US To Require Negative COVID Tests After "Extremely Irresponsible" China Reopens Borders
Update (1500ET): US federal officials have stated that the US will require travelers from China to submit a negative COVID-19 test beginning on January 5th.
Why not now?
Is the Biden administration xenophopbic for singling out the Chinese travelers?
As we detailed earlier, Bloomberg reports that Italian health authorities will begin testing all arrivals from China for Covid after almost half of the passengers on two flights to Milan were found to have the virus.
Additionally, in Germany, health authorities are “closely watching” the situation in China, according to Health Ministry spokesman Sebastian Guelde.
China's National Health Commission announced on Dec. 26 that the country would end all quarantine requirements for inbound travelers from Jan. 8, 2023.
Travelers will need to obtain a negative PCR test within 48 hours of departure, it said. Currently, travelers entering China need to undergo five days of mandatory quarantine in an approved facility, followed by three days at home.
The health body added that outbound tourism, which plummeted to almost nothing during the pandemic, will resume in an “orderly” fashion.
It also removed the cap on the number of international flights to and from China.
Crucially for the rest of the world, as The Epoch Times reports, data from travel sites show that Chinese residents are rushing to book overseas trips.
Chinese travel platform Tongcheng Travel released data on Dec. 27, showing that the number of searches for visas to go abroad increased by 10 times, and the search volume of international air tickets soared by 850 percent.
Japan, Thailand, South Korea, the United States, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, and the UK were among the most searched destinations.
Sean Lin, a virologist and former lab director at the viral disease branch of the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, said that the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) opening up of the country is actually a strategy to get everyone infected not only within China, but around the world.
“When they can’t control the outbreak, they push it to the whole world. Just like when COVID first broke out in Wuhan, people who had been infected in Wuhan were allowed to travel around the world. The strategy is the same now as before,” he said.
Lin pointed to the regime’s lack of transparency amid the latest outbreak, a consistent behavior over the past three years during the pandemic.
“The CCP is not sharing data, and the international community doesn’t know how many different virus variants are spreading in China, and whether there are other compound infections,” he said.
“Under such circumstances, it is extremely irresponsible for the CCP to let the people out of the country which is a huge epidemic area. Put another way, it has a very treacherous purpose and is very malicious.”

Holiday Hope from Tommy Robinson: “The Battle will be Won in the USA”
Tommy says he’s “watched anxiously what’s happened in the United States… I felt your pain in 2020, when your election was stolen, and recently, Kari Lake’s. I know how you’re feeling. I can’t tell you what to do, but I’ll tell you what we can’t we. We cannot let apathy become a weapon for them. We are are at war, believe that. It’s a war of information.”
“Wheny you feel defeated,” Tommy say. “think of the generations that went before. Think of the soldiers in the Civil War, and how they felt. “Whenever I start feeling sorry for myself, I think of Normandy, and then I slap myself.”

Ten major revelations exposing extent of government pressure on Big Tech to censor Americans
From the FBI to the White House, federal intervention shaped social media narratives from Hunter Biden to pandemic policy.
Two hundred and thirty-one years ago this month, America's founders enshrined free speech as the first protection in the ratified Bill of Rights with a declaration that the government could not infringe expression. A series of blockbuster revelations at the end of 2022 show just how imperiled those protections have become in the era of Big Tech.
From Elon Musk’s "Twitter files" to an FBI agent's candid testimony, Americans have gotten a glimpse into a once-hidden enterprise where federal agencies pressured social media platforms – directly and through proxies – to censor content under their terms of service. The goal, it appears, was to preserve the ruling elite's favored narratives on everything from the pandemic to election integrity.
The exposés have undercut claims that the FBI only targeted foreign disinformation, making clear that everyday opinions of Americans were also in the crosshairs. They also have raised alarm across the political spectrum about the future of free speech in the world's most famous constitutional republic.
“We've entered into this period of American history where the range of permissible thought and speech has so narrowed that if you depart from it at all you are, you're labeled, you are censored, and you are silenced,” retired Democrat Sen. Robert Torricelli told Just the News earlier this month. "It's incredibly dangerous."
"And the odd thing about it is the very institutions which have been the safeguard of American free thought and speech — American universities, think tanks, the media — are the worst offenders," he added.

Musk slams 'corporate journalism' in blistering series of tweets
Magnate criticizes media response to "Twitter files."
Twitter CEO and increasingly contentious cultural critic Elon Musk this week slammed mainstream media for what he indicated was a lackluster response to the bombshell "Twitter files" his company has released over the last several weeks.
Those files have revealed a wide-ranging and at times conspiratorial effort by Twitter moderators to censor and restrict huge portions of speech on the platform, particularly those surrounding COVID-19 and President Joe Biden's family.
On Tuesday, responding to a writer's Substack post regarding "the extent to which the corporate media has become the propaganda arm of the state," Musk wrote on Twitter: "Why is corporate journalism rushing to defend the state instead of the people?"
"Why would anyone trust corpo journalism?" he wrote later.
Elsewhere, following a CNBC commentator's claim that Musk's "reputation with Twitter is impacting his reputation when it comes to all of his companies," Musk himself responded: "The legacy media should worry about its reputation. We have only just begun."
The business tycoon at one point indicated his willingness to consider Twitter's purchase of Substack, a popular online writing platform, in order to bring about "massive competition for obsolete legacy corporate media."
"I’m open to the idea," he said.
