Team America talk a good game about building walls. In the meantime, Trump might have had the right idea but cannot pull it all together Perhaps the Trump might point to Yunnan 'success' as a model to use in 2024? I keep an eye on Pebble Mine (NAK) :0) scmp.com Chinese authorities take a leaf from the Trump playbook and ‘build the wall’ as part of Covid-19 curbs - The authorities in the southwestern province of Yunnan have been coordinating efforts to build new barriers along the frontier with Myanmar, Vietnam and Laos - As well as putting up new fences, a network of surveillance cameras and vigilante patrols are being used to stop illegal crossings ... “It’s equipped with motion and sound sensors and an artificial intelligence system to filter out the movements caused by wind, fallen trees or wild animals,” he said. “Once the sensors are triggered, the high-definition cameras with infrared capability will automatically turn to the source to allow the control centres to further check.” “If illegal activity is found, the vigilante patrol team, or local police or armed police team will be notified to start a search” said Ding, who is now patrolling areas near the Jiegao bridge, a major crossing between China and Myanmar. But another Ruili resident, a Covid-19 community volunteer surnamed Xiao, said the authorities had built two sections of steel wall, but admitted they “cannot stop all the illegal entries, because people can use a ladder or dig a hole and then cross over into Chinese territory”. Xiao said patrolling the borders was hard work, as the patrols had to deal with tough terrain, hot weather, heavy rains and the risk from local wildlife such as snakes. So far the authorities have reported some successes. Yunnan Daily reported in late March that Nansan town, which borders Myanmar’s Kokang region, has caught and repatriated more than 5,000 people for crossing the border illegally.
