China honors servicemen martyred, injured in defending western border
19th February 2021

 China's military authorities have honored two officers and three soldiers, including four who received the awards posthumously, for defending the country's western border.

 
The People's Liberation Army Daily on Friday reported that the Central Military Commission issued commendations to the servicemen for their role in bravely fighting back hostilities provoked by foreign forces at the Galwan Valley.
 
The title of "border-defending hero" was conferred on Battalion Commander Chen Hongjun posthumously, while Chen Xiangrong, Xiao Siyuan and Wang Zhuoran received first-class merit. They all died in a clash with trespassing foreign military personnel wielding steel tubes, cudgels and stones last June.
 
Qi Fabao, who was seriously injured in the skirmish, received the title of "hero regiment commander for defending the border."

Lecturer identified as virus super spreader in Jilin Province, linked to at least 140 cases
17th February 2021

 A super spreader was linked to at least 140 coronavirus cases in a northeastern Chinese city, according to a report released by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

 
The outbreak in Tonghua, Jilin Province, has been linked to a 44-year-old salesman identified as "Mr L."
 
He arrived in Tonghua on January 9 and gave three lectures the following two days, each lasting two and a half hours. A total of 97 people, most of them retirees, attended the lectures, and more than three-quarters tested positive, triggering a lockdown of the entire city.
 
Mr L directly infected 81 close contacts and indirectly infected at least 60 close contacts of those contacts in Tonghua's Dongchang District.
 
Because the participants were elderly with a median age of 72 years, leading to a high proportion of severe and critical cases. By the end of January, 47 severe or critical cases were reported, accounting for 15.2 percent of the total cases, including one death of an 87-year-old on January 25.
 
While giving the lectures, Mr L was in the early stages of COVID-19, which is when it is most infectious. The site of the lectures was small and crowded, there was no social distancing and few people wore masks.
 
As of January 31, a total of 310 cases had been reported in Tonghua, all in the Dongchang District.

Strong quake off Japan's Fukushima causes limited damage due to focal depth, seismic-resistant build
15th February 2021

 Over 150 people were injured but no death was reported as of Sunday after a 7.3-magnitude earthquake hit northeastern Japan Saturday, as experts attributed the limited casualties and damage to the quake's depth of epicenter and the seismic standards of Japanese buildings.

 
The temblor struck off Fukushima Prefecture at around 11:07 pm local time (1407 GMT) Saturday, with its epicenter at a latitude of 37.7 degrees north and a longitude of 141.8 degrees east, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA).
 
The quake was preliminarily measured at a magnitude of 7.1 and was later revised up to 7.3, while its depth was placed at 55 km, a revise from the initial 60 km, said the JMA.
 
While the magnitude of an earthquake is measured in one certain figure, the seismic intensity scale varies from place to place, depending on the hypocentral distance and focal depth.
 
The JMA puts the seismic intensity scale into 10 degrees, namely 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, Lower 5, Upper 5, Lower 6, Upper 6 and 7. Saturday's quake was measured Upper 6 in some parts of Fukushima and Miyagi prefectures.
 
On Sunday morning, some shops and metro stations were closed in Soma, where the earthquake was strongly felt. Some sections of the Joban Expressway were closed due to landslides. Other than that, not much visible damage was seen in the downtown area, with the city mainly operating in an orderly manner.
 
Wang Yuchen, a researcher at Earthquake Research Institute of the University of Tokyo, said that although Saturday's quake fell into the category of a shallow-focus one, its focal depth was relatively deep, which was "close to the range of medium-focus earthquake." Therefore, though the magnitude of the quake was high, it caused few casualties.
 
In comparison, the focal depth of the devastating earthquake in 2011 that killed more than 15,000 people in the same area was only about 24 km, while about 90 percent of the victims were killed by the following tsunami, a secondary disaster of the powerful 9.0-magnitude quake.
 
According to Wang, shallow-focus earthquakes occur at depths less than 60 km, medium-focus ones at depths between 60 km and 300 km, while deep-focus earthquakes happen at depths of above 300 km.
 
As a country with frequent earthquakes, Japan attaches great importance to the seismic resistance of buildings. The 7.3-magnitude quake did not cause a large number of buildings to collapse in places close to the epicenter, including Fukushima Prefecture.
 
The country has laws that require buildings to be earthquake-resistant, so that buildings that meet seismic standards are less likely to collapse during an earthquake. Meanwhile, most old and run-down houses had already been damaged in previous earthquakes.
 
In Japan, houses are mostly made of wood to make them anti-seismic, but such houses are poor in terms of fire proof and sound insulation. In the 2011 earthquake, while some 600 people died due to collapsed houses, many more houses were swept away by the ensuing tsunami.
 
By contrast, Saturday's quake did not trigger a tsunami, so there was little damage to buildings. According to local media, only about 240 people left their homes for shelters after the quake.
 
The JMA believed the latest quake was an aftershock of the devastating 2011 quake and urged the public to stay alert over the coming week or so, citing the likelihood of more tremors of a 
scale similar to that of Saturday's quake.
