Closed-loop management to be adopted at Beijing 2022; no tickets to overseas spectators: Beijing 2022 organizers by Global Times Sep 29 2021

All athletes for Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics and all Games participants who are fully vaccinated will enter a closed-loop management system upon arrival in Beijing. This was part of the key COVID-19 countermeasures the Beijing 2022 Organising Committee presented to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Executive Board meeting on Wednesday.

These countermeasures are adopted to ensure that the 2022 Games are held safely as scheduled and to ensure the safety and health of athletes and all stakeholders, the Beijing 2022 organizers announced.

According to the Beijing 2022 organizers, Games participants who are not fully vaccinated will have to serve a 21-day quarantine upon arrival in Beijing. All vaccines recognized by World Health Organization or related international organizations or approved officially by countries or regions concerned will be accepted. Athletes who can provide a justified medical exemption will have their cases considered.

As for the audience, Beijing 2022 organizers made it clear that tickets will be sold exclusively to spectators residing in the Chinese mainland who meet the requirements of COVID-19 countermeasures.

The closed-loop management system, to be implemented from January 23, 2022 until the end of the Paralympics on March 13, will cover all Games-related areas, including arrival and departure, transport, accommodation, catering, competitions, and the opening and closing ceremonies. Within the closed-loop, participants will be allowed to move only between Games-related venues for training, competitions and work. A dedicated Games transport system will be put in place.

Specific requirements on COVID-19 countermeasures and the details of ticketing arrangements are under discussion and development, and will be released to the public in due course once they are finalized.

Beijing 2022 will release the first version of the Playbooks in late October and the second version in December. The related policies will be detailed in the Playbooks.

The IOC Executive Board meeting was chaired by President Thomas Bach, in the presence of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) president Andrew Parsons.

Right Wing anti-China hate group National Pulse: NYPD ‘Hate Crime’ Task Force Includes Chinese Regime Propagandist Who Says Xi Jinping Is ‘Doing A Good Job.’ Chinese state propagandists have wormed their way onto Marxist political NYPD groups. 右翼反華仇恨團體國家脈搏：紐約警察局“仇恨犯罪”工作組包括稱習近平“做得很好”的中國政權宣傳員by Natalie Winters

The New York Police Department’s newly launched hate crime review panel includes Fred Teng, who runs a Chinese Communist Party-linked influence group and has repeatedly praised regime leader Xi Jinping, The National Pulse can reveal.

Teng is one of the five members of the panel, which was inaugurated in April, and will advise the New York Police Department (NYPD) on which crimes should be classified as hate crimes. The group will also advise the District Attorney’s office on the hate crime classification.

Teng, who was born in Shanghai and now resides in New York, has several executives roles at Chinese Communist Party-linked groups including serving as the President of the America China Public Affairs Institute (ACPAI), a visiting professor at the Chinese government-run Sichuan University, and the senior U.S. representative of the China-United States Exchange Foundation (CUSEF).

Teng is also the former CEO of China Newsweek, a regime-controlled propaganda magazine based in Beijing under the control of the State Council. Teng has defended the spread of Chinese state-run media in the U.S. in a 2012 BBC article, insisting: “I think they abide by journalistic guidelines and report their news according to their accuracy, timeliness, proximity and so forth.”

CUSEF was founded by C.H. Tung, the Vice-Chairman of the “highest-ranking entity overseeing” China’s United Front, which the U.S. government identifies as seeking to “to co-opt and neutralize sources of potential opposition to the policies and authority of its ruling Chinese Communist Party” and “influence foreign governments to take actions or adopt positions supportive of Beijing.”

Tung himself has spoken at a 2016 ACPAI event in addition to CUSEF Governor Ronnie Chan, who has spoken for the group three times. ACPAI has also hosted events featuring several Chinese Communist Party officials, Chinese state-run media hosts, and People’s Liberation Army (PLA) leaders.

Teng has also met privately with Chinese Communist Party officials such as Consul General Luo Linquan.

In addition to running ACPAI and advising CUSEF, Teng frequently appears on Chinese state-run media outlets in favor of the Chinese Communist Party. In response to Xi’s removal of term limits, which allowed him to lead for life, Teng told China Global Television Network (CGTN) that “I think they are doing a critically good job right now” in reference to the regime.

“In order to carry out the agenda and the reform, we need a continuous leadership,” he added in defense of Xi’s move.

Teng has expressed similar sentiments on i24 News, where he insisted that “most of the people like it because he’s doing a good job” when asked about the cessation of term limits.

“I mean why change someone when they’re doing a good job?” he added in defense of Xi.

Ceremony held to mark Martyrs’ Day; Chinese people say moving forward is the best commemoration by Global Times Sep 30 2021

A grand and stately ceremony was held Thurday morning ( Spetember 30) to mark China’s eighth Martyrs’ Day, just one day ahead of the National Day.

Chinese President Xi Jinping and other leaders of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the state attended the ceremony in Tian’anmen Square in downtown Beijing, offering floral tribute to fallen national heroes.

The top leaders were joined by representatives from all walks of life at the ceremony.

At 10 am, all participants sang the national anthem, and then a silent tribute to those who devoted their lives to the liberation of the Chinese people and the building of the People’s Republic of China, which was founded on October 1, 1949.

Eighteen honor guards placed nine huge flower baskets in front of the Monument to the People’s Heroes.

Xi, also general secretary of the CPC Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, and other senior leaders walked up to the foot of the monument, where he straightened the red ribbons on the baskets before leading other senior officials in a walk around the monument to pay their tributes.

On September 30,1949, exactly 72 years ago, the First Session of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference decided to build the Monument to the People’s Heroes in Tianan’men Square to commemorate those who lost their lives fighting for national causes.

This year marks the centennial of the founding of the CPC in 1921. Under the leadership of the CPC, China has achieved major strategic achievements in the fight against the epidemic and has made a historic achievement in accomplishing the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects.

Prior to National Day, the first batch of the CPC’s spiritual pedigree, 46 great spirits in all forged during the Party’s century-old endeavor, was officially released on Wednesday, including the spirits of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression (1931-45) and War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea (1950-53).

From 1921 to 1949, there were more than 3.7 million martyrs in the revolutionary ranks led by the Communist Party of China. Since the outbreak of the COVID-19, nearly 400 Party members have sacrificed their lives to fight the epidemic. And over 1,800 CPC members sacrificed their lives during the poverty alleviation fight, according to media report.

China’s top legislature approved September 30 as Martyrs’ Day in 2014 to commemorate those who sacrificed their lives for national independence and prosperity.

Xi has on many occasions emphasized the importance of remembering the country’s national heroes and carrying their spirit forward.

In addition to the commemoration in Beijing, cities around China organized various memorial activities to cherish the memory of martyrs, with many people spontaneously going to lay bouquets and pay tributes.

At the ongoing Airshow China 2021 in Zhuhai, South China’s Guangdong Province, the J-10 fighter jet crew of the PLA August 1 Aerobatic Team flew over the airshow venue, leaving a trail of white smoke in remembrance of China’s martyrs.

Several trending topics listed on China’s Twitter-like Sina Weibo related to the memorial ceremonies with young people writing that the accomplishments of the revolutionary martyrs will go down in history and their names shall never be forgotten.

“In the past, you hewed out a bright path for China and Chinese people with your lives. Now, it is up to us to take over your baton toward great rejuvenation,” one Chinese netizen commented.

Inspired by the great spirits, the Chinese people have inherited unswerving faith, unyielding integrity from martyrs, vowed to contribute to CPC’s cause and national rejuvenation, continuing their journey to fully build a modern socialist China.

“Please rest assured, the strong country has me,” another netizen said.

More Marines station in Hawaii to start Cold or Hot War with China – West Oahu Hawaii Residents Are Wary Of Possible Marine Corps Expansion By Kevin Knodell

Military officials are scouting locations in West Oahu for new training grounds and potential housing for troops and their families.

Their plans come amid an ambitious restructuring of the Marine Corps entire force and repositioning of forces around the Pacific. Around 2,700 new Marines and their families are expected to come to Hawaii from Okinawa by 2030.
