世卫:中国疫情早飙高 非放弃“清零”所致

The covid epidemic in China has caused the World Health Organization (WHO) Director of Emergencies Mike Ryan to point out on Wednesday (14 December 2022) that the number of infections had soared before the CCP decided to abandon the zero-covid policy, denying the statement that "abandoning the dynamic clearing policy led to an explosive increase in cases".

Ryan denied at a press conference on 14 December that the "clearing" of loosening restrictions was the main cause of the surge in infections in China. He said the covid virus was spreading "intensively" across China long before China lifted restrictions.

As of 27 November 2022, China has reported an increase in the number of hospitalizations for four consecutive weeks.

Ryan said, "Given that the disease is spreading intensively, I believe that the control measures (dynamic clearing) will not stop the outbreak by itself. I believe China has realized that this strategy is no longer the best option."

After the outbreak of the white paper movement, Beijing took a sudden turn on the epidemic issue this month, loosening some of the "dynamic clearing" policy. Unexpectedly, the hospitals in many places in China are full, the medical system has collapsed, and there are more people with fever waiting for a doctor than waiting for a nucleic acid test. In Beijing, there are cases of elderly people queuing up outside at minus 6 degrees in the middle of the night, causing external concerns.

In this regard, Ryan said that China and some countries need to strengthen vaccination. He believes that Beijing needs to confirm whether there are "correct vaccines and doses in China, and determine when these people were last vaccinated."

WHO Covid-19 technical lead Maria Van Kerkhove said the United Nations is providing technical advice to China.

China Meheco Group Co Ltd said on 14 December 2022 that it will import and distribute Pfizer's oral therapy Paxlovid.

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said he was "hopeful" that the epidemic would no longer be considered a global emergency sometime in 2023.

北京清华密集发讣告 开会强调“守护老同志生命”

The CCP suddenly “let go” of the epidemic prevention under the circumstances of insufficient preparation. Experts pointed out that it may cause a large number of deaths, especially among the frail elderly. Tsinghua University recently issued obituaries intensively, and set up a special group to "protect the lives of old comrades".

A few days ago, the obituaries issued intensively by Tsinghua University in Beijing aroused public attention. A person familiar with the matter spread multiple screenshots of the "poster list" on Tsinghua's internal campus network, showing that after entering December, the frequency of the school's obituary announcements has increased significantly. From 1 to 10 December 2022, a total of 11 obituaries were published, with an average of more than one per day. Most of them are retirees.

There are also internal staff who counted the number of obituaries issued by Tsinghua from 1 September 2021 to the end of the year, and since 1 September 2022, and made a chart. The chart shows that in the three months from September to November 2022, Tsinghua issued only about 40 obituaries, an average of about 13 per month but December's curve suddenly rose and was significantly higher than the same period last year.


Some netizens said that according to the population base of Tsinghua University and the annual death rate of Chinese people, it is normal for the school to die more than a dozen people every month, and the death toll in December is obviously abnormal. Netizens suspected of being fifty cents argued that the authorities only began to "loosen" the epidemic prevention measures around 7 December 2022, so the deaths in early December cannot be attributed to "letting go". However, some netizens believe that the Beijing epidemic may have erupted as early as the end of November, but it was just covered up by the authorities.

What also attracted attention was a piece of news released by the official media on December 11. The content was that Tsinghua University held a special meeting on the prevention and control of the epidemic situation of retired faculty and staff on December 9, and officially established the "Epidemic Prevention and Control of Retired Faculty and Staff". Special Work Coordination Group", emphasizing that "protecting the life and health of old comrades should be the top priority of the current epidemic prevention and control".


The above-mentioned news triggered speculation among netizens that the CCP’s “laying down” caused a large number of deaths. There have been reports on the Internet that the funeral parlors in Beijing have begun to be overloaded. Another netizen said that when he was queuing for medical treatment at a fever clinic, he witnessed an elderly person in the line fall to the ground and die, and was directly bagged and taken away.

Because Beijing has decreed that residents who test asymptomatic do not need to report their covid cases, many deaths will naturally not be included in the official "death from the epidemic" statistics.

According to news on the Internet, the severe rate of infection in Beijing is higher than that in Guangzhou and other places, and many people continue to have high fever. Due to the outbreak of medical shortages, many seriously ill people have difficulty seeking medical treatment, coupled with the lack of antipyretics, they can only drink hot water at home to resist.

According to netizens, not only in Beijing, but also in other regions, there have been cases of infected people who failed to seek medical treatment in time and died, and some of them were in their prime.

For three years in a row, the CCP has been superstitious about "dynamic clearing" and has not paid attention to increasing medical resources. Public opinion is constantly promoting how "terrible" the virus is. Now the authorities have suddenly turned to "lay flat", causing panic among the people and medical runs. A number of overseas medical studies have pointed out that if the CCP continues to "relax", millions of people may die this winter.

Intelligence community misled public, blocked probe of covid links to CCP China's bioweapons, lawmakers say

Reporter : Ryan Lovelace / https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/dec/14/intel-community-misled-public-blocked-probe-covid-


The intelligence community misled the public and thwarted lawmakers’ investigation of SARS-CoV-2’s possible connections to China’s bioweapons program, the House intelligence committee’s Republicans said on Wednesday (14 December 2022).

 

An unclassified summary of lawmakers’ new report into covid’s origins said the lawmakers have seen evidence suggesting SARS-CoV-2 (CCP virus, novel coronavirus, covi), the virus that causes covid (synonym for Covid-19, COVID-19, covid-19, novel coronavirus pneumonia) is tied to China’s bioweapons program and the intelligence community withheld key information from public reports on the virus origin.

 

“Based on our investigation involving a variety of public and non-public information, we conclude that there are indications that SARS-CoV-2 may have been tied to China’s biological weapons research program and spilled over to the human population during a lab-related incident at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV),” the summary said.

 

The report from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence’s Republicans said that the intelligence community “has failed to adequately address this information.”


The lawmakers’ summary said they saw nothing indicating that China intentionally released the virus.

 

The summary of the report led by Rep. Brad Wenstrup, Ohio Republican, said the intelligence community stripped information from classified material and created a public product that likely skewed people’s understanding of what the federal government knew about covid’s origins.

 

The lawmakers claimed that the intelligence agencies refrained from revealing their true confidence level about connections to China’s bioweapons.

 

“The Committee has reason to believe that the IC downplayed the possibility that SARS-CoV-2 was connected to China’s bioweapons program based in part on input from outside experts,” the summary said.

 

“The IC has denied Congressional oversight of the analytic integrity of its Updated Assessment, particularly its heavy reliance on outside experts who may have had conflicts of interest,” the lawmakers wrote.

 

In October 2021, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence published a declassified assessment on covid’s origins that did not reach a consensus about how the covid pandemic began.

 

The office did not immediately respond Wednesday to a request for comment on the GOP lawmakers’ report.

 

Republicans are set to takeover the House, and the intelligence committee’s Republicans have made releasing hidden information about the covid pandemic’s origin an investigatory priority.

 

Rep. Mike Turner, the Ohio Republican expected to chair the committee when the new Congress begins next year, has signalled that getting answers on SARS-CoV-2’s origins from the Biden administration’s intelligence-community leaders will be an investigatory priority.

 

The lawmakers’ summary on Wednesday said the intelligence community has failed to comply with several requests for information.

 

“The committee will continue to press the IC to share the information it has and to explain why information was omitted from the declassified and classified reports,” the summary said. “Members will seek to declassify the full classified version of our investigative report on this matter.”

Fauci says the CCP government is "propably" hiding information about covid virus origins


Reporter : Cullen Mccue / https://nationalfile.com/fauci-says-the-chinese-government-is-probably-hiding-information-about-covid-origins/ 

Image : National File


Scientists and researchers have long asked questions about the exact origins of the covid virus, though no concrete conclusion has been reached to date. Fauci, CDC director Rochelle Walensky and a number of other covid epidemic response leaders around the world have stated that the virus emerged naturally in a bat or other animal host before jumping to humans.

Others theorize that the virus originated in the Wuhan Institute of Virology. While the theory has yet to be definitively proven, a sizable amount of evidence has emerged that suggests the possibility.

A letter from Lawrence Tabak, the National Institutes of Health’s principal deputy director, to Rep. James Comer (R-KY) confirms that the Fauci-led NIH funded research at the WIV during 2018-2019 that manipulated a bat coronavirus called WIV1. Researchers at the institute grafted spike proteins from other coronaviruses onto WIV1 to see if the modified virus was capable of binding in a mouse that possessed the ACE2 receptors found in humans — the same receptor to which SARS-CoV-2 binds. The modified virus reproduced more rapidly and made infected humanized mice sicker than the unmodified virus, the New York Post reported.


Beginning in 2014, the NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease funded the New York-based research non-profit EcoHealth Alliance with annual grants through 2020 for “Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence.”


Total funding was $3,748,715. More than $600,000 of that went to the Wuhan lab.

While speaking with Anderson, Fauci suggested that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) government is withholding information regarding the origins of the virus. “The fact is, as a society, when something occurs that looks like — even if it’s naturally coming out of China — they will be secretive about it,” Fauci said of the Chinese government. “Because of this feeling that they’re gonna get blamed for something.”

Dr. Fauci stressed that he was referring to the CCP government, not Chinese citizens, nor Chinese scientists, who he said “have made major contributions to our knowledge.”

Fauci previously praised a letter that praised the CCP government’s response to the outbreak and labelled the lab leak hypothesis as a “conspiracy theory.”

“The rapid, open, and transparent sharing of data on this outbreak is now being threatened by rumours and misinformation around its origins. We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin … Conspiracy theories do nothing but create fear,” reads a portion of the letter.

 

Fauci previously backtracked on his support of the letter, arguing that he did not rule out the lab leak theory despite clearly casting doubt on it.

孙春兰奔北京防疫变调 专家疑中南海或有事发生


A week after the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) relaxed its zero-covid policy "dynamic clearing", Sun Chunlan, the vice-premier of the Communist Party of China, who is known as the "clearing aunt", rushed to Beijing on the 13th to guide the epidemic prevention. Never mention "clearing". French sinologists question whether the CCP has made a sharp turn and completely dismantled the zero-covid policy known as "dynamic clearing", whether Xi Jinping still has all the power in his hands.

"City Closure Aunt" Sun Chunlan rushes to Beijing without mentioning "dynamic clearing"


According to a report from the official Xinhua News Agency of the Communist Party of China, Sun Chunlan, the vice premier of the Communist Party of China, went to Beijing yesterday (13th) to request the implementation and optimization of epidemic prevention measures, shifting the focus of work from "infection prevention and control" to "medical treatment", and did not mention "dynamic clearing" at all.


She said that there are 303 fever clinics in Beijing. "It is necessary to optimize the process, expand medical resources, and speed up the establishment of fever clinics in square cabin hospitals." Regardless of covid patients or ordinary patients, medical institutions must treat the patients, etc.


Previously, Sun Chunlan was regarded as the CCP's "City Closure Aunt" and the executor of Xi Jinping's strict epidemic restriction measures. Whenever she arrives in a city with an outbreak, it heralds the declaration of a "closed city", "The New York Times" said, "Her visit to a city has been regarded as an ominous omen."


Last Wednesday (7 December), without warning or preparation, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) suddenly launched the "New Ten Rules" to loosen the containment measures, and delegated the power of epidemic prevention to various places. Various regions have begun to lift the implementation of nucleic acid testing for all employees by administrative region, and lift restrictions on entering and exiting public places, taking public transportation, and cross-regional travel.


As of Wednesday (14 December), although the official data is decreasing day by day, the folks feel that the number of infected people has hit a record high. Especially in Beijing, folks revealed that people around them have been infected one by one, and even the elderly died of chronic diseases after being infected. The number also increased significantly.


A staff member of Tsinghua University recently confirmed to the Central News Agency reporter that since he took office, he has never seen the obituaries of so many retired staff members published on the school electronic bulletin board. Although it is impossible to confirm whether it is related to the covi infection, it is hard not to think of it together.


On 14 December, the National Health Commission of the Communist Party of China admitted that it was unable to accurately grasp the actual number of asymptomatic infections, and announced that it would no longer publish data on asymptomatic infections from now on.

WHO: The virus spread intensively in China as early as before and CCP is reminded not to block it easily


Regarding the epidemic in China, a director of the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Wednesday (14 December) that the number of covi infections in China had exploded long before Beijing decided to abandon its strict "dynamic clearing" policy. It also dismissed claims that a sudden policy reversal led to a surge in infections.


The comments from WHO emergencies chief Mike Ryan also came as he warned that the world's second-largest economy needs to ramp up vaccinations, Reuters reported.


Ryan told a briefing with the media that the virus was spreading "intensively" in China long before restrictions were lifted.


The World Health Organization also said Beijing was facing a very difficult time as it decided to "co-exist with the virus". The WHO has repeatedly reminded CCP not to block and prosecute people too easily and too quickly, because it is very difficult to withdraw.


"It's always very difficult for any country to come out of a very, very tightly controlled environment," WHO spokesman Harris told a news conference in Geneva, Switzerland.


One of the challenges, she said, is how to ensure a sufficient proportion of the population is vaccinated and prepare hospitals for an influx of patients with infections or other diseases. Many things had to be put in place to maintain a smooth transition.


Reuters stated that WHO usually does not comment on the private policies of individual countries, although Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus did say in May 2022 that China's (CCP) prevention and control policies are unsustainable.

The zero-covid policy has completely collapsed. Experts doubt that Xi still has the full power of epidemic prevention


RFA commented on 14 December that the high-profile zero-covid epidemic policy of the Xi Jinping regime has undoubtedly completely disintegrated but the government has hardly tried to justify itself. Giving up on dynamic clearing in such a short period of time, and quickly loosening the ties without any cover-up, one cannot help but raise some doubts: What happened to the high-level people who were originally scheduled to be led by Xi?


At the end of November, protests broke out in more than a dozen cities in China to close the city, shouting "Communist Party step down!" "Xi Jinping step down!" "We want freedom, we want the rule of law!" and anti-dynamic clearing policy.


French political scientist and sinologist Bai Xia published an article in "Le Monde" on 13 December, questioning, who can believe that, once upon a time, Xi Jinping personally decided to "clear" the symbol of the superiority of China's socialist system, so quickly be dumped under street pressure? Has Xi heard the voice of the people?


Baixia believes that under normal circumstances, the authorities will first suppress the demonstrations and sentence the leaders, and then they may slow down the policy to appease the public outrage. He said that the CCP authorities turned so quickly that people had to ask questions about what happened inside the CCP.


Bai Xia said that although Xi Jinping's 20th National Congress eliminated all possible opponents from the Politburo, are there still enemies left in the party? Perhaps some people accused his "dynamic clearing" policy of causing damage to the economy and detonating public resentment. Are some forcing a change of course to prevent his stubbornness from delegitimizing the CCP? In any case, a month after his coronation, protests have weakened Xi.


Bai Xia also said that the most surprising thing is that Xi Jinping mentioned at Jiang Zemin's memorial meeting that Jiang offered to no longer serve as the central leadership. People can question, how could such an obvious implicit criticism of Xi's re-election happen And announce it in all media across the country? Does he still have full power in his hands? Or like Mao Zedong after the Great Leap Forward in 1962, did he have to engage in self-criticism and retreat to the "second line"?


The sinologist believes that there may still be some accidents in the future.

Authorities abandon zero-covid policy, Public Opinion says it is about anti-dynamic clearing protests and CCP’s lack of funds


Recently, after an anti-blockade protest known as the "white paper movement" (blank paper revolution) that spread across the country, the top leaders of the CCP decided to abandon the implementation of the "clearing" anti-epidemic policy for more than three years, and turned to the anti-epidemic policy that coexisted with the virus. epidemic mode.


Xi Jinping hosted this month's Politburo meeting on 6 December, emphasizing the need to promote the overall improvement of economic operations, and did not mention "dynamic clearing".


Wu Zuolai said that this time the CCP abandoned the "dynamic clearing" policy, many people believed that it was the result of the "white paper movement" protests. This protest movement raised the voice of the people, and made the CCP see that "the Chinese people cannot be messed with, and it is difficult to handle it if they are messed up." But the deeper reason is that the CCP is economically unsustainable, and many big cities have gone bankrupt.


Sheng Xue, a Chinese-Canadian writer who has been following China’s current situation for a long time, told The Epoch Times on December 14 that the CCP’s current relaxation of epidemic control is that the “clearing” epidemic prevention that has lasted for several years has caused the CCP’s manpower, material resources, financial resources, etc. Both aspects are becoming more and more difficult to deal with; and the "blank paper movement" should have made them feel scared.


"This large-scale opposition movement, some people say that some local governments seem to acquiesce. Because the finances of many places are very difficult, (but) local officials have seen that the central government officials have not been affected in any way by this epidemic, Instead, many families are making a fortune from nucleic acid testing and vaccines," she said.

Sudden shift in anti-epidemic policy leads to chaos, caused by the CCP system


After the CCP authorities canceled most of the strict epidemic prevention and control measures, the CCP CCTV reported that on December 11, the number of people visiting hospitals in Beijing reached 22,000, an increase of 16 times compared to a week ago.


In Beijing, long lines of patients formed outside hospitals, and pharmacies across the city were sold out of cold remedies, fever reducers and cough remedies. The same is true across the country.


Wu Zuolai said that although the authorities were forced to abandon the "dynamic clearing" policy, another wave of chaos was caused due to institutional reasons.


"The CCP's medical system is different from the western medical system. In the western medical system, doctors can solve some problems by answering the phone, and (patients) can get medicine nearby. There is no need to go to the hospital at all. Many people's problems are solved. Patients of severe cases are arranged to go to the hospital. But under the medical system of the CCP, everyone rushes to the hospital as soon as possible, and only through the hospital can they get medicine for fever.”


In addition, there are future troubles brought about by the "dynamic clearing" policy that the CCP has always insisted on before. Wu Zuo said, "Because the CCP used to control you to buy this kind of cold medicine and fever medicine, as long as you buy the medicine, it will give you yellow codes and red codes, you can’t go out, so a large number of people have no medicines. Now a large number of people go to the hospital to queue up, which is another disaster. Many people who are normally sick, such as those who are undergoing chemotherapy, cannot go to chemotherapy , medical resources were taken up by fever clinics."


According to a report by "Badian Jianwen", a Chinese think tank media focusing on the medical and health industry, in the past two weeks, the Omicron virus has torn apart the defense lines of many hospitals in Beijing, and the number of infected doctors and nurses has soared from dozens to hundreds. The number of medical staff infections in large hospitals in first-tier cities soared from single digits to nearly a thousand.


The report quoted a staff member of a tertiary general hospital in Beijing as saying that in just one day, more than 700 doctors and nurses in his hospital tested covi-positive, and almost all the staff in some specialties were diagnosed the same.

According to multiple news spread on the Internet, the funeral industry in Beijing has begun to be overloaded. The Tsinghua University campus network recently released obituaries for retired seniors.


According to news from the medical group, three children from Beijing Shijingshan, Tangshan and Yanjiao died of high fever in Beijing Children's Hospital recently. They were 13 years old, 8 years old and 2.5 years old respectively, healthy, no underlying disease.


Sheng Xue said she was worried that the sudden outbreak of the epidemic would harm the Chinese people because the CCP’s handling of the epidemic has no humane spirit and good government mechanisms, it is incomparable with democratic countries.


Sheng Xue said, "First of all, China does not have universal medical care like most democratic countries, including many countries in the third world have universal medical insurance, at least giving the people the most basic relief conditions. Second, the vast majority, during the epidemic period, most countries have issued relief funds. The United States has distributed a lot of money. Like Canada, during the peak period of the epidemic for almost two years, each person received 2,000 yuan of epidemic assistance per month but China did not have it. After the people in the area are infected, it is really very difficult.


"Third, most countries have social assistance mechanisms. In addition to hospitals, there are also social assistance institutions, including human rights groups, churches, etc., that are playing their roles.


"In the end, all countries have freedom of speech and freedom of the news network. If something happens, people can call for help by sending messages, or question the work of the government. This is impossible in China. So when China ushered in the peak of the epidemic, the situation will be much more serious than internationally.”


The CCP has always claimed that it has institutional confidence, and this was one of the contents of the propaganda before the "zero-covid" epidemic prevention. Sheng Xue said that the current chaos in China is due to the CCP system itself, its system itself, and the CCP does not take the lives of ordinary people at all.


Wu Zuolai said that because of the autocratic dictatorship, in fact, whatever the Communist Party does is wrong. The highest level of the Communist Party of China violates science, common sense, and common sense to make decisions, and no one can change it. When there was a sudden change, no one could cope with it, and great confusion ensued.

Extreme epidemic prevention hastily loosened, CCP China's economic uncertainty surged


The CCP's "clearing" epidemic prevention policy in the past three years has severely hit consumption, investment, and market operation order. The Chinese economy is facing the dual dilemma of insufficient domestic demand and weakening external demand. Many experts predict that China's economy may grow no faster than 3 percent this year, well below Beijing's original growth target of 5.5 percent.


Voice of America quoted Brad Setser, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, on the 13th as saying that China's economic growth still faces long-term challenges.


After the CCP authorities relaxed the anti-epidemic policy, some residents chose to reduce travel consumption in order to reduce the risk of infection. Although some places have issued consumer vouchers, the economy has been weak for a long time in recent years, the unemployment rate has risen, and residents' willingness to consume has remained low.


According to a report by the Chinese catering media Red Meal Network, as of the end of November this year, nearly 500,000 catering-related companies in China have been suspended operations.


The loosening of the epidemic control has not effectively improved the business environment of foreign companies in China. The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China complained in a statement that the central government in Beijing did not give local governments enough time to prepare, resulting in a lack of consistency in implementation. The inconsistency has created a great deal of uncertainty among the wider public and led to a significant drop in business confidence."


The real estate market, which is an important pillar of China's economy, has been in a state of recession. The "unfinished business" and "loan failure" that appeared earlier this year have become the focus of attention from the outside world.


Wu Zuolai said that although Xi Jinping has firmly held power at the 20th National Congress, the epidemic prevention policy he personally deployed and directed is now tantamount to a huge setback. Several years of "dynamic clearing" has left a large number of people unemployed, and the middle class has become impoverished. The CCP may then have to drastically reduce the number of people in the system, which will cause divisions and conflicts in the system. In the next three to five years, political and economic secondary disasters created by the authorities themselves will emerge one after another, which may lead to the downfall of the CCP regime.

China's human rights have seriously regressed. Pelosi: I said 20 years ago that CCP China should not join the WTO

  

Image:  Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi said that although it was the last time she spoke at the CECC hearing as the leader of the Democratic Party, it would not be the last time she spoke out for human rights in China. (Extracted from YouTube channel "Nancy Pelosi")

美國眾議院議長裴洛西說,雖然是她最後一次以民主黨團領袖身分在CECC聽證會上發言,但不會是她最後一次為中國人權發聲。(擷取自YouTube頻道「Nancy Pelosi」)


The U.S. Congressional-Executive Commission on China (CECC) held a hearing on 14 December to examine the human rights situation in China over the past 20 years and invited Pelosi, who is about to step down as Speaker of the House of Representatives to speak. Pelosi bluntly said that since China was included in the World Trade Organization (WTO) for more than 20 years, human rights have seriously regressed, and it has not complied with WTO norms. The world should no longer sit idly by.


According to comprehensive foreign media reports, the United States established CECC in 2000 to monitor the human rights situation in China and submit annual reports to the President and Congress every year. The day before the CECC hearing (13th), China complained to the WTO because it was dissatisfied with the United States' chip ban, accusing the United States of restricting behavior that threatened the stability of the global industrial supply chain.


Pelosi, who was invited to attend the CECC hearing on Wednesday and delivered a speech, said bluntly that she called for China not to join the WTO as early as the year CECC was established. As the strongest economy in the world, the United States already has a moral obligation to link trade with human rights. At that time, those in the United States who were in favor of allowing China to join the WTO thought that if China was accepted internationally, it might bring about a series of reforms and progress but obviously this idea is too naive. Over the past 20 years since China joined the WTO (10 November , 2001), the human rights situation in the Communist country has seriously deteriorated, and even ignored WTO norms many times.


Pelosi called on the world to no longer put "business before ideas." If economic factors do not speak out for CCP China's human rights, then there is no need to pretend to be a saint to criticize other countries' human rights performance. She said domineeringly that although this is the last time she speaks at the CECC hearing as the leader of the Democratic Party, it will not be the last time she speaks out for human rights in China.


Join me @CECCGov as we mark 20 years of tireless work leading the charge to defend human rights in China and remaining vigorous against putting business interests ahead of human rights. https://t.co/lx7usPYUoY

Shenyang becomes "Quanyang" city? With the spread of the epidemic, Shengjing Hospital was overwhelmed by crowds


Editor : Shifang / https://www.aboluowang.com/2022/1214/1841860.html


The CCP announced that it would no longer publish the number of asymptomatic cases, and at the same time relax the epidemic prevention and control measures, but there is no relevant support, resulting in the collapse of medical capacity, and the local pharmacies are sold out of drugs. Ding Yang, the person in charge of the Department of Infectious Diseases and Fever Clinic of Shengjing Hospital, hastily stated today (14th) that 90% of people infected with the new crown do not need to go to the hospital for medical treatment, and urged everyone not to panic.


Netizens commented below: "I'm from Shenyang, I'm covi-positive, and I'm lying at home.", "5 of my classmates have already got covi, and they are still taking online classes.", "Fever clinics everywhere are bound to be cross-infected. The hardest-hit area." However, some netizens expressed different opinions: "Shengjing has always had a lot of people, and there were also many people during the flu season in previous years.", "I am from Shenyang, but there are so many people in large hospitals with covid.. I don't think that's strange"


Facing the shortage of medical treatment, the CCP officials hastened to speak out to ease the crowds who wanted to go to the hospital.


According to the "Liaoning Daily" report on 14 December, Ding Yang, chief physician and head of the Department of Infectious Diseases and Fever Clinic of Shengjing Hospital Affiliated to China Medical University, said that judging from the current patients admitted to the hospital's fever clinic, most of them present have fever , sore throat, and a small part of them manifest as cough. No matter what symptoms they present, in fact, more than 90% of them do not need to go to the hospital for medical treatment. They can be isolated and treated at home.


Ding Yang said that when medicines are available, isolation treatment at home is better than going to the hospital. The home environment can not only reduce panic, but also rest at home, eat better, and have a more stable mentality, which is more conducive to the treatment and recovery of the disease.


Ding Yang said that there is no need to hoard or snatch medicines, and do not take medicine blindly, and do not take multiple medicines in combination, otherwise it may cause adverse reactions.


He urged not to hold the mentality of "sooner or later will be covi-positive, covi-positive will be good", but to maintain a peaceful mind, pay attention to rest, strengthen exercise, and enhance immunity. After being infected with the covid virus, the possibility of reinfection in the short term is also very small.

Xi Jinping’s lame politics: CCP China’s coming crisis 


Xi Jinping's biggest "stupid policy" of this century-dynamic clearing has finally come to test the bitter fruit. On December 7, the State Council of China announced the "Ten New Articles of Epidemic Prevention Policy", which includes the prohibition of temporary blockade, narrowing the scope of nucleic acid testing, no longer requiring negative nucleic acid certificates and health codes for cross-regional personnel, and encouraging asymptomatic and mildly infected persons Home isolation and so on. It seems that Xi Jinping's "stupid epidemic prevention" has begun to come to an end. Although the strict blockade and control of the past three years is just a few days ago, it seems like a lifetime ago. However, this epidemic prevention nightmare of "waking up from a big dream" also announced the advent of the "post-Xi Jinping era" in advance: a false rule that discredits the prestige and is lame and crooked.

Optimizing epidemic prevention: 180-degree brain variation



Just as the "Dynamic Clearing" was grandly launched under Xi Jinping's brains in those days, today's brake and steering also popped out suddenly and turned the page. The once unswerving "dynamic clearing" that swept the country, who dares to resist who is the "counter-revolutionary" chilling threat, is now kept at a respectful distance without mentioning a word; Lacking the support and deployment of "coexisting with viruses" in the scientific sense, it seems that everything is resigned to fate! The new coronavirus (Omicron strain), which was once regarded as a "severe situation", now seems to be "self-mutating" and has become a minor problem with "significantly reduced pathogenicity".


In fact, the Omicron strain has not changed, what has changed is the 180-degree "brain mutation" of the CCP authorities: it is serious if it is serious, and it is not serious if it is not serious! In other words, officials can say both sides about the toxicity of a strain of virus, and they can say whatever they like!

It's not life that comes first, but party life that comes first


At the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China less than 2 months ago, Xi Jinping declared that "epidemic prevention is a people's war", boasted that "the people are supreme, life is supreme", and vowed to "persist in dynamic clearing and unwavering"; however, the people's war does not The enemy students protested, a "blank paper revolution" broke out on the ground, and a few slogans "step down" pierced the eardrums. Fearing that the "June 4th Movement" would repeat itself and the crisis of the party was out of control, Xi Jinping faced the "blank paper" Immediately "persevere and shake": not life is paramount, but party life is paramount! Xi Jinping did not express any apologies or regrets for the harm caused by the dynamic clearing, but he was complacent by saying that "the epidemic prevention work has come to an end".


In fact, "evading in case of trouble" and "shifting the crisis" are Xi Jinping's consistent style. By visiting Saudi Arabia, Xi Jinping deliberately avoided the incompetence and embarrassment of relaxing the epidemic prevention, and stayed away from the peak and waves of controversy with "silence", fully exposing Xi Jinping's nature of "not enough fortitude, more than cowardly", a contemptuous and speculative national leader .

The official media urgently launched the "amnestic project"


During this shift, the deceitfulness of the CCP’s propaganda machine, fake official media, and imperial experts has been fully exposed. Whether it is ancient history or short-term experience, Chinese official media are best at "amnestic projects": downplaying pain and fabricating facts , Erase tyranny. Once upon a time, these party-state mouthpieces criticized the "coexistence of viruses" policy of Western countries and exaggerated the horrific death toll in Western countries, but completely avoided talking about China's unblocking today. Isn't it just following in the footsteps of Western countries? It also completely avoids that in the case of low vaccine efficacy and insufficient vaccination rate of the elderly population, a sudden unblocking is entirely likely to cause deaths on a much larger scale than Western countries.


Feng Zijian, former deputy director of the China Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, pointed out that after the Chinese government loosened the epidemic prevention and control measures, 80% to 90% of Chinese people will inevitably encounter a virus infection. Even with a conservative estimate, based on 60% of the 1.4 billion people infected, about 840 million people in China are infected, which is much higher than the current number of infected people in the world of about 648 million.

From clearing to not clearing: Political deception of black and white transformation


In the past three years, Xi Jinping has regarded "dynamic zeroing" as a manifestation of the superiority of the socialist system, and has adopted high-pressure measures to carry out inhumane epidemic prevention, boasting that only the leadership of the Communist Party can save lives and protect health. Not long ago, the CCP authorities exaggerated the dangers of the Omicron virus, and the experts kept emphasizing that this mutant virus is more secretive, spreads faster, and it is more difficult to quickly identify early infected people, etc. In order to prove the rationality of Xi Jinping's "clearing the moral government". However, in less than two weeks, the same group of queen experts changed their tune and declared that this virus is "very close to seasonal flu, preventable, controllable, and curable." In fact, the two statements before and after are all manifestations of "foolish people/stupid government", a kind of political deceit that alternates between black and white. This is the essence of the CCP regime: to create a totalitarian rule with deceit, and to play with the common people with lies.


In fact, the people don’t believe that the “New Ten Measures for Epidemic Prevention” is the CCP’s policy announcement to abandon zero eradication. On the contrary, more people are taking advantage of the gap to purchase various contingency supplies, waiting for another closure of the city.

Xi Jinping, a naked king stripped of his new clothes



Although Xi Jinping has realized his ambition of "three consecutive terms", he has already entered the "post-Xi Jinping era" before taking office, that is, the ignorance and incompetence behind the posturing, and the shattering of the myth of "ten miles without changing shoulders". On the other hand, although Xi Jinping has established a "self-appointed" Xi family army, which seems to have no noise inside and no political enemies outside, it is actually helpless everywhere and unable to make a single hand. Today's Xi Jinping is like a lame duck, more like a naked king stripped of his new clothes. The people don't say it, but they despise it in their hearts!


When the people see the truth clearly, when the people break through the fear; a blank sheet of paper: nothing is written but everything is said, which completely shakes Xi Jinping's low-level authority at the level of "workers, peasants and soldiers", and exposes Xi Jinping's lack of science and economics Although Xi Jinping is still in power, under the slogan of "Xi Jinping step down", Xi Jinping has been ousted and removed from office in the hearts of the people.

The Post-Xi Jinping era: An ironic era of pseudo-rule


The "post-Xi Jinping era" is a new era of crises and multiple outbreaks, and an era of internal corruption where the outside is strong but the inside is corrupt. From then on, China will enter a "three noes society": disobedience, disbelief, and disregard. With the disintegration and degradation of Xi Jinping's authority, Chinese society will become nihilistic and decadent. People no longer place hope, but angry helplessness, a kind of anti-deception against deception!


The "post-Xi Jinping era" is also an era of "value cracking/cynicism", a disintegration of the "socialist value system", and a decadent period of "ironic politics". People are no longer loyal to their long-standing beliefs, and they no longer fulfill the obligation and loyalty of taking actions based on beliefs. People no longer believe in the propaganda and education of the CCP, the dogmas and theories of the party, and the "leaders of the party". ", and no longer believe in the "Great Leader".


Xi Jinping is like the "Truman" in the movie "The Truman Show", and the officials around him are like supporting actors for the fake show; Xi Jinping has been staging the "Chinese version of "The Truman Show"" all his life, The difference is that Xi Jinping cannot escape the virtual world surrounded by lies, and he is completely ecstatic and unable to extricate himself.
