China orders coalmines to raise production to address power crunch

 

Chinese officials have ordered more than 70 mines in Inner Mongolia to increase coal production by almost 100m tonnes, with the country battling its worst power crunch and coal shortages in years.

The move is the latest attempt by Chinese authorities to boost coal supply amid record high prices and shortages of electricity that have led to power rationing across the country, crippling industrial output.

The proposed increase would make up almost 3% of China’s total thermal coal consumption. In an urgent notice dated 7 October, the Inner Mongolia regional energy department asked the cities of Wuhai, Ordos and Hulunbuir, as well as Xilingol League, to notify 72 mines that they may operate at stipulated higher capacities immediately, provided they ensure safe production.

This is Totalitarianism.

Ontario reports 573 new COVID-19 cases; 10 additional deaths

Ontario reported 573 new cases of COVID-19 on Friday along with 10 additional deaths, as the province’s hospital burden continued a slow decline and active cases fell to a fresh multi-month low.

The seven-day rolling average of new cases continues to drop, now standing at 551, down from 565 yesterday and 597 one week ago.

Alarmed by COVID-19, Ontario seniors want to live in their homes as long as possible: poll

Nearly 90 per cent of Ontarians aged 55+ say they want to stay in their own home and remain out of the province’s retirement and long-term care system as long as possible, especially because of what COVID-19 has wrought on those facilities, a new poll finds.

The poll conducted in late September found 89 per cent of respondents plan to stay in their own home or apartment for as long as possible, while four per cent planned to move in to a retirement residence or with a family member.

Who can blame them, LTC homes and hospitals were death traps.

Afghanistan: Deadly attack hits Kunduz mosque during Friday prayers

A suicide bomber has targeted a mosque in the northern Afghan city of Kunduz during Friday prayers, killing at least 50 people, local officials say.

Images on social media showed bodies and debris inside the mosque, used by the minority Shia Muslim community.

No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack.

Sunni Muslim extremists, including the local Islamic State (IS) group, have targeted the Shia community because they consider them to be heretics.

Sunni v Shia civil war.

Victor Davis Hanson: ‘Open Borders,‘ ‘Globalism,‘ ‘Tribalism‘ Are Reminiscent of Rome‘s Collapse

“Every nation that has survived has had borders that were defensible and clear, and the idea was that they have their own space to inculcate their language or traditions or customs, then enhance their constitution. Without that, it’s just short of a migratory, 5th century A.D. Rome where people come across the Danube River and destroy the nation-state.”

C.I.A. Reorganization to Place New Focus on China … and Climate change??

The agency will create two new mission centers, one focused on China, the other focused on emerging technology, climate change and global health.

WASHINGTON — The C.I.A. will embark on a reorganization intended to focus more on China, the agency’s director announced on Thursday.

At the heart of the effort will be a new China Mission Center meant to bring more resources to studying the country and better position officers around the world to collect information and analyze China’s activities.

The new center “will further strengthen our collective work on the most important geopolitical threat we face in the 21st Century, an increasingly adversarial Chinese government,” William J. Burns, the agency’s director, said in a statement.

Climate change? I’m not feeling safer for some reason.

The Power is on the Side of the Killers, Not Their Victims

What Rep. Cori Bush’s racist defense of a black man’s killer tells us about power.

On a cold day in a Missouri winter, Mary Bratcher never came home to the trailer park where the single mother lived with her three children. She was working that night as a manager at a Casey’s General Store in Columbia helping out Mable Scruggs, another single mother, making ends meet by picking up a night shift. Neither of the two women would make it home again.

Democrats’ quagmire of Jew hatred

THERE is a sickness overshadowing the US, and it’s not Covid-19. The last year has seen an unprecedented rise in anti-Semitism. The Democratic Party, dominated by socialists and Islamists united by their hatred of Jews, have certainly contributed to this.

The Democrats excel in toxic rhetoric against the Jewish state. At the start of 2019, I noted that with the election of Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib into Congress, the party turned into an anti-Semitic cult…

Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc ‘not interested in apologies’ after Trudeau’s snub, leadership says

Leadership of the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc Nation said Thursday they are “not interested” in further apologies from the federal government after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ignored the community’s invitations to visit on the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation last week.

The community has instead called on Ottawa to commit to funding a new healing centre to support residential school survivors and their families, “so that tangible progress toward meaningful reconciliation can happen.”

Don’t they know how to build their own “healing centres” without the white man’s filthy lucre?

America Is Running Out of Everything

Is it just me, or does it feel like America is running out of everything?

I visited CVS last week to pick up some at-home COVID-19 tests. They’d been sold out for a week, an employee told me. So I asked about paper towels. “We’re out of those too,” he said. “Try Walgreens.” I drove to a Walgreens that had paper towels. But when I asked a pharmacist to fill some very common prescriptions, he told me the store had run out. “Try the Target up the road,” he suggested. Target’s pharmacy had the meds, but its front area was alarmingly barren, like the canned-food section of a grocery store one hour before a hurricane makes landfall.
