To Wear Mask or Not to Wear Mask is a Question
English Version:
I just chat to my friend (French) that he is still telling me whether to wear a mask. He thinks that the sick person needs to wear it.
I just say that it is also possible to protect people with safety and health. (Epidemic prevention)
He : That anyway, This disease is as good as a cold for young people, so don't worry.
Me: do you have sex with condoms?
Friend: Yes!
Me: Oh, do you have any STDs or AIDS?
Friend: No! Why do you ask like this?
Me: Ah, you are not sick, why do you want a condom?
Friend: Well, now I understand what you mean.
🙄️Divine logic goes against divine logic.
Conclusion: Explain that wearing a mask is tiring.
===========================
French Version:
Tout à l’heure j’ai discuté avec un pote français de la nécessité de porter le masque pendant la crise du Coronavirus. Il pense que les masques sont pour les gens malades.
Je lui ai dit que les masques servent aussi à ceux qui sont en bonne santé pour se protéger par précaution. Ensuite il m’a répondu que l’on ne doit pas s’inquiéter puisque chez les jeunes c’est juste comme la grippe.
Moi: tu mets la capote quand tu fais l’amour?
Lui: Oui !
Moi: t’as des MSTs ou le SIDA?
Lui: non mais pourquoi ?
Moi: bah si t’as ni l’un ni l’autre, pourquoi mets la capote?
Lui: (silence) ok je comprends maintenant.

目前在歐洲疫情已經擴大太嚴重，但是住在法國的我們戴口罩又要一直被歧視。
然後剛剛與我朋友（法國人）他還在跟我說口罩戴不戴的問題，他覺得生病的人才需要戴。
我就說這是防範與安全健康的人也可以有所保護。（防疫）
接者他又說到反正這個病跟感冒一樣年輕人得到以後也還好，所以不用擔心。
我：請問你做愛會戴套嗎？
友人：會！
我：喔，那你有什麼性病或是愛滋嗎？
友人：沒有啊！為什麼你要這樣問？
我：阿你沒生病你為什麼要戴套？
友人：⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯好，現在我懂你的意思了。
神邏輯對上神邏輯。
結語：解釋戴口罩好累🙄️。

Rejecting the request to delete content from Beijing - French economist may not be able to publish his book
“Capital and Ideology”, a book that is written by a famous French Economist, Thomas Piketty, was originally planned to publish in the mainland China. However, as the book mentioned that, "the inequality gap is growing rapidly in China,” stating that its level of income inequality has almost reached the America’s. Also, he stated that the Chinese Government has not shown that they are better off when it comes to comparing the western democratic system yet," the Chinese publisher requested to him to remove the corresponding context. Piketty declined to delete the article and as a result, he believed that his book publication plan would die, describing the publication censor " seems to indicate that the Chinese regime gets more serious and nervous, and states that they would not have any open debate on different economic and political systems."
Piketty published “Capital in the Twenty-First Century” in 2013, which he criticized deeply on western capitalism in the U.S. and Europe. At that time, the Chinese government praised this 700-page book strongly, while it obtained the global sales record in 2014. Nevertheless, Piketty recently believes that his new book, “Capital and Ideology”, is impossible to publish in China as he rejected the cancellation request from the Chinese publisher.
“Capital and Ideology” was published in France last year. The English version is then printed in March in the U.S. The content describes the inequality regime around different times and parts of the world, extending the research on the economic inequality in non-western countries like China and India. A large portion of content
focuses on China and its socialism with capitalist characteristics. “Capital and Ideology” was planned to publish in China. Nevertheless, the Chinese publisher, CITIC Press Group, had sent two 10-page list to the French publisher, Les Editions du Seuil, requesting to remove some of the contexts both in English and French.

EDF says it would shut Taishan reactor if it were in France
French nuclear operator EDF said it would have shut down a reactor in southern China being investigated for a potential fuel rod issue if the facility were in France but that the decision to continue operating the joint venture was beyond its control.
The Taishan nuclear power plant, which is majority controlled and operated by China General Nuclear Power Corp, with EDF holding a 30 per cent stake, held an extraordinary board meeting on Thursday to review the latest data following reports of problems last month.
“On the basis of the analyses carried out, EDF’s operating procedures for the French nuclear fleet would lead EDF, in France, to shut down the reactor in order to accurately assess the situation in progress and stop its development,” EDF said in a statement following the meeting

French study warns of the massive scale of Chinese influence around the world
The 650-page report, entitled "Chinese influence operations - a Machiavelli moment" digs through the layers of secret and not-so-secret institutions, actions and designs used by Beijing to manipulate western opinion.
Written by Paul Cheron, an intelligence expert and Chinese specialist with credentials from Harvard and China's most prestigeous university Qinghua, in partnership with political scientist Jean-Baptiste Jeangène Vilmer, a security specialist, the report is probably the most extensive analysis of China's propaganda machine ever published in French.
The report argues that for a long time China wanted more to be loved than feared, she wanted to seduce, projecting a positive image of herself in the world and so arousing admiration. Recently China has increasingly shown another side.

French senators to visit Taiwan amid soaring China tensions
A group of French senators including a former defence minister will visit Taiwan this week, the island's foreign ministry said on Tuesday, with the visit coming at a time of soaring tensions between Taipei and Beijing and despite China's opposition.
Their trip comes after China flew almost 150 warplanes into Taiwan's air defence zone over a four-day period beginning Oct. 1, China's National Day holiday.
China claims democratically ruled Taiwan as its own territory and is always angered by any trips to the island by foreign officials.
