I really hope this is a genuine new lead on Madeleine McCann. I've seen lots of instances in recent weeks of how the pandemic has made it hard for criminals to keep below ground... (even though the flip side is concerns about more data being gathered on ppl than ever before)...

The Dan Wootton/Chris Bryant spat is quite a thing, isn't it?
A reminder that the World Health Organisation's current stance on herd immunity for Covid-19 is that it is "scientifically problematic and unethical".

The footage coming out of Tangshan today is horrific, every woman's worst nightmare.

Reporting China's recovery from Covid-19 is not "spreading propaganda"

In a WORLD PANDEMIC, its recovery is a *good thing*

That makes sense! From everything I've seen, there's no real evidence to suggest China's controlling its domestic narrative on Myanmar. On the contrary, Chinese soc media users are using it as an opportunity to talk about their country's own censorship!
Just seen this on
#Weibo
. It's quite something to see that what's happening in Myanmar has given some Chinese an opportunity to talk about other, long-censored stuff.
Comment says: "Myanmar, this scene, Deja vu".

I don't know who needs to hear this, but it's ok this year to not want to take a holiday, to not want to rush back to the shops/eating out, to want to spend more time at home.

For non-Chinese speakers - on the door are the words 11月 日. That means the 11th month, and then there should be a number before the day to indicate the date.
If it was today’s date you’d see 11月20日. Yet there’s no day - it appears to have been blurred over.
