Why did Xi Jinping give Zhang Zhan a heavy sentence

Zhang Zhan, a former Shanghai lawyer and citizen journalist, was sentenced to four years in prison on Dec. 28 by a court manipulated by the Communist Party of China (CPC) for truthfully reporting the situation of the pneumonia epidemic in Wuhan. As news of Zhang’s harsh sentence spread, some observers noted that the heavy-handed treatment of Zhang by The Communist party, headed by Xi Jinping, actually made it more difficult to reverse the narrative of Xi’s arbitrariness leading to global catastrophe.

The Novel Coronavirus epidemic in Wuhan is the novel Coronavirus epidemic that originated in Wuhan in 2019 and then spread throughout China and the world, causing an endless global catastrophe.

In global public health researchers and government public health authorities are still struggling when it comes to the outbreak of still in development, including China’s Allies Iran and Iran, hatred of the United States, many countries believe that the Chinese government after the outbreak and occur quite a long time trying to conceal and desalination outbreak make originally should be a local Chinese public health crisis became a worldwide catastrophe.

Novel Coronavirus epidemic (Wuhan Pneumonia Epidemic) has become the most popular novel in the world related to the novel Coronavirus epidemic. However, this novel is widely regarded by many observers and critics both at home and abroad as xi Jinping’s own monopoly.

The news that Mr. Zhang was sentenced to four years in prison for stirring up trouble simply because he had gone to Wuhan to report on the epidemic seemed to reinforce the narrative that Mr. Xi’s autocratic rule in China was a global catastrophe.

“In this case, we can see the whole situation,” said Hong Kong media magnate Kim Jong Il. What they call their success now is a shameful, illegal, inhumane and lawless method. The arrest and sentencing of Zhang Zhan is, in my opinion, an illustration of such a situation. She is such a person, such a woman reporter, such a weak person, they all dare to do such a thing.”

Wei Jingsheng, a Chinese human rights and democracy activist, said: “What did Zhang Zhan do? She just took some live videos and put them on the Internet. What kind of crime is that? Not at all. It’s not even an attack on the government. She just took pictures of the real thing. Who is most afraid of telling the truth? That’s the person who did the wrong thing. The person who did the wrong thing didn’t just lie; he did the wrong thing.”

What does “personally deploy and personally direct” mean

In today’s China, the Propaganda department of the Communist Party of China stresses that hundreds of millions of Chinese people must be determined and determined, and that all government departments and their officials must obey the command of the central government, namely Xi Jinping. In addition, When meeting with WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanouk tedros, Xi said publicly that China’s response to the epidemic has been “personally deployed and directed” by xi himself.

But I and xi xi had been conspicuously avoided many Chinese public propaganda team and international social concern of an important issue, that is, the outbreak of the first occurrence and development, also is the most promising will outbreak control in local area, who is specifically ordered blockade and weaken the news which may lead to a pandemic spreading outbreak.

Many observers, both inside and outside China, have noted that Mr. Xi himself claimed to have given specific instructions on Jan. 7, 2020, but that the Communist Party authorities and Mr. Xi have so far been slow to release exactly what instructions he gave that day for unknown reasons or for fear.

On January 23, 2020, in wuhan, a deadly pneumonia rapidly spread throughout China and around the world attention, in a population of more than one thousand wuhan authorities announced unprecedented in human history sealing city to stop the spread of a few hours later, xi jinping to the identity of the communist party of China central committee general secretary and state President to be held in Beijing on the Spring Festival mass of speech, no mention of wuhan, not to mention city, not to mention the outbreak.

Analysts noted that on New Year’s Day 2020, China Central Television, a state broadcaster that publicly pledged its allegiance to Mr. Xi, broadcast more than a dozen reports that eight people had been admonished by public security authorities for spreading rumors about a pneumonia outbreak in Wuhan. This threatening, so-called press release has caused doctors across China to feel unsafe and no one dares to talk about the epidemic any more. Li Wenliang, a doctor in Wuhan, was among those admonished by the Communist Party’s public security organs. Mr. Li later died of the epidemic, as the Communist authorities had said.

The party’s control such as CCTV and threat to the public in official media broadcast news of so-called tale was admonished by at the same time, also to spread misleading the spread of the so-called “positive energy”, including the explosive development of epidemic on January 18, 2020 held a beaming wuhan “family dinner” large-scale public activities. At the same time, the Communist Party’s online public opinion control department went into overdrive, aggressively deleting thousands of private posts on the Chinese Internet about the epidemic.

In early 2020, hundreds of thousands of Chinese unwittingly contracted the virus through such information blockages and misleading propaganda by the Communist authorities, causing the epidemic to expand rapidly and spread around the world.

Simply because in the review, led by xi jinping, China’s communist regime kowalski b r. correction in wuhan area pneumonia outbreak, the truth will she reported the wuhan sentenced to heavy sentences, jingsheng wei said: “you are such a tough way to prohibit somebody else to talk, you have a guilty conscience, is a sign that you are sensitive, that has been hidden behind the truth. This is a serious problem. So the reaction to Zhang’s sentence around the world has been particularly strong.”

Critics point out that Under Mr Xi, China’s judiciary has not even bothered to beat Mr Zhang with a stick. During the trial, prosecutors, controlled by the communist party, accused zhang zhan of making so-called “questionable comments” through his weibo account and WeChat and Youtube, but neither listed his articles or texts nor played his Youtube videos.

Meanwhile, Chinese netizens have complained that their social media accounts on WeChat have been banned simply because they mentioned zhang zhan’s name.

At a time when countries around the world, including China, are still grappling with the new COMMUNIST Party virus, the sentencing of Zhang Zhan, who reported it truthfully, made world news. The United States and the European Union demand the immediate release of Zhang Zhan by Chinese Communist authorities.

Some analysts believe that it would be in The interest of Mr. Xi’s authorities now to heed international calls for his release, not only for Mr. Zhang and his family, but for Mr. Xi himself. Others say the only way Xi may get away with the epidemic is to release Zhang Zhan and exonerate him publicly, so as to show the international community that he is not responsible for blocking information about the epidemic and ultimately leading to a world catastrophe.

Is it possible that Mr Xi will order Zhang’s release

Could Mr Xi order his release at a time when many believe it will be good for Mr Zhang, good for China and good for Mr Xi himself? Wei jingsheng said, the question is not actually suspense. “I don’t think so,” he said. Because It is true that Xi Jinping has done a lot of bad things, and he has done a lot of bad things that are hidden from the public. Under such circumstances, if he released Zhang Zhan, he would encourage many people who saw the truth to come forward. Then there’s no escaping him.”

Hong Kong media veteran Kim Jong Il

Kim Jong Il, a Hong Kong media veteran, agreed that Mr. Xi could not have ordered Mr. Zhang’s release, and did not care that the sentencing of Mr. Zhang by the communist Party’s judicial authorities under his control would further reinforce speculation to the Chinese public and the international community that he had ordered a blackout and played down news of the outbreak. “He’s a pig now,” Kim said. “He doesn’t care about boiling water. He doesn’t have a straight face.”

On the other hand, critics point out that the Communist Party and Xi Jinping’s administration are not unafraid of boiling water, but sensitive to the Chinese public and international opinion. Otherwise, the Chinese communist party would not need to spend so much money and manpower to block critical voices and news coverage from both home and abroad.

In addition, some critics also point out, is an official media publicity of the communist party of China celebrates jinping leading China anti epidemic untidier office-mate books “big fight” disease “- 2020” in 19 cases in China over COVID – all of a sudden in the condemnation from China and abroad in the whole of China under the frame, this situation also clearly shows the xi jinping and his regime is highly sensitive to public opinion.
