Recently, the number of confirmed cases or asymptomatic infections announced by the National Health Commission of the Communist Party of China (CPC) has remained at 10 or less per day, and during the May Day holiday, only single digits were announced almost every day, of course, they were all imported cases from abroad.
On May 4, Xinhua News Agency reported, “Zero medium and high risk areas in China! On May 5, Xinhua also reported that “267 million passengers are expected to be sent nationwide during the May Day holiday”.
Does the good news from the Communist Party media really indicate that the epidemic situation in mainland China is stable? As soon as the holiday was over, the wind changed in the party media, seemingly revealing a harbinger of the spread of the epidemic. The State Council also suddenly published Li Keqiang’s speech on April 26, calling for “truthful, open and transparent release of information to contain the epidemic in key areas” and “effective handling of localized clusters of epidemics”.
The public opinion propaganda around the holidays shows that the epidemic in mainland China seems to be quite unusual.
After the Chinese Communist Party gloated over the epidemic in India, on May 5, Xinhua reported, “This neighboring country has asked China for help, the situation is critical! and placed it at number two on the news hot list, along with a second report, “Nepal is turning into a mini-India”.
On May 7, Xinhua suddenly reported, “China’s CDC recommends 14-day self-observation after travel,” saying, “The public should observe themselves for 14 days after travel, take precautions to prevent infection of others if they have suspicious symptoms, seek medical attention and inform doctors of their travel history. Their travel history”.
This report is very strange, if according to the CDC this requirement, the 267 million travelers during the May Day trip will not have to home isolation? Such a peculiar requirement seems to prevent possible community infections, but the article states that “the New Crown Pneumonia (CCP pneumonia) epidemic continues to be prevalent in many countries and regions outside of China” and that “individuals still need to protect themselves well.
The article also quotes CDC expert Wu Zunyou as saying that “people usually come into contact with many people during travel, among whom there may be asymptomatic infected people, etc.” and that “after returning, you should be careful to observe changes in your own health condition on the one hand and minimize contact with friends on the other “, “Pay attention to see if you have symptoms such as fever or diarrhea, or if you feel particularly tired, not unlike ordinary exertion”, “If the symptoms do not lift soon, you need to seek prompt medical attention”.
These are all requirements to prevent community infection, especially for asymptomatic infected people, and have little to do with overseas epidemics, but the Chinese Communist Party media had to bring in overseas epidemics. Did they know that the consequences of a large number of clusters during the May Day holiday were not good, and found a scapegoat in advance?
On May 8, the party media also reported, “National Health Commission: the risk of importation of mutated strains cannot be ignored”, which is actually the news from the website of the Communist Party’s National Health Commission on May 5, stating that “the current situation of epidemic prevention and control is still serious and complicated, the risk of importation of epidemic has increased, and the risk of importation of mutated strains into China cannot be ignored”.
On May 8, Xinhua News Agency also reported that “Yunnan informed of five cases of negligence in epidemic prevention and control and border control”. The epidemic in Ruili, Yunnan, has already been suppressed by the Chinese Communist Party and artificially “zeroed out”, so why mention it again? The article said, “the jurisdiction of smuggling illegal criminal activities are frequent, there are loopholes and shortcomings in the prevention and control of the epidemic”, the actual accountability, but also to prevent the import of cases outside the country is not effective people, this should be the key to the party media propaganda.
On May 8, Xinhua News Agency also reported, “New coronavirus on top of the world? The article went so far as to quote a rumor that “17 climbers at the base camp on the south slope of Mount Everest in Nepal have been diagnosed with the new crown virus,” but then said that Nepalese officials had clarified that it was fake news. The party media fervently spread fake news, still trying to instill the impression that the epidemic is coming from outside the country in advance, and finally continued to quote the rumors, saying “According to media reports, although there is no large-scale infection on the south slope of Mount Everest, the epidemic is spreading in the mountains”, and further listing the figures of the epidemic in Nepal, saying “Nepal is even seeing piles of remains being burned in the open” and that “imported cases from India and community cases within Nepal are pushing each other to make the epidemic in the mountainous country deteriorate rapidly.”
Li Keqiang told the truth when the Communist Party media tried to cover up the epidemic on the mainland with the epidemic outside the country. on May 9, the Communist Party’s State Council website published an article, “Li Keqiang’s Speech at the Fourth Integrity Work Conference of the State Council,” which was actually held on April 26, before the May Day holiday.
Li Keqiang said on April 26, “adhere to scientific and precise prevention and control in accordance with the law, compact the responsibility of all parties at all levels, solid and effective fight against the epidemic”, “truthful, open and transparent release of information to contain the epidemic in key areas”, “effective The company’s main goal is to “improve the quality of its products and services”, “to improve the quality of its products and services”, “to improve the quality of its products and services”, “to improve the quality of its products and services”, “to improve the quality of its products and services”.
Li Keqiang’s words actually punctured the Communist Party’s propaganda that the epidemic was under control and the fact that the epidemic reports were falsified. The recent change of tone in the Chinese Communist Party media is not unusual, and may be a harbinger of a new round of epidemic in mainland China that cannot be concealed.
