as they say the coverup suggests that there is something to cover up.

in other news: WHERE IS JACK MA?
Jack Ma invented AliBaba, which is the Chinese equivalent of Amazon or Ebay, and which allowed Chinese outside of cities to order goods on line.
China’s highest-profile entrepreneur has not appeared in a public setting since a late October forum in Shanghai where he blasted China’s regulatory system in a speech that put him on a collision course with officials, resulting in the suspension of a $37 billion IPO of Alibaba’s Ant Group fintech arm.
UPDATE:
HongKong Publisher Jimmy Lai is also in jail.
and this podcast discusses what that means.
-----------------
the gov't didn't do the paperwork to get first in line for the Pfizer vaccine this month, and the government has yet to approve of the use of any vaccine here.
and now there are reports of "illegal" vaccine being given out: The Inquirer quotes a Chinese/Filipino as saying 100 thousand Chinoys and Chinese working here (mostly in Casinos) have gotten the shot so far, starting in November.
this will not make these Chinese workers popular (who are resented since Filipinos were originally sold in allowing these casinos as a way to lower local unemployment).
it also will not make the Duterte regime more popular.
In the meanwhile, some mayors and local government officials are thinking of just importing the vaccine themselves. The federal gov't says hey they can't do that it's illegal.
but Duterte made sure his guards and some military personnel got the vaccine, (some of which was smuggled into the country) and is trying to stop the Senate from investigating him for doing so.
Of course, what the senate should be investigating is why they haven't started giving out the vaccine, but hey, here politics is even more partisan than in the USA.
