U.S. State Department assessed that lab leak was most likely origin of covid
A newly released memo from the U.S. State Department reveals that government officials knew early on that the covid pandemic likely originated at a lab in Wuhan, China.
That memo, dated April 2020, states that out of five possible origins for covid, a lab leak was by far the most likely. The memo also suggests that alternative theories had been introduced to prevent a lab leak from being investigated. The memo, which focuses almost entirely on the likelihood of a lab leak, contains a large amount of information that was not known publicly at the time it was written.

The memo raises the question why Department of State withheld the SARS-CoV-2 origin information from the public
Although a lab leak is now widely accepted as a likely origin for SARS-CoV-2 the virus that causes covid, when the memo was written, a concerted effort was underway to discredit that possibility. It also raises the question of what senior State Department leadership—including then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo—knew and why the information was withheld from the public.

Department of State aware of Wuhan's obsession with collecting and testing virus-carrying bats since April 2020
According to the newly released memo, the State Department knew as of April 2020 that the central issue surrounded an obsession with collecting and testing a massive amount of virus-carrying bats on the part of the Wuhan Institute of Virology and China’s Wuhan Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Earliest-known patient of Wuhan Central Hospital infected with "Bat SARS-like Coronavirus"
The State Department noted that lab testing of the earliest-known patient at the Wuhan Central Hospital in December 2019 determined that the virus was a “Bat SARS-like Coronavirus.” At the time this patient was tested, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) had not disclosed that there was any problem at all.

CCP blamed covid outbreak on pneumonia initially
When they finally acknowledged an outbreak, they initially blamed it on pneumonia. It was only at the end of January that the CCP finally started admitting that COVID-19 was caused by a new virus that was transmitted between humans.
By that time, the virus had already been seeded across the globe and any chance at suppression had been lost. It was during this same period that the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Dr. Anthony Fauci, was made aware of the virus’s likely origin, having been told by a group of scientists whom he was funding that there was a high probability that the virus was engineered.
News (5)
Department of State's insight fully known in late March 2022
Although it has been known since June 2021 that Fauci and the NIH covered up his knowledge of the virus’s origin, the State Department’s early insight into these matters was not fully known until late March 2022, when the transparency group U.S. Right to Know obtained the April 2020 memo.
News (6)
Either of two Wuhan labs is the source of the covid outbreak
The memo, titled “An Analysis of Circumstantial Evidence for Wuhan Labs as the Source of the Coronavirus,” comprises five pages and is written in military BLUF style, meaning “bottom line up front.”
The memo begins by stating that one of two Wuhan labs is the likely source of the covid outbreak. The two labs identified by the state department are the Wuhan CDC’s lab located in downtown Wuhan and the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where Shi Zhengli was known to have conducted dangerous gain-of-function experiments on bat viruses.
The Department of State’s focus on the Wuhan CDC lab as a possible source is particularly significant as that facility is located only a few hundred feet from the Huanan Seafood Market where an already infected customer may have caused a superspreader event in December 2019.
News (7)
Peter Embarek suspects Wuhan CDC lab is the origin of the covid pandemic
Notably, the World Health Organization’s lead investigator of the virus’s origin, Peter Ben Embarek, privately told a Danish TV crew that he suspected that the Wuhan CDC lab was the origin of the pandemic. Embarek, who promoted a natural origin for the virus in his public report, privately noted that the CDC lab had mysteriously moved to its new downtown location in early December and that such a move may have increased the chances of a lab leak or accidental spillage.
The other lab identified by the State Department as the likely source of the pandemic is the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which has been the main focus of attention over the past two years.
The Department of State memo noted that the Wuhan Institute, by far the most logical place to investigate the virus origin, had been completely sealed off from outside inquiry by the CCP. The memo also noted that a gag order regarding both Wuhan labs had been issued on 1 January 2020, and a major general from the People’s Liberation Army had assumed control over the Wuhan Institute of Virology since early January 2020.
The Department of State memo emphatically stated that “All other proposed theories are likely to be a decoy to prevent inquiry to Wuhan CDC and Wuhan Institute of Virology.”
It bears repeating that the memo was written in April 2020.
That is because the State Department’s decoy argument mirrors the actions taken by Fauci and then-National Institutes of Health (NIH) head Dr. Francis Collins who–at the same time this memo was written–were actively suppressing and censoring any public discussion of the lab leak scenario. When Fox News ran a story in April 2020 suggesting that the virus came out of a Wuhan lab, Collins immediately contacted Fauci to explore ways the two men could “put down this very destructive conspiracy.”
Collins had previously told Fauci and his group of scientists that “science and international harmony” could be harmed if the lab leak theory took hold. Collins’s directive led Fauci’s group to publish two papers that categorically dismissed the lab leak theory, one in the medical journal the Lancet and the other in the scientific journal Nature. Those two papers would become the cornerstone of combined efforts from Fauci’s scientists, the media, Big Tech, and the U.S. government to suppress any discussion of a lab leak, while simultaneously promoting the natural origin theory.
The Department of State memo also lists many facts that the public has only come to know in piecemeal fashion over the course of the past two years including that the Wuhan CDC had a resident “Batman”—Tian Junhua—who bragged about personally having collected more than 10,000 virus-carrying bats as lab samples from Chinese caves.
Tian also was widely known for his recklessness and carelessness during his collection process.

Shi Zhengli aimed to insert furin cleavage site into coronaviruses
Regarding the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the State Department memo noted that the director of the lab, Shi Zhengli, had conducted gain-of-function engineering of bat viruses to make them more easily transmittable to humans. As we now know, the defining feature of the COVID-19 virus, its furin cleavage site, is what makes the virus particularly transmissible in humans. While no furin cleavage site has ever been observed in naturally occurring SARS coronaviruses, Shi was part of a 2018 research proposal that aimed to insert exactly such a feature into coronaviruses.
News (9)
Poor safety stands in labs lead to unintentional virus leak, Huang Yanling's whereabouts still the concern
The State Department’s memo also highlights the poor safety standards at the Wuhan Institute, a fact that could easily lead to an unintentional leak of the deadly virus to the outside population. Interestingly, the memo also questions the disappearance of lab worker Huang Yanling, whose bio, profile, and picture were scrubbed from the institute’s website shortly after the outbreak. To this day, Huang’s whereabouts and well-being remain unknown.
News (10)
Wu Xiaohua: Shi Zhengli is creating coronaviruses that are more transmissible between humans
Lastly, the memo takes a detailed look at a Chinese medical professional whose online name is Wu Xiaohua. Wu claimed that Shi Zhengli was playing God by creating coronaviruses with the specific aim of making them more transmissible in humans. Wu also claimed that Shi used intermediate animals in her lab and that her lab’s management of deadly viruses was appallingly poor and negligent.
The State Department memo found Wu’s claims to be credible and that assessment holds up well, given the information that has been made public in the intervening two years. We now know Shi had an active plan to insert furin cleavage sites into bat viruses, we know that she used humanized mice to test how her virus creations would affect humans, and we know that her lab was repeatedly cited for its poor safety record.
News (11)
State Department is sure SARS-CoV-2 originated in a lab since April 2020
The most striking takeaway from the memo is that it focuses almost entirely on the lab leak scenario, reflecting that the State Department was almost certain in April 2020 that the virus had originated in a lab. What remains entirely unclear is why neither the State Department nor Secretary Pompeo released this information as soon as they had it.

During the quarantine period, all food and lodging expenses will be borne by the finance department. At present, 14 prefectures and cities have successively carried out transfer work.
According to the People's Daily, the reporter learned from the regional group of the Shanghai Epidemic Prevention and Control Leading Group on the 6th that according to the unified deployment of the State Council's joint prevention and control mechanism, in early April, Jiangsu and Zhejiang will urgently provide housing for those quarantined in Shanghai during the fight against the covid epidemic. The total is 60,000.
Among them, Jiangsu and Zhejiang have 30,000 rooms each. The isolation housing provided by Jiangsu and Zhejiang this time is used for close contacts of confirmed covid-positive patients (including asymptomatic infections) in Shanghai. All inter-provincial transfer personnel must be quarantined for 14 days. All room and board expenses during the quarantine period shall be the responsibility of the finance department, and no fees will be charged to individuals.
Closed-loop isolation, personal protection in accordance with the requirements of the transit city and county throughout the process. The houses provided by Jiangsu and Zhejiang are all hotels that meet the national epidemic prevention and control regulations. All the houses that have been raised and provided in the two places have completed all preparatory work according to the management standards of isolation points, and have been equipped with medical care, cleaning and related staff as required to ensure that safety management and services are in place.

Since the transfer of the first batch of personnel on 4 April, the 16 districts of Shanghai have successively carried out transfer work, and the transfer docking has been completed. In order to do a good job in epidemic prevention and control, the city has made it clear that all inter-provincial transfer personnel (including those who are to be transferred in close contact, drivers, and car staff, etc.) should hold a negative nucleic acid test report within 24 hours before departure.
It is understood that during the transfer process, the districts of Shanghai and the cities and counties of Jiangsu and Zhejiang that receive the Shanghai people for quarantine determine the information of the transferred personnel one by one, and then transfer the qualified personnel to the centralized isolation point in batches. The whole process of closed-loop management of transfer vehicles is implemented. In principle, vehicles do not stop on the way, pay no contact, and personnel do not get off. The people on the bus should take personal protection in accordance with the requirements of the city and county where they were transferred. The reporter learned from the relevant departments of Hanjiang District, Yangzhou that the district has prepared a lot of life protection materials for the close and sub-close contact personnel who are transferred here from Shanghai, including a living bag printed with "Welcome Home", which contains towels, toothpaste, toothbrushes and are essential products.

Unable to bear it, Shanghai residents called and scolded the Shanghai government
Reporter : Qiao An / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2022/04/07/a103393892.html
From the partial lockdown to the city-wide lockdown in Shanghai, many residents have been locked in their homes for several weeks.
Shanghai citizen: I'm being driven to death by you! Do you know? You tell me, the supermarket is closed, what should I buy? What should I eat? What should I drink? You are killing people!
On 6 April 2022, a video of a Shanghai citizen scolding the government for extreme epidemic prevention on the phone circulated on the Internet. The young man in the video shouted excitedly, "I was driven to death by you."
Shanghai citizen: My parents were blocked by you for two months! How did they live these two months? My grandmother, the elderly living alone has no one to take care of! You blocked us, what does she drink? What does she eat? They're all being forced to death! Is the Shanghai government human? It's forcing the people to resist!
Shanghai, with a population of more than 26 million, was locked down by the CCP, and the resulting secondary disasters were more deadly than the epidemic itself, making many locals angry.
Shanghai citizen: It's even bigger than the Cultural Revolution. It's a matter of moving (fighting) the masses.
Shanghai citizen: How's the whole of China doing! The world doesn't have it! The universe doesn't have it!
Shanghai citizen: People are going crazy! They are going to jump off the building! Depression, autism, myocardial infarction, cavity infarction, cerebral infarction... What is the mortality rate! People are scary to death, you know!
Shanghai was originally scheduled to lift the lockdown on 5 April but due to the continued severity of the epidemic, it was decided to continue the lockdown of the city, and it is still unknown when the lockdown will be lifted.

Sensation! Make the conflict public! Shanghai Li Qiang made a rare move
Reporter : Qin Rui / https://www.aboluowang.com/2022/0407/1731564.html

The Shanghai epidemic has become the focus of the world's attention, and the political wrangling behind the epidemic prevention policy is even more shady. On April 6, the Shanghai Party News published a rare commentator article, shouting to all local officials at all levels in Shanghai.
The epidemic situation in Shanghai continues to be severe. On 6 April, Beijing time, Jiefang Daily, the official newspaper of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China, published a commentator article, "To leading cadres at all levels in Shanghai: Please stand up, share the concerns of the grassroots, and solve the problems for the people!" It rarely disclosed that Xi Jinping’s policies met widespread resistance from local officials in Shanghai.
During this special period, the commentator's article published by the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee's official newspaper undoubtedly represents the meaning of Li Qiang, the secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee, or that it has obtained the permission of Li Qiang.
After the article was published, it caused a sensation on the Internet, and many CCP official media reposted the article with special headlines, such as Beijing Youth Daily reported,"The central government instructs Shanghai to be resolute and decisive"! Shanghai Party News Front Page: Leaders at all levels have no reason to delay or dodge."
According to the common sense of the CCP's mouthpiece articles to be read in reverse, it can be seen from the title alone that Li Qiang, the secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee, is already helpless in the face of these so-called "leading cadres at all levels in Shanghai". They had to speak to all local officials in Shanghai at all levels in a rare way of openly contradicting each other.
This commentary is the first public reflection of the resistance Xi Jinping's policies have encountered in Shanghai from officials at all levels. Moreover, this resistance did not disappear because of Xi Jinping's instructions and the arrival of Sun Chunlan.
The article first emphasized that "the central government instructed Shanghai to be resolute and decisive, act quickly and forcefully, and step up efforts to carry out all inspections, all collections, all quarantines, and all treatments that should be treated."
Obviously, the directive came directly from Xi Jinping. However, they still cannot command officials at all levels in Shanghai.
The article shouted, "This is a time when we must fight with all our strength and use speed to control the speed. It is a time when we must do things overnight and our troops are very fast. At such a time, party members and leading cadres at all levels especially need to come forward and come up with special Responsibility and energy, showing a special state and style."
Obviously, the actions of local officials in Shanghai are the exact opposite. In the words of the article, they are all kinds of "excusing, delaying, and dodging."
It is worth noting that the title of this commentator's article was subsequently changed to "Jiefang Daily Commentator's Article: Sharing Worries for the Grassroots and Solving Difficulties for the People". Some other official media have also made corresponding changes.
The day before, on 5 April, Academician Zhang Boli expressed his views on behalf of the official in an interview with the People’s Daily Health Client. He also wanted to “unify the thinking of the whole city in Shanghai” and “adhere to precise prevention and control, and dynamic clearing.”
In particular, Zhang Boli pointed out that it is necessary to overcome misunderstandings such as "trumpet flu, excessive epidemic prevention", "severe and low mortality rates, and there is no need to mobilize people", and also to overcome the practice of individual departments that do not stop and act on their own.
The remarks once again proved that local officials at all levels in Shanghai did not take Xi Jinping seriously at all.
In addition to the reasons for the epidemic policy, Shanghai is the political base of the former leader of the Communist Party of China, Jiang Zemin, and many senior officials from the Jiang clique have made their fortunes here. They still maintain close ties with the current Shanghai officialdom, and their resistance to Xi Jinping is more from politics. level. Many of the problems that Shanghai is currently reacting to are rooted in the struggle between Jiang Zemin, Zeng Qinghong’s faction and Xi Jinping’s camp. Local officials in Shanghai are not only boycotting these policies, but are also taking advantage of the theme to boycott Xi Jinping, the general secretary.

Two different aspects of Shanghai's epidemic, Pudong's traffic jam has caused public grievances
Reporters : Gao Jianlun and Zeng Xinmin l https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2022/04/07/a103393993.html
The epidemic in Shanghai continues to soar. The CCP officially claimed that more than 17,000 new cases were confirmed yesterday, and the actual number of infected people is even higher. Authorities rushed to build a large square cabin hospital at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai. However, the lockdown and control of the epidemic in Shanghai also appeared in two aspects. When some people were quarantined and eating and drinking was a problem, it was reported that some people bought a pass and could go out at will.
Under the lockdown in Shanghai, the long queues in front of the shopping mall were photographed. The keyword "Pudong traffic jam" became a hot topic on Weibo. The Internet went viral about someone selling a 1,000 Shanghai pass, and netizens questioned where the pass was. They came, dissatisfied, "The government doesn't care whether ordinary people live or die, and the price of vegetables is so high that they can't buy them, but privileged people can get a travel permit to travel at will."
Before waiting for the rumors to be refuted, Metro in Shanghai mall posted an announcement saying, "Due to the sharp increase in the number of license holders today, the store is temporarily closed", and it is suspected that the pass is sold.
Weibo netizen said,"The epidemic in Shanghai has once again subverted my cognition. When everyone was still worried about how to grab food, there was a rich consumer who shared how the LV of Plaza 66 gave him 5 consecutive days of trickst exquisite afternoon tea."
The epidemic in Shanghai is out of control but the people have two different feelings. Some people can receive snacks from boutique brands while they are in isolation, while some people have difficulty in resting and feeding themselves. Some confirmed patients were taken from their homes. Isolated, but left on the side of the road.
People in Shanghai who were diagnosed: It doesn't matter if we die or live here. No one is left here. There is not even a bottle of water until now.
People admitted to the Fangcai Hospital, "Just look at this, just this washbasin, look at it, if you want to get infected, you all see it, you can get infected, there is nothing, that's it. Just throw us here. Now, we are the first batch. There is no place to use electricity, there is no place to use electricity, and you are all looking for a place to plug in.”
Doors that can hardly block the cold wind, thin quilts, Shanghai people photographed the quarantined makeshift hospital, shouting that there is nothing here. A netizen on Weibo wrote, "This situation will still occur in Shanghai, China, and you can imagine other areas.
The dynamic is cleared but the chaos is all over, and only the people of Shanghai suffer.

Xi Jinping's two major military personnel appointments point to Jiang Zeng's site respectively
Reporter : Han Fei / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2022/04/07/a103393963.html
As the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is approaching, Xi Jinping is also intensively mobilizing personnel. Public opinion believes that the two recent personnel arrangements in Jiangxi Province show that Xi Jinping is defending against the troubles of Jiang Zemin and Zeng Qinghong's factions and weakening his opponents.
Before the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Xi Jinping had replaced all the commanders of the military region and the political commissar of the armed police in Jiangxi Province, the hometown of Zeng Qinghong.
Regarding the commander of the military region, an article was published on the Jiangxi government website on the 3rd. In the morning of 2 April, Bao Zemin, political commissar of the Jiangxi provincial military region, and Zhang Gong, commander of the provincial military region, went to Nanchang Martyrs Cemetery for sacrifice.
Bao Zemin, a former political commissar of Beijing Weixu District, is 55 years old and was promoted to major general in December 2018. On 23 July 2021, Jiangxi Daily reported that Bao Zemin was transferred to the political commissar of the Jiangxi Military Region.
Zhang Gong, who served as Chief of Staff of the North Sea Fleet Aviation and Deputy Chief of Staff of the East China Sea Fleet, was promoted to the rank of Rear Admiral in June 2019. According to the news that appeared, Zhang Gong has now assumed the post of commander of the Jiangxi Military Region.
As for the political commissar of the Armed Police, Xu Yunfei is the former director of the Organization Bureau of the Political and Work Department of the Armed Police. He will show his loyalty to Xi Jinping in the "Liberation Army Daily" in 2021. After the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Xu Yunfei succeeded Chen Hang as the political commissar of the Jiangxi Provincial Armed Police Corps.
Previously, some mainland Chinese media analysts believed that the "airborne" of the armed police headquarters served as the chief officer of the provincial armed police corps. This kind of personnel arrangement is rare.
In addition, on 28 March, Wu Tao, a spokesman for the Hong Kong Garrison, announced that Lai Ruxin was the political commissar of the Hong Kong Garrison. Hong Kong has been accused of being Zeng Qinghong's territory for a long time and has been under Zeng Qinghong's control for a long time. There are still some Hong Kong media who continue to oppose Xi and support Jiang, showing obvious Jiang Zemin and Zeng Qinghong factions.
Public opinion believes that Xi Jinping's two major personnel appointments to the army, respectively pointing to Zeng Qinghong's hometown and Hong Kong, where he has been operating for many years, is not accidental but a personnel wrestling under the 20 major power struggles.

After Shanghai was forcibly "closed down", officials were rumored to lie flat against the central government, causing chaos. Sun Chunlan, Vice Premier of the Communist Party of China, who is supervising the epidemic prevention in Shanghai, recently convened the secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee and the mayor to give lectures.

Shanghai officials "lying flat"? Sun Chunlan demanded to ensure the operation of the city
According to the official website of the Shanghai Municipal Government Information Office on 6 April 2022, Sun Chunlan was in Shanghai from 4 to 5 April to investigate and guide the epidemic prevention and control work. Li Qiang, Secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee, and Gong Zheng, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and Mayor, participated in relevant research activities.
Sun Chunlan conveyed the instructions of Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, asking the Shanghai authorities to speed up the construction of makeshift hospitals and centralized isolation points. At the same time, they should also make every effort to ensure the normal operation of Shanghai's urban core functions, break through traffic jams, ensure the normal operation of ports and shipping, and ensure the supply chain. The industrial chain is stable and smooth.
After Sun Chunlan arrived in Shanghai on the 2nd, he successively conveyed Xi Jinping's tough instructions to Shanghai officials-the general policy of "dynamic clearing" was unswerving. Shanghai immediately closed the city, and 25 million residents "stayed at home", officially called "global static management".
However, after the closure of Shanghai, officials suspected of "lying flat" against the central government, resulting in frequent chaos. Sun Chunlan then asked the Shanghai government to ensure the normal operation of the city, arousing public attention.
The Communist Party's official media "Jiefang Daily" issued an article on the 6th, calling on officials at all levels in Shanghai to "step up and share the concerns of the grassroots", with strong criticism.
On the same day, Hong Kong's "Ming Pao" quoted sources as saying that some officials in Shanghai fled to "lie down", and the suburban towns were even "taken over" by military medical staff.
The article refers to the book "Xi Jinping in Shanghai" published in early March, referring to the recollections of some officials in the book that may help to understand the mystery of Shanghai's failure to fight the epidemic today.
Xi Jinping served as secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee for seven months in 2007, and then served in the central government. The article said that Shanghai officials were adept at calculating, but not responsible enough. Shen Hongguang, the then-organization minister of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee, recalled in the book that Xi Jinping used the word "not clingy" to describe Shanghai officials, which reflected that Xi was not able to "get along" with local officials in Shanghai at that time.

Shanghai bureaucracy inaction, public protests
The chaos of Shanghai's epidemic prevention has also aroused the protests of the people at the bottom. The WeChat public account "Chiapas Dongfeng Electric Drill" released a long article on 3 April, saying that the experience of more and more people proves that it is not the virus that must be resolutely won, but lying Inactive bureaucracy. Calling on the people at the bottom to form mutual aid groups to jointly resist the inaction of bureaucratic leaders, "We have to win only an anti-epidemic war against bureaucracy."
Ji Xiaolong, a Shanghai resident, also issued a petition on Twitter a few days ago. After the city was closed, chaos was rife, and he demanded to "immediately dismiss party and government officials of the current government" and select officials trusted by Shanghai residents.
There are also videos and audio recordings exposing the chaos in Shanghai's epidemic prevention, revealing the Shanghai government's inaction, government departments acting independently, concealing epidemic information, disregarding people's livelihood, and chaotic management of the isolation centre.

In a recorded phone call between Zhu Weiping, Director of the Infectious Disease Prevention and Disinfection Management Section of the Shanghai Pudong Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and a citizen, it was disclosed that Shanghai's official "health cloud" information was false, and the positive report was shown as negative.
The citizen said, "Whether the CDC, medical resources, 12345, or health cloud, you are all divided, and you have not formed a unified front. This is the current situation of the Shanghai government's united front. That's the question, right?"
Zhu Weiping replied, "Yes. We are already very angry. Let us inform others that it is positive and the health cloud is negative. We all ask people to call 12345 to complain about the health cloud, what are we doing?"
The citizen on the phone questioned, "What the people see (the epidemic information) are all fake?"
Zhu Weiping reconfirmed, "Yes, we are all notified of the positives now, and the health cloud is fake. The whole Shanghai is like this."

Shanghai people cannot buy vegetables, donated vegetables are not accepted
A video posted on the Internet showed that the people in Shanghai could not buy food, and protested at home in unison, shouting "need supplies". However, the large amount of vegetable materials donated by various places has not been accepted, and they have rotted in vain and were thrown away as garbage.
A video shows a man in Putuo District, Shanghai, shouting desperately on the phone, "Is the Shanghai government human?" "I was driven to death by you, do you know? You tell me, the supermarket is not open, what can I buy? What do I eat? What do I drink? You are driving people to death!" "Forcing the people to rebel! I can't live anymore!"
Another video shows that in a community in Dachang Town, Baoshan District, Shanghai, supplies purchased online were piled up at the gate of the community but the epidemic prevention personnel were sitting still, not distributing supplies to residents, allowing residents to protest at the scene.
There is also a video showing that on 2 April, on Yongtai Road in Shanghai's Pudong New Area, a man from Shandong who transported donated supplies called and accused Shanghai officials of "inaction."
The man said angrily that the more than 100,000 yuan of vegetables they donated to Shanghai for free were not received and would soon rot. And after he arrived in Shanghai, no one cared about him. "We are now using our lives to support him, but now I have no water to drink or food to eat." "Your Shanghai government is too inept."
A video showed a long line of trucks carrying supplies to Shanghai parked on the side of the road. The driver who filmed the video said that when he delivered relief supplies to Shanghai, "When we got here, no one received the goods, no one took care of us, and we had no food to eat from the guard".
The person in charge of a wholesale market in Shanghai's Xuhui District told The Epoch Times that the city leaders asked people in the wholesale market to be quarantined, and they had no way to receive supplies. "The food outside can't come in, and the citizens can't eat the food. Now many dishes are directly dumped on the garbage heap."

The management of the isolation center is chaotic, "like a riot"
A video showed that a bus was parked on the side of the road, and many quarantined people got off the bus and stood on the road, while many epidemic prevention personnel were doing nothing. The man who filmed the video angrily complained that the official deceived them into saying that they were going to quarantine, and as a result, they left the person on the road, and no one cared or asked.
Another video showed a group of citizens, elderly and children among them, standing in an empty campus with luggage stacked next to them. They complained loudly to the anti-epidemic personnel in the distance that they had been here for several hours, and were left in the open air without anyone to care, not even giving a bottle of water. Citizens accused the government of "deceiving" people.
There is also a video exposing that the management of the square cabin in Nanhui University Town in Shanghai is chaotic, there is no food to eat, and it depends on robbing. "It's horrible, like a riot," cried a girl who was quarantined with her mother, who only grabbed some water.

Authorities take over Shanghai in disguise in the name of epidemic prevention
As the situation in Shanghai continues to deteriorate, the authorities have recently dispatched tens of thousands of people from various provinces, the army, and the armed police to Shanghai to assist in epidemic prevention and stability maintenance.
Yokogawa, a current affairs commentator in the United States, said that the authorities' move was ostensibly to assist in epidemic prevention, but in essence it was a disguised takeover of Shanghai.
Yokogawa said in the "Yokogawa Viewpoint" program, "Multiple provinces and troops have been stationed in Shanghai. The last time I saw this kind of momentum in Shanghai was the measures taken to prevent the Shanghai rebellion after Beijing arrested the Gang of Four."
He believes that the sudden change in Shanghai's epidemic prevention policy is a political struggle or a line struggle. He agrees with some opinions on the Internet that Xi Jinping does get a chance to clear Shanghai, the hometown of the Jiang faction.

CCP's image collapsed, not shocked by the Bucha Massacre
Reporter : Andrew / https://www.aboluowang.com/2022/0406/1731092.html
Editor's Note: As one of the five permanent members of the United Nations and the world's second largest economy, China, which has longed to become a "responsible power" for many years, has not said a word about the massacre of civilians by the Russian army in Bucha, a suburb of Kyiv, Ukraine, and has not said anything about the tragic death of civilians. A little sympathy, let alone condemnation of the butcher, not even a single word of neutral "shock" at the massacre. Post-editing note from Aboluowang.com: Since the CCP seized power, it has launched several campaigns that have killed 80 million of its compatriots. The indifference to life is the innate nature of the CCP. Pretending to turn a blind eye to the Bucha Massacre, we see only the image of the CCP that has collapsed, and only the image of the CCP that has collapsed. The CCP does not represent China, and the CCP does not equal China.

AP- Rodrigo Abd
The Bucha massacre on the outskirts of Kyiv shocked the world, but not China.
As one of the five permanent members of the United Nations and the world's second largest economy, China, which has longed to become a "responsible power" for many years, has not said a word about the massacre of civilians by the Russian army in Bucha, a suburb of Kyiv, Ukraine, and has not said anything about the tragic death of civilians. A little sympathy, let alone condemnation of the butcher, not even a single word of neutral "shock" at the massacre.
The official silence, the Global Times and other state media reports also used words such as the U.S. "hype" and the U.S. and Ukraine "promoting the 'death of civilians in Bucha'". Some official commentators have ordered them to be "Rashomon" to confuse the truth.
The French newspaper Le Monde recently reported and analyzed, "Russian propaganda agencies have spared no effort for many years to discredit the truth itself. Russian TV has gone all out to convert serious debates into comedy, submerging the most serious topics in the so-called 'alternative truth' for ten years. , let the confrontation with the West and the demonization of Ukraine take root in their minds. There is no truth to the world that the Russian authorities promote.”
The Chinese Little Pinkies followed the Russian government, claiming that the civilian corpses on the roadside outside Kyiv only appeared after the Russian army retreated and were posing for a photo but satellite photos have shown unmistakably that the bodies appeared precisely after the Russian occupation.
There is a video on the Internet. On the screen, a person named Shi Ji said that although the Bucha massacre was a crime of the Russian army, it was a crime of Zelenskyy morality kidnapping Ukrainian nationals. Scholar Rong Jian commented, "According to his logic, the London bombing of World War II was a crime of German fascists, and it was a crime of Churchill morality for kidnapping British citizens; the Nanjing Massacre was a crime of Japanese fascists, and it was a crime of Chiang Kai-shek morality abducting Chinese nationals. Remember these villains, they are all war criminals."
Little Pinkies are shameless but the professor of Fudan University is a bit horrifying. Someone asked a person named Shen Yi, who is said to be a special guest of the official media Observer.com, "How does Mr. Shen see so many civilian corpses next to Kyiv, feeling that there will be a wave of anti-Russian public opinion? Shen Yi replied: "Didn't Ukraine fire? After this wave of operations, all Ukrainians can be regarded as civilian combatants captured by the United States in Guantanamo: first, they are not civilians, they are combatants; second , they aren't soldiers, and do not enjoy the protection of the Geneva Convention rights system. The United States has already demonstrated it, and Ukraine cannot jump out of this box.”
A netizen retorted, "Fudan University always produces such scumbags, and there are a lot of them. Fudan has contributed to China's progress to where it is today." It should be added that this view is actually related to the official through its official media. It is related to the long-term indoctrination of officials and scholars. The above example is a good illustration.
Besides, Song Zhongping, a military commentator for Phoenix Satellite TV, even claimed that the corpses on the streets of Butcha were "living corpses", saying that when the car that was filming the scene passed by, "We could see from the car mirror that the corpses were alive and standing up." Song claimed that Zelensky was an actor, and that "actors are for performances." American scholar Gracie commented on Twitter that a military commentator in the People's Republic of China supported the Bucha massacre as a "performance", and the war was blamed on the United States, Russia is not responsible for the mistakes of NATO and Ukraine. This view is widely shared in CCP China.
Compared with the ignorance of the small internet celebrity, the shamelessness and fascism of the "professor", the expression of the official media seems to be much more insidious. Shenzhen Satellite TV's special commentator Liu Heping's comment on the Bucha incident is very telling. This massacre, which was confirmed by satellite photos during the Russian occupation period, was described by the commentator as: "No matter how much Ukraine has put out the so-called photos and evidence, and whether Ukraine's allegations can be recognized by the United Nations, the European Union and NATO, it is impossible to draw a conclusion that many parties, especially Russia, can recognize and accept. It may be forever in the state of Rashomon who speaks their own words.”
Obviously, his inclination is unmistakable. In his opinion, the photos and evidence are "so-called". The commentator even said, "If you want to negotiate, don't make extra troubles and throw out the so-called Russian army committed a crime or evidence of genocide. This is a lesson that the invaded Ukraine should understand the principle of "winning the king and losing the bandit".
The public account of Xinhua News Agency, Niu Danqin, also adopted a similar statement: "Who is the murderer? Naturally, it is Rashomon, and it is also the focus of the diplomatic battle." "It is definitely a Rashomon at present." A very clear event, why did it become Rashomon in the eyes of the official media? Because "the Russian side categorically denied it". Some netizens pointed out that this is reminiscent of the Katyn massacre. Stalin ordered the killing of more than 20,000 Polish officers and elites, but he has always denied it and insisted on being planted on the head of Nazi Germany until the collapse of the Soviet Union and Yeltsin officially recognized the Katyn massacre until Stalin ordered it.
Although Niu Danqin is vague about the truth, he is at least "shocked" by the massacre, "Anyway, looking at the photos, I believe that as long as it is a human, it will not be shocked." Commentator Liu Heping was also a little worried, "Nevertheless, we cannot deny that the emergence of Ukraine accusing the Russian army of "genocide' will have a major impact on the future of the war and the future of Russia-Ukraine relations. and influence." "We saw that after the incident, the public opinion in Western countries was incensed, and Western politicians condemned it one after another. This means that in the next step, Western countries will sanction Russia and provide Ukraine with further measures. In terms of military aid, it will become more aggressive."
Calling a brutal massacre a show, posing for a photo, and a dignified country pretending to turn a blind eye to such a dehumanizing massacre, Internet celebrities want to cover it up, and it is the image of CCP China that has collapsed.
Post-editing note from Aboluowang.com: Since the CCP seized power, it has launched several campaigns that have killed 80 million of its compatriots. The indifference to life is the innate nature of the CCP. By pretending to turn a blind eye to the Bucha Massacre, we see only the image of China that has collapsed.
