WHO Refuses to Invite Taiwan to Assembly Once More
The World Health Organization (WHO) has once again refused to invite Taiwan to participate in the World Health Assembly as an observer.
The World Health Assembly was held over a six-day meeting. The discussion on the first day concerned the invitation of Taiwan to participate in the assembly as an observer.
Representatives of the US and many countries with diplomatic relations with Taiwan believed that Taiwan should not be excluded for political reasons. However, facing strong objection from the Chinese representatives, the chairman of the assembly eventually made the verdict not to include the proposal of inviting Taiwan in the assembly’s agenda. This was the fourth time that WHO has refused to invite Taiwan to the World Health Assembly.

Trudeau Hopes Biden to Keep Pressure on China for the Release of Two Canadians Citizen
Canadian Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau said on Monday that he hopes the future administration of the US President-elect Biden keep pressure on China to release the two Canadian citizens.
At the request of the United States in December 2018, Canada arrested Meng Wanzhou, the deputy chair of the board and chief financial officer of the telecom giant, Huawei, at the Vancouver Airport in transit. China subsequently detained a former Canadian diplomat Michael Kovrig and a businessman Michael Spavor, who were indiced in June on suspicion of spying on state secrets and intelligence for a foreign country. Western countries widely criticize China of detaining the two men in retaliation for the arrest of Meng Wanzhou.

The European Parliament discusses further measures to counter foreign intervention, focusing on China and Russia
Europe is considering implementing an “Anti-Foreign Intervention Law", like Australia, to contend against foreign political propaganda and to influence the development of local democracy.
The European Parliament’s Special Committee on Foreign Interference and Disinformation (#INGE) discussed a 33-page draft report in Brussels on Tuesday (9th November). Among them, 40 mentions of China, more than twice of Russia. Participants urged the EU to set up a special task force to monitor the intervention from China.
After the INGE delegation composed of transnational members of the European Parliament visited Taiwan last week, the European Parliament this week immediately discussed that the #EU should take further measures to deal with foreign intervention and threats such as China and Russia.
A draft report mentioned that some authoritarian powers try to penetrate Europe, especially the United Front Work Department of the Chinese Communist Party (#CCP). The report stated that the counteraction could take Australia and New Zealand as a reference, and it will be submitted to the European Parliament for a non-binding vote early next year.

Surveillance for All: China Pushes for Permanent Health Code by 2025
Although the #WHO had clearly stated that there had been a drastic 90% decrease in COVID deaths across the world, China had not embraced this optimistic view. Instead, it has declared a goal of making the Health QR Code mandatory for everyone in the country by 2025, enforcing a long-term, real-time surveillance for its citizens.
On Nov 9, The National Health Commission of China announced on its website that by 2025, every Chinese citizen will have a dynamically-managed electronic health file and a fully-functional electronic health code. The announcement is jointly published by the National Health Commission, State Administration of State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention.
According to the announcement, the health code systems currently in use are run by each province separately, and the systems from different provinces do not generally recognize each other's codes. In response, the central government aims to create a basic, inter-connected surveillance platform by 2025, in which each resident will have a dynamically-managed electronic health file and a fully-functional electronic health code.
With such a system in place, the Chinese government will be able to leverage big data to trace the so-called "high-risk individuals", establishing a long-term, real-time surveillance and control of the Chinese populace.

China Establishes Bureau to Take "Special Care" of High Net Worth Individuals
China has established a new bureau to oversee citizens with over $10 million in their bank accounts, Asia Finance reports.
The "High-Net-Worth Individuals Management Bureau" will build up a database of taxpayer profiles using their electronic records. Citizens moving out of China are also targeted for further scrutiny, to ensure that they fully pay the requisite taxes for cancelling their household registration before leaving the country.
The bureau will enact a four-pronged approach to take "special care" of these high-net-worth individuals: to strengthen surveillance on non-taxable businesses, information sharing, verification, and "cloud-ification". New departments will be created to enable information exchange with the People's Bank of China, as well as verifying these individuals mobile phones and various registrations.
This is seen as the first policy enacted since President Xi Jinping's proposal for "common prosperity" in the National People's Congress earlier this year. To support these changes, the tax department plans to hire an additional 25,000 staff, accounting for 67% of new hiring this year, an increase of 3.3% from last year.
These increases in government spending and surveillance imply that the rich in China will need to pay an increasingly higher price if they wish to move their money overseas.
