China’s largest desert flooded by heavy rain; Delta strain spreads, Chinese cities shut down



Heavy rains and melting snow soak China’s largest desert. The flooding drenched over 100 square miles.

A Canadian citizen has been detained in China on suspicion of rape. He’s been identified as a Chinese-born pop singer. Surveys reveal that the world view on Beijing seems to be changing—and not in favor of the communist regime. Now, millions have signed a petition aimed at ending China’s Communist Party.
