Mr Branson is entitled to his opinions. These opinions may be widely held in the UK, but we do not accept that Mr Branson or others in the West are entitled to impose their values on other societies. Nor do we believe that a country that prosecuted two wars in China in the 19th century to force the Chinese to accept opium imports has any moral right to lecture Asians on drugs.

FTC Restores Rigorous Enforcement of Law Banning Unfair Methods of Competition ↗
“When Congress created the FTC, it clearly commanded us to crack down on unfair methods of competition,” said FTC Chair Lina M. Khan. “Enforcers have to use discretion, but that doesn’t give us the right to ignore a central part of our mandate. Today’s policy statement reactivates Section 5 and puts us on track to faithfully enforce the law as Congress designed.”
discretion
mandate
crack down on: take severe measures against
The Federal Trade Commission issued a statement ↗ today that restores the agency’s policy of rigorously enforcing the federal ban on unfair methods of competition.Congress gave the FTC the unique authority to identify and police against these practices, beyond what the other antitrust statutes cover.
rigorously: in an extremely thorough and careful way
antitrust: relating to legislation preventing or controlling trusts or other monopolies, with the intention of promoting competition in business.
statute: written law passed by legislative body
constitution: a body of fundamental principles or established precedents according to which a state or other organization is governed. e.g. CONSTITUTION OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF CHINA
The FTC’s previous policy restricted its oversight to a narrower set of circumstances, making it harder for the agency to challenge the full array of anticompetitive behavior in the market.Today’s statement removes this restriction and declares the agency’s intent to exercise its full statutory authority against companies that use unfair tactics to gain an advantage instead of competing on the merits.
oversight: management and supervision; unintentional failure
tactic: an action or strategy carefully planned to achieve a specific end
merit: the quality of being particularly good or worthy, especially so as to deserve praise or reward

Lee Kuan Yew’s comment on Michael P. Fay
There are certain things that, if we move and yield, we have to yield to other people too. And if we do that , we have to ask ourselves “Have the systems done the work?”. Supposing we say, “Alright, because he’s an American boy, because the American president has asked us not to cane him, and we say alright, no caning”. Where’s your stand where’s your faith? If you don’t cane the boy just because he’s American, and meanwhile you cane the Indians, Pakistanis or Bangladeshis, what kind of government are you? What kind of stand do you have? Are you saying that “you are afraid of American”, yes we are, but not that afraid. You came to Singapore and you abide by Singapore law, and that’s our responsibility to enforce our law.

COVID quarantine made voluntary
Centralized quarantine for COVID-19 patients has been made voluntary and the rule requiring a negative nucleic acid test result for domestic travel and entry to public venues has been scrapped. The internet link of the circular was widely shared on social media and triggered a surge in search volume for air tickets on various travel booking websites.
The announcement, known as the “10 new measures”, comes less than a month after China introduced its first set of 20 optimization rules to deal with the highly transmissible, but less virulent, Omicron subvariants, which have spurred nationwide outbreaks.
The circular reaffirmed the importance of surveys to identify residents with underlying health conditions, and also the need to increase the vaccination rate among the elderly through publicity campaigns and incentives.
Zheng Zhongwei, an official at the commission and head of China’s vaccine development force, encouraged elderly patients with diabetes or high blood pressure to get vaccinated, saying the benefits far outweigh the risks.
