After #BTS, Chinese Netizens Attack South Korean Pop Idols #MAMAMOO and Designer #LeesleHwang

After BTS, Chinese netizens attacked a South Korean girl group, MAMAMOO, claiming that the group had "embezzled Chinese culture" for having "Chinese characters" on their clothes in a show hosted by the South Korean television channel KBS on Dec 18, 2020.

South Korean designer Leesle Hwang was also attacked by Chinese netizens and was demanded to "explain her doing". Hwang responded that the said costumes is a modern rendition of Hanbok, Korean tranditional costume. The words on the clothes read “Hunmin Jeongeum”, a document issued by King Sejong the Great in 1446 that introduced the script of the Korean language, Hangul. 

Hwang asked back why one has to explain when Koreans are wearing Korean costumes and Korean scripts. “Was Sejong the Great year Chinese?” Hwang asked.

Covid restrictions imposed for Hebei capital

Chinese authorities on Wednesday imposed travel restrictions and banned gatherings in the capital city of Hebei province, which surrounds Beijing, in the latest escalation of measures to stave off another coronavirus wave.The province entered a "wartime mode" on Tuesday, having accounted for 20 of the 23 new locally transmitted Covid-19 cases reported in mainland China, more than the total of 19 cases in the province in the three previous days.Hebei also accounted for 43 of 64 new asymptomatic cases – patients who have been infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus but not yet showing symptoms of Covid-19.Hebei's capital, Shijiazhuang, a city of 11 million that reported 19 confirmed and 41 asymptomatic cases, ramped up countermeasures. It will require all travellers to present a negative nucleic acid Covid-19 test within the past 72 hours before boarding a train or an airplane, according to a statement by the Shijiazhuang Zhengding International Airport on Wednesday.The city has also launched a mass testing drive, shut its main long-range bus terminal, banned gatherings and ordered residential compounds to keep out non-residents. Parcel deliveries in Shijiazhuang have been suspended for three days.The total number of new mainland cases, including those originating from overseas, fell to 32 from 33 a day earlier – a small fraction of what China saw at the height of the outbreak that emerged from the central city of Wuhan in late 2019. The country does not count asymptomatic patients as confirmed Covid-19 cases.China continues to take aggressive measures to prevent another wave of the disease that has killed 4,634 people in China and nearly 1.9 million globally.Authorities in Dalian, in Liaoning province where new local infections have been reported in recent days, also barred residents of areas designated as medium or high-risk areas for the disease from leaving the city. Residents who do not live in such areas were told to refrain from unnecessary trips out of Dalian.Provincial and city governments frequently implement a combination of measures including mass testing, closing schools and restricting travel for those in areas with a cluster of new Covid-19 patients. Customs officials also conduct routine inspections of imported goods to check for traces of the coronavirus.At the same time, China has tried to reshape the narrative about when and where the pandemic began, with top officials highlighting studies they claim show the disease emerged in multiple regions. Beijing has also rejected accusations of wrongdoing or mishandling of the Covid-19 outbreak in the country.The head of the World Health Organisation (WHO) on Tuesday said he was "very disappointed" that China still had not authorised a team of international experts tasked with examining the origins of the coronavirus into the country.The 10-person team was due to set off in early January in order to probe early cases of the coronavirus. Two members had already departed but have since turned back or opted to go to a third country, WHO emergencies chief Mike Ryan said.The foreign ministry in Beijing said delays to the long-planned mission are "not just a visa issue".But talks were continuing over "the specific date and specific arrangement of the expert group's visit", foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told reporters on Wednesday.

So let’s try and understand this. "The Chinese biological laboratory in Wuhan is owned by Glaxo!
Who, by chance, owns Pfizer! (the one who produces the vaccine!)
Which, by chance, is managed by Black Rock finances.
Who, by chance, manages the finances of the Open Foundation Company (SOROS FOUNDATION)!
Which, by chance, serves the French AXA!
Coincidentally, he owns the German company Winterthur.
Who, by chance, built the Chinese laboratory in Wuhan!
Accidentally bought by the German Allianz.
Which, incidentally, has Vanguard as a shareholder.
Which is a shareholder of Black Rock.
Which controls the central banks and manages about ONE THIRD of the global investment capital.
Which, incidentally, is a major shareholder of MICROSOFT
The property of BILL GATES, who happens to be a shareholder of PFIZER (which sells the miracle VACCINE) and is currently the first sponsor of WHO !!!
If it is not clear enough why a bat came in and grabbed the SNAKE and the ENTIRE PLANET became infected?
Maybe the Covid 19 virus was not just an accident of nature?

Inside Canada’s Chinese-language media: 'Beijing has become the mainstream,' says ex-Sing Tao editor

Chinese language newspapers in Canada are not free from Chinese interference or censorship, says Victor Ho, previous editor-in-chief of Vancouver’s edition of Sing Tao. In 2017, he wrote that a Chinese dissident and Nobel Peace prize winner Liu Xiaobo’s persecution from the CCP “violated universal values of decency and human rights”, which took many of his colleagues by surprise. They told him “You cannot go back to Hong Kong, you cannot go back to China.”

Gloria Fung, a Toronto-based Hong Kong democracy advocate also experienced “blacklisting” from the CCP after her views were broadcast on the Chinese-language Fairchild TV. She states that the CCP is “brainwashing their nationals with propaganda, with fake news,” even in Canada.

The two have raised awareness regarding the variety of ways in which the CCP reaches its overseas Chinese community, including “indirect pressure on news outlets from advertisers and community groups allied with Beijing, and the availability of state-run CCTV channels on Canadian cable television”, as well as the distribution of free newspapers to the Chinese-Canadian community, “some of which Ho suspects are actually being funded — directly or indirectly — by the People’s Republic.”

Chinese COVID vaccine with unknown effectiveness? Don't worry, Hongkongers are the guinea pigs, despite the reverse response on a Brazilian testee, and the corruption between the manufacturer and officials.

It is now over a year since the coronavirus outbreak began in China, and yet again a team of World Health Organisation investigators has been denied access to the country to investigate where it came from.

🇯🇵 🇺🇸 Photo of a large pro-Trump march in Ginza, Japan today. Marchers chanted "stop the steal." "stop China" & "stop the CCP." The Japanese people know Trump’s foreign policy was good for Japan & global security. The mainstream media will never tell you about this march.
