New DC experience: I’m standing outside a CVS in Dupont Circle, waiting for a ride. The surveillance machine above me just came alive to tell me not to loiter. Spent 5 years in mainland China and this is a new one for me. Image

The gap between how China thinks it’s doing in the world and how the world thinks China is doing in the world is getting wider by the week. 1/
There seems to be a genuine belief among *some* smart people in PRC that China’s domestic policy and diplomatic antics are projecting strength and confidence, embarrassing haughty foreigners 2/
When in reality, across much of the world, said policies are turning many people with no real, previous opinions on China into critics. And people are not in awe of the awkward, overheated Twitter posts — many are laughing at them. 3/

This morning's Covax update: Tedros says facility will deliver 270 million doses to 142 countries by May. I'm struck, as always, by both the bigness and smallness of that number. It means millions of doses for those who might not otherwise get them. But so damn short of need.
"The distribution of vaccines has not been as equitable as we like, but it has been more equitable than it would have been otherwise," Tedros said.
There's a big theme emerging in Covax presser: need to increase manufacturing capacity, particularly in low and middle income countries. Rich countries, in my understanding, are essentially holding that up. It's a policy issue, as well as a capacity issue.

If only *literally all of Asia* had warned us to wear masks.
I’ll never, ever understand why public health officials ignored evidence from across Asia and wasted months when we could have been wearing masks
Cloth masks were *always* an option if Americans hadn’t felt falsely invincible and exceptional, things could have been different

Just wanted to add a bit of context to the news that Trump plans to "terminate" the country's relationship with the World Health Organization. There is lots to say on this, but here are four important things to know right now:
1. It is very much unclear if the President can unilaterally pull the United States out of the WHO. The WHO constitution is a treaty and the U.S. ratified the treaty. Likely needs Congress. Even if a pullout can happen, it probably can't happen quickly.
2. But a portion of the money the U.S. gives the WHO could be on the line. U.S. cuts would have a negative impact on things like polio eradication and the coronavirus response. washingtonpost.com/world/polio-wa…

Debate between @trish_regan and @thepointwithlx is underway—and it is awkward. The phone line is scrambled as Regan starts by introducing Liu as a member of the Chinese Communist Party; Liu then denies she is a member of the CCP. 1/
Regan asks about intellectual property theft. Liu counters that property theft happens in many countries, including in the United States. Now discussing Huawei. 2/
So far, this is less of a debate than Regan asking Liu questions about the Chinese economy. Liu now defending China's status as a developing country, saying China wants to grow. "We want to grow up." /3

NEWS: First of the ‘Snowden refugees’ has been granted asylum in Canada. Woman who helped the whistleblower in Hong Kong is now on her way to Toronto, her lawyer told us. She will be resettled in Montreal. wapo.st/2FrM5xt?tid=ss…
Some background: When Snowden fled to HK he stayed in a luxe hotel until his name was splashed across the papers, then he disappeared into the city. In 2016, a group of seven asylum-seekers solved the mystery of where he was. They had sheltered him.
Vanessa Rodel was living in the city's crowded tenements when the lawyer handling her asylum case said an American in distress needed a place to crash. She welcomed him in. Then he moved in with other asylum seekers until reappearing on a flight to Moscow. 3/
