This article is trying to tell the US how dangerous the cult thinking and disinformation is. As Japan has its own painful example of a religious cult in the recent history. The group is called Aum Shinrikyo, who spread the disinformation of a rigged election and pretended to be the savior of the state. Sounds familiar?
Eventually this group used toxic Sarin nerve gas to commit the world's first indiscriminate terrorist attack in a subway station.

The Queen's Gambit - learn English from TV series
I wanna share a popular tv show with you, which can be a good choice to acquire new vocabulary. No need to say that the story is quite attractive.
It's suitable for English learning cuz those lines are causal overall so I don't have a problem understanding the story. After watching it with subs, I'll collect useful expressions based on the episode's transcripts.

Bill Maher's Fake Eulogy for Trump Is as Mean as You'd Expect
He died as he lived: wearing makeup and lying in front of all of us
How hilarious He is.

From heaven to hell, Alibaba not just fucked up its biggest IPO ever in history, but also messed up with the world's largest and fiercest government. So pity, Alibaba. Is it still worth working as 996?

Ex-Zoom China Employee Faces U.S. Dissident Censoring Charge - Bloomberg
Zoom is great, revolutionary, the game-changer in the pandemic driven software industry. The only flaw is that it's censored in China. Actually Zoom has even disabled free calls in China. In so many countries Zoom works so perfectly except in China. China has been the Achilles' Heel of Zoom, which is ironic because it's projected to be a Chinese software, at least some are saying that.

China reassures public of ‘balanced’ coal supply for winter as provinces cut back power to factories | South China Morning Post
A lot of places are out of electricity right now, people are suffering. Is it the backfire of the ban of Australian coal? Or is it just the regularity of power capacity? Idk.
A list of summary info:
Domestic coal industry price is soaring, while the global industry is declining. Some Australian coal cargo ships are floating on the sea. Some places in Zhejiang and Hunan are shot of power, some kind of usage curbs are imposed. There are even places out of Nature Gas. Govt says it's a regularity of electricity quota limitation, plus a tighter control of environment protection.https://twitter.com/OhnoCN/status/1339411409742909442

Pfizer Says It Has Millions Of Vaccine Doses ‘Sitting In Our Warehouse’—But Hasn’t Been Told Where To Send Them
It's like the Murphy's law saying: Anything that can go wrong will go wrong. So when the Trump administration blames Pfizer that the delay of the distribution of the vaccine next week is "manufacturing hiccups", Pfizer defends themselves that their manufacturing is fine, it's just the vaccine is sitting in the warehouse and has nowhere to go.

There are moles inside the party. There are moles inside a lot of companies working for the party. Interesting. When the party doesn't care about the privacy of its citizens, the citizens I guess don't care its either.

Chinese Authorities Detain Bloomberg News Beijing Staff Member - Bloomberg
😧 Sorry, poor guy.
Is it too late to say thank you to those foreign journalists working in China? Nowadays to know China, you'd better read their articles rather than the state media's. That is the way.
