O Asia Times publicou hj reportagem dizendo que o governo chinês pode ter voltado a maquiar as estatísticas sobre a SARS desde o meio do mês passado. Um médico do interior da China que por motivos óbvios prefere permanecer anõnimo, explica:
"It can be understood this way: Since May 11, domestic observed cases are actually what the outside world has been told are 'suspected' cases, whereas domestic suspected cases are actually presented to the outside world as diagnosed cases. Hence, when referring to domestic confirmed cases, the definition a while back was for those who had transmitted SARS to others. Now, it's a new policy of 'avoid it if you can'." What this means is that a gray area has been created which allows for SARS cases, confirmed or suspected, to fall through the statistical cracks.
O Asia Times traz tb reportagem relembrando o massacre da praça da paz celestial que completa 14 anos amanhã.
After 14 years, addressing the key, albeit obscure issue Tiananmen Square raised is increasingly crucial: Participatory politics is a hard sport for beginners. In Asia, there are more beginners than ever before, but most remain as clueless as their 1989 counterparts.
