China has lashed out at the U.S. for urging its consulate staff to leave Shanghai

The financial hub is currently locked down as officials deal with the spread of coronavirus, which is in line with China’s COVID-zero strategy.

But officials say the U.S. is weaponising its attempts to contain the virus entirely.

China’s Foreign Ministry says it “firmly opposes” the order.

“We express strong dissatisfaction with the politicisation and weaponisation of evacuations by the U.S.”
ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian

On Monday. the U.S. State Department ordered all non-emergency employees and their families to leave the city of 25 million.

Meanwhile. a U.S. travel advisory is also calling for Americans to “reconsider travel” to all parts of China because of the strict COVID measures.

China’s most populous city has been under lockdown for weeks, with many residents unable to access basic essentials including medical care and food.

Locals have taken to their apartments to vent their frustration at the situation.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
