As for Li Qiang’s possible whereabouts, Li Chuanliang, who was deputy mayor of Jixi, Heilongjiang province, and went into exile in the United States last year, joining the Chinese Democratic Party, based his analysis on his previous experience. He said, “Every place now has many (detention) points for (Li Qiang) in this state, the so-called ‘hotels’ and ‘guesthouses. Of course, China is now taking advantage of the Wuhan virus Epidemic and there will be many epidemic detention sites. Some may be held in psychiatric hospitals as ‘mentally unstable’. Most will go into some so-called ‘learning institutes’, some centralized ‘educational training institutions’, similar to the concentration camps in Xinjiang, (which are) many of those ‘learning institutions’. “

As of press time, the reporter has made several attempts to contact the Xiaotangshan town government, trying to ask the whereabouts of Li Qiang, but the phone has been unanswered.
