Manifestación masiva en Wuhan: algo así lleva años sin pasar

Thousands of residents in Wuhan take to the streets to protest a lockdown mandate It may be the largest demonstration in the city in years Residents of another Chinese city also question the authorities about compliance with pandemic regulations We examine what happens around closing orders A U S missile defense system is moved to a military base in South Korea And in Tokyo U S officials are strengthening maritime ties with Japan and the Philippines Welcome to China in Focus my name is Julián Bertone Thousands of residents from the city of Wuhan took to the streets over the weekend o protest a local COVID-19 quarantine The Panglongcheng economic development zone of the city has been in lockdown for 10 days Local residents say there are no cases of the virus in many of the residential complexes in the area However they have been confined to their homes for days not knowing when they will be able to go out Some are facing the loss of their jobs We have been locked down for 10 days Our community is under the strictest measures They told us there was a positive case Those who sell vegetables can still enter the area but we cannot tolerate the high prices Residents from at least four neighborhoods took to the streets to protest Internet videos show that a large number of police arrived at the scene and after The protest led to several arrests The next day the Local Office for Pandemic Prevention and Control issued a letter They told the residents that the control measures would be adjusted The office did not give a specific deadline for lifting the lockdown In addition to quarantines reports from within China may suggest other reasons for protests According to videos circulating on the country's social media a residential complex in southern China was recently closed Some of the locals gathered large quantities of supplies And food items and later they began selling them inside the premises Security services opposed these makeshift businesses and asked the Residents who stopped doing them but the residents continued The security guards quickly called in reinforcement agents known as chenguán to help with the situation Formally known as the Urban Management and Law Enforcement Bureau the chengguan are not police officers but have similar authority Once they arrived at the location the chenguan began seizing the food bu When they were about to leave some residents brought up the policy of closing their compound They pointed out that the area was restricted access and that once inside no one could leave That means the chenguan should also be quarantined and a crowd urged them to confine themselves to the place Then to handle the situation the chenguán committed to the residents and lifted the closure orders of the premises People in Shanghai are standing in long lines to buy from a bakery bu In addition to food they say they want to fight against what they call unfair punishments The local authorities and return the kindness they received after confinement orders Let's look at what is happening The authorities fined a Shanghai bakery for operating without a license During the prolonged COVID-19 closure this spring but residents are opposing it To show their support for this business called Baguette de Paris the neighbors are doing Long lines to buy their products and post their delicious bites online Many also urge the authorities to revoke the penalty Parisian baguette is a chain of Korean bakeries The Shanghai authorities accuse the store quoting of producing products that violate the city's regulations That is why the business lost four days of revenue and they issued a fine valued at 10 times their daily income On the other hand residents refer to Baguette de Paris as a fair company That's because they offered to feed people at normal and fair prices during the closure orders That is in comparison to group food purchases officially designated by the city and organized by the authorities where the prices of these products were high ofte Often much higher than normal but the residents under confinement had no choice but to buy them anyway In total Baguette de Paris faces a fine of nearly $95 000 but the The incident seems to be giving the company good publicity Next let's move to South Korea an American missile defense system The vehicles carrying the equipment entered the Sionju base on Sunday night The anti-missile system is called THAAD T-H-A-A-D Its installation was one of President Yun Soo-kyo's campaign promises and part of the plan With his promise to take a tougher stance toward North Korea South Korea deployed part of the THAAD system in 2017 to counter nuclear threats But the measure caused anger in China which stated that the system could threaten its own security Therefore the former South Korean president Moon Jae-in promised not to deploy more THAAD systems But Yun the current president promised greater cooperation with Washington including The acquisition of more THAAD systems to respond to the growing nuclear threat from North Korea The United States is strengthening its maritime security ties with more countries in the Indo-Pacific region A meeting of diplomats and defense officials from three countries was held in Tokyo on Tuesday The United States condemned recent actions by the Chinese regime such as the militarizatio of maritime spaces harassment of foreign fishermen and other civilian vessels and the depletion of maritime resources China quickly strengthened its military power It is the second country in the world with the highest military spending only surpassed by the United States The Solomon Islands say they plan to lift the ban on Navy ships Foreign ships enter their ports although Australia and New Zealand were already named as exceptions Last week the Solomon Islands suspended visits to their ports by foreign navy vessels It was after he failed to respond to a U S Coast Guard vessel's request to refuel The measure raised alarms about the island's growing ties with China The island nation is becoming a source of contention among the United States China and Australia It has deep ports that are ideal for military bases and used to serve as a barracks Strategic general for Japan and the United Kingdom when they controlled the Pacific During World War II the Solomon Islands were also a critical battlefield between the Allies and Japan But the country gradually moved towards the Chinese communist regime In 2019 it changed its diplomatic allegiance from Taiwan to Beijing and this April signed a security agreement with China The West raised concerns that this agreement could lead to the establishme From a Chinese military base on the island located more than 1 600 kilometers from the coast of Australia At a press conference the Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs was asked She was disappointed that the United States was still not exempt from the Solomon Islands' ban During World War II American soldiers fought and died to liberate the Solomon Islands from Japan Known as the Battle of Guadalcanal it was one of the most critical military campaigns of the war Wong said that the U S ambassador to Australia Carolyn Kennedy visited the Solomon Islands to commemorate the battle and added that the United States is part of of the region's history as well as its present and future And in Europe Germany says it plans to show more strength in the Indo-Pacific region joining and other Western nations in an effort to counter the growing territorial ambitions of the Chinese Communist Party or CCP Last year Berlin sent its first warship in nearly 20 years to the disputed waters of the South China Sea The German defense chief recently said that Berlin will send more warships And it will join simulations with allies such as Australia in the coming years The tensions in the Indo-Pacific are especially high at the moment following the China will conduct its largest military exercises in history in early August around Taiwan which it claims as its own territory At the question of whether Germany could send a warship through the stra The German defense chief said it was a delicate matter that had to be decided at the highest political level as the United States had done Germany has historically been cautious towards China The country is Germany's largest economic partner since 2015 Only last year did China and Germany exchange goods worth nearly 270 billion dollars Germany is also the largest economy in Europe and one of the main allies of the United States in the region There was nothing in this highly classified document that provided any evidence that Trump was a Russian asset That doesn't seem to make much sense I don't even know why that was necessary I think it's part of the tactics to try to increase pressure around Trump Two FBI boats are stationed in the pool behind my house I acknowledge that the purpose of this was intimidation Donald Trump as a human being as a man who is now a politician does not belong to anyone That is what makes him very dangerous It is fatal for the interests invested in this left and right city The Chinese drug regulator approved an inhaled vaccine against COVID-19 for emergency use over the weekend But there are no available data on its effectiveness and safety The Chinese company that developed the vaccine is called CanSino It is taken by mouth through a nebulizer It is a device that turns liquid medication into vapor and allows it to be absorbed easily in the lungs The drug is promoted as the first of its kind but more research is still needed Administrative approvals before it goes to market The company states that sales will depend on the COVID-19 situation in the country and In foreign countries as well as the vaccination rate in China CanSino claims its inhalable vaccine can induce strong immunity but did not provide data to support its claim What do COVID-19 tests have in common with ancestry or genealogy genetic tests Since both take our DNA and both industries often originate from China Some companies have already made headlines such as the Beijing Genomics Institute or BGI for opening laboratories in the United States during the pandemic But what is the concern regarding this Tiffany Mayer spoke with John Mills former director of cybersecurity policy at the Department For more information on the topic visit the United States Department of Defense First of all as an individual risk they are providing data to Chinese intelligence We must assume the civilian-military fusion of China in this moment in 2022 as well as their ability to infiltrate the networks of any of these companies genetic So even if it's an American company we just have to accept it just like with any other company in any other sector The evidence is overwhelming China probably has already entered and stolen information or else observed and collected it I think this is one of the first concerns Now secondly with BGI I noticed that even The New York Times published an article It is very concerning A national counterintelligence official also expressed his concern and it is a The U S government's activities which lead the counterintelligence efforts throughout the country and expressed concern about these companies such as BGI I would say if we have a threat to individuals the threat is also to the country Thirdly its filtering its subsequent filtering This is to create as we already said digital twins of us With this you know like the Wuhan virus they can create an engineered virus We are at a point where we can learn with sufficient data Everything revolves around big data big data and big data analysis with the You can set objectives such as releasing a virus for a specific set of genes Going back to the first point you mentioned even if American companies do not deliver Actively sharing your information with the Chinese regime allows it to access the same Is that what you're saying Absolutely there is overwhelming evidence regarding this Companies shouldn't think why would China enter us What are we Well we don't have to worry about this China is collecting information and intelligence and is also preparing these companies to be excluded from the business So they should be worried because that's what China did to the sector Starting with textiles in the late 80s and early 90s And with all the different sectors of electronics drones etc It devastated the American economic sector sector after sector Then when a company says well we are complying with all these regulations Cybersecurity therefore we are safe but complying with these standards does not mean they are secure They must assume that China has already entered its networks I'm sorry There is overwhelming evidence that this is the case And what about genetic material the DNA of people what can the Chinese regime do with this information They can create a digital twin of us That's how they know about each of us I assume I have a file in China You probably have a file Tiffany They have the ability to create complex models of each of us Therefore they are making digital twins of us What do they do with it They can do all sorts of terrible things In the 90s before 9/11 we used to ask why would someone want to enter an airplane cockpit You know in flight That makes no sense We found the same thing here There are all sorts of terrible things that we never even think could happen without any restrictions So they have our data They can also release a virus adapted for certain ethnic groups different from the Han They can be adapted for everyone But it does not attack the Han ethnicity All of this could be possible Taking this into account from an individual level say here in the United States what can people do to protect their digital identities or their DNA information If you are from the media a media personality if you are or were Related to the U S government I simply wouldn't take a DNA test There are many companies that offer to trace your heritage It sounds great You can identify your family tree wonderful But it's not a good idea It 's not a good idea right now I wouldn't do it I would overlook it Keep in mind that anything you do digitally is being monitored In addition to your DNA all your medical records I would keep a very close eye on them And again the basics apply to us at home Just like in the U S government 97% of the real threat from security breaches comes from the failure to use security factors It could be an insider who leaves a door open In cyber terms leaving a door open Thus the threat can enter through the back door In the home try to always use two factors for any of your login sessions There are all sorts of ways to do this Not just with a username and password There are also validations through your phone your mobile number That is much harder to break into You look at your incoming emails and try to judge most things If you don't know something mark it as spam Don't open it don't click the link And the third one is something that we find difficult to do But it's about understanding the ideals of brand companies because they have a brand to protect and must protect the survival of the company e price of the shares etc They are going to be more rigorous in ensuring that everyone who works for her is trustworthy John thank you very much for joining us It's a pleasure to have you on the show Thank you Tiffany It's always an honor to be with you That's all for today on China in Focus Thank you for joining us and see you tomorrow
