An online signature campaign is going on to request the White House to pressurize China Communist Party to release Fang Bin and Wuhan reporter Chen Qiushi.

On 22 February 2020, 61 international scholars wrote an open letter to Xi Jinping, demanding the release of innocent arrested citizens such as Xu Zhiyong and Ding Jiaxi, and forever eradicate the bad events that suppress freedom of speech.

The open letter said that the loss of freedom of speech caused China ’s early warning mechanism to be ineffective, the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak to spread, causing an extremely catastrophic disaster, and the disaster has provoked public outrage and loss of dignity.

Chinese researcher Zhang Jian said that the development of COVID-19 today has awakened more people and realized how important freedom of speech is.

Zhang Jian, a researcher on Chinese issues, said, "The China Communist Party (CCP) has restrained all freedom of speech and made ordinary people become its slaves. More people have become slaves. They are forced to praise this dictatorship and praise a terrorist organization. As this evil behavior spreads in mainland China, you can feel that thousands of families have been destroyed in this plague. "

Zhang Jian said that the pneumonia virus is terrible. The CCP concealed the epidemic and caused the virus to spread rapidly around the world, damaging everyone's life and rights, and its harm is even greater than that of SARS-CoV-2. 

Current political commentator Zheng Haochang said, "The common people in China do not have freedom of speech. The root cause is in the system. Even if Xi Jinping temporarily ordered that part of the release of freedom of speech be temporarily free, at most, it will only have temporary and partial effects. The evil mechanism will soon close the mouth of the people again, so to really solve the problem, it is necessary for the Communist Party of China to completely fail in its evil mouth-guard machine. "

The Chinese police have arrested Ding Jiaxi and other activist lawyers and citizens since the end of December last year. Xu Zhiyong, who has been avoiding the pursuit of the authorities, denounced the CCP's scourge on China, which led to a comprehensive retrogression in economy, people's livelihood, the rule of law, and speech. In the evening of 15 February 2020, Xu Zhiyong was arrested by the authorities in Guangzhou.
