Members unicorn Posted January 11, 2023 Members Share Posted January 11, 2023 Certainly an extremely important factor, probably the most important one, responsible for China's current bad state of affairs is that Xi refused Western offers for Western vaccines. It's obvious the Sinovac didn't perform as well. TMax 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterRS Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 i arrived back last night on a Cathay Pacific flight. No checks in HKG other than that I had a visa, no checks at BKK. Only requirement was the wearing of masks in flight except at meal time. Not sure why the visa was an issue at check-in as I have an annual visa and a flight out on 10 February. But the CX staffer would not check me in until he saw the visa in my passport! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterRS Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 As the doctor states at the start of that video, the right decision would have been for all countries in the world to treat all visitors to all countries equally! The implication being that there is no unanimous agreement about Chinese tourism while the pandemic is out of control in that country. I also note his comments are littered with "maybe", "could be" "I think . . ." "I expect . . ." That sure gives listeners a great deal of confidence! floridarob and vinapu 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
