Lots of upsetting stories about conditions for health care workers in China, but this detail blew me away: "from 2009 to 2019, only 7-10% of the income of public hospitals came from government allocations." https://m.copernicium.tw/sys-nd/671.html?checkWxLogin=true&openId=ogk8%2BxOCQAW2AW8nXhv0UwRYSmYzgtK4vwdpuInnU2M%3D&secondAuth=true

Important story here.

Given the way that neoliberal austerity policies have fueled the rise of global authoritarianism it would be insane to now impose that same disastrous model on Ukraine. We need to stand with Ukrainians who oppose this. https://twitter.com/leee_harris/status/1620057369958031360
