Chlorine dioxide destroys virus protein activity as anti-epidemic deodorization
Reporter : Xu Manyuan / Editor : Fang Ping / https://www.epochtimes.com/gb/22/12/14/n13884297.htm / Image : On 10 December 2022 (Saturday), Han Guangfu shared the principle of chlorine dioxide antibacterial and deodorizing with the alumni of the University of Southern California through video. (Xu Manyuan/The Epoch Times)
It is December. As the temperature plummets, the number of people sick is also increasing. Many people have sneezing, runny nose, and respiratory symptoms. Coupled with headache, fever makes people uncomfortable. In the post-epidemic era, people have begun to learn to co-exist with viruses in a healthy and flexible manner. In fact, in addition to spraying alcohol sanitizer and washing hands frequently, there are many other ways to maintain their own health.
Han Guangfu, a Southern California entrepreneur who won the 2022 "Overseas Taiwanese Excellence" Gold Award for his R&D and manufacturing of the chlorine dioxide antibacterial product series Newgyne, said that when it comes to sterilization, most people think of "alcohol" or "bleach". , In fact, "chlorine dioxide" also has a very powerful effect.

Han Guangfu found Yvana Hahn Corp in California to develop chlorine dioxide antibacterial products
When the pandemic broke out in 2020, scientists and public health experts worked hard to sequence the virus gene, and the global vaccine research and development, Han Guangfu and his team began to think: Do effective epidemic prevention methods other than vaccines exist? With this in mind, they founded the biotechnology company Yvana Hahn Corp and developed Newgyne, a line of chlorine dioxide antibacterial products.

Chlorine dioxide protects humans against harmful microorganisms
Han Guang-fu, who graduated from the Chemical Engineering Department of Cheng Kung University in Taiwan, said that generally speaking, when introducing chemical products and letting people use them, they will consider efficacy and safety. Chlorine dioxide is a safe substance recognized by both the U.S. Food Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency. A large number of studies in the scientific community have confirmed that chlorine dioxide has a surprising removal effect and excellent human safety against harmful microorganisms mainly composed of proteins, including viruses.

Chlorine dioxide inactivates bacteria and viruses, a subsititute for vaccines
Han Guangfu further explained that through the oxidation mechanism of chlorine dioxide, a large number of harmful microorganisms existing in the air and the contact surface can be suppressed, or the protein and double-layer fat structure of bacteria and viruses can be destroyed, making them lose their biological activity, effectively reducing the risk of human exposure to harmful microorganisms. or various diseases caused by inhalation, reducing the risk of infection. Han Guangfu said: "Chlorine dioxide does not eliminate or kill bacteria and viruses, but inactivates bacteria and viruses."

Nicotine odour is destroyed when it comes into contact with chlorine dioxide
Because the main component protein of a single cell is composed of more than 20 kinds of amino acids, when the protein is in contact with chlorine dioxide, its structure will be changed and its biological activity will be changed. In addition, chlorine dioxide can also deodorize, because most odorous substances contain sulphur, and odours such as those of nicotine and garlic will be destroyed when they come into contact with chlorine dioxide.

Bleach produces trihalomethanes that may harm the human body
Chlorine dioxide does not have the same bactericidal principle as sodium hypochlorite, the main component of bleach. Chlorine dioxide destroys the structure of germs by "oxidation"; while bleach uses "chlorination" to destroy bacteria, which will produce trihalomethanes, and a large amount of trihalomethanes may cause harm to the human body.
Because it is a special single electron transfer mechanism, chlorine dioxide is a selective oxidant. When it attacks the organic molecule clusters with electrons in the periphery, it will snatch an electron and become a chloride ion. Unlike chlorine gas, it is an addition or substitution reaction between chlorine atoms and reactants.

Newgyne is the only chlorine dioxide antibacterial deodorant in the world, chlorine oxide in wet wipes
Han Guangfu said that Newgyne is currently the only gas antibacterial deodorant on the market. It is a specially formulated chlorine dioxide active ingredient made of food and pharmaceutical grade raw materials. Chlorine oxide is distributed in the environment, or wiped on various contact surfaces in the form of wet wipes for antibacterial disinfection.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on Tuesday (13 December 2022) asked the state Supreme Court to set up a large jury team to investigate "wrongdoing" related to the covid vaccine, including spreading false and misleading claims about the vaccine's effectiveness.
The Republican governor held a video roundtable with doctors, researchers and victims of "mRNA vaccine adverse events" on Tuesday and live-streamed the discussions, before his office announced that it would take "aggressive action" to investigate links to COVID-19) vaccine-related "crime and wrongdoing" and set up Florida's own public health integrity commission.
“We have access to these data whether they want to provide it or not,” DeSantis said on a conference call. “Misleading and misrepresenting is illegal in Florida, especially when you’re talking about the efficacy of a drug. "
He also said that vaccine makers such as Moderna made a lot of money from the covid virus vaccine order.
In a petition calling for a grand jury, released late Tuesday, the Florida government said it believed drug companies had a financial interest in creating an atmosphere where people believed that getting a coronavirus vaccine would ensure their Do not spread the virus to others.
"The federal government, medical associations and other experts have created an expectation that getting a COVID-19 vaccine is a moral or civic duty, and that choosing not to be vaccinated against covid is selfish and harmful to others." Call for grand jury inquiry stated in the petition.
The petition also stated that "it is unimaginable that so many influential people have come to this view on their own", and that individuals and companies supporting vaccines "created these views for financial gain."
DeSantis said he is creating a public health integrity board because he does not trust the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
"Our CDC, at this point, anything they release, you just assume, at this point, it's not worth the paper it's printed on. It's not serving a useful purpose," DeSantis said at Tuesday's roundtable "It's really in the service of advancing the narrative," the meeting said.
"We will be able to gain more information and hold more accountable those who committed this type of misconduct," DeSantis said.
He said he expected court approval and a grand jury could sit in the Tampa Bay area.

Yuan Hongbing talks about the CCP's sudden abandonment of dynamic clearing and the secrets of Jiang Zemin's death

The CCP has adhered to the harsh "dynamic clearing" (zero-covid) epidemic prevention policy for nearly three years. After creating a large number of humanitarian disasters and severely damaging the economy, recently the sudden release led to a surge in the national epidemic and social chaos. Well-known scholar Yuan Hongbing revealed to The Epoch Times the internal reasons for this shift, and disclosed the secrets of the CCP’s internal struggle behind the recent death of Jiang Zemin.
News (10)
Li Qiang's proposal to abandon dynamic clearing involves two major reasons
Yuan Hongbing, a jurist living in Australia, told The Epoch Times reporter on 13 December 2022 that he recently received information that Xi Jinping’s confidant, Li Qiang, who will be the prime minister, proposed to Xi that the WHO may officially announce the covid epidemic in 2023 a normal common illness. Ordinary covid outbreaks will no longer be treated as a major epidemic. If China continues to practise zero-covid lockdown, it will become an isolated island in the international community and a joke of the international community. Li Qiang's idea is that before the WHO declares that covid is a common illness, China must first announce the abandonment of the zero-covid policy.
The authorities believe that dynamic clearing must be abandoned. Another key reason is that China's economic situation has seriously deteriorated, and the main sign is that local finances are on the verge of bankruptcy. Yuan Hongbing said, "The CCP now relies on printing a lot of money to get through the financial crisis but this will lead to hyperinflation."
Yuan Hongbing said that the Communist Party will not publicly announce that it will abandon Xi Jinping's zero-covid policy but it will actually let it go and no longer lock down the city but such a hasty way of letting go is like a roller coaster, which will inevitably lead to the spread of the epidemic in China, which will lead to a more serious social crisis and cause more losses of lives.
Yuan Hongbing said, "The CCP has suddenly and completely let go of the so-called epidemic prevention and control of the so-called concentration camps that were extremely harsh and inhumane. From this extreme approach of ice and fire, we can see that the ruling team is composed of sycophants, composed of mediocre officials who are not responsible to the country and the people, but only to power. They are incapable of governing the country.”

The CCP cannot successfully survive the economic crisis
Recently, the government departments of Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Guangdong, Sichuan and other provinces have organized economic and trade missions from key cities to go overseas to grab orders or attract investment.
Yuan Hongbing told The Epoch Times that the CCP's liberalization of epidemic prevention cannot restore the economy. Because Xi Jinping's return to Mao Zedong's line is the established policy of the CCP, now the authorities claim to continue to open up, and the so-called investment attraction is just an emergency measure to deal with the current economic crisis, and it is impossible to succeed.
"The fundamental reason is that Xi Jinping's more than ten years in power have put China on the path of Mao Zedong's fundamentalism. The domestic chaos caused by the epidemic is still superficial, and the biggest crisis is the financial crisis," he said.
Mainland Chinese media "First Finance and Economics" reported on 9 December that in response to the impact of the epidemic, the Ministry of Finance of the Communist Party of China issued 1 trillion yuan of national bonds in 2020. The pressure of the economic downturn this year is even greater, and the fiscal revenue and expenditure are more stretched. The authorities decided to issue another 750 billion RMB of special treasury bonds.
Voice of America reported on 9 December that most experts believe that the Chinese economy is currently in the worst state since the 1970s (except for the first year of thecovid outbreak of the covid epidemic in 2020).

White paper movement rocks Xi Jinping
About two weeks before the CCP announced the relaxation of epidemic prevention, a fire broke out in a residential area in Xinjiang, causing serious casualties due to the blockade, and then a nationwide anti-clearing protest broke out, known as the "white paper movement" or "blank paper revolution." In the evening of 27 November 2022, on the streets of Shanghai, protesters chanted slogans such as "Communist Party step down" and "Xi Jinping step down".
Regarding the white paper movement, Yuan Hongbing told The Epoch Times that after the 20th National Congress, there is no longer any force within the entire CCP to contend with Xi Jinping. However, in the first three days after the rise of the white paper movement, the powerful stability maintenance forces carefully built by Xi Jinping were almost completely flattened, allowing the movement to quickly expand to the whole country. According to CCP insiders, the incident shocked Xi Jinping greatly. Xi found himself extremely isolated. Although none of the gangs became visible rebels, there was a rebellious energy hidden inside and outside the party that was extremely disgusting to him.
On 1 December 2022, Charles Michel, President of the European Council, visited Beijing and held a meeting with Xi Jinping. The "South China Morning Post" reported on 2 December that Xi Jinping explained to Michel why there were recent protests in China, "He claimed that after three years of the epidemic, he encountered problems, and students or teenagers in universities were frustrated." This is the first time Xi Jinping talked about the "white paper movement".
On 4 December 2022, an article published by the "Hebei Communist Youth League" seemed to confirm the shocking effect of the white paper movement on Zhongnanhai. The article stated, “A few days ago, opinions on some local epidemic prevention and control measures appeared concentratedly online and offline. Through timely communication and improvement, the matter has subsided.”
The "Wall Street Journal" reported on 7 December that the above-mentioned article is equivalent to a public acknowledgment that the public is angry at the long-term strict epidemic prevention measures. This may be the first official admission that the "dynamic zeroing" policy approved by Xi Jinping himself is flawed; It is also rare to respond to public protests against epidemic prevention measures.

Secrets of power struggle behind Jiang Zemin's death
When the white paper movement was on the rise, on 30 November 2022, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) suddenly announced the death of Jiang Zemin, the former leader of the Communist Party of China. After that, a week of official mourning activities began, and the maintenance of national stability was upgraded.
On 6 December, the authorities held a memorial service for Jiang Zemin in Beijing, and Xi Jinping's eulogy was full of praise for Jiang.
Yuan Hongbing revealed to The Epoch Times that according to the information he received from insiders in the CCP, the content of the eulogy was basically prepared by Zeng Qinghong.
"If the memorial service is not held according to this content, the Jiang family will ask relatives and friends to hold a personal funeral for Jiang Zemin, and there is no need for the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to bother. It was under such a threat that Xi Jinping had to make a major frustrating compromise."
Yuan Hongbing said that Xi Jinping's eulogy was basically based on the content drafted by Zeng Qinghong, except that on Zeng Qinghong's original writing, Jiang Zemin's exemplary implementation of Deng Xiaoping's abolition of life tenure for leading cadres, these Chinese characters were removed.
Yuan Hongbing revealed that Li Shulei, head of the Central Propaganda Department, made suggestions to Xi Jinping. Facing the counterattack of Jiang Zemin's family, on the one hand, he tried his best to meet their demands in terms of concluding Jiang's coffin in a significant passive state. On the other hand, it is necessary to step up preparations for a comprehensive purge of the remaining forces of Jiang Zemin's family, including a large number of officials who have been registered by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, as well as many private entrepreneurs related to money and power transactions. That is after Xi Jinping's forces have fully taken over the State Council, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, and the CPPCC.
Yuan Hongbing said that Jiang sent people to take advantage of Jiang Zemin's death to attack Xi Jinping but they did not expect that Xi Jinping would make such a big concession and make a conclusion on Jiang Zemin according to their wishes. It means that their counterattack was resolved by Xi Jinping this time. From then on, the so-called Jiang faction was the tree fell and the monkeys scattered.
"Insiders in the CCP say that after the two sessions in March next year, (Xi) will definitely use the name of anti-corruption to completely wipe out the remnants of Jiang Zemin's family. To confiscate their wealth, which is incomparably wealthy, will be used in three aspects: The first is the secret funds for preparing to launch operations across the Taiwan Strait, the second is the funds for maintaining stability, and the third is to alleviate the most urgent financial difficulties of the central and local governments" Yuan Hongbing said.

Recently, a new mutant strain of SARS-CoV-2 (novel coronavirus, CCP virus, covi) has emerged in China, which is Omicron BQ.1. Cases of this mutant strain have appeared in nine provinces of China.
On 14 December 2022, the CCP’s CCTV stated that the CCP’s Center for Disease Control and Prevention stated that BQ.1 is the sixth generation of the covi mutant Omicron BA.5 produced through the mutation of the virus during the spread of the population branch, BQ.1.1 is the first generation sub-branch of BQ.1.
The pathogenicity of these evolutionary sub-branches is significantly weakened, and the proportion of severe disease and death is significantly lower than that of the early circulating mutant viruses.
According to reports, China has so far detected 49 cases of BQ.1 and its sub-branches among local cases in nine provinces. The current prevailing strains in China are still Omicron BA.5.2 and BF.7 mutant strains.
After the recent loosening of restrictions, the epidemic situation in China has worsened, and the number of covi-positive patients in Beijing has increased sharply. Previously, it was circulated on the Internet that "the symptoms of infection in Beijing are more serious than those in Guangzhou."
The CCP’s official media People’s Daily interviewed CCP experts on the 12th and said that the mainstream Omicron BA.5.2 branch in Guangzhou has a high proportion of asymptomatic symptoms, and the clinical symptoms are milder than Beijing’s Omicron BF.7 branch.
Symptoms after infection with the BF.7 variant strain mainly include high fever, persistent cough, body pain, headache, sore throat, altered sense of smell, and loss of appetite.

Covi is given ample opportunity to mutate in a large-scale epidemic
Editor : Zhongkang / https://www.aboluowang.com/2022/1214/1841833.html
Just a few days ago, the British newspaper Financial Times quoted Anthony Fauci, the chief anti-epidemic expert in the United States, as warning that China's withdrawal from the zero-covid policy may trigger a wave of infections, create conditions for new variants of the virus, and harm the world.
Fauci pointed out that the new wave of infections will hit China's large elderly population. In particular, about 85 million people over the age of 60 in China have not received the third dose of covi vaccine. People with underlying health problems will be the most affected. . Fauci said that if China does not actively promote vaccination campaigns, once they re-open, there will be a wave of infection; if there is a large-scale epidemic in China, it will give covi the opportunity to mutate into a new variant of the virus. Fauci said: "When there is a large number of viruses circulating, the virus is given ample opportunity to mutate. When the virus is given the opportunity to mutate, the virus will form potential new variants. Once a completely new variant of the virus appears, it will have a huge impact on the rest of the world."

A "blank paper movement" detonated by the fire in Urumqi caused by the CCP's extreme epidemic prevention measures has prompted more Chinese people to recognize the essence of the CCP , They are determined to break away from the evil party, withdraw from the CCP's party, regiment, and team organizations ("Three Quits"), and express their solidarity with the "White Paper Movement."
The "Three Quits" is a movement in which people voluntarily quit the CCP organization triggered by the "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party" published by The Epoch Times on November 19, 2004. This series of articles profoundly and thoroughly revealed the true face of the CCP's evil. As of 14 December 2022, more than 400 million Chinese have withdrawn from the CCP's party, regiment, and team organizations.
The following is an excerpt of the "Three Quits" statement that people recently issued on the website of the Quitting the Party Center.
People 'woke up' by fire
34 people including Chen Xiaoquan, Wang Dafa, and Yang Qun from Dujiangyan City in Sichuan Province declared their withdrawal from the Communist Youth League and the Young Pioneers. The statement read: "Thinking that young people today have been fed 'poisonous milk' by the CCP for so many years, most of them have become modern slaves of thought, refinementists, and little pinks. I didn't expect that a fire in Urumqi could burn and wake up so many people, not only many people have sent condolences and grievances in the WeChat circle of friends, but also so many Chinese people with young people as the main force have taken to the streets."
On November 24, 2022, a fire broke out in a high-rise residential building in Urumqi, Xinjiang. The fire burned for nearly 3 hours, killing 10 people according to the CCP media. People have questioned the death toll, believing that the CCP’s closure of the city has delayed rescue efforts. The fire sparked a "white paper movement" to protest the Chinese regime.
Chen Xiaoquan and other declarants found that there are still many Chinese people with conscience, and the CCP is not as powerful as it seems.
"Blank A4 papers make us ashamed, shocked and excited! Although there are no words, they are the most shocking words, the most intelligent expressions, and the most beautiful patterns in the world, and let us see hope. !"
They expressed their support for the "white paper movement" of the people by withdrawing from the evil organization of the CCP.
Cai Zhixun, a Korean ethnicity from Yanbian, Jilin Province, declared his resignation from the CCP, saying that after the fire broke out in Urumqi, Xinjiang, he was very angry at the bad things done by the CCP, and he also "completely understood the evil of the CCP!"
He said that the fire that killed 10 people (the actual number is more) was caused by the Communist Party’s strict epidemic prevention and control. People "live in hunger and imprisonment", and he hopes that the CCP will perish soon.
Liu Jinchang from Jinan, Shandong quit the Communist Youth League, saying: "The 'white paper movement' that flocked to the whole country made me realize the essence of the evil CCP and (its) unpopularity! I will dedicate myself to freedom and democracy. This life!"
"Before the light comes, there will always be a moment of darkness, and if someone has to step up, it's me!" he added.
Xiao Zhang, a junior high school student in Shandong, voluntarily quit the Young Pioneers. After he climbed over the wall and learned about the outside world, he "realized that the Communist Party is an evil party, and everything that does not conform to its rule will be wiped out. From the Cultural Revolution to the so-called 'zeroing out' ’, all kinds of ugliness of the Communist Party were revealed in front of the people of the country.”
The fire in Urumqi, the protest of Foxconn employees in Zhengzhou, etc., "made tens of millions of Chinese people angry", and the CCP did not solve the problem but eliminated those who raised the problem, and then blocked the news. He said that the brainwashing propaganda of loving the party and the country since he was a child was "really disgusting", so the junior high school student announced his withdrawal from the team.
"Sincerely pray that the evil Communist Party will perish as soon as possible"
Zhang Heping, who announced his withdrawal from the Young Pioneers, said that he must "draw a clear line with the bandits and the Communist Party." After reading the book "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party" in high school, he had a certain understanding of the evil nature of the CCP. I felt disgusted, but when it came to graduation and postgraduate entrance examinations, I had to actively cooperate, was brainwashed, and became a "supporter" of the CCP.
However, especially since this year, "Xi Jinping's epidemic prevention policy has tossed us over and over again." During this process, I witnessed "contradictions between the CCP's henchmen and the masses of the people."
"The CCP has already started to default on our wages, and the CCP's party sticks still make us feel satisfied." He said, "Seeing that I am surrounded by a group of tool people who have been brainwashed by the CCP, I have no choice but to hide my views. , but the CCP’s evil coup has intensified, I can’t bear it, and I can’t vomit, so I simply confide my heart on this platform.”
"I sincerely pray that the evil Communist Party will perish as soon as possible, and that I can survive in this chaotic environment safely!"
"Salute to Martyr Peng Lifa and compatriots who participated in the White Paper Movement, thank you for everything you have done for the freedom of the Chinese people!" he wrote.
Recognizing the CCP’s deceptive education
Hubei Zhang Jiang joined the CCP in 1996, when he was a sophomore in college. He said that he lacked social experience and political judgment, coupled with the brainwashing education of the CCP, he regarded joining the CCP as a way of self-affirmation. But later, from more than 20 years of work and social experience after graduation, he gradually discovered too much of the CCP’s phenomenon of “saying one thing and doing another.”
He originally thought that the policies and starting point of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China were good, but that the cadres at the grassroots level had problems, but he found that "they never thought about solving the fundamental problems of economic development, social development, people's livelihood, etc., and the principles of their actions Just keep the hat on your head and the chair under your ass".
In the past few years of the epidemic, as a member of the government and business delegation organized by the government, he has been to many countries, and he has also gone abroad alone to engage in business work. He has begun to understand the real situation of other countries from shallow to deep, so that it triggered a strong conflict between the two thoughts in his heart. "It's ridiculous that I actually use the so-called party spirit to educate myself or lie to myself."
"I saw what the Communist Party did, saw the lies they fabricated, changed ways to protect hats and chairs, changed ways to search for ordinary people, and realized that they were doing 'for the RMB' under the banner of 'serving the people service' business."
Zhang Jiang voluntarily resigned from the Communist Party of China, and said, "If I have the opportunity to participate in the process of promoting China's real freedom and democracy in my lifetime, I will devote myself wholeheartedly!"

The Colorado Secretary of State’s office announced on Monday (12 December) that the recount results for the state’s 3rd Congressional District confirmed that the federal Rep. Lauren Boebert defeated her Democratic opponent Adam Frisch in her re-election bid.
Boebert lost three votes to Frisch's one compared to the initial count, according to the recount announced Monday night by Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold , the two ended up with a gap of 546 votes, with Frisch still trailing Boebert and losing the election.
A recount also took place in Colorado's House of Representatives 43rd district election, but again it did not change the outcome, with the Democratic candidate winning the race with a 405-vote lead in the initial count.
"The mandatory recount of the U.S. Congress' 3rd District and the permissive recount of the State House's 43rd District have been completed and the results of the race confirmed. Elections in Colorado are safe, secure and accurate." Griswold Say.
Under Colorado law, a mandatory recount occurs when two candidates are separated by less than 0.5 percent of the vote.
The first count of votes for the Nov. 8 general election showed Bobert, known as "Little Pepper," only 0.16 percentage points ahead of Frisch out of nearly 327,000 votes cast.
On Sunday (11 December), Boebert said after the counties in her constituency completed the recount: "The Republicans have been entrusted with the task of a majority, and we must now prove that we can not only pass the strength, but also pass the recount. The temperature in Washington, D.C. can be lowered through gracious leadership."
"Our conservative policies will help all Americans overcome the challenges we face so we each have the opportunity to live our best lives," she tweeted.
The "MAGA" star's tone of voice on Sunday seemed more subdued than in the past.
MAGA is the abbreviation of "Make America Great Again" (Make America Great Again), which was the campaign slogan of former President Trump in 2016.
First elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2020, Boebert stood out during her first term for her fierce style, love of guns and passionate support for Trump, and was a frequent subject of national media coverage. She is also one of 147 Republicans in the 2021 House of Representatives to vote against certifying the results of the 2020 presidential election.
Frisch threw in the towel after the initial vote count, saying he would not call for a recount and telling his supporters not to donate to his campaign for the recount.
"Please save money on your groceries, your rent and your kids," he said at the time.
But Republicans later accused Frisch of failing to formally drop out of the race, allowing a recount that could have been prevented.
In a statement Monday, Frisch thanked his supporters and election workers and said, "I respect and accept the Colorado Secretary of State's certification and wholeheartedly affirm the sanctity of Colorado's elections."

TikTok is blocked by the U.S. Congress and banned by many state governments

TikTok, a subsidiary of China’s ByteDance Company, because of its relationship with the CCP and its involvement in endangering the national security of the United States, members of Congress proposed bipartisan Bill, seeking to ban its operation in the United States; at the same time, several states have banned its installation and use in state government equipment and networks.
Republican Senator Marco Rubio (D-Fla.), Republican Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wisconsin) and Democratic Rep. Raya Clichy on Tuesday (13 December Raja Krishnamoorthi (Illinois) has introduced bills seeking to ban TikTok to both houses of Congress.
Lawmakers condemned TikTok's ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) through its parent company, ByteDance, and said the company was harvesting data on Americans for the communist regime.
"The federal government has yet to take any meaningful action to protect American users from the threat of TikTok," Rubio said. "This isn't about creative videos, this is about apps that collect data on tens of millions of American children and adults every day."
"We know it's being used to manipulate information flows and influence elections. We know it's a response to the People's Republic of China. No more time wasted on pointless negotiations with Chinese puppet companies. Now is the time to outright ban Beijing time to control TikTok."
In January, Republicans will take control of the House of Representatives. It can be expected that several committee members led by the Republican Party will put pressure on this matter.
“This social media company has misled or provided Congress with false information about its data sharing and privacy practices,” Rep. James Comer, R-Calif., told National Review recently. ) of the next chairman.
TikTok is a 'weaponized' app
TikTok has long been the subject of congressional scrutiny because of its ties to China and sending user data to China-based ByteDance.
Chinese law classifies data as a state resource and requires companies located in China or majority-owned by Chinese entities to hand over all data, including proprietary source code and other intellectual property, to Chinese authorities upon request.
To this end, security experts have described TikTok as a "weaponized" app and said the app has stolen vast amounts of data from Americans that could be sent to China. This data includes not only browsing history, but also facial recognition information, keystrokes, passwords, banking information, and even anything copied to the virtual clipboard by the user.
Likewise, FBI Director Christopher Wray has repeatedly said it is a national security threat to the United States, and ByteDance's control of the app's algorithms makes it vulnerable to manipulation by the Chinese Communist Party, among other concerns.
The Chinese (CCP) regime “could use it to control the data collection of millions of users or to control recommendation algorithms, if they wanted to, to influence operations, or to control the software on millions of devices, which makes it powerful. The opportunity technically compromises personal devices," Wray said at a House Homeland Security Committee hearing on Nov. 15.
This concern is not unfounded.
TikTok executives have previously admitted to censoring information on the app, suppressing videos critical of the Chinese Communist Party or discussing the regime's atrocities in Xinjiang and Tiananmen Square.
When asked why, executives typically reply that the platform was not designed for political content. However, this answer is problematic because the company failed to take action on 90% of its ads that contained misinformation targeting the US 2022 midterm elections, including spreading completely false content about the US voting process.

Congress introduces bipartisan bill to ban TikTok
The three lawmakers saw their legislation as an urgent attempt to fend off an increasingly hostile Chinese regime. Gallagher said the CCP is an adversary and cannot be allowed to use the U.S. market to harm American citizens.
"TikTok is digital fentanyl, and it's addicting Americans while harvesting their data and censoring their news," Gallagher said. "It's also an increasingly powerful media company owned by ByteDance that eventually reports to the Chinese Communist Party, America's arch-rival."
"Allowing the app to continue to operate in the U.S. is like allowing the Soviet Union to buy The New York Times, The Washington Post, and major broadcast networks during the Cold War. No country that cares about its own security will allow that to happen, and that is why now is the time to ban TikTok and all other CCP-controlled apps before it's too late."

Anti-Social CCP Act is introduced for TikTok is poisoning American teens
The bill, called the Anti-Social CCP Act (ANTI-SOCIAL CCP Act), will prohibit TikTok from operating in the United States, thereby protecting Americans from the influence of the CCP, Russia or other related foreign social media.
The U.S. has been conducting a national security review of TikTok since 2019, when the Trump administration said the company should be sold to a U.S.-based corporate entity.
TikTok's poisoning of American teens
In November, Senator Rubio and Representative Gallagher published an article in the Washington Post calling for TikTok to be banned across the United States.
Everyone from the FBI director to the FCC commissioner to cybersecurity experts has explicitly mentioned the risk of TikTok being used to spy on Americans.
In the article, they stated that the United States is falling into a new cold war with the CCP, and senior military advisers warned that the Cold War may heat up at any time because of the Taiwan issue. Yet millions of Americans increasingly rely on TikTok to consume news, share content, and connect with friends.
TikTok has more than 100 million users in the United States, is used by two-thirds of American teenagers, and has more than 1 billion users worldwide.
According to Forbes, according to LinkedIn data, 23 directors of ByteDance had previously worked for the CCP propaganda agency, and now at least 15 ByteDance employees are working for them. In addition, the company's editor-in-chief is also the secretary of its internal party committee, emphasizing that the committee will "lead" "all product lines and business lines" to ensure that ByteDance's products have the "correct political direction."
The company's ownership of TikTok is problematic for two reasons. First, the app can track the location of phone users and collect internet browsing data -- even when users are visiting unrelated websites.
The ability of TikTok, and the CCP, to investigate every keystroke teens type on their phones is troubling. With the app, Beijing could also collect sensitive national security information from U.S. government employees and build dossiers on millions of Americans for blackmail or espionage.
According to a recent Forbes report, ByteDance plans to use the app to monitor the location of U.S. citizens for undisclosed purposes unrelated to advertising, which is mind-boggling.
TikTok is blocked in the United States and banned by many state governments
Nebraska banned the use of TikTok on government devices as early as August 2020, around the same time the Trump administration is trying to ban the app entirely in the United States.
"The Chinese (Chinese Communist Party) government has long had a systematic and covert effort to obtain sensitive data from the U.S. government, companies and individuals," said Nebraska Republican Gov. Pete Ricketts. “As an app owned by a Chinese company, TikTok is legally obliged to provide the data of its users to the country’s communist regime. In order to maintain the security of Nebraska-owned data and guard against intrusive cyber activity by the Chinese communist government, We have decided to ban the use of TikTok on state devices."
“President Trump has mentioned impending action against TikTok, and for good reason. With their parent company in China, apps like TikTok, WeChat, etc. pose a significant threat to the personal data of U.S. citizens, not to mention the CCP’s content censorship tools .”
So far, seven states have prohibited state employees or government equipment from using TikTok, including Nebraska, South Dakota, South Carolina, Texas, Maryland, Alabama and Utah , and more and more states are following suit.
Alabama Republican Gov. Kay Ivey said in a statement on Monday, "It is disturbing that TikTok collects a large amount of data, much of which is related to the app's video-sharing purposes." There is no legitimate connection. Therefore, the use of TikTok involving national IT infrastructure creates an unacceptable vulnerability for Chinese infiltration operations.”
Ive also ordered executive branch agencies to take all necessary steps to prevent TikTok from accessing sensitive data.
Utah Republican Governor Spencer Cox (Spencer Cox) has also implemented a ban on TikTok within the state government.
At a news conference on Monday, Cox ordered state employees not to download or use the TikTok app or access any TikTok website on any state-owned device. The latest executive order also applies to all executive branches of the state.
"China's access to data collected by TikTok poses a threat to our cybersecurity," Cox said in a statement. "So we deleted our TikTok account and issued the same order on all state-owned devices. We must protect Utahans and make sure Utahans can trust our state's security systems."
Texas Governor Greg Abbott (Greg Abbott) announced last week that he had issued a ban on the use of TikTok on state government devices due to security concerns. Abbott also wrote to Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan on the matter, urging him to pass legislation codifying his latest directive and ensuring that the state's local government departments have similar Require.
South Dakota Republican Gov. Kristi Noem expressed similar concerns when she banned TikTok from government devices last month, arguing that "TikTok poses a growing threat to national security" and that a ban was needed to "protect Private Data of South Dakota Citizens".
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan last week also banned TikTok, as well as all apps developed by Chinese companies Huawei Technologies, Tencent Holdings and Alibaba, and Russian company Kaspersky, in an emergency cybersecurity order.
On 5 December 2022, South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster called for a ban on the use of TikTok on all state government electronic devices. In a letter to Marcia Adams, executive director of the state administration, McMaster demanded that the TikTok social media platform be permanently removed and that anyone using government department equipment be prevented from accessing the platform.
"Protecting our state's critical cyber infrastructure from domestic and foreign threats is key to ensuring the health, safety, and well-being of our citizens and businesses," McMaster said in the letter. “As federal law enforcement and national security officials warn that TikTok poses a clear and present danger to its users, a growing bipartisan coalition in Congress is pushing to ban TikTok from use in the United States.”
Several Republican members of Congress from Wisconsin urged Democratic Gov. Tony Evers last week to ban TikTok on Wisconsin government devices. In a letter, they called TikTok "the evil Chinese Communist Party (CCP) spyware that spies on American citizens."
Meanwhile, Tennessee Republican Gov. Bill Lee's office said in a statement this week to local radio station WKRN that the app was stealing users after Sen. Marsha Blackburn suggested that After the information, action has been taken to ban TikTok.
Sen. Ryan McDougle, R-Va., told a local media last week that he plans to introduce a bill to ban the app next month, according to state Democratic Sen. Mark Warner. A state-level ban is "absolutely appropriate". McDougall said the best-case scenario would be for Gov. Glenn Youngkin to issue an executive order banning TikTok immediately.
Six Wisconsin congressmen, including Republican Sen. Ron Johnson, an outspoken TikTok critic, called on their governor on Tuesday to "ban TikTok from Wisconsin government devices and lead by example by removing TikTok from your own devices." ".
Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis also banned his state from purchasing TikTok and other technology products and services with ties to "foreign countries of concern."
TikTok spokesman Jamal Brown said in a statement to The Hill on Monday: "We are disappointed that so many states have jumped on the (ban) bandwagon, according to a report on TikTok. baseless, politically charged lies to create policy." "Unfortunately, many state agencies, offices, and universities in these states will no longer be able to use TikTok to build community and connect with voters."
Background
Since June, a series of reports have revealed that engineers in China have accessed TikTok user data; another team based in China plans to monitor the location of specific U.S. citizens; operation; and 300 TikTok and ByteDance employees are from the Chinese Communist Party media and so on.
According to the National Review (NR), this shows that TikTok is not far from ByteDance. and the relationship between ByteDance and the CCP is obvious: The company has set up a party branch guided by the CCP’s ideology, and signed a propaganda contract to whitewash the CCP’s large-scale abuse of Uyghurs, etc.
In an interview with Axios last month, Brendan Carr, one of five FCC commissioners, told news outlets that the government should enforce restrictions and ban on TikTok due to concerns about TikTok's data collection.
At least nine states have taken action against TikTok "based on the serious security threat it poses," Carr said in a tweet on Monday.
Indiana also sued the app, saying it deceived users about China's access to its data and exposed children to adult content.
The U.S. military previously banned its members from using TikTok on government equipment.
Trump tried in 2020 to prevent new U.S. users from downloading WeChat and TikTok, a move that would effectively block the use of those apps in the United States.
On 5 August 2020, then US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo (Mike Pompeo) delivered a speech to the media, announcing that the federal government would step up efforts to protect Americans' electronic data from being obtained by the CCP, which controls the Chinese government.
In June 2021, President Biden withdrew Trump's executive order and directed the Commerce Department to conduct a review of the security issues posed by these apps.
A report by Forbes has found that TikTok accounts run by the Chinese government are attacking American politicians ahead of the midterm elections while promoting divisive social issues.
A press release from the Commerce Department said the app has the ability to "threaten the national security, foreign policy and economy of the United States."

Choke China! Iran is annoyed by Xi Jinping, the Iran media front page "Taiwan independence"
Image : Recently, some Iranian media used the headline "Taiwan Independence, Legal Rights" as the front page to criticize China, sparking heated discussions outside. (Associated Press, pictures reposted from Twitter; synthesized by Liberty Times newspaper)
Taiwan has been "independent" again! Chinese President Xi Jinping recently visited Saudi Arabia, and the joint statement issued by the Saudi leader involved the sovereignty dispute on Iran's islands between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Many Iranians were quite dissatisfied. Not only did they arouse criticism on Twitter, but also Iranian media. The words "Taiwan Independence" were published on the magazine's website to hit China, sparking heated discussions.
According to the news released by Chinese officials, Xi Jinping visited Saudi Arabia from 7 to 10 December, and participated in the "Gulf Cooperation Council Summit" and "China-Arab States Summit" held in Riyadh, the capital of the country. In the subsequent joint statement, it was declared that the sovereignty dispute between Saudi Arabia and Iran in the Persian Gulf of Abu Musa, Greater and Lesser Tunbs, three islands in the Persian Gulf, should be peacefully resolved in accordance with the rules of international law.
As soon as the news came out, Iran immediately expressed that it could not accept it. Public opinion in the country condemned China for "playing stupid" in order to win over Saudi Arabia. China's move is tantamount to denying Tehran's position of never accepting negotiations with Saudi Arabia over the ownership of these islands, and condemning China itself. China should be an ally of Iran, but "betrayed" Iran.
Later, some Iranian media published the headline "Taiwan independence, legal rights" to criticize China on the front page; Twitter also sparked discussions on this matter, and many Iranian netizens also used "Taiwan independence" to ridicule China. Some people bluntly said, "If China has doubts about the three islands that originally belonged to Iran, so we can also question your claim to own Taiwan!"
Relevant news was shared by Caiping Hu on Facebook, which aroused heated discussions among Taiwanese netizens, such as "Taiwan has become independent again for no reason", "Xi Jinping has made more and more Taiwan independent in the world", "China's sore spot is for everyone. I know", "President Xi is worthy of being an accelerator", "Look how many countries China wants to annoy with a smile".
Sun's front page of Arman daily': "Taiwan's Independence, a Legal Right"
The article begins by saying that China has always suppressed the right of the Taiwanese by "coercive force" &concludes that China will have no choice but to accept the Taiwanese independence. #Iran #China pic.twitter.com/jvIy2SI1dT

The underworld will not return to Jiang Zemin, God warns Xi Jinping
Report by : Xie Tian / Editor : Gao Yi / https://www.epochtimes.com/gb/22/12/10/n13882333.htm / Image : The picture shows Xi Jinping appearing at the press conference after the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. (Lintao Zhang/Getty Images)
In the poem "Song of Everlasting Regret" written by Bai Juyi, a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty, there is the words "Go up to the poor and the blue falls to the yellow spring, and the two places are gone." "The road of no return to the underworld" originally means a dead end, a road to the underworld that cannot return to the human world, and has no way back. The "biluo" in "biluohuangquan" means heaven; Huangquan means underground; together, biluohuangquan can refer to every corner of the universe, showing that heaven is punishing treacherous people and making them die. At the gate of life, there is also the virtue of good life, so that the living can wake up and learn from it, and will not repeat the same mistakes.
Jiang Zemin, the world's biggest criminal against humanity, died. People who knew the truth were overjoyed, clapped their hands, and set off firecrackers to exorcise evil spirits and celebrate. Jiang Zemin's crimes against the country and the people and against humanity are destined to be liquidated in the near future but when Jiang Zemin was sent to hell, Xi Jinping held a high-profile funeral. What is the difficulty behind this high-profile? Or are you obsessed with obsession, unable to see through the blue sky, the virtue of heaven, and unable to recognize the warning signal God is sending to China in the future?
Speaking of Xi Jinping's high-profile mourning for Jiang Zemin, I have to point out the stupid shortcomings of atheists. Jiang Zemin's body was placed in a transparent coffin, carried on and off the plane, and displayed in the open air outside the airport building, exposing Jiang Gui's face directly in broad daylight. This is actually a big taboo in funerals. The face of a dead person cannot be seen outside, exposed to light, or placed in direct sunlight. Regardless of whether in the East or the West, the face and head of the deceased should be covered with a black cloth as soon as possible, and the face should only be shown in the funeral parlor at the final farewell.
A netizen is said to be citing a mainland knowledge website Zhihu, saying that covering the faces of the dead with yellow paper or white cloth is out of respect for the dead and protection of the living. Its basis is to respect the dead to prevent the living from being frightened, to isolate the spread of germs, to prevent the deceased from being reluctant and nostalgic for the world, and to cover up the regrets of the deceased. This kind of content is transferred from Zhihu, I really don’t know it.
Obviously, mainland websites have huge limitations when it comes to life, soul, belief, and truth. These are based on the views of atheists, and most of them are random guesses. In fact, according to ancient Chinese sayings, the face of the deceased was covered, especially the Baihui acupoint on the top of the head. leave the body. However, the primordial spirit and soul cannot see the sunlight, they will dissipate and dissolve when they see it, and cannot be reincarnated. Jiang Gui's soul came out of his body and was exposed to the sun, his soul was destroyed, and he was in serious trouble.
After the author posted the above traditional statement on Twitter, there was a girl on Twitter, who should be from Canada, who actually replied that there was no basis for suggesting to say less or not to say. She said, looking at the ceremony of Rong Yiren's death, it was the same as Lao Jiang's, and the coffin was also like this, with nothing covering his face. Reply to her, you think there is no basis, but in fact there is, maybe you don't know it. But even if you don’t believe me, I hope you can remember that life is impermanent. Knowing this will be good for the deceased if someone in your family or circle of friends has an unfortunate past, and they will appreciate you in another world. But if you only believe in the practices of atheist people in the Communist Party, it would be a pity.
Having said that, Xi Jinping sent Jiang Zemin to hell. Why is he so high-profile? In fact, it is Xi Jinping who cannot be "low-key", or dare not be "low-key". Because, if Xi Jinping handles it in a low-key manner, it will show the filthiness between him and Jiang's faction, and the degree of intense and white-hot internal fighting in the CCP. Therefore, when Xi Jinping sent Jiang Zemin to hell, he had to make a high profile in front of others, so as not to show his traces, so as to create the illusion of peace within the CCP. But although Xi Jinping is "high-profile", his high-profile is absurd and bizarre, and he also has the ignorance of an atheist, exposing Jiang Gui's soul to the sun, making it difficult for him to reincarnate.
It is said that Jiang Zemin stepped on the road of no return, Xi Jinping was warned by heaven, and because of Jiang's death, the Chinese people in mainland China have openly and clearly protested during this period of time, and the Chinese people demanded the clear slogans of "the Communist Party step down" and "Xi Jinping step down", All of these indicate that the anti-communist and extermination of the Chinese society has entered a new stage. This is exactly the warning from heaven, and it depends on whether Xi Jinping himself has enough wisdom to understand it.
The British psychic Mr. Hamilton Parker, who had accurately predicted the news of the Queen's death, released the latest forecast on China's future situation on 1 December 2022, talking about the most concerned things at present. "I see the Chinese Communist Party falling ... and if I'm right, I think it's going to fall very quickly," Parker said. "We're in a phase where we're going from darkness to light."
Many readers and friends in China who follow the author, often go over the wall or learn about the author's views through other channels, have recently been worried about the new situation in Chinese society, and asked someone to inquire about China's current situation and future views. Reply to them that the high-level U.S. seems to have made up their minds to completely decouple from the CCP. Of course, the economic decoupling between the United States and China is not a complete severance of economic and trade exchanges between the United States and China as many people imagine. There are more than five million people of Chinese descent in the United States. The food and commodities consumed by this group, from Zhenjiang vinegar to fresh fried dace and Fuling mustard, cost billions of dollars every year, and these must be imported from China. The United States has embargoed Cuba for decades but Cuban cigars are still popular in the United States. The so-called economic decoupling between the United States and China means that the most important industries, high-tech products, economic and technological, and financial dependence have been reduced to zero or extremely low. Now a lot of Wall Street money is still in China but it is also withdrawing rapidly. When the evacuation is completed, the transfer of the industrial chain is completed, and the capital leaves completely, the Chinese economy may be over. Biden has a soft heart for the CCP, and every time he lets the CCP go, he hesitates in anti-communist policies. In the U.S. mid-term elections this year, the Republican Party has taken back the House of Representatives first; if Trump or Trumpism returns in 2024, and conservatives regain control of the Senate and House of Representatives, the U.S. will definitely break with the CCP, or even shoot away.
The author pointed out to these friends that the CCP regime is about to collapse. The collapse of the CCP is imminent and may happen at any time because the Three Quit Movement has awakened more than 400 million Chinese people. They are far away from the CCP and hate the CCP.
Many people have discovered that, as if overnight, the Chinese people woke up! The awakening of the people, from the appeals of the White Paper Movement, such as "Communist Party step down" and "Xi Jinping step down", these slogans surpassed the appeals of the "June 4th" Tiananmen Movement in 1989. It has spread from college students to citizens, working class, and retirees. Protests and demonstrations with blank papers have become the latest way of resistance for the Chinese people. A group of old men and women in Baoding, Hebei Province marched to protest against the lack of heating. They held a blank paper with only the word "cold" on it.
Xi Jinping should realize that the slogan "Communist Party step down!" has been chanted by tens of thousands of Chinese people, and there is no turning back. The Chinese people have already cornered the CCP. The next time the Chinese people protest, they will definitely take "the Communist Party step down!" as the most basic demand. Moreover, the collapse of the CCP is likely to be sudden; and this sudden collapse may happen at any time. The collapse of the Communist Party in China may not necessarily be the Russian model, it may be the Romanian model, or China's own "characteristic" model.
Jiang Zemin is dead, this is the last chance God left for Xi Jinping. If Xi Jinping can act in accordance with the sky, stop the persecution of Falun Gong, release all the detained practitioners, and blame Jiang Zemin, Xi Jinping will hopefully be freed. If he can take the opportunity to disband the Communist Party and switch to the Social Democratic Party, he may have more opportunities. After all, there are still many good people in the Communist Party of China. But if Mr. Xi Jinping persists in his obsession, all the crimes of the CCP from Mao Zedong to Jiang Zemin will be borne by Xi Jinping. He will die without a place to bury him, and even Xi Zhongxun may be exhumed.
According to the information sent out in China, Xi Jinping is ready to use the system of the Political and Legal Committee and the Central Commission for Disciplinary Inspection to carry out a thorough liquidation of the factions of Jiang Zemin and Zeng Qinghong before the two sessions in 2023. According to Xi's roster, Jiang Zeng gang has 15,000 officials, 3,000 white gloves, nearly 20,000 people and liquidation assets of 100 trillion RMB (China's annual GDP). Xu Jiayin of Evergrande seems to be just a sacrificial knife. Xi Jinping may understand the revelation from heaven, and may act quickly, but his window of opportunity is now very, very limited.
Jiang Zemin has gone to Huangquan Road and never returned. Did Xi Jinping get a warning from God? Or do you look forward and backward, hesitate, and wait for a good show like "the warrior enters the imperial palace through the back door" (the forty-sixth image in the picture on the back) to come on stage?

CCP cannot stop large-scale infections after abandoning dynamic clearing
The CCP hastily lifted the lockdown, and a rapid wave of infections swept through Beijing.
The BBC said that the CCP did not prepare the country to "coexist with the virus" before, and the only thing that is certain at present is that the CCP cannot prevent large-scale infections.
Jin Dongyan, a virologist at the University of Hong Kong, said that the sudden relaxation of prevention and control measures in the mainland is not very well prepared, and it is winter, or there may be a tsunami-like outbreak.
News (23)
CCP has no plan B
Gordon Chang, an expert on China issues, said that China may face a pandemic "nuclear winter". If the epidemic prevention fails, the CCP has no plan B to deal with it.
Chang analyzed that the Communist Party is now facing one of the most severe tests in history. From the beginning of the pandemic, the CCP has used the control of cases as a test of its legitimacy, boasting that its ability to deal with the virus proves that Communist China has advantages over democracy in general, and American democracy in particular. In order to prove this point, Xi Jinping adopted a zero-covid policy.

China will be paralyzed for months
He believes that in the case of a large-scale outbreak in China, even if foreign countries provide China with medical supplies and other assistance, Xi Jinping is unlikely to accept it. That means China will be paralyzed for months as the virus spreads among its population. As China continues to shut down and the economy continues to erode, the CCP regime will run out of resources.

CCP is struggling to rule China after reporting 22,000 outpatient visits to fever clinics in Beijing alone
Gordon Chang pointed out that the Communist Party has lost trust and support. It can still coerce, intimidate and imprison, but it will struggle to maintain rule over a critical period.
On 12 December 2022, Li Ang, deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Health Commission, said at a press conference that the number of fever clinic visits and the number of influenza-like cases have increased significantly. On the 11th, there were 22,000 outpatient visits to fever clinics in the city, 16 times that of a week ago.
Due to the large-scale infection of citizens, many units have been paralyzed. In a video posted on the Internet, a community member in Beijing’s Chaoyang District revealed to the residents that all 20 staff members in the entire community were infected, including cleaning staff and security guards, and hundreds of households in the community were also infected. “This is the case in the entire Beijing city.”

The virus retaliated everywhere and man-made disasters caused Xi to dig a hole and bury his lower body
Editor : Fang Xun / https://www.aboluowang.com/2022/1213/1841399.html / Image : Web Screenshot
When the CCP has not announced the end of dynamic clearing, I have combined the predictions of various experts and said in an article that after the zeroing is over, there may be a major outbreak of the epidemic. At that time, some commentators questioned me, saying that I was just saying that the epidemic will not break out, and there is no need to repeat what the reality is.
The CCP has been clearing the covid virus for three years. Not only is the virus still alive, but it is even waiting for an opportunity to counterattack in an all-round way, as if entering a no-man's land. The latest to be hit hard are central cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. Overseas self-media Mr. Wang Jian reported that many agencies directly under the central government have been half-laid down, and the whole city has fallen into panic.
The previous lockdown was to grab food and daily necessities, but now it is to grab medicines and masks when the lockdown is lifted. The hospital was lying flat when the lockdown was lifted, and the hospital was still lying flat after the lockdown was lifted. The suffering the Chinese have suffered in the past three years can only be described as man-made disasters everywhere.
Most of the current epidemic outbreaks are still in central cities, because of the concentrated population and fast information flow. On the surface, the disasters in big cities are serious, but with the arrival of the Spring Festival, a large number of urban populations will flow to third- and fourth-tier cities and rural areas, and it will be the turn of the country area to explode. The medical conditions in big cities are relatively better, but it is the turn of small towns and villages at the grassroots level. At that time, the virus is rampant, and the people can only wait for death.
Experts predicted that the epidemic would break out after the unblocking, but they did not expect the outbreak to come so quickly and on such a large scale. It has only been more than a week since the lockdown was lifted, and Beijing has almost become an empty city. Fever gates are overcrowded. The main reason is of course that the vaccine is ineffective, and there is no specific treatment drug. Only Lianhua Qingwen is used as a placebo, which is actually waiting for the virus to attack.
Although the toxicity of the virus is not so high, the population base is large enough to kill a large number of elderly and patients with underlying diseases. As long as 1% of China's population of 1.3 billion is lost, the absolute number will be recorded in the annals of history.
Before the lockdown was lifted, I also mentioned that Xi Jinping was in a dilemma. If he persisted in the lockdown, he would be dead, and if he unblocked it, he would be dead. Now Xi Jinping will probably regret the lifting of the lockdown again. If the lockdown was not lifted, it would set off a wave of civil resistance. After the lockdown was lifted, the outbreak of the epidemic would lead to a wave of civil resistance. Therefore, whether the lockdown is lifted or not is the same for Xi Jinping.
Will Xi Jinping be impulsive again, slam on the brakes before the Spring Festival, and declare a state of emergency across the country? With his character, this possibility cannot be ruled out. From the lockdown to the unblocking, and then from unblocking to re-entering the lockdown, Xi Jinping has created the largest demonstration of great power governance in human history. Now his level of governance has become a joke, and if he repeats it again, it will be more in line with the level of a primary school student.
The virus counterattack came so quickly and on such a large scale, it was completely unexpected. No one knows how long this wave of outbreaks will last and how much damage it will cause. Some experts predict that the peak will be in January and February next year, and it will fall in March. Some people predict that it will level off within half a year, but who knows the real result?
Now the hospitals are overwhelmed. If the big cities are completely occupied by the Spring Festival, and the remote cities and villages are flooded after another six months, no one will know how many people will die without rescue and how many people will lose their ability to work due to severe illness. No one knows how long it will take to heal China, and how much political and economic price it will cost.
The economy has half its life left, and if it drags on for another half a year, it will be "straight". Recently, Li Keqiang entertained international financiers to Huangshan for a meeting and fun, hoping that foreign capital will come to rescue them. These international financiers are still in the mood to invest after seeing the outbreak of the epidemic in China today? Unless they are all hypnotized by the CCP and lose their basic judgment. The economy will be rescued, and the whole society will fall into a new crisis. So where is the hope for China to get out of the epidemic and revive the economy?
The white paper revolution was suppressed by the CCP. If the virus ravages the virus for half a year, the corpses of small and medium-sized enterprises will be everywhere, and the unemployment rate will rise exponentially. At that time, the people are struggling to survive, and the political slogan of the white paper revolution will be used again to demand that the Communist Party step down. Xi Jinping If you step down, what will China be like at that time?
After three years of violent lockdowns, the Chinese people have long been full of resentment, busy with basic survival, seeing the gloomy future, and scoffing at Xi Jinping's level of governance as a major country. Since then, they have adopted an attitude of passive resistance to any policy of the CCP. The party's heart and the people's heart have deviated, and the CCP's baton has failed. At that time, the superiority of socialism has become a worldwide joke again.
The three-year war of attrition has almost wiped out the CCP’s fortunes. Now even the wealthiest Guangdong Province has to issue an IOU to Dabai to pay for expenses. The other provinces and cities can be imagined. If the outbreak of the epidemic continues for another six months, the economies of various places will be even more difficult to recover from. At that time, it will inevitably affect financial stability, medical insurance and pensions. Such consequences are even more unbearable for the CCP.
Now it seems that the chaos in the central cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou is just a piece of cake. The deeper and wider disaster will be a question of how the hundreds of millions of people will compete with the CCP after the country falls to a large extent in the next six months. When Xi Jinping lifted the seal this time, he dug another huge and unintentional hole for himself, and buried his lower body in the soil.
In a nutshell, whether the CCP can survive this crisis depends on whether the virus will be merciful. To be flat for three months is great luck, to be flat for half a year is moderate luck, and to be flat for more than half a year is unlucky.

The Chinese government has relaxed the epidemic prevention measures, but the number of confirmed cases continues to rise. A Chinese netizen today (14 December) shared a video on Twitter. The location is suspected to be in Beijing. All the cars in the video are waiting in line to deposit the ashes at the funeral parlour. Some netizens also asked for help online, saying that their father died due to the diagnosis, and the mortuary in the hospital was full and could not be placed. In the end, they could only put it in their own home, and they did not know what to do.
The National Health Commission of China announced on 14 December that it would no longer publish data on asymptomatic infections. A netizen broke the news on the social platform Twitter that "the epidemic in Beijing has begun to explode", and posted the Beijing Municipal Government's disposal of the remains of the confirmed dead. The measures include "no farewell ceremony or any funeral activities for the deceased." The implication is that the corpse can only be disposed of as soon as possible, and the family members cannot say goodbye properly.
The netizen also uploaded another netizen’s distress message, which stated that his biological father died due to the diagnosis, and the morgues of many local hospitals have no space to store it. No one answered the police station or the special line. “Father died for 3 hours. Just keep it at home."
In addition, the netizen who broke the news also posted a short video of more than one minute. Cars lined up the entire street, waiting to enter the funeral home to put the ashes. Netizens also uploaded screenshots of conversations between Beijing hospital staff, which showed that the number of "not yet cremated" remains in funeral parlors has skyrocketed. Coupled with the staff's shortage of confirmed manpower, it is now impossible to accept any more remains.

The media on the Internet exploded BQ.1 "Cerberus" Luo Yijun went out to refute the rumours: The fatality rate is not higher

Luo Yijun, deputy head of the medical response team of the Central Epidemic Command Center, was diagnosed with Wuhan pneumonia (covid, COVID-19), and his isolation period expired. Immediately after leaving the customs, he was questioned on the infectiousness and fatality rate of the Omicron variant BQ.1.1. Although the transmission rate is very high, called "Cerberus" to refute the rumors, emphasizing that BQ.1 is highly contagious, the disease severity and fatality rate are the same as other Omicrons, not higher.
"Express! The Beijing News reported on the 13th that 49 cases of BQ.1 and its sub-branches were detected in the local cases of the mutated covi strain in 9 provinces in China. This new type of mutated strain called BQ.1.1 has appeared all over China, and its infectivity and fatality rate are very high. For China, which has no good vaccine protection, many scholars call this mutated strain Cerberus.”
In this regard, Luo Yijun pointed out that BQ.1 is highly contagious, but the disease severity and fatality rate are the same as other Omicrons, not higher. The World Health Organization had already evaluated it at the end of October, so no new Greek letter was named for BQ.1, and the BQ.1 epidemic in Europe and the United States has not seen an increase in the fatality rate for more than two months.
As for the title of "Cerberus", Luo Yijun explained that it was just a nickname given by some German virologists on Twitter in October to remember/distinguish the names and characteristics of virus strains, but the German Society of Immunology also believes that the term Cerberus is inappropriate and will mislead the public to think that the symptoms are more serious, so now everyone uses BQ.1 and rarely mentions Cerberus.
According to the statistics of the command center, on domestic BQ.1 in Taiwan, 17 imported cases and 5 local cases have been detected since the beginning of October. BQ.1 accounted for less than 20% of overseas immigration cases and less than 5% of domestic immigration cases. The latest monitoring trends are regularly announced at the press conference every Monday.
The command center also issued a statement this afternoon, asking the public not to believe in false information and panic caused by reposting, emphasizing that the severity of BQ.1 disease has not increased but it may have an immune escape advantage and a higher chance of repeated infection.
The command center pointed out that according to statistics from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the current prevailing virus strains in China are still dominated by BA.5.2 and BF.7 variants. Although a total of 49 local cases of BQ.1 and its offspring variants have been detected in 9 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, it has not yet caused widespread transmission.
According to data from the Global Initiative for Sharing Influenza Data (GISAID), BQ.1 was discovered in Nigerian infected persons in mid-July 2022, and its proportion in North American and European countries such as the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and France has continued to increase since September. In the first ten days of the month, it was detected in the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Denmark, Italy, the U.S., Canada, Japan, New Zealand and other countries. According to WHO statistics, as of 11 December 2022, BQ.1 accounted for about 42.5% in Europe, of which Spain, Ireland, France, Iceland, Belgium and other countries accounted for more than 50%, and BQ.1 and BQ.1.1 has reached 67.9% in the U.S.

Letting go of zero-covid may lead to a large number of deaths, experts call for "Chinese New Year in situ"
Reporter : Luo Tingting / Editor : Wen Hui / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2022/12/14/a103597758.html
The latest issues of the journals Nature and Science warn that the easing of covid restrictions, if unprepared to deal with them, could trigger a massive wave of infections that would overwhelm healthcare facilities and lead to mass deaths.
A paper published in the journal "Nature Medicine" (NATURE MEDICINE) in July pointed out that China's hastily lifting the zero-covid policy may trigger a tsunami of epidemics within 6 months, with 112 million cases, 2.7 million people admitted to ICU, and 1.6 million people may die. The peak demand for ICU beds will reach 1 million, more than 15.6 times the current capacity in China.
Airfinity Medical Risk Company in London, UK, analyzed on 28 November 2022 that if China opens up now, it may cause 167 million to 279 million infections and 1.3 million to 2.1 million deaths, most of whom are unvaccinated elderly people.

Ye Tingyu, a registered physician at the British GMC (UK Medical Management Council), told Voice of America that hundreds of millions of infections refer to symptomatic infections. If the number of missed tests and asymptomatic cases are added, the number of infections may be even higher. China's domestic vaccines are difficult to resist the Omicron variant virus, and the protective effect against severe illness and death is greatly reduced.
Ye Tingyu said that based on the experience of other countries, it is estimated that China will reach the peak of the epidemic in the next one or two months. As the virus spreads more easily in winter, and the Chinese New Year is approaching, millions of people will return to their hometowns, and the number of infected people is expected to expand, posing a big challenge for China.
Ye Tingyu suggested that the CCP government advocate "Chinese New Year in situ" and reduce the flow of people, so that more elderly people can complete the vaccination and prepare ICU beds, respirators and medicines.
"If the epidemic wants to exit, it can only have a hard landing"
Asia-Pacific political and economic risk forecaster Fan Tao said, "I can assert here that if the epidemic wants to exit, it can only have a hard landing, and there is no chance of a soft landing!"
He told the Voice of America that after three years of zero-covid lockdown, the people in China have resentment whether they open up all at the same time or gradually lift the lockdown. In the next month to two years, the Chinese Communist Party will face a social situation full of public grievances.
A netizen said: "I thought that the CCP and covid are the two poisons that meet and the ruthless one wins. Now it seems that the CCP wants to be ruthless, but the common people can't stand it and quit. In this way, the vicious CCP will not be able to defeat the covid virus. A crushing defeat is inevitable. Now, will the CCP die from covid? Very likely.”
