As the virulent #COVID_19 spreads all over the world, some foreigners living in China might urge their government to take action. Some countries such as Taiwan, Japan and USA have already evacuated their own citizens out of China in a bid to protect their citizens from being infected by virus. Most of foreigners support the decisions of their government.
However, some foreigners decided to stay in China, rather than returning back to their countries. The reason is not only just to keep their homes away from the the virus. They also get to enjoy free medical treatments provided by Chinese government.
Nevertheless, some international students cannot help but feel abandoned when they see other classmates evacuated out of China. However, they have no bargaining power to request for any help from their countries as their countries are also afraid of offending China, who is often seen as a a “Giant” in the world. Who will help them if their countries decide to leave them behind for good?

US election analysis - China wants Biden to soften stance on China; Scholar: whoever is the president should not go soft
The relationship between China and the United States is at its worst in decades. It is widely believed that the Beijing government would prefer to see Democratic presidential candidate Biden defeat Trump in the White House, where conflicts over trade, technology and security are expected to ease. But many scholars believe that even if Biden were to take the stage, it is unlikely that he would go easy on Beijing because American politics across the spectrum are now disappointed with Beijing. No matter who ends up as president, his stance will not soften by much.
There is a long list of issues currently in dispute between China and the United States, including the COVID-19 epidemic, technology, trade, security, and spies; as well as matters involving Hong Kong, Taiwan, and human rights issues in Tibet and Xinjiang. Trump's trade war, which imposes punitive tariffs on Chinese goods, and his blocking of leading Chinese technology and Internet companies such as Huawei, TikTok, and WeChat, as well as his allies' efforts to blockade China, have put Beijing on a collision course. A Pew Research Center survey in March found that two-thirds of the U.S. public has a negative view of China, the highest since the survey began in 2005.

Hundreds of People Protested Against the Push for Chinese Vaccination in Brazil SĂŁo Paulo
More than 300 people demonstrated in the central business district of SĂŁo Paolo, the biggest city in Brazil, on Sunday local times (Nov 1), opposing the measures suggested by the state governor JoĂŁo Doria on the universal COVID-19 vaccination, as well as opposing the authorities on the use of vaccines from a Chinese company Sinovac Biotech.
Protest participants expressed support for President Jair Bolsonaro, who opposed the use of Chinese vaccines. Some even viewed João Doria as China’s ambassador, forcing them to take the Chinese vaccines.
Doria earlier stated that as long as the vaccines were available and sufficient, he planned to force the citizens of SĂŁo Paolo to vaccinate. However, President Bolsonaro indicated earlier that vaccination was only voluntary. Reports stated that the local Supreme Court would make a verdict on the issue later.
