> Some idiot running a site here called “InternsinBeijing” decided it would be funny to send out a news announcement saying that foreigners are no longer permitted to work in China until the corona virus pandemic is over. Of course he linked to the actual offfical government announcement that China is not pernitting foreigners to enter China at the time, not that foreigners are out of a job. The idiot did this as an April Fool’s Day joke. He’s probably going to find out how humorous the government finds his stunt. It’s probably safe to say that for one person, his “joke” might come true.

So, it’s not just on feeb. Idiots abound.
