#Brazil Health Regulator Condemns China For Not Being Transparent
Brazil health regulator #Anvisa releases a statement, criticising that China’s health authorities were not transparent and didn’t provide any information of the criteria for the approval of the emergency use of COVID-19 vaccine developed by China SinoVac Biotech Ltd since June 2020.
China's #SinoVac is conducting the phase 3 tests in different locations, such as Brazil, Indonesia and Turkey, but it doesn’t publish any testing result and efficacy of the vaccine.
The vaccine trial had been suspended because one of the volunteers died. After investigation, the authorities claimed the cause of death was "not related" to the vaccine.

Hong Kong's #IPCC Dismisses #Court's Ruling of the Police Complaint Mechanism as Failure
From January to November 2020, there wer 1,055 complaints in Hong Kong which were 31% less that the figure of the same period last year.
Earlier, the Hong Kong court rules that the current police complaint mechanism in use fails to provide independent investigation, breaching the “Bill of Rights”.
However, Anthony Neoh, Chairman of Independent Police Complaints Council (IPCC), claimed the court decision would not affect their work and IPCC did not have any authority requesting the government to improve the system of police complaints. However, he thought that the police complaint system shall be further discussed in society.

China is scaling up its weather modification programme – here’s why we should be worried.
China has massively ramped up its efforts to control the weather. China’s state council announced its weather modification programme will cover around half the country by 2025. It is aiming to control rain and snow across an area that is more than one-and-a-half times the size of India, or 20 times the size of the UK.
What is really terrifying is why it is scaling up its weather modification programme. It is not just posturing, I tis also desperation.
Investors have started taking water scarcity seriously. Early in December 2020, water futures began trading on Wall Street for the first time amid fear of scarcity.
