More than ten days after Xi'an was closed down, Xi'an Xianyang International Airport suddenly announced that it would suspend the operation of international passenger flights from 5 January 2022 but did not explain the reason, which triggered heated public opinion.
The Chinese Communist Party’s official Xinhua News Agency announced on its official Weibo on 6 January that, with the approval of the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), Xi’an Xianyang International Airport will suspend the operation of international passenger routes from 5 January, and the resumption time will be notified separately. Prior to this, Xi'an Xianyang International Airport has suspended domestic flights.
This news triggered a heated discussion on the Internet, and some netizens questioned Xi'an was closed on 23 December last year. Why were international flights suspended after 13 days?"
Some netizens also said, "Xianyang Airport is a very important port of entry, and it must be a national decision to stop it." "The airport in Xi'an must provide Beijing with anti-diversion. It is not something he can stop by himself if he wants to stop."

Some netizens said, "On the first day of the official closure of the city, I checked the flight schedule. All domestic flights at Xi'an Airport were cancelled. There was only one inbound and two outbound international flights... Actually, it was stopped long ago. Even if there are a few days, there are some special circumstances. Today’s announcement just states that the airport is completely closed."

Earlier, the cargo logistics supply chain news website The Loadstar reported that Xi’an Xianyang International Airport is China’s ninth largest cargo airport. Affected by the epidemic, it is now facing problems caused by a large number of flight cancellations.
According to the report, the Xi'an government adopted strict blockade measures in response to the epidemic in mid-December 2021, cutting off most of the city's transportation, including flights.
In addition, in the last week of December 2021, several major hub airports in Shanghai, Beijing and Shenzhen have cancelled hundreds of flights. It is expected that in the next eight weeks, the strict blockade measures under the CCP’s “zero-covid policy”, as well as the upcoming Chinese New Year and the Beijing Winter Olympics, will deal a greater blow to transportation.
Cathay Pacific Airways General Manager Frosti Lau told customers in the morning of 4 January that Hong Kong is also facing strict quarantine regulations, which makes the “working model extremely challenging”.
The report quoted freight forwarders as saying that they expect few charter flights to be approved and other flights will also be restricted, especially those entering Beijing.
At present, Xi'an is carrying out "Social Clearance" under the central order. According to the official report, more than 4.2 people have been urgently taken away for centralized quarantine, and nucleic acid tests are carried out in the city at the same time. However, many videos revealed that the conditions at the isolation points were extremely poor.
Local citizens disclosed that the authorities have taken a large number of citizens out of quarantine in order to complete the "Social Clearance", and the conditions at the quarantine points are extremely poor. Some citizens disclosed the tricky behind the "clearing". If a confirmed case occurs in a building, all the people in the building will be pulled away by bus for isolation. Then, the official will report that it has been "cleared". As for the outbreak of the epidemic again, the official will say that it was an epidemic that occurred at the isolation points.

Another Xi’an citizen disclosed that after the secretary of the Yanta District Committee of Xi’an was dismissed, the authorities required all districts to issue "military orders" and communities must be "cleared." Why were so many people sent to the suburban resettlement houses for isolation overnight? Because it is not his responsibility to leave the Yanta area, he does not care if others are infected outside or not.
Chen Zhijun, deputy director of the Xi'an Center for Disease Control and Prevention, stated at a press conference on the 4th that "the social aspect has basically been cleared" and Xi'an will gradually unblock it. Xi'an's fixed-point "clearing" model has attracted the attention of international public opinion. Netizens ridiculed this as "covering one's ears to nothing."

On 4 January 2021, Xi’an independent media person Jiang Xue published "My Ten Days in the Locked Down City", which was regarded as the Xi’an version of "Wuhan Diary". The article records the chaos of the lockdown of the city and the helplessness of the bottom layer. It bluntly stated that the official propaganda is "arbitrary" and "empty talk."
This edited article entitled "Ten Days in Chang'an-My Ten Days in the Locked Down City" mainly describes the author's experience in the ten days from the eve of the lockdown of Xi'an on 22 December 2021 to 3 January 2022. After the article was published, it was quickly and widely reposted.
The 47-year-old Jiang Xue was born in the press. She used to be the chief reporter and director of the commentary department of "China Business Daily", and an investigative reporter of Caixin Media. She is now an independent media person. According to her self-report, she graduated from the Northwest University of Political Science and Law and originally planned to join the legal profession.

The article opened with a loudspeaker in Jiang Xue’s community on 31 December 2021, notifying residents to line up for nucleic acid testing, and mentioned that before the city lockdown order was issued on 22 December, she vaguely felt that the situation was serious. So, she followed the suggestions of friends and hurriedly went to the supermarket to shop, and soon the government announced the lockdown of the city, and some nearby communities were sealed off.

The article said that she had not expected at the time that the lockdown on 23 December would be "so hastily and developing in an unexpected direction." This night, those who are blocked at home, people snapped up in supermarkets, pregnant women, patients, graduate students, construction workers, urban homeless people, and tourists passing by Xian may all underestimate what the lockdown of the city will bring to them disaster.
She wrote that on 27 December 2021, the management and control was upgraded, from "going out for two days to buy food" to prohibit entry and exit in the community. She used her mobile phone to join the WeChat group of the convenience store at the gate of the community, and then found that this was her "only life supply channel that she could rely on."

Jiang Xue mentioned that Xi'an stopped express delivery on 21 December, and people in Xi'an placed orders on the online shopping platform, but they could not deliver them at all, or it always showed that "the express delivery brother is full". She did not deliver the food two days after placing the order, so she had to return the goods and did not buy the first batch of vegetables after the city was closed until 31 December 2021.

"Free food" only for Chinese Communist members while logistics and distribution suspended

She pointed out that some of the communities that later received "free food" and claimed to be "guaranteed" were all related to the Chinese Communist government. However, the logistics and distribution of the whole city have been suspended. In a large city with 13 million people, it is impossible to deliver food to the door in a short period of time by grassroots staff and volunteers. No matter how good the publicity of the authorities is, "in fact, it has nothing to do with ordinary people."

Chinese Communist Party hold no regards for the 13 million people in Xi'an
Jiang Xue asked, "When those with power pressed the "pause button" for this city, did they think of the fate of these 13 million people? If this is not something "bigger than the sky", then what else is it?"
At the end of the article, she mentioned that a friend left a message, applauding the Shaanxi government's "Social Clearance", and shouted "Xi'an can only win, there is no choice, no retreat". She replied in desperation, "Xi'an can only win. This is the correct big talk, and it is empty talk." If the officials did not reflect afterwards, did not draw lessons from blood and tears, and were just busy "presenting meritorious services and praising merits", then people's suffering "can only be endured for nothing."

Jiang Xue finally pointed out that when ordinary people encounter the propaganda of "we will do whatever it takes," they may have to think about whether they are the "us" in this sentence or the "price" that must be paid.
When Wuhan was locked down due to the epidemic in 2020, the Chinese writer Fang Fang continued to record her experiences in Wuhan in a diary on Weibo, revealing the tragic experience of the people in Wuhan. Subsequently, she encountered official pressure and was forced to silence.

Jiang Xue: Diary of Xi'an Lockdown
Ten Days in Chang'an-My Ten Days in the Locked Down City
By Jiang Xue
The epidemic situation in Xi'an, Shaanxi is severe, and the city will be "closed" from 0:00 on December 23, 2021. (Video screenshot)
Editor's note: This is a miserable New Year's Eve. The epidemic situation in Xi'an, Shaanxi, China is severe. It has been more than ten days since the closure of the city on December 23, 2021. Nearly 30,000 police officers have been dispatched to participate in the closure, and 13 million residents have been closed at home. Many people have food shortages, and there are constant conflicts between hungry people and quarantine personnel: a guy who went out to buy steamed buns was intercepted and beaten aside by several epidemic prevention personnel; the entire community and the entire village were all taken away and quarantined; there are still rumors on the Internet, Xi’an Compulsory culling of pets from residents in quarantine. Under the powerful means of clearing the epidemic, the people are suffering. Everything seems to be repeating the scene of the closure of Wuhan in Hubei in early 2020. The part of the content that the official may conceal is also like a mystery. Xi'an's fight against the epidemic has evolved into a humanitarian crisis.
Jiang Xue, a well-known mainland media person from the WeChat public account "Silent Cungewu", recorded some details and feelings about the lockdown in the article "The Ten Days of Chang'an-My Ten Journals of the Locked Down City". In the wall of strict control of speech, the author only uses peaceful words to express, but it is still difficult to conceal the inner anger.

My Ten Days in the Locked Down City
The loudspeakers in the community rang again, repeating it over and over again, calling people to go downstairs to do nucleic acid. The line was long. The girl who tested the nucleic acid slapped her plastic gloves with disinfectant every time she finished one. I smelled the cold scent, and imagined her hands were frozen to purple.
This is 31 December 2021. At the last dusk of the old year, twilight is about to fall. Looking out from the balcony, the street was empty. There is no longer a busy evening in this city, and the deathly silence feels absurd and scary.
1. The day the city was locked down
On the afternoon of December 22, when the Xi'an city closure order was announced, I was stuffed to compile a manuscript at my home in the southern suburbs, vaguely feeling that the epidemic had become serious. Some restaurants on the doorstep were sealed a few days ago, and the convenience store on the doorway stopped picking up couriers the day before, and life became inconvenient. After 3 o'clock, my friend liked to leave a message on WeChat and said that we should buy some vegetables and reserve some food, and the supermarket will be closed soon. I believe her. She is an experienced charity person and has many remote disaster relief experiences. So immediately went out.
When I went to the supermarket, I found that the situation was not right. Although the press conference of the day has not yet been held, and the evening panic has not yet begun, people's shopping carts are full. I decided to buy more. The shared bicycle was not going back, so I finally used the car to go back.
Sure enough, at the press conference after 5 o'clock, the "city closure order" was issued. Although the government said that "the supply of materials is sufficient," people have begun to buy them. Because I have bought good things, I am more confident in my heart. When you are done, go out and go around. On the road, I saw a large crowd of people gathered at the entrance of Shajing Village in the High-tech Zone. Outside the village, there are two to three hundred meters along the road, all of which are separated by green boards.
I walked from the flyover to the other side of the road and wanted to see the details. Only then did I find that there was a shop that was open, which was also separated by the baffle, and it was still brightly lit for the time being. I stood on the steps of the overpass and greeted the boss. He told me that the village was urgently closed in the afternoon and the store would have to be closed after a while.
Hundreds of people gathered at the entrance of the village, all of them wearing masks, shoulder to shoulder without other protection. On the side of the road, there was a police car with its lights flashing and there was no one in it.
A young woman, who bought a bunch of things, placed plastic bags on the ground, was squatting and videoing her family. A middle-aged man, leaning on his bicycle, looked sadly at the crowd. He told me that he was fine when he went out to work in the morning, and when he came back from get off work at 8 in the evening, he found that the village was closed and he could not enter. He told me that the monthly rent is 500 yuan.
I know that kind of house. I just graduated 20 years ago, and I lived in a village in the city, about ten square meters, without a bathroom, cooking in the corridor, the lighting was not good, and it was dark.
The two cleaners, carrying plastic bags in their hands, probably bought some daily necessities, standing in the crowd, the yellow cleaning suits were very conspicuous. I asked them, saying that when they went out to work at 4 or 5 in the afternoon, they could still come out, and they could not get in after they came back from work at night.
Many years ago, I reported as a cleaner and knew that they could only rent houses in the villages in the city, because they had carts, brooms and other tools, even if they could afford to rent a building, they couldn’t live in them. Huangyan Village near the newspaper office was a gathering place for cleaners. Later, the whole place was demolished and buildings were built, and they lost a place to stay.
I accompany them on the side of the road, feeling their helplessness. The older one is very timid, for fear of saying something wrong. The young one, but always smiling, nodded to me from time to time. Behind the mask is a dark face, and I can feel the warmth of his smile.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd at the interface of the isolation board, and it seemed that a seam opened. I heard people say that the leaders of the village are now in a meeting and are still waiting for an explanation. The two cleaners also rushed over, and after a while they dispersed in disappointment. Look at the phone, it's almost 10 o'clock in the evening. People gathered here, waiting in the cold wind for at least two hours.
A few days later, I saw the Internet saying that a young man living in a village in the city was so hungry that he couldn't eat because of the lockdown. I just think of this night of lockdown. I don't know if this man also lives in Shajing Village, where there are tens of thousands of people, and was blocked outside the village that night with a dazed expression.
I went to a few more places, and then went home. At this time, the street was empty. On Jixiang Road, the glamorous red lanterns hung the plane trees by the side of the road. Someone was standing on the side of the road, carrying large and small bags. On Gaoxin Road, Xiao Wu, a motorcycle takeaway boy, is rushing to deliver the last meal before zero. He said that although the city is closed, people always have to eat, some restaurants in the mall should open their doors and there will be orders. He was still smiling when he spoke.
At that time, we had not expected that this "closure of the city" would be so hastily and develop in an unexpected direction. This night, those who were blocked at home, people snapped up in supermarkets, pregnant women, patients, graduate students, construction workers, urban homeless people, tourists passing by Xi'an...may have underestimated the "closure of the city" will be The disaster they brought.
And those who press the "pause button" for this city, those who hold power, have they ever thought about how they will affect the fate of the 13 million people living in this city? If this is not something bigger than the sky, what else is it?
2. The remaining market
At least at the beginning of the lockdown, everything seemed reasonable. Many supermarkets and fruit and vegetable shops in front of the community are still operating under the covers. Although the movement of people has stopped, the basic supply of living is still functioning, but much slower.
Nucleic acid is done every two days in the yard of my community. Although the gate cannot be freely entered and exited, the property can leave the house by issuing a "pass-out permit", which is a small note. It is said that the quarantine policy is that "one person in each household can go out to buy groceries for two days."
I don't need to go out to buy groceries. First, there are reserves. The convenience store next to the Erlai community is still open. The diligent proprietress writes down everyone's needs across the fence, whether it is vegetable rice noodle oil or daily necessities, prepare the goods, and then deliver them. On December 25th, it snowed, and a vegetable cart was parked outside the complex. The vegetables were fresh and there were fresh meat. The neighbors consciously lined up to buy them. In the enviable eyes of people, a lady took away a large bouquet of flowers she ordered.
No one could have predicted that after only two days, all people in Xi'an started looking for food online, making it difficult for the whole people to buy food. In this age of material surplus and everyone has to lose weight, eating will suddenly become a difficult task.
On 26 December, the fourth day after the city was closed. I saw news on the Internet, saying that Teacher Tiantian from Xiangxi, whom everyone has been paying attention to recently, has gone home. While being happy for Teacher Tiantian, I thought of a young lawyer friend, his wife, who was also shouting on the Internet at this time, hoping that her husband would go home. But her voice is too weak.
Feel depressed. I decided to go out in the name of grocery shopping.
I took the "Road" and went out, swept a shared bicycle on the snow-covered street, and enjoyed this rare freedom. On the main road, the bus is still running, but no one is sitting. On a deck chair on a certain platform, a wanderer lay. On the street, from time to time, takeaway brothers and couriers pass by.
There are many police cars on the road. After 10 minutes, I saw about four or five police cars.
The entrance of Ganjiazhai Village, where I often go to buy vegetables on weekdays, is covered with a baffle. Several pieces of paper were posted on the board, with the words "seasoning", "chili", "Yulin tofu", and "soil pork" written crookedly, and they all left the phone. There are two men, separated by the baffle, one hand to deliver the goods, the other hand to scan the QR code to pay the bill.
This is a huge resettlement area for villages in the city and a famous market around it. Every evening, the village is brightly lit and dusty. Several service stations of courier companies are located here. Compared with the surrounding communities, this place is self-contained. Although the city is closed, many small restaurants in the village are still open. At this time, a walk of takeaways stood outside the fence of the community. After a while, a small owner of the restaurant hurried over and passed the meal to be delivered to them through the fence.
A takeaway boy is sitting on a motorcycle and playing with his mobile phone. I chatted with him for a while.
The younger brother's surname is Liu, 29 years old this year. My hometown is in Baoji. He said that on the 22nd, when he heard that the city was going to be closed, he wanted to go back to his hometown as soon as possible. As a result, when he asked about it, he would have to be quarantined when returning home. The quarantine fee had to be paid by himself, which was RMB 210 a day. It was too expensive, so he decided to stay. But he rented in Shajing Village, the village has been closed, and he can't go back.
No way, he stayed in a hotel because he could come and go freely and continue to run orders. The cheapest hotel on the street is RMB 150 a day, which he shares with others. These days, fewer restaurants open, fewer orders, but fewer takeaways, so he can still run three to four hundred yuan a day, which is even more than his previous average daily income.
A few days later, when I saw the news, a man from Chunhua County, Xianyang, who was home from the city, took a shared bicycle to return home from Xi’an after the city was closed. By 6 am, nearly 90 km away, he was "caught" by the epidemic prevention staff when he was approaching his hometown and was fined 200 yuan. There was also a young guy who walked from Xianyang Airport to Qinling in order to go home. He walked in the mountains for eight days and nights until he reached Guanghuo Street near the watershed, where he was found.
I thought of Xiao Liu again. I don't know if he will be able to come out after "control upgrade"? Even if it can come out, is there another order to run? How can he bear the RMB 150 accommodation fee a day? Regret for not leaving his phone call that day.
3. Management and control upgrade
On 27 December, I suddenly heard that Xi'an was "upgrading control". The community security said that the original implementation of "going out to buy food once in two days" has been invalidated. Starting today, no one can enter or leave the community.
On the 28th, the entire network was calling for "difficulties in buying vegetables." At the gate of my community, the gate is locked, and the property owners no longer let everyone stay at the gate and register to buy things inside the fence. I scanned the code and added the convenience store group at the door, only to realize that this may be the only life supply channel I can rely on next.
After thinking about it later, the reason is actually very simple. If everyone can't go out, no matter how rich the materials and publicity are, it has nothing to do with ordinary people.
The group of convenience stores is in chaos, with more than 400 people. People are looking for food and grabbing food. The proprietress stipulates that "Solitaire" can only be limited to one hour in the morning, but everyone who has just come in must grab the solitaire first, and naturally be reprimanded by the proprietress.
Scrolling through the information in the group, I saw a young man in the community asking for help: "Who can sell me a pair of tableware? I can't buy it everywhere." I left a message and asked him to pick it up downstairs in 10 minutes. Then he packed up a set of tableware such as bowls, plates, chopsticks, etc., and sent them down.
Across the green belt, I asked the young man about his situation. The guy said that his home is nearby, the company is here, and he can't go back after it is sealed, but the office has never been fired, so there is nothing. He finally got a saucepan, but he had no utensils and no place to buy... As a thank you, he brought me some snacks, including a bag of chicken sausages, a small pack of snickers, and a box of deluxe. Milk.
The next day, the situation was even worse. I saw two young people in the group saying that they had eaten instant noodles for a week and their mouths were rotten. One said that all her inventory now contains only two packs of instant noodles. The other said that he had "ran out of ammunition and food."
I left a message to the two young people, saying that at noon the next day, I would give them a boxed meal. One declined, the other agreed. Before going to bed, I took out a piece of beef from the refrigerator, thinking about making tomato stew sirloin for this girl the next day. Unexpectedly, she left a message the next day, saying that she had something to eat, so she didn't need to make it for her. Inviting again and again, she still said forget it. Guessing that she was because of her self-esteem or she was still on guard, so she didn't force it anymore, just told her that she could contact me if she had something to do.
I also started counting my inventory to live my life. I saw that my neighbor said to make oily noodles every day to save food. So I sent four shiitake mushrooms, two tomatoes, and one zucchini. Plus a barrel of beer I bought before closing the city, hung in front of her house. She was very happy and gave me some sweet and crisp apples back. I couldn't ask for it.
At this time, when I saw many communities on the Internet, neighbors began to "bargain for things", using instant noodles for cigarettes, garlic for potatoes, etc., I was dumbfounded, but I believe this is of course true.
Suddenly entering a state of material scarcity, people also start to care about food. I always want to go to the kitchen and check the stock in the refrigerator. The city has been closed for nearly a week, and the food purchased in advance has been reduced by more than half. Thinking of replenishing some more, but in the group of convenience stores, there is no way to catch the dragon. Many people say that they are already hungry. I decided not to join in the fun and make another living.
4. People's self-help
From 28 to 31 December 2021, for at least these four days, most people in Xi'an can only rely on self-help on how to buy vegetables and daily necessities, that is, how to eat food.
Some friends from other places are curious, and ask if they can be delivered by express. In fact, around December 21, express delivery in Xi'an stopped and people could not shop online from other places. After the closure of the city, some online shopping platforms circulated in the WeChat group, saying that food can be delivered during the epidemic. But when I placed the order, I realized that as long as I live in Xi'an, it cannot be delivered. The usual "Hema" is always "the courier is full". Finally, I found a "Everyone Happy Home" and placed an order to buy some vegetables, but two days after paying the bill, there was no movement, so I refunded it.
In the live broadcast of the government press conference on 29 December, the comment area was captured by "difficulties in buying food," and the comments were simply closed.
I discussed with a few friends in a volunteer group. All of them have participated in various disaster relief and have rich experience. They all agreed that it was too difficult to do something in Xi'an this time. At the beginning of the lockdown, they organized thousands of online and offline volunteers, but they were unable to make a difference. The government closed all communities across the board, and the pass was very difficult to obtain. Volunteers could not leave their residences to serve on the front line. This is also a situation they have not encountered for many years.
Actually it's easy to think By the way, the residents of our communities are still lucky. Generally, there will be some surplus food at home, so that they will not go hungry right away. The most tragic are those in old communities, urban villages, and construction sites. It is hard to imagine that those young people who work in the company on weekdays have become one of the most difficult people to eat after the city is closed. They don't usually cook, don't have cooking utensils, and some live in the office. At this time, the restaurant outside closed, the takeaway stopped, and even the door could not go out. Instant noodles became a rarity.
At night of 30 December, the temperature was below zero. In a small group, friends left a message, and just returned from the street after serving food to the homeless. This friend is enthusiastic about charity and public welfare, cooperating with others, for more than ten years, insisting on providing food for the extremely poor on the streets of Xi'an. In the past few days, he prepared food for the homeless in a factory in the southern suburbs, and then sent it to the city. He delivered 185 hot meals overnight. Because he has a pass, there is nothing to hinder him.
Before closing the city, I participated in a friend's activity and gave a cotton coat to the homeless. Knowing that they usually stay overnight in banks, ATMs and other places in the city. Now that the city is closed, they have been driven away on the one hand, and because there is no one on the street, no matter whether they beg or pick up the tatters, they have no conditions. For them, this is destined to be an extremely difficult winter.
On New Year's Day, I had a chat with Sister Zhang, who was finally a little free. She has been a public welfare organization for more than ten years. She used to serve the disabled and has been working in the community for the past three to four years. In this epidemic, she has been cooperating with the community, linking resources, and participating in many rescue activities.
Sister Zhang told me that in the extreme situation of the city closure, neighborhood self-help is very important. Similar to the special needs of elderly people living alone, children, etc., some people do not eat or drink, etc., some urgent needs can be completely solved by neighboring mutual assistance. Including in some major crises, self-help in the community is indispensable. But the current situation is that the community does not do these things, and people get along as if they are on an isolated island. In this area, the original public welfare organization can do a lot of work and build in the community. But this is often taboo by the government.
Speaking of the current difficulty of eating vegetables everywhere, she likened it to be like enclosing everyone, and then "feeding" by government staff. Just imagine how it is possible in tens of millions of cities? There are about 20,000 people in a community, and there are generally no more than ten grassroots staff, and all kinds of administrative orders are endless. She sighed and said that most of the community workers she knew were young women, and many of them were also mothers. These days they can't go home at all, they are all overworked. Many people sleep on the floor and sleep in the office, which makes her feel "distressed".
"The government still didn't realize that the administrative force could not solve everything. Just like this epidemic prevention, the grassroots staff worked so hard day and night, so what is the effect." We chatted, and an hour passed unconsciously.
5. Our recommendations
In the morning of 31 December, I finally bought the first box of vegetables since the epidemic. Speaking of it, it is through mutual help among neighbors. I saw the seller’s poster in the WeChat group of the community, and found that the price was more appropriate, 108 yuan a box, 20 jins a box. Hurry up and place the order, it was delivered the next day, and it was quite fresh.
Earlier, a lot of news had been exposed on the Internet. The government’s free food was distributed to some communities, but netizens tracked down that some communities that claimed to be ample security were related to the government. At the same time, friends living in Qujiang began to receive "love dishes", and many people began to show "positive energy". But in my judgment, even if the government sends warmth, it won't be in our hands for a while. The reason is very simple. The market is closed and the daily logistics and distribution of the city are stopped. In a large city with 13 million people, it is possible to rely on grassroots staff and volunteers to deliver food to the door in a short period of time?
When I got the food, I asked the boss. The boss said that the dishes were imported from Ningxia and adjusted 5000 pieces. Because I couldn't get the pass a few days ago, I couldn't send it. As long as the demand of the community is more than 5 pieces, they are willing to deliver. "The market is always smarter than the government." This is an old saying. Only now and here can I feel the same way.
The fact is already obvious that the "difficulty in selling vegetables" that has lasted for many days is essentially a man-made disaster. In Xi'an, there is no shortage of materials, but materials are difficult to deliver to those who need them most. I saw a lot of self-media articles, one of which was written by Ye Ye Ye, in the words: “We have such a powerful logistics system as Tmall and JD. Why don’t the government use it? I have to think it’s smart to deliver food to my door? "
Looking at Moments and WeChat groups every day, I am bombarded by various information in my heart. With the upgrading of control, bad news comes every day: high-risk pregnant women cannot go to the hospital to prepare for delivery, patients who are in urgent need of medication after kidney transplantation have nowhere to buy medicine, migrant workers cannot eat on closed construction sites, and graduate students are stranded in the streets and starve. ...... Various secondary disasters caused by epidemic prevention and control occur frequently, and if they continue, there is no possibility of humanitarian disasters.
On 31 December, I chatted with my friends early in the morning to discuss what to do, and formed some suggestions with friends such as Suixi. I decided to send out these suggestions first as a citizen. This "urgent suggestion from a citizen of Xi'an on solving the problem of eating vegetables" mentioned: the market order must be gradually restored. First, restore the terminal logistics system so that vegetable vendors, fruit and vegetable stores, supermarkets, etc. can enter the community for supply, including letting various life-saving drugs enter the hands of residents. And encourage social forces to enter the rescue system, encourage people to save themselves, etc...
In the end, it was decided not to sign, in order not to be "labeled", so that only the voice of the citizens could be expressed. But God knows, is there no fear in my heart? My friend Min Tao wrote a few diaries two days ago, calling for a solution to the "difficulties in selling vegetables". The article was published two days ago, but I couldn't find it. A platform I am familiar with has begun to delete all the "negatives" of the Xi'an epidemic...
6. "Xi'an can only win"
The first day of 2022 has arrived. Early in the morning, the curtains are opened, the morning light is faint, and the streets are still silent as a wasteland.
I picked up my phone. I wanted to write a little about New Year’s mood. I clicked on a video. But I saw a young man who came back from buying steamed buns in Nanyaotou community not far from me. He was surrounded by epidemic prevention personnel at the gate of the community. Beaten.
On the screen, white-flowered buns spilled all over the floor, and I seemed to hear my heartbroken voice. The beater, facing his own kind-how can a person who bought a little food in this cold wind be able to deal with it? Is even the tiniest power that makes people mutate? Is violence the least costly solution in the eyes of the powerful? I silently turned off my phone. At this moment, I just hope that I can close my eyes and listen and spend this New Year's day peacefully.
The surface silence of the city cannot conceal its turmoil. From an individual perspective, since December 27, disasters have occurred almost every day. At first, it was all kinds of food that could not be eaten, but later it was more about calling for help for medical treatment. The newspaper I’ve worked with in the past set up a “Reporter’s Gang” column, hoping to “help one count one” and reporters will help citizens buy medicines and deliver medicines to solve some hurdles that cannot be passed. Every day, thousands of help messages are received.
The new year is here, and in the community where I live, seals are posted on the doors of every household. Because there are people with two confirmed cases in the other building. I heard that according to the latest social "clearance" policy, if there are more cases, all the residents in our community will be taken away for centralized isolation.
In the community unit group, I can almost feel everyone trembling. In the middle of the night on December 31, the Mijiaqiao community, which was taken away by everyone, was near my home. The people in the 8-mile community of Mingdemen who were taken to Baqiao Public Rental Housing for centralized isolation are already asking for help. At least we are still in our warm home. At this time, the property reminder is no longer needed. In the unit group, everyone is cheering up: stop all shopping first, go downstairs, and ensure safety, otherwise, people in the entire community will be taken away and quarantined. What a neighbor is most worried about is the five cats in the family, three of which are fostered by front-line epidemic prevention personnel... A friend reminded me that I should simply prepare so as not to be suddenly pulled into quarantine.
On 3 January, another day passed. Someone in the group said: "Finally another day was saved." We just live in the "prosperous age" like this.
At noon, I saw the news of a girl named "Sun Hua Hua Hua" circulating on the Internet: her father had a heart attack and had to go out of the community to the hospital. The hospital did not accept it because her community was "medium risk". Later, he reluctantly stayed and dragged on for a few hours for surgery to be rescued, but finally there was no rescue...
I used Xiaohongshu to find the girl who lost her father. I want to know what happened to her in this cold winter. If I have a chance, I want to hug her. I also want to tell her that the suffering we have encountered should be recorded and should not be endured in vain.
I leave a message and hope this girl can contact me. But in the evening, there was no news, but it was discovered that the first page of her little red book about the death of her father had been deleted. Fortunately, I took a screenshot, and it shows that many people have followed her. I saw one in the comments, to the effect: In this absurd city, as long as you don’t die from the virus, it’s not a death.
The dusk of January 3 came again. This is the tenth day after the closure of the city. I didn't wait for the news from the girl in Xiaohongshu, but I saw a message from a friend I was familiar with. A long passage was probably to applaud the "social aspect". There is a sentence at the end: "Xi'an can only win, there is no choice, no retreat."
I am speechless. Silently sent him a screenshot of the girl's story about losing her father. Seriously, I don't want to have any debate with him.
But in the end, I could not help but continue a few paragraphs.
"'Xi'an can only win', this is correct rhetoric, rhetoric, and empty talk. Similar to it, there is also'we must do anything at all costs'. This sentence is good, but specific to every ordinary person, we may Just think about it, here, are we'we' or are we the'price' that must be paid?"
"After the incident, if there is no reflection, no lessons learned from blood and tears, and if you are busy presenting awards and singing praises, then people's suffering can only be endured in vain."
I don't plan to see him again. But I want to tell him that this city, no matter how the grand narrative ultimately tells about the suffering, tonight, I only care about the girl who lost her father, and the girl who was crying and went to a stranger who went to the epidemic prevention staff for sanitary napkins, Young mothers who have been told over and over again, and those who have been humiliated, hurt, and neglected. They didn't need to suffer such pain.
I also want to say: In this world, no one is an island, and everyone's death is everyone's death. The virus did not take lives in this city, but something else is really possible.

Once insulted Fang Fang, Xi'an Little Pink's desperate call for help aroused heated discussion

Xi'an, China, suffered a brutal lockdown, and many once fanatical "patriotic" netizens also began to call for help. A little pink who once insulted Wuhan writer Fang Fang's call for help was not only ignored by the government, but also ridiculed by other netizens.
A few days ago, this Xi’an netizen posted on Weibo saying that he asked the authorities to appraise him for disability so that he could apply for subsidies for the disabled but he was ignored by the authorities. At present, because Xi’an is closed, his condition has worsened due to his inability to buy medicines. He was desperate and faced family destruction. Therefore, he publicly called for help, and publicly raised his Alipay account.

Claimed shooter insults Fang Fang and shows no remorse, netizens insult him in return
The netizen also claimed that he was a shooting athlete but when he was 13 years old, he was injured by a teammate and became disabled. The official compensation was only RMB 30,000. After three years, he began to be indifferent to him. His current physical condition is getting worse. The situation is getting worse, requiring hundreds of thousands or even millions of treatment costs but his family has long been in debt.
However, some netizens searched this person's past blog posts and found that he had always claimed to be "patriotic." Last year, with many little pinks, he insulted Fang Fang, the writer who published the "Wuhan Diary". Therefore, not only did he fail to raise funds, he was ridiculed by many netizens' comments.
Some netizens imitated his insulting Fangfang and criticized him for "don't hand knives to foreign forces to discredit my powerful motherland."
In the face of criticism from netizens, the netizen did not show remorse for insulting Fang Fang, but continued to attack Fang Fang as a rumor. The official remains silent on his plight.
Radio Free Asia quoted an anonymous netizen who had served as the secretary of the local political and legal committee and pointed out that even if such a disadvantaged person desperately displays the so-called "positive energy", it will not attract official attention.
An internet commentator in China wrote that the netizen who had abused Fang Fang had “desperate eyes, helpless howling, and embarrassing situation, which makes people feel uncomfortable.” “They only think about it when the iron fist falls on the individual's head. They need someone to speak up for them."

CCP deceive people with "patriotic propaganda", deceived netizens besiege rights defenders
In recent years, the CCP has stepped up its efforts to deceive the people with "patriotic propaganda", and many deceived netizens have therefore besieged dissidents and rights defenders. However, the CCP’s disregard of human rights and life tends to quickly counteract the deceived people. In the past year, from insulting Fang Fang's little pink who was suffering from cancer and having nowhere to ask for help, to the performance of the little pink wife of the victims of Zhengzhou Metro Line 5, to the disabled athlete in Xi'an calling for help, many times have caused public opinion backlash.

There is only one month left before the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics. However, the covid epidemic, the CCP’s poor human rights record, and the Peng Shuai incident have triggered international protests, thus casting an ominous shadow over the Beijing Winter Olympics.

Muslim Council calls for international boycott of Beijing Winter Olympics
A few days ago, The Global Imams Council issued a statement calling for the Muslim world to be banned from participating in and attending the Beijing Winter Olympics out of concerns about the human rights situation in Xinjiang, China.
Xia Yeliang, a former professor of economics at Peking University, told Radio Free Asia that this is a very important event for the Muslim world. Although there have been actions to boycott the Olympics in the past, it seems that this is the first time that a religion or a religious group has boycotted the Olympics.
Prior to this, the Biden administration of the United States stated that it had announced a diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympics in consideration of China’s “continuous genocide and humanitarian crimes in Xinjiang, as well as other human rights violations”. Subsequently, US allies such as Australia, Canada, Japan, and the United Kingdom followed up and boycotted it.
Antoine Bondaz, a researcher at the French Strategic Research Foundation, told Agence France-Presse that the Winter Olympics will be more important to China’s domestic politics than to the international community. The Chinese authorities hope to show the Chinese people the country’s international status. However, after the United States, Japan, Britain and other countries announced their diplomatic boycotts, the CCP faced an extremely complicated and difficult equation at the diplomatic level and had to do everything possible to stop losses.

How did the Peng Shuai incident develop? The CCP is not sure
In early November 2021, Peng Shuai, the world’s female Internet star, accused former Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli of “forcing to have sex with her”, which aroused the attention of international public opinion and further promoted the international community to boycott the Beijing Winter Olympics.
Although Peng Shuai was mysteriously disappeared for a period of time, she appeared under official arrangements and denied being "sexually assaulted." However, the CCP's "television confession" type of operation cannot solve the outside world's doubts about Peng Shuai's personal safety and freedom.
China expert Bondaz believes that the CCP is not sure how the Peng Shuai incident, which had a huge impact on the Winter Olympics, will develop.
He said that the Chinese Communist Party will continue to send images of Peng Shuai to avoid a crisis during the Winter Olympics but the question is whether non-governmental organizations, civil society, and foreign opinion leaders will mobilize a few days before the opening of the Olympic Games to resist. The CCP can neither guide nor stop it.
According to Bondaz analysis, people often say that the CCP does not care about its own image. In fact, the image problem is extremely important. Around the world, some governments and civil society are publishing articles against the CCP. This is a serious problem. The image cost paid by the CCP will be huge.

The covid epidemic affects the Winter Olympics
In addition, due to the impact of the covid epidemic, the North American professional ice hockey league NHL has recently announced that it will not participate in the Beijing Winter Olympics. It remains to be seen whether more sports teams will retire in the future.
As for the star players expected by the audience, American ski star Mikaela Shiffrin recently tested positive for the virus, which may affect her competition.
The Winter Olympics will be held in a "bubble" composed of nearly 3,000 athletes and staff, and will become a major sports event with the strictest epidemic prevention restrictions.
However, a new wave of peaks of the epidemic has recently appeared in China, especially Xi'an has to be locked down due to the epidemic.
Xia Yeliang is not very optimistic about the Beijing Winter Olympics. He said, “Xi’an has been closed for more than ten days now, and the local government’s approach has not made substantial progress compared to the Wuhan epidemic. Their mechanism is very rigid.”
Yang Weidong, a Chinese artist who was born in a family of sports, said that Beijing may not have an out-of-control epidemic situation like Xi'an. If it does, they may conceal the epidemic.
In recent days, the lack of food, lack of medicine, poor isolation conditions, and epidemic prevention personnel beating people out to buy food after the closure of Xi’an has aroused public concern.
The Xi’an authorities ordered the realization of “zero-covid” on 4 January. Wen Zhao, a current affairs commentator, said in his self-media program that why Xi’an is eager to clear it should be related to the Winter Olympics, suppressing the epidemic but the situation is not optimistic. He predicted that Xi'an may not be the last city in China to be closed.

Xi'an compulsory clearing, people expose quarantine measures are chaotic and out of control
Reporter : Jin Shi / Special correspondent : Luo Ya / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2022/01/03/a103311858.html / Image : Video Screenshot
On the 12th day of Xi’an’s lockdown, many residents were taken to other places for quarantine overnight, and there were also many signs of epidemic prevention in Xi’an. Some people say that the local isolation management has been out of control.
On 3 January 2021, Xi'an was closed for 12 days. Not only was there insufficient food supply in the local area, but also the quarantine measures were exposed to chaos.
People in Xi'an said, "Let's take a look and pull us to quarantine. If we are required to stand here, no one is in charge. Everyone gathers here and cross-infects."
The video taken by netizens showed that the accommodation environment in the isolation center was terrible, and there was no heating equipment.
A resident of Xi'an said, "There is no heating, there is nothing. There is a lot of dust on it, and no one has lived in it for a long time."
In addition, some people were sent to a designated hotel to prepare for isolation, but they were told by the hotel that they had no rooms, and they had to wait in the cold wind.
A resident from Xi'an said, "We were taken to the Liyuan Hotel, but when we arrived, we found that there were no more rooms. We had about 80 to 100 people. Everyone has been standing in the cold wind for almost two hours."
Cai Xia, a former professor of the Party School of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, also shared the videos and photos taken by people in Xi'an on Twitter on the 2nd. The content shows that some households in Xi'an have "epidemic prevention seals" affixed to their doors, with slogans such as "If you don't go out at home, you will do your duty."
There is also a video showing that anti-epidemic personnel in Xi'an are wearing heavy biochemical suits. Netizens exclaimed, what happened to Xi'an?
Cai Xia said that in 2020 Wuhan did not see such a scene, "the mainland Xi authorities hide all the truth in a black hole."
Ms. Zhang, a citizen of Xi'an: "Let me just say, Xi'an has spread to such a large area at once, oops."
Mr. Wang, a citizen of Xi’an: "After the city was closed down, it started to be a bit more relaxed. By the 27th and 28th, it was completely stuck and no one was allowed to leave the community. It was said that the first batch of vegetables would be delivered to the residents on the 30th. In the hands, a few days have passed."
The Chinese Communist Party officially notified that as of 12 am on 3 January 2022, 90 new local confirmed cases were reported in Xi’an. Since 9 December, Xi'an has reported 1,663 local confirmed cases. However, the outside world believes that the real situation may be far more than the published figures.

On the 13th day of Xi’an’s lockdown, the covid epidemic continued to expand. In order to achieve the goal of zeroing the epidemic on 4 January 2021, the authorities accelerated the speed of pulling people into remote quarantine. Many quarantine points are already full, and the construction of square cabin hospitals is stepping up. There are also reports of people being quarantined under the viaduct, triggering controversy.
Recently, Xi’an has speeded up pulling people to other places for isolation, and buses can be seen moving in and out of the community day and night to pull residents away. On 3 January, a netizen posted a video showing that the isolation point in Zhashui County did not even have a bed, so they could only sleep on the floor; there was also a tunnel under the viaduct that had already prepared a lot of beds as an isolation point. The netizen could not help smiling.
Mr. Li, a citizen of Xi’an, said, “It is definitely going to be taken away when it is found out. It may be that this area was transferred out because it is infecting each other. The local government should bear great responsibility for this matter. At that time, this issue was not taken seriously. Xi'an is closed. I am very disappointed with the status quo in China and cannot tell the truth."
It is understood that all hotels in Xi’an are currently full, and shelter hospitals are being built. Some residents have been dragged to isolation points such as public rental housing and resettlement houses. Many people report that the facilities are poor.
Mr. Wang, a citizen of Xi’an, said, "Now stay at home and keep everyone at home and not let them out. Close contacts or those suspected of being infected are desperately going to the hotel or some private houses. They are inhumane and almost let you I’m starving to death, saving you from going out and infecting a large number of people."
Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee Secretary Liu Guozhong claimed on 1 January that Xi'an "must achieve the goal of zeroing the society on 4 January" but the citizens did not believe it.
Mr. Wang, a citizen of Xi’an, said, "Deceiving the top and the bottom, the epidemic in Yanta District of Xi’an is extremely serious. How can he clear it? He will not deal with the provincial governor and the secretary of the provincial party committee. The governor and secretary of the provincial party committee who were transferred from other places one by one messed up and went to serve as officials elsewhere."
Online video shows that the food items of residents of Nanzhang Village in Xi’an are in short supply. Many villagers waited in the cold wind in the early morning of the 4th, only for a package of noodle relief; the relief supplies in Xiabeiliang Village, Chang'an District, were privately distributed and resold.

Sun Chunlan's death order is cleared? "Quarrels" in Xi'an
Image of a Xianyang area where there are scattered tombs : Researcher's Picture
In the morning of 3 January 2022, a netizen said in an email that he had just learned from a "friend" that "the Xi'an government has a lot of complaints about the zero-covid policy on 4 January." The "friend" mentioned by this netizen is the friend who worked in the Xi'an government mentioned twice in our previous program.
The friend told netizens, “The Xi'an government is generally bored and discouraged in handling this epidemic, and it is generally believed that this epidemic is an unprecedented public crisis.”
Another friend also mentioned the "quarrel" within the Xi'an government in the email dated 2 January. This friend said that Xi'an’s measures are so strict and that they have become like this. The decision-making level is under great pressure. “There are staff members in the government who quarrel with their bosses every day.
A netizen said, “Some people within the Xi'an government have lost confidence in the government and are considering resigning after the epidemic is over.” And “many anti-epidemic personnel are very dissatisfied with some policies of the Xi'an government, but they just can't bear it.”
The email also mentioned, “This time the high-level officials may know the real situation in Xi’an and are very angry. A large number of local officials may suffer.”
I still cannot confirm the news of netizens but now in Xi'an, the situation mentioned in the email has indeed occurred. For example, Wang Bin, secretary of the Yanta District Party Committee, and Cui Shiyue, the mayor of Yanta District, have been dismissed, and Yang Jianqiang, the deputy mayor of Xi'an, concurrently serves as the secretary of the Yanta District Party Committee. For example, it must be cleared before 12 am of 4 January, which can be confirmed in many news.
The way the authorities dealt with it was to throw out two scapegoats on the one hand to make them bear the blame for the previous disadvantages in the Yanta District's fight against the epidemic; on the other hand, it created a chilling effect in order to implement more stringent prevention and control policies.
In a screenshot, a volunteer advised neighbors, “As long as you can live with a bit of food and drink at home, don’t go downstairs.” Because “the provincial government issued a military order to the central government, and it must be cleared at 12 o’clock in the evening on the 4th. "Zero", the "decisive moment" is coming soon.
Netizens pointed out that this "death order" was put forward by Vice Premier Sun Chunlan of the Communist Party of China, and officials from the Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Health and Health, and the State Council Working Group were "in charge" in Xi'an. Moreover, all districts in Xi'an have issued a "military order", and "the community must be cleared" before the 4th, and "the minutes of the meeting have been issued to the district offices."
To put it bluntly, it means that under the "zero-clearing policy" of the authorities, pressure is applied layer by layer. The ultimate victims are undoubtedly the people of Xi'an. Netizens said, "Isolation measures are very tough."
According to reports, Xi'an has been in a "wartime state" since New Year's Day, and all suspicious persons have been "cleared in centralized control" and "isolated in remote places." Xi'an City dispatched nearly 30,000 police officers to participate in the closure of the city, and transferred a large number of personnel from local areas to support Xi'an. More than 1,000 people were transferred from Lintong alone.
A video shows that in Xi'an under the night of yesterday (2nd), there were many buses parked on a certain street, which filled the whole street. Netizens specifically marked in the screenshot, "This is a transfer of personnel from the city to other places." Netizens did not say how many people were transferred to other places, but the number of people watching cars should not be small.
In another video, a shelter hospital somewhere is under construction, and several cranes are busy working. From a distance, the Fangcang shelter hospital has basically taken shape.

Xi'an has reported a decline in cases but the authorities want to attack
Under the "death order" of the authorities, it was really "immediate", and the number of newly confirmed cases on the 3rd dropped immediately. The Shaanxi Provincial Health Commission reported that there were 92 new cases in the province on the 2nd, including 90 cases in Xi'an. In particular, the authorities stated, “This is the first time that Xi’an’s local confirmed cases have experienced a significant decline after the number of newly diagnosed cases exceeded 100 for 8 consecutive days.”
Netizens mocked in the email that under the "military order", the number of confirmed diagnoses in Xi'an today did not exceed one hundred. "I can feel that the'party is really too great.' It calls the virus non-proliferation so that it can be non-proliferation, and the number of confirmed cases is immediately held down."
Liu Guozhong, secretary of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee, said yesterday (2nd) that "now we have entered the general stage of fighting the virus." He demanded that "the prevention and control of urban blocks must be the top priority, and the goal of zero social transmission must be achieved as soon as possible."
Liu Guozhong's "fighting against the virus" has entered the "general offensive" stage, which is a very interesting expression. This means it's like fighting a battle with the virus, and now it's time for the final battle.
However, I do not know whether the CCP is going to fight the virus or the people. The CCP’s extreme measures are all measures against people but they are powerless against the virus.
There is a story circulating on the Internet. Someone called a friend in Xi'an and asked if the epidemic in Xi'an was under control. The friend from Xi’an replied that I don’t know if the epidemic is under control, but I know that people are really under control.
Please note that the authorities emphasized "zero social transmission", not "zero epidemic situation." The so-called "social zero transmission" may refer to the "clearing" of communities in Xi'an. In other words, it requires that all the nucleic acid tests in the communities are negative. As long as there are no "positives" in the community, it can be said that the goal of "zeroing" has been reached, and it can even claim that it has achieved a phased "victory."
How can we achieve "zero social transmission" in a limited time? The authorities' approach is simple. As long as one person in a building is positive, all the people in the building will be taken away and quarantined.
Xi’an citizen Wang Qin (pseudonym) told The Epoch Times, “The community is very contagious. Panjiazhuang Village and the vicinity of the TV Tower in Yanta District have become hard-hit areas, and people have been taken away (centrally quarantined).”
Wang Qin said, “More than ten million people are under tremendous pressure, and students have not been on vacation. The infection is very serious in the school campus, coupled with community transmission, alas, it is really a lot of pressure.”
In fact, Xi'an has a population of nearly 13 million, and the authorities may be part of the centralized quarantine. There are still many people who have not been taken away from quarantine, but have been locked down in their own community. So let's talk about it in two ways. First, let's talk about the situation of the people in Xi'an who have been locked down in the epidemic area.

Hospitals refused to accept patients, dragged to death, pets culled
A netizen in Xi’an said on Weibo that his father had a heart attack, but many hospitals in Xi’an did not receive treatment. Although the nucleic acid report has everything, but because they are in a "medium risk area", the hospital refused to accept them. "News Insights"
This netizen called 110 to the police, and 110 said "don't care." Call 120 for first aid, but 120 has been busy and could not get through. Epidemic prevention calls are always busy. This netizen asked the netizens for help on Weibo, saying that he was "extremely anxious" and "dare not imagine what will happen if we delay."
At 11.40 pm, he "edited while crying" the message stated that his father was finally sent to the hospital at 2 in the afternoon. However, the hospital has always refused to accept them on the grounds that they are in a medium-risk area, and they are not allowed to hold nucleic acids.
However, the doctor said that the myocardial infarction was admitted to the hospital within two hours, and it was enough to dissolve. "Now the delay is too long, the blood vessel blockage is very critical and serious and requires immediate surgery." When he sent this message, his father was undergoing an operation, but then he sent a third message, "The delay is too long," Rescue failed", his father passed away.
The grandfather of a netizen appeared in a coma and called "all the calls are unattended, shirk each other." I ran to several hospitals the next day, but the last one went in, but the rescue was ineffective. That night, the person had been cremated.
Another netizen said in a post that her aunt had a stomachache at 7pm on New Year's Day, and she was busy calling 120. In desperation, he called 110 and was sent to Xi'an High-tech Hospital but it was already 10 o'clock in the evening.
When he arrived at the hospital, he was not allowed to enter at the door, saying that the nucleic acid took more than 4 hours. No way, the netizen’s aunt sat at the door for a while. As a result, the delay was too long and "caused heavy bleeding." Netizens saw her aunt in the video "blood flowing down the chair and pants, the ground is full of blood".
The hospital saw that "it's not working anymore", so he accepted the doctor. However, after being sent to the operating room, the 8-month-old child had a miscarriage due to delayed treatment.
Another netizen posted in "Xiaohongshu" that her grandfather had a heart attack on Christmas Day. He had made countless 120 calls, but it has been difficult to get through. Finally it got through, and medical staff came. The man was pulled out of the complex by an ambulance three times, but there was no hospital to accept the patient, and he was eventually sent home.
In fact, at this time, if everyone can shout "Down with the Communist Party", "Down with the CCP's tyranny," or shout "Falun Dafa is good," maybe the police will soon appear. Maybe they would take people away, but maybe they could save their lives.
I do not know if I should call these hospitals hospitals or rename them "execution grounds". Under the CCP's inhumane anti-epidemic policy, they "stick to" the "bottom line" of epidemic prevention. And this "sticking to" the so-called "bottom line" is actually killing people in disguise. As long as you don't bring the CCP virus, as for the death of other problems, you can die as long as you love. That is not a problem for the CCP.
Think about it, everyone, what is the CCP’s policy of “clearing zero” for epidemic prevention? Is it a tentacle of the devil? It uses this policy to control people's violence at home, no matter what, it just keeps you from going out. When you go out, various obstacles are set up for you, eventually dragging people to death step by step.
Netizens say that Xi'an is carrying out the "massage". Think about it, is there any truth in this statement? Did the CCP create a "massage" in Xi'an?
Not only that, pets kept by residents have also become targets of culling, and epidemic prevention personnel come to "euthanize" the pets kept by residents. In a WeChat group, some netizens said that the CCP’s anti-epidemic personnel “have come to the door to euthanize pets” on the eight-mile side of Changfeng Park and Mingde in Xi’an.

Xi'an man faints from hunger, his grandfather has not eaten for 3 days
On 2 January, I saw a video showing that in Xi'an, anti-epidemic personnel have already put on heavy biochemical suits. This is a yellow biochemical suit with its own oxygen cylinder, which looks even more tense. The Wuhan epidemic in 2020 was so severe, and I did not see equipment wearing such heavy-duty biochemical suits but it has now appeared in Xi'an.
This situation inevitably makes people wonder whether this is the cause of another type of "hemorrhagic fever"? There was news a few days ago that the "hemorrhagic fever" in Xi'an was even worse than the CCP virus epidemic. However, there was very little news in this regard later, and more media, including the Chinese Communist Party authorities, only reported the situation of the covid epidemic.
If it is not because of "hemorrhagic fever", does the use of this heavy-duty biochemical suit by the authorities mean that the epidemic in Xi'an is very serious? Is Xi'an's prevention and control policy to be more stringent? Will anyone suffer from various diseases in the future?
A netizen sent me a video on 3 January. The video showed a man lying in front of a resident's house with a person in work clothes interrogating next to him. Because he spoke in a dialect, it is not clear what is being said. Netizens stated in the text that the man lives in Dongwei Village. Because he ate instant noodles once a day, he fainted due to low blood sugar.
I have noticed that there are many posts asking for help on the Internet, and the situation mentioned in each post is shocking.
A netizen said in a WeChat group that the nucleic acid staff found that a grandfather on the 24th floor of Unit One had not eaten for 3 days.
A netizen living in Fengcheng 4th Road, Weiyang District, "urgently ask for help" yesterday (2nd). The wife of a baby who is more than two months old at home has no breast milk, but the formula has been weaned for 5 days. The courier was stuck, 110 asked him to find the epidemic prevention office, the epidemic prevention office asked him to find the street office, and the street office asked him to find the 12345 mayor hotline. 12345 made a grade, but waited for 4 days in the middle, made countless calls, and finally told "wait".
This netizen said, "It's not okay to ask for volunteers, and don't let go of the community." Now there is nothing at home, and nothing can be grabbed on the Internet. At present, the child is "drinking rice soup."

Isolate "Blood, Tears and Sadness": Do you want my blood to flow into a river?
This is the case with people in Xi'an, and those who are taken away from isolation are also not much better. The aforementioned Xi'an citizen Wang Qin told The Epoch Times that all 3,574 schools in Xi'an have been closed, but the epidemic is still spreading across many campuses. Some students were transferred intensively and evacuated to some nearby express hotels.
Wang Qin believes that these students who were evacuated to the Express Hotel "are considered good, at least someone can deliver food." The isolation situation in Xujiazhuang Community in Yanta District is very difficult.
Wang Qin said that someone was dragged to a place five or six hours’ drive for heating. Doesn't it kill people?"
A netizen sent me two videos, and the photographer was a quarantined Xi'an citizen.
[Original video] Let me show you, this is where we are isolated, public rental housing. The heating is there, just a little bit. For such a big house, look, just this canopy bed, my baby and I will give a quilt.
In another video, the situation is similar. In the empty isolated room, there are only a few very simple items and an iron canopy bed.
Some netizens posted videos on Weibo, and the woman's experience made people feel that the authorities were inhumane. A quarantined woman just in time for her menstrual period, but without sanitary napkins, went downstairs to cry to the epidemic prevention staff. However, the woman's cries were not resolved in the end.
[Original video] Female: Hello, I want to ask, is there anyone else in charge?
Staff: What's wrong?
Woman: Breakfast has not been delivered until now.
Staff: Which room are you in?
Female: 1502. Also, I have come to "Auntie", and I don't have sanitary napkins. Since yesterday, I have been calling the mayor’s 12345 hotline, and then no one can handle the matter, and no one came to pick me up from the police. Then I got up early this morning at 7:30, and after I came to the "big aunt", I started to contact you people in the isolation point. I have never logged in since I made a meal service call. No one answered the call accusing the Office of Epidemic Prevention. No one answers the phone number of the part-time work shift, so I just want to ask, is there no one to take care of it? Are you going to starve us to death?
......So am I going to bleed into a river? I called 110, and 110 said that I had to communicate with you and asked you to solve it, and then you said that it couldn't be solved! It really can't. You let me go out by myself! I'm going out, I can buy it myself!
*********
Some netizens said, "They are cleared to make people live better than dead, just for a black hat." Yes, for the black hat on their heads, the CCP officials would rather let the people "blood out" in order to achieve the goal of "clearing" Xi Jinping's authorities become a river of blood".
Faced with the tyranny of death, I do not know how long the Chinese people will have to endure? How long can I bear it? If you bear it step by step, no one will be able to escape the CCP's clutches in the end. Today is these people, tomorrow is those people, the day after tomorrow may be your turn.
Netizens sent me a few videos, showing that the people who were taken away from quarantine were walking back on foot. Because the facilities at the quarantine point are too poor, I can't bear it anymore. A netizen wrote a sentence in the email, "The Chinese people are still more sturdy..."
[Original video] It has aroused public outrage. The isolation facilities are too poor and they are all going back. The police can't control it, and the law doesn't blame the public.
The phrase "the law does not blame the public" said by the video shooter, I hope to inspire the people in Xi'an in the epidemic area and the Chinese people in the red epidemic area. Fear and weakness will only bring more oppression to oneself. The CCP never sympathizes with the weak, and never shows kindness to the weak. It only picks up the weak.
Only when people unite to fight the CCP’s iron fist and fight fearlessly can it be possible to get rid of the CCP’s control. I am not asking everyone to confront the CCP with violence. I am saying that when facing the CCP’s endless violence, everyone must remember that "the law does not account for the people." In fact, the CCP’s draconian law is not for the people, it is a stick that restrains and suppresses the people.
The CCP often "snap the shot" to create a chilling effect and make people succumb with fear. And when people face the CCP’s iron fist, as long as someone stands up bravely, other kneeling people should stand up together and face the CCP together.
Even a roar will panic the CCP. Then the "chilling effect" created by the CCP has failed, and the moment it will withdraw from the stage of history is not far away.
This moment is not far away, just waiting for the people's wisdom and fearlessness to see through the CCP.

Image : Real "Liu Yazhou" exposed? ! Tsai Ing-wen warned Beijing "radicals". (Dayu News Insider)
News (29)
The truth about Liu Yazhou being arrested! Great influence, someone from the princeling is helping
In late December 2021, it was reported that General Liu Yazhou, the son-in-law of former Chinese President Li Xiannian, had been arrested, saying that he planned an anti-Xi Jinping military coup.
However, Liu Yazhou and Liu Shaoqi’s son Liu Yuan and others were originally the princelings that Xi Jinping "relied on" in the military. In a sense, it was Xi Jinping who was promoted to general by Liu Yazhou. However, Liu Yazhou and Liu Yuan were both marginalized. In January 2017, Liu Yazhou was also removed from his post. The direct reason was that he had an affair with a former female member of the art troupe, but the real reason should not be the case, just like Liu Yazhou recently reported. "The coup" is the same thing.
The dismissed Liu Yazhou has expressed his dissatisfaction with Xi Jinping in many public meetings within the princeling party, and Liu Yazhou has a great influence in the princeling party.
The Australian jurist "Yuan Hongbing" recently accepted an interview with the overseas media Vision Times and once again revealed the inside story about Liu Yazhou's incident. First of all, Yuan Hongbing said that a source within the CCP revealed to him that Liu Yazhou was not formally arrested, but was "internally controlled" by Xi Jinping. It is still unclear how to deal with it next. And the CCP princeling, who has been acquainted with Liu Yazhou, is currently trying to rescue him.
What is even more surprising is that Yuan Hongbing said that the outside world had misunderstood Liu Yazhou's position before, or even the opposite.

Liu Yazhou's true attitude towards Taiwan is exposed and wants to replace Xi Jinping
Liu Yazhou actually supports the authorities in fighting Taiwan. The "contradictory point" between him and the Xi Jinping authorities is that Liu Yazhou believes that Xi Jinping does not have this ability and wants to "change the commander" to advance military reunification. Adopting such a radical proposition against Taiwan is the result of Liu Yazhou's changes in recent years.
He believes that the CCP has engaged in a united front with Taiwan for decades, and most people in Taiwan have become more and more clear about their will to refuse to be reunified by the CCP. He feels that this shows that the CCP’s united front strategy has failed, so "army reunification" has become the only option; At the same time, he believes that this battle against Taiwan is a gamble that takes the fate of the CCP as a bet. This battle will inevitably trigger a decisive contest between the CCP, the United States and Japan.
Liu Yazhou once expressed a point of view in his "Competition Silent" propaganda as the chief planner, saying that a decisive battle between the CCP and the United States has begun in recent years, and proposed that the CCP should replace the United States and become the setter of the new international order. When the "armed reunification" began, the CCP faced a decisive battle with the United States and Japan. Therefore, although he supports the fight against Taiwan, he believes that facing such a big "gambling" and a potential "decisive battle", Xi Jinping is incapable of the task, without strategic vision, courage and talents, and he cannot win this war. So I want to prevent Xi Jinping from taking office in Dalian in 20 years and replace him with others.
The above information provided by Yuan Hongbing is different from the previous "military coup" from a writer with the surname "Bi" in Beijing. There are two differences: First, Liu Yazhou's deterioration is actually supporting the fight against Taiwan, but he just feels that Xi is incompetent. Replace him; secondly, the so-called "military coup" may not have developed to the point of conflagration, but it is indeed being carried out in a certain way, and does not want Xi Jinping to succeed in 20 Dalian. These are the real reasons why Liu Yazhou was "internally controlled" by Xi Jinping.
News (31)
Many princelings support "strike Jiang" and believe that Xi "threatens" them in recent years
In addition, Liu Yazhou, like many CCP princelings, regards China as the inheritable "asset" of their princelings. Therefore, only the princelings have the privilege of corruption and abuse of power. Similar to those of the Jiang faction, they are just a group of princeling workers who “made a fortune” with Jiang Zemin. They are not worthy of “corruption”, let alone having the “privilege” of dominating the world. There may be other reasons. But this is at least one of the mentalities of the princelings.
Therefore, when Xi Jinping came to power, the princelings, including Liu Yazhou, would unanimously support Xi Jinping, who is also a princeling, to "fight the tiger" and purge the Jiang faction.
These CCP princelings have used their privileges to transfer astronomical assets from the mainland to overseas. Xi Jinping's further grasp of power and the deterioration of Sino-US relations in foreign policy have threatened their huge overseas assets. In terms of assets, interests, and privileges, other princelings are becoming more and more "marginalized." This may be one of the important reasons why princelings like Liu Yazhou are now opposing Xi. Simply put, it means "uneven distribution of spoils."
According to the current news, Liu Yazhou’s dissatisfaction with Xi Jinping represents the position of the core members of the princeling party. This is quite dangerous for Xi. If the core group of the princelings oppose him, the power struggle that follows will be severe. .

Xi’s New Year’s greetings and then call for unity, and talk about “self-revolution” by borrowing Mao’s "Cave Dwelling Pair"
It is no wonder that Xi Jinping did not mention many important events at all in his so-called New Year's greetings, but he preferred the so-called "self-revolution within the party."
On the evening of December 31st just past, Xi Jinping, as usual, issued a new year message for 2022. Except for the same eulogies, there is no mention of Xi'an’s ban on the city under the strict zero-clearing policy, and the resulting hunger and survival crisis of the people. There is also no mention of Zhengzhou floods or the tragedy of 21 people dying in the Gansu Silver Marathon and so on.
However, Xi Jinping specifically mentioned Mao Zedong and Huang Yanpei's "Cave Dwelling Pair". This "cave dwelling pair" was on the eve of Japan's unconditional surrender in July 1945. In order to facilitate negotiations between the KMT and the Communist Party, Huang Yanpei, Fu Sinian, and Zhang Bojun visited Yan'an as politicians in the National Political Council. Huang Yanpei and Mao Zedong were in the "cave dwelling" in Yan'an where they had a deep talk.
Huang Yanpei said at the time that during his sixty-odd years of career, he had witnessed the rise and fall of his own eyes, which could be described as "the rise and fall" and "the death and the sudden". He said that this is a "periodical law." However, Mao’s answer at the time would make the current people go crazy. He said that the CCP has found a new way to break out of the cyclical rate. This "cyclical law" is democracy. Let the people supervise the government so that there will be no "political death".
Citing this history, Xi Jinping mentioned two points. The first is that Mao Zedong gave the first answer that breaks the law of rise and fall, which is "the people supervise the government." After so many years, Xi Jinping said that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, it is After he came to power, the CCP gave the second answer, which is "self-revolution."
Let me translate for him. What he calls "self-revolution" is to weed out dissidents in the party. Among them, there are gangsters like Jiang faction, daring people like Ren Zhiqiang, and dissatisfied people like "Liu Yazhou".
Of course, the so-called "cave dwellings", there is another thing, also known as "cave dwellings", that is, in September 1947, Mao Zedong answered 12 questions from Reuters reporters in writing.
Among them, one question is how to define a "free and democratic China". Mao Zedong’s answer is: In a free and democratic China, governments at all levels up to the central government are elected by universal and equal secret ballots. The government is responsible to the people who elected them. This will realize Mr. Sun Yat-sen’s Three Principles of the People and realize Lincoln’s people’s ownership. A government that is governed by the people and enjoyed by the people will also realize the four freedoms Roosevelt proposed, namely, freedom of speech, freedom of belief, freedom from fear, and freedom from poverty. Mao Zedong's remarks were published in important positions and headlines of the "Xinhua Daily" and "Liberation Daily" that year.
From then to now, the Communist Party has been packaging itself with the most beautiful lies, but doing the most nasty things. I think everyone has already felt deeply about this. Even if it's a little pink, I want to see the most perfect speeches of old and modern China and foreign countries that mentioned Sun Yat-sen, Lincoln and Roosevelt's beautiful vision of freedom and democracy. It is inevitable that two words will pop up casually: nonsense.
Xi Jinping's recent call for "full-process democracy" is to use the so-called "democracy" of the Communist Party to counteract the increasingly strong criticism of the West. Today, quoting this "cave dwelling" from that year has the same purpose, but it also reveals Xi Jinping's The idea is that he wants to become a man like Mao Zedong and open up a new era for the CCP, a "new era" that continues to struggle, continue to destroy, and continue to strengthen the Communist dictatorship.
In his New Year’s greetings, Xi Jinping did not forget to mention cross-strait reunification, saying that achieving complete cross-strait reunification is the "common aspiration" of the people of the mainland and Taiwan, and he also mentioned the "one country, two systems" that is so stinking in Hong Kong, etc. But the word "wutong" was not mentioned.
From Xi Jinping's "New Year's Message", we can perceive that one of his "fears" is his fear of further deterioration of relations with the West. From his mention of "people's supervision of the government", echoing the so-called "full-process democracy", mentioning "one country, two systems" but not "armed reunification", this fully shows that he does not want to further intensify the contradiction with the West, and he has not shown a more radical posture.

Tsai Ing-wen’s New Year’s speech calls for no submission and warns against Beijing’s internal "radicals"
On the second day of Xi Jinping’s New Year’s message, Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen also delivered a New Year’s address. She also talked about cross-strait relations, calling Beijing that “not succumbing to pressure and not advancing if you get support” is Taiwan’s consistent position. He also warned Beijing not to misjudge the situation, but also to prevent the expansion of internal "military adventurism". This "military adventurism" argument echoes the Liu Yazhou incident we talked about at the beginning of the program. There are such "aggressive" calls within the CCP. It seems that the Taiwanese government also has intelligence in this regard.
In addition, Tsai Ing-wen also mentioned the "epidemic" and "referendum", saying that these are tests of Taiwan's unity and civic quality. She also talked about his goal of governing in the new year, which is to "rule steadily," saying that the Taiwan government will uphold its sovereignty, uphold freedom and democracy, defend its territory, and maintain peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific.
Cross-strait issues, the spread of the Chinese Communist Party virus plague, etc., are topics that have always been hotly discussed. The plague, which has lasted for two full years, has now entered its third year with all mankind.

Blinken spoke with NATO 9 foreign ministers in support of Lithuania's fight against the Chinese Communist Party
Reporter : Chen Ting / Editor : Ye Ziwei / https://www.epochtimes.com/gb/22/1/4/n13480218.htm
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke with the foreign ministers of the nine NATO East Wing member states on Monday (January 3). The State Council stated that Blinken and foreign ministers emphasized that in the face of the escalating political pressure and economic coercion of the CCP, they unanimously support Lithuania.
After Lithuania and Taiwan established mutual representative offices last year, Beijing was dissatisfied. The ambassador to Lithuania was immediately recalled and a series of political and economic sanctions were launched. Lithuania’s trade with China was also frequently hindered, which aroused the concerns of many European and American countries.
Recently, when Blinken spoke with the foreign ministers of Italy, France, Germany, the United Kingdom and the European Union, they all talked about this one after another, and firmly supported Lithuania in resisting Beijing's coercion.
Blinken spoke with the foreign minister of Bucharest Nine (B9) in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) on Monday. The CCP's coercion of Lithuania once again became one of the main topics of discussion.
B9 was jointly initiated by Poland and Romania, and the first summit was held in Bucharest in 2015. Its members are the nine East Wing member states of NATO, including Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Hungary.
According to a summary of the call released by the US State Department spokesperson Ned Price, Blinken and the B9 Foreign Minister emphasized that they would work together to support Lithuania when the CCP's coercion escalated.
Price said, “They emphasized that they stand with Lithuania in the face of the escalating political pressure and economic coercion of the People’s Republic of China. The Secretary of State emphasized the United States’ firm commitment to transatlantic security and the NATO Article 5 Convention.”
In fact, the CCP’s pressure on Lithuania has attracted close attention from many European and American countries. Analysts pointed out that some European politicians seem to regard Beijing’s coercion of Lithuania as a threat to Europe.
On 23 December, the co-chairs and core members of the 25 European "Formosa Club" (Formosa Club) jointly sent a letter to the European Council and the Executive Committee to assist Lithuania in countering the economic coercion of the CCP. means.
At the end of last year, a batch of Lithuanian rum sent to China was rejected by the CCP and forced to drift at sea. The European Union said that it will assess whether Beijing violates WTO rules. Subsequently, this batch of rum was purchased from Taiwan.
At the end of December, Taiwan’s general economist Wu Jialong wrote on Facebook that Lithuania’s quasi-severance of diplomatic relations with the CCP may have a domino effect. (Link)
"This time the global anti-communist wave is no longer a confrontation between the capitalist camp and the socialist camp, but a confrontation between the democratic camp and the autocratic camp." Wu Jialong said that in the past, Europe believed that the threat came from Russia, but the incident in Lithuania made Europe revise its strategic views and formed a global anti-communist wave.
"Diplomatic competition is also a war of attrition, which will bring down the CCP's finances and make it unable to cope with the endless debt crises in the future." He added.
In addition to talking about Beijing’s coercion of Lithuania, Blinken and foreign ministers also discussed the destabilization of Russia’s increase in troops on the Ukrainian border.
“Secretaries of State and Foreign Ministers discussed Russia’s destabilizing military build-up on the Ukrainian border,” Price said. “NATO must be prepared to adopt a united and resolute stand to collectively defend its allies, and on issues of common concern, for transatlantic cooperation."
Blinken emphasized that the United States is committed to continuing close communication and cooperation with transatlantic allies, and working hard to reduce tensions through deterrence, defense and dialogue.

The President of Lithuania said it was wrong to set up a "Taiwan" representative office. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Standing upright and unchanged
Lithuanian President Nausėda said that the decision by the Lithuanian government to allow Taiwan to open a representative office in Lithuania under the name of "Taiwan" was a mistake. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said at night of 4 January 2022 that based on diplomatic practices, it is inconvenient to comment on the internal policy decision-making process of other governments but Taiwan’s determination to support the Lithuanian government will not change.
Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda said in an interview with the radio station, "I would think that it is not the opening of the Taiwan representative office that is wrong, but the name of Taiwan. I have not been consulted on this matter." He said that both Lithuania and Taiwan can freely open representative offices without diplomatic status but he regrets that "the name of the representative office has now become a key factor affecting relations with China."
The relationship between officials of the senior government of Lithuania is currently poor. According to a report by the Lithuanian National Radio and Television Station (LRT) in November 2021, Nausėda and Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė have not met for two months, which is contrary to the previous practice of meeting every Monday. According to the two analysts quoted by the LRT, the relationship between Nausėda and Symonite has been significantly strained since the 2019 presidential election duel. Now the presidential palace and the cabinet clearly have differences.
The Republic of China Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ou Jiang'an said in the evening that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs pays attention to Nausėda’s views on the development of relations between the Lithuanian government and Taiwan and the name of the approved establishment.
However, due to diplomatic practice, it is inconvenient for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to publish comments on the internal policy decision process of other governments. However, Ou Jiangan said that the Lithuanian government concerned was subjected to comprehensive suppression by China only for agreeing to establish a branch under the name of Taiwan, which affected private enterprises, the overall development of the country and the livelihoods of the people.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reiterated that Taiwan’s determination to stand firm will not change.

Taiwan condemns CCP's despicable methods of political oppression and economic boycott of Lithuania
Ou Jiangan stated that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sternly condemns the Chinese government's various despicable methods for political oppression and economic boycott of Lithuania.
At a critical moment when the Lithuanian government and people desperately need the support of the international community, Taiwan is convinced that the forces of democratic unity will eventually defeat the bullying of autocracy.
She said that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs once again called on all countries with similar global ideas that adhere to democratic and free systems, free trade and market economic mechanisms to jointly support Lithuania and be a strong backing for Lithuania; let the brave and persevering Lithuania continue to adhere to principles and refrain from foreign persecution. This is to ensure that Lithuania’s national dignity and the right to make independent diplomatic decisions are fully respected.
International joint support can help Lithuania not to set limits due to the oppression of the CCP, and bow to suppressing hegemony.
Ou Jiangan emphasized that the United States, the European Union, European democratic partners, and NATO member states have all stepped up their efforts to support Lithuania.
Taiwan also firmly believes that Lithuania’s decision to develop relations with Taiwan is on the right side of history. She said that Taiwan and Lithuania are solid partners based on freedom and democracy and shared values. In the future, the two sides will continue to strengthen close cooperation in economic and trade investment, industrial chain, supply chain security and other fields on the basis of equality and mutual benefit, and jointly build strong and stable cooperation and a democratic supply chain to enhance the unity and strength of the Global Democratic Alliance.

Speaking for human rights, Los Angeles Chinese use art to boycott the CCP Winter Olympics
Reporter : Yang Yang / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2022/01/04/a103312327.html
On 2 January 2022, some pro-democracy activists in Los Angeles used performance art to boycott the CCP’s Winter Olympics in California's Liberty Sculpture Park where they held an event with the theme "No Human Rights, No Olympics" to boycott the CCP Winter Olympics on the Lennon Wall, the longest in the world. The black background of the display panel represents the dark land of China, and the five-color aura of the Olympics has been changed to a gray barbed wire to represent the prison of Chinese prisoners of conscience.
Chen Weiming, who is mainly responsible for the production of performance art panels, pointed out that under the rule of the CCP, millions of people in Xinjiang were thrown into black prisons, Falun Gong was harvested from live organs, and human rights defenders were missing and imprisoned. Therefore, the CCP is no longer worthy to host the Winter Olympics.
Sculptor Chen Weiming said, "Because China is the country with the worst human rights in the world, Falun Gong, Xinjiang, and Tibet are now suffering from the most difficult human rights conditions on the land of China, so we can no longer let it go. We must tell the world that we cannot China hosts the Olympics."
They believe that the Olympic spirit is "understanding, friendship, unity and fairness." The CCP tried to improve its international image by hosting the Olympics in order to conceal its long-term and widespread violations of human rights.
Liu Yinquan, Chairman of the Chinese Social Democratic Party: "The CCP has been violating human rights in China. They have brutally suppressed Falun Gong and other religious groups. They have also brutally suppressed some other groups, such as pro-democracy activists, dissident groups, and they treat the majority of the people. The masses, workers, peasants, and also unscrupulously violated their human rights. Such a heinous regime is still thinking about hosting the Olympic Games and using this to whitewash peace. Therefore, we must resolutely oppose it."
Today, vehicles driving to and from Highway 15 can see this performance art exhibition board.
They called for the Winter Olympics to only smear the CCP, but not to improve the current human rights situation in China. The whole world should jointly say no to the CCP regime.

Xi'an "clears the society to zero", fears expanding the risk of cross-infection
Reporter : Changchun / Editor : Huang Yimei / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2022/01/04/a103312515.html
The epidemic in Xi'an is the worst city since the lockdown of Wuhan. The official epidemic prevention policies are quite chaotic, causing panic and complaints among the people. In order to achieve "zero social protection," the authorities moved all people in Xi'an to quarantine. The commentary believes that this so-called social reset is to exclude people who may be infected with the epidemic from the scope of statistics and announce the “clearing” to the outside world. In fact, the public may increase the risk of cross-infection.
Within a week of “closing the city” in Xi’an, the hardest hit by the epidemic in China, Sun Chunlan, Vice Premier of the State Council of the Communist Party of China, ordered the implementation of the general policy of “dynamic zeroing” to control the spread of the epidemic.
Unable to stop the spread of the epidemic, the Xi'an authorities demanded that the so-called "social clearance" be realized on 4 January 2022, and a large number of people were taken away for centralized isolation.
The people did not cooperate with the policy and were handcuffed and forcibly taken away.
Public opinion questioned that if people in Xi'an were transferred to other places for isolation, if some cases were not counted as Xi'an, the goal of zeroing would be achieved. Experts believe that Western countries have begun to abandon this blockade policy but the CCP has used extreme methods to control the epidemic. In fact, it has ulterior motives.
Zhu Wei, medical director of a pharmaceutical company in the United States: "In fact, the number of positive cases in Western countries in Europe and the United States may become less and less important. They will pay more attention to the hospitalized cases and death cases but the CCP government has gone the other way. It has now introduced the so-called extreme method of social resetting. I think its urgent purpose is to protect the upcoming Spring Festival and the February 4th. The opening of the Winter Olympics."
Less than a month before the opening of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, in addition to the announcement of diplomatic boycotts by many countries, the severity of the local epidemic and the Peng Shuai incident have not subsided, all of which have clouded the prospects of the Winter Olympics.
Liu Qing, the former chairman of "Human Rights of China", said, "Of course it (the CCP) hopes that before the Olympics, there will be a state of zeroing like Wuhan, so that the Olympics can continue. This is of course also a consideration for them. What it calls zeroing is practical. The above is to rectify people to death. This is how Wuhan rectifies. Actually, how many people there are in Wuhan, no one has said clearly until now."
"Social Clearance" not only pulls people out of the city and quarantines them, but also prohibits people from spreading epidemic videos, especially negative news. The backstage of the WeChat team monitors all WeChat groups. If negative news spreads, this group is immediately blocked. Lose.
Zhu Wei said, "Since the lockdown of Wuhan two years ago, the CCP has been using this zero-clearing policy to control the epidemic. It seems to have embarked on a road of no return. It is difficult to get off the ground. The main reason, I think, may be made in China. The new coronavirus vaccine is actually not effective enough, so it does not import vaccines. If this strict blockade is really lifted, in the absence of herd immunity, the new coronavirus will definitely spread quickly."
Experts believe that once Xi’an’s “Social Clearance” reaches “the successful epidemic prevention on the books”, it may be copied to other cities and towns.
Zhu Wei said, "The social resetting of the concentration camp model that Xi'an has begun to implement now, if it can be proved to be effective, then it is likely to be copied to other cities and towns immediately. If the CCP continues to implement this resetting The policy actually amounts to announcing to the world that its domestic vaccine has no actual effect."
Netizens uploaded videos. On the first day of social resetting, Xi'an Yimatong broke down again, and the people's nucleic acid test could not be done, so the system was reset first.
Liu Qing said, "The zero-clearing method is extremely inhumane, and it cannot be achieved scientifically. Out of the CCP’s understanding and fear of the virus, and its desire to prove its correctness, it has adopted the scientifically infeasible and unachievable approach. This way of clearing. And it’s clearing because it doesn’t care about the people, lives, rights, and protection at all."
The outside world is worried that, in order to achieve the so-called social cleanup, the gathering of quarantined people who are taken out of the city may be at risk of cross-contamination, which will cause greater concern about epidemic prevention.
