Hong Kong food is always appetizing, especially dim sum, highly recommended.

Thank the YouTuber for making this really informative video, and even with dual subtitles! I know it must took them much effort.

Finally, the first day the WHO experts team spent in Wuhan, if not includes the preceding 14 days spent in quarantine.

I'm interested in this case because of how much money has been involved in it. He is not even the biggest fish targeted by the DOJ's China Initiative, which is I think a kind of racist political policy by the previous Trump administration, solely judged from its name.

I remember one example is the chairman of Harvard's chemistry department, who was a prominent scientist in the academical world. But he was involved in far less money than Gang Chen's case.

Chen has also been granted more titles in China. For example in just one city Wuhan, my hometown, he was given the “Top Talent
Wuhan City Partner,” and “3551 Optics Valley Talent Plan” awards, and he has received huge amount of money from Wuhan under his own name, not related to MIT. Not mention that he has tight connection with Shenzhen Govt, and he helped MIT build the relation with the SUSTech university of Shenzhen. So how deep is this guy rooted in China?

Here is the criminal complaint of Chen:

Here is a letter from his ~100 MIT colleagues:

An interesting finding: the country who started the trade war suffered more than the targeted country. A lesson from history can never be learned.

But the author didn't mention the wine industry in Australia, since China has also imposed a heavy tariff on it. I remember when the news appeared on social media, it incurred a firestorm, everybody seemed to support Australia wine. Also it was a pain for Chinese consumers because it meant the food safety issue is deteriorating.

A series of executive orders are decreed at the first day of his term, mostly to undo his predecessor's legacy. Well done.

The headline image reminds me vividly of Wuhan in January. That month when everywhere in China were just preparing the lunar new year, then all of a sudden, a new pheumonia of unknown causes occurred in a big bustling city of Wuhan. The city was almost crashed by the novel coronavirus, and followed by a total lockdown. At first the hospitals were all occupied by urgent patients, people were asking and begging for help online. Then the municipal government set up some kinds of provisional hospitals, some were in the cabins, and some were in the stadiums. Even with all those, hospitals were still not enough. And doctors and nurses, as well as PPEs, were all desperately needed. So voluntary doctors and nurses were heading there from all provinces of China. Finally the number of volunteers were huge, but still people were dying. The fatality rate was high at that time, especially for the elders.

That was a big tragic moment of a city's history. But the exact number of how many people dead because of the coronavirus is still not clear. I mean the government has of course given the number. But you never know if it's the truth. How many were under-played, how many were buried at home, and how many were caused by the side effect of the lockdown.

Now the experts of WHO are ongoing their investigation of the origin the virus in Wuhan. I don't think they will care about the mortality number of Wuhan. After all science can never beat politics, right?

Amanda Gorman recited her poem at President Biden’s inauguration ceremony outside the U.S. Capitol. The 22-year-old is the first National Youth Poet Laureate and the youngest poet to read at a presidential inauguration.

What's the weather like there? -20 degree? -50 degree?

God bless Russia!

I think this is the most complete one for the celebration. Enjoy!

So Mongolian prime minister resigned, after the protest over a Covid19 infection of a mother and her newborn baby.

A mini Spotify player.

I know there are already quite a few Spotify players out there in the chrome web store. But none of them seems "right". Some of them manipulate the code in Spotify's web player, and some of them even rely on the desktop app of Spotify. But I'm just using the official Spotify API to play music at the background of Chrome. It's simple and useful.
