The 20-year-old winger enjoyed something of a breakout season in 2017-18, playing 36 league games and scoring six goals. Although he burst onto the scene in the previous campaign with 27 Serie A appearances, it was in this term that he found consistency and started to become a regular option for the senior Italy side, featuring three times for his country.

Is this a good thing? Visitors to such places insist they are gaining insight and valuable historical knowledge. But critics worry that packaging horror distorts such events. “Auschwitz has been altered so that tours end up at a crematorium that was actually located in a completely different place,” notes Lennon. “Viet Cong tunnels in Vietnam have been widened to accommodate American tourists.” Most hardship holidaymakers are Westerners who have already seen much of the world....

High and middle-income countries make up more than half of all reported coronavirus fatalities, according to the tally by Johns Hopkins University. The U.S. alone has recorded more than 748,000 lives lost since the virus emerged almost two years ago. Experts dispute the official figure, however, saying it does not reflect the true death toll, particularly in countries with massive populations such as India and China. “It’s difficult to know how much higher, but certainly possible that it is two or three times higher than the number of deaths we know about,” Amber D’Souza, a professor of epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, told Newsweek....

Chinese Communist Party tabloid the Global Times was critical of “foreign media outlets” which carried illustrations said to be of the People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) long-range strategic bomber H-20. The images showed a dark gray aircraft that looked to have been heavily inspired by the United States Air Force’s B-2 Spirit heavy stealth bomber. Multiple reports appeared Wednesday after Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post (SCMP) said the images—originating in military magazine Modern Weaponry—were of the elusive H-20, which is thought to have been in development for a number of years....

RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - A scarcity of gold medals in the first few days of the Olympics is leading China to reflect on its past obsession with finishing first, amid agreement that being champion is no longer everything. The country, which four years ago finished second in the medal table to the United States with 38 golds, ended the first day of the Olympics without a single triumph and has had to settle for silver and bronze in such events as swimming, shooting and gymnastics which it dominated at previous games....

The widely read post, scrubbed a day after being published on November 22, included a rhetorical question about the FIFA World Cup, which had opened in Qatar the weekend before. Comparing jubilant, maskless soccer fans with the millions of Chinese living in lockdown, the author asked whether China was “even on the same planet.” Longtime China watchers told Newsweek that the tournament might have played some role in pushing the Chinese public’s frustrations over the edge; others said its influence on the country’s pent-up sports fans was overblown....

In an unsigned editorial on Tuesday, state-owned tabloid Global Times called the Chinese countermeasures “justified and timely.” “Through a swift counterattack, China manifested that any act that violates its interests or interferes in its internal affairs will be resolutely pushed back,” the newspaper wrote. “We have the will and tools to retaliate.” The EU sanctioned four individuals linked to Beijing’s policies in China’s northwestern region of Xinjiang, where United Nations rights experts say at least 1 million Uyghurs and other predominantly Muslim minorities have been detained against their will or subjected to forced labor....

China has reported a stunning turnaround in its coronavirus fight, greatly slowing new infections and subsequently being able to lift the tight restrictions that appear to have largely defeated the virus. But the international community remains skeptical of China’s success, and leaders—including President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo—have suggested that Beijing is not being entirely transparent about the number of people infected and the number who died....
