UK to purge Huawei from 5G by 2027, angering China and pleasing Trump

Not entirely supprising consider the domestic political climate and the pressure from the US. A compromise or U-turn Boris has to make.

1. The incompetency exposed in handling the Covid-19 pandemic. The need to reform NHS and drastically improve the cooridination among the dept of Health, PHE and NHS.

2. Reform the civil service system advocated by Domminic Cummings. One sign is the resignation of the top civil servant Mark Sedwill.

3. BREXIT and trade deal with the US.

4. National security law in HK. Both HSBC and Standard Chartered succumb to the pressure from the mainland.

The decision is a retaliation for #4 and a tradeoff  to the opposition within the Conservatives.

Day 118

11/07/2020 Saturday, Cloudy For the 2nd time since lockdown, we got out of the house and went to the park as a family. Sean and I played table tennis there, while Lili jogged around the tennis court. Later we walked around the reservoir and came home from the high street. Though we've lived here for 5 years, it's the first time we walked around it. It's near 3 miles and we ended up exhausted.

Day 128

21/07/2020 Tuesday, Cloudy Sean is grounded for a whole day today. No screen time at all. Suprisingly he did well and repaired the relationship with his mum. Without computer, iPad or TV, he played piano, learnt Chinese and played TT. The only thing missed is the math exercise. Without anybody being grumpy, it's happy family again.
