The Chinese Communist officials keep telling the world the virus strain in CCP China is Omicron but news about the covid epidemic from CCP China keep mentioning excess deaths from covid pneumonia and covid virus (covi, SARS-CoV-2, novel coronavirus) attacking the lungs and worsening vision. Hence, the virus strain is not only Omicron. These officials are lying to the public that the only viruses are members of Omicron. The following news touch on the updated news, feature two lengthy interviews with virus researcher Yan Limeng on her views on the covid pandemic in CCP China, false bomb alarm on Starlux Airlines flight, Go First baggage incident etc.

China's recent outbreak of epidemic recenty exploded and caused covid patents to suffer from severe illness and cause covid and excess deaths to spike. Recently, an retinal lesions occurred after a young woman in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, and her eyes were almost blind.
According to The Paper news on 9 January 2023, a 20 -year -old female patient in Zhejiang was infected with a covid virus. After 3 days of high fever, she had symptoms of sharp decline in vision. After testing, her vision has dropped to 0.02, her eyes are almost blind.
After the female patient was sent to Wenzhou Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital by her family, the doctor of the Eye Specialty found that the woman's eyes were visible to dark reddish brown lesions, pigment disorders, and the outer retinal high reflection lesions were concentrated in the macular area. Ondo retinal nucleus layer, ellipse belt and chimeric zone break. Combined with the patient's medical history and specialist examination, the doctor concluded that the woman had encountered neuropathy in acute macular area.
Deputy Director of the Department of Ophthalmology of the hospital told the media reporter, who interviewed the hospital that the disease of the female patient belongs to the covid infection complications. He further explained taht the covid virus may have the trend of the eye, and can spread from the upper respiratory tract to the eyes through the precision network composed of different nerves. After the virus invades the eyes, it will induce inflammatory cytokine and the level of tendred factors, resulting in eye discomfort and retina or optic neuritis.
The doctor said that even if the patient's condition was controlled later, his vision was difficult to return to its original state.

Covid virus can spread from the lungs to the brain and eyes, causing eye discomfort and retinal retinal inflammation
Nature Communications of the well-known international scientific journal "Nature" "had published papers earlier earlier, saying that the covid virus can spread from the lungs to the brain and eyes through the neurons of the trigeminal nerve and the optic nerve of the human. Eye discomfort and retinal inflammation can induce deep perception or loss of vision under severe cases.
At present, there have been many patients in China that have experienced eye discomfort after infection with the covid virus.

Suddenly withdrawing the zero-covid epidemic prevention policy in Beijing last month, which led to unprecedented infection to sweep the country, at least 14 provinces and cities in China announced that it would stop providing free treatment to the infected people. As the pressure of medical debt increases, the risks to the family financial stability rises.
The Financial Times reported that Shanghai and Guangzhou Hospitals currently reside daily-increasing number of severe covid patients. The price of 20,000 RMB (NT$90,000) per day is equivalent to 5 months of income for ordinary urban residents. Although insurance companies have previously sold tens of millions of low -cost epidemic prevention insurance policies, in order to avoid huge compensation, only claims related to strictly verified infected infection are allowed.

In CCP China, difficult for claims applicants to prove infection
China's policy also makes it difficult for claims applicants to prove infection. Health officials narrowed the definition of covid cases and deaths. Last week, the World Health Organization (WHO) accused CCP China for the severity of the epidemic. A director of Beijing Taikang Insurance said that the company's approval of claims was "very strict". "You must get a certificate of infection in the hospital, and the hospital rarely issues relevant documents."

Unfairness of the CCP medical system to low-income patients
The report said that this caused low-income patients to withstand great pressure and also exposed the unfairness of the Chinese medical system. Huang Yanzhong, a researcher at the US Foreign Relations Commission, said, "China has never made its medical system allowing everyone to obtain or afford it. The outbreak of the recent epidemic has worsened the problem."

Charges for covid-related diagnosis started in the first week of 2023 by Anhui
Anhui, with a population of 64 million, began to require people to pay 30% of covid-related diagnosis and treatment costs last week. Sanhe, near Beijing, further required infected patients to pay 50%of medical expenses.

Hospitals as daily debt collectors, people cannot afford the charges
This brings a heavy financial burden to many patients. The 53-year-old farmer Gao Shengli (transliteration) of Henan Province was detected last week that Wuhan Luoyan positive stroke was received. Two days after admission, 150,000 RMB (NT$674,000) bills were received, which exceeded twice the annual income of his family. Additional bills ranging from 5,000 to 10,000 RMB (NT$23,000 to 45,000 Taiwan dollars) made his family feel sad and miserable. His son said, "The hospital collects debts from us every day, and we can't afford it."

Diagnosis of covid pneumonia restricted in Shanghai, CCP cannot let everone receive free treatment, patients are victims
The encounter of the urban middle class is not good. A doctor at the Tenth People's Hospital of Shanghai said that the Shanghai Health Commission has received instructions to restrict the diagnosis of pneumonia in Wuhan. A consultant of the National Health Commission pointed out that "the outbreak is too fast, and the authorities have no time to formulate an action plan. It is certain that the government cannot let everyone treat it for free."
In Hangzhou, the marketing manager Frank Wang bought the epidemic prevention insurance policy at the beginning of last year, but was refused to open a infection certificate after confirming the clinic and kidney infection. The diagnosis has been politicized. "He said," This makes a patient like me a victim."

CCP experts admit that there may be a new strain of the virus. The outside world: The real hell has not yet come
Reporter : Yu Ting / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2023/01/11/a103622317.html
Shanghai resident: "Look at the tertiary hospitals. The current situation is full. It's really an exaggeration. They all sleep directly in the public area of the hospital. It's conceivable."
The CCP claims that the peak of the epidemic has passed, but many hospitals and crematoria in first-tier cities are still working overtime. Experts also find it difficult to agree with the CCP’s statement.
Xie Qizhang, a distinguished professor at the Institute of Clinical Medicine, National Cheng Kung University, said, "It is impossible for the virus to develop like this." It is generally estimated that the peak of the epidemic in China will be reached in April, and then it will slow down. "The real hell has not yet come." .
In addition, with the beginning of the wave of returning home during the Chinese New Year, whether the countryside will become the next hardest hit area has become the focus.
Ms. Weng, a villager in Tonglu County, Zhejiang Province: "I always have back pain and knee pain. I have never caught a cold. This time I have a cold."
Ms. Chen, a returnee from Zhejiang: "There are quite a lot of (infections) now, and everyone is old. Anyway, when I came back, I saw a lot of relatives next door to me. What are they doing? They all seem to have a cold. I thought it was a cold, but it meant that I felt uncomfortable, that I had no energy."
Dr. Lin Xiaoxu, former director of the Laboratory of Virology at the U.S. Army Research Institute, pointed out that the bigger problem is that several waves of epidemic peaks occurred at the same time, and the symptoms of patients became more severe after the second infection.
Dr. Lin Xiaoxu, a former U.S. Army virus expert: "The current situation in China is likely to be the peak of several waves of viruses, which came together in a short period of time. This is terrible. People have just been infected with a virus, and their bodies have not yet recovered. Recovery, you are re-infected with another virus, it is really worse, this consequence is very serious, so the severe disease rate and death rate will definitely soar, this is the very deadly consequence of the Chinese government's absurd policy .”
The CCP has covered up the epidemic for a long time, forcing many countries around the world to introduce entry protection measures one after another. The CCP retaliated against this. On 10 January 2023, it suddenly announced that it would suspend the issuance of short-term visas to Japanese and South Korean citizens.
However, CCP expert Wu Zunyou admitted on the mouthpiece media "CCTV" that there is indeed the possibility of new mutant strains appearing in China, which needs to be closely watched.
Wu Zunyou, an expert at the China CDC: "There is indeed the possibility of a new mutated strain, and we are also paying close attention."

The number of people infected with the epidemic in China exceeds imagination; Zhang Wenhong reveals the inside story

Recently, the governments of many places in China have announced that about 80% of the population has been infected with covi but the actual number of infected people may be more. Zhang Wenhong, director of the China National Center for Infectious Diseases, said a few days ago that many asymptomatic infections were detected when they traveled abroad.
On 10 January 2023, Zhang Wenhong, Director of the Department of Infectious Diseases, Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University, went to Shanghai Jinyang Community Health Service Center to guide the covid medical treatment.
The video released by The Paper shows that when Zhang Wenhong and several accompanying medical staff were inspecting the community medical center, a medical staff said that everyone around him was covi-positive but he had never been covi-positive. Zhang Wenhong asked her to check for antibodies to see if she had passed the test but she had no symptoms.
"Many people think that there are no asymptomatic infections. That's nonsense." Zhang Wenhong said, "Let me tell you, don't many Chinese go to Japan now, do they travel to Europe? Check it out and look at one-third of the cases." People who are covi-positive, these people are asymptomatic."
He told the medical staff: "You may be an asymptomatic infected person, how could it be possible, all these people (referring to other medical staff) are infected, but you are not infected."
A netizen said: "Asymptomatic infections must exist, and the public knows and admits it. What many people want to know is the proportion of asymptomatic infections, the proportion of severe pneumonia, and the proportion of deaths. How many excess deaths are there? This is what everyone cares about.”
In December 2022, the CCP unpreparedly released the epidemic prevention and control measures, which caused the number of infections and deaths to soar across the country, and the hospitals and funeral parlours were full. Recently, Beijing, Shanghai, Sichuan, Jiangsu, Henan Province and many other places have declared that more than 80% of the population has been infected. The Henan government announced on 9 January 2023 that as of 6 January, the infection rate in Henan Province was 89.0%.
Some experts said that China's 20-day infection rate exceeds the three-year infection rate of all countries in the world. They are worried that the infection of hundreds of millions of people may lead to new mutations of the CCP virus, resulting in mutant strains with higher lethality. However, the CCP’s official media has tried its best to downplay the seriousness of the outbreak in China.
As the CCP opened up the country and a large number of people left the country, the international community is worried that the scene of the Wuhan epidemic spreading around the world three years ago may repeat itself. The United States, Japan, South Korea and other countries have announced the implementation of epidemic prevention restrictions on Chinese tourists.
On 3 January 2023, the WHO invited Chinese experts to participate in a closed-door video meeting, hoping that China would provide "more realistic" detailed data on hospitalization, death and vaccination of infected patients.
However after the meeting, a World Health Organization official said at a press conference, "The actual death toll in China is very different from the official figures." The WHO once again supports some countries in adopting screening measures for travellers from China.
So far, at least 23 countries have announced to strengthen the quarantine of passengers from China. This move has aroused the CCP’s dissatisfaction. South Korea and Japan were the first to be retaliated by the CCP. The CCP officially announced the suspension of the issuance of visas for citizens of the two countries to go to China.
In addition, since January 8, the CCP announced the implementation of "Class B and B Control" for the covid virus infection, which means that the zero-covid epidemic prevention policy is officially halted.
On the same day, Zhang Wenhong said in his speech at the 2023 Fudan University School of Management New Year Forum, "Implementing the 'Class B and B Control' for the novel coronavirus infection means that more people will be infected."
He said that there may continue to be several waves of the covid epidemic in the future, and the exact time is not clear.

Interview with Yan Limeng (1): The epidemic should not have been so serious
The current medical community’s general understanding of the Omicron strain is that its pathogenicity is significantly reduced, and it mainly damages the upper respiratory tract of the human body, while cases in relation to direct damage to the lungs are rare but in the current wave of the epidemic in China, the number of severe cases and deaths has surged. Why are the situations in China and foreign countries so different? We interviewed Ms. Yan Limeng, a former postdoctoral researcher at the University of Hong Kong.
The epidemic in China is in a state of blowout, and the number of severe cases and deaths caused by the epidemic far exceeds the current understanding of the Omicron strain in the medical community.
Yan Limeng, a former postdoctoral researcher at the University of Hong Kong: "The reasons for this situation are very complicated. There are some reasons, which we can clearly analyze now. Some are due to the CCP government's concealment of information about the epidemic, and if the data are suppressed, then we need more time and more opportunities to find more evidence for the time being but what we can say at present is that the first epidemic should never have been so serious.”

Yan Limeng: Suppression of medication, difficulty in medcine purchase and insufficent medicine worsen the covid wave
Ms. Yan Limeng, a former post-doctoral researcher at the University of Hong Kong, said that there are currently known human factors, such as the suppression of medication by the CCP authorities, difficulty in buying medicine for the public, and insufficient medicine in hospitals. These are important factors that aggravate the whole wave of the epidemic.
News (13)
Yan Limeng: Unreasonable to state the virus strain in China is Omicron and not treat it as highly virulent virus strain
In addition, the National Health Commission of the Communist Party of China does not provide comprehensive and transparent information, but insists that the current epidemic in China is the same virus strain as that in foreign countries, which is very unreasonable.
Yan Limeng: "Actually, we said that the variants of this virus sometimes look very similar, and their functions can be much worse. For example, Omicron is actually just a type, that is, it changes and changes. When it changes to this type, it probably has the same and some relatively clear characteristics. Because Omicron has been spreading all over the world in the past year, relatively speaking, it only causes damage to the upper respiratory tract, that is to say, it basically does not enter the lungs, so everyone and I will feel that Omicron should not be powerful but it is not. It is also a big category of Omicron. If it has some variants, it will change to some special positions and cause some other functional damage. Even though this variant is Omicron, you still have to treat it as a highly virulent virus strain."
At present, according to the sequence analysis of the virus strains carried by Chinese travelers overseas, Ms. Yan has seen changes.

Yan Limeng: An immune escape site in the Omicron of Chinese tourists in Italy
Yan Limeng: "For example, in Italy (Chinese tourists), we will see that it (the virus strain) has an immune escape site. That is to say, although this Omicron variant looks the same Omicron is very similar, it has slight changes, which are mainly produced at this site that can lead to immune escape, and once this immune function is escaped, then it will naturally cause greater damage."
Secondly, Ms. Yan Limeng pointed out that the so-called Chinese people have been "protected too well in the past three years" and their immunity is too poor. Resistance cannot be so fragile. In addition, the so-called Chinese people's vaccines are not enough to hold water.
News (15)
Yan Limeng: The inactivated vaccine is the coronavirus, helps variants to enter the human body to worsen the infection
Yan Limeng: "The elderly are over 65 years old. I remember that the data from the National Health ommission is more than 80% and they have already received two doses. So the coverage rate is not low. Of course, the CCP government is on the issue of vaccines. In terms of the effectiveness of the vaccine, the data must be falsified. We also know that the technology of this vaccine is backward. After the SARS virus in 2003, it has been proven to fail and cannot be used as a vaccine against SARS virus, so it is theoretically It is a substandard covid vaccine but if so many doses have been vaccinated, then we have to consider whether there are other factors besides the insufficient protection of the antibodies it produces, besides immune escape? For example, like the Antibody-Dependent Enhancement , we commonly call it the ADE phenomenon, and this phenomenon means that this inactivated vaccine is in the coronavirus, and it will have this side effect, that is to say, it can produce some antibodies in theory, not only cannot protect you, but it will be in your body causing harm in the body, and when it sees some new variants, it will even help these variants enter your body to aggravate the infection."
News (16)
Yan Limeng: ADE will not lead to mass death
Ms. Yan Limeng said that because the CCP government has not made public data, it is difficult to say how widespread the ADE phenomenon is but the ADE phenomenon is not a poisoning effect after all, and even if it exists widely, it will not lead to mass death or white lung and other severe diseases at the same time continued to increase.

Yan Limeng: The Chinese epidemic is man-made
Yan Limeng: "So we say that there are many factors, man-made, and others caused by various policies in the past three years. In the final analysis, this epidemic is actually a man-made disaster, because the entire virus has never been originally come out of the CCP’s military lab, so none of this would have happened without this virus.”

Interview with Yan Limeng (2): The puzzling second Infection
With the current outbreak of the epidemic in China, there have been cases of people being repeatedly infected with the covid virus in many cities. The Internet is full of discussions about "secondary infection", which has even caused panic such as "infection after vaccination" and "secondary infection is prone to severe illness". Today, I will continue to invite Yan Limeng, a former postdoctoral researcher at the University of Hong Kong to interpret these topics.
News (19)
Yan Limeng: It is hypothetically possible to link the inactivated vaccine with "secondary infection"
Yan Limeng, a former postdoctoral researcher at the University of Hong Kong, said that her team has also received feedback on "vaccine" and "secondary infection" from information sources in the Mainland but because the CCP does not provide comprehensive and transparent data, academically speaking, it is still necessary to call it a hypothetical possibility. However, based on her own medical qualifications and years of background in vaccine and virus research, she will put forward the most likely hypothesis.
News (20)
Yan Limeng: CCP did not push for human experiments during the SARS period until but did so after covid broke out
Yan Limeng said, "The more serious one is the first one I said. We Chinese mainly use inactivated vaccines. Then this inactivated vaccine will stimulate your body's immune system. Yes. because during SARS, Chen Wei, the biochemical weapons expert, General Chen Wei, she led a team to make this inactivated vaccine. In fact, although they claimed that this was reliable and successful, they only entered the clinical stage. Period, and then there is no further implementation. The reason given at the beginning was that SARS I no longer exists, so it will not continue but in fact this is untenable, because the same inactivated vaccine, For SARS, it has not even been pushed to human experiments overseas, because it cannot produce ideal data in animal experiments, and cannot have the effect of safety. Now, because of the covid vaccine period, China hopes to use this as the first way, which is that it (the CCP) also wants to temporarily control the epidemic in the country, and secondly, it also needs to make a fortune through this. So it forced this to the people of the whole country to be vaccinated. That is to say, for the entire population, this vaccine should have been substandard from the start."
News (21)
Yan Limeng: Inactivated vaccines are more likely to cause greater damage to the human body's immunity
Yan Limeng said that the results of experiments in Hong Kong showed that China's domestic inactivated vaccines are much weaker in persistence and protection than Pfizer and other vaccines. Vaccines based on inactivation technology are theoretically more likely to produce ADE effects.
Yan Limeng: "So, when a new mutation is encountered during this process, the vaccine will inevitably cause the whole situation to deteriorate, produce more serious symptoms, and cause greater damage to the human body. At the same time, this repeated injection of substandard vaccines will also cause certain damage to the immune environment in your body."
News (22)
Yan Limeng: Not possible for two different strains to infect the body in a short period of time
As for the "secondary infection", Yan Limeng said that she did not think that two different strains infected the human body successively in a short period of time.
Yan Limeng: "From my current point of view, the most likely thing is that you have been infected with the same virus. First of all, we don't know its sequence. According to our analysis of the imported virus from Italy, it is more It may be that the entire mutant strain of Omicron has produced some mutations of immune escape, and then escaped your own body's ability to resist this new coronavirus. Then, what about its infection to you, because it bypassed your immunity, so when it hits you for the first time, you will have this physical reaction. Then why did you seem to have recovered for a while in the middle? This situation is actually in the usual novel coronavirus infection. Among them, even coronavirus infection is basically unexplainable, because we have not observed this situation before but if you look at it from the perspective of a disease related to the immune system, you will find that in a certain It happens in disease."
For example, Yan Limeng said that after the onset of symptoms, AIDS patients will gradually enter an incubation period after a period of treatment, the amount of the virus in the human body will decrease, and at the same time, it will be concealed so that the immune system cannot detect it, and the symptoms of the patient will disappear. Recurrence in the future is accompanied by complications. However, the process of AIDS often lasts for several months to several years, unlike the covid virus, which recurs within a week or two.
News (23)
Yan Limeng suspects another functional enhancement by the CCP's military laboratory
Yan Limeng: "So we really don't know why this virus is now? Has it undergone some new enhancements? Because we know the entire virus, the covid virus is a product of weaponized enhancements. Has the CCP government military laboratory carried out more functional enhancements? How did the expert enhance it? Then is this virus specially able to produce this kind of function after being enhanced, simulating the state of HIV AIDS, but it shortens destruction of your entire body, causing a temporary bottleneck period in the middle, and then followed by a stronger immune response and damage to the lungs? We don't know for sure yet, I can only say that if it is a scientific hypothesis, I would say that I am personally inclined to this possibility. As for why the virus behaves like this now? Again, the CCP government does not give us any data and information, so we cannot thoroughly answer it in a scientific way for the time being. .”

Paralyzed hospital in Shanghai, people prepare oxygen cylinders for self-help
Editor : Lin Cenxin / Reporter : Luo Ya / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2023/01/10/a103621911.html / Image : Video Screenshot
The Shanghai epidemic broke out, and the emergency room of the hospital was crowded with critically ill patients. Patients with other diseases could not be admitted to the hospital. In addition, as the number of deaths climbed, the funeral industry and cemeteries also increased their prices one after another, causing the public to sigh, "I can't afford to die!"
For several days in a row, the emergency rooms of major hospitals in Shanghai were overcrowded. Li Yingchuan, deputy director of Shanghai Tenth Hospital, said in a recent interview with the media that after the emergency peak, severe cases may reach a real peak within a week or even 10 days.
The emergency rooms and halls of many hospitals are full of beds, and the public have to bring their own small beds.
Family members of patients in Shanghai Renji Hospital: "Look at the hospital at 2:30 in the morning. There are no beds. They are all in this hall, and each person has a small bed."
A family member of a patient in Shanghai: "May I ask if there are any beds here?"
A doctor from a hospital in Shanghai: "There are no beds, and we are all nervous. Now we have to queue up. We all line up from the emergency room first, and there are no beds."
A family member of a patient in Shanghai: "At the entrance of the hospital, there is a queue of about 600 m. Go straight and turn right for about 300 to 400 m before entering the hospital."
Ms. Liu, a citizen, said that the infection rate in Shanghai is nearly 85% to 90%. Her family members are all infected, but they are afraid to go to the hospital because the hospital is overcrowded, including the grandmother in her 80s. The family has helped her prepare medicines and oxygen at home. If you don't have a bottle, you are afraid that you will not be able to get a number in the hospital, which is even more dangerous.
Ms. Liu, a Shanghai resident: "I dare not go to the emergency clinic. The emergency clinic is really scary. The emergency clinic in Changhai Hospital has four floors. The first and second floors are full, and there are no beds. You are asked to bring a recliner there." Lying down. If you go to the hospital to call for a number, you won’t be able to call at more than 400, (you have to wait) for more than 400, what about oxygen? You may not be able to inhale oxygen.”
A Shanghai netizen said that she seems to be suffering from an anxiety disorder. In addition to hoarding food and drink online every day, she also tries to buy oxygen bottles and oximeters. , because there is an elderly person in the family, there is really no way to rest assured.
Ms. Liu also told the reporter that she bought oxygen cylinders online last October but they are no longer available.
Ms. Liu: "I bought six bottles. When I bought it, the epidemic had already started, and the price increased from more than ten RMB to more than sixty RMB. I originally wanted to buy an oxygen generator, which is a medical oxygen generator. So far, if you look online, you won’t be able to grab anything, there’s nothing left.”
Ms. Wei from Shanghai also said that people infected with the epidemic are now showing various symptoms. Some even developed hypothermia, and some began to develop diarrhoea.
Ms. Shanghai Minwei: "Yesterday I was chatting with my friend. It was terrible. (She) had a low temperature. Her body temperature was only around 33°C. Hypothermia, she had been vaccinated twice."
Mr. Ma, a Shanghai citizen: "Of the five people with me, four of them became impotent, and some of them had diarrhoea. One friend had diarrhoea for three or four days in a row."
Dr. Zhang Wenhong, Director of the Department of Infectious Diseases of Shanghai Huashan Hospital, said that there may continue to be several waves of virus epidemics in the future, and we must be prepared. "If patients have to go to a large hospital to wait in line for six or seven hours for CT scans, and then take medicine when they see pneumonia, they may miss the last time. Good golden hour."
In addition to emergency rooms running at full capacity, hospital beds are hard to come by, and body bags, coffins and cemeteries are in short supply.
Ms. Shanghai Minwei: "Yes, (body bags) are in short supply everywhere, and so are coffins."
Mr. Wang (pseudonym), a citizen of Shanghai: "I feel very sad today, and now I am telling you these words in the sound of mourning, because my best neighbor has passed away. I haven't seen each other for two or three days. I left this morning. There are still many friends. People left the family, some even two.”
Mr. Ma, a Shanghai resident: "There are two funerals in our community. They can't afford to die. We have one-stop services for memorial services. It costs about 20,000 to 30,000 RMB. There is also a cemetery. That (cost) is expensive. The cemetery in Shanghai, if you don’t have 200,000 RMB, you can't afford the current cemetery.”
The Beijing authorities went from insisting on dynamic clearing to suddenly letting go. The overall medical system was not prepared, and they chose to let go in winter when the virus was active.
Ms. Liu, a Shanghai resident: "What I can't understand the most is that last year when the city was closed, what city did you close? You can just open it up, because it will be opened separately in March and April at that time. At that time, the weather is good and you relax in winter. It is the time when respiratory tract infection is high, and the elderly are prone to infection. But it (the authorities) just don’t open it, and they have to wait until the 20th National Congress is over before opening it. Is the 20th National Congress so important? It’s so important that ordinary people’s lives are not their lives.”
Ms. Liu said that in the past three years, the authorities have not achieved scientific epidemic prevention at all, and they have paid a very heavy price for it.

The number of diarrhoea patients in Hangzhou increased sharply, and the suspected XBB variant strain broke out in many places

The Chinese Communist Party officially confirmed the detection of the XBB.1.5 variant virus. The number of diarrhea patients in Hangzhou has increased significantly, and the typical symptoms of XBB.1.5 infection - diarrhea and incontinence - have appeared in many places. People started snapping up antidiarrheals and diapers.
The Chinese Communist Party’s official media recently confirmed that the XBB.1.5 strain of the Omicron mutant virus has been found in Shanghai. Experts worry that China may see a regional spike in infections. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention of the Communist Party of China hastily "refuted the rumors", saying that the possibility of XBB.1.5 pandemic within three months is "extremely low". However, the CCP's "rumouur refutation" is often regarded as evidence of related "rumors", which intensifies the panic of the people.
In fact, starting from Shanghai, there have been widespread diarrhoea in many places in China, including unconscious diarrhoea, which is considered a typical symptom of XBB.1.5 infection. The antidiarrhoeal drug "montmorillonite powder" has been snapped up and sold out on some e-commerce platforms. After the official "refutation of the rumors", diapers have become the target of panic buying again.
Previously, many experts pointed out that because there is no cross-immunity between some different mutant strains, there may be multiple rounds of outbreaks in China. Now that XBB.1.5 is coming, netizens worry that another wave of epidemics has already begun.
Hangzhou state media on Thursday (5 January 2023) quoted the outpatient director of Zhejiang Hospital as reporting that in the past week, in addition to the respiratory clinic, the number of patients received by the cardiology and digestive tract clinics has doubled. Among them, the digestive tract outpatient clinic mainly receives patients with diarrhea, and recently received more than 200 person-times every day.
The official then gave various "rumour-refusing" statements, including "the number of patients with diarrhoea has not increased", "the diarrhoea is caused by infection and low immunity", and so on.
In addition, netizens in Beijing and other places where the epidemic first broke out in winter have revealed that there are many patients with vomiting and diarrhoea.
A Beijing netizen posted on Weibo: "The second round in Beijing has already started? Fever, severe vomiting, and diarrhea. I vomited all night, and I vomited to death." Some netizens asked if they were infected with the XBB virus , she replied: "I don't know, anyway, the symptoms are right, I was vomiting and diarrhea and stayed in the toilet all night."
Some netizens claimed that they had diarrhoea and incontinence during sleep, and they did not know if they were infected with XBB. Because the antigen could not be detected, they had to wear diapers.
Previously, there had been reports of a "second wave of epidemics" in Beijing, Shijiazhuang and other places, and a large number of people had secondary infections. Among them, some fuyang patients suffered from diarrhoea, and some fuyang patients suffered from severe pneumonia. Moreover, the second infection was generally more dangerous than the first one, and many young people could not bear it anymore.
Since the CCP "laid flat" to fight the epidemic, it has been trying its best to conceal the epidemic. How many mutated strains are circulating in China at the same time is a mystery to medical experts in other countries around the world.

The CCP’s “epidemic prevention” spreads another farce. The authorities stipulated that civil aviation epidemic prevention restrictions be lifted at 00:00 on 8 January 2023. It was reported on the Internet that Chinese flights "changed their faces" at 00:00 on the 8th, and the flight attendants and crew took off their protective clothing "punctually" at an altitude of 10,000 m.
On 8 January 2023, a passenger who had just returned from a Chinese flight posted on Weibo in mainland China that he had accidentally become the first batch of international flights to land in China after the quarantine was lifted, and he witnessed a farce on the plane.
The blog post said that when boarding the plane, the stewardess was still wearing protective clothing with her name written on the back, and the radio broadcasted reminders such as "the epidemic is serious and complicated", but in the middle of the flight, the stewardess changed back to ordinary uniforms.
The blogger later found out that the flight crew had to go to "00:00 on the 8th" to take off their protective clothing on time at high altitude because they had not arrived at the "0:00 on the 8th" stipulated by the CCP when they boarded the plane.
The blog post said that after the blogger got off the plane, he did not disinfect and isolate, and no one checked the nucleic acid report. His life “transitioned from normal to normal”, and heonly witnessed “the last light of the era of lockdown” on the plane. It was like a movie scene in a trance.
This incident attracted many netizens to ridicule: "Even in the sky, it must be so formalistic", "It can be released and retracted freely, and it will come back, just like the Cultural Revolution", "It seems that the virus really only listens to the CCP January 8, 0.01 seconds, Covi Zisha (suicide)", "The best interpretation of insanity".
Before the crew staged the farce of "taking off protective clothing at zero hour", Chinese crew members wore protective clothing all the way abroad, and they have always been regarded as a group of "heterogeneous" at overseas airports. Chinese and foreign netizens often upload relevant photos to social media to ridicule them.
When the epidemic broke out in China, the CCP ordered the lifting of border epidemic prevention measures on 8 January. It was questioned that it was repeating the old tricks and "poisoning" the world. At present, many countries have taken measures to implement quarantine on incoming Chinese passengers.

Zhao Lijian was thrown to "sit on the bench" Akio Yaba: Many CCP officials are dissatisfied with him
Image : Zhao Lijian, spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a representative of the Wolf Warriors, is rumored to have resigned from his post as Deputy Director and Spokesperson of the Information Department and transferred to Deputy Director of the Department of Boundary and Ocean Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. (AFP)
Zhao Lijian, a representative of China's Wolf Warriors, resigned from his post as deputy director and spokesperson of the Information Department, and was transferred to the deputy director of the Department of Boundary and Ocean Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In this regard, senior Japanese media person Akio Yata also expressed his views on Zhao Lijian's "sit on the bench". He said that many CCP officials are dissatisfied with Zhao's grandstanding speech.
Yaba Akio posted on Facebook that Zhao Lijian, who had brought infinite "joy" to foreign media reporters, was transferred to the little-known "Department of Border and Maritime Affairs". Although he was also the deputy director in the future there will be no spotlights, no front-page headlines from the Global Times, and no applause from the little pinkies.
Yaban Akio pointed out that Zhao Lijian started to serve as the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in February 2020 and left in less than three years. He counted Zhao Lijian's past speeches, "Can you believe what the FBI says?", "Every time Pompeo speaks, the Chinese people support the Chinese Communist Party more", "Everyone here can live in China during the fight against the epidemic. Let's have fun!" These words are vulgar and straightforward, and they do not seem to come from a professional diplomat at all. Although they are often quoted by foreign media, they have a very serious negative impact on China's international image.
Yaba Akio said that there are many CCP officials who are dissatisfied with Zhao Lijian’s grandstanding remarks, and the new Foreign Minister Qin Gang should be one of them. “When I was a special commissioner in Beijing, I attended the press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs every week. Dealing with each other. Every year before the Spring Festival, the Information Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and foreign media reporters will have a dinner together. Among the several Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokespersons, Qin Gang is the least official when chatting in private. The attitude has also changed, and it seems that he intends to cooperate with the wolf warrior diplomacy led by Xi Jinping. But in his view, a spokesperson like Zhao Lijian who only speaks harshly and offends people everywhere should be unqualified.”
Yaba Akio said that in June 2022, Le Yucheng, the "Wolf Warrior" who was considered to be the foreign minister and who supported Russia, was transferred to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. Now "Little Wolf Warrior" Zhao Lijian has also left. "This will be the CCP's plan. Is it a signal to abandon "Wolf Warrior Diplomacy"? I think it is necessary to continue to observe."
