【《We Chinese in America》Media Editor Tang Zhao, September 14, 2022】Per
More than 50 families took advantage of the services offered by the County, State, American Red Cross, and other non-governmental agencies. Residents who lost everything were able to get help with services such as debris removal and building permits to medical care services and help with pets and animals.
The American Red Cross provided survivor case management and assigned each a person to help walk them through the process of rebuilding.
“An event like this helps start the healing process after a disaster like a wildfire,” said County Emergency Services Director Jeff Toney. “It is a very stressful time for survivors, and we want to offer support to everyone who needs it. They could live on a property prone to debris and mudflow, so we can offer erosion control assistance. Others may need mental health resources.”
District 2 Supervisor Joel Anderson attended the Local Assistance Center to thank the staff and volunteers in person. The Supervisor was also briefed on the fire.
“I want to thank the County Office of Emergency Services for working with County staff and CAL FIRE to bring so many recovery resources for victims of the Border 32 fire who are going through such a difficult time after losing their homes,” said Supervisor Joel Anderson, who represents Dulzura and Potrero in District 2. “I would also like to thank all the state agencies and non-governmental organizations for volunteering their time to help this community recover from the Border 32 Fire. To anyone impacted by the fire, please do not hesitate to reach out to my office and we will do whatever we can to assist you.”
The County Department of Animal Services was also at the assistance center offering help and free food for pets affected by the fire. Animal Services officers helped evacuate and care for dozens of animals during the wildfire. The County shelter staff cared for common pets like dogs and cats, but also parrots, tortoises, horses, goats and pigs throughout the disaster.

【《We Chinese in America》Media Editor Tang Zhao, September 11, 2022】Geopolitical tensions, shutdown, and increased costs stirred Apple and other tech companies away from China. For a while now, it has been reported that Apple is diversifying its supply chain outside China. Reiterating those claims, a new report by The New York Times states that other tech companies like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft are also “slowly” shifting their production away from China, along with Apple.

The tech companies have found refuge in Vietnam, Malaysia, India, and Taiwan as alternatives to China to produce various electronic products.
But it’s not just smartphone production that is moving out the country. Apple is producing iPads in northern Vietnam. Microsoft has shipped Xbox game consoles this year from Ho Chi Minh City. Amazon has been making Fire TV devices in Chennai, India. Several years ago, all of these products were made in China.
As per the report, like Apple, other tech companies are also moving out of China because of three main reasons: geopolitical tensions, shutdowns, and an increase in labor costs.
The shift is a response to growing concerns about the geopolitical tensions and pandemic-induced supply chain disruptions that have involved China in the last few years.
American companies are seeing more risk there — a perspective forged during the Trump-era trade war, with its tit-for- tat tariffs, and cemented by China’s saber-rattling after Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan last month. They fear that basing a supply chain largely in China may thrust them into the middle of its escalating conflict with the United States over Taiwan.
Furthermore, the annual income of manufacturing workers in China has risen by 3x in the past 10 years crossing $9,300.
Having said that, manufacturing in China will not come to an end but will shrink because it is still “by far, the most dominant consumer electronics manufacturer.” Mehdi Hosseini, a financial analyst at Susquehanna International Group who focuses on the tech supply chain said that “we have a long way to go to have the whole supply chain diversified outside of China.”

【《We Chinese in America》Media Editor Tang Zhao, September 12, 2022】Awaiting Gov. Gavin Newsom’s signature is AB1705, a bill that would mostly ban remedial math and English classes, which can’t transfer with credit to four-year universities. If he signs the bill, it will affect more than 40 community colleges that continue to offer those classes five years after the state told them to allow students to bypass the courses. San Diego Miramar College is one of dozens of California's community colleges that still offer remedial classes, though it has reduced its offerings of those classes dramatically and faculty hope to soon eliminate them.(Photo credit: Phil Konstantin/Flickr)
Remedial classes across the state have already dwindled dramatically since the original law AB705 was adopted. This fall, 93% of introductory math courses across the state are transfer-level, up from 36% in 2017, according to the California Acceleration Project. Students have also been more successful: In fall 2020, 46% of first-time math students completed transfer-level math within one term, up from 24% in 2018, according to the Public Policy Institute of California. In most cases, students taking transfer-level classes have the opportunity to simultaneously enroll in co-requisite courses, which offer extra help with the transfer-level coursework.
San Diego Miramar College is hoping to get rid of two remedial courses of intermediate algebra that remain in its course catalog. Anne Gloag, chair of the college’s math department, said her department’s desire is to have zero remedial courses but continues to offer them to satisfy faculty elsewhere at the college. Some chemistry courses, for example, have intermediate algebra as a prerequisite.
“We want to develop a college-level math class alongside those departments that will fit their needs, but it’s a long process,” Gloag said.
Not every college offering remedial classes is as eager to get rid of them. Cuesta College in San Luis Obispo County this fall is offering four sections of intermediate algebra and applied algebra. The courses are meant for students pursuing a STEM degree who have been out of college for several years, said Jason Curtis, the college’s vice president of instruction.
The statewide faculty association is also concerned about students not having the option to take remedial classes if AB 1705 is enacted. Wendy Brill-Wynkoop, president of the faculty association, said she’s particularly concerned for older students who return to college and would be forced into transfer-level coursework that they may not be ready for.
Hetts, the executive vice chancellor for the community college system, said it’s his “strong expectation” that if AB 1705 is signed, the system will eliminate almost all remedial classes by fall 2023. Using the $64 million provided in this year’s budget, the colleges plan to spend the next year developing additional support for students taking transfer-level courses, such as more co-requisite classes and tutoring options, Hetts said.
“It’s time to finish this last leg of the race,” he said.

【《We Chinese in America》Media Editor Tang Zhao, September 10, 2022】Is the coronavirus on its way out? You might think so. New, updated booster shots are being rolled out to better protect against the variants circulating now. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has dropped COVID-19 quarantine and distancing recommendations. And more people have thrown off their masks and returned to pre-pandemic activities. (Photo Credit: CDC)
But scientists say the answer is no. They predict the scourge that’s already lasted longer than the 1918 flu pandemic will linger far into the future. One reason is that the coronavirus has gotten better and better at getting around immunity from vaccination and past infection.
