Xi Jinping and other leaders of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the state attended a ceremony on Thursday morning in Tiananmen Square in central Beijing, offering floral tribute to fallen national heroes.
The event was held to mark China’s Martyrs’ Day, a day ahead of the National Day.
The other leaders included Li Keqiang, Li Zhanshu, Wang Yang, Wang Huning, Zhao Leji, Han Zheng and Wang Qishan. They were joined by representatives from all walks of life at the ceremony.

At 10 a.m., all participants sang the national anthem, and thereafter paid a silent tribute to those who devoted their lives to the liberation of the Chinese people and the building of the People’s Republic of China, which was founded in 1949.

Nine huge flower baskets were placed in front of the Monument to the People’s Heroes. Xi and other leaders walked up to the foot of the monument, where he straightened the red ribbons on the baskets before leading other senior officials in a walk around the monument to pay their tributes.
The baskets, with ribbons reading “the heroes of the people shall live forever in our memory,” were presented in the name of the CPC Central Committee; the National People’s Congress Standing Committee; the State Council; the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference; the Central Military Commission; non-Communist parties, the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, and patriots without party affiliations; people’s organizations and people from all walks of life; veterans, retired senior cadres and the relatives of martyrs; and Chinese Young Pioneers.
The year 2021 marks the centenary of the CPC. Since the 18th CPC National Congress in 2012, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Xi Jinping at the core, the country has realized its first centenary goal of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, and has brought absolute poverty to an end.
Today, the Chinese people of all ethnic groups, determined and courageous as ever, are forging ahead with the second centenary goal of fully building a modern socialist China.

At the Go Green Virtual Conference on 30 September, the British Embassy Bangkok, on behalf of the UK Presidency of COP26, urged Thai companies to join the Race to Zero.
With one month to go before the pivotal COP26 UN climate negotiations in Glasgow, UK, business is increasingly playing a global leadership role in the climate discussions. Over half the sectors that make up the global economy are now committing to halve their emissions within the next decade under the near-term emissions reductions targets known as the 2030 Breakthroughs.
In each of these sectors, at least 20% of the major companies globally by revenue have committed to sector-specific 2030 goals in line with delivering net zero emissions by 2050. These include targets such as 60% renewable generation in the energy sector and using 5% zero-emissions fuel in the shipping sector. Other sectors include medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, food supply, fashion, cement and concrete, consumer goods and cooling.
Stakeholders across these 15 critical sectors are poised for systemic transformation. Thai companies are encouraged to join the global movement, for the sake of their business as well as the greater good.

“Climate change threatens to disrupt virtually every part of the global economy, and it’s critical that business leaders in every industry take action and join the fight,” said Michael R. Bloomberg, UN Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for Climate Ambition and Solutions, Founder of Bloomberg LP and Bloomberg Philanthropies, and Global Ambassador for the Race to Zero and Race to Resilience Campaigns. “The 2030 Breakthroughs are an important signal that more and more companies recognise the need to reach net-zero emissions”.
As a first step towards meeting these ‘2030 Breakthroughs’, all actors are required to join the UN Race to Zero campaign. With over 6,200 members from across 110 countries, including 4,470 companies, 220 financial institutions, 799 cities and 35 regions, Race to Zero has almost doubled in size in the last year. The campaign now represents about 20% of the global economy.
At the Go Green Virtual Conference on 30 September, the British Embassy Bangkok, on behalf of the UK Presidency of COP26, urged Thai companies to join the Race to Zero. Andrew Beirne, Economic and Prosperity Counsellor, said, “Embedding low carbon transition in your business planning is about visualizing with clarity the greatest economic transition of this century. It’s about planning to ensure your business can seize its opportunities – through energy and resource efficiency, through offering new services and by adopting new technologies”.
As Presidency, the UK is asking countries to come forward with specific plans to cut their carbon emissions by 2030, setting them on course for net zero. The private sector plays an important role in this. “COP26 must be the moment when every part of society embraces their responsibility to protect our planet. Setting ambitious but credible net zero commitments sends a strong signal to markets, supply chains, governments and consumers that businesses are committed to the low carbon transition.”, said Mr Beirne.
The Chinese mainland reported 24 imported COVID-19 cases and ten locally-transmitted infections on Thursday, the National Health Commission said in its daily report on Friday.
All of the newly-added local cases were reported in Harbin, northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province, the commission said.
Shanghai reported two new suspected case who arrived from outside the mainland, it said.
Surveys have shown that as many as half of unvaccinated workers say they will leave their jobs if theyre forced to get the COVID-19 shot, but in reality few of them actually quit, media said. “In other words, vaccine mandates are unlikely to result in a wave of resignations – but they are likely to lead to a boost in vaccination rates.”
For the first time since June, the rate of new COVID-19 deaths in the United States is expected to decrease over the next four weeks, according to the latest ensemble forecast from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which on Wednesday, for the third week in a row, also predicted that hospitalizations will decrease as well.
Meanwhile, according to The New York Times, the seven-day average of confirmed cases of the pandemic stood at 112,798 nationwide on Wednesday, with its 16-day change striking a 26-percent fall. The COVID-19-related deaths were 1,984 on Wednesday, the first time below 2,000 in recent weeks, with the 14-day change realizing only a 2-percent rise.

CNN on Thursday quoted Scott Gottlieb, a former U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) commissioner, as estimating that the Delta-driven wave of the pandemic could run its course by Thanksgiving, and COVID-19 could eventually become more of a seasonal nuisance than a devastating pandemic. However, Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said on Monday that is dependent on getting a lot more people vaccinated.

The CDC updated on Thursday that 214,043,376 people have received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine, making up 64.5 percent of the whole U.S. population; fully vaccinated people stood at 184,335,263, accounting for 55.5 percent of the total. There was a little bit scaling back for this rate — it was listed as 55.8 percent by the agency on Wednesday.
However, partly due to lack of vaccination, northwest state Alaska’s COVID-19 case count increased by 72 percent in the past two weeks, the highest in the country and topping state case and death records. The state was averaging 1,289 cases and 12 deaths per day as of Monday. The “Delta variant surge pushes Alaska’s sparse health care infrastructure to the brink,” reported NBC on Wednesday.
With the third-lowest number of intensive care unit beds per person in the country, the state’s hospitals are activating crisis standards, the government is flying in hundreds of health care professionals from out of the state, and public health officials have little recourse as state leaders hold firm on their opposition to mask mandates or distancing restrictions, according to the report.
“Low statewide vaccination rates are making matters worse,” added the report. Alaska has fully vaccinated 50 percent of its population, trailing the U.S. average of 55 percent. Alaska was an early leader in vaccinations and was the first state to open up vaccinations to anyone 16 or older, but COVID-19 rates plateaued in the early summer.

STRONG MEASURES
The CDC has issued a call for “urgent action” to increase coronavirus vaccinations among people who are pregnant, saying that immunization rates among that population have lagged, as COVID-19-linked deaths among pregnant people reach their highest levels yet during the pandemic.
In a health advisory released on Wednesday, the CDC said it recommends coronavirus vaccines “before or during pregnancy because the benefits of vaccination outweigh known or potential risks,” adding that its advice applies to “people who are pregnant, recently pregnant … who are trying to become pregnant now, or who might become pregnant in the future.”
More than 125,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases have been recorded among pregnant people as of Monday in the United States, including more than 22,000 hospitalizations and 161 deaths, government data showed. Twenty-two of those deaths were in August, the highest monthly total in the pandemic, per the CDC.
Earlier this week in southeastern state South Carolina, a federal judge temporarily blocked the statewide ban on school mask mandates, arguing that the provision discriminates against students with disabilities.
Judge Mary Geiger Lewis for the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina granted a motion for a preliminary injunction against the one-year law that had been written into the state’s budget and put school districts at risk of losing funding should they require students and staff to wear masks.
“No one can reasonably argue that it is an undue burden to wear a mask to accommodate a child with disabilities,” Lewis wrote in her memorandum opinion, comparing the mask mandate to schools being required to add ramps “to accommodate those with mobility-related disabilities so they could access a free public education.”
On Wednesday, social media giant YouTube announced the most daring decision that it will block all anti-vaccine content, moving beyond its ban on false information about COVID-19 vaccines to include material that contains misinformation about other approved vaccines.
The expanded policy will apply to “currently administered vaccines that are approved and confirmed to be safe and effective by local health authorities and the WHO (World Health Organization),” said the video-streaming platform.
The new policy will also see false claims about routine immunizations for diseases like measles, Hepatitis B and influenza removed from YouTube. That would include cases where vloggers who post content on the platform have claimed that approved vaccines do not work, or wrongly linked them to chronic health effects.

VACCINATION DILEMMA
In southeastern state North Carolina, Novant Health, a large hospital network, said on Tuesday that it had fired 175 staffers for failing to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
“By doing that, by not getting vaccinated, they voluntarily resign,” David H. Priest, chief for safety for Novant Health, said at a briefing.
The departures will not affect staffing at the hospital system of over 35,000 employees, Priest said, because the hospital has been using temporary staff members throughout the pandemic to make up for shortages because of staff members who have fallen ill with COVID-19.
In a statement, Novant Health also said that staff members who obtained religious or medical exemptions will be required to use additional protective equipment and submit to weekly coronavirus testing. “This continues to be a pandemic of the unvaccinated — there are occasionally breakthrough cases, but you can still see that vaccines are holding up,” added Priest.
Surveys have shown that as many as half of unvaccinated workers say they will leave their jobs if they’re forced to get the COVID-19 shot, but in reality few of them actually quit, according to an article in The Conversation, a nonprofit news organization that covers academic research.
“In other words, vaccine mandates are unlikely to result in a wave of resignations – but they are likely to lead to a boost in vaccination rates,” the researchers wrote in the article.
“Houston Methodist Hospital, for example, required its 25,000 workers to get a vaccine by June 7. Before the mandate, about 15 percent of its employees were unvaccinated. By mid-June, that percentage had dropped to 3 percent and hit 2 percent by late July. A total of 153 workers were fired or resigned, while another 285 were granted medical or religious exemptions and 332 were allowed to defer it,” the article quoted a typical case as saying.
