To sum up #Beijing Winter Olympics 2022:
1) China held the event in a pandemic
2) Showcased measures to control Covid, keeping everyone safe. (Embarrassing US/UK)
3) First carbon neutral games
4) Solidarity among athletes despite media hostility.
5) Beautiful, hi-tech facilities
The @BBC blathering on again about NO SNOW, then TOO MUCH SNOW. 🙄
So instead of Plague Island learning anything from the #BeijingOlympics, the BBC blocks facts with hate propaganda.
China spends more on green energy than anyone else, and the games are carbon neutral.
I'm reminded that this is the most watched Winter Olympics ever.
#Beijing2022WinterOlympics
Almost forgot, China is new to Winter Olympics sports and yet won 9 Golds/15 total (3rd).
The next one will be very interesting.
Well done Eileen Gu and all the athletes who took part - you made this.
Congrats Norway for coming top 16G/37 total.

THREAD: 1) Those whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad. Trump in cornered rat mode yells about "China virus". Really? The Covid-19 chronology ignored by MSM:
April 2017 Trump makes a profit from his shares in Regeneron & Gilead. #coronavirus
2) May 2017, the month after his Regeneron & Gilead profits, Trump sends his covfefe tweets cuz he can't keep the excitement to himself. #COVID19 #coronavirus
3) 2019 Trump disbands the White House Pandemic team, closes the Beijing 47-strong CDC's office and later threatens to cut US funding for the Wuhan lab Ecohealth research project set up precisely to monitor viruses emanating from jungly southern China. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

Pompeo's China attacks increasingly unhinged, & now on environment from fossil fuel guzzlers? At 4 times US population, China's per capita carbon emission less than half US, 7th in the world. Global pollution making stuff moved to China. #Paris #renewableenergy @AttenboroughSir
2) So what have we learnt from @thecyrusjanssen's video? 2016 Carbon Dioxide Co2 EMISSIONS per capita:
1) US – 14.95t
2) Canada – 14.91t
3) South Korea – 11.50t
4) Russia – 9.97t
5) Japan – 9.04t
6) Germany – 8.88t
7) China – 6.57t

1) Trump/Pompeo/UK disinfo on Hong Kong National Security Law. 1984 Joint Dec: "The [HKSAR] will be directly under the authority of the Central People's Government of the [PRC &] will enjoy a high degree of autonomy, EXCEPT IN FOREIGN & DEFENCE AFFAIRS." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Brit… >
2) US NED-funded protesters trashed Hong Kong, beat, maimed, burn & killed Chinese civilians for a year while the cops struggled to maintain order & killed no-one. Meanwhile, US killed 1,004 Americans last year yet they're attacking China? Perverse.
3) A reminder of the Hong Kong rioters' brutality and slavishness to their former colonial masters. Lisa Nandy, Stephen Kinnock & others ignore these atrocities, instead inventing pretexts to build a war on 1.4b Chinese.

THREAD. Refreshingly objective piece by @MaxBoot with a few caveats. "If China had acted even 2 wks earlier, it cld've averted 86% of its coronavirus cases. But if Trump (acted) 2 wks earlier he could have prevented 90% of U.S. CV deaths." 1) washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…
2) China fumbled the start but it was investigating in the dark. This was a NEW "novel" coronavirus & they were panicked like everyone else. But once they got on the case they turbo-charged their efforts, sequencing the gene code in record time & sending it out 11-12 Jan.
3) Once there was confirmation of Human 2 Human infection they locked down an entire region, Wuhan/Hubei, population the size of the UK on 23rd Jan, locking down the whole country 1st February.

So once more @StephenMcDonell sticks a target on every Chinese person saying in his report on @bbcworldservice today that China was "the country that caused this catastrophe". Unscientific, unethical, just vile. #COVID19
BBC "journalist" @StephenMcDonell is too cowardly to engage with the horror of what he has done & has blocked me after targeting Chinese people with his unethical World Service report. There are serious points to be made about the science of #COVID19. ... 2
3) It is a virus everyone expected since US 2009 H1N1, hence US pandemic team set up. Covid-19 S strain was missed in US (& Italy), the L strain emerging in China & identified. The Chinese were VICTIMS not "the cause of this catastrophe". @bbcworldservice newsweek.com/china-may-have…
