If #Russia blows up the nuclear power plant in Enerhodar, #Ukraine then which countries are affected?

When will the EU step in to help Ukraine control their skies? When it is too late? The West is not doing enough. #China will do nothing for Ukraine.

In a war being waged for all humanity, the West is paying a shamefully small price

The West’s contributions to this high-stakes conflict have been limited to sanctions and arms – allowing us to keep our noses clean. That feels woefully inadequate to the moment

#China is broadcasting on TV that news of Ukrainian dead are fake news. I am not surprised but still outraged. I stand with #Ukraine

My Chinese friends are not bad people, but they are only shown China state TV. This is one of the reasons Ukraine will fight against Russia. Under a totalitarian regime you see what the government wants you to see.

The free world is with Ukraine. Do not give up. We are with you. Save your country against evil.

#China democracy polling station, Luying Village, Shandong Province. It looks so inviting, open and fair. Candidates are chosen by the Communist Party, for your convenience. Six policemen are there to welcome you.

Do you feel welcome?

China has annoyed a good number of countries. It is unsurprising that the world thinks China mishandled CoVid-19, but with heavy censorship within China this is not a domestic issue. Who would have thought?

Here in Canada, with two citizens wallowing in Chinese jail, the mood is decidedly unfriendly. #Canada used to be friendly to China, and #China used to honour Canadian Norman Bethune.

The Emperor has different views. China first.

Negative views of China and Xi Jinping at record levels: international survey

Perceptions took the biggest hit in Australia, by 24 percentage points from last year, and worsened 19 points in Britain and 13 points in the United States.

#HongKong will provide, free of charge, a washable, reusable face mask to every HK resident.

The CUMask+ has embedded copper fibers that attract small particles such as the #coronavirus . It can be washed 60 times, after which the filter can be replaced.

This should greatly reduce the demand for single use surgical and N95 masks, reduce the disposal problem.

Great design and great public policy from the HK government. #China should do the same.

Hong Kong’s reusable mask giveaway starts tomorrow

The face covers, which the government will dish out for free to all residents, cost about HK$40 each and can be handwashed with soap and water after each use.

Sina Visitor System

Hangzhou city in #China started a QR code health system, where all residents must register. 3 ratings: red for 14 days quarantine, yellow for 7 days quarantine and green for no quarantine.

Local buildings, public transit and public areas will all scan for people's QR code. With the phone's location data it should be pretty easy to tell if someone's breaking quarantine.

Interesting use of phone technology as related to health care during #coronavirus epidemic.

China’s QR health code system brings relief for some… and new problems

A color-coded QR code system to fight the coronavirus allows people to travel freely or forces them to self-quarantine

#Wuhan is critical and a humanitarian tragedy. Many health depts and communities closed themselves off. Infected people cannot get to a hospital, will infect their families, or cannot help themselves.

There is an ethical and humanitarian dilemma. Forced gov't quarantine will not provide proper care, but staying at home risks infecting their family, but they can comfort each other.

The situation deteriorates. Who can watch their family members go one by one? #coronavirus #China #weibo

This map 2020 Feb 01 22:55 sent from #China shows the seriousness of the corona virus epidemic.

Bigger, widespread, stronger, faster. We have not seen a peak as yet. Center purple is Wuhan, but look at the purple Guangdong/HK and Shanghai.
