泰國代表「串爆」世衛德塞
一段被遺忘的世衛會議紀錄，近日在網絡瘋傳；顯示早在2月6日，世衛第146次執委會會議上，世衛的泰國代表蘇威（Suwit Wibulpolprasert）曾經「串爆」該組執的親中秘書長譚德塞。這位泰國代表蘇威說，如果要實施旅遊禁令和隔離的話，應該要隔離剛從中國回來的秘書長譚德塞。
蘇威狠酸，「要召集世衛的成員和專家到中國舉行全球性的會議，特別是到武漢，可以欣賞建造超過2000年的黃鶴樓。如果會議在北京舉行，就可以參觀長城和紫禁城，而且現在旅客不多又很便宜。而他已經獲得太太同意，願意捐出每年退休金的一半…

Biased belief in CCP hurts the world: WHO is the accomplice 7/7
On the other hand, WHO rejected every different view regarding the interpersonal transmissibility of the virus from other Infectious disease expert sources from Taiwan, HK and creditable medical journal Lancet. This kind of partial listening and biased belief completely is inconsistent with the principles of neutrality, objectivity, and science-based, that should be adhered by an international organisation. WHO’s biased stance is irresponsible to the international community. The emphasis of WHO about the “non-transmissibility” of the virus loosens people’s gird of vigilance about the dangerous pandemic. In this context, it is objective to say that WHO has contributed to the spread of the contagion globally.
Lastly, let’s take a look at a humorous moment during WHO 146th session of the Executive board meeting. The representative from Thailand, expressed his criticisms on WHO’s misjudgement on the severity of the coronavirus, via a sense of honour and sarcasm, making the rest of the representatives giggle. Here is what he said, “Chair(person), the travel restriction novel virus in China has been violated.” He added, ”If we implement travel restriction and have to quarantine, we have to quarantine Director General Dr Tedros, who just came back from China and cancel this meeting! Now the many attendees – including those from countries that implemented travel restrictions – have shook hands and even hugged Dr Tedros. They are all vulnerable, except me. Dr Tedros declined to hug or shake hands with me in the last 3 or 4 days. Particularly you Chair(person), who sits next to him all the time would be the most vulnerable. We need to bring back global confidence, solidarity and stop the panic immediately.“ He facetiously proposed to immediately call a global meeting of WHO staff and experts in China, Wuhan specifically. He remarked to giggling audience, ”We can all appreciate the most charming Yellow Crane Tower, built almost 2,000 years ago, with very few tourists. If we meet in Beijing, it would be the best time to visit the Great Walls and the Forbidden City with very few tourists and at low costs.” He even added, “with my wife’s permission, I am happy to pay half of my annual pension to support this meeting and join it with my own expense.”

Milk Tea Alliance Takes on China's Little Pinks in Meme War
A row erupted after online supporters of the Chinese Communist Party, known as Little Pinks, took issue with a tweet from Thai actor Vachirawat Cheevaari (known as Bright), who seemed to imply Hong Kong was a separate country from China, and very quickly his girlfriend Weeraya Sukaram also drew down further Little Pink ire, as she has once commented that she dressed more like a "Taiwanese" after being told she looked like a "cute Chinese girl". Soon "Little Pink" started trolling Thai users, Thai users expressed their dissatisfacation with what Chinese did through online altercation in return. "Little Pink" who need to use a banned VPN to evade their own government's Great Firewall of censorship can only reply "ni ma sile(NMSL), meaning "your mother is dead."
Social media users from Taiwan and Hong Kong have also taken part in the online altercation on Twitter afterwards to fight against China's "Little Pink" nationalists. In a loose confederation of Twitterati known as the "Milk Tea Alliance", users from Thailand, Hong Kong and democratic Taiwan fought back with a string of memes - the hashtag #nnevvy, Weeraya's Twitter username. Most netizens from "Milk Tea Alliance" are impressed by Thai users' hillarious creativity and emotion management. The alliance was soon joined by users from Japan, the Philippines, Malaysia, South Korea and India. Seems like there is pent-up anti-China feeling from different countries.
Chinese current affairs commentator Jin Shan said China's education system trains everyone to think the same thing, which means its students typically lack the habit of independent thought. Yet, Chinese communist party could only control their citizens' mind but not everyone in the world.

Chinese dams along upper Mekong are behind serious droughts in Southeast Asian Countries, study says
While China claimed to be suffering from equally arid conditions in response to one of the worst droughts that was happening in Southeast Asian countries, new research from American climatologists show that Beijing’s engineers appear to have directly caused the record low levels of water in Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam while securing their own supplies. The report has been creating a lot of noise as the hashtag #StopMekongDam trends on twitter.
Alan Basist, one of the co-writers of the report, remarked that while countries like Cambodia and Thailand were suffering from serious droughts, there was plenty of water near the Tibetan Plateau, suggesting that a huge volume of water was being held back in China. The report also suggested that China’s dams might have held back more than 410 feet of river height based on data collected over the course of 28 years.
While China, with growing geopolitical power, has always claimed that they value win-win relationships with other nations, a backlash is currently growing among Southeast Asian countries. In this particular case concerning water supply, while China did propose development plans that allegedly will benefit Southeast Asian countries, Beijing has control of the upstream Mekong, which provides as much as 70% of water to downstream nations in the dry season, leading to speculations that China is simply another “imperial power” that seeks to control natural resources regardless of needs of the local populace.
The Chinese section of the river is currently punctuated by 11 major dams, providing more power that is needed by the region as well as blocking a large proportion of sediment that should have flowed to the river’s mouth in Vietnam. Conservationists worry that such actions will “kill the river” while China’s participation in regional groups dedicated to the river’s health remain minimal.

China Limited the Mekong’s Flow. Other Countries Suffered a Drought. (Published 2020)
New research show that Beijing’s engineers appear to have directly caused the record low levels of water in Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam.
Petition to Stop China to build dam on the upstream Mekong River
(16 Apr) According to new research from American climatologists, China, where the headwaters of the Mekong spring forth from the Tibetan Plateau, was not experiencing the same hardship at all. Instead, Beijing's engineers appeared to have directly caused the record low water levels by limiting the river's flow. This has caused droughts in Southeast Asian Countries and therefore a petition is created for this issue. Currently more than 67000 signatures are received.

Thai Actor, Bright, Apologizes to China Over His Girlfriend’s Twitter Scandal
//“So pretty, looks just like a Chinese girl.”... “What style is this?” Weeraya responded, “Taiwanese girl.” This prompted a Twitter war between Chinese and Thai netizens as many Chinese netizens felt offended and disrespected by Weeraya’s actions. Chinese netizens on Weibo also started campaigns to boycott Bright and subbing teams vowed to stop subbing his series, “2gether: The Series”, which was really popular in China at the time.
//Bright remained silent on the issue until June 20. He uploaded a video on Weibo and apologized to China... had started out the video apologizing for his own mistake first... was sorry for “mistakenly referring to Taiwan as a country in a travel show” he hosted talking about Thailand and Taiwan... he was only introducing tourist destinations and wasn’t trying to impose any political agendas.
//When asked why he stayed silent on the accusations of insulting China and the Chinese people, Bright apologized and explained that he thinks it was a misunderstanding. He respects China and each person. He has never thought about insulting any race. Bright also apologized...
//Bright also expressed that he has Chinese heritage and definitely wouldn’t look down on Chinese people or ethnic Chinese. Lastly, Bright expressed his apologies in Chinese: “Hello everyone, I am Bright. I am sorry to China. I am sorry to you all.” Unfortunately, many Chinese netizens didn’t accept his apology. They left a lot of comments telling him to “get lost!” There were a minority of fans who left supporting comments.
