🔹Title: Five reasons why the US cannot attack North Korea like it did Syria
Date: 15/04/2017
The reasons:
1️⃣ Syria is pursuing nuclear weapons but North Korea has already had mature development.
2️⃣ China is North Korea’s ally. They have signed the Sino-North Korean Mutual Aid and Cooperation Friendship Treaty and the treaty is valid until 2021.
3️⃣ China treats North Korea as a buffer zone from the alliances that aligned with the US, including Japan and South Korea.
4️⃣ Both South Korea and Japan prefer non-military strike against North Korea as the capital of South Korea, Seoul is only about 40 km from the border.
5️⃣ Technically, the Korean Peninsula remains in war as fighting only halted on July 27, 1953 and US will break the treaty, which is supported by the United Nations, if she starts the war.
VOCABULARY
📍‘double down’
🔹English meaning: to do something in an even more determined way than before

📍‘inundate’
🔹English meaning: to give someone so much work or so many things that they cannot deal with it all

provinces中文 在 Icu醫生陳志金 Facebook 的最讚貼文
各位朋友
知名的醫學期刊刺絡針(Lancet)24日發表了一篇中國的研究論文。
#論文中把台灣當成中國的一省來和其他省來做比較。
台灣的許多學者，紛紛去留言表達抗議！
台灣和中國有著完全不一樣的健康照護體系，根本無法合在一起比較討論。
#這個顯然是中國作者在吃台灣的豆腐，試圖矮化台灣！
#這顯然是一個政治干預研究的例子。
外交部、台灣醫界應該同聲譴責，呼籲Lancet撤除此論文！
#各位可以到此留言表達關切，中英文都可以：

#也可以去給_不推薦_的評分，留下這段理由，或是中文的理由：
Taiwan is not a province of China.
Taiwan has a totally different healthcare system from China, hence, to compare Taiwan with other provinces of China is absolutely a methodological error. This article should be retracted from your esteemed journal. Please do not allow politics to interfere with research.
The Lancet | Research | Mortality, morbidity, and risk factors in China and its provinces, 1990–2017: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017
Chronic conditions, such as stroke, ischemic heart disease & lung cancer – not infectious diseases – are now top 5 causes of early death in China: finding from a new #GBDStudy of mortality, morbidity & risk factors in #China & its provinces, 1990–2017 by @Institute for health. This is the first comprehensive subnational assessment of health to include data on mortality, morbidity, combined health loss, and risks in China. Major improvements have been made to the GBD methods since the 2013 subnational analysis of population health in China. These include additional causes of death and disability, greater disaggregation of age groups, substantially expanded data sources, the development of data quality ratings, improvements to estimation models, the development of the Socio-demographic Index, consideration of summary exposure values for risk factors, and a fully updated time series of estimates, among other improvements.
