Quick Glance: China's Deadly Fires Fuel Protests Against Xi's Covid Policies
  • Travel restrictions and government restrictions on international journalists make it impossible to report on the protests.

  • "We want freedom," they declared.

  • For the most part, since Covid spread from Wuhan about three years ago, many Chinese have accepted severe regulations, including extensive travel restrictions, as a price for avoiding the widespread illness and death that the United States and other countries experienced.

  • The Chinese authorities is likely to be concerned that photographs and footage of the Shanghai protests may spread over online control, inciting further upheaval.

Quick Glance: Kwarteng fears sack as chancellor when Liz Truss reverses his Budget.
  • There was no official confirmation from Downing Street of the impending move, which was leaked when Mr Kwarteng returned to central London from Heathrow after cutting short his visit to New York for IMF and World Bank talks.

  • Only yesterday, Mr Kwarteng downplayed expectations of further U-turns, claiming that he was concentrating on preparations for a medium-term fiscal plan statement due on October 31, in which he was expected to explain how he planned to pay for the tax cuts.

  • "This is a Tory crisis, made in Downing Street."

Quick Glance: Commentary: China's young "lie flat" in the face of societal challenges
  • HOUSTON: The "lying flat" or "tang ping" movement first appeared in China in 2021.

  • Those who are "lying flat" instead of having children add to official concerns about China's declining birth rate.

  • Officials may blame the lying flat issue on economic developments like rising property prices and interruptions in global supply lines, but Xi's third-term ambitions make him unlikely to accept criticism.

  • China relies on economic growth, but it is uncertain how the CCP and Xi will deal with the lying flat movement.
