When in reality, across much of the world, said policies are turning many people with no real, previous opinions on China into critics. And people are not in awe of the awkward, overheated Twitter posts — many are laughing at them. 3/

It is indeed a shame when people are denied the right to peacefully assemble.

It starts; so soon. For the first time in 30 years, Hong Kong authorities denied permission to hold the #TiananmenVigil . If there is any doubt about Beijing’s intent, it is to deny Hong Kongers a voice and a choice, making them the same as mainlanders. So much for two systems.

An interesting turn of events: WHO chief calls out China’s lack of transparency and says he's willing to deploy a team to investigate the lab theory.

WHO chief, U.S. and other world leaders criticize China for limiting access of team researching...

The comments came in response to a report on a joint WHO-Chinese team’s month-long visit to Wuhan.

When considering the CDCs latest on masks, it is worth remembering that they waited months to recommend masks in the first place, essentially ignoring the experience of *all of East Asia,* a decision that many public health experts see as significant, dangerous misstep.

Opinion: There are too many journalists in Singapore right now and too many of them are posting pictures of their hotel’s infinity pool.

Trump now says he will let Microsoft buy TikTok, but only if Treasury gets a cut. So the strategy is oppose state capitalism by engaging in state capitalism, I guess?

Brussels mood: I’m at an accreditation office getting a new badge. Pull something out of my backpack and the guy asks with a wink if it’s a bag of cash from the Parliament.

This story about China's offer to help Malaysia cover up the 1MBD fraud in return for "Belt and Road" projects is incredibly revealing. But one example: Officials offered to bug the Hong Kong homes of @WSJ reporters investigating the fraud.

This is just huge. China has said for years that the U.S. must provide specific evidence on Huawei. Now we have specific, detailed allegations. I’ll be shocked if this is not a turning point for the company’s global ambitions.

After 173 days with no childcare, my baby went back to daycare today. So many feelings — relief, nerves — but also anger, so much anger, that there is still so much danger when simple public health measures might have kept people safe.

Really, really have to wonder if America would have been wearing masks earlier if people actually recognized the hard-earned expertise of folks in Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, China, etc.
