China plans to vaccinate 64% population by yearend, 40% by end of June, in a bid to avoid immunity gap with other countries and to safeguard upcoming major events, including global conferences and sports events like 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
The Economist: "The Communist Party announced the start of a long-expected purge of their ranks…It is remarkable that such a campaign is deemed necessary. After he took over…in 2012 Mr Xi launched China’s toughest battle against corruption in decades."
Quoted @ehundman
“China and the United States should remove all barriers to travel between the two countries if the United States achieves herd immunity for COVID-19 with 90% of its population vaccinated, potentially by August, a Chinese epidemiologist has said.”
Replying to @ehundman: Notably, no mention of how slow China’s own vaccine rollout is.

Terrific scoop here by the FT's Sun Yu. Jack Ma's spat with Beijing was in part a conflict over data protection.
A critical media plays a positive role as watchdog of government action and protecting those without a voice. My article in Mandarin on why international media criticism of Chinese authorities is not China hating #defendmediafreedom @ukinchina
Replying to @JKynge: Disgraceful racial attack in U.K. Boris Johnson needs to make a statement condemning this.

The 🇬🇧and our partners will always work to defend media freedom. The new @fccchina report tells a concerning story of China’s worsening media environment. We urge China to ensure journalists are free to work without harassment, intimidation & the threat of detention or expulsion.

With new mass detentions, every prominent Hong Kong activist is now either in jail or exile
U.S. seeks allies to coordinate tech push. Biden seeks to deny chip-making equipment —a “choke point technology”—to China. Beijing has plenty of ways to retaliate.

Kwok’s piece advocates alarming attacks on rule of law/legal profession: 1. Stripping the Bar Association’s regulatory powers; 2. Merging the solicitor & barrister professions; 3. Designating Bar Council members as public officials subject to oath swearing/“loyalty” tests.
@SpeechFreedomCN updates an online database of speech crimes in China. It paints a bleak picture of a gov't that punishes its citizens for the slightest hint of criticism and shows how random and merciless China’s legal system can be. My latest
