China is opening up internally.
For generations, the hukou system meant the average Chinese national couldn’t freely emigrate within China. Like being geolocked to New York and being unable to relocate to Texas.
China did this in part for social control, and in part to prevent huge floods of people from moving to big Chinese cities for jobs before the infrastructure was available.
But now development in China is so broad-based, and the infrastructure so reliable, that they are gradually opening the borders *within* China by letting everyone move around.
The Soviets also had a system of internal passports. But the new Chinese system is less similar to traditional communism, and more similar to the Schengen region for the EU, or the free migration between the fifty states within the US.
In many ways China is moving in the opposite direction from the West, by opening up visa-free travel to China for 50 countries, introducing the K visa for skilled migrants, and gradually shelving the hukou system.
The overall trend is towards more free (albeit still controlled) flows of capital and talent within China.

It would be interesting to do a study to see how many patients have been killed by laryngoscope or intubation meds...
The ones I have seen, everyone is like "oh they were really sick", "You did your best", "we tried", "we just had to manage the airway" or a pat on the back for trying hard.
NO! This likely was a preventable death, we killed this patient. We need to quit tiptoeing around this and call it what it is.
We spend a lot of time and money on intubation training and shiney new equipment... but we have created lots of intubators and very few airway managers!
Quand ces vérités sont dites par nos leaders panafricains @KemiSeba1 et @Nath_Yamb, ils sont accusés de distiller un sentiment antifrançais ou encore qualifiés d’agents russes. Pourtant c’est un fait, la France est un pays sous assistance économique car elle dépend de l’Afrique.
@johnnyblacksad L'avantage d'avoir les mariages coutumier en afrique est que la pression venant d'elle est forte. Mais aussi le changement de mentalite devra venir a travers elle.
@SmartTrafficCM I wonder if your account could work out a deal with the transport agencies and leadership, then explicitly name and shame poor drivers daily. Crowdsource all vid data on terrible driving and expose them...I bet it'd get some serious traction if you did.
A recent study found young Black males are substantially more likely to be underdiagnosed and undertreated for ADHD than white peers
Studies have shown that underdiagnosis contributes to harsher school discipline and to the “school-to-prison pipeline”

THIS IS WHY I'M ANTI-NUCLEAR ENERGY AND HAVE BEEN FOR OVER A DECADE. IT IS NOT AN APPROPRIATE NOR SAFER ALTERNATIVE. WE MUST BE MORE INNOVATIVE AND CRITICAL OF "GREEN ENERGY" FADS.
