The World health Organization (WHO) released its investigation report on the origin of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) virus on Monday, basically ruling out laboratories among the four sources of the Epidemic, which is tantamount to helping the CCP shirk its responsibility.
The storm of cotton in Xinjiang set off by the Chinese Communist Party has not yet subsided, and the negative effects on China continue to fester. Mishandled, it is likely to smash Xi Jinping‘s soccer dream.
Chips and breeding pigs are China’s neck technology, but the most deadly neck technology is industrial gas.
As consumption slows, the Chinese Communist Party is once again using infrastructure investment as an economic grip. 64% of the world’s agricultural land is contaminated by pesticides, China is the most serious. The EU announced anti-dumping duties on aluminum alloy profiles imported from China. nike surprisingly cooperated with Chen Guanxi, and was hit in the face: canceled.
WHO helps Chinese Communist Party unload blame, 4 epidemic sources excluded from lab, U.S. and 14 other countries speak out
After the World Health Organization (WHO) released its investigation report on the origin of the Chinese Communist virus on Monday, the United States and 14 other countries issued a joint statement expressing concern over the long delay in the study and the failure to obtain all the information.
WHO Secretary-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told WHO member states on Monday that the international panel of experts said they had “difficulties in obtaining original information” while in China. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Monday (29) that he had received the report, stressing that all hypotheses had been submitted for discussion and further study was needed.
The joint statement said, “This international expert study of the source of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has been delayed for a long Time and has failed to obtain full and original information and samples, and we express our joint concern about this and the need for it.”
The countries that signed the statement include the United States, Australia, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Israel, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, South Korea, Slovenia and the United Kingdom.
There are four points of interest in the report.
One is the impossibility of leaks from Wuhan. Associated Press, AFP twenty-nine to disclose the contents of the report, the panel of experts proposed four new coronavirus possible sources: the highest probability is the virus host infection of a second animal, the latter then infected humans, rated as “possible to very likely”. The second is direct transmission from bats to humans, rated as “likely”; the third is transmission through frozen foods, rated as “likely but unlikely”. As for the leakage through the laboratory, it is rated as “extremely unlikely”.
Second, U.S. Secretary of State John Blinken said the Chinese government helped write the report.
Third, the expert panel is not sure the source is the South China market.
Fourth, many mysteries remain unsolved, and the report has been criticized for endorsing the Chinese Communist Party.
Human Rights Watch Executive Director Ross criticized the WHO for repeatedly echoing Beijing‘s false claims about the severity of the outbreak in the early stages, including whether the virus was human-to-human in nature, and for its complicity. China’s endorsement”.
U.S.-based scholar He Qingchuan tweeted, “Is Comrade Lao Tan short of silver these days and wants to create a rent-seeking excuse for China to bleed some more, or has he found his conscience? I always think it’s the former. His term is up next year and he is in a bit of a “pre-retirement crisis”.
Xinjiang cotton storm affects Xi Jinping’s “soccer dream”?
The Chinese media “Football News” reported on March 27 that the CFA internal meeting condemned Nike’s boycott of Xinjiang cotton and reserved the right to further deal with the contract. After the news came out, many public opinions on the Internet enthusiastically condemned the CFA.
Current affairs commentator Chen Simin wrote an article in the Epoch Times to analyze that the netizens have a high degree of consensus on the main grievances of the CFA: the statement came late, or a painless internal condemnation, must be publicly condemned, immediately announced the termination of the contract and suspension of cooperation. At the same time also do two comparisons: artists have to terminate their contracts, the most important role of the Football Association should take the lead but hide in the back, the stars can also learn from the future, do not move to immediately terminate the contract. Some even mocked the CFA: “The mouth is all doctrine, the heart is all business”.
According to reports, before the 2021 season has even started, the four top clubs in the Chinese Super League are facing a huge risk of quitting professional soccer in China due to the difficulty in producing a “salary confirmation form”, which is the case for the Chinese Super League teams, not to mention the more difficult survival of the Chinese League One and Chinese League Two teams. More than two-thirds of the teams in the Chinese First Division have unpaid wages, and the Chinese Second Division also cannot escape a similar predicament.
As we all know, Xi Jinping sees soccer as a symbol of a “strong sporting nation”, and in February 2015 released the “Overall Plan for China’s Football Reform” and in April 2015 set up the “Leading Group for China’s Football Reform”.
Today, as the domestic Sports Weekly published an article, soccer is still in a pseudo-professional league, clubs owe large amounts of money, players go around to collect debts, strike training and strike matches, there is no way to collect wages, and clubs live or die in a chaotic situation. The article points to the “chaotic politics of the Football Association”, which used to be managed and run without separation, but now is divided but not separated.
As the collective memory of a generation of Chinese fans, former footballer Hao Haidong was “socially dead”. The reason is that he published a declaration that “the elimination of the Chinese Communist Party is a necessity for justice” on the eve of the 31st anniversary of the June 4 Incident in 2020.
Hao Haidong revealed for the first time in an interview with overseas media after the public declaration, “I became a player of the Bayi youth team at the age of 10, and officially joined the Bayi team at the age of 18, when I already had an understanding of the system. After joining the national team for more than a decade, my Perception of the Chinese Communist Party system was even more engrained in my mind. It is a system that has no humanity, and it is the destruction of humanity. No matter who enters this system, it is difficult to escape and will either be devoured by it or will be a helper to the tiger.”
In short this Xinjiang cotton storm continued until now, public opinion in general did not have a double standard of deferred official institutions, they blasted the Football Association for Nike 3 billion on their knees, naming the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to know that public opinion is not a shield for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as well as the Communist Youth League where? While fooling the people to boycott this boycott that, on the other hand, make pressure on the entertainment industry stars to terminate the contract, when to speak out to ask the Football Association and other sports circle to release a host of international brand sponsorship contracts? This is also a development that the Chinese Communist Party did not expect in order to counter the sanctions imposed by European and American countries on the human rights issue in Xinjiang, and to encourage the public to be xenophobic.
The Chinese Communist Party is “short of breath”, the United States and Australia will be helpless once the supply is cut off
The Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology and other ministries and commissions have recently introduced a succession of policies to address the shortage of chips, key technology “neck” and other issues. However, from the point of view of market price fluctuations, there are more deadly than the chip neck is the industrial gas neck.
Recently, it has been publicly reported that the overall industrial gas market prices have continued to rise rapidly, with the average weekly price of liquid gas in China rising by 16% by the end of the third week in March. The main reason is that the global shortage of chips is transmitted to the semiconductor material side, and the “electronic special gas” (electronic special gas) in industrial gases is an essential raw material in the process of manufacturing chips.
According to the Semiconductor Industry Association, the cost of a chip, as a variable cost of special gases and consumables accounted for up to 14%. E-gas is the second most important core material for semiconductors after silicon wafers, and ultimately determines the yield and reliability of the finished chip. In addition, the downstream applications of specialty gases in China include four major industries, with the largest share of applications in the IC industry at 42%.
According to the executive vice director of China Industrial Gas Industry Association, Mr. Chungan Fu, as the raw material for chip production, most of the electronic special gases are still imported, except for a few varieties that have been localized, and it is urgent to solve the pain of “short gas”.
Public data show that the distribution of the entire industrial gas market in China is: the United States Air Chemical (25%), Germany Linde (23% of the market after the merger with the United States Plex in 2018), France Air Liquide (23%), Japan’s Dayang Day acid (17%), that is, 88% of the current share is highly dependent on the four suppliers of the United States, Germany, France and Japan.
If the supply of helium is cut off and the company is not self-sufficient, major aerospace projects such as manned aerospace, lunar exploration, and space stations will be halted instantly, as well as advanced defense weapons.
Public information shows that the world’s proven helium reserves are about 51.9 billion cubic meters, with the U.S. accounting for nearly 40% and China accounting for only about 2%. 95% of China’s helium depends on imports, and U.S. helium has been the main source of China’s helium imports.
As noted in an analysis published on the NetEase website in early March, China has also adjusted its sources of helium imports as tensions between the U.S. and China have continued in recent years. However, helium imports from Qatar are more expensive than the U.S. For example, in 2019 Qatari helium imports were priced at $53 to $60 a kilogram, while U.S. imports were only $47 to $56 a kilogram. Second, Qatar is indeed rich in resources, but it does not have its own technology and is heavily dependent on the United States. Once again, the situation is not optimistic as the U.S. and Australia can control more than one-third of our helium gas by joining forces.
For industrial gas neck, there has been a domestic industry executives said that gas products are important basic raw materials for modern industry, in fact, the weakness of the entire national industrial system. In the industry’s view, the lack of professional talents restricts the development of China’s industrial gas industry compared to the existence of large gaps in processes and equipment. The two say the same thing, that is, the common key problem of high-end field development “talent shortage”.
NIKE surprisingly and Chen Guanxi cooperation was also hit in the face: was canceled
Recently, Chen Guanxi, who is bent on operating his own tide brand, suddenly announced the termination of cooperation with Nike, shelved all the co-branded models with Nike, and cancelled all Nike elements on the launch.
Previously, Chen Guanxi said in an interview: some of the best shoes in the world, are made in China.
It is reported that Chen Guanxi’s tide brand has always been out of co-branded models with Nike, this termination of cooperation is tantamount to breaking their own back, some netizens say: this is even worse than the loss of Eason Chen.
EU announces anti-dumping duties on aluminum alloy profiles imported from China
The European Commission issued a statement on March 30 that the EU imposed anti-dumping duties on aluminum alloy profiles imported from China at rates ranging from 21.2% to 32.1%. The statement said, “This is another example of the EU’s commitment to ensure that EU industry can compete on a level playing field and protect jobs, with 40,000 jobs in the EU in an industry worth 12 billion euros.”

Denis Redonnet, deputy director general for trade and chief trade executive of the European Commission, said via Twitter on Tuesday, “The European Commission opened an investigation on February 14, 2020, based on a complaint filed by European aluminium companies on behalf of producers representing more than 50% of total EU production. The investigation found that unfair trade practices (dumping) by Chinese exporters have caused significant damage to the EU industry and that measures to address such practices are necessary and in the interest of the EU. All parties involved have had ample opportunity to defend their interests.”
64% of global farmland contaminated by pesticides, China worst
Nearly two-thirds of the world’s agricultural land is at risk of pesticide contamination, according to a study released Monday (March 29). Researchers in Australia analyzed data on 92 chemicals commonly used as pesticides to simulate the risk of contamination in 168 countries around the world.
The researchers said they used data from the U.S. Geological Survey (United States Geological Survey) and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization) to analyze a total of 59 herbicides, 21 The researchers said they used data from the U.S. Geological Survey and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, analyzing 59 herbicides, 21 insecticides and 19 fungicides.
The results found that 64 percent of the world’s cropland (about 24.5 million square kilometers, or 9.4 million square miles), is at risk of contamination from more than one pesticide. At the same time, 31% of the arable land was at “high risk”.
The study was published in the journal Nature Geoscience.
The report found that Asia has the most “high-risk” cropland, with China accounting for the highest percentage. China accounts for 2.9 million square kilometers of the estimated 4.9 million square kilometers of arable land in Asia at “high risk” of pesticide contamination, making it the country with the highest risk of pesticide residue contamination in the world.
As consumption slows, CCP again uses infrastructure investment as economic grip
As China’s consumption growth slows, an official think-tank official said the country’s economy will still need investment to support it and put more money into infrastructure construction. On Wednesday, China’s Ministry of Transportation announced plans to build 3,000 kilometers of new railroads and more than 30 new civilian airports in the next three years.
Bloomberg reported on March 29 that Xu Hongcai, deputy director of the Economic Policy Committee of the China Society for Policy Science, said the rise in consumption as a percentage of GDP is likely to slow compared with previous years, and that China’s economic growth is still expected to require investment to support it, with more money being invested in infrastructure construction.
The China Society for Policy Science is a think tank under the Policy Research Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
During the two sessions, CCP delegates also talked a lot around consumption and came up with various ways to make the people spend more money, but the problem is that the Chinese people have no money to spend as their income keeps decreasing.
