    所有新疾病都来自中国。All new diseases comes from China. Chinese city proposes lockdowns for flu — and faces a backlash 中国城市提议封锁流感，并面临强烈反对

    While cases of Covid in China are falling, there has been a spike in flu cases across the country and some pharmacies are struggling to meet demand for flu remedies. 虽然中国的新冠肺炎病例正在下降，但全国各地的流感病例激增，一些药店正在努力满足对流感补救措施的需求。

    At the first and highest level, it says, “the city can lock down infected areas, carry out traffic quarantines and suspend production and business activities. Shopping malls, theaters, libraries, museums, tourist attractions and other crowded places will also be closed.” “At this emergency level, schools and nurseries at all levels would be shut down and be made responsible for tracking students’ and infants’ health conditions.” The backlash comes as the central government in Beijing has emphasized the need to open the country back up following the removal of all Covid restrictions in January.

    从第一层和最高层来看,该市可以封锁感染地区,实行交通防疫,并停止生产和营业活动。 商场、剧院、图书馆、博物馆、旅游景点等拥挤场所也将关闭。” “在这个紧急级别，各级学校和托儿所将被关闭，并负责跟踪学生和婴儿的健康状况。” 北京中央政府在今年1月取消所有新冠肺炎限制后,一直强调有必要重新开放国家,因此出现了反对的声音。

    Xi’an itself was subject to a draconian lockdown between December 2021 and January 2022, with 13 million residents confined to their homes for weeks on end — and many left short of food and other essential supplies. Access to medical services was also affected. In an incident that shocked and angered the nation, a heavily pregnant woman was turned awayfrom a hospital on New Year’s Day because she didn’t have a valid Covid-19 test, and suffered a miscarriage after she was finally admitted two hours later. 在2021年12月至2022年1月期间，西安本身受到严厉的封锁，1300万居民连续几周被限制在家中，许多人缺乏食物和其他必需品。获得医疗服务的机会也受到影响。在一次震惊和激怒全国的事件中，一名重度孕妇在元旦被医院拒之门外，因为她没有进行有效的新冠肺炎检测，并在两小时后最终入院后流产。

  • Why has China announced its lowest growth target in decades? 为什么中国宣布了几十年来最低的增长目标？

    Why has China announced its lowest growth target in decades? 为什么中国宣布了几十年来最低的增长目标？

    https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2023/3/6/why-did-china-set-its-lowest-economic-growth-target-in-decades

    Excluding 2020, when COVID-19 upended the global economy, last year’s economic growth rate was the lowest since 1976, the last year of Mao Zedong’s cultural revolution.
    Although China’s economy appears to be rebounding strongly from the pandemic — manufacturing activity in February, for example, smashed expectations, expanding at the fastest pace in more than a decade — Chinese officials have warned of risks ahead.
    While acknowledging China’s “vast potential and momentum for further growth,” Li pointed to the rise of “uncertainties in the external environment,” including high inflation, and “external attempts to suppress and contain China” — a thinly-veiled reference to the country’s heated geopolitical competition with the US.
    China’s economy faces serious long-term challenges domestically, too, including an enormous housing bubble and a shrinking working population due to a rock-bottom birth rate.
    Many economists believe that China’s high-growth era — characterised by decades of double-digit expansion each year — is now in the past.

    除了因新冠肺炎而颠覆世界经济的2020年之外,去年的经济增长率是毛泽东文化大革命最后一年1976年以来的最低值。
    尽管中国经济似乎正从这场大流行中强劲反弹——比如2月份的制造业活动打破了人们的预期，以十多年来最快的速度扩张——但中国官员警告称，未来的风险依然存在。
    李鹏承认中国”巨大的潜力和进一步增长的动力”，同时指出”外部环境的不确定性”（包括高通胀）和”遏制和遏制中国的外部尝试”——这是中国与美国激烈的地缘政治竞争的一个细枝末节。
    中国经济在国内也面临着严重的长期挑战，包括巨大的房地产泡沫和因最低出生率而减少的工作人口。
    许多经济学家认为，中国的高增长时代——以每年两位数的增长为特征——已经一去不复返了。

    China will likely set one of the country’s lowest growth goals in decades at the annual National People’s Congress next week, experts told AFP, hit by long-running property woes, a sluggish global economy and geopolitical tensions.

    Thousands of party delegates from across China will converge on Beijing for a rubber stamp conclave set to confirm key personnel appointments and make policy for the coming year.

    Among the first declarations is expected to be a target for gross domestic product growth  over the coming 12 months, announced by outgoing Premier Li Keqiang at Sunday’s opening ceremony.

    Last year, the economy expanded just three percent, one of its weakest in decades on the back of the Covid-19 pandemic, lockdowns and a real estate crisis.

    专家告诉法新社，受长期房地产危机、全球经济低迷和地缘政治紧张局势的打击，中国很可能在下周的年度全国人大会议上设定几十年来最低增长目标之一。

    来自全国各地的数千名党代表将齐聚北京，举行橡皮图章会议，确定关键人事任命，并为来年制定政策。

    即将卸任的国务院总理李克强在周日开幕式上宣布，在首批宣言中，预计未来12个月国内生产总值(GDP)增长的目标。

    去年,受新冠肺炎大流行、封锁、房地产危机的影响,经济增长率仅为3%,创下了数十年来的最低值。

    FBI Director Wray acknowledges bureau assessment that Covid-19 likely resulted from lab incident 美国联邦调查局(FBI)局长雷承认新冠肺炎很有可能是实验室事件造成的。中国实验室泄漏理论很有可能是新型冠状病毒大流行的根源

    https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/28/politics/wray-fbi-covid-origins-lab-china/index.html

    FBI Director Christopher Wray on Tuesday acknowledged that the bureau believes the Covid-19 pandemic was likely the result of a lab accident in Wuhan, China. In his first public comments on the FBI’s investigation into the virus’ origins during an interview with Fox News, Wray said that “the FBI has for quite some time now assessed that the origins of the pandemic are most likely a potential lab incident in Wuhan.”

    美国联邦调查局(FBI)局长克里斯托弗•雷(Christopher Wray)22日承认,新冠肺炎大流行很有可能是中国武汉实验室事故的结果。雷在接受福克斯新闻采访时首次公开表示:”FBI在相当长一段时间内一直认为,此次大流行病的起源很有可能是武汉的实验室事件。”

    https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/28/politics/wray-fbi-covid-origins-lab-china/index.html

    Wray said in the interview that the FBI has a team of experts who focus specifically on the risk of biological threats that come into the “wrong hands,” including by a “hostile nation state.”

    “You’re talking about a potential leak from a Chinese government-controlled lab that killed millions of Americans,” Wray said of the coronavirus, “and that’s precisely what that capability was designed for.”

    Wray said that most details of the FBI’s investigation remain classified, and that it has been difficult to work with the Chinese government on investigating the pandemic’s origin.

    “I will just make the observation that the Chinese government, it seems to me, has been doing its best to try to thwart and obfuscate the work here,” the bureau director said. “The work that our US government and close foreign partners are doing. And that’s unfortunate for everybody.”

    Wray在采访中说，联邦调查局有一个专家小组，专门研究生物威胁落入”坏人之手”的风险，包括”敌对民族国家”。

    “你指的是中国政府控制的一个实验室的潜在泄漏，导致数百万美国人死亡，”Wray在谈到新冠病毒时说，”而这正是这种能力所设计的。”

    雷说，联邦调查局的大部分调查细节仍然保密，而且一直难以与中国政府合作调查大流行病的起源。

    他说:”我只是说，在我看来，中国政府一直在尽力阻挠和混淆工作。” 他说:”美国政府及其密切的外国伙伴正在开展的工作。 这对每个人来说都是不幸的。”

  • Chinese COVID Lab Leak Debate Resurges After New Report Drops 中国新型冠状病毒实验室泄漏争议在新报告减少后再次抬头

    Chinese COVID Lab Leak Debate Resurges After New Report Drops 中国新型冠状病毒实验室泄漏争议在新报告减少后再次抬头

    https://www.newsweek.com/chinese-covid-lab-leak-debate-resurges-after-new-report-drops-1783864

    Debate about the origins of COVID-19 reemerged after The Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday that the United States Department of Energy (DOE) concluded that the virus likely stemmed from a lab leak in China.

    Sars-CoV-2—first discovered in Wuhan, China, in December 2019—has spread across the globe ever since, killing more than 6.8 million people worldwide, according to Johns Hopkins University, and having life-altering effects on many others. From the onset of the pandemic, questions emerged about the virus’ origins with two leading theories typically dominating the scientific community.

    Newsweek reported on March 27, 2020, and corroborated by two U.S. officials, that U.S. intelligence revised its January assessment in which it “judged that the outbreak probably occurred naturally” to now include the possibility that the new coronavirus emerged “accidentally” due to “unsafe laboratory practices” in Wuhan.

    The classified report, titled “China: Origins of COVID-19 Outbreak Remain Unknown,” ruled out that the disease was genetically engineered or released intentionally as a biological weapon.

    美国《华尔街日报》19日报道说,美国能源部(DOE)得出结论说,新型冠状病毒可能源于中国实验室的泄露。

    据约翰霍普金斯大学（Johns Hopkins University）统计，2019年12月在中国武汉首次发现SARS-CoV-2病毒，自此在全球范围内传播，造成680多万人死亡，并对许多其他人产生了改变生命的影响。 从大流行开始，关于病毒起源的问题就出现了，两种主要理论通常支配着科学界。

    美国《新闻周刊》于2020年3月27日报道,并得到两名美国官员的证实,美国情报部门今年1月的评估”认为,新冠肺炎可能是自然发生的”,并修改了该评估内容,以包括因武汉的”不安全实验室惯例”而”偶然”出现的可能性。

    以《中国:新冠肺炎发病原因不明》为题的分类报告书中排除了该疾病是遗传工程疾病或故意作为生物武器上市的可能性。

    According to the Drug Enforcement Agency, China continues to be the primary source of fentanyl being imported into the United States, killing more than 100 Americans every day. It also continues to be the primary source of fentanyl for the rest of the world.

    “Currently, China remains the primary source of fentanyl and fentanyl-related substances trafficked through international mail and express consignment operations environment, as well as the main source for all fentanyl-related substances trafficked into the United States,” a 2020 DEA report asserts.

    根据缉毒局的数据，中国仍然是进口到美国芬太尼的主要来源，每天杀死100多名美国人。 它还继续是世界其他地区芬太尼的主要来源。

    2020年缉毒署的一份报告称:”目前，中国仍然是通过国际邮件和快递业务环境贩运芬太尼和芬太尼相关物质的主要来源，也是所有贩运进入美国的芬太尼相关物质的主要来源。”

    No one outside of the Chinese Communist Party knows for sure exactly how many Chinese have caught COVID in recent weeks. The paranoid, authoritarian CCP stopped sharing good data shortly after lifting restrictions. But testing of air travelers from China is fragmentary evidence of a major crisis.

    The same testing, along with hundreds of viral samples that Chinese epidemiologists have uploaded to a global COVID database, tells us which forms of the virus are dominant in China. While most of the world is on the down-slope of a medium-sized winter wave caused by XBB, a “recombinant” blend of several Omicron subvariants, China’s just now catching BA.5.2, a subvariant that was dominant everywhere else around six months ago.

    And those millions—or even tens of millions—of Chinese BA.5.2 infections have spawned a trio of BA.5.2 spinoffs. Viral samples from several Chinese cities, uploaded last week, were the first evidence of BA.5.2.48, BA.5.2.49 and BA.5.2.50. That’s right: China is now evolving its own forms of COVID.

    It’s a problem for China, of course, which has weeks or months of suffering ahead of it as authorities scramble to organize fresh rounds of vaccinations. The jabs are triage—a desperate effort to prevent overfull hospitals from collapsing as the Chinese population slowly, painfully builds up its natural immunity.

    中国共产党以外的人谁也不知道最近几周有多少中国人感染了新冠肺炎。 在解除限制后不久，偏执的、专制的中共就停止了分享良好数据。 但是，对来自中国的航空旅客的测试只是一场重大危机的零星证据。

    中国流行病学家将数百个病毒样本上传到全球新冠肺炎数据库,通过同样的检查可以知道在中国哪种病毒占优势。 尽管世界大部分地区都处于由XBB（欧米龙的几个子变量的”重组”混合物）引发的中型冬季浪潮的下坡，但中国刚刚抓住了BA.5.2，这一子变量的主导地位大约在六个月前在其他地方。

    而那数百万甚至数千万的中国BA.5.2感染已经产生了三个BA.5.2分支。 上周上传的几个中国城市的病毒样本是BA.5.2.48、BA.5.2.49和BA.5.2.50的第一个证据。 没错: 中国现在正在进化自己的新冠肺炎形态。

    当然，这对中国来说是个问题，因为中国当局正忙于组织新一轮的疫苗接种，未来数周或数月将遭受痛苦。 这种咬牙器是一种分类——这是为了防止过度拥挤的医院崩溃而做出的绝望努力，因为中国人正在痛苦地建立其自然免疫力。

    After three years of lockdowns, the country was ill prepared for its abrupt ‘freedom’. Now, with some estimating 1m deaths, public anger is growing

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jan/29/chinese-cost-covid-xi-lockdowns-china

    Xi’s extraordinary backflip left analysts alarmed and confused. China was not the only country to choose a zero-Covid strategy, and certainly not the only one to “let it rip” once it dropped it. But it was the last, and global health experts say there were plenty of lessons it could have heeded – primarily, making sure vaccinations and health resources were high before the tsunami of cases hit.

    “All governments had to decide to open up at some stage or risk the consequences of lockdowns far outweighing the problems of Covid,” says Professor Emma McBryde, an epidemiologist at James Cook University, Townsville, Queensland, Australia.

    “Most models suggest that it would be better for the health system to open up slowly. Although there would be little change in how many people get infected, it could mean some lives are saved if the health system can function well.”

    But Xi threw the gates open. Right up until the day of repeal, local governments were still developing and enforcing zero-Covid measures and infrastructure. The city of Chongqing was building a 21,000-bed quarantine centre.

    Experts on health and Chinese politics have told the Observer they believe the local authorities were hamstrung. Any preparations for ending zero-Covid would be seen as a vote of no confidence in both the policy and Xi – an act of political suicide.

    习近平的非同寻常的反败为胜，让分析人士感到震惊和困惑。 中国不是唯一一个选择零冠状病毒战略的国家，当然也不是唯一一个一旦放弃就”放任其分裂”的国家。 但这是最后一次，全球卫生专家说，它本可以吸取很多教训——主要是确保疫苗接种和卫生资源在海啸袭击之前就足够了。

    澳大利亚昆士兰州汤斯维尔詹姆斯库克大学的流行病学家艾玛·麦克布赖德教授说:”所有政府都必须决定在一定阶段开放,否则封锁的后果将远远超过新冠肺炎的问题。”

    “大多数模型建议，卫生系统最好是慢慢开放。 虽然感染人数不会有太大变化，但如果卫生系统能够正常运作，就可能挽救一些人的生命。”

    但是习近平打开了大门。 直到废除当天,地方政府还在开发和实施零新冠肺炎对策和基础设施。 重庆市正在建造一个21000张病床的检疫中心。

    卫生专家和中国政治专家告诉《观察家》，他们认为地方当局束手无策。 任何结束零新冠肺炎的准备工作都将被视为对该政策和习近平不信任投票——这是一种政治自杀行为。

Every time, the government minder would interrupt the conversation to speak to the interviewee, clearly telling them not to say anything.

Anytime I spoke to them, they would immediately walk away and ignore me. Then, the moment I turned away, they would continue tailing us, while obstructing our reporting.

    There has been great concern that this year’s Spring Festival mass migration could quickly spread the coronavirus into more remote areas, to deadly effect.

    The government warned those in the cities not to go home this year if their elderly relatives had not yet been infected.

    Doctor Dong Yongming, who operates a very small village clinic, thinks at least 80% of residents there had already caught Covid.

    “All the villagers come to us when they’re sick,” he said. “We’re the only clinic here.”

    Most who had died there had underlying diseases, he said.

    In terms of managing the medicine they had as Covid hit the village, Dr Dong said they would not sell medicine to people beyond their needs.

    “For example, I would only give out four Ibuprofen tablets per person,” he said. “They don’t need two boxes. It’ll just be wasted.”

    However he said he believed the worst of this Covid wave was already behind them: “We haven’t had any patients in recent days.”

    Those who die in this region are buried in the fields. Farmers then continue to plant crops and raise livestock around the mounds of their ancestors.

    Driving along the road we noticed fresh mounds of earth with red flags placed on the top. A lot of them. A farmer herding goats confirmed that they were new graves.

    “Families have been burying elderly people here after they die. There are just too many,” he said.

    今年春节的大规模移民有可能使冠状病毒迅速扩散到更偏远的地区,造成致命的后果。

    政府警告那些年迈的亲戚们，如果他们还没有感染，今年就不要回家。

    经营一家非常小的乡村诊所的董永明医生认为,至少80%的居民已经感染了新冠肺炎。

    “所有的村民生病时都会来找我们，”他说。 “我们是这里唯一的诊所。”

    他说，大多数在那里死亡的人患有基础疾病。

    董博士表示,在管理新冠肺炎袭击村庄时拥有的药品方面,不会向超出需要的人出售药品。

    他说:”例如，我每人只分发四片布洛芬片。” “他们不需要两个箱子。 会白白浪费的。”

    但他表示,此次新冠肺炎疫情最严重的情况已经过去了,并表示:”最近没有患者。”

    在这个地区死去的人被埋在田野里。 然后，农民们继续在他们的祖先的土堆周围种植作物和饲养牲畜。

    开车沿路行驶时，我们注意到上面挂满了红旗的新土堆。 很多。 一位放羊的农民证实他们是新的坟墓。

    “老人死后，很多家庭都埋在这里。 “他说。
