Just checked, I didn't state this:FTFY.
Do not have misunderstanding what the Chinese Communist Party is about and what they do to their people. I've worked with the Chinese since 1995, have colleagues and friends there, have traveled on business trips to several cities, engage each and every day with them. They work from 7am in the morning and are still working 10/11pm. And all weekend too. The intermittent, seemingly random lockdowns continue. When you get caught in a lock-down quarantine, sealed in, you get government rations which are not enough to maintain your weight.
Wherever the virus came from, and that's debatable, China, if we don't want to say the CCP because that offends, deliberately seeded the world with it whilst closing off Wuhan internally. The second country hit, big time, was Italy. On account of all the Wuhan expats working in those Tuscany rag trade sweat shops.
Academics like China, the students for one, but they also like the financial rewards for doing little blogs where you get paid amounts unheard of in the west about your ongoing teaching at the facility. I know what it's all about, thanks.
