Intended to punish China for its treatment of Uyghurs and other minorities across Xinjiang province, the crackdown has had the corresponding effect of crippling the U.S. solar market and freezing its supply chain.

At a time when the tsunami of epidemics in China is becoming more fierce, the Chinese Healthcare Commission and the Chinese National Immigration Administration announced on the evening of December 26 and 27, respectively, that starting from January 8, 2023, applications for ordinary passports for Chinese citizens traveling and visiting friends overseas, as well as travel and business visas to Hong Kong, will be resumed. We believe that during the production of this video, more countries will join the bandwagon, and more restrictive policies will likely be imposed on Chinese tourists. 在中国传染病海啸愈演愈烈之际,中国卫生保健委员会和中国移民局分别于12月26日和27日晚宣布,从2023年1月8日开始,中国公民出境旅游和探亲申请普通护照。海及来港旅游及商务签证将会恢复。 我们相信，在制作这段视频的过程中，会有更多的国家加入进来，对中国游客施加更多的限制性政策。
A Chinese national quarantining at a hotel new Covid-19 restrictions for travellers from China. The woman was ordered to undergo a mandatory seven-day quarantine on January 6, 2023, after testing positive for the coronavirus on arrival at Incheon International Airport even though she had boarded the flight with proof of a negative result.
Giorgia Meloni said Italy’s attempt to deal with surging coronavirus cases in China would fail, if other European countries didn’t also test travellers. But a meeting of EU health officials failed to reach agreement on a way forward. China is seeing coronavirus levels surge as it loosens restrictions on travel. The UK government says it is keeping the situation under review.
A growing number of countries now require people arriving from China to show negative COVID-19 tests. Beijing has re-opened its borders after nearly three years of pandemic travel restrictions – but China’s surging coronavirus infections are making other nations nervous.

So, can China crack the secrets of the B-21? We know China will try. At Plant 42 in California, the Air Force says people are found “walking their dogs” along the concertina wire fence at 4 a.m. and little drones “accidentally” crash in the compound. To be sure, the B-21 program is also a major stress test for cybersecurity since many companies supply the program. Still, I’m not worried. The immense secrecy surrounding the B-21 was baked into the program from the start. …
For three years, China’s leader, Xi Jinping, fought a remorseless battle against COVID-19. He called it a “people’s war”—a national struggle to defeat an unseen foe and save lives. The contest locked families in their homes for weeks, strangled the economy, and closed the country to the world. Other governments that failed to contain the pandemic may be indifferent to death and suffering, the message was, but not the Chinese Communist Party, which cares about life above all else.
Exactly three years ago, the first known covid cases were spreading quietly in Wuhan, the city of 11 million in central China that would become ground zero for the pandemic. A month later, in January 2020, the government placed the whole city under lockdown; people were allowed to leave their homes to buy groceries only every few days. This first covid lockdown was in place for two-and-a-half months, but its impact lasted far longer. The Wuhan response worked — caseloads and deaths dropped — and it became the model for China’s infamous “zero-covid” strategy to control the pandemic.

For four decades, real estate development accounted for one-third of China’s gross national product (GNP) growth rate. Over the past 15 years, the construction boom, driven by the expansion of cheap credit, caused housing prices to double on average. By 2019, investor euphoria was at its peak. Real estate’s share of household wealth was now at 70%. The illusion of wealth created by the continuous rise in housing prices encouraged investors to take more risks. Investments became speculative in a market where over 20% of new homes were empty.
