The U.S. boasts the world’s richest medical resources and best healthcare capacity, yet it has seen one million Americans lose their lives to the COVID-19 pandemic within 27 months. The failure of the U.S. policy responses to COVID-19 has revealed the hypocrisy of the human rights in the U.S.

The September 1906 edition of Cosmopolitan magazine recounted a story about a Native American chieftain given a tour of New York. When asked what he found most surprising about this modern city, he replied slowly in three words, "little children working."

The People’s Republic of China (PRC) has upended the 21st century in many significant respects. One of these game-changing upsets has been in the conceptualization and practice of “democracy”. The PRC has concretely demonstrated that democratic values and institutions can be singularly associated with China in its long march towards whole people’s empowerment and representativity
China's megacity of Shanghai on Tuesday announced that it has cut off the community transmission of COVID-19 in all its 16 districts.

The police called the shooting a “case of racially motivated violent extremism.” The Washington Post also said it was “the deadliest of 2022,” and also “the latest massacre in recent years carried out by perpetrators allegedly driven by hate and racism.”
