Dumb is as dumb does – hater is as hater does. Who will be next?

A new law, the first of its kind in Europe, is a blow against transgender rights and the latest skirmish in a continuing culture war.

If China and the United States decoupled, it would harm both sides as well as the world, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said on Thursday (May 28) as he urged both countries to find a way to work together.
“We have all along rejected the Cold War mentality, and decoupling will do neither side any good, it is also harmful for the world,” he said.
Mr Li was addressing bilateral relations with the United States at his annual press conference after the closing of meetings of the National People’s Congress (NPC), China’s Parliament.
His comments come as tensions soar between the two countries over the coronavirus pandemic, Hong Kong’s status, Taiwan and other issues.
On Sunday (May 24), Foreign Minister Wang Yi had said some American politicians were pushing both sides into a “new Cold War”.
Last Saturday (May 23), Chinese Defence Minister Wei Fenghe also said tensions between both sides had reached a “high risk” period, noting that China needed to boost its military capabilities.
Mr Li said both sides could work together – referring to US industrial giant Honeywell, which recently set up its Chinese headquarters in Wuhan, as an example that both sides stood to benefit if they cooperate.
“There are differences in our social system, cultural heritage, and historical backgrounds, so some differences, some disagreements and even frictions may be unavoidable. What’s important is how we manage these disagreements and differences,” he said.
US President Donald Trump and other American officials have been stepping up provocations of China over the handling of the virus outbreak, referring to Covid-19 as a “Chinese virus”.
Washington has suggested that the virus had emerged from a laboratory in Wuhan city, and has demanded a probe into the origins of the pathogen.
He did not directly address comments made by US leaders, but Mr Li said the Sino-US relationship was complex but very important.
“We must use our wisdom to continue to expand common interests and properly manage differences and disagreements,” he added.
Self-delusion is common for racists who have run out of reasons to justify their racism.

Tensions flared over race relations again today at Parliament with outspoken National MP Judith Collins saying she was “sick of being demonised” for her ethnicity.
Trump’s Tweets go out every hour – so how are “conservatives” being held down or constricted? Bluff and bluster – no facts.
U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday threatened to regulate or shut down social media companies for stifling conservative voices, a day after Twitter attached a warning to some of his tweets prompting readers to fact check the president’s claims.

With world’s attention on Covid-19, warnings that lack of measures to contain pandemic could lead to culling of record number of pigs
The African swine fever (ASF) pandemic will be even worse this year than in 2019, say experts, warning that the spread of the highly contagious virus, which is fatal to pigs, is unrelenting.
With world attention on the human viral pandemic of Covid-19, concern is growing that countries are not focusing enough on halting the spread of ASF through better biosecurity practices, cooperation on intensive vaccine development, or transparency regarding outbreaks.

The novel coronavirus uses the same strategy to evade attack from the human immune system as HIV, according to a new study by Chinese scientists.Both viruses remove marker molecules on the surface of an infected cell that are used by the immune system to identify invaders, the researchers said in a non-peer reviewed paper posted on preprint website bioRxiv.org on Sunday. They warned that this commonality could mean Sars-CoV-2, the clinical name for the virus, could be around for some time, like…

The Catholic church in Ireland lost power by flouting the morals it prescribed. The Tory government risks a similar fate
It is not news that Boris Johnson and Dominic Cummings treat rules with contempt. But there is one rule even they might be expected to obey, because it is crucial to the maintenance of power. Never, ever, make the people who place their faith in you feel like fools.
Or, to put it another way, never let the people who think they are making a sacrifice realise that in fact they are the sacrifice. Before breaking this rule so flagrantly, Johnson and his consigliere would have done well to consider the fate of what used to be one of the most powerful institutions on these islands: the Irish Catholic church.
