Human rights are moral principles or norms that describe certain standards of human behavior and are regularly protected as natural and legal rights in municipal and international law.
China has cut tens million people lives short in their Cultural Revolution for a decade, Great Famine for 3 yrs, June 4th Democracy Movement, one policy (should use birth control drugs instead of abortion), Organ Harvesting on Falun Gong practitioners. Hong Kong protestors, now Coronavirus pandemic spread to the world.
As of May 7th, the global confirmed cases is 3,9,619 and global death toll is 270,719 that ratio is 6.91%. In USA, 1,292,623 confirmed cases and 76,928 death toll. This numbers are not correct because China didn't report the actual amount. This coronavirus was started from Wuhan city, China as they originally said from the seafood market. As we all see how CCP treated their people. Then this pandemic disease spread to Asia, to Mid-East (Iran), to Europe (Italy and Spain), to USA. Then CCP blamed to U.S. military, to Italy, to Spain, to France. Many countries are suing CCP for lives and economy loss. CCP has hoarded PPE supplies at the beginning of the coronavirus. Then sold many lousy quality of masks, test agents, protective gowns, ... to many countries with higher prices. When those countries found out the lousy qualities of PPE and test agents, they shipped back and asked for refund. China even asked for praise on China. CCP covered up the facts and bribed W.H.O. NOT to warn the world about human to human transmission. When Trump called Xi and Xi said this disease will be disappeared by April. However, this coronavirus is still exist. The unemployment rate is soaring and economy suffers a great loss. Many countries will pull out their manufacturers and closed their branches in China. They will cut off the orders and many of factories in China will shut down businesses eventually.
We all have "human rights"人權 to live in this world. CCP is notorious to k*ll their own people in the history and brainwashed their people to become 50 cents army (when Chinese citizen works for CCP to post a message online, they gain 50 cents and now increased to 70 cents). Those 70 cents army posted many twist messages online for CCP not knowing CCP used them for propaganda.
There are many Westerners who also been brainwashed by CCP for m*ney and intoxicated by Communism. I prefer Democracy. The great different opinions just can not co-exist in the same level.

This guy emailed me from Chinese FriendFinder on Nov 24, last year at the wee hour of 3:11 am. He was a Gold member.
Hello, I'm Brandon. I found your profile interesting and it resonates with me. You exude a lot of confidence and strike me as someone who is classy, full of life, and interesting. I'm equally looking for a compatible soul mate with similar interests and values. I hope to find my missing rib, the one who completes me. Let me know what you think and hope to read from you soon. Cheers

I didn't reply his email, but when I posted a blog "Chinese need Democracy education with many photos during Cultural Revolution on Dec 5, last year. He posted many pro-communist comments as he was surprised by how CCP treated their people and sympathized Chinese people using Chinese to reply my blog. His nasty comments became more and more aggressive and belligerent toward me. He posted comments and called me by names "schizophrenic" and "uneducated". He said "you are NOT Caucasian, go back to China. I was furious, so immediately deleted his comments from reading or commenting my blog and even reading my profile.
======================================================================
I have graduated from an university in Taiwan, passed pharmacist license exam and worked 3 years as a pharmacist in Taiwan before I emigrated to USA in 19'80. In USA don't accept any foreign licensed pharmacist, so I have graduated from USC (University of Southern California) and received a PharmD degree (doctor of Pharmacy). I passed California license exam and became a pharmacist since 19'87. I have attended and graduated from two universities and he called me "uneducated". I am a Healthcare professional and he called me "schizophrenia". He is a bipolar, he wrote me an email from Chinese FriendFinder that I didn't reply. He got mad and went on my blog to attack and insult me in the public blog. I have tolerated him for few comments and he became very bully and told me to go back to China.
Taiwan is NOT part of China. Taiwan is Taiwan. Those Chinese people have been brainwashed for 70 years. Taiwan has presidential elections and bipartisan system (actually 3 political parties). CCP has threatened to bomb Taiwan to flat.
Although I was born and raised in Taiwan for 24+ years but I have resided in USA for 40 years, I have dual passports of Taiwan and USA. I am an American citizen and voted U.S. presidential election every 4 years. I have escaped from CCP violent Cultural Revolution. My ancestors had been in Taiwan for over 400 years. I am proud to be a Taiwanese-American. I have been assimilated to American's lifestyle for 40 years that is longer than my birthplace, Taiwan. I am bilingual in Mandarin Chinese (plus Taiwanese dialect) and English. I have said many times that HongKongers and Taiwanese are lucky to escape from CCP Cultural Revolution and have NOT been brainwashed by CCP propaganda. This coronavirus pandemic spreads to the world, now the world knows what truth about CCP.

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic spreading through the world, many governments order people to stay home to prevent spread the disease. When people staying at home, the air pollution got much improved and showing the before and after lockdown drastic differences. Please compare
Photo 5: The India Gate War Memorial, New Delhi, India
The India Gate war memorial in New Delhi, India, is pictured on October 17, 2019 (above) and on April 8, 2020 after a 21-day nationwide lockdown (below). Reuters reports that New Delhi is having "the longest spell of clean air on record."
Photo 6: Los Angeles, California
Los Angeles, California is known for notorious smog and traffic. But the view on the bottom shows the San Gabriel Mountains on April 14, 2020. According to Business Insider, the improvement in air pollution is likely a result of fewer planes and cars on the roads.
Photo 7: New Delhi, India
The top photograph of New Delhi, India was on November 8, 2018 and the bottom one was taken on April 8, 2020. The staggering difference may be attributed to the world’s largest lockdown in the country of 1.3 billion people. All factories, markets, shops, and places of worship are now closed, most public transport suspended, and construction work halted as India asks its citizens to stay home and practice social distancing.
Photo 8: Milan, Italy
Milan was named Europe's most polluted city in 2008 and smog remains a recurring problem. But after the air pollution dropped significantly during the lockdown, the city announced an ambitious scheme to reduce car use after the quarantine ends. The bottom photograph of Milan was taken on April 17, 2020, while the top one was taken only four months ago.
Photo 9: The Grand Canal, Venice, Italy
The Grand Canal in Venice, Italy is seen here pictured on January 6, 2018 (top). But after the lockdown, new photos emerged of the canals looking crystal clear. The city's mayor told CNN that this was due to "less traffic on the canals, allowing the sediment to stay at the bottom." The bottom picture was taken on April 17, 2020.
Photo 10: North Jakarta, Indonesia
Jakarta is known as one of the smoggiest cities in the world. But the same wreckage of a wooden boat pictured on July 26, 2018 and April 16, 2020 shows a night-and-day difference.

My best stock performance is Amazon
|
Posted:Apr 19, 2020 6:20 pm

Amazon is the largest online retailer company in USA. I've shopped at Amazon too. It is continence to order merchandises on internet. Amazon has "Cloud" memory to remember what items I prefer, analyze consumer's preference.
My first entry was in Oct 20'18 before I went to Italy for 36 daus. I bought low prices. If you want to know WHY, it was because the RSI (Risk Strength Index) below 30. I sold small portion when RSI reached over 70, and bought back small portion when RSI under 30.
At one highest holding I have 560 shares of Amazon. It was very painful holding, when this stock went "side way", from August 20'19 to Dec 20'19. I didn't buy or sell and wondering why investors don't like this stock. Held 560 shares of Amazon is a lot of money. On Feb. 11, 20'20, it went all-time high of $2,185.95. I sold 400 shares (each time 40 shares, sold 10 times). By that time, my pressure got released because I only had 160 shares with big profits.
Then the entire stock market nosedived due to coronavirus spreading. I got money to buy more Amazon, when I saw its RSI was below 30. I think when people stuck at home can't go out to buy merchandises, they will go online shopping. Some Mutual Fund managers said Amazon hires 1,000 more employees to work, that was when Amazon fly higher sharply for 4 consecutive days. Yes, I sold my Amazon little by little till $2,300 but sold out all my holding before it reached $2,461. I am afraid the economy won't be as good as before virus spreading and people will short of money to buy stuffs online. I sold all my Amazon holding. If it went up or down is not my business anymore. I already took more than 1/4 million profits on Amazon.
AMZN 2 years chart. You can see RSI (14) 72.77 which is over 70, so I sold.
======================================================================
My worst stock was Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG). I bought at $400, it plunged to $247.51. I cut loss and lost lot of money. I delete it from my watching stock. One day I saw Chipotle went up to over $760. I was mad and started to short it plus buy put option. OMG, it went up to $940.28. I cut loss when it was $860. I double loss on this stock. I once again deleted this CMG forever.

Trump confronts two Chinese reporters

President Trump confronted a female Phoenix TV reporter on April 6, 20'20, who said the station was independently owned and Hong Kong-based.
When the female reporter said "Do you want to cooperate with Chinese ambassador, Cui Tiankai (崔天凯) to fight coronavirus. Trump said "this sounds more like a statement than a question".
Trump asked her "Where are you from?" "Whom you work with?" She answered "from Hong Kong" and "Hong Kong Phoenix TV station based in Hong Kong".
Phoenix TV Hong Kong is part of the Communist Chinese government propaganda machine. Yep, she's working for China, a communist works for CCP. Trump has caught her on the spot. .
======================================================================
A Taiwanese national who works for a Chinese state-run agency is facing a stiff fine after he posed as a reporter from a Taiwanese media outlet when asking U.S. President Donald Trump a question at the White House.
During a White House press conference on April 9, a reporter began to ask a question on behalf of foreign media, but Trump cut him off and asked him "where are you from?" In response, the reporter, who was later identified as Chang Ching-yi (張經義), said, "I am from Taiwan," to which Trump simply said, "Good."
However, local Taiwanese media outlets quickly pointed out that although the man was born in Taiwan, he currently works for Shanghai Media Group, which is a state-owned mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Many Taiwanese citizens were furious at Chang, suggesting that he is a traitor with comments such as "He doesn't dare reveal he has taken CCP money and instead mentions Taiwan."
At a press conference on Thursday (April 16), Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) Deputy Minister and Spokesman Chiu Chui-cheng (邱垂正) said that because Chang is a Taiwanese citizen but works directly for a propaganda arm of the CCP, he has violated the Act Governing Relations between the People of the Taiwan Area and the Mainland Area, reported Liberty Times. Specifically, Chiu said that Chang had breached Article 33, paragraph 2, which prohibits citizens from engaging in "Any cooperative activity involving political nature with any individual, juristic person, organization, or other institution of the Mainland Area."
Chiu said that Chang could be subject to a fine of between NT$100,000 (US$3,300) and NT$500,000. He said the authorities will investigate the incident and deal with it in accordance with the law as soon as possible.

Trump says WHO ignored Taiwanese email citing coronavirus transmission

U.S. President Trump's twitted on Friday, April 17,
Donald J. Trump✔
@realDonaldTrump
Why did the W.H.O. Ignore an email from Taiwanese health officials in late December alerting them to the possibility that CoronaVirus could be transmitted between humans? Why did the W.H.O. make several claims about the CoronaVirus that ere either inaccurate or misleading....
303K 6:20 AM - Apr 17, 2020
Taiwan and the WHO disagree on whether a Dec. 31 email referenced human-to-human transmission, which China and the WHO would not confirm for weeks.
The Taiwanese email said: “News resources today indicate that at least seven atypical pneumonia cases were reported in Wuhan, China… Their health authorities replied to the media that the cases were believed not to be SARS, however the samples are still under examination, and cases have been isolated for treatment.”
Globally the virus has infected more than 2.1 million people and killed at least 147,000.
The US has the world’s largest publicly recognized outbreak, with more than 670,000 cases and 33,000 deaths. At least 22 million Americans have lost their jobs following business closures to prevent spread of the virus.
White House coronavirus coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx said at a recent press briefing that Chinese data on infection numbers led experts to believe the virus was less contagious, leading to less early concern among health officials.
Taiwan, which took early preventive steps, including mass production of face masks, has just 395 cases, according to Johns Hopkins University data.
“The WHO’s reliance on China’s disclosures likely caused a 20-fold increase in cases worldwide, and it may be much more than that,” Trump said Tuesday.
The White House budget office has told federal agencies to redirect W.H.O. funds to groups that do similar work, indicating a 60-day suspension of WHO funding ordered by Trump will be permanent.

The Best Coronavirus Responses, Women Leaders
|
Posted:Apr 15, 2020 3:14 pm
Last Updated:Apr 26, 2020 6:16 pm 223237 Views

Looking for examples of true leadership in a crisis? From Iceland Taiwan and from Germany New Zealand, women are stepping up show the world how manage a messy patch for our human family. Add in Finland, Iceland and Denmark, and this pandemic is revealing that women have what it takes when the heat rises in our Houses of State. Many will say these are small countries, or islands, or other exceptions. But Germany is large and leading, and the UK is an island with very different outcomes. These leaders are gifting us an attractive alternative way of wielding power. What are they teaching us?
Truth
Angela Merkel, the Chancellor of Germany, stood up early and calmly told her countrymen that this was a serious bug that would infect up to 70% of the population. “It’s serious,” she said, “take it seriously.” She did, so they did too. Testing began right from the get-go. Germany jumped right over the phases of denial, anger and disingenuousness we’ve seen elsewhere. The country’s numbers are far below its European neighbors, and there are signs it may be able to start loosening restrictions relatively soon.
Decisiveness (see the chart)
Among the first and the fastest responses was from Tsai Ing-wen in Taiwan. Back in January, at the first sign of a new illness, she introduced 4 measures block the spread without having resort the lockdowns that have become common elsewhere. She is now sending million face masks the U.S. and Europe. Tsai managed what CNN has called “among the world’s best” responses, keeping the epidemic under control, still reporting only six deaths.
Jacinda Ardern in New Zealand was early lockdown and crystal clear on the maximum level of alert she was putting the country under – and why. She imposed self-isolation on people entering New Zealand astonishingly early, when there were just 6 cases in the whole country, and banned foreigners entirely from entering soon after. Clarity and decisiveness are saving New Zealand from the storm. As of mid-April they have suffered only four deaths, and where other countries talk of lifting restrictions, Ardern is adding to them, making all returning New Zealanders quarantine in designated locations for days.
Tech
Iceland, under the leadership of Prime Minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir, is offering free coronavirus testing all its citizens, and will become a key case study in the true spread and fatality rates of Covid-19. Most countries have limited testing people with active symptoms. Iceland is going whole hog. In proportion to its population the country has already screened five times as many people as South Korea has, and instituted a thorough tracking system that means they haven’t had to lock down or shut schools.
Sanna Marin became the world’s youngest head of state when she was elected last December in Finland. It took a millennial leader to spearhead using social media influencers as key agents in battling the coronavirus crisis. Recognizing that not everyone reads the press, they are inviting influencers of any age to spread fact-based information on managing the pandemic.
Love
Norway’s Prime Minister, Erna Solberg, had the innovative idea of using television to talk directly to her country’s . She was building on the short, 3-minute press conference that Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen had held a couple of days earlier. Solberg held a dedicated press conference where no adults were allowed. She responded to ’ questions from across the country, taking time to explain why it was OK to feel scared. The originality and obviousness of the idea takes one’s breath away. How many other simple, humane innovations would more female leadership unleash?
Generally, the empathy and care which all of these female leaders have communicated seems to come from an alternate universe than the one we have gotten used to. It’s like their arms are coming out of their videos to hold you close in a heart-felt and loving embrace. Who knew leaders could sound like this? Now we do.
Now, compare these leaders and stories with the strongmen using the crisis to accelerate a terrifying trifecta of authoritarianism: blame-“others”, capture-the-judiciary, demonize-the-journalists, and blanket their country in I-will-never-retire darkness (Trump, Bolsonaro, Obrador, Modi, Duterte, Orban, Putin, Netanyahu…).
There have been years of research timidly suggesting that women’s leadership styles might be different and beneficial. Instead, too many political organizations and companies are still working to get women to behave more like men if they want to lead or succeed. Yet these national leaders are case study sightings of the seven leadership traits men may want to learn from women.
It’s time we recognized it – and elected more of it.

Crowdfunded 'Taiwan can help' ad published in New York Times
|
Posted:Apr 15, 2020 12:00 am
Last Updated:Apr 21, 2020 3:35 pm 219640 Views

Taipei, April 14 (CNA) The New York Times published an advertisement funded by over 26,000 donors in a fundraising campaign with the aim of showing the world that Taiwan can help in the fight against the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.
The full-page advertisement, initiated by a Taiwanese Youtuber and an award-winning designer, begins with the question "WHO can help?" followed by the answer: "Taiwan."
The bottom of the ad reads: "In a time of isolation, we choose solidarity. You are not alone. Taiwan is with you."
It also elaborates that Taiwan knows how to fight pandemics due to its experience in the battle against the SARS epidemic of 2003.
It also knows perfectly well how it feels to be isolated because it has been isolated from the World Health Organization (WHO ), the ad reads, referring to the fact that the country has been barred from attending the annual World Health Assembly (WHA), the decision-making body of the WHO, since 2017 due to pressure from China.
"That is why we are contributing to international efforts by sharing how we contained the outbreak, kept our schools and businesses open, and ensured masks for all," it reads.
It adds that the country has also been donating millions of surgical masks to support medical workers worldwide over the past weeks, as well as studying research along with global partners into advanced rapid testing and a vaccine for COVID-19.
"Who can isolate Taiwan? No one. Because we are here to help," it says, before concluding with the hashtags #TaiwanCanHelp #TaiwanIsHelping.
The ad was published in Tuesday's edition both online and in print.
It was funded by the crowdfunding campaign initiated by Taiwanese YouTube personality Ray Du (阿滴) and graphic designer Aaron Nieh (聶永真) April 10.
The campaign was launched after WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus at a news conference on April 8 accused Taiwan of personal attacks and "racism," which drew Taiwan's ire, with the government rebutting the allegations as unfounded.
Nieh said in a Facebook post that the newspaper ad is a starting point for Taiwan to tell the world that it is offering helping hands to the world despite the smear campaign launched by the WHO head.
He did not say exactly how much funding the campaign managed to raise or how much the ad cost, saying only that half of the money was used to pay for the ad, while the rest will be used to purchase medical supplies to aid pandemic control efforts, both in Taiwan and in other countries.

Trump announces U.S. will halt funding for WHO over coronavirus response

US president and supporters have accused organization of being biased towards China
Senior officials at the W.H.O. have pushed back at calls by Donald Trump to withhold funding from the organization, and by Trump’s supporters for the resignation of its head, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
“We are still in the acute phase of a pandemic, so now is not the time to cut back on funding,” Dr Hans Kluge, the WHO regional director for Europe, told a virtual briefing in response to a question about Trump’s remarks.
Asked about Trump’s remarks at the WHO daily briefing in Geneva, Tedros declined to address the issue directly. “I don’t think that’s necessary,” he said. “We shouldn’t waste time pointing fingers. We need time to unite … Let’s unite … The worst is yet to come if we don’t rush to ensure unity.”
The row came as the US recorded its highest toll from the virus in a single day, with more than 1,800 coronavirus deaths. Trump and key Republican supporters and sympathetic media outlets have recently escalated a months-long campaign accusing the WHO of being biased towards China, and demanding a congressional investigation.
The latest flare-up, which appears designed to distract attention from Trump’s record during the outbreak, has fueled concerns among WHO insiders that the campaign could dangerously undermine confidence in the organizations advice at a crucial time.
Wuhan, the Chinese city at the centre of the outbreak, has begun to return to normal life, raising fears among some US rightwingers that China’s economic recovery could steal a march while the US is in the midst of its own outbreak.
Trump said the WHO had been “wrong about a lot of things” and threatened to put a hold on WHO funding. When asked if that was a good idea during a pandemic, Trump denied having made the threat and then said his officials would “look at it”.
“We’re going to investigate it, we’re going to look at it. But we will look at ending funding, yeah, because you know what, they called it wrong, and if you look back over the years even, everything seems to be very biased toward China.”
David Nabarro, the WHO’s special envoy for Covid-19, told the Guardian that while it was inevitable that “institutions, governments and individuals” would be held accountable for their handling of the coronavirus pandemic, that needed to take place after the crisis was over.
“The world is in the middle of an extraordinary and epic struggle against a virus that is completely new,” he said. “With something like this each decision that we make is closely examined – as it should be … But for now I would suggest we wait until the time the emergency subsides, when of course there will be inquiries, and individuals, governments and institutions are scrutinized.”
“We are trying to combine science and risk-assessment as we connect with the people who are making really tough decisions. They need to be able to trust us and have confidence in us.”
Senior African leaders came out strongly in support of the WHO.
Moussa Faki Mahamat, chair of the African Union Commission, which brings together 55 of the continent’s states, said on Twitter that he was surprised to learn of an anti-WHO campaign by the US and stressed the organization's support for Tedros.
A number of prominent figures associated with Trump have been involved in the campaign against the WHO, which has been criticized for its handling of major disease outbreaks in the past, including the 2014 Ebola outbreak in west Africa.
They include John Bolton, Trump’s former national security adviser; the Florida Republican senator Rick Scott and the Republican congressman Guy Reschenthaler, who introduced a resolution in the House of Representatives on Tuesday calling for the US to defund the WHO unless Tedros resigns and the organization is investigated over its treatment of China during the pandemic.
The onslaught has been echoed on social media, sometimes with racially offensive imagery against the Ethiopian official. The criticism brings together a series of rightwing preoccupations including a distrust of UN bodies, pro-Taiwan activism, and a fear that China’s economy could recover before that of the US.
