“According to the WHO report, the introduction of the West African
strain of the causative agent of monkeypox originated from Nigeria, another
state in which the United States has deployed its biological infrastructure. In
accordance with the available information, there are at least four
biolaboratories controlled by Washington in Nigeria,” he said.
Kirillov also recalled a strange coincidence that requires
verification by specialists.
“According to European and American media, in the materials of the
Munich Security Conference 2021, that is, against the backdrop of the COVID-19
pandemic, a scenario was worked out to counter an outbreak caused by a new
strain of the monkeypox virus,” the general said.
He called on WHO to investigate the activities of US-funded
Nigerian laboratories in Abuja, Zaria, Lagos and inform the world community
about its results.

The CCP's 003 aircraft carrier was not launched as scheduled, and the US military aircraft had arrived in Shanghai to monitor

The CCP's third aircraft carrier, No. 003, was not launched on the Dragon Boat Festival as expected, but a U.S. reconnaissance plane arrived in Shanghai that day, arousing concern. Expert analysis shows that even if the aircraft carrier is launched recently, it still has a long way to go before it can be officially put into use, and it is still far from the US aircraft carrier in many aspects.
Recently, many foreign media reported that the CCP's No. 003 aircraft carrier may be launched as early as June 3, because this day coincides with China's Dragon Boat Festival and the 157th anniversary of the founding of Jiangnan Shipyard. The CCP often combines important events with holidays and anniversaries.
The Wall Street Journal reported on 3 June that satellite images taken on 31 May 2022 by the US private satellite imaging company Maxar Technologies showed that the dry dock under construction of China's third aircraft carrier has been emptied of smaller ships. And dismantled the docking device. Previous images showed that the ships and working gear were still there just 10 days ago.
Mainland netizens were also highly concerned that the aircraft carrier 003 would be launched on the Dragon Boat Festival, but there was no official news about the launch of the aircraft carrier that day.
Taiwan Central News Agency reported that just as public opinion focused on the launch of the 003 aircraft carrier on June 3, the aviation self-media "Aviation Vision" quoted a screenshot of Flightradar on the same day, saying that a U.S. RC-135U reconnaissance aircraft took off from the Kadena base in Okinawa, Japan. After that, it directly crossed the East China Sea Air Defense Identification Zone, and then approached Shanghai, about 90 nautical miles from the territorial sea line.
The article said that the timing of the U.S. reconnaissance plane approaching Shanghai is quite delicate, because it was recently reported on the Internet that the aircraft carrier 003 may be launched on 3 June, questioning the U.S. military’s first approach to Shanghai for observation.
The screenshots show that the U.S. military reconnaissance plane, which did not display a call sign, approached Shanghai at 9 a.m. and flew north along Jiangsu and Shandong.
According to expert analysis, even if the No. 003 aircraft carrier is put into use, it is difficult to compete with the US military aircraft carrier, because it cannot be compared with the US military advanced aircraft carrier in many aspects.
According to the Voice of America report, compared with the CCP's first two aircraft carriers, the Liaoning and Shandong, the Type 003 aircraft carrier is still powered by conventional power and does not use a nuclear power system. In comparison, there is still a long way to go.
The displacement of the 003 aircraft carrier is more than 80,000 tons, which is only the same as the USS Kitty Hawk, which has been retired by the United States. Experts worry that whether steam power can meet the power of more than 80,000 tons of displacement remains to be seen.
On the other hand, the Type 003 aircraft carrier claims to have adopted advanced electromagnetic ejection technology, but this technology is extremely difficult. After the US Navy's latest aircraft carrier "Ford" was launched, the electromagnetic ejection system had many problems, and it was only after many improvements. gradually mature.
The Voice of America quoted industry experts to analyze that since the No. 003 aircraft carrier chose steam power, it should also be equipped with steam catapults instead of using less mature electromagnetic catapult technology. Therefore, experts judge that the main function of the 003 aircraft carrier may be the same as the first two aircraft carriers of the CCP, and it is also an aircraft carrier mainly for testing and training.

Mainland Chinese netizens commemorate June 4th, social media censorship is fully turned on, banned from changing avatars
This year, Chinese netizens continued to commemorate June 4th amid censorship. "It's my duty" and bicycles have also become obscure symbols. Various social platforms are frantically censoring, with hundreds of thousands of sensitive word combinations, and even changing avatars is prohibited.
Before and after June 4th, Chinese netizens still tried to use various hidden ways to commemorate the massacre 33 years ago, including disseminating photos containing or insinuating "June 4th", screenshots of articles and so on.

In addition, on the night of 3 June 2021, the English sentence "It's my duty" and the bicycle symbol also became obscure commemorative symbols for netizens. A post made up of more than 100 bicycle emojis was retweeted by netizens.
Webpage Screenshot.
The symbols come from a June 4 documentary produced by the BBC in 2019. In the film, a student riding a bicycle to the protest site was asked by reporters why he did so. He waved his hand with a smile and replied in English: "I think it's my duty (I think it's my duty)."
The CCP’s censorship machine reacted quickly, starting to delete Weibo posts containing the words “It’s my duty” or “duty.” However, the netizens who were deleted were not to be outdone, and continued to repost and then continue to be deleted. As of the early morning of the 4th, relevant posts have disappeared.
Censorship on Chinese social platforms began as early as the eve of June 4th. On 1 June, Weibo restricted searches for keywords such as "students," "square," "33 years ago," and "the turn of spring and summer."
Liu Lipeng, a former Weibo censor and China Digital Times editor, told VOA that in previous years, there were hundreds or thousands of sensitive words during June 4, and there were hundreds of thousands of sensitive word combinations.
Not long ago, a CCP censorship order disclosed by the online media "China Digital Times" stated that from June 2 to 6 this year is the period of "blocking the Internet", and social media platforms should "strengthen the review of new users' nicknames, avatars, and personal profiles." , strengthen speech monitoring, increase the frequency of inspections of information released by users such as chats and posts,” and ensure that people are on duty at all times during the Dragon Boat Festival, and can respond to “supervision orders or emergencies” within 5 to 10 minutes.
The directive also requires that words such as "regulatory requirements" and "sensitive period" should not appear in platform notices, but should use words such as "game function upgrade, function maintenance, and function improvement".
Test results posted by Liu Lipeng on Twitter show that websites including Xiaohongshu, Bilibili, Taobao, etc. have banned users from changing their avatars, nicknames or signatures, citing "system maintenance". Douban’s system prompts that the avatar modification function will not be restored until June 7.
Liu Lipeng said that June 4th is a "big censorship event" every year. The CCP's censorship department will require employees to take early vacations, and they can't rest for a week or two or even a month before and after June 4th.
In addition to online censorship, CCP police are also closely monitoring the activities of active dissidents and "Tiananmen Mothers." On the eve of June 4th, many people were guarded, closely monitored, or traveled.
Hong Kong used to be the center of the annual June 4 commemoration, but now similar activities have become "criminal" in Hong Kong. However, with the ban on commemorative activities in Hong Kong, this year's June 4 commemoration activities have blossomed all over the world. There are Chinese organizations in Taiwan and major cities in Europe and the United States to mourn. The embassies and consulates of Western countries in Hong Kong have also posted commemorative posts on social media.
