Anaheim and Pudong have a \u201cfriendly city\u201d relationship, though are not full-fledged sister cities.<br \/>\nLarsen explained he was shocked by the commission\u2019s consideration with a Chinese city, given how the CCP had lied for weeks regarding having the virus before notifying the World Health Organization.<br \/>\n\u201cI am stunned that anybody in Anaheim would consider such a thing,\u201d Larsen stated.<br \/>\nThroughout the Feb. 22 meeting, commissioner Dara Maleki announced: \u201cI don\u2019t know who our bigger enemy is\u2014foreign or the domestic. We\u2019ve got a pandemic; we\u2019ve got a serious virus.\u201d<br \/>\nSaid Larsen: \u201cIt\u2019s called the China Virus. The City of Anaheim is in the tank, and we\u2019re going to invite them into our house?\u201d 'CATCH AND RELEASE' MEANS DESTRUCTION FOR THESE COUNTIES<br \/>\nChair Taline Cole added: \u201cLarry, I\u2019m going to stop you there. This isn\u2019t the place to have political conversations.\u201d<br \/>\nLarsen shot back: \u201cI\u2019m blown away that this city has taken that invite from China. And now we\u2019re going to smack happy with these people? I\u2019m absolutely stunned.\u201d<br \/>\nCommissioner Dara Maleki stated that the commission chooses sister cities based upon similar industries, like the Disney Resort.<\/p>\n<p>This data comes from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaintel.asia\/\" title=\"MediaIntel.Asia provides Media Intelligence and Media Monitoring in Asia\" >MediaIntel.Asia's Media Intelligence and Media Monitoring Platform<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>California Now Firing Those Who oppose China 07:00<br \/>\nAnaheim city council stripped a commissioner of his title for remarks he made after declining to partner with a Chinese city.<br \/>\nCouncil unanimously voted to remove Larry Larson\u2019s commissioner status fro&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":253,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[639,144,1012,393,586,288,194,401,296],"tags":[10424,3472,10321,10328,2821],"class_list":["post-101478","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-california","category-china","category-communism","category-disney","category-economy","category-medicine","category-news-chinese-law","category-shanghai","category-world-health-organization","tag-china-general-news","tag-chinese","tag-communist","tag-pandemic","tag-pudong"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chinalegalblog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101478","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chinalegalblog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chinalegalblog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chinalegalblog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/253"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chinalegalblog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=101478"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.chinalegalblog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101478\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":101479,"href":"https:\/\/www.chinalegalblog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101478\/revisions\/101479"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chinalegalblog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=101478"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chinalegalblog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=101478"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chinalegalblog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=101478"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
