US Airlines Ask Biden To Block Flights to China
The US aviation industry has asked the Biden administration to pause approval of additional flights to and from China, saying Beijing’s "existing harmful anti-competitive policies" hurt American airlines and workers.
The letter said, "If the growth of the Chinese aviation market is allowed to continue unchecked and without concern for equality of access in the market, flights will continue to be relinquished to Chinese carriers at the expense of US workers and businesses."
China's Foreign Ministry said on Friday that increasing direct flights was the "consensus reached" when Chinese leader Xi Jinping and US President Joe Biden met in San Francisco in November.

Moderna Pauses Kenya Vaccine Plant
Moderna announced Thursday it had paused its plans to build a vaccine manufacturing plant in Kenya, due to a post-pandemic decline in demand for Covid-19 vaccines.
The company is currently developing mRNA vaccines for HIV and malaria.
"Given this, and in alignment with our strategic planning, Moderna believes it is prudent to pause its efforts to build an mRNA manufacturing facility in Kenya," Moderna said.
"This approach will allow Moderna to better align its infrastructure investments with the evolving healthcare needs and vaccine demand in Africa," it continued.
In 2022, the company had announced it was investing $500 million in the facility in Kenya, and it would supply 500 million doses of the mRNA vaccines to Africa.
Moderna said it lost more than $1 billion related to the cancelation of orders from Africa.

German Parliament Votes To Legalize Gender And Name Changes
German lawmakers on Friday approved legislation that will make it easier for transgender, intersex, and nonbinary people to change their name and gender on official records.
The "self-determination law," one of several social reforms that Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s liberal-leaning coalition government pledged when it took office in late 2021, is set to take effect on Nov. 1.
The German legislation will allow adults to change their first name and legal gender at registry offices without further formalities. They will have to notify the office three months before making the change.
Right after the country's gone to pot?
