Chinese Adviser Says Joe Biden Could "Start Wars", called him "Very Weak President"

 World News: China must drop its illusion that its relations with the US will automatically improve under President-elect Joe Biden's administration, a Chinese government advisor has said, adding that Beijing should be prepared for a tough stance from Washington.

Zheng Yongnian, the Dean of the Advanced Institute of global and Contemporary China Studies, a Shenzhen-based think tank, has said that the Chinese government should utilise every opportunity to fix ties with the US, South China Morning Post has reported.

"The good old days are over... the cold war hawks in the US have been in a highly mobilised state for several years, and they will not disappear overnight," Zheng said in an interview on the sidelines of the Understanding China Conference in Guangzhou recently.

Zheng, who attended a symposium hosted by President Xi Jinping in August to offer advice on China's long-term strategy, said there was now a bipartisan consensus within the US on containing China.

Zheng said President-elect Joe Biden might make the most of the public resentment towards China after he entered the White House. "American society is torn apart. i don't think Biden can do anything about it," Zheng said.

"He is certainly a very weak President, if he can't sort out domestic issues, then he will do something on the diplomatic front, do something against China. If we say Trump is not interested in promoting democracy and freedom, Biden is. (President Donald) Trump is not interested in war... but a Democratic President could start wars."

The relationship between China and therefore the us have deteriorated under President Trump over a range of reasons, including the Covid-19 handling, trade and human rights.

Over 300 separate Bills targeting China are involved by both Democrats and Republicans within the Congress, and therefore the important ones addressing the catastrophes in Hong Kong and Xinjiang enjoyed full bipartisan support. the foremost potentially effective law, the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, which Trump only reluctantly signed, was co-sponsored by Republican Marco Rubio and Kamala Harris, the Democrats' Vice-President-elect.

Chinese foreign policy specialists have said they expect tensions between the US and China to continue under the Biden presidency.

At times during the election campaign, Biden took a tough line on China, calling Xi a "thug".

His campaign also signalled that he will call out China on its repressive policies within the far western region of Xinjiang.

Wang said China remained resolute in protecting its sovereignty and hoped the next US administration would "meet China halfway".

Decision Desk HQ declares Joe Biden as next US president

World News/ US Elections 2020: Democratic candidate Joe Biden moved closer to winning the White House on Friday as he expanded his lead over President Donald Trump in battleground states, yet television networks and news outlets have stayed away from declaring him the victor as officials continued to count votes in a few states where race is exceptionally close.

The Decision Desk HQ has become the first outlet to call the election in favour of Joe Biden, naming him the 46th President of the United States.

"Decision Desk HQ projects that @JoeBiden has won Pennsylvania and its 20 electoral college votes for a total of 273. Joe Biden has been elected the 46th President of the United States of America. Race called at 11-06 08:50 AM EST" said the tweet.

Race called at 11-06 08:50 AM EST

— Decision Desk HQ (@DecisionDeskHQ) November 6, 2020

Decision Desk HQ made the call on Twitter after a batch of ballots came in from Philadelphia that put Biden in the lead by 5,500 votes in Pennsylvania.

With more than 100,000 ballots still left to be counted in the state, and with those ballots tilting very heavily toward Biden, there is no realistic path for Donald Trump to win the state. And yet, all the networks have hesitated to say unequivocally that Joe Biden will be the next president.

However, the Decision Desk HQ has not called either Georgia or Arizona — two other states where Biden leads. Decision Desk HQ was launched by Brandon Finnigan in 2014 and he is reported to have conservative leanings.

Other media outlets like Associated Press and Edison Research are also yet to call out the elections.

Here is how different desks are projecting the numbers:

The New York Times projection

The New York Times is taking into account a number of factors before declaring a winner, including race calls made by The Associated Press and Edison Research.

According to the NYT, Joe Biden stood on the cusp of the presidency on Friday, seizing leads over President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania and Georgia and building on his lead in Nevada as he drew ever closer to securing the 270 electoral votes needed to lay claim to the White House.

According to the NYT tracker, Biden had a lead of 253 while Trump was at 214.

The NYT said that in Pennsylvania, the remaining mail ballots are expected to favor Democrats while in Georgia, A small number of absentee, provisional and overseas military ballots remain uncounted.

AP projection

According to the projections from AP, Biden has a lead of 264 electoral votes while Trump is at 214.

In Pennsylvania, Biden has a lead of 49.64% votes while Trump is at 49.21%.

US Elections 2020: Trump Says, he is going to Supreme Court, Claims Victory

US Election Result 2020: "We were winning in many other states and we were just about to declare it and then suddenly this fraud happened there. A fraud on the American people. and we will not let this happen," said the US President.

Image Source: Google

World News: US President Donald Trump claimed early Wednesday that he had won the US election and, accusing rival Joe Biden's Democrats of "fraud", declared that he would move to the Supreme Court to dispute the counting of votes. "We were just about to win, in fact, we have already won," Trump said in an extraordinary speech from the White House at 2.30 am.

The Biden camp called Trump's bid to prevent vote counting "outrageous and unprecedented". The Democrat nominee's legal teams are "ready to deploy" if Trump tries to halt vote count, said his campaign.

The President said the Republicans were about to celebrate a "beautiful" victory when "suddenly something happened".

"We were winning in many other states and we were just about to declare it and then suddenly this fraud happened there. A fraud on the American people. and we will not let this happen," said President Trump, asserting that he would move to court and "we want all voting to stop." He appeared to mean stopping the counting of mail-in ballots, which may be legally accepted by state election boards after Tuesday's election, provided they were sent in time.

"So, we are going to go to the US Supreme Court and ensure that suddenly new ballots are not mysteriously found at 4 am and added to their tally. Quite frankly this is a shame to America and to the millions of Americans," he said, speaking from the East Room of the White House with vice president Mike Pence and First Lady Melania Trump by his side.

"We will not let them get away with this. The results have been phenomenal... we are surely going to win. We are far ahead in the states where numbers are still coming in. they will never ever catch up with us," he said.

He added that the Republicans were winning most states where counting was on and that too would be a large margin. "We don't even need all of them, but we are still winning."

Election results from some battleground states, including Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and Georgia, are still not clear and projections from major networks show Trump, 74, still short of the 270 electoral votes need to win re-election. Trump won the key states of Florida, Ohio and Texas, erasing Biden's hopes for a decisive early victory. Biden won Arizona, Virginia and New Hampshire among others.

Biden, 77, was eyeing the so-called "blue wall" states of Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania that sent Trump to the White House in 2016 for possible breakthroughs.

Earlier, the Democratic presidential nominee asserted that he's on track to win the election, warning supporters that it might take time to complete counting the votes. "Keep the faith guys. We are going to win this (election)," Biden told a crowd in his hometown of Delaware.

US President Donald Trump and First Lady tested Positive for Covid-19

 The shock development disrupts Donald Trump’s scheduled public appearances within the crucial final weeks of the election campaign.

Image Source:Google

World News: U.S. President Donald Trump said late on Thursday that he and First Lady Melania Trump have tested positive for Covid-19 and are quarantined after a top aide tested positive for coronavirus, in a very shock development that disrupts his scheduled public appearances within the crucial final weeks of the election campaign.

Tags: World News,Latest News,Covid-19,

Trump’s positive test comes just hours after the White House announced that senior aide Hope Hicks decreased with the virus after traveling with the president several times this week. Trump was last seen by reporters returning to the White House on Thursday evening and looked to be in good health.

Trump is 74 years old, putting him at higher risk of great complications from a virus that has now killed over 200,000 people nationwide. "Tonight, @FLOTUS and i tested positive for COVID-19. we will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. we will get through this TOGETHER!" Trump tweeted.

Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 2, 2020

Trump announced late Thursday that he and first lady Melania Trump were beginning a “quarantine process” after Hicks decreased with the virus, though it wasn’t clear what that entailed. It can take days for an infection to be detectable by a test.

Tags: World News,Latest News,Covid-19,

The diagnosis marks a significant blow for a president who has been trying desperately to convince the American public that the worst of the pandemic is behind them even as cases continue to rise with less than four months before election day. And it stands because the most serious known public health scare encountered by any sitting American president in recent history.

Symptoms of COVID-19 can include fever, cough and breathing trouble. most of the people develop only mild symptoms. But some people, usually those with other medical complications, develop more severe symptoms, including pneumonia, which can be fatal.

In an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity on Thursday, Trump said he was awaiting results of a COVID-19 test. “Whether we quarantine or whether we have it, I don’t know,” he said, adding that first lady Melania Trump was also awaiting results.

Hicks traveled with the president multiple times this week, including aboard Marine One, the presidential helicopter, and on Air Force One to a rally in Minnesota on Wednesday, and aboard Air Force One to Tuesday night’s first presidential debate in Cleveland.

Trump had consistently played down concerns about being personally susceptible to contracting COVID-19, even after White House staff and allies were exposed and sickened. “I felt no vulnerability whatsoever,” he said told reporters back in May.

He has instead encouraged governors to reopen their states and tried to focus the nation’s attention on efforts to revive the economy — not a growing death toll — as he seeks another four-year term.

Some studies suggest COVID-19 patients who are obese could also be at higher risk of being seriously sickened by the virus, although it’s unclear whether that’s because they're more likely to possess other health conditions like heart disease or diabetes. In his 2019 physical, Trump met the technical threshold for obesity.

The news was bound to rattle an already shaken nation still grappling with how to safely reopen while avoiding further spikes. The White House has access to near-unlimited resources, including a constant supply of quick-result tests, and still failed to keep the president safe, raising questions on how the rest of the country are going to be ready to protect its workers, students and the public as businesses and schools reopen.

Trump, the vice president and other senior staff have been tested for COVID-19 daily since two people that work on the White House complex tested positive in early May, prompting the White House to step up precautions. Everyone who comes into contact with the president also receives a quick-result test.

Tags: World News,Latest News,Covid-19,

Yet since the early days of the pandemic, experts have questioned the health and safety protocols at the White House and asked why more wasn’t being done to protect the commander in chief. Trump continued to shake hands with visitors long after public health officials were warning against it and he initially resisted being tested. He has been reluctant to practice his own administration’s social distancing guidelines for fear of looking weak, including refusing under almost all circumstances to wear a mask publicly .

Trump isn't the only major world leader known to have contracted the virus. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson spent a week in the hospital, including three nights in intensive care, where he was given oxygen and watched round the clock by medical workers. German Chancellor Angela Merkel self-isolated after a doctor who gave her a vaccination tested positive for the virus, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau worked from home after his wife fell ill.

The White House got its first COVID-19 scare in early March when a minimum of three people that later tested positive came in close proximity to the president at his private Florida club. That included members of the Brazilian president’s delegation, including the Brazilian chargé d’affaires, who sat at Trump’s dining table .

Tags: World News,Latest News,Covid-19,

In mid-March, as the virus continued to spread across the country, the White House began taking the temperature of everyone entering the White House complex, and in April, it began administering rapid COVID-19 tests to all those in close proximity to the president, with staffers being tested about once a week. The frequent tests gave some staff the false impression the complex was safe from the virus, and few, as a result, followed recommended safety protocols, including wearing masks. but then the bubble broke.

On May 7, the White House announced that a member of the military serving together of the president’s personal valets tested positive for the virus, followed a day later by a positive diagnosis for vice president Mike Pence’s press secretary.

Even then, Trump said he was “not worried” about the virus spreading in the White House. But officials again stepped up safety protocols for the complex, directing everyone entering the West Wing to wear a mask.

Tags: World News,Latest News,Covid-19,

“I think it’s very well contained, actually,” Trump told reporters on May 11. But by June, concerns at the White House had dissipated once again, with few staffers bothering with masks even as more and more people tested positive for the virus, including campaign staffers preparing for a Tulsa rally and United States Secret Service agents.

On July 3rd, Kimberly Guilfoyle, who is dating Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., tested positive in South Dakota before an Independence Day fireworks show at mount rushmore. Guilfoyle, a former Fox News personality who works for Trump’s campaign, had not flown on Air Force One and had not been in direct contact with the president, though she had had contact with numerous top GOP officials. In July, Trump's national security adviser, Robert O’Brien, tested positive.

While there's currently no evidence that Trump is seriously ill, the positive test also raises questions on what would happen if he were to become incapacitated due to illness. The Constitution’s 25th Amendment spells out the procedures under which a president can declare themselves “unable to discharge the powers and duties” of the presidency. If he were to make that decision , Trump would transmit a written note to the Senate president pro tempore, Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. Pence would serve as acting president until Trump transmitted “a written declaration to the contrary.”

The vice president and a majority of either the cabinet or another body established by law, can also declare the president unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, in which case Pence would “immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President” until Trump could provide a written declaration to the contrary.

Human rights lawyers sue Trump administration over the 'unconstitutional' ICC sanctions

World News: Human rights lawyers launched a legal challenge on Thursday to U.S. President Donald Trump’s executive order imposing economic sanctions on employees of the world’s permanent war crimes tribunal, arguing it breaches the U.S. constitution.

A filing lodged at a district court in new york by the open society Justice Initiative, a public interest law centre that specialises in war crimes cases, names Trump, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and 7 other members of his administration.

Tags: World News, Latest News,

It argues that the executive order violates constitutional rights, including freedom of speech, and prevents the plaintiffs from carrying out work in support of international justice.

“By issuing this outrageous order, the Trump administration has betrayed Washington’s long-standing support for international justice, snubbed its allies, and violated the U.S. constitution,” open society Justice Initiative executive James Goldston said during a statement.

“We are going to court to end this reckless assault on a judicial institution and the victims it serves.”

Trump authorised U.S. economic and travel sanctions against employees of the Hague-based International criminal court and anyone supporting its work on June 12, citing their involvement in an investigation into whether American forces committed war crimes in Afghanistan.

On Sept. 2, Pompeo said ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda had been blacklisted.

The ICC has said the measures are an attack on the court, the system of international criminal justice and therefore the rule of law more generally.

Tags: World News,Latest News,

European Union countries and rights groups have rejected the U.S. sanctions as detrimental to efforts to secure international justice for war crimes.

Measures include freezing the U.S. assets of those who help the ICC investigate or prosecute americans without U.S. consent, and barring them and their families from the u. s..

The main target of the move is Bensouda, who was granted approval in March to investigate possible crimes committed in Afghanistan between 2003 and 2014.

These include alleged mass killings of civilians by the Taliban also because the alleged torture of prisoners by Afghan authorities and, to a lesser extent, by U.S. forces and also the CIA.

Announcing the executive order in June, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo described the ICC, established in 2002 by the international community to prosecute war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity, as a “kangaroo court”.

Trump administration officials also said it threatened to infringe on U.S. national sovereignty and accused Russia of manipulating it to serve Moscow’s ends.

U.S. nears grim milestone of 200,000 COVID-19 deaths

 The death toll from the spread of the coronavirus within the united states was approaching over 200,000 on Monday, by the far the highest number of any nation.

CREDIT: REUTERS/MIKE SEGAR

The united states, on a weekly average, is now losing about 800 lives every day to the virus, according to a Reuters tally. That's down from a peak of 2,806 daily deaths recorded on April 15.

During the early months of the pandemic, 200,000 deaths was regarded by many as the maximum number of lives likely to be lost within the united states to the virus.

On Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump said the worst was over, as the death toll reached 199,630 with 6.8 million confirmed cases.

“We are rounding the corner on the pandemic, with or without a vaccine... and we’ve done a phenomenal job - not just a good job - a phenomenal job. Other than public relations, but that’s because I have fake news.”

Trump has previously admitted to playing down the danger of the coronavirus early because he didn't want to “create a panic.”

With barely six weeks left before the election on Nov. 3, Trump is behind Democratic rival Joe Biden nationally in every major public opinion poll and is neck and neck in key swing states. Trump’s handling of the pandemic and subsequent economic downturn has battered his standing among many citizens .

Trump has frequently questioned the recommendation of scientific experts on everything from the timing of a vaccine to reopening schools and businesses to wearing a mask. He has refused to support a national mask mandate and held large political rallies where few wore masks.

U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Robert Redfield recently told Congress that a mask would offer more guaranteed protection than a vaccine, which might only be broadly available by “late second quarter, third quarter 2021.”

Trump refuted the timeline for the vaccine and said that it's going to be available in a matter of weeks and before the Nov. 3 election.

Biden, who often wears a mask and has said he would require masks nationwide, has warned against a rushed release of a vaccine, saying, “Let me be clear: I trust vaccines, I trust scientists, but I don’t trust Donald Trump.”

The University of Washington’s health institute is forecasting coronavirus fatalities reaching 378,000 by the end of 2020, with the daily death toll skyrocketing to 3,000 per day in December.

Over 70% of these within the united states who have lost their lives to the virus were over the age of 65, per CDC data.

The southern states of Texas and Florida contributed the most deaths within the united states in the past fortnight and were closely followed by California.

California, Texas and Florida - the three most populous U.S. states - have recorded the most coronavirus infections and have long surpassed the state of new York, which was the epicenter of the outbreak in early 2020. The country as a whole is reporting over 40,000 new infections on the average every day and saw cases last week rise on a weekly basis after falling for eight weeks in a row.

Deaths rose 5% last week after falling for four weeks in a row, as per a Reuters analysis.

Six out of each 10,000 residents within the united states has died of the virus, according to Reuters data, one of the highest rates among developed nations.

Brazil follows the united states in the number of overall deaths due to the virus, with over 136,000 fatalities. India has had the world’s highest daily death rate over the last week with total deaths now approaching 100,000.

Donald Trump accused of sexual assault by former model Amy Dorris

 Amy Dorris told Britain's The Guardian that Trump sexually assaulted her in his VIP suite at the US Open tennis tournament in new york -- claims he denied via his lawyers.

A former model has accused President of United States Donald Trump of groping and forcibly kissing her in 1997 -- the newest allegation made against the Republican incumbent just weeks before he seeks reelection.

Amy Dorris told Britain's The Guardian that Trump sexually assaulted her in his VIP suite at the US Open tennis tournament in new york -- claims he denied via his lawyers.

"He just shoved his tongue down my throat and i was pushing him off. and then that's when his grip became tighter and his hands were very gropey and all over my butt, my breasts, my back, everything," Ms Dorris said in an interview.

"I was in his grip, and i couldn't get out of it," she added.

Trump has faced more than a dozen allegations of sexual misconduct, including a claim by prominent American columnist E. Jean Carroll that he raped her in a department store changing room in the mid-1990s.

But he brushed them aside in his run for the White House.

Shortly before the 2016 election, a tape emerged from 2005 in which he was heard boasting about how his fame allowed him to "grab" women by the genitals when he wanted.

Trump dismissed this as "locker room banter" but subsequently apologized.

Dorris was 24 at the time of the alleged incidents. Trump was 51 and married at the time to his second wife, Marla Maples.

The accuser provided The Guardian with several photos showing her in Trump's company, and multiple people corroborated her account, saying she told them at the time.

She says she told Trump to stop but "he didn't care." She added: "I felt violated, obviously."

Asked why she continued to be around Trump in subsequent days, Dorris responded: "That's what happens when something traumatic happens -- you freeze."

But Trump's attorneys told the newspaper that her version of events was unreliable and there would be other witnesses if she had been assaulted.

They suggested in comments to The Guardian that the allegation might be politically motivated, coming weeks before Trump faces Joe Biden in the November 3 election.

Dorris, now 48, said she decided to come forward to be a role model for her teenage twin daughters.

She first told The Guardian her story quite a year ago, but asked the newspaper to not publish it.

"I'm sick of him getting away with this," Dorris said.
