    Those with plans to go to Thailand.... No need proof of Vaxx. Considering it's #1 source of deep pocket tourist are from China.


    Thailand U-turns on COVID vaccination rule for visitors

    Thailand on Monday rescinded a policy announced at the weekend requiring visitors to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination, its health minister said, citing sufficient immunisation levels in China and globally.

    Anutin Charnvirakul said requiring visitors to show evidence of vaccination was inconvenient and a panel of experts had resolved that it was unnecessary as enough vaccinations had been administered globally.

    Anutin said visitors not vaccinated would also be granted entry without restriction.

    Were more strict than them actually since you need two doses or an antigen test to enter the PH

    Well Hindi Naman exclusive iyan Kay uncle Sam. China has been buying in on Hollywood for some years now precisely to push their own propaganda even though they had been using Hong Kong movie production outfits for years for the same purpose.

    Kaya pissed off Ang Beijing kung bakit after decades of projecting “soft power diplomacy“ through "chinawood" cinema and canto pop/HK pop music all over the world , china never really attained the same level of acceptance and popularity as south Korea has had w/ their k-pop and K-drama in such short a time. Hindi sila naging as influential in that realm.

    Off the top of my head, the movies 2012 and gravity were the more obvious cinematic tools of recent times that were used by Beijing because the common theme was w/o china, the protagonists (and even the world in the case of the former) would be dead.

    actually Madami pa movies and movie franchises na , na alter Ang original script because of Chinese influence - directly or indirectly - like Dr strange, James bond, mission : impossible, the martian, contagion, etc. Displayed prominently Ang Sino characters, cultures, and places Jan sa high profile movies na mga iyan precisely because Beijing is pushing an agenda just like what america did after world war 2.

    hollywood needed china market so hollywood self-censored on making anti-china movies

    -

    going forward, with anti-china sentiment at fever pitch in the west, hollywood will be forced to get with the program and make anti-china movies

    But major Hollywood studios are now dominated by Chinese money so that won't likely happen anytime soon. Most probably the opposite will happen nga because Beijing wants to sanitize their image especially after the Wuhan experience and the continuing west pH sea incursions plus their 9 dash line policy.

    Not that China is/was/will be portrayed as the bad guy, but Uncle Sam will always end up saving the day. Kaya when the US destroyed countries, the other citizens of the world will think that the US is just trying to give the world peace.

    unfortunately that's 60 + years of continuous bombardment of soft power projection can do. A certain level of "positive" American and western image has already been implanted in the world's psyche. Halos na -erase na nga sa history atrocities nila As a colonial power/s.

    Point is, propaganda is all around us especially in the digital age. Our gov't is active users of it, our local communist faction/s are into it, Russia is using it, Ukraine is engaged in it(quite successfully pa nga), even the Taliban has been very aggressive in utilizing this tool. Nasa sa atin na Lang at sa paghihimay natin kung maniniwala tayo o Hindi.

    imagine a ficticious country

    the country's leader doesn't like uncle sam

    pasaway ung lider ayaw sumunod sa gusto ni uncle sam

    the leader is marked for regime change

    method:

    accuse the leader of human rights violations, corruption

    economic sanctions follow

    economic crisis caused by sanctions make life difficult for the population --> mass uprising / coup --> leader is removed


    -


    if that doesn't work uncle sam will deliver freedom and democracy personally

    Sunod na ba tayong ge-gerahin ng US? Di ba galit na galit si Digong sa US and leaning pa sa China. Hindi nag-work yung 1st method eh, so dun na sa last resort which is gerahin na ng US ang Pinas?

    Coronavirus variant XBB.1.5 rises in the United States — is it a global threat?

    The XBB.1.5 subvariant now makes up around 28% of US COVID-19 cases, according to projections from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia, and its prevalence is on the rise globally. In the Northeastern United States, it seems to have rapidly out-competed the menagerie of other immunity-dodging variants that were expected to circulate alongside one another this winter.


    Will other countries require negative test for travelers from the US?
