Elderly and youth fall to the ground without warning in China
In addition, in the past week or so, at least dozens of "falling on the ground" videos have been released across the mainland, showing that both old people and young men and women frequently fall to the ground without warning. This is also similar to the situation when the Wuhan virus broke out.

The covid death rate of young people and children is high in CCP China
After the CCP “loosened” the epidemic prevention measures, officials began to publicize that the epidemic is only equivalent to the “big flu”, which mainly threatens the elderly with underlying diseases and has almost no impact on children. In fact, although the elderly accounted for the majority of the recent deaths in mainland China, there were also young people and children among them. Moreover, the number of deaths is alarming, showing that although the overall death rate is not too high, it is not as low as officially advertised.

At least 2,700 people died from covid in one day in 2022 vs less than 300 corpses per day in 2018
Hong Kong media recently quoted data that about 2,700 people died in Beijing in one day. According to public data in 2018, Beijing cremated less than 300 corpses per day on average. At present, if Hebei, Henan, Liaoning and other epidemic outbreak areas are added, the number of deaths from the epidemic is quite large.
News (12)
Those who have not been covi-vaccinated are not infected
Regarding the reason for the seriousness of the epidemic in the mainland, some people speculate that it may be because the CCP has "sealed and controlled" it for three years, and the Chinese people have not experienced large-scale infections, so their immunity is low. Others suspect that it may be caused by the side effects of the Chinese-made vaccine. Recently, it has been reported on the Internet that people who have been vaccinated in some families or units are infected, but those who have not been vaccinated are not infected.
News (13)
The CCP may have concealed the new mutation of Omicron
Some people also questioned that the CCP may have concealed the new mutation of the virus. Officials publicly acknowledged that the Omicron strain circulating in Beijing caused more severe symptoms than the Guangzhou strain. Recently, it was reported on the Internet that the BQ.1.1 strain known as "Cerberus" appeared in Beijing, causing many severe cases. The official media hurriedly "refuted the rumors" and said that the BQ.1.1 strain had already appeared in China, but it was "not very toxic" and "has not spread on a large scale."

A political and legal official in Beijing revealed that during the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, nosocomial infections in Beijing hospitals were already very serious, and the authorities have been concealing it. It was completely out of control in early December, and even retired high-ranking officials died in large numbers, before the authorities "let go" of the epidemic prevention.
News (15)
Beijing covid epidemic went serious during the 20th National Congress period
On 19 December 2022, Radio Free Asia published an interview with an official from the political and legal system in Beijing. The official said that the outbreak in Beijing did not start after the "White Paper Movement". As early as during the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, nosocomial infections in major hospitals in Beijing were already very serious, and they were completely out of control by the beginning of this month. They are all strictly sealed by the authorities.
News (16)
Due to "dynamic clearing", Beijing hospitals dare not report nosocomial infection, patients prevented from discharge, medical staff restricted from going home
He said that at that time, it was still in the stage of "dynamic clearing". Without an order from the superior, the hospital did not dare to report nosocomial infection, and even could not treat patients according to the epidemic. Some infected patients were diagnosed with "urethral infection" and some were diagnosed with "unknown fever". Anyway, they cannot be said to be infected. At that time, the only thing the Beijing Municipal Health Commission and hospitals did was to prevent patients from being discharged from the hospital on the grounds of "epidemic prevention" and to restrict medical staff from going home.
News (17)
After Jiang Zemin died, the public then knew about the expansion of infection
It was not until the authorities announced the death of former CCP leader Jiang Zemin that information about the infection in Beijing was gradually released to the public. By this time, a large number of elderly infected persons had died or were critically ill. Beijing's medical resources collapsed before the official "release".
This political and legal official has a close family member who is recuperating in the hospital and has not been allowed to leave the hospital. Because of his "relationship", his relatives were able to test covi-positive in private, and then moved to many of the best hospitals in Beijing but he died a few days ago. The cause of death on the death certificate was written as "urethral infection". Finally, he waited 5 days for cremation.
He said that as a political and legal official, he has a lot of "social resources" in his hands. It can be said that less than 1% of the people in Beijing can reach his level, but his close relatives still suffer from this kind of tragedy. This made him realize instantly that he was even powerless to protect his relatives. He was furious that the authorities blamed the "white paper movement" for the outbreak.
News (18)
More than 6 Communist elderly members died from covid in Beijing
He said that Beijing's medical system has already exceeded its carrying capacity, and many high-level retired officials cannot receive effective treatment. As far as he knows, at least six elderly people above the department level died in the hospital due to delayed treatment. Ordinary people die even more.
He witnessed the horrors of the hospital while accompanying his relatives for treatment. He said that many of the elderly people who died were infected during the period before and after the CCP "let go". The mortuary of the hospital is really terrible now, the freezer is full, even on the ground, the corpses are stacked one by one like express delivery shelves. No funeral home in Beijing has a place to accept corpses, and appointments for cremation have to wait a week later.
Recently, a large number of videos have been uploaded on the Internet showing that the morgues and funeral parlors in Beijing, Shenyang and many cities in Hebei are full, and the cremation of remains has to wait for many days. The corridors of many hospitals are full of dead bodies that cannot be pulled out.
A lot of data show that the epidemic broke out in Beijing and other places long before the official "New Ten Measures" was issued on 7 December 2022. Officials of the World Health Organization also bluntly stated that it was not the CCP’s “let go” that caused the outbreak, but the CCP has realized that “dynamic clearing” cannot prevent the spread of the virus.

CCP accused of switching from dynamic clearing to re-opening, ignoring the safety of people's lives
However, the CCP’s sudden “laying down” after 7 December undoubtedly provided conditions for the virus to spread more rapidly. The Chinese people have accused the CCP of switching from one extreme to another, completely ignoring the safety of people's lives.

Hope China can control the pandemic, the U.S. State Department: The death toll of China's epidemic is worrying the world

After China recently relaxed the epidemic prevention restrictions, the epidemic situation in various places has intensified and the number of confirmed cases has surged. U.S. State Department spokesman Ned Price said on 19 December that considering the size of China's economy, the number of deaths from the epidemic in China worries the rest of the world, and the United States hopes that China can effectively respond to the local epidemic.
According to Reuters, Price mentioned in the State Department's daily press conference that the United States hopes that China can respond more effectively to the local epidemic in controlling the epidemic that will not only give China an advantage in epidemic prevention, but also benefit the rest of the world.
Price emphasized that as long as the virus is transmitted, it may mutate and pose a threat anywhere in the world. "The United States has observed this, which is why the United States is so focused on helping countries around the world respond to the epidemic."
China's death toll since lifting restrictions on 7 December is inconsistent with what has been seen in other countries following similar measures, with China's National Health Commission announcing two deaths on 19 December, the highest since 3 December. The death toll is still low after the epidemic has heated up, and it also makes the Chinese people suspect that the official statistics are falsified.

The official report has only two deaths from the epidemic in half a month. Netizens: Fooling ghosts
Reporters : Xia Dunhou and Liu Fang / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2022/12/19/a103601825.html
Recently, the number of deaths from the epidemic in Beijing has increased significantly, and cremation furnaces are burning day and night. However, according to the official death data, only two cases were reported within half a month. The outrageous data made the people angry.
Since the relaxation of epidemic prevention measures, the epidemic situation in Beijing and other places has soared, and the number of people infected with the epidemic has increased sharply. It has evolved from a medical run to a funeral run. Industry insiders in Beijing revealed to the media that the hospital morgues are full and funeral parlors are burning 24 hours a day. The relatively large funeral parlors in Babaoshan and Dongjiao in the city cremate more than 300 people every day but there are still more than 2,000 remains in the backlog.
According to the official data of the CCP, since 5 December 2022, there have been no deaths. It was not until Monday that two confirmed deaths in Beijing were reported, arousing heated discussions among netizens.
Netizens said, "Two new deaths in Beijing? You're fooling around, ask the crematorium." "Stop posting, it's all a joke, shame on you."
Some Beijing netizens also said, "My aunt passed away due to novel coronavirus pneumonia on Saturday afternoon. At that time, I was in the emergency room for a while."
Mainland Internet writer Mr. Jin: "The official statistical data is for political needs. The so-called politics is determined by looking at the likes and dislikes of that person in the South China Sea. So the statistical data is completely untrue. What the CCP officials say, it must be You have to look backwards to see the truth."

Mass infection began in mid-to-late November 2022
A big data self-media called "City Data Group" tried to use the search index of the "fever" keyword to estimate, and found that the mass infection in many cities began in mid-to-late November, which is consistent with the relevant conclusions of the World Health Organization. It is estimated that in the next year, the number of excess deaths in China may reach about 1.7 million.
The World Health Organization said last week that the virus was already "intensively spreading" in China long before China lifted its lockdown measures.
According to Wu Zunyou, the chief epidemiologist of the Communist Party of China, it is estimated that 140 to 420 million people will be infected in China this winter, and 126,000 to 672,000 people will die.
A few days ago, mainland media reported that former People's Daily reporter Yang Lianghua and former deputy editor-in-chief of China Youth Daily Zhou Zhichun died of the disease. Wang Delu, director of the Beijing Great Wall Strategic Research Institute, and former Shenyang Jinde football team player Wang Ruoji also died. None of the four are counted in the official figures.

Yangguo priority! New recruitment conditions for Chinese companies accused of discrimination

Recently, there have been cases in many places in China that when recruiting new employees, companies or schools include "priority of covi-positive status" in the recruitment conditions. This situation is in stark contrast to some companies' earlier emphasis on "don't be covi-positive" when recruiting personnel.
According to the mainland Chinese media "New Evening News", the recruitment advertisement of a Beijing catering company stated that the company "jointly offers nearly 300 positions under its brands, and gives priority to recruiting those who have recovered from covid!" in the "Recovered Infection Candidates" advertisement.
After the relevant news attracted media attention, the company's store staff confirmed to the media on 17 December 2022 that "the content of the recruitment advertisement is true and you can apply for the job based on the results of the nucleic acid test."
Image : Internet screenshot
In fact, similar situations have already appeared in many regions. It can be seen on social platforms and public accounts of recruitment information that whether it is full-time or part-time, some companies have included "priority of covi-positive status" in their recruitment conditions.
Image : Internet screenshot
The recruitment conditions announced by Henan Xinyang Vocational and Technical College also clearly stipulate that "Xiaoyang people" who have worked in restaurants in the past, have a health code and have been infected with the Omicron virus strain can be given priority. A restaurant in Lanzhou, Gansu also included "priority for those who have passed or are covi-positive" in the information for recruiting chefs.
Image : Internet screenshot
In this regard, Cheng Yang, a lawyer from Beijing Lantai Law Firm, said in an interview with the mainland media that the condition setting of "priority for those who have covi-positivity" is an unequal condition for those who are covi-negative, and it has been suspected of employment discrimination.
The irony is that not long ago, there were still many places in mainland China where the company’s recruitment conditions clearly stipulated that "no one who is covi-positive" or "has not been in the square cabin", so that those job seekers who have been infected with covid have been hit hard.
For example, in mid-July this year, a human resource manager in charge of the direct recruitment of a large-scale fresh food e-commerce platform in the Shanghai region was interviewed by China Business News. The company cannot offer job offers. The human resource manager explained that although he sympathized with the recovered covi- positive patients who could not find a job, the company did decide not to hire recovered covi-positive patients due to pressure from the regulatory authorities and in order not to cause trouble as much as possible.
The housekeeping company in Shanghai has also clearly stipulated that it will not recruit employees who have been "covi-positive". When the media called the housekeeping service platform to inquire about the conditions for nannies and housekeeping, the platform said that the employees met the requirements of "no covi-positive test and two inspections every three days".
In just a few months, the preconditions for Chinese companies to recruit personnel have turned around 180 degrees, which surprised many Chinese netizens and caused a lot of discussion.
Some netizens commented jokingly, "30 days in the east of the river, 30 days in the west of the river"; another netizen said that he was speechless, "I don't even know what to say."
Some netizens lamented, "Continuously go from one extreme to another"; another commented: "It's really Feng Shui turning around"; some netizens complained, "Hurry up and get all covi, otherwise you won't be able to find a job in the future." ; Some netizens ridiculed, "Chinese characteristics."

The problem is that Lee Teng-hui has long been expelled from the KMT party.” He lamented, “Why should the DPP be delisted? To be honest, I can’t find a reason, because the DPP that was deposed was the DPP with a good political record, and the KMT that came to power was the one that did bad things.”
