EU calls screening of travellers from China unjustified
bbc ^

The US, Japan, Taiwan and India also recently announced mandatory testing, as China deals with a Covid surge.

But the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control said the surge was "not expected to impact" the EU.

In a statement, the ECDC said:

High levels of Covid in China are anticipated given the country's low immunity and recent relaxation of its rules

But higher immunity in the EU means a Covid surge in China is not expected to impact the bloc

The Covid-19 variants circulating in China are already circulating in the EU

Potential imported infections from China are "rather low" compared to the number of infections already occurring in the EU

And citizens in the bloc have relatively high vaccination and immunisation

Concerns were raised after Chinese authorities decided to let people travel more freely from 8 January, after almost three years of largely-closed borders.

That is great news they can have a two-year anniversary celebration in Feb for Hug a China Man.

Hug a China Man in Italy



History Repeating itself. Maybe, Maybe not. We will have to wait in see. Feel free hug that China Man if you would like.

I think the US-CIA MIC KEY call it what you will wants to hurt China so the stories the government and the MSM have put out about China boggle the mind.

They really blew up how awful China’s COVID restrictions were how tight and restrictive they were a month or so ago now when China relaxes COVID restrictions the stories become how COVID is spreading rapidly all over China and into other countries.

A steady stream of negative COVID news about China no matter what China does.

The Government-Media Complex did this drama with Russia over Ukraine now they switch to China.

I’m no fan of China but this government-media information manipulation to hurt nations considered adversaries is sad to see.

It points to how unfree this country is when government-media narratives are coordinated.

This is China.

What do they do with other issues more domestic as if we don’t already know the answer?

Correct. No way this could ever possibly become even the slightest issue!
