    Letters | What drives the popularity of a Chinese comedy about lay-offs Readers discuss the prevailing mood of anxiety among China’s working professionals, the failings of democracy, and Western officials’ fixation with Hong Kong’s national security law The highly publicised lay-offs started by certain tech giants drew wide attention and negative reactions. To avoid similar repercussions, some companies are undertaking hidden lay-offs. As the term implies, companies do not openly declare that they are reducing staff to cut costs. Instead, they package the process as high-quality development or corporate optimisation, while quietly dismissing employees deemed unsuitable because of their age, educational level, salary or because they are challenging to manage.

    Take a look at this one, if you haven't already. It puts Gweilo to shame, especially in the 2nd half. But it may be sponsored by iChongqing.

    About 1,000 tourists trapped in China's Xinjiang after avalanches Around 1,000 tourists remain stranded in a remote holiday village after avalanches hit China's northwestern Xinjiang region with meters-high snow and fickle weather impeding evacuation, state TV reported on Tuesday. Road access to Hemu village, a scenic destination near the borders of Kazakhstan, Russia and Mongolia where the tourists were trapped, has been cut off by avalanches for several days now. The village is situated in Xinjiang's Altay Prefecture where continuous snowfall in some areas has lasted 10 days, it said.

    China scientists clone first rhesus monkey using new method Scientists in China have successfully cloned a rhesus monkey using a modified version of the technique that created Dolly the sheep, providing valuable insights into the scientific process. The cloned monkey, named ReTro, has survived for over two years, and researchers hope this technique will lead to the creation of identical monkeys for medical research. However, the success rate for the new method remains very low. The scientists replaced the trophoblast cells, which were causing abnormalities in cloned embryos, with cells from a non-cloned embryo, significantly improving the success rate of cloning by SCNT. In a groundbreaking feat, Chinese researchers have achieved the long-sought goal of cloning a rhesus monkey. marking a major leap forward in primate cloning technology. This accomplishment comes over 25 years after Dolly the sheep became the first cloned mammal, ushering in a new era of scientific exploration. The cloning pf the rhesus monkey stands as a significant accomplishment due to its widespread use in medical esearch, given its physiological similarity to humans, which is why the researchers could speed up drug testing According to a BBC report, previous attempts to clone a thesus have either not led to births or the offspring have died a few hours later. In mammals, sexual reproduction leads to offspring made up of a mixture of genes from their father and mother. In cloning, techniques are used to create a genetically identical copy of a single animal.

    India vs. China: A Comparative Analysis of Competitiveness Lei's Real Talk - this one is mostly India-focused 7 out of 10 of the world's container ports are in China The dynamics in Indo-Pacific are shifting. China’s economy has lost momentum and is declining. India, having a young population, a rich history and a fast-growing economy, is attracting global attention. Now the world’s most populous country, India is expected to surpass Japan to become the third largest economy by 2027. But India also faces numerous challenges. In an era of global economic shifts, the comparison between India and China presents a study of contrasts and similarities. 1:15 40 years of similar economy models 2:23 India’s advantage over China 5:57 India’s areas of weakness https://youtu.be/q1Ti2w1dss0

    from abcNews 1. Chinese researchers isolated and mapped the virus that causes Covid-19 at least two weeks before Beijing revealed details of the virus to the world, congressional investigators said. Chinese officials in December 2019 were still publicly calling the outbreak in Wuhan (🔐 read for free) a viral pneumonia “of unknown cause” and had yet to close a market that was the site of an initial outbreak. The extra weeks could have proved crucial in helping the international medical community pinpoint how Covid spread, develop medical defenses and start on a vaccine, specialists have said. “China has kept refining our COVID response based on science to make it more targeted,” a Chinese Embassy spokesperson said. “China’s COVID response policies are science-based, effective, and consistent with China’s national realities. They can stand the test of history.” The new information doesn’t shed light on whether Covid came from an infected animal or a lab leak.

    Well I'm back home - still with the catheter. I guess they wanted the beds, but did say that I can go anywhere to get it removed. The (endoscopic) prostate surgery was Monday, today is Thurs.
