Thanks. It can be a lot of work on some days, but it's worth it.

Why's it deemed newsworthy by the NYT, now that's a good question in itself. Probably because they're trying to create some anti-China spin, because that best serves the US government. Focusing on foreign enemies takes the spotlight of domestic friction, which keeps the status quo intact. They're trying to create fears China is killing people en masse in secret. Which is possible. But if this is the best evidence they have, I'm not yet convinced.

That's what is seems. The enemy has changed from Iraq and the middle-eastern countries to China.

Thank you for your service. I think the urns make the Chinese Government seem sympathetic, human, and Confucian but the opposite is true. That kinder, gentler image of China is what the NYT wants us to believe. That is entirely my speculation. They are all in it together, also my opinion but as you said, at this point who knows?

Now, I'm going to the gym. I expect one other guy will be there and three young ladies will be going around spraying disinfectant on everything. I don't know where they get the alcohol from but it is all tied down with some synthetic thread that would require bolt cutters if someone wanted to steal the bottles.

G7? G20? Is the US and China members?

Inter(nationalism); Nationalism is being used to push globalism. It sounds counterproductive but it's not. The goal is to create economic internationalist policies while maintaining nationalism and ridding of patriotism.

There's lots of unilateral neoconservative propaganda against China which now stands in the way of unilateral geopolitical agendas. It's an industrial, economic war.

China, of course, is no saint. It does appear though that some idealogues in the oligarch ciricles of the US are promoting China and its surveillance system as a doable system that could be implemented; not that America doesn't already have mass surveillance, so it might just be a perception management campaign to desensitize people.
