One news caught me attention this morning. I read about a “Haigui” tourist got beaten in Sanya when travelling there with his family. And they were treated very badly even at local police station. The news is spread in several well known overseas Chinese web sites. Obviously things have turned around, now the vice Mayor of Sanya issued appology.

This reminded me another news related to Xu Gong Science and Tech’s (000425.SZ) acquisition by Carlyle group. The Chinese regulators changed mind amid the strong opposition raised by the blog by Xiang Wenbo, the CEO of Sanyi Heavy Industry.

I will go to Ningbo this weekend. Will spend the time with my family there. I won’t update this blog for two days.

He is a #VaccineDenier which may have negative impact on the health of the babies, the toddlers, the younger kids in the US. I
