As a new round of covid epidemic continues to ferment in Beijing, China, some netizens report that some people have bought and sold Beijing’s nucleic acid test quotas on Weibo, claiming that they can take it within 1 to 2 days. Subsequently, the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau claimed to have detained the four persons involved. Some Weibo netizens questioned, if these people are not scams but trading, who opened the channel?

In the afternoon of June 25, local time, Pan Xuhong, a spokesman for the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, notified a case of the sale of nucleic acid testing quotas at the epidemic briefing.

Pan Xuhong said that the police received a report from the public on 23 June, alleging that someone posted a post on Weibo to publicly sell the quota for Beijing nucleic acid testing. After receiving the report, the police captured Yan Moutong (male, 23 years old) who posted relevant information on Weibo. Then according to Yan Mou's confession, the police captured Bai Mouyu (male, 24 years old) who was "on the line".

After investigation, Bai Mouyu was an employee of a certain bar, and the manager of the bar Wan Moutao (male, 37 years old) organized subordinate employees to set up a WeChat “nucleic acid detection group”. Together with Yanmou and others, they posted messages on the Internet to solicit customers, claiming that Urgently handle nucleic acid testing and quickly obtain results, profit from it. At present, the police have seized a total of 9 persons involved in the case, and four of them, including Yan, have been punished for administrative detention. Other persons involved and the circumstances of the case are still under investigation.

A Chinese netizen posted an analysis and pointed out that due to the outbreak of the new epidemic, the Beijing government issued a policy requiring people who want to leave Beijing to show a negative nucleic acid test certificate within 7 days. There is news that many people have already scheduled their testing appointments after 3 months, so for those eager to leave Beijing, the lack of timely access to nucleic acid testing becomes a major problem, which has spawned this use of contacts, relationships or power black box operations to earn extra profitable events.

In response, some netizens commented and marveled, "This can also be bought????? It really can never stop the development of human wisdom in the bad direction." Some netizens pointed out: "This kind of money should be earned, and the black heart is not the black heart, should be severely punished!"

Some netizens took the opportunity to satirize the CCP's so-called market economy rhetoric, commenting, "The most powerful country (referring to China) is the most market-oriented, and I am the first to disagree with the powerful country's market economy status."

Some netizens also posted a question: If those people who buy and sell nucleic acid testing places can really give the test results quickly, then "Who opened this channel?"
