I had goose for the first time since 2018 this week, and I couldn't have been happier. Thank you, blessed Slav lands, for approaching China in the number of things you'll eat.

I think the first time I ever had goose was as Cantonese BBQ in Hong Kong and it was one of the greatest moments of my life.

Yeah last time I had it was in Hong Kong. Hong Kong still does it better tbh.

Here's one thing we eat here which I haven't seen (on its own, not ground up) elsewhere: Cow udders! Steamed, sliced, and pan-fried on a sandwich with ground white pepper.

Absolutely no loving surprise that 'Patient 31', who infected over a thousand people in South Korea, is a 61-year old cultist ajumma.

quote:

The woman didn't take the test for coronavirus. She had not travelled overseas since the outbreak began - she reasoned - and had not been in contact with any confirmed cases of the coronavirus (that she knew of).

So, instead of taking the test, she jumped in a taxi to meet with a friend to have a buffet lunch at a hotel in eastern Daegu.

The next day, on February 16, she once again attended services at the Shincheonji Church of Jesus.

Local reports say she argued with a health official for an hour, insisting she couldn't have coronavirus. She eventually conceded, and went to another hospital to be tested.

According to Reuters, "The Korea Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (KCDC) said on Saturday they had obtained a list of 9,300 people who had attended those two Shincheonji church services, around 1,200 of whom had complained of flu-like symptoms. Hundreds of cases have now been confirmed there."

How China weaponized its supply chain


China Customs press release detailing the volume of PPE imported from overseas in January.

To give you some sense of scale, between Jan 24th & Feb 24th customs inspected and released "2.02 billion pieces of prevention and control materials, valued at 6.53 billion yuan: 1.97 billion protective items, including 1.63 billion masks, 18.62 million pieces of protective clothing, 3.56 million pairs of goggles; 13.55 million pieces of sterilized items; 4.39 million pieces of medical equipment (799,000 were infrared thermometers) & 21.23 million other prevention and control materials."

Fuzhou Daily (pure CCP Propaganda) article detailing United Front Workers, international students & employees from a myriad of Chinese-state companies abroad purchasing PPE and shipping it back to mainland China.

Both of these are official sources from the CCP. Whether or not they deliberately suppressed and continue to suppress the true number of victims in China is, IMO, less relevant than direct evidence that they set out to create an artificial shortage of medical supplies worldwide beginning in January.

Very curious, a country with a massive epidemic importing PPE. Why would that be? I guess we'll never know.

Anyone have a good (reputably sourced) timeline of China's actions from the beginning of the pandemic to now? Something specifically outlining when they locked down internal flights vs international? I've heard lots of stories of them having a good month difference, apparently indicating that they didn't want it to spread internally, but didn't care if it spread externally. A lot of sources reporting this are newspapers I am not familiar with and they could be chud papers spreading yellow journalism.

This is a good timeline: https://time.graphics/line/360578

I knew it was Scientology with Chinese Characteristics, but I thought that was more to do with how nutty they are, and how they expect money from you. Does it also jealously guard it's secrets and members like Scientology also.
