are involved in the production project. "It seems to be the only thing that matters now," said a Dnipro teacher.

For nearly a century, home-made incendiary bombs, also known as petrol bombs or petrol bombs, have been the most accessible weapon for the disadvantaged against the superior in combat. "Molotov cocktails" are more potent and easy to come by than stones. All you need is a glass bottle and some flammable ingredients.

Incendiary bombs have always been a weapon against Russian tanks. The name "Molotov Cocktail" was first proposed by the Finns. When Soviet troops attacked Finland in 1939, Stalin's foreign minister, Vyacheslav Mikhailovich Molotov, claimed that Soviet warplanes were airlifting food to Finland, not dropping bombs.
The Finns call those bombs "Molotov's breadbasket." In response, Finnish state-run distilleries switched from making vodka to making large quantities of improvised incendiary bombs, which the Finnish army used against Soviet armored vehicles to great effect. The name "Molotov Cocktail" was remembered and quickly spread around the world.

At a security council meeting on Friday, Putin called for those who volunteered to join Russian forces to be allowed to participate. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said 16,000 volunteers in the Middle East were ready to fight alongside Russian-backed forces.
Shoigu also proposed that captured Western anti-tank missile systems be handed over to Russian-backed rebels in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions that have spun off from Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky responded that "thugs from Syria" would come to kill "on foreign soil."
The Wall Street Journal recently reported that U.S. officials told the outlet that Russia has recently been recruiting fighters from Syria, hoping to use their urban warfare skills to help capture Kyiv.
Syria's military has struggled with anti-Assad rebels and the Islamic State (ISIS) for a decade but has barely regrouped. According to reports, some of the most important elements of the Syrian army are not yet ready for combat.
Charles Lister, a senior analyst at the Middle East Institute, a nonprofit, nonpartisan U.S. think tank, questioned the role of Syrian forces against Putin.
"If the Assad regime starts sending troops to Ukraine, they will be nothing more than cannon fodder in a battle and environment completely foreign to them," Lister tweeted.
Meanwhile, Ukraine remains high morale. Russia's Major General Andrey Kolesnikov, believed to be the commander of the army's 29th Army, has been killed, Ukraine's armed forces said on Friday. This is the third Russian major general killed during Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
