China reports first coronavirus deaths in over a year amid omicron surge
Two deaths reported on Saturday, the first since January 2021, as China continues to pursue ‘zero-Covid’ strategy
China this week sent about 400 healthcare workers to bolster the ranks of Hong Kong’s anti-pandemic staff, a move made possible after waiving licensing requirements for non-local doctors.
Mainland China’s Covid-19 data is counted separately from that in Hong Kong, which is a special administrative region in China and is facing a much larger outbreak with a higher death toll.
With China now facing its worst outbreak since late 2019, officials have vowed to double down on the zero-tolerance strategy to contain the current surge.

To say one is doubling down on the zero-tolerance strategy is hyperbolic hyperbole. How does one double-down on "zero"? The Chinese government knows its zero-tolerance strategy is a failure as a measure to control Omnicron. However, the main purpose of zero-tolerance strategy in China is population control on the mainland in preparation for war against Taiwan.
Hong Kong Covid crisis: why is the death rate so high?
Low vaccination rates among the elderly, low rates of prior infection and an overwhelmed healthcare system have contributed to create the perfect storm
Mercedes Hutton, reporter for Hong Kong Free Press
March 18, 2022
Hong Kong has recorded 5,000 Covid deaths and is expected to pass 1 million cases among its population of 7.5 million – so how did the situation become so bad?
Hong Kong is in the grip of its worst Covid outbreak. The surge in infections during the fifth wave has outpaced other cities around the world. Analysis of government data by Hong Kong Free Press showed there were almost 900 confirmed infections per 100,000 Hong Kong citizens in early March, when cases peaked. The all-time high for the pandemic was previously held by New York City, with 500 cases per 100,000 residents, in January.

China-Taiwan
China has stated explicitly that it wishes to unify the island of Taiwan (which it regards as a province) with the mainland. It claims that it wants to do that peacefully, but forcefully if necessary. Without going into details China is taking step-by-step internal measures to ensure the success of any "necessity".
If China finds it necessary to use force in its designs on Taiwan then the issue becomes whether it will be incremental or overwhelming. If incremental then it would involve control of Taiwan's smaller islands close to the mainland followed by islands closer to Taiwan and finally Taiwan itself. If overwhelming then it may appear to be just another training or exploratory exercise that quickly transforms into an actual invasion. There is little doubt that both scenarios have been explored in detail.
One is not sure though whether or not the West fully anticipates what an overwhelming scenario may look like particularly in the naval area. China may use an unconventional strategy. For example, one can envision such a strategy which is difficult to counter. Through an analysis and assessent of facts one can reasonably be confident the Chinese military know about it.
History may also provide a clue as to what may transpire with regard to Taiwan. Chinese authorities have done their best to erase the memory of Tiananmen Square. There is more to the Tiananmen Square story, however, than meets the eye. Decades ago, the author was told of a story purportedly behind the scenes. Potentially, if true, that story could relate directly to Taiwan in the future.
Hong Kong (CNN) Morgues are nearly at capacity, hospitals overwhelmed and, as fears grow of a citywide lockdown, panicked shoppers have stripped supermarket shelves bare.
Hong Kong -- once lauded as a zero-Covid success story -- is now battling a deadly outbreak reminiscent of the early days of the pandemic, despite having had more than two years to prepare.
With locally transmitted cases surging past 312,000 in the city of 7.4 million in just the last two weeks, hospitals and embattled health workers have been stretched to breaking point. The numbers are likely to be far higher due to suspicions people are not reporting their positive test results for fear of being separated from families and put into government isolation facilities.

D. Carlton Rossi informed Dawu Group of COVID-19 on January 16, 2020 based on reports from the British medical journal called The Lancet. Later, the Group decided to send 100 medical personnel to the front lines of Wuhan at the height of the COVID-19 crisis in March 2020. The Party rejected the help.
The author volunteered to handle administrative duties in Hong Kong if Dawu volunteers would join him there. He believed the virus could be contained if proper measures were taken for treatment. At that time, there were less than 100 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Hong Kong.
The author wished to apply his experience during the SARS crisis in Beijing and Langwuzhuang Village in the spring of 2003. In Beijing, he was at Ground Zero of the epidemic. The restaurant across the road from the Graduate School's apartments was converted into a SARS hospital. He was one of the few foreigners left in Beijing. For example, most personnel of the embassies had left.
He then travelled to Langwuzhuang Village to set up a college on behalf of Dawu Group in May 2003. SARS did not stop him in 2003. His intention was to stop SARS-CoV-2 in Hong Kong in 2020.
沙漏 Sandglass 无限 Infinity
From Infinity to Time as Measured by a Sandglass
The Mandate of Heaven was a compact between the people of the Zhou Dynasty (1046 BCE-256 BCE) and the supreme god. It conferred legitimacy on the Zhou ruler. The ruler was bound to uphold harmony and honor within the empire. The Zhou was the longest lasting dynasty at 790 years.
The Han Dynasty (202 BCE-220 BCE) was the second longest imperial dynasty at 422 years. The Four Seas (四海) concept was a pre-Han Dynasty belief which was held since at least the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty. However, the Han Dynasty defined it more clearly and expanded upon the concept. The seas included the East China Sea, South China Sea, Lake Balkash as the West Sea and Lake Baikal as the North Sea.
Today, China's offshore Four Seas are the Bohai, Yellow, East China and South China. It was announced on November 28, 2011 that military exercises were held near the Paracel Islands in the South China Sea, East Sea, in the north Bohai Sea and Yellow Sea. The exercises continue to the present time.
The most disputed area with respect to legal rights pertains to the South China Sea. On September 25, 2017, China announced a claim called the Four Sha” (四沙 meaning four sand). It extends sovereignty and maritime jurisdiction to the island groups called Dongsha, Xisha, Nansha, and Zhongsha.
The poet is reminded of the "X" symbol in the middle of the ruler on the Selden Map. It resembles infinity. The symbol is employed by the poet on both the Northwest Rectangle (Silk Road trade routes) and expanded Illustration D (includes Maritime Trade Routes) to define the extent of Chinese territory based in part on the old and modified concept of Four Seas during the Han Dynasty. The horizontal infinity symbol represents an unlimited period of time.
With respect to the human time span one might consider the period from the Zhou to the Qing Dynasty which is exceedingly long. However, if the infinity symbol is turned so that it becomes vertical it resembles a sandglass or hour glass. It measures short periods of time. For example, the shift for a Chinese sailor during the Ming Dynasty as measured by a sandglass was two and a half hours or one tenth of the day. Therefore, the shift from what had been the Nine Dash Line to a shifting sands Four Sha claim seems to be equivalent to that of a sandglass with respect to time. It is short and rather fleeting compared to the longer 2957 year period from Zhou to Qing which involved both the Mandate of Heaven compact and the Four Seas concept.
However, the Chinese government and Communist Party is officially atheist. They have connected the Four Seas which are adjacent to China. Since the South China Sea links the Pacific and Indian Oceans it then becomes part of the One Belt One Road plan which is an expanded view of Xi Jinping Thought. One Belt One Road has been renamed the "Belt and Road Initiative" (BRI) which is intended to join China with more than 100 countries through railroad, shipping and energy projects.
The BRI may be regarded as a grandiose scheme. Historically speaking, how have grandiose schemes fared in Chinese history? Qin Shi Huangdi (秦始皇) was the first emperor of a united China. In the North, he built the precursor of the Great Wall to defend the Qin state from the Xiongnu and in the South he built the Lingqu canal to transport supplies to the army. He was unable to secure an elixir of life from the island of Zhifu which has since joined the mainland by sand and soil of the sea's floor. His Plan B was to build a tomb and 35 to 60 kilometer square necropolis for the afterlife. The Qin Dynasty (秦朝) was one of the shortest since it lasted only fourteen years from 221 BCE-206 BCE.
Then there was the Yongle Emperor (永樂帝) who was the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He reigned from 1402 CE-1424 CE. He called for a massive reconstruction of the Grand Canal. He also continued the building of the Ming Great Wall as a defensive measure and to protect his tomb. The Forbidden City of the new capital of Beijing took years to build at great expense. The inauguration took place on February 2, 1421. On May 09, 1421 the Forbidden City was struck by lightning. The fire burned down the Hall of Great Harmony, Central Harmony and Preserving Harmony. The Emperor lost the Mandate of Heaven.
Before the fire, the emperor had sponsored ZHENG He's sixth expedition of nine-masted treasure ships which sailed on March 03, 1421. The main purpose of the Treasure Fleet was to display Chinese might in order to secure tribute as early as 1409. A fleet of smaller vessels had sailed down the Sungari and Amur Rivers to Telin (特林) where the poet argues the Peng is located and the boundary of the Empire. The expenditures of the construction projects and the Treasure Fleet as well as ill-fated military expeditions left the empire in poor financial straits.
The main problem with the grandiose Belt and Road Initiative (involving the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road) is that there is no clear idea of its cost, timeline or extent.The cost estimates vary from $1 trillion to $8 trillion. The Center for Strategic and International Studies said in 2018 that China's trillion dollar infrastucture promise may not be met for several years. The main danger to the program seems to be inflated expections--especially if $8 trillion promises are touted as they have been by commentaries in the Hong Kong Economic Journal and mirrored by the Asian Development Bank. One might say that inflated promises of spending encourage countries to curry favour with China in order to secure funding. Is currying favour not the equivalent of paying tribute?
The China Communications Construction Company (CCCC) has taken part in BRI projects. It is said to be "the fulcrum of China’s BRI ambitions". Five of its entities have been placed on The Entity List of The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS). The BIS placed restrictions on the companies which enabled the People's Republic of China to reclaim and militarize disputed outposts in the South China Sea.

Illustration D
The Selden Map is provided courtesy of the Bodleian Library for educational purposes only
The poet is revisiting an image revealed to him on February 11, 2017 in order to make a descriptive comment on it. The image is superimposed on The Selden Map of the seventeenth century. It may surprise the reader to realize that he/she is viewing a poem. It is a poem of D. Carlton Rossi. It is a poem in the style of Poetic Analytic Imagery or to be specific Poetic Analytics of Imagery through Streams of Consciousness and Unconsciousness.
In this case, the poem is called Illustration D because the poet actually did not want to name it more specifically or for that matter describe it. He wanted the onlooker to see it without interpretation much as one would look at a painting in an art gallery or without commentary as one would read a poem.
An exception is made to the rule at this time because on The Selden Map he is now contrasting an unnamed poem involving a sandglass with a new poem involving the infinity sign. In other words, a rectangle is divided by an X into four parts. The infinity sign is horizontal and the sandglass sign is vertical stressing two different concepts of time and space. These signs are within Illustration D.
The viewer may appreciate the beauty of the geometric form evidenced in the illustration. Basically, it shows the Mandate of Heaven in the Middle Kingdom around 1619; that is, the relation of heaven, man and earth. More practically, it shows maritime trade routes complimenting older Silk Trade Routes on land. The emphasis though is on Beijing rather than Xian which was highlighted in an image poem called North-West Rectangle.
A brief description of Illustration D follows. The most important vertical line goes through the middle of the horizontal infinity symbol and the vertical sandglass sign. It also goes upward through a large yellow square. In the center of the large square is the smaller square. At its bottom is Beijing and within it is the Forbidden City and within it is the Temple of Heaven and within it is the Observatory near which sacrifices were made.
The small square is superinposed on another image. It is an outline of the Emperor dressed in Ming Dynasty style attire . As far as the poet knows he is the only one who has seen this hidden image. It is an image of the Emperor blowing the wind. Beijing is located in the Cap of the Emperor. It may be imagined that the Emperor is protected by the wall around the Forbidden City and one can see the Great Wall which protects China at the top of the Cap.
The line then continues north or upwards through the smaller infinity sign in the middle of the ruler. It progresses onward to the North Circumpolar Rectangle or Polar Quadrilateral. At the top of the large yellow square is the yellow rectangle (NCR). At the top of the square and rectangle is the center of the compass. It represents the location of Draconis A (an ancient Pole Star).
At the top, left-hand corner of the large square the poet has identified the Yanran Inscription within an horizontal rectangle. It marks a major victory of the Han over the Xiongnu Confederacy in 89 CE. The line then goes through the point at the center of the compass. It then goes eastward to the middle of the vertical rectangle representing the void. In other words, the importance of a major victory is contrasted with the unimportance of nothingness.
A poetic interpretation of The Selden Map through geometric form is relevant today. It defines the historical boundaries of modern China. Generally speaking, the Four Seas of the Han Dynasty mark the North, South, West and East boundaries of the Empire as defined in Illustration D and as explained in the poet's thesis called The Selden Poems. This illustration may or may not provide historical justification for China's claim to some or all of the South China Sea through either force or discourse based on the harmony of heaven, mankind and earth as a moral or legal imperative. However, it acts as an historical reference and guide for all parties.
The map itself is named after John Selden who wrote the draft for Mare Clausum or the closed sea in 1618 and the final version in 1635. He attempted to prove that the sea was "in practice virtually as capable of appropriation as terrestial territory." In the area of the South China Sea it contrasts to the Dutch East India Company's claim to an open sea enforced in 1619 with their seizure of the Javanese city of Jayakarta. The doctrine of the open sea was promulgated by Hugo Grotius in his Mare Liberum (1609) with respect to the Dutch involvement in the West Indies.

Illustration E
The poem called Illustration E is a refinement of Illustration D. The compass rose is now circled in yellow as if if it were the Sun. This acts as a counterpart to the square below. It suggests the circle could be theoretically squared.
One may also conjecture that the small yellow circle within the compass represents Draconis 11 while the small circle at the bottom of the yellow square represents Draconis 10. These small circles are the Pole Star and its binary companion respectively. The poet contends there were actually two Pole Stars. They rotate around a common barycenter.

‘We Are Taiwanese’: China’s Growing Menace Hardens Island’s Identity
More than ever, Taiwan defines itself by its democratic values. Beijing’s military and diplomatic threats only reinforce the island’s separateness.
New York Times
January 19, 2022
Taken together, these frustrations have only steeled the Taiwanese resolve against the Chinese Communist Party. The global criticism of China for its handling of Covid and its repression at home rekindled a longstanding debate in Taiwan about dropping “China” from the island’s official name. No action was taken, though; such a move by Taiwan would have been seen by Beijing as formalizing its de facto independence.
To young people like Ms. Li, it was also unnecessary. Independence to them is not an aspiration, it is reality.
“We are Taiwanese in our thinking,” she said. “We do not need to declare independence because we already are essentially independent.”

The author has lived for a year in both Xiamen and Fuzhou, Fujian Province. Both cities are in close proximity to Taiwan. It is therefore not surprising that he has visited Taiwan on 19 occasions for a few hours to several weeks. Kinmen Islands are the closest, Taiwanese territory to the Chinese mainland. His trips there were by hovercraft to and from Xiamen. He has also travelled by small plane to and from Taipei and Magong City, Magong Island of the Penghu Islands, Taiwan (Pescadores) in the Taiwan Strait. Finally, he has visited Taipei and Hsingchu for extended periods of time. They are large cities on the main island--apart from the mainland.
His main impression of Taiwan is the sense of independence and freedom which the people experience. The women are certainly more emancipated than on the mainland. They zip around on their motorbikes as they please.
The only problem he ever encountered on an island of Taiwan was with a pseudo-government tourist group from the Chinese mainland who acted like they owned the place. Even though the author was not part of the group they didn't like him wandering about and worst of all they didn't like him unsupervised. The group had financial arrangements with certain businesses or a kind of mini-monopoly which they tried to protect.

Denise Ho: the Cantopop star and pro-democracy activist arrested in Hong Kong
The arrest of Cantopop star Denise Ho in a raid on reporters and prominent figures linked to the Hong Kong media outlet StandNews has shocked her many fans in the city and around the world.
The Guardian
Rhoda Kwan in Taipei
December 29, 2021
The artist, who is also a Canadian citizen, was taken from her home in Hong Kong on Wednesday for allegedly conspiring with five others to publish seditious materials in her role as a former director of the independent news provider.
In a creative industry where access to the lucrative mainland Chinese market has swayed many Cantonese artists to refrain from angering Chinese sensitivities, Ho emerged in 2014 as a voice of defiance when she joined the Umbrella Movement and demanded wider democracy with thousands of other Hongkongers.
“When I first saw the teargas fired into the peaceful crowds … I decided, regardless of all the so-called consequences, that I had to speak my mind,” she said in 2019.
The consequences for Ho’s career came long before Wednesday’s arrest. In 2014, Chinese authorities banned her from performing on the mainland. In the years that followed, brands and other celebrities shunned her, while some of her concerts in Hong Kong were cancelled.
