79 rivers exceed flood warning levels in China; Beijing blocks Taiwan-Germany vaccine deal
Capitol Hill is debating the Endless Frontier spending bill. But one amendment has already passed — blocking funding for ‘gain of function’ virus research in China’s Wuhan lab. The lab leak theory resurfaces in news headlines. U.S. President Biden says he’s asked the intelligence community to dig deeper into the origins of the pandemic. China’s flood season kicks off early this year. Nearly 80 rivers in Southern China have already surpassed warning levels and may soon start to overflow. And, Hollywood actor John Cena is apologizing to Chinese fans after he referred to Taiwan as a country. Many Americans are accusing him of appeasing the Chinese regime for access to the Chinese market. But a Hollywood producer says, this is part of a bigger systemic issue.
