Yan Limeng : SARS-CoV-2 is man modified bat coronavirus

Report by : Gan Yung Chyan
                  / KUCINTA SETIA


On 31 July 2020, Guo Media posted an extract of Dr Yan Limeng's interview on 30 July 2020 in Steve Bannon's War Room Pandemic on YouTube. In this extract, Yan Limeng revealed that SARS-CoV-2 is a man-modified coronavirus based on a natural bat coronavirus.

Yan Limeng said SARS-CoV-2 is man modified coronavirus. The novel coronavirus is modified from the Zhoushan bat coronavirus discovered by People's Liberation Army (PLA). It is not totally man-made from the early beginning. She revealed that she understood it since 16 January 2020 when she was investigating the coronavirus in the WHO P3 laboratory in Hong Kong secretly for the second time and had harvested and analyzed all the intelligence and information obtained from Beijing CDC and her network of friends in China CDC.

Yan Limeng added that in the NIH genome database one can see that the covid's origin of SARS-CoV-2 is the PLA's Zhoushan bat coronavirus and this is a very solid evidence after analyzing and comparing the important segments and the proteins between theses virus. This is like a fingerprint which is solid evidence that there is some modified laboratory process involved before the coronavirus became SARS-CoV-2. She asserted that Beijing CDC knew about community spread, human to human transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and man modified nature of the coronavirus.

In response, Steve Bannon stressed that if Beijing CDC had been truthful to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the world about the true nature of SARS-CoV-2, 95% of the world's deaths and economic destruction could have been avoided. He reiterated that the world must demand they (Beijing CDC) open investigation opportunities to the top virologist and epidemiologist to enter the Wuhan virus laboratory to find out every detail about this.

Steve Bannon emphasized that the CCP coronavirus cover-up is total and complete outrage to the US and the world. The US cannot sit back on her heels and allow the cover-up to continue. It is everyone's responsibility to step up for every citizen of US, China and the rest of the world to demand answers and to break CCP if they do not give the world the truth.

Vietnam Airlines brought back 219 covid patients from Equatorial Guinea

According to the Vietnam News Agency (VNA) on 30 July 2020, Hanoi has imported 219 covid cases from Equatorial Guinea. These cases are Vietnamese work permit holders in Equatorial Guinea.

Vietnam Airlines cooperated with the Vietnam Embassy in Angola (accredited to Equatorial Guinea) to arrange the relief flight to Malabo, the capital of Equatorial Guinea, from Hanoi via Paris on 26 July 2020. The outbound flight for Hanoi from Malabo via Paris using its Airbus A350XWB aircraft took off on 28 July 2020 and arrived in Hanoi on 29 July 2020.

The Vietnamese passengers and crew of the relief flight are under quarantine treatment at the National Hospital of Tropical Diseases in Dong Anh District, Hanoi.

As of 31 July 2020, Vietnam has reported a total of 509 confirmed covid cases with additions of 45 new covid cases in Danang and five more covid cases in Quang Nam. 369 cases have recovered and discharged while 53,760 people are under quarantine in health centres or at home. One death from Danang is reported.

According to VNA, the relevant authorities are collecting 10,000 samples from residents of Danang for virus testing. The preliminary research by medical experts found that the strains of SARS-CoV-2 that appeared in Danang and Quang Nam Province this time are strains that have not appeared in Vietnam before and have mutated. These strains are more aggressive than previously known coronaviruses in Vietnam, and their rapid proliferation speed can make infected patients quickly enter a severe state.

Nguyen Thanh Long, the Acting Minister of the Ministry of Health of Vietnam, told the media that the source of infection in the new cases has not yet been identified but it has been found that the virus genome has changed and its transmission power has increased significantly.

Todd Pollack, an infectious disease expert at Harvard Medical School who is conducting medical plans in Vietnam, believes that this new strain may have been brought into Vietnam by illegal immigrants, or it may be the result of the virus mutated in a hospital in Danang. 

Prior to this, the Vietnamese authorities had released information on 26 July that dozens of Chinese nationals sneaking illegally into Vietnam were arrested in Danang and neighboring provinces this month. Although the authorities did not clearly identify that the new outbreak is related to smugglers, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has ordered a thorough investigation of smugglers at the border and strengthened border patrols by setting up 146 round-the-clock checkpoints. Therefore, Vietnamese people believe that the new wave of epidemic is related to this, and local anti-PRC sentiment has rapidly increased as a result.

The Vietnamese authorities have evacuated 80,000 tourists and ordered that from 28 July, Danang implement social distancing measures and block Danang’s external land and air traffic for 15 days.

Former CCP Navy Lieutenant Colonel: The CCP destroyed in a day

Reporter : Han Mei
Editor : Yuan Mingqing
Publisher : Sound Of Hope
Direct translation


 After the United States declared all the CCP’s claims in the South China Sea illegal, it conducted a dual aircraft carrier exercise in the South China Sea. This is considered a US Indo-Pacific strategy Part of this, combined with the speech by US Secretary of State Pompeo last week challenging the legitimacy of the CCP’s rule, the United States is joining forces with its allies to launch a counterattack against the CCP. In this regard, former CCP Navy Command Lieutenant Colonel Yao Cheng analyzed that the United States has clearly seen the true face of the CCP, and the two sides are engaged in confrontation between democratic and free values ​​and an autocratic dictatorship. If this confrontation manifests itself in the form of a military conflict in the South China Sea, the CCP will quickly collapse.

In a recent interview with Epoch Times, Yao Cheng analyzed Pompeo’s policy speech at the Nixon Presidential Library on July 23, saying that Pompeo has already shown that if the CCP does not change, it will change the Western world, but judging from the current situation. , The CCP has no signs of change and the possibility of change, so the confrontation between China and the United States is probably inevitable. If the confrontation occurs in the South China Sea, it will be a naval and air force confrontation: "China’s naval and air forces, It’s not as good as the US military. It is estimated that in less than a day, the US military’s F35 (fighter aircraft) can destroy the CCP’s navy and air force."

In the event of conflict in the South China Sea, apart from the involvement of Japan and Australia, which are members of the US Indo-Pacific strategy, ASEAN countries that have territorial water disputes in the South China Sea will also choose allies. Yao Cheng believes that all ASEAN countries should support the U.S., and different countries can play different roles. They do not necessarily have to participate in the war. For example, Vietnam can provide the U.S. military with good ports and aircraft takeoff and landing points: "Vietnam also  really does not want to be controlled under the influence of CCP. The Vietnamese military has publicly lent the base to the U.S. military for use. That will be a major guarantee for the U.S. military's replenishment and logistics."

As for the CCP, Yao Cheng believes that because it has no advantage in the South China Sea conflict, the CCP may launch an attack on Taiwan in an attempt to divert the attention of the US military and move the battlefield to the Taiwan Strait.

As far as he knows, the CCP’s exercise at Tangshan Port in May 2020 was to simulate the landing of Tamsui, Taipei. Because Tamsui has a large landing pad, it can allow army tanks to log in and capture Taipei directly from the land. In addition, the air force planes cooperate in combat. The CCP army can quickly capture Taipei; the CCP announced on June 28 that the reserve (militia) is under the direct command of the Central Military Commission. This means that the CCP can recruit all civilian fishing boats and is ready to attack Taiwan. The CCP military is targeting the South China Sea. The military exercises on the Dongsha Islands are actually preparations for the occupation of Taiwan’s outer islands.

He said, "The ultimate goal of the CCP's war is to reunify and occupy Taiwan, so it will not use missiles. The military will take a few steps. First take the outer islands, take down Taipei and Kaohsiung, and then use pro-communists to rule Taiwan. ."

However, Yao Cheng believes that the CCP will not be able to win a war. According to his analysis, people in the CCP's army are panic, and it is difficult to say whether the high-level leaders can mobilize the army.

According to Yao Cheng’s line report, many CCP soldiers do not want to be buried with the CCP. All factions within the military are observing the situation and may not cooperate with the CCP’s Central Committee. "If there is a fight, the military may rebel. In 2017, Xi Jinping disrupted. The military system has formed a current situation of restraining each other, but the military internal fighting has never stopped."


Before his death, Lee Teng-hui warned the people that "Communism is a lie"

Former President of the Republic of China Lee Teng-hui passed away at the Taipei Veterans General Hospital on the evening of July 30, at the age of 97. Lee Teng-hui was the first elected president of the Republic of China. He warned the people that "Communism is a lie" and was an excuse for the Communist Party to gain power and deceive the people. He publicly stated that to see the true face of the CCP, he must read the "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party." Before his death, Lee Teng-hui rarely commented on Xi Jinping and asserted that it is difficult for Xi to become a world leader.

Lee Teng-hui actively promotes democratic elections

Li Denghui was born in 1923 and his ancestral home was a Hakka in Yongding, Fujian. He was a Ph.D. from Cornell University in the United States. He was favored by Jiang Jingguo and entered politics. In 1988, Chiang Ching-kuo died during the presidency, and Lee Teng-hui succeeded him as the president.

After that, Lee Teng-hui actively promoted direct presidential elections and became the first directly elected president in the history of the Republic of China in 1996. His term of office expired on May 19, 2000. He is known as the pioneer of Taiwan's democracy. He is called "Mr. Democracy" internationally, saying that he completed the democratization of Taiwan without civil war or coup, which is rare in the world.

Lee Teng-hui: Communism is a lie

When he was young, Lee Teng-hui once studied the "Das Kapital" by Marx, the founder of communism, and joined the Communist Party for a time. But he later discovered that communism was deceiving, "the relationship between workers and capitalists is not what (Marx) said", so he gave up communism.

Lee Teng-hui obtained a postdoctoral degree in agricultural economics from Cornell University in the United States and returned to Taiwan and joined the KMT.

In an interview with the BBC in 2014, Lee Teng-hui said, “Communism is a lie.” The purpose of the Communist Party’s governance is not to overthrow the capitalist system, but to seize power and deceive the people.

Lee Teng-hui particularly emphasized the power of faith. He said: "Chinese people should start with faith and human rights, practice faith, allow individuals to be free, and pursue the universal value of human rights. Only in this way can China experience a qualitative change from autocracy to democracy. Changes; and China’s democratization and the quality of future democracy depend on the beliefs and ideals of the ruling and opposition parties and the general public who promote democratization."

Lee Teng-hui rarely evaluates Xi Jinping

During the interview, Lee Tenghui rarely commented on Xi Jinping. He did not believe that Xi Jinping can lead China to democracy. "Xi Jinping does not have this foundation."

In May 2014, Lee Tenghui held a meeting with students at Soochow University. He bluntly stated that "Xi Jinping may be more ambitious than Mao Zedong." He does not agree with Xi Zhong's Maoist line.

Lee Teng-hui asserted at the time that as far as he observed, Xi Jinping wanted the more power as possible, and had the ambition to fight for world leadership with the United States. However, if the complex issues within mainland China are not resolved, it would be difficult to become a world leader.


He pointed out that the biggest problem in Mainland China is that there is no freedom of thought, freedom, or religion, and there is a big gap between it and democratic countries.

In 2018, the CCP passed a constitutional amendment, and Xi Jinping became the "lifetime chairman." According to a report by the Central News Agency, Lee Teng-hui said that Xi Jinping’s absolute power is in his hands and he does not know what to do. Under such circumstances, it is very important to promote Taiwan’s membership in the United Nations.

Lee Teng-hui praised the "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party" as the source of real peace

Lee Teng-hui spoke highly of the book "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party" during his lifetime. After the publication of the Epoch Times editorial "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party" in November 2004, Lee Tenghui has recommended the "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party" to the public many times in public.

He said that to see the CCP clearly, one must read the "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party." This series of editorials is the source of true peace.


On April 21, 2005, at a press conference on "Facing the Urgent National Crisis-Resolutely Opposing Lien and Soong’s Landing and Visit" jointly held by 100 local organizations in Taiwan, Lee Teng-hui held up the book "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party" and said that this book brought the CCP The problem is very clear. "(The Chinese Communist Party) these things have caused many people to withdraw from the Communist Party after they were known.

On May 8th of the same year, Lee Teng-hui hosted a series of forums "Facing an Urgent National Crisis-National Mobilization to Prevent the Joint Selling of Lien and Soong Unions" at the Tainan Social Education Center. He once again stated that to see the true face of the CCP, one must read the "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party."

On November 2 of the same year, Lee Teng-hui wrote a letter to Japan Broad Corporation in Japanese, praising the "Nine Commentaries of the Communist Party" as the source of real peace, and highly praised the "Nine Commentaries of the Communist Party", and its retreat from the CCP. People who dared to withdraw from the CCP in the party trend.

Study : Tall people are more likely to be infected with SARS-CoV-2

A new study shows that people taller than six feet are twice as likely to be infected with SARS-CoV-2 than others. Researchers say this means that droplets are not the only virus transmission channel. 

The study is the result of a survey of approximately 2,000 patients in the United States and the United Kingdom. The researchers initially planned to find the relationship between personal traits, work and life habits and infection with the virus, and the final results showed that the taller people are, the greater the risk of illness.

Researchers believe that this result may indicate that SARS-CoV-2 is not only spread by droplets, the height of tall people plays another factor in the high prevalence.

As for why tall people are more likely to be infected, the study did not give a reason, but said that this result confirmed that the virus may be spread through aerosols.

After being mixed with aerosol, the virus can be suspended in the air and will not fall easily. Even if social distance is maintained, it is difficult to avoid infection, especially in a closed environment with poor ventilation.

For this reason, experts said that people must wear airtight, high-quality masks when going out. At the same time, washing hands frequently and going to spaces with large or semi-enclosed traffic as little as possible can also effectively prevent the epidemic.

Yan Limeng : CCP lab made SARS-CoV-2 and forged genome sequence to divert attention

Report by : Gan Yung Chyan
                 / KUCINTA SETIA




Former Hong Kong University virology expert Yan Limeng went into exile in the United States and began to publicly expose the truth about SARS-CoV-2. When she was interviewed on War Room Pandemic again on 29 July 2020, she said that the coronavirus came from a CCP’s military laboratory. In order to conceal the truth, the CCP also dished out fake virus sequences to deceive the international community. Shi Zhengli also announced the RaTG13 sequence to divert attention.

Yan Limeng said in an interview with former White House strategist Steve Bannon at his War Room studio that SARS-CoV-2 was developed based on a bat coronavirus, which is an enhanced version of the SARS virus. She found through genetic comparison that the closest thing to SARS-CoV-2 is the Zhoushan bat coronavirus that the CCP military has already mastered.

She also mentioned that because scientists can find a lot of evidence from the virus genome, the CCP initially tried to postpone the release of the coronavirus genome in order to cover up the truth, and later uploaded the wrong genome sequence to the US National Institute of Health database on 12 January 2020 to mislead the overseas medical community.

Yan Limeng said that after she anonymously disclosed the relationship between SARS-CoV-2 and Zhoushan bat coronavirus through the Lu De Agency Youtube channel, Shi Zhengli, a researcher at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, soon submitted a paper to the journal Nature and published a RaTG13 bat virus genome. Then the CCP manipulated the medical community and overseas public opinion to direct public attention to this RaTG13, and on this basis, further misled public opinion and concealed the true source of SARS-CoV-2.

The paper by Shi Zhengli mentioned in the above interview was published in early February 2020. However, the outside world discovered that Shi Zhengli submitted the registration information of the RaTG13 virus sequence on 27 January, showing that the virus had been extracted from the feces of Yunnan horseshoe bats (chrysanthemum horseshoe bats) as early as 24 July 2013.


Image : The virus submission record shows that the "new horseshoe bat coronavirus RaTG13" was collected on 24 July 2013. (G-NEWS)

After the SARS-CoV-2 virus sequence was officially announced on 12 January, the Chinese medical community once intensively announced new virus sequences. However, after 22 January, China suddenly stopped uploading the SARS-CoV-2 genome sequence. This obviously came from an official unified order.

At present, the international community strongly doubts that SARS-CoV-2 comes from the Wuhan virus laboratory. However, the outside world is still inconclusive as to whether the virus was transformed by CCP experts. US intelligence agencies have issued a statement saying that they believe that the SARS-CoV-2 is not a man-made virus. However, some senior White House officials said that there is solid evidence that the virus came from a Wuhan laboratory. A US congressman said that there is no contradiction between the fact that the virus is not man-made and it comes from a laboratory. It is very likely that the dangerous bat coronavirus collected by Shi Zhengli's team leaked from the laboratory and mutated, causing the disaster.

After the outbreak of the epidemic in Wuhan, various departments of the CCP issued notices requesting the enhancement of biosafety and the strengthening of virus laboratory management.

Anti-epidemic expert : Not enough Hong Kong government staff to do contact tracing

Report by : Gan Yung Chyan
                  / KUCINTA SETIA

The third wave of novel coronavirus outbreaks broke out in Hong Kong this month. More than 30% of the more than 100 confirmed daily cases are of unknown origin. The government’s anti-epidemic expert consultant and Dean of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong believes that the biggest problem of Hong Kong is the failure to stop unknown covid cases and it can take up to 8 days from the onset of the disease to the diagnosis. He recommended that the government increase its staff to trace contacts as soon as possible to cut off the chain of transmission. Regarding the ban on in-dining throughout the day, he said that looking at the photos was "desolate." He believed that the policy should be attached to the ground. Foreign countries can ban travel but Hong Kong should not follow the model. He commented, "If 7.5 million people are banned from travel, why not follow up (cases) and do more on top?"

According to the analysis of the University of Hong Kong, the basic reproduction rate of SARS-CoV-2 that reflects local infections exceeded 4 at the end of June, that is, 1 person can infect 4 people. It has continued to fall below 1 today, but today the number of confirmed cases hit a new high, reaching 149. Liang Zhuowei explained that a patient has an incubation period and testing takes time. It is expected that it will take two or three days from today for the diagnosis to have a chance to fall. Increased testing may increase the diagnosis. He pointed out that if the epidemic goes out of control, the number of diagnoses will rise geometrically but this is not the case so far.

The ban on in-dining in the night markets, which was imposed to control the third wave of the epidemic, took effect on 15 July 2020 in Hong Kong. From that day to 29 July 2020, of the 1301 local and related cases, 44.2% of them were of unknown origin. The peak on 19 July 2020 reaches. Then it gradually fell back, falling to 35.4% on 29 July. Liang Zhuowei believes that the biggest problem now is the failure to stop cases of unknown origin. Although the proportion of cases of unknown origin has dropped from 60% to about 30 to 40%, "it (the virus) has been a good and bad guy for many years," "There will always be those transmission chains that cannot be intercepted, naturally cannot be isolated, and naturally viral transmission continued”.

Liang Zhuowei also said that there are only three measures to prevent the epidemic: border defense, social distancing, and detection and tracking. The first two are almost exhausted in Hong Kong yet social distancing cannot be exhausted. He questioned, "Unless you ban venturing out or travel and if you are not allowed to go out to the streets, can you imagine what will happen?" He praised the Hong Kong people for fighting the epidemic and they are worthy of respect.
