In a recent report on Nov. 6 by the Chinese Central bank, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) virus pandemic has severely affected hundreds of large Chinese enterprises.
Nearly 600 million-dollar Chinese companies are facing financial troubles. And about three-quarters of them are in severe debt or have applied for bankruptcy.
In Central Europe, the Parliament of Slovakia passed a legal amendment last week on Nov. 4. The action declares the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, and its branch in Slovakia, as criminal organizations.
The new amendment prohibits authoritarian symbols of communism and Nazi fascism on monuments and memorial plaques.
The Communist Party ruled from 1948 to 1990 in Czechoslovakia as part of the soviet union. During its rule, the Communist Party repressed civil society and restricted civil liberties.
An independent human rights watchdog is calling for the WHO’s coronavirus evaluation panel co-chair, Helen Clark, to step down. That’s after it found Clark had close ties to Beijing.
The WHO appointed Clark as part of its “Independent Panel for Pandemic Preparedness and Response.” She served as the administrator for the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in 2016. That’s when she signed an agreement with China to cooperate on the Belt and Road initiative.
The watchdog argues in a letter that the inquiry can’t meet the standards for being impartial due to Clark’s ties to the communist regime. This comes after a recent New York Times report pointing out the WHO’s respect and praise for Beijing throughout the pandemic.
