Due to the ongoing trade dispute between Australia and China and the Sars-CoV 19 pandemic, a group of Indian sailors who have been stranded in Chinese territorial waters
have called for a "intervention" from the Indian government. Indian sailors make up a sizeable proportion of the world's merchant navy crews, as documented by Maritime Union of India (MUI). "We have been stuck here for a year now. We can't get medical treatment, we can't go out.
Our supplies are already running out," Gaurav Singh, a second officer aboard MV Anastasia, says in a video put up by Change.Org on Wednesday.
The sailors say that they had been waiting on anchor to unload the cargo outside the port before the trade spat between the two countries was triggered in May. Back in July 2019, the ship embarked on a voyage from Australia's Port of Hay Point to China's Caofeidian Port,
according to the merchant vessel tracking site Marinetraffic.com. Since reaching China, the vessel has been anchored in the waters of the Bohai Sea, unable to load its dry cargo.
"It would usually take a bit more than a month for a bulk carrier sailing at an average speed of 7.2 knots to get from Australia to China," says a master mariner.

#Germany #China #5G #Huawei

In contrast to countries like Great Britain, Germany does not exclude the Chinese with 5G across the board. But now the cabinet has agreed on stricter rules for foreign network equipment suppliers.
The federal government has been arguing for two years, now there is a draft law, the cabinet is supposed to get it underway on Wednesday. In contrast to countries like Great Britain and Sweden, Germany does not exclude Chinese companies across the board.
But Berlin, too, subjects the use of companies to strict rules. This is a problem for the German network operators: they have made themselves heavily dependent on #Huawei over the past few years. In the radio network of Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone and Telefónica,

Corona tests for travelers returning from risk areas with high numbers of infections abroad are no longer free as of today. The entitlement introduced in the summer has expired.
So far, vacationers have been able to get tested for free in order to shorten the mandatory quarantine when they return to Germany. Now the regulations are being tightened further.
Anyone who makes an "avoidable trip" to risk areas will no longer receive compensation for loss of earnings for the time of the quarantine. Exceptions are "exceptional circumstances" such as the birth of one's own children or the death of close relatives.
