What is there to debate? The COVID outbreak was handled poorly in Hubei initially. No need to white wash this.
Yeah but Reuter not only remind everyone how poorly Hubei handled outbreak but also implies China is still hiding somethings to this day and peoples angry with how Xi treat "hero".

I can't speak for all people in China but probably many are still angry over the botched handling in the beginning. However I don't think China is hiding anything on purpose. Discrepancies in infected/death numbers is due to chaos, not out of malice. As a matter of fact, after China waived medical costs for COVID patients they actually exhumed bodies of suspected COVID deaths and did swab tests. Very few other countries have done this.

Taiwan is pressuring the EU to get in line with US Hawks' priorities regarding China:

Alongside, slow walking TSMC chips meant for german automotive factories, looks like Tsai is gearing up for a declaration of de jure independence later this year

But the EU could incapacitate TSMC with a single stroke if Taiwan tries to utilize it as a geopolitical tool...

China is in a budding alliance with Russia. Don’t blame Ukraine for not cooperating.
Chinese generally have a positive view of Ukraine. However, Ukraine's current situation is entirely its own fault. A slav nation between EU and Russia. If somehow for some reason, it pisses off China, it will truly become a "slave" to the west side. All said and done, there are only three fundamentally independent countries on this planet, US China Russia. And history tells how reliable US has been when it comes for cousins. So, yes Ukraine is the only party to blame of all its recent ordeals.

Rest in peace.

Is there a way for forecast when glacier bursts occur? If it is possible to set up an advanced warning system then we could avoid huge loss of life.
Very limited knowledge regarding this. One of our group did thesis on earthquake prediction based on data mining. Read some from there. No a single viable method to predict this as of now.

Last throw of the dice by a dying empire. Well it's dead, but the British still like to think they have influence and sway in this would.

Playing politics by the Brits. Last time they tried that. I think it was the Moscow Olympics. How did it go? Let's see now. Oh yeah Alan wells Olympic champion. Coe and Ovett also. Oh please spare the they didn't 'represent' their country crap.

I don't think sanctioning countries or individuals who choose to boycott the Winter Olympics is a good idea as it would be perceived negatively by the fence sitting countries. It' sad indeed when Uk politicians believe their own fake news.
