I read that tweet and the FT article it linked to and I still don't understand the map. I am not sure what "biggest supplier" mean. I know its not "biggest trade partner". If you google the biggest trade partner for France and Germany, they are other European countries. So this supplier either mean something else or they only count US and China.

Whatever country that's actually helping Africa countries to build their own industries,not just pipeline/road to carry the resources out, is good to Africa for real. I seem to remember China was helping South Sudan building their own oil refinery, but a quick search couldn't find anything. So maybe I remember it wrong, maybe it's Ethiopia or something,

Beijing is waiting for Tsai to cross the idependence redline. But if the Middle East situation continue to be this tight, the US is going to leash Tsai like they did to Chen. Because US can't afford to fight 2 theaters at the same time. I predict Taiwan will lost Vatican in the next 3 months.

 I have been thinking, Winnie the pooh is one of the nicest, gentlest symbol you can use to make fun of Xi Jinping. I mean if you try to find a nicer icon you wouldn't be able to find one. CCP should steal the meme and use it to sell China. Imagine a China tourism bureau ad paster with the usual landmark montage and end with a yellow bear icon and a fancy "come visit China" caligraphy.

I saw the bat soup photo too, I am sure it is a joke. In any rate I heard the virus wouldn't survive in hot water (over 56C). However the scary news I read today is the virus is supposedly mutating. Some people don't get low fever as an early symptom.

I read on wechat rumor they fired the Wuhan mayor already. That's pretty fast. Also all Wuhan hospitals are full. If you are young and infected, you are better off lock yourself in your room and tough it out. stephenthinkpad has issued a correction as of 18:32 on Jan 24, 2020 |

I think the last 4 days dead counts were 9-17-26-41. Can somebody compare to the early dead count of SARS to see which is more lethal?

https://www.scmp.com/video/hong-kong/3048148/hong-kong-health-care-workers-vow-strike-against-government-handling I am tracking this news of a (new?) HK health care union threatening to strike if the government doesn't close the border. I think it will be a pretty signaling case for the continue fight between the HK government and the protesters in 2020. On the one hand, 6000 members is a pretty big sized pool to make a dent; on the other hand, using the virus to threaten the government could turn the general consensus against themselves. Both sides have a lot of options. Carrie Lam can close the border partially; and the union can also strike partially in stages. However Lam has a lot of options in response. She can make compromise (after all, its not a decentralized protest so at least you can negotiate with somebody); she can crack it down hard like Reagan did to the air traffic controllers or Cathay to the flight attendant union; she can bring in mainland health care workers and paint the union the selfish bunch. Of course this would be organized by liaison office. And the general Hong Kongers responses could go either way. Even on scmp I am reading different feedbacks. It could play out very differently and signal what the new mainland liaison leadership's plan for HK in 2020 in regard to some upcoming hot potato issues such as the textbooks and the "uncooperative" civil servants. Some think tank already predicted that in 2020, 40% of the countries will see unrest and HK/Chile are leading flashpoints so HK protest will continue in some shape of form.

Actually Wuhan reported it pretty early (while shut up the 8 doctors at the same time), it was the national CDC who sent in the specialists and said it didn't exhibit human-to-human transmission. There were a HK specialist who came along and ran bad to HK and sound pretty alarming and concern. So probably the national CDC delayed the situation for x days. I am guessing 1-2 weeks. Keep in mind this virus has much longer incubation period than SARS.

The virus really can't be a bioweapon from either China or the US. If you follow the lancet first article about the first 41 patients, the first patient didn't exhibit any human-to-human transmission. The virus mutated to become highly transmissible in Wuhan, probably when it got to the animal market.

I think people are looking at it in a big scoop. This is the next world war fought between Global South and Global South, between East and the West. The mega plague will effect every business inside your country and all your financial institutes just as much as a total war; it's bigger than the 2008 financial crisis; it will kill just as many people or more than each World War. Fortunately the Boomers are finally get to sent to the front line. The kind of war chest Trump is talking about and planning to use, basically will mortgage the next 20 years, or longer of the US. The fallout of the plague will affect the realignment of the global supply chain just as much as a war.
