The U.S. Department of State issued a travel warning Monday to Americans, asking them to reconsider visiting China and Hong Kong due to “arbitrary enforcement of local laws.”
The travel warning says the Chinese government carries out “wrongful detentions” through exit bans on U.S. citizens without due process to coerce Americans to help the Chinese government in investigations, as well as pressure Chinese family members living abroad to return.
The warning added the Chinese government detains individuals to influence Chinese authorities to “resolve civil disputes in favor of PRC citizens” and to gain bargaining power.

It ’ s also incredibly depressing to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ system and spit out without anyone caring .

I ’ ve never seen a show like “ The Wire ” before , and I can ’ t believe it took me so long to watch .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ all the characters are complicated .
Mostly , it shines a light on a drug issue in this country that nobody seems too interested in talking about or fixing .
Season four went out of its way to show how screwed some of the youth are before they ever even get a shot at life .
To say it ’ s heartbreaking would be an understatement .
Start watching “ The Wire ” ASAP if you haven ’ t already .
It ’ ll be one of the greatest shows you ever watch @ @ @ @ @ @ @ left .

If it ’ s safe to play football in November , then it ’ s safe to play football right now .

Also , if you start playing football in November , then is the PAC-12 just bowing out of playoff contention ?
The committee isn ’ t putting a team in after four @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no situation where that happens .
So , by starting in November , the PAC-12 is just admitting they ’ re not going to be in the playoffs .

If the PAC-12 is willing to play in November , then they should play right now .

The best case scenario for PAC-12 football would reportedly have games starting in November.
According to ESPN, the “most aggressive” plan for the PAC-12 would have football games starting in “mid-to-late November.” (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
The PAC-12 originally canceled the 2020 football season because of coronavirus.

I seriously can’t get over how stupid these plans for a delayed football start are. It’s truly mind-boggling that people view this stuff as real.
How will it be safe to play football in November, but not in September or October? Can anyone explain that? Does anyone want to defend it?
If it’s safe to play football in November, then it’s safe to play football right now. It’s that simple. There’s no other way to put it.
