China CDC has recently reported that mycoplasma pneumonia is spreading rapidly, and there are even reports on the Internet, including suspected outbreaks of large-scale infections in Beijing and Tianjin, a surge in patients in major pediatric hospitals, and emergency room queuing. The number is over 2,000, and if you want to see a doctor, you have to wait for more than 24 hours.
Mycoplasma pneumonia is prevalent in China this autumn. It is reported that it is spreading rapidly among children. More and more sick children are undergoing "lung washing" surgery. Last week, it was even reported that a hospital performed 67 "lung washing" surgeries in a single day. According to reports, there are about four to five hundred patients waiting in the pediatric outpatient clinic of Beijing Tiantan Hospital every day.
In addition, at the beginning of this month, the Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention also released news that the daily number of respiratory infection cases admitted to Beijing Children's Hospital has reached 3,500 to 3,600. People said that there were long queues everywhere in the hospital, and drips were being administered on every floor. The patients are so crowded that doctors at the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine said that pediatric patients have been close to saturation, with an average weekly outpatient volume of nearly 20,000.
"Mr. Li is not your teacher", a user of the social platform "X" (formerly Twitter) who has long been paying attention to various current affairs in China, also posted a post last night sharing multiple screenshots and pointed out, "Currently, major social media news shows that Beijing and Tianjin suspect a large-scale mycoplasma pneumonia infection has broken out. Pictures show that the number of patients in major pediatric hospitals in Beijing has increased sharply, and the number of emergency calls has reached more than 2,000, requiring queuing for more than 24 hours. There are also big Vs (generally said to have more than 500,000 followers) and a public figure, who is an Internet influencer, said that he had been infected. At the same time, a large number of students from Tianjin universities also asked for leave."
Netizens commented under the post, "Wait 24 hours? This way the medical resources are completely insufficient", "It started last month", "Conservative, the information half an hour ago, Tianjin Children's Hospital now has more than 3,500 "I have been detained for three years to pay off my debt, plus there is a lack of imported antibiotics, etc.", "I am from Tianjin, and my colleagues with children no longer let their children go to school." Some netizens even pointed out that "it is not just Beijing, but the outbreak is happening all over the country." "This time, children bear the brunt of the disease, and the disease is then transmitted from children to their parents. In primary schools, half a class and half a class are on sick leave. There are only two children's hospitals in Beijing, and they are basically unavailable."
Some netizens even claimed, "The city is not locked down? Are you not personally deploying and commanding this time?", "It's just a variant of covid19, just changed its name to stabilize public opinion", "The new super variant of covid is coming back?", "Another invention. What new virus has been tested?"
At present, major social media news shows that there is a suspected outbreak of mycoplasma pneumonia infection in Beijing and Tianjin. Pictures show that the number of patients in major pediatric hospitals in Beijing has increased sharply, and the number of emergency calls has reached more than 2,000, requiring queuing for more than 24 hours.

Mycoplasma pneumonia has become an epidemic in China. National Taiwan University Children's Hospital has also recently observed an increase in the proportion of hospitalizations infected with mycoplasma pneumonia. Mycoplasma pneumonia is an atypical bacterium and is the most representative of those with non-stop cough symptoms. In this regard, Xu Jiaxian, director of Xu Jiaxian Pediatric Clinic, said that mycoplasma pneumoniaa can be transmitted through droplets, and the incubation period is very long, up to 1 to 4 weeks. Symptoms include persistent cough, good spirits, rarely runny nose, etc., reminding the public to pay attention .
Xu Jiaxian posted an article on the Facebook page "Dr. Xu Jiaxian, the dad with dark circles" and pointed out that mycoplasma pneumonia can be transmitted through droplets. The incubation period is very long, up to 1 to 4 weeks, and the infectious period is about 7 to 10 days; symptoms include a persistent cough that lasts for weeks to months. A fever may be developed and sometimes an asthma attack. In addition, he also shared 3QA for public reference:
1. Will adults also get it? Yes.
2. I have had it before, will I get it again? Yes.
3. Will it get better on its own without treatment? It may get better on its own, but the cough may last for 3-6 months.

Washing hands frequently and wearing masks are important
As for how to prevent it? The CDC added that if you have respiratory symptoms (especially coughing), you must wear a mask; when coughing or sneezing, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue and discard it immediately. If you do not have a tissue, you can use your upper arm or elbow instead. Do not directly use your hands; wash your hands frequently with soap and rub for at least 20 seconds. If water is not available, use dry hand sanitizer instead. There is currently no vaccine to prevent mycoplasma pneumonia.
Finally, the CDC also reminds that dry cough, fever, fatigue, etc. are common symptoms of mycoplasma pneumonia. Although the symptoms are mild, they last for a long time, which may last for weeks or even months.

Mycoplasma pneumoniae is an atypical bacterium. Non-stop cough is the most representative symptom of mycoplasma pneumonia. Although the symptoms are mild, they last for a long time and have strong droplet transmission. It is also known as "walking pneumonia," Huang Limin, a pediatric infectious disease physician at National Taiwan University Children's Hospital, recently warned that "mycoplasma pneumonia" is becoming an epidemic in China. Because the bacteria is highly resistant to antibiotics, severe cases have occurred in young children. The disease cannot be ignored. The CDC reminds that dry cough, fever, fatigue, etc. are common symptoms of mycoplasma pneumonia. Although the symptoms are mild, they last for a long time and may last for weeks or even months. Taiwan’s research report last year showed that first-line antibiotic resistance has reached 70%.
Huang Limin pointed out that between 2018 and 2019, there were 4 severe cases of children in northern China who had leaf membrane inserted due to mycoplasma pneumonia. At that time, it was estimated that the disease would cause a major outbreak in the country, but later due to the covid pandemic, it is estimated that the mycoplasma pneumonia epidemic has been delayed. Huang also mentioned that mycoplasma pneumonia poses a high threat to children in the next 5 to 10 years due to the emergence of resistance to the antibiotic "erythromycin" used in first-line treatment.
Lin Yongqing, an epidemic prevention physician of the CDC, responded to questions from the media at a regular press conference today. Mycoplasma pneumoniae symptoms are mild and most people will recover on their own but there is a real risk of causing pneumonia, encephalitis and other serious diseases. For example, the infection may be aggravated in children and the elderly. Asthma symptoms require antibiotic treatment.
Lin Yongqing said that the resistance of mycoplasma pneumoniae to first-line antibiotics has gradually increased since 2000, reaching as high as 90% in Asia. Taiwan’s research report last year showed that the resistance reached approximately 70%; in addition to antibiotics for first-line treatment, other antibiotics are also available, but when using it on children, attention should be paid to safety, side effects, etc., and must be evaluated by a clinician.
The CDC issued a circular to the medical community in October 2019, pointing out that studies from various countries have shown that mycoplasma pneumoniae is increasingly resistant to macrocyclic antibiotics, and the difficulty of treatment has increased accordingly. For patients suspected of being infected with mycoplasma pneumonia, If antibiotics are required for patients with bacterial infections, please consider their age and severity of clinical symptoms, and refer to domestic clinical guidelines for treatment.

A 4-year-old boy has red rash all over his body and his family is affected by mycoplasma pneumonia
Reporter : Huang Xulei / https://health.ltn.com.tw/article/breakingnews/4399047 / Image : The red rash on Li Tong's face was once misdiagnosed as urticaria. (Provided by Wurilin New Hospital)
A 4-and-a-half-year-old boy in Taichung had a cough for nearly 2 weeks. His parents thought he had a cold. Unexpectedly, his face continued to be covered with lumpy red rashes the next day. He was misdiagnosed as urticaria, persistent abdominal cramps, and multiple spots. Papular erythema spread all over the body. A blood test at Wuri Lin Shin Hospital confirmed the diagnosis of allergic purpura. My family members were also infected with mycoplasma pneumonia.
A boy surnamed Li in Wuri District had a rash this month that did not improve after taking medicine. He had allergic purpura covering his limbs, trunk and buttocks for days. He had vomiting and diarrhea when eating, and he often suffered from abdominal cramps and was unable to sleep. His mother sought medical advice but could not find a solution, so she rushed to URI for blood test and treatment at the Allergy and Asthma Department of Rilin New Hospital.
Lai Yongqing, a pediatrician at Wurilin New Hospital, said that the patient's skin had tactile purple spots, which was suspected to be vasculitis and dermatitis. The blood test data showed that white blood cells and platelets increased, reflecting inflammation and infection in the body. Further blood tests showed that he had been infected with mold, plasma fungus infection, combined with allergic purpura.

Lai Yongqing pointed out that Li Tong's twin brothers and parents were tested positive for mycoplasma infection through blood tests. This shows that mycoplasma pneumoonia is highly contagious, and the whole family received mycoplasma antibiotic treatment.
After being hospitalized, Li Tong received mycoplasma and steroid treatment, which alleviated and improved the symptoms of cough, abdominal pain and purpura. He was discharged 3 days later and continued to take medication for follow-up treatment.
Wurilin New Hospital stated that allergic purpura, also known as IgA vasculitis, is more likely to occur in children aged 3 to 10 years old. The incidence rate in boys is higher than that in girls. It is often triggered by upper respiratory tract infection, bacterial or viral infection, and sick children should be diagnosed as soon as possible. With more treatment, the children can recover smoothly.

Beijing Pediatrics is rumoured to be on the verge of collapse. Parents call the police in the middle of the night over queuing disputes
Reporter : Zhou Guihang / Editor: Hu Long / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2023/11/21/a103828417.html
"Respiratory diseases" have broken out again in Beijing, Tianjin, Liaoning and other places in China, and children's hospitals are full. It is reported online that Beijing's "medical system is at its lowest point." Some hospitals have to wait in line for 24 hours for emergency treatment, and some hospitals have called the police because of queuing disputes.
Chinese Communist Party officials attribute this year’s wave of large-scale respiratory infections to “flu”, “mycoplasma pneumonia” and so on. However, many people strongly doubt that it is a covid variant. Some people also believe that the epidemic in the past three years may have caused the Chinese people's immunity to be low, which has led to the pandemic of various infectious diseases.
Recently, news spread on the Internet that Beijing Children's Hospital and Capital Institute of Pediatrics were not ranked at all. Pictures posted online showed that the Department of Pediatrics at Beijing Friendship Hospital also posted a reminder that "the waiting time for the emergency number is now more than 24 hours." There is also a red line drawn under the word "above", indicating that the waiting time may be more than 24 hours.
There are also pictures showing that Beijing Children’s Hospital has more than 2,000 numbers for consultation and blood collection.

Another parent in Beijing revealed on the Internet that he took his child to the Children's Hospital on the 19th, and the number of consultations was 2,329, but it was not until 4 p.m. that more than 800 numbers were called.

This parent also revealed that he took his child to the Peking University Obstetrics, Gynecology and Children's Hospital (Peking University Women and Children's) for emergency treatment, but the result was still a long queue. The parents called the police because of the queue dispute, but to no avail, so he had to take the child home first, go again tomorrow.
Image : Webpage Screenshot
The parent mentioned that doctors from Peking University Obstetrics, Gynecology and Children's Hospital said that they usually only have more than 300 calls a day, but now they suddenly increase to 700 or 800, and they are overwhelmed. When parents started queuing that day, the hospital announced that if their number was called by mistake, the number would be invalid. As a result, at 11 o'clock in the evening, when the number 406 was called, many people with numbers over 300 suddenly came and were allowed to see the doctor. As a result, the number remained at 406 for a whole hour. The parents angrily argued with the hospital and finally called the police.
After the police arrived, they asked parents to take their children to the Children's Hospital or the Capital Institute of Pediatrics (Children's Research Institute). The parents did not agree because these two hospitals were already full, and many parents did not attend these two hospitals. No., I just came to Peking University Obstetrics, Gynecology and Children’s Hospital. In the end, the police passed the matter to the Xicheng District Government and diverted several children over 14 years old to adult hospitals, but the problem was not solved.
The parent said that the current situation is that Beijing's powerful children's hospitals and pediatric research institutes cannot get appointments at all. You have to wait more than 24 hours for emergency treatment at Friendship Hospital. Women and children at Peking University need to go to the emergency room early in the morning, but they also have to wait 12 hours. hours or more. The weaker Fengtai Women and Children and Xicheng Women and Children can be ranked, but they still have to wait for several hours.
Many local netizens, including Weibo influencers, lamented, “I have never seen anything like this before.”
Not only children, adults in Beijing are also seriously infected. A big V on Weibo broke the news that the respiratory department of Beijing Hospital was "a little nervous again" and that he was also infected. He went to the hospital to register on Tuesday (21st), but his appointment was scheduled for Friday.
Many netizens complained that their children were also infected and that "half" of their children's classes were infected.
In addition to Beijing, the Tianjin Children's Hospital is also full. The number of children visiting the hospital every day exceeds 13,000, a surge of more than ten times than usual. The number of emergency calls at Beichen Children's Hospital has exceeded 3,000.
In addition, a large number of videos posted online show that Dalian Children's Hospital has been overcrowded in the past month. The authorities continued to suppress information.

On 21 November 2023, Wang Quanyi, deputy director of the Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention and chief epidemiologist, told the media that influenza, rhinovirus, respiratory syncytial virus, mycoplasma pneumoniae, covid virus, etc. are currently circulating at the same time, and we need to be wary of "mixed infections." , try to go to crowded places as little as possible, and wear masks when going out.
He reminded key groups and places such as schools, childcare institutions, and elderly care institutions to take precautions.
A large number of videos and photos leaked online showing that the Beijing Children's Hospital and Pediatric Research Institute were both full and still crowded at 1 am.
A video shows that on 21 November, the outpatient hall of Beijing Children's Hospital was full of people, the stairs were congested, and no one could go upstairs. After finally getting up, I saw that the second floor was also crowded with people.
A parent of a child posted a video saying that due to too many patients, Beijing Children's Hospital built a new shed as a children's fever clinic. It was already 6 o'clock in the evening, and there were 500 children waiting for infusion in front of him. He felt like he was collapsed on the spot but could not walk away. He waited for 3 hours for the child to receive the infusion.
Another parent took his child to the Beijing Children's Research Institute Hospital for emergency treatment late at night. It was already 12 o'clock in the evening. He was frightened by the huge crowd inside. He did not expect that it was 1 o'clock in the morning and there were still so many people in the hospital for treatment. He got number 486, and now he has been called number 311. He estimates that it will take him 2 hours to see a doctor.
Wen Danning, director of the Pediatric Infectious Disease Department of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, warned that there have been many cases of mixed infections with severe symptoms, including fever and white lungs, and it is recommended that patients seek medical treatment in time.
However, many hospitals are now overcrowded and inpatient beds are hard to come by.
A parent of a child in Beijing said that his child had a fever on 12 November and developed pneumonia three days later. He wanted to be hospitalized but there was no bed, and the queue had been extended to five days later. I was forced to change a hospital. At 7 pm, his registration queue was No. 109. He did not see a doctor until almost 11pm.
Beijing netizens said: "Business in all walks of life is bleak, but hospitals are extremely busy and it is difficult to find a number one." "Today, indeed, the number of numbers in the afternoon exceeded 2,400."
Faced with this fierce wave of infections, the Beijing Municipal Health Commission stated that 2023 will be a "big year" for infections. The virus may mutate, easily causing lung infections very quickly, and making it more difficult to cure.

Some netizens said bluntly: "I feel that this virus is much more powerful than covi. The hospital is full. When I go to the emergency room at 9 pm, there are more than 300 people in line. The doctors in the small clinic are so busy that the hospital can no longer even buy erythromycin."
Some netizens wondered why CCP China was the only one to experience a peak of infections. “Has anyone who has been abroad told me that children’s hospitals abroad are also full?”
After three years of raging epidemics, almost no other countries have seen large-scale population infections like mainland China. The epidemic in China has not subsided for a long time, and it has also attracted continued attention from the outside world.
Covid targets the Communist Party
As early as March 2020, Master Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Gong, clearly pointed out in the article "Reason": "The plague itself is arranged by God and is inevitable in historical development." "The current plague like the 'CCP virus' (Wuhan pneumonia) comes with a purpose and a goal. It is here to eliminate members of the evil party and those who work with the evil party of the Chinese Communist Party."
Master Li pointed out the way out for people: "Stay away from the evil CCP and do not stand for the evil party, because behind it is the red devil, its surface behavior is hooligan, and it does all kinds of evil. God is going to start to eradicate it, and those who stand for it will be eliminated. "
On 16 January 2023, Li Hongzhi said that the CCP has been covering up the epidemic for more than three years. The epidemic in China has killed 400 million people, and when this wave of epidemic is over, 500 million people will die in CCP China.
In August, the world is reminded that the covid epidemic mainly targets the Communist Party and those who blindly follow the CCP, protect the CCP, and work hard for the CCP. Many people have died so far, including many young people.

On 20 November, multiple Chinese media reported that currently, various respiratory pathogens such as Mycoplasma pneumoniae, influenza, and Streptococcus pneumoniae are in the epidemic stage. Many people have been infected, and some people have suffered from mixed infections with multiple pathogens. Patients generally have symptoms of cough, sputum, runny nose, fever, and general fatigue.
However, the report did not mention the overcrowding of pediatrics in hospitals across the country.
On 21 November 2023, Mr. Tong, a citizen of Tianjin, told The Epoch Times reporter, “This wave of virus epidemic is very serious. Now the pediatric departments of hospitals in Beijing, Tianjin, Dalian, Shenyang and other places are all full, and children cannot be treated.”
Mr. Tong said that the hospital's pediatric department has been overcrowded for a long time, and it is getting more and more serious now. However, experts do not speak out, and doctors do not speak either, including Zhong Nanshan (academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering).

Regarding parents’ reports that the number of emergency room registrations reached 3,000, the staff member said, “There are indeed a lot of registered patients. We only have so many doctors, and we can handle so many people at the maximum number of consultations we can see every day.
"Every morning at 7 a.m. and 1 p.m., the hospital will release a number. But it is difficult to get one. Because so many children are sick now. Even our own children are sick, and we can't get a number. We have to grab it. We Just check them online one by one and see if you have an account.”

All the children in the classes are on leave
Mr. Wei, a Beijing citizen, told The Epoch Times on the 21st that many children are now asking for leave, and many are hospitalized. They don’t cough and have no symptoms other than high fever. Many of them have symptoms of pulmonary nodules.
"In some serious cases, all the students in a class are sick, and their family members and teachers are also infected. It's very serious."
Mr. Wei revealed: "Now the school doesn't allow you to talk about it, nor does it allow you to talk about these things in the class group. You can only talk to the teacher alone. The Education Committee has already done the work for the school, and the school has also done the work for the parents.
"If you have any symptoms, such as fever, cough, cold, or if you are hospitalized, please ask for leave from the teacher. We can't talk about these things in the class group. We often come to the door, and even organize meetings for parents of dozens of classes, with hundreds of people, and we are not afraid of infection. .”
Since the CCP gave up on epidemic prevention and clearance, every time there was a large-scale infection and hospitals were full, the CCP would invent a new term, including influenza A, pharyngitis, mycoplasma pneumonia, etc. However, mainland Chinese believe that the name may be changed to diguise covid.

Argentina refuses to join the BRICS, makes a sharp turn, and the CCP is furious
Reporter : Chen Qian / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2023/11/22/a103828459.html
Right-wing liberal Javier Milei was elected as the new president of Argentina. Not only did he promise reforms, but his diplomatic stance also shifted to be pro-American and anti-communist. Milei's team has stated recently that Argentina will not join the BRICS group led by the Chinese Communist Party.
Javier Milei was just elected president on Sunday, and his chief foreign affairs adviser Diana Mondino made it clear on Monday that Argentina will not join the "BRICS" group led by the Communist Party of China, Russia, Brazil and other countries because there is no certainty that Argentina will benefit from it.
This unabashed statement of "slapping" the CCP in the face immediately made the CCP's Ministry of Foreign Affairs furious.
Mao Ning, spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Communist Party of China: "If Argentina cuts off ties with a major country like China or Brazil, it will be a serious mistake in Argentina's diplomacy."
At the BRICS summit in August 2023, member expansion was one of the important topics, and Argentina was one of the first countries invited to join the BRICS group.
Current affairs commentator Tang Jingyuan: "The CCP has tried its best to operate before. In fact, its real purpose is to redraw the political map of the world, so that these countries can align themselves again. It actually uses the BRICS summit as a counterweight to the BRICS summit organized by the United States. Viewed from the perspective of the strategy of being part of the global order dominated by the West. So from this perspective, Argentina’s changes are of great significance. It is not only a public denial of the CCP’s own economic development model, but also his The CCP and the United States are competing for the right to speak in this international world. For this attempt, I think Argentina is equivalent to a public slap in the face this time, and I even think it cannot be ruled out that Argentina may set a demonstration effect."
Analysts believe that the CCP, as Argentina’s second largest trading partner, has long been related to Argentina’s economic crisis.
Milei's coming to power is likely to disrupt the CCP's layout. Because Millei had publicly criticized the Chinese Communist regime and stated that he would not cooperate with the "Communist Party" and instead sought to strengthen ties with the United States.
Tang Jingyuan: "Argentina and the CCP have signed a swap agreement for the peso and the renminbi. Everyone knows that the CCP is going to engage in currency manipulation and use this currency manipulation to achieve its goals. It is a regime that does not abide by the rules at all but it will directly affect Argentina’s currency because the binding relationship between the two parties is very deep. Argentina is also an important participant in the CCP’s Belt and Road Initiative in South America.”
Now, Argentines who are in deep economic troubles have voted for Milei, expecting him to change the current situation in Argentina. Milei's conservative and anti-communist stance is likely to greatly reduce the CCP's influence in South America.
Tang Jingyuan: "His (Milei's) economic turn means that he will suddenly turn to a free economy and a market economy. In addition, his personal anti-communist tendency has basically decided that the CCP has invested in Argentina over the years. There are many resources, not only tangible economic and financial resources, but also some personnel relationships, personnel layout, many fields, its influence, its expansion, etc., which may ultimately be a waste of money. It was a waste.”

Refusing to take the oath of allegiance, 535 non-civil service employees of the Hong Kong government resigned

Recently, Hong Kong government officials revealed that 535 non-civil service employees refused to sign a sworn statement and have all resigned.
On 20 November 2023, the Secretary for the Civil Service of the Hong Kong Government, Josephine Yeung, revealed at a meeting of the Civil Service Committee of the Legislative Council that according to statistics, 149 full-time non-civil service contract employees and 386 part-time non-civil service contract employees refused to sign the oath of allegiance to the SAR and they support the Basic Law and have all resigned.
At the same time, the number of civil servants resigning has reached a new high. Hong Kong media said that documents showed that as of March 31 this year, there were about 192,000 civil service positions, but the actual number was about 174,000, leaving 18,000 vacancies. Yeung admitted that the situation was not ideal.
Documents show that as of 30 June 2023, the Hong Kong government employed a total of 9,468 full-time non-civil service contract employees, a decrease of approximately 9,000 from the peak on 30 June 2006.
After the CCP imposed the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Law" in Hong Kong in 2019, Hong Kong was further controlled by the CCP. The national security law gives the Chinese Communist Party and the Hong Kong government broad powers to monitor Hong Kong schools, civic organizations, media and the Internet.
The Hong Kong government issued a notice in October 2020, requiring newly hired civil servants on or after 1 July 2020 to sign a declaration, and civil servants employed in senior positions (such as heads of departments) must swear an oath of allegiance.
The content of the oath includes supporting the "Hong Kong Basic Law", being loyal to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and being responsible to the Hong Kong government. If the employee refuses to sign the declaration or oath, he or she will be deemed to be ineligible for employment.
Hui Chi-feng, then a pro-democracy member of Hong Kong's Legislative Council, criticized the Hong Kong government's requirement of civil servants to swear an oath of allegiance as "a very ugly practice and a form of political manipulation." He emphasized: "There is no problem for civil servants to be loyal to the Basic Law and the country but (the authorities) have given a clearer message to the public that they must be loyal to the CCP regime and cannot say anything the regime does not like."

Reporters : Zhao Fenghua and Mingyu / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2023/11/22/a103828497.html / Image : Video Screenshot
During the APEC anti-communist activities, Jie Lijian, an anti-communist person arrested, was released on court bail on Monday night. Several human rights organizations in the United States signed a petition and sent an open letter to President Biden to express support for those who have suffered transnational suppression by the Chinese Communist Party.
Jie Lijian, CEO of the Youth Department of China Democracy Party: "Severely punish the murderer! Severely punish the murderer!"
At 9 pm EST on 20 November 2023, China Democracy Party Youth Department CEO Jie Lijian appeared in San Francisco County Superior Court and was released on zero dollar bail on the spot.
Jie Lijian: "I hope that the U.S. law will give me and my friends (s) justice as soon as possible. This is the biggest wish of all of us victims, all the victims of beatings."
Chen Chuangchuang, an American lawyer familiar with the case, said that Jie Lijian was granted bail, which means that the battle with the CCP has just begun, and called on the outside world to continue to pay attention to the case.
Liu Jun, the lawyer representing Jie Lijian, said that many of the CCP agents who attacked Jie Lijian in San Francisco have criminal records.
Liu Jun, the lawyer representing Jie Lijian: "From what I know about this case, it is obvious that they are supporters of the Communist Party. They are carrying out this kind of political violence to attack many people in the democratic movement."
Zhao Xin, general coordinator of anti-communist activities in San Francisco, said that during the summit, nearly 50 peaceful protesters were beaten by CCP agents. He called on the international community to pay attention to the Chinese Communist Party’s transnational repressive atrocities.
Zhao Xin, executive member of the National Committee of the China Democratic Party: "This time, according to incomplete statistics, more than 20 members of the China Democratic Party alone have been beaten and injured, and all of them have called the police. In addition to other (victimized) Tibetans, Xinjiang People, Vietnamese, Falun Gong (students), and Hong Kong people, a total of nearly 50 people (beaten), we are collecting evidence, and we will hold a joint press conference with American lawmakers at the U.S. Capitol Building , exposing the scandal of the CCP’s transnational suppression.”
Chinese pro-democracy and human rights groups across the United States are counting the number of anti-communist activists who were injured by CCP agents during the summit in order to provide more evidence to the U.S. Congress and the FBI to expose the CCP’s illegal suppression of dissidents overseas.
At the same time, a number of overseas human rights organizations and pro-democracy movement groups launched an online petition and publicly sent a letter to President Joe Biden, requesting support for pro-democracy activists who suffered transnational suppression by the Chinese Communist Party during the APEC summit.
According to reports, Jie Lijian’s next court date is 13 December 2023.
