BREAKING: China Nuclear Plant Leak Near Hong Kong, US Now Investigating

The US is now investigating reports of a massive spike in radiation levels at China’s Taishan nuclear power plant facility.

A French energy company which co-operates the power plant has warned of an “imminent radiological threat” due to suspected “performance issues” at the plant, and is requesting immediate technical assistance.

Rather than shut down the Taishan plant and the residential areas surrounding it, it has been reported that Chinese regulatory authorities temporarily increased the allowable limits for radiation detection in order to effect a full shut-down.

So, they literally raised the bar, rather than shut down due to a spike in radiation levels. Such care for their own people! No wonder they took a month to tell us in the West everything they knew about COVID19 at the time — they don’t care about their own citizenry, why would they care about foreigners’ well-being?

May you live in interesting times! (in all seriousness, though, readers in China please stay safe! And pay attention to this one.)
