After Premier Li Keqiang's inspection of Yunnan University attracted widespread attention on social media, topics related to "The Prime Minister is in Yunnan University" and "The Prime Minister visited Yunnan University in person" were blocked on Weibo, and WeChat also strengthened review of the related topics.
Recently, Li Keqiang visited government agencies, schools, private enterprises and ethnic minority families in Kunming, Qujing and other places in Yunnan. Xinhua, the CCP's official media, only reported that Li Keqiang hosted the "Symposium on Stabilizing Growth, Stabilizing Market Entities and Protecting Employment", and no other events were reported.
However, on 18 May, a video of Li Keqiang's inspection of Yunnan University's 2022 job fair was swiped on social media. Li Keqiang had a relaxed conversation with the students, encouraged the college students who are facing "graduation or unemployment", hoped that they would find a satisfactory job, and took a group photo with them.
The outside world has noticed that Li Keqiang did not wear a mask during his inspection of Yunnan University and other activities, and almost none of the officials accompanying him wore masks. It caused a heated discussion on Weibo: "I found no, Premier Li did not wear a mask when he inspected several places..."
"The leader went to Yunnan University, without wearing a mask, cheering for the students who graduated and employed... It's worth seeing."
After the related topics were swiped on social media, netizens found that the topics such as "The Prime Minister is in Yunda" and "The Prime Minister is visiting Yunnan University" on Weibo were blocked.

According to China Digital Times, WeChat is also censoring related content, such as the official account "Brother Lou" (Weixin ID: gh_0a1f850fc5ad) in an article titled "He didn't wear a mask and didn't ask others to wear a mask" wrote about Li Keqiang's visit to Yunnan University, the article has now been deleted.
The CCP's brutal epidemic prevention has impacted people's livelihood. Li Keqiang's inspections abroad usually focus on stabilizing the economy and promoting employment. This time in Yunnan is no exception.
At this time, Li Keqiang's encouragement to Yunnan University students is also quite representative. April and May are the "last time window" for college students to sign contracts in previous years. However, in Shanghai, Beijing and other cities, which are usually cities with strong job demand, under the strict "epidemic prevention and clearing" policy, the employment opportunities this year are even more slim than in previous years.
In addition to the low demand, fresh college students are also facing the competitive pressure of "previous students". According to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics a few days ago, the unemployment rate of young people aged 16-24 rose sharply to 18.2% in April, hitting a new high since statistics began. This shows that many college students who graduated and employed last year are in a state of unemployment.
On 5 May, Communication University of China issued a "letter to employers", stating that "students' out-of-school internships and job interviews will inevitably be affected to some extent", "We urge all partners to understand and support our students, through online Provide students with internship positions and interview opportunities." From such a sincere "low profile", it can be seen that the current employment situation is bleak.
Li Ang, a Chinese current affairs commentator, told Radio Free Asia that as a country's premier, Li Keqiang talks about developing the economy and improving people's livelihood as his main job but in the past two years, Li Keqiang's speeches rarely touched on the covid epidemic, especially when he went out recently, neither he nor his entourage wore masks, which was obviously intentional. "If it's possible for a person to occasionally not wear a mask, if they don't, I think it's intentional."
He said, "Many countries don't take the epidemic seriously anymore. Our country is still facing a big enemy. Are our officials fools? This is impossible. He (Li Keqiang) may express it with actions, It's impossible to express it in speech."
In the past few days, there has been a sudden increase in news about Li Keqiang in the CCP's official media, which is quite rare. As a result, there have been rumours in the outside world that under the pressure of CCP veterans, Xi's re-election was blocked by the CCP, and Li Keqiang will take over power.
However, current affairs commentator Tang Hao analyzed in the "Crossroads of the World" program, "Some people want to kill people with a knife, and they want to provoke an open conflict between the Xi faction and the League faction through overseas revelations, fight each other and kill each other, and then wait for the fisherman to sit down to benefit." And the person who broke the news should be the bureau set up by the Jiang faction.
Recently, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued an "opinion" on strengthening the CCP building work of retired cadres, which clearly stipulated that "retired cadres and party members, especially those who have held leadership positions, must strictly abide by the relevant discipline and rules, and must not arbitrarily discuss the major policies of the Party Central Committee. It is not allowed to spread politically negative remarks and not to participate in the activities of illegal social organizations.”
Tang Hao believes that at least three key inside stories can be deciphered: Inside story 1: Retired leaders arrogantly criticize the central government and act against Xi; Inside story 2: Retired leaders spread negative remarks and form illegal organizations and activities; Inside story 3: Corruption and coup d'etat.

Li Keqiang inspects "masks cleared" in Yunnan, summons the heads of 12 provinces for a meeting
Chinese Premier Li Keqiang recently made a surprise visit to Yunnan, and the two signals released have once again attracted the attention of the outside world. He did not wear a mask during the inspection of Yunnan University, which is considered to be different from the mandatory epidemic prevention of Xi Jinping's "dynamic clearing". In addition, when he called a meeting of the heads of the 12 provincial governments, three of Xi Jinping's top confidants were absent.

Xi Jinping's three confidants are absent
According to the CCP media Xinhua News Agency, on 18 May 2022, Li Keqiang hosted a symposium in Yunnan, focusing on saving the economy. The heads of 12 provincial governments attended the meeting by video, covering the eastern, central, western and northeastern regions including Yunnan, Liaoning, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Fujian, Shandong, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong, Sichuan, etc.
The Xinhua News Agency's press release specifically pointed out that 10 of these 12 provinces are among the top ten in China in terms of economic aggregates, to demonstrate their importance.
It is worth noting that among the officials attending the meeting, there was neither Shanghai, the economic center, Beijing, the political center, nor Chongqing, an important town in the southwest. The "top leaders" of these three municipalities are all confidants of General Secretary Xi Jinping of the Communist Party of China. They are the Beijing Municipal Party Committee. Secretary Cai Qi, Secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee Li Qiang, and Secretary of the Chongqing Municipal Party Committee Chen Min'er.
However, the absence of the above-mentioned three people seems to be reasonable, because except for Wang Ning, the secretary of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee, who attended the meeting, the heads of other provinces attending the meeting were the provincial governors, not the provincial party secretaries.
Li Keqiang said at the meeting that due to unexpected factors such as a new round of epidemic and changes in the international situation, some economic indicators have weakened significantly since March, especially in April, and some key areas have become more prominent. Difficulties have intensified, and new downward pressure on the economy has further increased.
Li Keqiang demanded that all regions and departments should have a stronger sense of urgency, and that the new measures that can be seen "can be exhausted" and "can be released as much as possible" in May. It is not difficult to see from Li Keqiang's speech that the current predicament facing China's economy is extraordinary.

Li Keqiang's "mask clearing" leads to speculation again
Before hosting the above-mentioned meeting, Li Keqiang visited Kunming, Qujing and other places in Yunnan successively, and attended the job fair for graduates of Yunnan University. The online video shows that when he inspected Yunnan University, he did not wear a mask at all times, and everyone on the scene was "masked to zero", which is considered to be significantly different from Xi Jinping's "dynamic reset" of epidemic prevention and control.
The outside world believes that Li Keqiang and his entourage do not wear masks under the anti-epidemic policy of closing cities and clearing the city at every turn in China, which is obviously intentional. Some even think that it is deliberately "singing the opposite" against Xi Jinping.
Li Ang, a Chinese current affairs commentator, told Radio Free Asia, "If it is possible for a person to occasionally not wear a mask, if not, I think it is intentional."
Li Ang said, "Many countries don't take the epidemic seriously anymore. Our country is still facing a big enemy. Are our officials all fools? This is impossible. He (Li Keqiang) may express it with actions, It's impossible to express it in speech."
In fact, it is not the first time that Li Keqiang has not worn a mask in public. When he visited Jiangxi last month, he also did not wear a mask the whole time. At that time, Yokogawa, a current political commentator, said, "Not wearing a mask in public is definitely a deliberate signal that the Omicron variant is not so scary, and there is no need to scare yourself to death like that."
Yokogawa analyzed in his "Yokogawa Viewpoint" program that the "different tone" shown by Xi Jinping and Li Keqiang is the norm within the CCP system. He said, "This has been the case since the establishment of the (CCP) government. The CPC Central Committee and the State Council often have different tunes. During the Cultural Revolution, the focus was on revolution to promote production, the Party Central Committee was in charge of revolution, and the State Council was in charge of production, and revolution often hindered production rather than promoting production. This kind of setup has no benefits for economic development, only obstacles, because this is to maintain the dominance of the CCP."

Before the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Li Keqiang was brought to power and Xi Jinping was in danger

Before the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the signals of fierce infighting among high-level leaders became increasingly evident, and undercurrents of various forces were surging. Following the slogan of "defend the leader and follow the leader", Guangxi recently passed a resolution to publicly side with Xi Jinping while Chinese Premier Li Keqiang was also pushed to the front by the media. Expert analysis shows that Xi Jinping's re-election is full of crises.

Guangxi made a decision to stand in the Xi camp
On 13 May, the Standing Committee of the Guangxi National People's Congress passed the decision to build a "Demonstration Zone for the Consciousness of the Chinese Nation Community", the content of which is to basically build this demonstration zone in Guangxi by 2025.
"Forging a sense of community of the Chinese nation" is considered to be Xi Jinping's "major original assertion", and it was also written into Xi Jinping's "19th National Congress Report" in 2017. It is the "highest guiding principle" of the CCP's ethnic policy in recent years.
Before the Guangxi People's Congress passed the above-mentioned decision, Guangxi officials had expressed their support for Xi Jinping more than once. On 17 April, the entire party committee of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of the Communist Party of China stated, "Always support the leader, defend the leader, and follow the leader."
On 22 April, Xi Jinping was elected to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China by unanimous votes in Guangxi. Liu Ning, secretary of the Guangxi Party Committee, then delivered a speech, saying that Xi Jinping's unanimous election to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is a vivid manifestation of the "loyalty to the core, support for the core, maintenance of the core, and defense of the core" of the party members, cadres and the masses.

Li Keqiang was pushed to the front
Recently, Xi Jinping's "clearing" policy of epidemic prevention has caused huge controversy, and China's economy has also been hit hard. Even with rumours that Xi Jinping's power was being challenged, public opinion at home and abroad took the opportunity to push the Chinese Premier Li Keqiang to the forefront.
On 17 May 2022, the official Weibo account of Ning County, Qingyang City, Gansu Province, "Ningxian Rong Media" posted a message that the executive meeting held by the county government focused on the study of "Premier Li Keqiang's speech when he inspected and chaired a symposium at the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs" and other content, and emphasized that all departments at all levels in the county should earnestly study and implement the spirit of Li Keqiang's speech.
On 16 May 2022, Xinhua News Agency reported that Li Keqiang had a phone conversation with Pakistani Prime Minister Shabazz. The next day (17th), the People's Daily published the news again on the front page but there was no news headline related to Xi Jinping.
On 14 May, the CCP's mouthpieces Xinhua News Agency and People's Daily simultaneously published a 9,000-word speech by Li Keqiang on 25 April 2022.
This unusual reporting method by the CCP media has drawn attention from the outside world, believing that it highlights the fact that the CCP’s infighting is intensifying. For a long time, Li Keqiang has been greatly weakened by the CCP media, while Xi Jinping has often "dominated the screen".
Overseas media are also "building momentum" for Li Keqiang. On 11 May 2022, The Wall Street Journal published an article "Li Keqiang Out of Xi Jinping's Shadow". The article revealed many inside stories and disagreements among the top CCP leaders, saying that dissatisfaction with Xi Jinping's policies within the CCP is growing, and dissatisfaction with Xi Jinping's authoritarianism is boiling. Opportunities for Li Keqiang and his supporters have been created.

Expert: Jiang faction set up a bureau to kill with a knife, Xi Jinping is in danger
In response to all kinds of strange images that broke out in the CCP's political arena, Tang Hao, a current political commentator, believes that "Xi Jinping must have encountered fierce challenges and setbacks within the Party but he should not have surrendered power and he is still fiercely fighting with the party."
Tang Hao analyzed in his "Crossroads of the World" program that public opinion at home and abroad suddenly touted Li Keqiang, "It should be someone who wants to kill with a knife", trying to provoke an open conflict between the Xi faction and the regiment faction, and then wait for the fisherman benefit.
Tang Hao believes that this should be a bureau set up by the Jiang faction. "Zeng Qinghong and Wang Huning of the Jiang faction are both dangerous and intelligent people, so the Jiang faction is the most suspect."
He said, "The struggle between the Xi faction, the Jiang faction and the Tuan faction is getting more and more heated, which fully reflects that Xi Jinping's re-election road is becoming more and more unstable and more dangerous. At present, Xi is mainly attacking the Jiang faction while guarding against the League faction, while the Jiang faction wants to provoke the Xi faction to fight against the Tuan faction to seek refuge and protect themselves. From the Beidaihe Conference to the eve of the 20th National Congress, Xi Jinping will encounter more challenges and crises.”

Xi "suffered from a brain aneurysm"? Expert analysis does not rule out the possibility of information warfare
Reporter : Han Fei / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2022/05/18/a103431815.html / Image : Video Screenshot
Recently, some foreign media broke the news that Xi Jinping suffered from a "brain aneurysm", but he was unwilling to undergo surgery and was using traditional Chinese medicine for treatment. Infighting was fierce before the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Recently, there has been an endless stream of "grapes" about Xi. Various media at home and abroad have analyzed and reported one after another, making the civil war situation more complicated and confusing .
The CCP's push for “dynamic clearing” has sparked public grievances. The anti-epidemic policies are inconsistent and capricious, resulting in countless human tragedies. The outside world speculates that this is the result of the Jiang faction, led by Jiang Zemin, who made troubles in order to prevent Xi Jinping from being re-elected before the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
Recently, there has been an endless stream of "grape news" about Xi Jinping. It is widely circulated overseas that Xi Jinping has been coup d'etat and transferred power to Li Keqiang, but Xi Jinping will be publicly resigned after the 20th National Congress . However, according to Tang Hao, a well-known media person, this statement is counterintuitive.
Tang Hao, a well-known media person: "Looking back at the 70-year history of the CCP's establishment, the power struggles between the top leaders of the CCP are very cruel and razor-sharp. I have never seen any leader forced to give half of the power to the palace. ', whether it was Hua Guofeng, Hu Yaobang or Zhao Ziyang, all of them were forced to step down and hand over their positions after being forced into the palace.
On 12 May, The Wall Street Journal published a report saying that Xi Jinping screwed up the Chinese economy, and now he is relying on Li Keqiang to fix the pot and pull back the economy. On the 14th, the British "Daily Mail" broke the news that Xi Jinping suffered from a cerebral aneurysm, but Xi Jinping refused to undergo surgery and had to use traditional Chinese medicine for treatment. The news is true and false, confusing.
Tang Hao, a well-known media person: "We have no way of verifying whether the news is true or not, but this news is the same as overseas news that Xi Jinping has fallen and has given way. Although the news is not necessarily true, it can also lead to a negative impact on the Xi regime. pressure from information warfare and public opinion warfare.”
In this regard, Du Zheng, a freelance writer, said that even if the coup was fake, the infighting was real. Those who want Li Keqiang to come to power are likely to value Li Keqiang's weakness so that the real behind-the-scenes bigwig can be easily manipulated. As long as the CCP regime does not fall, whoever comes to power will change the soup but not the medicine. If the infighting continues to intensify, it is very likely that there will be an accident before the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Both the pro-Xi and anti-Xi factions will suffer, and the CCP regime will collapse.

Liu He helps Xi Jinping maintain stability? Moves to appease science and technology enterprises raise doubts

The "zero-covid" policy advocated by Xi Jinping has hit China's economy hard. A few days ago, Liu He, an important economic think tank of Xi Jinping, said at a special meeting that he would support the development of the platform economy and support the listing of digital companies at home and abroad. However, Liu He's move to appease technology companies and help Xi maintain economic stability has been questioned by the outside world.

Liu He maintains economic stability: supports digital companies to list at home and abroad
On 17 May 2022, the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference held a special meeting on "Promoting the Sustainable and Healthy Development of the Digital Economy" in Beijing. It was chaired by Wang Yang, Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and attended by Vice Premier Liu He of the Chinese Communist Party and some senior leaders of China's leading technology companies.
According to CCTV news reports, Liu He said in his speech that the government supports the sustainable and healthy development of the platform economy and the private economy, and must "handle the relationship between the government and the market well, and support digital companies to list in domestic and foreign capital markets."
Wang Yang, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and chairman of the CPPCC, also emphasized the importance of developing the digital economy in his speech. Wang Yang said, "We must view and coordinate the relationship between 'development' and 'security' in a dialectical manner, and continue to strengthen, improve, and expand the digital economy."
Founder Robin Li and Qihoo 360 founder Zhou Hongyi are both members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. The two appeared on the CCTV news broadcast but Ma Yun, Ma Huateng, Zhang Yiming, Wang Xing and other tech giants did not show up.
Liu He's speech at a symposium on promoting the development of the digital economy has served as a bellwether for the market at a time when Chinese technology companies are being heavily regulated and purged. On the same day, Chinese stocks rose, Alibaba, Pinduoduo, JD.com, Didi and other technology stocks all rose by more than 7%, and the Hang Seng Index also rose by 5%.
However, some netizens are not optimistic about the stock market rally: "Last time Liu He came out to speak, he pulled 40% to 50% on the same day, then fell 20% after three days, and then continued to fall."
"Liu He's speech has gone from being able to pull 40% of the market to only 7% now. There are too many stories about the wolf coming, and foreign investors don't believe it anymore. This is very difficult to do."
"After a year and a half of rectification, how much vitality do platform companies still have to contribute to the economy?"
Since the end of 2020, the CCP has hit a number of technology companies with anti-monopoly, data security, and common prosperity. Technology giants such as Ant Group, Alibaba, Didi Chuxing, and Tencent took turns to be targeted and suffered heavy losses. Didi Chuxing, which was listed in the United States soon, was forced to announce its delisting.

Alibaba's independent director: "Zero-covid" puts China's economy at its worst in 30 years
The CCP insists on the "zero-covid" policy to deal with the Omicron variant, which has seriously hurt the Chinese economy. The Chinese economic data in April 2022 is quite ugly.
The National Bureau of Statistics of the Communist Party of China reported on May 16 that the total retail sales of consumer goods in April fell by 11.1% year-on-year, the largest drop since March 2020; the added value of the national industrial enterprises above designated size fell by 2.9% year-on-year and 7.08% month-on-month. Among them, the manufacturing industry fell by 4.6%. The national service industry production index fell by 6.1% year-on-year, and the national urban unemployment rate was 6.1%, a two-year high.
Fu Linghui, an official with the Communist Party's Bureau of Statistics, acknowledged on the 16th that the challenges facing China's economy "exceeded expectations".
On the same day, Citigroup lowered its forecast for China's second-quarter GDP growth to 1.7% from 4.7% and its full-year growth forecast to 4.2% from 5.1%.
China’s 2022 growth forecast is 5.5%, but many economists say it’s unrealistic for the CCP to achieve its target.
The Financial Times recently reported that Shan Weijian, CEO of Asia's largest private equity fund Hong Kong Pacific Alliance Group (PAG) and an independent director of Alibaba, criticized the zero-clearing policy for bringing China's economy into a semi-paralyzed state.
He bluntly said that China's economy is at its worst in the past 30 years, and the dissatisfaction of the Chinese people is at the highest point in the past 30 years.

Experts: The CCP is in a crisis, and the regulation of technology companies is relaxed
Under the pressure of economic pressure and public opinion, the CCP authorities have recently begun to relax the supervision and suppression of technology companies.
The South China Morning Post reported on 29 April 2022 that Alibaba, Tencent, Meituan and ByteDance were invited to hold a symposium with the CCP authorities. The authorities decided to abandon the rectification and fines imposed on large technology companies, hoping that these companies could grow and develop.
Yokogawa, a current affairs commentator, said the South China Morning Post is under the banner of Alibaba founder Jack Ma, and the report may have been intentional. He believes that the CCP's willingness to make concessions highlights that China's economic situation is quite serious and the situation is not optimistic.
According to Bloomberg, Chinese authorities are in discussions with U.S. regulators to allow on-site audits of U.S.-listed Chinese companies. Yokogawa believes that this can only mean that China's economy is really in serious trouble, otherwise the CCP would not make concessions on this so-called issue of principle.
Yokogawa said that the CCP has truly encountered a crisis this time, and the CCP will change its policies in the face of a crisis. However, taking history as a mirror, opening up is an expedient measure for the CCP when it encounters a ruling crisis, and tightening and suppressing the private economy is the norm.

The CCP's covid elimination policy forces talents to flee, and the number of people who want to "run" Europe and the United States has increased sharply
Reporter : Liu Minghuan / Editor : Wen Hu / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2022/05/18/a103431987.html / Image : The CCP authorities implemented a strict epidemic prevention and clearance policy, triggering a wave of immigration. Schematic. (Hector Retamal/AFP via Getty Images)
The CCP authorities have implemented a strict epidemic prevention and dynamic clearing policy, which has caused panic among the people in mainland China, and the desire for migrants to flee is particularly strong. According to Hong Kong media reports, there has been a sharp increase in the number of Chinese professionals asking about "running learning", that is, the number of immigrants leaving.
During the lockdown in Shanghai, the popular term "Run Xue" was widely spread on the Internet. The reason was that sensitive keywords were often blocked. Therefore, netizens expressed their thoughts with the Chinese homonym "Run" in English, asking everyone to "Run if you can". , fleeing from China, "money to profit".
Hong Kong's South China Morning Post reported that businesses specializing in immigration consultations in China have clearly experienced a surge in business in recent months, especially since the outbreak of the CCP virus in Shanghai in March.
According to Baidu Index, a sharing platform that retrieves data on Chinese netizens' behaviour, the number of inquiries for the keyword "immigration" exploded 400-fold last month, as did WeChat, another social media platform.
According to the report, a lawyer specializing in immigration and overseas study consulting services in Beijing said his firm's profits have doubled since the end of March, and the clients who come to consult are not only the wealthy, but also more technology professionals.
He said that due to the impact of the epidemic, these technical professionals are increasingly uneasy and uncertain about the future, so that they cannot see the money and prospects.
The lawyer said that the number of cases inquiring about the EB-5 visa in the United States, that is, the investment immigration process, was the most, and now many clients are most interested in the EB-1 visa issued by the United States.
EB-1 visas are issued to individuals with unique talents in fields such as science, arts, business, and sports.
Not only the business volume in North China has skyrocketed, but so has the branch of Hong Kong Yuyang International Consulting Co., Ltd. in Guangzhou. This consulting company specializes in immigration to North America. They also found that the number of high-level elite visas issued to high-level elites by consulting countries in southern China increased by 60 to 70% over the same period last year.
"Many people are scrambling to ask about EB-1 visas in the United States, Canada's 'Express Entry' immigration, and Australia's 'Global Top Talent Immigration Program'," said the head of the company.
"The above-mentioned immigration channels are most favored by young professionals in China," said the head of the company.
The report said that the immigration programs of the United States, Canada and Australia to attract elites are all targeting professors and researchers with expertise in the fields of science, art, and education, and of course, including outstanding athletes, multinational corporations such as Juzi and other high-level technical personnel talent.
It remains to be seen whether the surge in immigration enquiries will lead to a long-term brain drain from China, but it poses a threat to China's dream of forever surpassing the United States in technology.
The CCP's forced closure of the city has impacted people's lives. Previously, Tencent reported that the number of searches involving "immigrants" on online platforms such as WeChat and Baidu surged, especially after the official announcement on April 3 to "strictly adhere to the social cleanup", the overall search index for immigrants on that day increased by 440%. , video-related sources also surged by 1455%.
According to a Tencent report, Baidu shows that the top Chinese provinces and cities in search of immigration popularity are Shanghai, Jiangsu, Guangdong, and Beijing. The number of searches for "immigrant" from Shanghai has been at the top of the list for the past two months.
Among them, Australia, the United States, and Canada are the immigration countries most searched by Chinese users. However, after the "immigration search tide" came out, major platforms no longer provide indexes and search trends for this keyword.

U.S. media conclusion of "man-made crash" has underlined the biggest suspect Zhang Zhengping
As soon as the conclusion of "man-made crash" came out, I think the biggest suspect is of course the co-pilot Zhang Zhengping. In the link, we have discussed in detail the life of Zhang Zhengping and the doubt that he can only be the co-pilot of his own students with the qualification of five-star captain.
Today, about Zhang Zhengping, we need to briefly add something that has not been mentioned in the past, that is, in early April, the overseas Chinese media "Vision Times" once exclusively broke the news that the operator of the artificial crash was Zhang Zhengping, and the air traffic control tower actually listened to the crash process. So, Yunnan police arrived and urgently searched Zhang Zhengping's residence in Kunming Hotel within 20 minutes after the crash, and found a suicide note.
There was no reliable information to confirm the cause of the crash until the Wall Street Journal's report emerged, suggesting the flight MU5735 crash was deliberate and the black box data shows intentional diving of the aircraft.
According to the sources, this suicide note is divided into two parts. One part is a complaint against the CCP’s economic policy, saying that Zhang Zhengping had invested his savings for decades into Evergrande Real Estate and some financial projects but because Xi Jinping did not understand the economic mess, he lost all his money. With no home and family members who died in the epidemic, he lost the confidence to continue living.
Another part mentions that Zhang Zhengping himself, as a "five-star captain" and a meritorious pilot, was rectified and suppressed by the leaders of China Eastern Airlines because of his flight mistakes last year, and he was disqualified as a captain to serve as the co-pilot of his student captain, and this captain is the son of the leader of China Eastern Airlines was greatly insulted, and he was determined to retaliate by perishing together. It is said that the suicide note also borrowed a sentence from Yang Jia back the, "If you don't give me an explanation for the bureaucracy of China Eastern Airlines, I will give you an explanation."
The rumour of this suicide note was mentioned because once the U.S. media report confirms that MU5735 was a man-made crash, the most direct consequence is that the credibility of the rumor of the suicide note is greatly increased, and the CCP official strictly sealed it. The suicide note and the truth about the crash are easy to understand.
That is to say, if this suicide note really exists, then its content of the shady exposure of the CCP's civil aviation industry and the accusation of Xi Jinping's name will inevitably bring an unpredictable impact on the current shaky CCP regime. Especially the latter, for the anti-Xi forces, this is an excellent material for attacking his economic missteps and causing a major social crisis. Therefore, China Eastern's low-key denial was quickly deleted after the U.S. media broke the news, indicating that the authorities are afraid of pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, worrying that an extreme case of revenge on the society will eventually evolve into a national condemnation of Xi Jinping's economic missteps. It is a very scary thing to say.

According to the official news from the Korean Central News Agency, as of 6 pm on 17 May 2022, the cumulative number of "fever cases" in North Korea has exceeded 1.72 million, and the cumulative death toll has reached 62. The fatality rate is only 0.0036%, which is only one-tenth of Shanghai's case fatality rate of 0.04%. The news also announced that more than 1.02 million of the fever cases have fully recovered.
Last time we said that Kim Jong-un stabbed Xi Jinping in the back in the relay Tedros. In fact, this is not what San Fatty wanted to do on purpose, but the best way for him to get through the crisis. North Korea now is equivalent to conducting a large-scale live broadcast of streaking and coexisting with the virus to the world.
North Korea's social system and power structure are exactly the same as those of the CCP, and it is completely incomparable to the CCP in terms of vaccines, nucleic acid testing, or basic medical resources. This makes North Korea an excellent comparison for China: if North Korea has adopted a different anti-epidemic model, under such conditions, it can safely pass the peak of the outbreak. Think about it, this does not mean tearing down the final legitimacy of the lockdown and establishing the clearing route?
This is the most fatal to Xi Jinping. He never imagined that a building that he had repeatedly talked about for more than two years about its national conditions and institutional advantages would be demolished in just three weeks.
So if nothing else, we have not only seen the propaganda film of the party media blocking North Korea's popular science on Omicron, but in the future we will probably see the party media continue to report how serious the epidemic situation in North Korea is and how terrible its anti-epidemic situation is.
Under such circumstances, it is very intriguing that the outside world once again reported that Xi Jinping has a major health problem.

It is rumoured that Xi Jinping is suffering from cancer and the "terminal illness rumour" changes the focus of the attack
On the true and false reports of the British media that Xi Jinping suffered from a brain aneurysm and its impact, unexpectedly, Mr. Chen Pokong, a well-known political commentator and overseas self-media person, exclusively broke the news on 18 May 2022, saying that Xi Jinping not only suffered from a brain aneurysm but was also diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, which is already stage III pancreatic cancer, which is a tumour. Tissue has invaded nearby blood vessels. Xi Jinping is now seriously ill, bedridden and so on.
The content of this revelation is quite surprising, because pancreatic cancer is known as the "king of cancer" in the field of tumours. The average five-year survival rate after diagnosis is only about 10%, and it is one of the malignant tumors with the worst prognosis. Because the early symptoms of pancreatic cancer are not obvious, once diagnosed, it is often already in the advanced stage. According to statistics, more than 80% of pancreatic cancer cases have lost the chance of surgical treatment when they are diagnosed, and can only take non-surgical palliative therapy, and the average survival time of palliative therapy is only about six months.
That is to say, if this news is true, Xi Jinping will not show up for a long time from now on, and he may be admitted to be suffering from a serious illness during the operation. If he insists on showing up normally, it means that he is no longer able to operate, and he will have about half a year to live at most.
So, will this news be true?
Personally, I am more observant and reserved. why? First of all, judging from Xi Jinping's public appearances, his most recent appearance was on 10 May at a meeting to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Youth League and delivered a public speech. In this speech, he also had a small situation. Li Zhanshu, who was next to him, took the lead in applauding halfway, interrupting the rhythm of his speech. He turned his head and asked in a low voice, "Does this also require applause?"
From a purely medical point of view, once pancreatic cancer has developed to the third stage, it will be obvious that the patient will experience rapid weight loss and fatigue in a short period of time. However, Xi Jinping's public appearance is a week ago. Although his mood is not very high, his face and body have basically maintained the same shape as before, and he did not see any obvious weight loss.
Secondly, just today, Xi Jinping delivered a video speech at the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade and the Global Trade and Investment Promotion Summit. Of course, this video may have been recorded in advance but it also shows that at least in the near future, his appearance has not changed significantly.
Third, Xi Jinping just issued an unprecedented gag order against retired veterans through the Central Office on yesterday. This action was very tough, and he did not even give the veterans at least face. Rumours of a smooth transition are far off.

Xi Jinping's power in the CCP has eclipsed
Therefore, in my personal opinion, the statement that Xi Jinping has lost power or is about to lose his life needs to be carefully observed.
On the other hand, we will find that the recent bursts of news all point to a key point, that is, Xi Jinping is suffering from a terminal illness, either a cerebral aneurysm that may fall to the ground at any time, or pancreatic cancer, the king of cancers. This is completely different from the previous revelations that he "received".
What does that mean? Let's put it this way, breaking the news that he gave in, and the goal is to attack and weaken his current power and prestige. This is a coup d'état that subverts the rules of the game. It is revealed that he is terminally ill, no matter whether it is true or false, the target focus is on his inability to be re-elected and the candidate for succession, and it is basically limited within the scope of the rules of the game.
All these revelations have been linked to some signs of Li Keqiang's rising profile. For example, Li Keqiang’s speeches dominated the party media, and his quotations appeared on the wall in Guizhou. The most recent example is Li Keqiang’s inspection of Yunnan University. Hundreds of people on the scene did not wear masks. This does add a lot of credibility.
Therefore, although it is difficult for us to fully judge the authenticity of this kind of news, from the changes in the content of the revelations and the situation of the two sides playing cards, we can still observe the general context of the entire high-level internal fierce battle and changes in the focus of the competition. From this point of view, these unrecognizable revelations can still be said to have a certain reference value.

CCP China's first domestic oral drug is effective against Omicron variant: Treatment within 5 days is critical
On 18 May 2022, the first domestically-made covi oral drug treatment report was announced. The paper shows that 5 infected people received the oral drug within 3 days after their nucleic acid tests were positive, and the nucleic acid turned negative after an average of 5 days (median), while the median of the nucleic acid turned negative in the control group was 11 to 13 days. From the data alone, early treatment and early medication may cut the treatment cycle in half.
Relevant research was carried out by the National Centre for Infectious Diseases Medical Centre. Professor Zhang Wenhong, Director of the Department of Infectious Diseases of Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University, and the team of Professor Fan Xiaohong from Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center, evaluated the effect of a domestically-made covi oral drug named VV116 on non-severe cases of mysterious diseases. The influence of the time of nucleic acid turning negative in Omicron-infected patients. Detailed data from the study were published online on 18 May 2022 in the journal Emerging Microbes & Infections.
What is VV116
VV116 is an oral anti-coronavirus drug jointly developed by research institutions such as the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and enterprises.
Relevant research and development units have previously disclosed that the team of Shen Jingshan, a researcher at the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and other teams found in experiments on an adenovirus mouse model that oral administration of VV116 could reduce the virus titer below the detection limit and significantly improve the lung tissue pathology of experimental model animal variety. The drug was approved for the treatment of covid in Uzbekistan at the end of 2021, and has been approved for clinical trials in CCP China.
The industry is more optimistic about VV116 and believes that it has the potential to become an effective drug for covid treatment. Relevant experts explained in an interview with a reporter from Science and Technology Daily that the basic principle of VV116 attacking covi is similar to that of Remdesivir. It is the core enzyme for attacking covi. The greater advantage of VV116 is that it can be taken orally.
When Omicron covi is self-synthesized in the human body, VV116 can disguise "adulteration", making the RNA polymerase of the covi "stuck" and unable to replicate and reproduce in the human body.
News (23)
Research suggests: it is very critical to dosing within 5 days after positive
In the study, 136 patients with covi infection were divided into two groups according to their own wishes: 60 received the domestic oral covi drug VV116 for treatment, 300 mg of VV116 orally every 12 hours; 76 were included in the control group and did not use antiviral treatment. Both groups of participants will receive anti-inflammatory and other symptomatic treatment.
The data shows that the time of nucleic acid conversion to negative nucleic acid was 8.56 days for Omicron-infected patients who used VV116 within 5 days after the first nucleic acid test was positive, which was less than 11.13 days for the control group.
If the drug is not taken in time after positive, the effect of the drug will be difficult to show. The specific data are as follows: Omicron-infected patients who used VV116 5 days after the first nucleic acid test were positive, the nucleic acid conversion time was 11.46 days, and the control group was 11.13 days, and the two were almost the same.
The data show that the drug will benefit patients even more when the drug is administered within 5 days. This pattern did not appear in VV116, and it was also suggested in studies related to approved covi drugs (such as monupavir and paciclovir). It can be seen that early treatment and early intervention will greatly shorten the infection time.
News (24)
Adverse events from VV116 include mild abnormal liver function, increased blood urea, increased white blood cell count
The study also collected data on the drug safety of VV116. The results showed that there were no serious adverse events, 7 cases reported mild abnormal liver function, 1 case reported increased blood urea, and 1 case reported increased white blood cell count, all of which were relieved and recovered without intervention.

Small molecule drugs may be more protective against mutation
Since the Omicron variant became the mainstream strain of the covid pandemic, several studies have shown that the variant can successfully escape the neutralizing antibody drugs that have been developed.
For example, a paper published in the journal Nature late 2021 evaluated nine neutralizing antibodies at the time, and the results showed that five were completely ineffective, and two had a 20-fold reduction in effective activity.
A previous study by Zhang Wenhong's team compared the changes in the neutralization ability of 20 neutralizing antibodies to Omicron, Omicron sublines, and different mutation sites, suggesting that a large number of neutralizing antibodies are or have been "successful by the virus" escape". Although a small number of antibodies have not escaped, given the mutagenic nature of RNA viruses (covi is an RNA virus), drug resistance may develop if it is administered long-term as a monotherapy, the researchers said.
Under this premise, small molecule anti-covi drugs have high hopes. The good news is that more and more small-molecule antiviral drugs have been shown to remain effective against variants of the covi, such as Pacyclovir, which has been approved for marketing, and VV116, which is reported on 19 May 2022.

The cause of the outbreak in North Korea is exposed! Intelligence shows virus spread after April military parade
The Wuhan pneumonia (covid, COVID-19) epidemic broke out in North Korea recently. As of 18 May 2022 night, more than 1.978 million people had reported fever symptoms and the number of deaths has increased by 1 to 63, making it a hot spot of the current pandemic. The outbreak in North Korea was caused by a large-scale military parade in April.
According to a Reuters report, North Korea, which originally claimed that there were no cases of Wuhan pneumonia, has recently experienced a major outbreak. Because local residents have hardly been vaccinated, the epidemic has grown out of control. Since the first announcement of the Wuhan pneumonia epidemic last week, North Korea has reported that 1,978,230 people had fever symptoms and 63 people died. The authorities implemented strict epidemic prevention measures such as a nationwide lockdown. Although both South Korea and the United States have proposed to help North Korea fight the epidemic and provide related assistance, no response has been received so far.
A South Korean intelligence source said the outbreak in North Korea came after a massive military parade in Pyongyang in April, and the outbreak may prompt North Korea to reconsider its approach to vaccines.

North Korea says 1 million people with "fever" have recovered, WHO expresses concern

A week after disclosing the covid epidemic, Pyongyang said on 18 May 2022 that more than 1 million "fever" patients had recovered. North Korea appears to be trying to deal with the outbreak in isolation, and experts express deep concern.
North Korea's anti-virus headquarters announced on the state media on 18 May that there were 232,880 new "fever" cases and 6 deaths. That brings the total number of deaths to 62 and more than 1.7 million "fever" cases. It added that at least 691,170 people remained in quarantine.
Foreign experts believe that most "fever" patients are infected with covid because North Korea does not have the conditions to test, and the actual number of infections is almost certainly higher than "fever" because some carriers of the virus may not develop fever or other symptoms.
Also, how quickly more than a million people recovered in North Korea, where poverty, medicines, medical equipment and sanitation are very limited, is a matter of concern. Some experts have analyzed that recovery may just refer to patients with fever who are released from quarantine after their fever subsides.
Globally, COVID-19 has killed around 6.3 million people, and the true toll is believed to be much higher. Countries with outbreaks similar in scale to North Korea's official "fever" statistics have confirmed thousands of deaths each.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO), said on 17 May 2022 that North Korea had not responded to its request for more data on the outbreak.
Tedros said the WHO is deeply concerned about the risk of further spread of the North Korean outbreak. He also noted that the country has a large number of potential patients who are more likely to contract severe covid.
Dr Michael Ryan, WHO's emergencies chief, said unchecked spread of the virus could lead to new variants, but there was little the WHO could do unless countries received help.
According to a report by the Korean Central News Agency on 18 May, at the meeting of the ruling party's Politburo on the 17th, North Korean officials continued to express their belief that North Korea can overcome the crisis on its own, and members of the Politburo discussed "a great opportunity to continue to maintain the overall epidemic prevention front."
According to a Reuters report on 17 May 2022, Yonhap News Agency sources said that North Korea launched its first international flight since the covid epidemic in more than two years, including three Air Koryo flights to Shenyang on 16 May when on the same day fly back to Pyongyang with medical supplies at night.
"They may operate more flights because it seems that the number they are carrying this time is not enough," Yonhap News Agency quoted a source as saying.
A spokesman for China's foreign ministry said he was unaware of the reports and did not detail any aid to North Korea.
Satellite imagery showed unusual activity around an international airport in the North Korean capital Pyongyang on 15 May, possibly in preparation for a flight, South Korea-based NK News reported.
North Korea has instructed citizens to gargle with salt water, drink willow tea three times a day, and other home remedies to treat covid.

China Eastern Yunnan crash is suspected to be a man-made accident. Expert: The CCP will not announce the truth
Reporter : Luo Tingting / Editor: Wen Hui / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2022/05/19/a103432747.html / Image : I the afternoon of 21 March 2022, China Eastern Yunnan flight MU5735 crashed in Guangxi. (CNS/AFP via Getty Images)
U.S. media recently disclosed that the China Eastern Airlines crash that killed 132 people was suspected to be caused by human beings. The CCP officially denies and censors the information. Experts said that based on his knowledge of the CCP's political system, even if the China Eastern crash was deliberately caused by someone, the CCP would not reveal the truth.
The Wall Street Journal reported on 18 May that data from a flight data recorder (black box) showed the plane complied with instructions from someone in the cockpit, according to people familiar with U.S. officials’ initial assessment of the China Eastern Yunnan crash, into a deadly dive, resulting in a crash.
There are two possible human causes: a pilot-planned suicide or an act of terror.
U.S. officials involved in the investigation have turned their attention to a China Eastern pilot; another possibility is that someone else on the plane broke into the cockpit and deliberately caused the crash, people familiar with the matter said.
The report by Hua Ri immediately aroused international attention and heated discussions on Chinese social media Weibo, but was quickly censored by the authorities and the relevant information was blocked.
According to mainland netizens, even the screenshots reported by Huari cannot be uploaded on Weibo, WeChat and other social platforms. Keywords such as "China Eastern Airlines" and "China Eastern Airlines Black Box" were also censored on Weibo.
Radio Free Asia quoted Wang Jian, a senior media person based in the United States, as saying that with his knowledge of the CCP's political system, even if someone deliberately caused the crash, the Civil Aviation Administration of China and China Eastern Airlines would not release details.
"Because this is a scandal." Wang Jian said that the airline is also responsible for the pilot's behaviour (deliberate crash) due to poor treatment. "I don't think it will be released. At most, take the US investigation report. Just publish it."
An anonymous aviation industry source told Radio Free Asia that, from his experience, the plane of China Eastern Airlines Yunnan Company crashed at a nearly vertical angle, not because of mechanical problems, so artificial assumptions should not be ruled out: "This (nearly vertical) diving method is really unreasonable, so everyone will guess in this direction."
The industry source said that closing a device or button in the cockpit could cause the plane to dive down. "The black box (in the cockpit) will have a recording. If it is really a man-made threat, the dialogue should be heard, but it is impossible for China (the Communist Party) to make a public recording."
After the air crash, it was rumored on the Chinese Internet that the cause of the crash was related to human factors. There are unconfirmed sources that a co-pilot protested to China Eastern and the Chinese authorities for creating the disaster.
However the CCP officially denied the claim, and China Eastern Airlines Yunnan Company also said that the three pilots of the flight involved were in "good condition" and that there was no cockpit intrusion.
Before the crash, the plane did not issue any emergency codes, according to a release from Chinese investigative authorities and there were no adverse weather conditions at the time of the crash.
So far, the CCP government has not given any possibility of causing the crash. However, authorities quickly sealed off the crash site and initiated media censorship. The internet watchdog announced that it had removed a large amount of "illegal information" related to the crash from the Chinese internet.
According to international rules, the investigation into the China Eastern Yunnan accident will be led by CAAC, and relevant agencies in the country of origin of the aircraft will be invited to participate in the investigation. Therefore, both the National Transportation Safety Board and Boeing have sent personnel to China to investigate.
The Wall Street Journal said that so far, neither Boeing nor the U.S. aviation safety regulator has issued any service announcements or safety directives due to the MU5735 crash.
Reuters has quoted sources as saying that so far, there has been no evidence of a mechanical failure in the Boeing plane involved.

WHA will be held soon! The German government and opposition decided to support Taiwan to participate as an "observer"
Editor : Lai Huijin / https://news.tvbs.com.tw/politics/1797028
The World Health Assembly (WHA) is about to take place. The German parliament on 19 May 2022 passed a resolution jointly proposed by the government and opposition, asking the government to make efforts to allow Taiwan to participate in the WHA as an observer.
The resolution, jointly signed by the ruling coalition's three-party Social Democratic Party (SPD), Green Party, Liberal Democratic Party (FDP) and the largest opposition party, the Christian Democrats/CSU Union (CDU/CSU), states that from 2009 to 2016, Taiwan Attended the World Health Assembly as an observer. However, after China intervened on the grounds of the "one China policy", Taiwan has no longer been invited by the World Health Assembly since 2017, and has been unable to participate in World Health Organization (WHO) meetings and activities as an observer.
The German political and opposition parties affirmed Taiwan's achievements in combating COVID-19 (covid) in the resolution, pointing out that Taiwan has controlled the epidemic through digital epidemic surveys and transparent communication. too restrictive and sustain economic growth.
The resolution also pointed out that at the beginning of the epidemic, Taiwan expressed its willingness to assist the international community by donating masks, respirators and vaccines, contributing a lot to the global fight against the epidemic, and donating medical supplies to Ukraine, which is in crisis.
The resolution finally requires the German government to make efforts to allow representatives of Taiwan's Ministry of Health and health agencies to re-attend the World Health Assembly and other WHO meetings and activities as observers, and to regularly report to Congress the progress of Taiwan's participation in the WHO.
The ruling and opposition parties have a consensus on a specific issue, and jointly push for a resolution in the parliament, instructing the government to take a diplomatic action, which is not common in German politics. The decision to support Taiwan was put forward by the major political parties in Germany, which reflects the importance the political arena attaches to Taiwan.
Ulrich Lechte, a foreign policy spokesman for the Liberal Democratic Party, told Die Welt that global health issues and the fight against the virus should not be the arena of Beijing's political power play.
He said that although Taiwan is diplomatically isolated and assists the global fight against the epidemic by providing medical supplies and other means, "Taiwan can also play an important role in the WHO. It is irresponsible for the WHO to refuse Taiwan's help due to pressure from China. This must be changed".
Andrew Ullmann, spokesman for health policy of the Liberal Democratic Party, also pointed out that Taiwan's participation in the WHO as an observer will benefit all countries. Global health issues should not be pan-politicized, and the time has come for Taiwan to participate. (Central News Agency)

The number of infected people rises, Sichuan Guang'an under lockdown urgently builds a square cabin hospital
Editor: Xu Menger / https://www.epochtimes.com/gb/22/5/19/n13740581.htm / Image : On 16 May 2022, residents of Linshui County, Guang'an City, Sichuan Province line up for nucleic acid testing. (Video screenshot)
The epidemic spread in Guang'an, Sichuan, and the number of infected people continue to rise. Since 19 May 2022, traffic control has been implemented in the wide security area. Residents will not be allowed to go out unless necessary, and a square cabin hospital is built urgently.
In the evening of 18 May 2022, the CPC Sichuan Guang'an City Emergency Response Headquarters issued Circulars No. 9 and No. 10, and the city's traffic control is implemented from 12 am of 19 May. The city's government departments, enterprises and institutions implement home office and closed-loop management. The city's residents do not go out unless it is necessary, and in principle, they do not leave Guang'an.
On the 19th, Guang'an officially announced that the Guang'an City Emergency Headquarters decided to start construction on the 19th, and convert Huatai Hospital into a square cabin hospital with about 800 beds to treat patients.
CCP media reported that the Sichuan Provincial Health Commission of the Communist Party of China said that the Guang'an epidemic is the most serious local epidemic in Sichuan Province since the Wuhan epidemic. The source of the infection in this round of epidemic is unknown, but the gene sequencing showed that it was Omicron BA.2.2, which was highly homologous to the case returned to the province from Shanghai, and a certain scale of community transmission had already occurred at the time of discovery.
At present, the current round of the epidemic is centered on Dingping Town, Linshui County. The county-level towns and towns are characterized by multiple distributions, and there is a high clustering of families and units. At present, there are 3 medium-risk areas in Linshui County.
Recently, Linshui County has conducted 3 rounds of nucleic acid testing for all employees. The main urban area of Guang'an and counties and cities other than Linshui conducted comprehensive nucleic acid testing screening on the 19th.
Mainland netizens said, "It's been blocked, I can't go downstairs at home, the epidemic will end soon, it's so sad." "My city is sick, and I have been quarantined at home for ten days, and I don't know when it will return to normal." "Linshui County is a small county, mostly elderly and children. The outbreak of the epidemic was sudden, and the population was densely populated and infected quickly, including townships. There are also infected people." "Linshui is currently in short supply of manpower and materials."
Linshui County in Guang'an City is the closest county seat to the main urban area of Chongqing and Liangjiang New Area in Sichuan Province, with a population of 1.01 million. This round of epidemics has spilled over to Deyang, Leshan, Dazhou and Chongqing in Sichuan Province and Shenzhen in Guangdong Province.
From 9 May to 12 am on 18 May, Guang'an City has reported a total of 927 local infections, including 922 in Linshui County. (Because the CCP is accustomed to concealing the truth of the epidemic, the outside world generally doubts that the official figures have shrunk significantly.)
