    Flooded county asks for disinfectant online; US Navy conducts biggest exercise in 40 years



    China’s flood season isn’t over yet. Amid the water-logging and damages, a number of villages are now hugely contaminated by dead livestock. The U.S. Navy holds massive military exercises, spanning two-thirds of the world, as the army cooperates with Indonesia in a drill in Southeast Asia. Meanwhile, four Indian warships head toward the South China Sea for military exercises, and Germany is also sending a warship for the first time in two decades. More people are fleeing China. The number of Chinese asylum seekers reaches record heights, with many taking refuge in democratic nations. China violates its Phase One trade deal with the United States. Beijing quietly ordered its state-owned companies to buy certain items locally, including those that China promised to buy more of from the United States.

    Biden approves first arms sale to Taiwan; Flood-hit city faces harsh pandemic lockdown



    The highly contagious Delta variant of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus is challenging China. In the flood-hit city of Zhengzhou, a total lockdown leaves residents short on food at home. Some were spotted shouting for help from their buildings. Trust in Chinese-made vaccines seems low in China. Authorities are using every strategy to get people vaccinated—including incentives like cash rewards. For outside China, Chinese Communist Party head Xi Jinping promised to provide 2 billion doses of CCP virus vaccines to other countries this year. The Biden administration approves its first arms sale to Taiwan. The transaction is valued at $750 million. American investors are worried, as Beijing cracks down on Chinese-owned companies. We look into what’s behind the effort.

    I'm not big on getting the USA involved in foreign conflicts but if we are going to stop China from taking Taiwan then we better let China know that formally.

    Japan already stated that they would see an attack on Taiwan as an act of war on Japan. I think that means we are already committed due to our relationship with Japan.
    China needs a reason to think that their power grab will have a dire cost or they are going to take the island. We are at more risk of war by not being concise.

    73% of China’s 98,000 Dams Are in Critical Condition Zooming In China



    73% of China’s 98,000 Dams Are in Critical Condition; China’s dams and reservoirs are built to make money, they can not resist floods or help with drought. Plus, is the death toll in Henan credible? This is part 2 of Simone’s interview with Wang Weiluo, water conservancy expert currently living in Germany.

    Flooding strikes southwestern China; Delta variant surge: Chinese city tops infection rates



    China mandates strict prevention measures against the latest #DeltaVariant surge. Questions are rising over the Chinese Communist Party’s “zero tolerance” lockdown strategy and if it’s actually working. A video emerges from China’s new virus hotspot. Rumors circulating online say a student there died shortly after getting a dose of a #ChineseMadeVaccine. China’s “bat woman” scientist warns of more deadly COVID-19 variants to come. She’s the researcher behind Wuhan’s controversial virus lab. In the United States, Dr. Anthony Fauci gave a similar warning. Locals say authorities in one Chinese city released water from nearby reservoirs without warning, flooding the area in the middle of the night. It’s the second report of its kind. China’s antitrust regulators are investigating top American investment firm Blackstone over its $3 billion deal with one of China’s largest real estate developers.

    North Carolina has a large pig farming industry in the Eastern part of the state.

    When Hurricane Floyd stalled inland and all the water came back down the rivers it flooded everything in its path. The stench was unbelievable and it stayed in all the houses it flooded along the way.

    I can imagine what it must be like for these poor Chinese residents that have no other place to run. There are no local Holiday Inns a hundred miles away.

    China’s biggest shipping port struck by virus; Quarantined mom begs for food for her child



    An elderly woman fell unconscious on the spot after getting dosed with China’s homegrown vaccine. She suffers from high blood pressure, diabetes, and asthma, but still was made to get the shot. Dozens of Chinese sailors are stuck on a cargo ship after testing positive for the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus. The first of them to get sick was also the vaccinated person on board. A section of the world’s biggest port shuts down after one confirmed virus case was detected. A mother is in tears, begging for food to feed her child. Lockdown orders kept her inside and isolated from grocery stores, while local food delivery was suspended. A herd of wild elephants is finally heading home after wandering around in southern China for more than a year.

    China’s Zero Tolerance on Coronavirus Backfires | Zooming In China



    China’s zero tolerance policy on Covid-19 backfires as the numbers of those sick with the Delta variant continues to climb while mandated closures devastate the economy. The prices of necessary foods are rising, too, raising concerns that those most at risk may starve under this strong-handed approach. Chinese citizens who offer a voice of reason and promote a way to co-exist with the virus in order to keep the economy strong are being punished by the CCP. – Subscribe for updates: http://bit.ly/SimoneGao

    An elderly couple drowns in flood; Severe droughts put global hydropower at risk | China in Focus



    Fake credentials are shipped from China into the United States. Counterfeit Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) badges were discovered among them. The state of Indiana is investigating the Chinese Communist Party’s influence in America. Officials there are seeking to protect the state’s education system. An elderly couple drowned in Beijing’s floodwaters, following heavy rainfall. Some are blaming a drainage system failure. A Hong Kong parliament member is casting doubt on a Chinese-made vaccine. His test results show a 90 percent loss of antibodies that protect against the infection—just three months after getting the shot. Beijing will soon be keeping an even closer eye on China’s industry. The regime has already been clamping down on a number of critical sectors in the country, prompting major losses for big tech companies. But what’s behind the move?
