Lunar New Year celebrations around the world; FBI chief: China’s threat ‘more brazen’ than ever



The Year of the Tiger is knocking–and people around the world are celebrating. Many embrace traditional festivities, including a unique, underwater lion dance!

But not everyone has been able to enjoy the holiday, as migrant workers in China fight to receive their paychecks.

The FBI chief calls the Chinese Communist Party “more brazen” and “more damaging” than ever before. His remark comes days before the Beijing Olympics’ Opening Ceremony.

Two hundred COVID-19 cases have been detected among #OlympicAthletes and staff. Among the infected patients is a U.S. gold medal hopeful.

And 10,000 people in one Chinese city are transported to a #QuarantineCenter. Thousands were seen lining up for hours in the rain, including parents with babies and the elderly.
