Epidemic in mainland China: CCP vaccines kill people

Reporters : Xiong Bin and Zhong Yuan / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2021/06/03/a103134050.html / Direct translation


The domestically-made vaccines in mainland China have successively caused deaths. Recently, a 25-year-old girl in Shaanxi suffered shock and was sent to the hospital after receiving a domestic CCP virus vaccine. She had heart failure the next day and gave up treatment. She was suspected of passing away. In Shanghai, a 28-year-old man died after receiving a domestic vaccine, but the authorities blocked the news. In addition, mainland experts revealed that some of the currently confirmed patients and asymptomatic infections have been vaccinated with domestically-made vaccines.

A 25-year-old girl with the online name "Tian Yiqian" from Shaanxi Province experienced anaphylactic shock symptoms and was sent to the doctor after receiving the first shot of SInovac Biotech's CoronaVac vaccine on 28 May. She posted on Weibo that she was rescued at her own expense. After spending nearly 5,000 RMB, the originally troubled family was even worse. The next day, the doctor told her that her heart had begun to fail, but she no longer wanted to be treated. After that, the girl never posted Weibo again, and several previous posts about side effects of the vaccine were deleted. Some netizens tried to contact her without success. Some netizens thought she might be dead.

Ms. Tong, a Shanghai citizen, disclosed that similar cases had occurred in Shanghai but the news was blocked by the authorities.

Ms. Tong, a Shanghai citizen: "My classmates in their neighborhood, a girl fainted on the spot and was sent to the hospital. But I didn’t get it. I don’t know. There is a boy at Pudong Airport. 28 Years old, he died after being beaten. It is said that he died of a heart attack. It has nothing to do with this vaccine. I heard people say that he lost 60,000 yuan. We can't get any news. The news of the domestic blockade is very serious."

According to mainland media reports, the number of confirmed cases in Guangzhou continued to rise, and two additional high-risk areas were added in the early morning of June 2. Experts revealed that some of the currently confirmed patients and asymptomatic infections have been vaccinated with the domestic new crown vaccine.

Mr. Guan, a resident in Guangzhou, said, “This information was blocked. I saw a screenshot on the Internet, but did not read the original text. There was a confirmed person who received the first injection, but he was diagnosed. The first and second injections were given. There are also adverse reactions to the injections, such as fever and swollen arms. The adverse reactions are so serious that I will definitely not go for it. If I get a vaccine and something goes wrong, will I be responsible?"

Guangzhou launched a mass vaccination against the Chinese Communist Party virus in March this year, but announced the suspension of social vaccination on 31 May. Some netizens commented: “The outbreak of epidemics in various parts of Guangdong is precisely the time when the “vaccine” comes into play. Stopping vaccination can fully demonstrate that the CCP virus vaccine cannot prevent the epidemic at all, and large-scale vaccination will cause a real outbreak!"

Xi Jinping and the "National Teacher" each have their own words, the war wolf diplomacy is difficult to turn

The Politburo of the Communist Party of China held a meeting recently, inviting anti-American teacher and Fudan University professor Zhang Weiwei to "lecture" to senior leaders. However, the outside world found that Xi Jinping's speech on that day and Zhang Weiwei's recent remarks about wolf warriors were quite different, and they almost said different things.

Xi Jinping presided over the Politburo meeting of the CPC Central Committee on 31 May, demanding to build a strategic communication system with the characteristics of the CPC, and to grasp the tone, humble and humble, and strive to create a "lovely" image.

In this regard, some analysts believe that Xi Jinping’s remarks may represent his dissatisfaction with the CCP’s Wolf Warrior diplomats and the Wolf Warriors-style foreign propaganda, because their performance of the Wolf Warriors damaged the image of "Xi Central Committee" and gave the CCP Bringing diplomatic dilemma, so Xi Jinping deliberately asked them to curb their war wolf behavior.

RFI reported that the target of Xi Jinping’s speech was the entire CCP’s external propaganda system, including official media, Confucius Institutes, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and foreign envoys. The CCP has realized its poor international image.

It is worth noting that this time the Politburo meeting of the Communist Party of China invited Fudan University professor Zhang Weiwei to "lecture" for them.

Zhang Weiwei is the director of the China Development Model Research Center of Fudan University and is known as an anti-American expert. On the Internet, he is also known as the CCP’s “wild national teacher”, “Kai Gong’s public knowledge”, and “the godfather of powder maggots”.

Similar to Jin Canrong, the "national teacher" of the CCP, Zhang Weiwei is also a CCP advocate who is also known to be anti-American and cursing the West. He has constantly made remarks about the superiority of the CCP model system. He gave lectures to the CCP's senior officials and explained the big foreign propaganda policy, which made the outside world believe that the CCP's senior officials did not want to change the anti-US strategy, and there would be no essential changes to the usual war wolf diplomacy.

Zhang Weiwei once described US-China relations, "Fortunately, our Chinese leaders have experienced the turbulent times of the Cultural Revolution, and we know how to deal with hooligans."

According to the analysis by Law Canton, Zhang Weiwei's political and international views are highly consistent with Xi Jinping. This time, what ideas Zhang gave to the top leaders of the Chinese Communist Party is still unknown, but according to party media reports, Xi Jinping pointed out that on the one hand, he pointed out that the big foreign propaganda was not effective, and on the other hand, he was dissatisfied with the negative effects of the Wolf Warriors style.

Zhang Weiwei accepted an exclusive English interview with the Chinese Communist Party media People's Daily Online after attending classes for the CCP's senior leaders. He claimed that for the West, "misreading China, especially malicious misreading, should take action, ridicule when it is ridiculed, and drink when it is ridiculous."

However, Zhang Wei's remarks and Xi Jinping's remarks for "grasp the tone, humility and humility" seem to be saying different things. This means that even if Xi Jinping wants to stop the war wolf behavior, it may be difficult for the war wolves in various fields around him to obey.

Some experts believe that in recent years, CCP officials have staged the Wolf Warrior Show, which, to put it bluntly, is for the sake of political future. But judging from Xi Jinping's speech this time, the big foreign propaganda system may have performed too much, and Zhang Weiwei seems to be still maintaining the over-riding speech.

Asking Zhang Wei to give lectures by the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China also triggered ridicule from the outside world. Some mainland netizens said, "The powerful and invincible combination: Internet writing has Zhou Xiaoping and Hua Qianfang, international vision has Zhang Weiwei, media propaganda has Hu Xijin, diplomacy has the wolf group, now it depends on the military wizards, whether it is Jin Canrong or Zhang Zhaozhong. This combination is so high that the aliens are peeing their pants!"

On Twitter, many people sarcastically: "From Li Xiguang to Zhang Weiwei, one generation of the CCP is not as good as the next generation." "Why are the Chinese teachers like Jin Canrong and Zhang Weiwei?" "This kind of clown is sensational. He turned out to be a guest of authority. It is ridiculous and sad." "The parallel professor who squeaks in his mouth has entered the room. It is also a sign."

There are also mainland netizens who posted on the Internet satirizing Zhang Weiwei, whose true identity is a praiser. It is the vested interests themselves. Today these great lords raised this flag, and he sang the flag. Tomorrow the elders will change positions, and he will follow suit immediately, absolutely unambiguous.

As Guo Degang said, Baoding is the hometown today, Urumqi is the hometown tomorrow, and Buenos Aires can become the hometown the day after tomorrow. In ancient times, people like him were Wang Lang and Wang Situ. Eat the people's salary, but complicit in usurping the throne. In Zhuge Liang's words, this is called the second court thief.

Infected people have stayed in Shenzhen Dongmen related places are locked down

 Reporters : Chang Chun, Chen Jie and Huang Yuning / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2021/06/03/a103134075.html / Direct translation

The epidemic situation in Guangdong continues to be severe. An asymptomatic infected person in Shenzhen’s “5.21” Yantian had stayed at the East Gate of Luohu District a few days ago, causing panic. For this reason, two buildings in Dongmen were sealed and tested for nucleic acid. Some Shenzhen residents said that Longgang District was also required to be tested all employees, and some villages were even blocked.

The first case of asymptomatic infection was discovered on 21 May in Yantian District, Shenzhen. As of 1 June, there were at least 15 cases of asymptomatic infection in total. In the evening of 2 June, Shenzhen Dongmen Commercial Pedestrian District Management Center issued an announcement stating that Yang, who was infected with the virus on 21 May, had stayed in Minghua Building and Baohua Building, Dongmen Street, Luohu District. For fear of causing large-scale infections, some key populations and regions have already carried out nucleic acid sampling.

Ms. Zhang, a citizen of Shenzhen, said that Minghua Building in Dongmen and Baohua Baima Garment Wholesale City were closed under the influence of Yantian infected persons.

Shenzhen resident Ms. Zhang said, "(The White Horse Wholesale City is blocked) Yes, yes, it's bigger, it seems to have 15 floors, and there are more people coming in and out. There is a contact, the report above, I am also specific. It’s not clear. It was from the Yantian side and the people who had been infected afterwards. I also watched it through the news."

Ms. Zhang also said that some villages in Yantian District and Henggang Town, Longgang District, Shenzhen were blocked. The area where she was located was not blocked, but all staff were required to undergo nucleic acid testing.

Ms. Zhang said, "We don’t need to isolate, we just do nucleic acid, and then get vaccines. The area where I live needs to be tested by all staff, because the blocked place belongs to our area. I’m in Longgang District. We did not seal Henggang (Henggang Town, Longgang District) and Yantian, but Henggang has some villages closed."

According to the owner of Dongmen, there is a street in Dongmen, and all shops on the street are required to close stores and undergo nucleic acid testing. It is estimated that the possibility of a large area being infected is not optimistic.
