Communist Virus Pneumonia Outbreak Topics
As France entered its third national lockdown on March 3, the number of new infections reached 60,000 on the 4th, the highest single day so far this year. France’s health minister warned on the 5th that the number of patients in intensive care units could reach the worst period of the outbreak a year ago. France now has a cumulative total of more than 4.84 million confirmed cases, the fourth highest in the world and more than the United Kingdom to become the first in Europe. In contrast, the number of people infected with the disease has been declining in the UK. So is there a trace of this.
French Health Minister Olivier Veran said on TF1 TV on the 5th that the number of people admitted to intensive care units in France with the Chinese Communist virus could approach the level of intensive care units saturated in April last year. More than 7,000 people infected with the Chinese Communist virus were admitted to intensive care units last April, and many patients were placed in temporary facilities because they far exceeded the capacity of France’s intensive care units.
According to official French data, the number of seriously infected people in hospitals rose by 193 on the 6th, bringing the national total to 5,626. Meanwhile, 409 patients died on the 6th, the highest number in a single day in a month. The cumulative number of patients who have died from communist virus infection nationwide exceeds 97,000.
To avoid the collapse of the health care system, France announced on March 31 the latest round of anti-epidemic blockade measures, which will close French schools at all levels and all businesses selling non-essential goods for a month starting April 3. The French Ministry of Economy estimates that this policy will cost France 11 billion euros per month.
In fact, the number of new infections in France has risen sharply in recent weeks. The French government’s website shows a significant increase in all indicators of the already high level of the epidemic, especially during the week of March 22-28. Infection rates are rising in all age groups, especially in the 0 to 14 age group; a worsening epidemic can be seen in all major metropolitan areas, and the pressure on the health care system has become greater. France is currently ranked first in Europe in terms of cumulative infections with the CCP virus and fourth in terms of cumulative deaths from the epidemic, after the United Kingdom, Italy and Russia.
Is there any evidence that France has surpassed the UK as the worst epidemic in Europe?
A review of the epidemic data of European countries shows that the UK has been the European country with the highest number of cumulative infections due to the variant of the virus for more than two months since the beginning of January, but since March 20, France has overtaken the UK to become the country with the highest number of infections in Europe. After this, the curve of the number of infected people in France climbed all the way up, while the corresponding figure in the UK dropped all the way down and could be unsealed as originally planned. Is there a trace of this?
“Communist pneumonia (Wuhan pneumonia) spread rapidly around the world due to the Chinese Communist Party’s concealment and evolved into a plague that terrified the world. The plague, though relentless, was not untraceable, especially as its tendency to spread outside China starkly nailed the virus’ wind and target: it was coming for the Communist Party.” The article makes it clear that the spread of the epidemic apparently does not depend on the distance from China, but only on the closeness to the Communist Party.
The completely different development of the epidemic as a result of the different recent attitudes of France and the UK towards the CCP seems to be confirming the points made in this feature article by the Epoch Times.
China Global Television Network (CGTN), the official media outlet of the Chinese Communist Party, faces the prospect of losing its entire European market after Ofcom revoked its license to broadcast in the UK in early February. But the French media authority, the Conseil supérieur de l’audiovisuel, announced on March 3 that it had approved CGTN’s application for a broadcast license, meaning that CGTN will be able to continue broadcasting in Europe, including the United Kingdom.
Bloomberg broke the news on March 5 as France announced it was granting CGTN a license for a submarine cable known as Peace, built by China’s Hengtong Group, to snake some 12,070 kilometers (7,500 miles) under the sea from China to Pakistan, underwater and through the Horn of Africa, to land in France later this year. Later in the year, it will land in France.
Huawei, the third-largest shareholder in China’s Hengtong Group, will provide the submarine transmission and landing station equipment for the cable. According to reports, the landing stations could be built with a “back door” that could be tapped. Robert Spalding, a retired U.S. Army general and senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, a Washington, D.C., think tank, said that as long as you have information going through their switches and cables, there is always the risk of being redirected and tapped. “It’s common sense,” he said. Therefore, the United States pressured France on the “peaceful” submarine cable, warning of the risk of eavesdropping.
In addition, at the end of January, Huawei announced the construction of a 5G equipment factory in eastern France, which will be its first 5G-connected factory outside of China. The factory is scheduled to go into operation in 2023, producing its first mobile stations and providing technical equipment for 5G in Europe, among other things.
At the same time, many French dignitaries have been lured by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to be roped in, stand up for and fatten up the CCP. In a long investigative report titled “The Aggressive Chinese Communist Party” broadcast by France 2 at the end of February this year, former French Prime Minister Francois Raffarin was specifically mentioned. Raffarin, out of admiration for China’s 5,000-year-old culture, brought thousands of French companies to the mainland without knowing the difference between China and the CCP, not realizing that in the process he was providing the CCP with the opportunity to force French companies to transfer technology and steal French intellectual property, while destroying France’s national economic base and fattening the CCP with the wealth France had accumulated over the centuries.
The former French prime minister also helped the Chinese Communist Party spread its communist toxins by stumping for it on the French-language television channel of an official mainland media outlet.In 2019, Raffarin received the Order of Friendship from Beijing, which was awarded to a handful of individuals with very close ties to Beijing, such as Cuba’s current president, Raldo Castro.
Raffarin is not the only French dignitary who has been tempted by the Chinese Communist Party to pull the strings, as the report describes officials from the current and former French governments, including former French Defense Minister Ariomarie, former French Health Minister Dousteblage, and former French intelligence chief Bernard Squarcini, as frequenting the place where Chinese embassy officials congregate –French-Chinese Business Club. Former French ministers Jean Louis Borloo and Jean Marie Le Guen have also served as directors of Huawei’s branch in France; Huawei also employs French government staff to liaise with the Elysee Palace.
What’s more, the current French president Macron publicly stated during his presidential campaign that he was a fan of former Communist Party leader Mao Zedong, and cited Deng Xiaoping’s black and white cat theory when explaining his approach to government. The public questioned how much Macron has been poisoned by the Chinese Communist Party, as he did not invoke Mao and Deng instead of so many great thinkers and theorists in France and the West. On December 17 last year, Macron was diagnosed with the Chinese Communist virus.
Is the rapid turnaround of the epidemic in Britain related to the Chinese Communist Party?
On the other hand, in addition to revoking China Global Television Network’s broadcasting license in February, Ofcom announced two rulings on March 8, awarding China Global Television (CGTN) licensees £100,000 and £125,000 respectively for failing to comply with UK broadcasting rules, respecting fairness and privacy, and respecting fairness in their reporting. Ltd.
On February 11, the UK Medicines and Medical Devices (Amendment) Act was passed into law, which is considered one of the most sensitive topics in the Chinese Communist Party. The amendment aims to protect British medical institutions and practitioners from unwittingly engaging in forced organ harvesting, and to counter the evil of “forced organ harvesting of prisoners of conscience” by ensuring that human tissue, organs and cells imported from overseas (and potentially forcibly harvested) cannot enter the British medical community.
In addition, Johnson invited South Korea, India and Australia to the Group of Seven (G7) summit earlier this year to turn the G7 into the D10, which is said to be a proposed 10-nation alliance to confront the Chinese Communist Party. On human rights issues, the UK, along with the EU and the US, imposed travel bans and asset freezes on four CCP officials and one entity for massive human rights violations against ethnic minorities in Xinjiang on March 22.
And after experiencing the ravages of the CCP virus and seeing the CCP’s atrocities in Hong Kong and Xinjiang, the British public’s view of the CCP has fundamentally changed. A poll released by the British Foreian Policy Group (BFPG) on February 16 showed that 41 percent of respondents believe the CCP poses a serious threat, up from 30 percent last year; only 22 percent of respondents support the British government reaching any kind of economic agreement with the CCP; 15 percent of respondents do not want the government to reach any On the sensitive issue of Huawei’s access to the UK’s 5 G network, only 13% of respondents support the government allowing the CCP to participate in the UK’s infrastructure development.
On human rights issues, 40% of respondents support the British government challenging the CCP’s human rights record. And after the global spread of the CCP virus in 2020, only 21% of respondents believe the CCP is behaving responsibly in the international community, far less than Canada (89%), the EU (60%), Japan (59%), the US (43%) and India (40%).
Some analysts say that public perceptions of the CCP in a democracy like the United Kingdom will also contribute to a tougher policy by the British government toward the CCP. Dalibor Rohac, a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, a Washington think tank, therefore estimates that the British government, which has just gained autonomy as a result of its withdrawal from the European Union, will join its allies the United States and Europe in seeking a tougher policy to deal with the Chinese Communist Party’s authoritarian regime.
