尖閣諸島で「戦争恐れず」 中国軍中将、異例の言及
配信
【北京共同】中国軍のシンクタンク軍事科学院の何雷・元副院長（中将）が9日までに共同通信の単独インタビューに応じ、沖縄県・尖閣諸島を巡り「戦争を望まないが恐れない」と明言した。台湾武力統一に踏み切った場合、尖閣を同時に作戦対象とする可能性にも含みを持たせた。軍関係者が尖閣を巡り「戦争」に言及するのは異例だ。将来的な領有権奪取の強い意志が鮮明になった。
同シンクタンクは人民解放軍に政策提言している。何氏は2012年の日本の尖閣国有化を批判し、日本側の「挑発」が続けば「中国は国家の領土と主権、海洋権益を断固守る」と強調。「中国軍の国家主権、安全、領土の一体性を守り抜く強い意志と決意、強大な力を日本は見くびってはならない」と警告した。 日中関係が不安定化する要因について、台湾問題を挙げ「中国の核心的利益に干渉するのは許されない」と語った。尖閣を「台湾省」の一部だとする中国の主張に基づいて台湾統一と尖閣奪取を同時に行う可能性について問うと「（中国主張の）道理からすればそうだ」と答え、否定しなかった。
2022年2月24日（木）から始まったて、膠着状態のロシアのウクライナ侵攻戦争、2023年10月7日（土）から始まったパレスチナ戦争、次の戦禍は東アジアで起こる（いや、巨大な大国によって意図的に起こされる）、事は誰にでも解る

Security guards wearing masks monitor access to a neighborhood near QR codes used for scanning health code statuses, June 20, 2022, in Beijing. China’s health-code app was used during the zero-COVID era to confine people to their homes.
Updated at 8:35 am on Dec. 5, 2023
Chinese censors have deleted a news report investigating claims that local governments had brought back a hated disease-tracking app that was used during the “zero-COVID” era to confine people to their homes, amid an ongoing wave of respiratory infections across the country, according to local media reports and residents.
The Dec. 1 Top News article cited social media posts across China as saying that local governments in Sichuan and Guangdong had both brought the app back online after retiring it following the lifting of three years of harsh COVID restrictions in December 2022, with users posting screenshots of their "green" health code from the app.
While the article remained visible in syndicated form on Sohu.com’s mobile website on Monday, it had disappeared from the Top News website.
Guangzhou officials told the news service that some aspects of the app had never been retired, but that the app's ability to impose travel restrictions on individuals had been shut down in February and never reactivated.
The article also reported that the Tianfu Health Pass app in the southwestern province of Sichuan was once more showing a green code, according to residents who checked the government app.
‘Physiological nausea’
The deletion of the article, which was also picked up by several media organizations outside mainland China, comes as hospitals in China struggle to cope with a wave of respiratory disease, much of it among children.
The reports highlight public concerns that restrictive measures may make a comeback, as some suspect that the current pneumonia wave is being driven in the background by COVID-19, which affects people's ability to fight off opportunistic infections like mycoplasma pneumonia, and which has been associated with waves of other respiratory infections in children.
"I hope this will never happen again in my lifetime," commented Weibo user @uuk20_fca from Guangdong, while blogger Lao Xiaoza commented in a post to the China Digital Times that "there is no smoke without a fire."
"When I saw this, my first reaction was physiological nausea," the blogger wrote. "Don’t tell me how this great invention of digital governance has protected everyone’s health. I will never accept this account, no thanks."
Another blogger on the same site, Qinghui Youmo, posted a number of screenshots of reappearing health codes from social media users across China, including Zhejiang, Tianjin, Hebei, Guangxi and Shaanxi.
"Don't scare me like that – I'm close to tears," commented @YipingXuzijiang in a screenshot posted in the blog post.
Wave of sickness
The concerns come as a wave of respiratory disease sweeps across the country, prompting reported class closures amid official warnings of growing cases of influenza, mycoplasma pneumonia, respiratory syncytial virus and COVID-19.
The World Health Organization called on Beijing to share its data on an outbreak in Beijing and Tianjin that made international headlineslast week.
Later media reports dismissed people’s concerns about the return of the Health Code app, citing officials as saying that the app had never entirely been taken offline, because it offers other health data services in addition to COVID-19 tracking and tracing.
However, sporadic reports of compulsory COVID-19 testing have also emerged on social media in recent days, including at a conference in Guangzhou, according to Qinghui Youmo’s blog post.
A staff member at Shanghai Pudong International Airport who gave only the surname Ma for fear of reprisals said incoming passengers are being tested for COVID-19 on arrival.
"They say incoming passengers are being randomly tested, but I actually saw an entire flight being tested for COVID," the person said. "A friend of mine flew to Australia yesterday, and they were spraying the plane with disinfectant."
"Health codes have already started coming back online in various places," they said.
A nurse at a hospital in the central city of Wuhan, who gave only the surname Sun, said health codes are being reactivated in some parts of the country, including Fujian, Guangdong, Shaanxi and Sichuan.
"Mycoplasma pneumonia is very serious now, and health codes have been resumed in some areas of Fujian, Guangdong, Shaanxi, and Sichuan," she said. "The wave of mycoplasma pneumonia started in children and then started to spread, just like COVID-19 did back then."
"Now you have to line up for seven or eight hours to get anti-inflammatory shots at the hospital," she said.
Sichuan hit hard
A resident of Sichuan's provincial capital Chengdu, who gave only the surname Jiang, said Sichuan has been particularly hard hit.
"The outbreak in Sichuan is particularly serious – the hospital corridors are full of patients," he said. "A lot of people can't even get admitted to hospital."
But he was skeptical about the reports of the return of health codes, saying: "I don't think so."
The ongoing concern about health tracking came as authorities in Zhejiang's Yiwu city sent out a directive requiring urban and rural residents to stockpile grain, and maintain enough to feed everyone for 10 days.
"All departments and work canteens should maintain a large stock of grain in storage, equal to the average consumption over a 15-day period from the previous year," the directive, which was widely posted online, said.
The reports also sparked concern that the authorities are quietly readying themselves for a return to lockdown measures in a bid to stem the spread of infectious diseases.
The authorites on Dec. 1 also added several newly developed COVID-19 vaccines to their list of medicines approved for emergency use, according to the Chinese financial news website CLS.
National Health Commission spokesperson Mi Feng said on Sunday that the current outbreak is being caused by known pathogens, and called on people to wear masks and wash their hands.
Chinese health authorities are "actively monitoring and assessing winter respiratory diseases," and that outpatient clinics will start operating round the clock to meet demand for treatment, Mi said.
Measures are also being taken to ensure the supply of influenza and other vaccines, with a focus on early vaccination for key groups such as the elderly and children to reduce the risk of illness, Mi said in comments quoted by state news agency Xinhua.
A Guangzhou-based lawyer who declined to be named for fear of reprisals said public opinion in China is divided over the cause of the current wave of sickness, but few believe that the government is giving them the whole story.
"Privately, everyone believes that [these cases] are either sequelae from COVID-19 infections, or that they've been caused by [China’s homegrown] vaccines," the lawyer said, in a reference to public mistrust of vaccines following a number of public health scandals in which children died or were otherwise harmed by fake or incorrectly stored vaccines.
Some medical journals have reported coinfection with COVID-19 and Mycoplasma pneumoniae, while others have pointed to weakened immunity from infection and reinfection with COVID-19.

中国の呼吸器疾患急増、現時点で過度な懸念必要ない理由
2023年12月4日18：16付配信｜英ロイター電より
[上海 １日 ロイター] - 中国で呼吸器疾患患者が急増し、子どもの肺炎の集団感染が発生している事態について、世界保健機関（ＷＨＯ）がより多くの情報提供を求めていることが、世界中の注目を集めている。
ＷＨＯによると、中国保健当局は今のところ異常、ないし新規の病原体は検知していない。医師や研究者らも、国際的な警戒を要する証拠はないと話す。
しかし、台湾当局は高齢者や乳幼児、免疫力の低い人々に対して、中国への渡航を避けるよう勧告した。
中国で起きている事態についての現時点での情報や、専門家がパニックになる必要はないと考える理由は、以下の通り。
◎何が起きているのか
中国では昨年１２月にゼロコロナ政策を解除して以来、初めてフルシーズンの冬を迎える中で、呼吸器疾患が増えている。
この問題は、中国北部で子どもの肺炎の集団感染が起きているとする新興感染症監視プログラム「ＰｒｏＭＥＤ」の報告を踏まえ、ＷＨＯが中国に詳しい情報提供を要請したため、脚光を浴びる形になった。
一部のソーシャルメディアユーザーは、子どもたちが病院で点滴を受けている写真を投稿。西安など北西部の幾つかの都市では、混雑する病院の動画が報道され、医療システムひっ迫への懸念が高まった。
◎患者数増加の程度
中国国家衛生健康委員会は１１月１３日の会見で、呼吸器疾患の患者が増えていると述べたが、それ以上の詳細は示していない。
ＷＨＯの中国事務所はロイター宛ての電子メールで、中国当局は「現在の患者数はコロナ禍前の直近の冬におけるピークに比べれば少ない」と説明しているとした。
◎流行している病原体
データからは、患者数増加がゼロコロナ政策解除と５月以降に流行しているマイコプラズマ肺炎など既知の病原体との間に因果関係があることを示唆している。この肺炎は、特に子どもがかかりやすい。
１０月以降は、インフルエンザやＲＳＶウイルス、アデノウイルスなどが流行している。

◎マイコプラズマ肺炎は重大な不安か
呼吸器疾患について、一つ気がかりなのはマイコプラズマ肺炎の急増で、これは他国も同様の傾向にある。
ＷＨＯで新型コロナウイルスの技術責任者を務めるマリア・バンケルコフ氏は１１月２９日の会見で、マイコプラズマ肺炎はＷＨＯに対する報告義務はなく、過去数カ月間で増えたが、現在は減少しているもようだと述べた。
「われわれは自分たちが中国に持つ臨床ネットワークを通じて、世界全体、特に西太平洋と東南アジアで問題になっている抗生物質への耐性を巡る理解を深めるため、状況を追跡的に調査している」と、同氏は付け加えた。
ニューデリーのジャワハーラル・ネルー大学の疫学者はロイターに、マイコプラズマ肺炎が引き起こす感染症で一部重篤化するケースはあるが、大半の患者は抗生物質なしで回復するとの考えを示した。
◎専門家が懸念しない理由
中国の医師や海外の専門家は、現在の状況をそれほど深く懸念していない。他の多くの国でも、新型コロナウイルス対策の規制緩和後、呼吸器疾患が同じように増えているからだ。
北京のラッフルズ・メディカル・グループのセシール・ブリオン氏は「われわれが目にしているのは、現時点ではごく普通の事例に過ぎない。なぜなら従来と変わらないせきや熱などの症状が出ているからで、治療可能なのは良いことだ」と語った。
バンケルコフ氏も、患者増加は想定されていたと指摘。「世界中で呼吸器の感染症が増えている」と述べ、北半球では秋が過ぎて冬に入ろうとしているので、学童の感染が増える傾向にあると説明した。

What we know so far about surging respiratory illnesses in China
By AFP - November 25, 2023 @ 1:47pm
PARIS: Cases of respiratory illnesses have been surging in northern China, particularly among children, sparking speculation online of a new pandemic threat four years after Covid-19 first emerged in the country.
However Chinese health authorities have said the rising infections are a mix of already known viruses and are linked to the country's first full cold season after strict Covid restrictions were lifted last December.
And while emphasising that the full situation remains unclear, experts say there is little to suggest the cases were caused by a new virus.
Here is what we know so far.
On Nov 13, China's National Health Commission reported a surge of respiratory illnesses, mostly in children.

Chinese authorities have attributed the rising cases to the end of Covid restrictions, the arrival of the cold season, and the circulation of known pathogens including influenza, mycoplasma pneumonia, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and SARS-CoV-2 -- the virus that causes Covid.
