"Five district officials in #Shanghai are being held accountable, after a nursing home resident was transferred to a funeral parlor while alive." caixinglobal.com/2022-05-02/sha…
In a viral video on Sunday, a body can be seen being retrieved from a funeral home car parked at the entrance of #Shanghai Xinchangzheng Welfare Hospital, a local senior nursing home.
A voiceover from what appears to be a witness can be heard saying that funeral home staff returned the senior resident to the nursing home, as the elderly person was found to be still alive.
In a statement published by Shanghai branch of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection late Monday, the communist party secretary and bureau chief of the Civil Affairs Bureau of Putuo District, Zhang Jiandong, has been placed under party investigation.
Another four officials from the government and the nursing home — including the nursing home’s president — were removed from their positions and placed under investigations as well.
Xinchangzheng updated on Monday that the elderly man has been admitted to a hospital, according to state-owned media eastday.com reporting.

A proposal to buy 12 MH-60R anti-submarine warfare helicopters from the United States will likely be canceled due to the high price of the choppers, #Taiwan's Defense Minister Chiu Kuo-cheng (邱國正) said at a legislative session on Thursday. focustaiwan.tw/politics/20220…
The Navy was originally set to allocate NT$34 billion (US$1.15 billion) to buy 12 MH-60Rs to replace its aging anti-submarine choppers.
But a local defense expert in late February told local media that the U.S. State Department had rejected the proposal on the grounds that it "does not conform to the principle of asymmetric combat power."

"Foreign investors have begun to realise that #China is willing to take a significant economic hit rather than relinquish its commitment to its dynamic zero-Covid strategy or roll out the mRNA vaccines developed in the west." ft.com/content/abc71e…

"Much of Taiwanese cuisine has evolved from dishes brought by Han Chinese migrants, and as #Taiwan strives to define its cultural identity, chefs of Taiwanese heritage are trying to put their own stamp on New York’s food scene."
