WHO: XBB is "the most antibody-evasive variant"
According to the World Helath Organziation, XBB—quite possibly the most immune-evasive covi variant to date—has been identified in 26 countries.
The organization did not name the countries in which it had found XBB. Levels of the variant have been rising in Singapore this month, despite a broadly vaccinated and boosted population, as well as in Bangladesh, Canada, England, and India, according to data from GISAID, an international research organization that tracks changes in covi and the flu virus.
GISAID data shows the largest concentration of XBB or spinoff variants over the past 30 days in Singapore, followed by India, Bangladesh, the U.S., Australia and Denmark.
XBB is a combination of two different strains of Omicron. It is in competition with fellow Omicron spawn BQ.1.1 for the title of most immune-evasive variant so far, surpassing that of shared ancestor BA.5, which was dominant across the globe this summer but the WHO report suggested that XBB is indeed the most antibody-evasive variant yet, citing “laboratory-based evidence.”
While XBB also seems to spread more effectively than other Omicron variants, it’s yet known if it causes more severe disease than other strains, the report added.

Spinoffs of XBB have been identified in the U.S.
XBB has not been identified in the U.S. so far. But spinoffs of it—XBB.1, XBB.2, and XBB.3—have, according to GISAID data.
XBB.1 is first detected in the U.S. on 15 September 2022 and represented 0.26% of cases genetically sequenced over the past 15 days, Raj Rajnarayanan, an assistant dean of research and associate professor at the New York Institute of Technology campus in Jonesboro, Ark., told Fortune on Monday, citing GISAID data. Most XBB strains had been found in New York State.
Worldwide, nearly three times as many cases of XBB.1 had been identified as cases of XBB, the WHO said this week.
It is currently unclear what advantages, if any, XBB descendants like XBB.1 might have over their parent variant. Compared with XBB, XBB.1 features just “one small change” to the spike protein, which the virus uses to attach to and infect cells. The impact of the alteration is unknown, Rajnarayanan said.
XBB, in addition to competitor BQ.1.1, escape antibody immunity, rendering useless monoclonal antibody treatments used in high-risk individuals with covid. According to a study last month out of Peking University’s Biomedical Pioneering Innovation Center in China, both escape immunity from bebtelovimab, the last monoclonal antibody drug that is effective on all variants, as well as Evusheld, which works on some. Both XBB and BQ.1.1 could lead to more severe symptoms, the authors wrote.

XBB has approached the level of immune evasion shown by SARS
The ability of XBB to evade immunity is “extreme,” approaching the level of immune evasion shown by SARS, a coronavirus that infected thousands and caused nearly 800 deaths in the early 2000s, the authors added.
Scientists, including top U.S. infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci, expect a fall and winter wave of cases in the U.S. that begins to surge this month and peaks in January. It’s still unclear which covi variant may fuel that wave, if any one variant does but XBB and BQ.1 are top contenders, experts say.

Washington Post: FBI searches Trump's home, finds sensitive documents related to China, Iran

Former U.S. President Trump has been mired in lawsuits after leaving office. Now it is reported that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) searched Trump's Florida residence during August and found a possession of highly astute documents about China and Iran.
The classified documents, which relate to China's intelligence work and reports related to Iran's missile program, are among the most astute information the FBI has unearthed at Trump's home, according to people familiar with the matter, The Washington Post reported. Experts said the disclosure of the information in the documents could pose risks such as jeopardizing the safety of those assisting U.S. intelligence workers and harming cooperative relationships with each other.
The Justice Department is investigating whether Trump violated the law by bringing about 100 classified documents to his Florida home after he leaves office in January 2021. The Justice Department is also figuring out whether Trump or his team obstructed official business during the FBI search of his residence, and has warned of more missing classified documents.
David Laufman, the former head of the Justice Department's counterintelligence division, said the nature of the documents may be one of the factors that will be heavily weighted when prosecutors consider whether to prosecute, "the extraordinary level of sensitivity and recklessness of the documents. Exposes invaluable sources and means of U.S. intelligence capabilities, which will certainly have implications for the Justice Department's decision to prosecute Trump and others under the Espionage Act."

U.S. congressional riots investigation committee issues subpoena for Trump to testify

(AFP)
A congressional attack occurred in the United States on 6 January 2021. The special committee of the US Congress to investigate the case pointed out on 21 October 2022 that it had issued a subpoena to former President Trump, asking him to come forward and provide evidence for the case. Trump's lawyers challenged the committee. Foreign media sources pointed out that if Trump does not cooperate, he may face criminal charges.
Foreign media reports pointed out that the House select committee investigating last year's U.S. Capitol Hill riots formally issued a subpoena to Trump on Friday, asking Trump to testify. Personal correspondence between members of Congress and extremist groups, and after the November 8 mid-term elections, testified around 14 November and continued for days if necessary.
The committee said it had gathered overwhelming evidence that Trump personally planned and oversaw efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and impede a peaceful transition of power. He also alleged that Trump encouraged his supporters to refuse to accept the results of the 2020 presidential election and led them to storm Congress to try to change the results.
The BBC reported that a lawyer for Trump accused the committee of "ignoring norms". Trump has criticized the survey as a ruse designed to distract voters from next month's U.S. midterm elections. The report said that if Trump refused to testify or provide documents requested by the committee, the committee could refer the matter to the Justice Department and Trump could face criminal charges.

Cannot go back! Pence says he doesn't support Trump in 2024 bid for President election again, hinting that he will come to the election
Reporter : Zhang Peiyuan / https://news.ltn.com.tw/news/world/breakingnews/4096438 / Image : Former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence spoke to students at Georgetown University on the 19th, bluntly disapproving of the elder Trump's return to the White House. (Associated Press)
Former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence attended a public event at Georgetown University in Washington in the evening of 19 October 2022, during which he was asked if he would support former President Trump (Donald Trump). When he returned to the pot to choose the president, he paused for a while, and then said with a small smile, "Well, there may be other (candidates) I would prefer."
Pence's remarks not only revealed that he did not support Trump's return to the White House, the Washington Post said, but also Pence's strongest hint to date that he may come out to run for president himself, fueling speculation in Washington political circles that Trump and Pence may have turned their faces on the eve of Trump leaving office.
Pence, who did not take the audience's applause seriously, continued, "All I can tell you is that I have full confidence that the Republican Party will solve the leadership problem. My focus has been on the midterms right now, and that will be the next 20 days. ". US midterm elections will be held on 8 November 2022.
"But after that (midterm elections), we're going to think about the future, our future with the country," Pence added. "I'll keep you all updated with the latest news."
It is rumoured that Trump intends to participate in the 2024 presidential election and then fight for the White House but he or his team has never made a formal statement on this. Trump's deputy Pence was originally a Trump supporter but the relationship between Trump and Pence is believed to have changed after Pence presided over the verification of the results of the presidential election in Congress in accordance with the law in early 2021, rather than overturning the results of the 2020 presidential election as Trump wanted.
On 6 January 2021, thousands of people wearing fans stormed the Capitol Hill and wreaked havoc. The mob allegedly called for Pence to be hanged. Trump said that the idea might be right, implying that Pence "deserved it." .

Pence: I didn't have classified documents in Trump case
The FBI searched former President Trump's Mar-a-Lago in Florida and found 11 classified documents. Former Vice President Mike Pence said in an interview with The Associated Press on 19 August that he did not leave with any confidential documents when he left office.
While news that the former vice president did not take classified news is usually underwhelming, Trump's possession of 11 classified documents could get him under the Espionage Act, according to the Associated Press. Of three federal counts, Pence's own clarification is important.
Asked about the items confiscated by the FBI from the Trump estate, Pence simply said, "Until we know the full picture, I honestly don't want to be tried without trial." It's easy to make negative comments about Trump's issues, despite his past feud with Trump over the attack on the U.S. Capitol.
In response to the FBI raid-style search, Pence said it was politically motivated and called on Attorney General Merrick Garland to explain more about what gave judicial authorities the power to conduct the investigation. At the same time, he also reminded his Republican allies that although the FBI's current search operation is negotiable, it should not lash out against the FBI for this.

Experts on the restoration of supply and marketing cooperatives by the CCP: A disaster for the common people
Reporters : Li Yun and Liu Fang / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2022/10/21/a103556713.html / Image : Video Screenshot
The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is about to close, and China's future development prospects seem to be more and more closed. Today, the "supply and marketing cooperatives" at the grassroots level of the CCP have revived, and thousands of them have been established in Hubei. Experts believe that the resurrection of "supply and marketing cooperatives" will be a disaster for the common people.
A few days ago, "Hubei Daily" learned from Hubei Provincial Supply and Marketing Cooperatives that by the end of 2021, the total number of grassroots cooperatives in the province will reach 1,373, basically achieving full coverage of townships. There are 452,000 members of grassroots communes, which will grow to 1.5 million in 2025.
According to the report, with the "resurrection" of the supply and marketing cooperative, 35-year-old member Xiong Gang only collects millet this year, and the supply and marketing cooperative will deal with it later. The more than 20 acres of crabs he raised are also sold by the supply and marketing cooperative.
However, experts believe that the resurrection of the "supply and marketing cooperatives" known as the last remnants of the planned economy is a disaster for the common people.
Zhang Jian, an expert on China issues, sad, "What the CCP does, whether it is from the market economy or from other perspectives, is a kind of destruction to people's lives and humanity. The people are already very economical. In difficult times, is such a policy to pave the way for future seclusion? Learning from North Korea will imprison the people in an environment of extreme poverty, even starvation and cold?"
The CCP has quietly restored supply and marketing cooperatives in rural areas since 2015. After the relevant opinions were issued in June last year, all localities accelerated the restoration and reconstruction of supply and marketing cooperatives. In April 2022, the State Council of the Communist Party of China issued another opinion calling for "accelerating the construction of a unified national market".
Xie Tian, Chair Professor of Aiken School of Business at the University of South Carolina, said: "Behind the unified big market is the CCP's comprehensive state monopoly. It is extended to all cities and towns by means of supply and marketing cooperatives, and is regulated by the state. What can be sold, at what price, who can deliver it, and who can ship it. In fact, it is the way to become a planned economy. For the Chinese people, this is definitely a disaster.”
The planned economy, also known as the command economy, is an economic system under which the government plans in advance in all aspects of production, resource allocation and consumption.
Professor Xie Tian said that because of the corruption of the CCP system, the use of the way of supply and marketing cooperatives for centralized purchase and sales will lead to more corruption, and there will soon be shortages of food and commodities.

The closing ceremony of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is not over yet, and Hu Jintao is supported by others

The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China will be closed today (22 October) by Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China.

The chairman, vice-chairman and members of the Central Military Commission, and the chairman and deputy secretary and standing committee members elected at the first plenary meeting of the new Central Commission for Discipline Inspection will be announced.
Xi Jinping is expected to be re-elected as General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Chairman of the Central Military Commission and other positions. During Deng Xiaoping’s time, the Constitution amended the Chinese President’s term to be limited to 2 terms, but Xi Jinping has abolished the Chinese President’s term limit in 2018, so if there is no accident He will be re-elected President of the country for the third time.
An unexpected incident occurred before the closing of the 20th National Congress. Hu Jintao, the 80-year-old former general secretary of the Communist Party of China, who was present at the meeting, suddenly left with the help of his assistants. It can be seen from the scene that after Hu Jintao stood up, Li Zhanshu, chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, who was sitting next to him, expressed his concern.
In addition, as Hu Jintao was escorted past Xi Jinping, Hu nodded to Xi Jinping and Chinese Premier Li Keqiang and others before leaving the venue. In fact, when Hu Jintao attended the opening of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, he had to be supported by others, which shows that his physical condition is not very good.

Worrying about Xi Jinping's acceleration of military reunification
U.S. Secretary of State Blinken warned on the 17th that China, under the administration of General Secretary Xi Jinping of the Communist Party of China, may accelerate the military reunification of Taiwan. U..S Republican Congressman Mike Gallagher said on the 18th that Xi Jinping will become more aggressive on the Taiwan issue after starting his third term. Gallagher believes that Taiwan may be "the most dangerous" after the 2024 election.
According to the "Voice of America" report, Gallagher delivered a speech at the American think tank "The Heritage Foundation" on the 18th, calling on the U.S. Department of Defense to use resources more effectively to deter China and build an "anti-navy" force. To confront China, establish asymmetric force, prevent China from controlling the waters surrounding Taiwan, and prevent the PLA's amphibious forces from landing on Taiwan.
Gallagher said the United States must add long-range precision firepower throughout the Pacific and stockpile arms in the Indo-Pacific before conflict erupts. Gallagher pointed out: "Many of the weapon systems we have provided to Ukraine are running out, and these systems may also play a critical role in the war in the Taiwan Strait." Gallagher mentioned that strengthening Taiwan's armed forces is also one of the goals. The first is to rank Taiwan at the top of "Foreign Military Sales" (FMS), and to accelerate the delivery of approved arms for sale.
As the Russia-Ukraine war is still ongoing, Gallagher believes that Xi Jinping is learning from Russia's failures, "I don't think we should lie to ourselves and say 'they will repeat the same mistakes', the United States must learn one thing from the Russia-Ukraine war. It is only with combat power that effective deterrence can be achieved.”

In the morning of 22 October 2022, the closing ceremony of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held in Beijing. The leader of the CCP, Xi Jinping, presided over the voting on various draft resolutions and answers "No, no". Some analysts believe that the CCP's election is just going through the motions and deceiving itself.
The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China entered the last day of the agenda. That morning, more than 2,000 party representatives voted secretly in the Beijing Great Hall to elect the new Central Committee and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and voted on amendments to the Party Constitution, the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China Reports and other drafts.
The live broadcast shows that when Xi Jinping asked the delegates to vote on the resolution (draft) reported by the 19th Central Committee, he said, "Deputies who agree, please raise your hands." All the delegates, including Xi, raised their hands.
Xi Jinping went on to say, "If you don't agree, please raise your hand."
"No", "No", "No" came from the venue one after another. Xi Jinping announced, "No."
He went on to say, "If you abstain, please raise your hand." "No", "No", "No" sounded again and again in the venue.
Xi Jinping announced, "No. Passed." At this time, there was an expected applause from the venue.
In other votes after that, the same scene was repeated again. The entire 20th National Congress voted behind closed doors, with no negative votes and no abstentions.
Current affairs commentator Yue Shan told NTDTV, "The CCP's meeting is just going through the motions. The real decision has been made in the previous power struggles and compromises. If Xi Jinping can't handle the party representatives and the elders of the presidium, he will not hold this meeting. Yes. Democracy in the whole process is humiliating. Not only are the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference a hand-raising machine, the Party Congress is a bigger hand-raising machine, and the whole so-called election is even more self-deceiving."
