Last Tuesday (April 18) a fire broke out in Beijing Changfeng Hospital, killing 29 people and injuring 39 others. It was one of the fires with the most casualties in Beijing in the past ten years. Twelve related personnel, including the director of Changfeng Hospital, were criminally detained.

Strangely, the accident happened at noon, but the official media “Beijing Daily” did not issue an official report until nearly 9:00 p.m. During these 8 hours, the social network was silent, and sporadic fire images uploaded by netizens were quickly deleted . At noon on the 19th, the Beijing authorities held a press conference on the fire accident, and the topic of the Changfeng Hospital fire finally appeared on the Weibo hot search list, and this was already 24 hours after the accident.

After news of the incident fermented, the CCP authorities’ control over news and online speech once again aroused heated discussions on the Internet in China.

Last Wednesday, Japan granted refugee status to a Ugandan lesbian. After arriving in Japan in 2020, the Ugandan woman applied for refugee status on the grounds that her sexual orientation was violently confronted by the police in her hometown, but was rejected by the Japanese authorities and ordered to be deported.

The Japanese government has long been criticized for unclear criteria for refugee status and the low number of refugees it accepts. In order to improve the refugee status determination process and increase transparency, the Japanese Immigration Agency recently announced the refugee status determination guidelines. In March, the court ruled that the Ugandan woman met the criteria for refugee status announced by the Japanese government and ordered her recognition as a refugee. Once granted refugee status, she will be able to live temporarily in Japan for up to five years.
