#3> There is a phrase in China for the way such tensions are manifested: when everyone denies all responsibility and tries to shift the blame back onto the blamer, they are busy ‘throwing woks’.
I appreciate learning idioms of countries foreign to me, and in this case it makes for a great article.

On the first day back to school, DingTalk saw over 50 million students and 600,000 teachers in China using its live-streaming feature to hold online classes.
OMG! Their infrastructure team must be so proud, I can't imagine the app saw even a one-hundrenth of that much traffic before then.

#10Expecting local officials to deal effectively with extraordinary circumstances is unrealistic. A wealthy populous nation should be able to support a team of national experts to assist in times and places of particular need, in a variety of fields including that of infectious disease. The system described in TFA seems rather more like a struggle among competing cults of personality. "Your mayor sucks! Now you will be ruled by our super-mayor!" "Does he know a single thing about health?" "Who knows?! Who cares!? He has a take-charge personality!"
