Boao Lecheng: A Miraculous Pioneer of Asian High-end Medical Tourism

HAIKOU, China, Feb. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Recently, Boao Super Hospital performed an operation of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in conjunction with the use of the TriGUARD3TM Cerebral Embolic Protection Device (hereafter referred to as TriGUARD3). This is the first clinical application of TriGUARD3 in Asia, marking a milestone in the field of cardiovascular surgery.

…

In addition to sunshine, beaches and duty-free shopping, Hainan Free Trade Port is also trying to develop a medical tourism form. Located in Boao Town, Hainan Province, Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone (hereafter referred to as the Pilot Zone) is built with high-end medical tourism service and international cutting-edge medical science and technology achievements. It will become an emerging destination for Asian tourist to experience high-end medical tourism.

Since last year, the Pilot Zone has set up «the Never End International Innovative Medicine Equipment Exhibition», bringing down drug costs while importing synchronously latest pharmaceutical equipment across the world. For example, the surgery cost of 1 franchised Boston Type I artificial cornea and 1 franchised Boston Type II artificial cornea operated overseas is USD 124,000, over four times higher than that in the Pilot Zone.

Moreover, patients can experience traditional Chinese medicine therapy in the Pilot Zone. For thousands of years, traditional Chinese medicine has been reputed for its moderate curative effects and slight side effects. Natalia, a tourist from Ukraine, expressed: «All the Chinese traditional medicines are made from natural materials, which is significantly different from Western medicine.»

Last November, the first Asia Advance International Medical Centre from Singapore has opened in the Zone. Gathering international medical experts from Singapore, Korea and the UK, the Center provides diagnosis and treatment services for patients from the Chinese mainland and other neighboring countries. Currently, tourists from 59 countries, including those in Southeast Asia, can come to Hainan for a 30-day stay without visas. By 2030, a world-class destination for medical tourism will be built in the Pilot Zone, providing all-round services such as anti-cancer, plastic surgery, anti-aging, rehabilitation, and health management.

Americans Gave Up Citizenship in Record Numbers in 2020, Up Triple From 2019, Reports Tax Specialists Americans Overseas

AMSTERDAM, Feb. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — 2020 was a record year for Americans giving up their citizenship, according to the experts and tax specialists of Americans Overseas.

A record 6,705 Americans gave up their citizenship in 2020

AMSTERDAM, Feb. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — 2020 was a record year for Americans giving up their citizenship, according to the experts and tax specialists of Americans Overseas.

A record 6,705 Americans gave up their citizenship in 2020
A 260% increase from 2019 when 2,577 Americans gave up their citizenship
Renunciations triple despite U.S. consulates being closed for large parts of the year due to COVID-19
This is the highest year on record; the previous record was 5,411 cases in 2016

There are an estimated 9 million U.S. Americans living overseas. Every three months the U.S. Government publishes the names of all Americans under the IRS rules (section 6039g), who give up their citizenship. 2020 saw 6,705 Americans renounce their citizenship, 260% more than 2019 when 2,577 Americans renounced. This number possibly would have been higher if U.S. Embassies worldwide had not been closed for large parts of the year due to COVID-19 regulations. If this trend continues 2021 renunciation numbers will be record-breaking.

Surprisingly enough, it’s not only politics that drive renunciations but also a law called Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA). This law forces banks outside the U.S. to report all American account holders under threat of astronomical fines. Banks now want to rid themselves of U.S. clients as they pose a liability. Many Americans living outside the U.S. are therefore forced to renounce and provide a Certificate of Loss of Nationality (CLN) to keep their banking services.

U.S. citizens that renounce must pay a $2,350 government fee and appear in person at the U.S. Embassy in their country of residence. In addition, a complete tax return must be filed and exit tax might be owed. Despite these obligations, there has been a growing trend of U.S. citizens renouncing.

«A law intended to catch tax evaders inside the U.S. is now dragging innocent Americans living outside the U.S. down. Lobbying efforts by the EU have so far not led to any change in policy by the U.S.,» says Daan Durlacher, partner at Americans Overseas.

«The onerous and costly tax reporting obligations also play a big role. People with a U.S. citizenship or Greencard must file their taxes regardless of where they live in the world every year. They also need to report every single bank account (FBAR), even if they are only authorized to sign, which feels intrusive for many.»

Ironically, the U.S. stimulus checks of $1,200 + $600 are also being used towards the cost of renouncing – a difficult, irreversible decision with a profound impact on an individual’s life, especially in these difficult, special times.

Americans Overseas spoke to U.S. citizens worldwide who are looking to renounce their citizenship, and expects a huge increase again when the U.S. embassies open up again full time.

U.S. Journalists Laud Lawmakers’ Efforts for Press Freedom

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — America’s leading professional organization for journalists applauded on Thursday efforts by U.S. lawmakers to advance press freedom.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — America’s leading professional organization for journalists applauded on Thursday efforts by U.S. lawmakers to advance press freedom.

Legislation filed in the House Thursday would bar foreign aid for government entities that the U.S. government determines to have egregiously violated journalists’ human rights, and it would require sanctions on individuals who participated in such acts.

The bill, named «The Jamal Khashoggi Press Freedom Accountability Act of 2021,» was authored in the House by Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif. A companion measure was offered in the Senate last year by Democratic Sens. Patrick J. Leahy of Vermont and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota. Khashoggi, a Saudi Arabian Washington Post columnist, was killed in October 2018 in Turkey by agents of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Meanwhile, a separate bill unveiled in the Senate on Thursday would direct the U.S. State Department to establish an ambassador-at-large for press freedom and train foreign-service officers on how to promote media independence and protect foreign journalists. The bill, «The Global Press Freedom Act,» was written by Sens. Todd Young, an Indiana Republican, and Brian Schatz, a Hawaii Democrat.

In 2020, 21 journalists were killed because they reported the news, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. Several other indicators of press independence and safety have shown declines of late.

National Press Club President Lisa Nicole Matthews and NPC Journalism Institute President Angela Greiling Keane issued the following statement:

«Every year, dozens of journalists worldwide are either killed or attacked, and the 2018 murder of Jamal Khashoggi was one of the more horrific examples of this unacceptable phenomenon. We applaud any effort that would serve justice in cases where journalists are killed or otherwise grossly abused or that would promote global press freedom.»

The National Press Club, founded in 1908, is the world’s Leading Professional Organization for Journalists™ with nearly 3,000 members worldwide. The Club is a strong voice for press freedom abroad and at home.

The National Press Club Journalism Institute, the Club’s non-profit affiliate, promotes an engaged global citizenry through an independent and free press and equips journalists with skills and standards to inform the public in ways that inspire civic engagement.
