As the outbreak continues to heat up in Hebei and Heilongjiang, China, the international community is still pressuring China to track down the source of the virus. Some Chinese netizens have looked up past fragmented reports in the official media, pointing out that this is enough to support the accusation that the Chinese government is hiding the outbreak, and highlights the fact that China has been studying the New Coronavirus for a long time.
The Hebei Provincial New Coronavirus Epidemic Prevention and Control Command announced that on Jan. 17, 54 new cases of New Coronavirus were confirmed in the province, including 52 in Shijiazhuang and 2 in Xingtai. In addition, the person responsible for a nucleic acid testing agency in Longyao County, Hebei Province, has been detained by the police for concealing 3 positive cases, and the perpetrator has been investigated.
On Monday, Tianjin, which is adjacent to Hebei, also took measures to close the city. Two short clips uploaded by netizens show public security officers stopping vehicles.
Public security said: this piece of Beijing Bin, will soon be closed. The Beijing Avenue, the direction to the Jinbin can not pass it, everyone is not allowed to enter (Tianjin), my God, even cars and people are not allowed to go.
Large cities are closing roads in advance to protect themselves
In another clip, a traffic police officer tells a driver that “the higher-ups have ordered a seven-day closure”.
The traffic police said: you are not allowed to leave, it is currently seven days. It may be open tomorrow, when the leaders have a change of heart, open tomorrow. Do not let you on Tianjin, do you understand what I mean, or you go back home, home to Shandong, back to Shandong.
Ms. Tang, a resident of Tianjin, said in an interview with Radio Free Asia this Monday (18) that no new coronavirus infections have been found in Tianjin, but the authorities have taken strict preventive measures for safety’s sake.
Ms. Tang said: the proximity to Hebei, everywhere is closed their own road. There are no cases in Tianjin yet. Yesterday I received a call from one of our local sheriff, saying that we have no epidemic in Tianjin now, too close to Hebei, they are sealing themselves first, very nervous.
This Monday morning, Heilongjiang Province held a press conference on the prevention and control of the epidemic, reported that this Sunday the province added seven confirmed cases of Wuhan pneumonia, 81 new cases of asymptomatic infection.
Official media reports over the past decade serve as corroboration for tracing the source of the virus
The U.S. State Department disclosed last week that it has reason to believe that several researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virus Research developed symptoms similar to those of the new coronavirus in the fall of 2019, before the Chinese government acknowledged the discovery of the first confirmed cases, and that the institute has been studying a virus found in bats that is more than 96 percent similar to the new coronavirus since at least 2016, accusing the institute of secret military research.
Chinese netizens have combed through the fragments of Chinese media coverage of the coronavirus over the past decade, based on the U.S. government’s account, confirming that authorities are concealing the new coronavirus epidemic, and that the Wuhan virus laboratory was established to enrich itself. For example, the Hubei Daily reported on September 26, 2019 that Wuhan Customs, in conjunction with the Military Games Executive Committee, held a drill at Wuhan Tianhe Airport. Simulating the whole process of disposing of a case of novel coronavirus infection found in the airport port channel. 23 February 2017 Pengbei News reported that the Wuhan National Biosafety Laboratory is part of China’s plan to build a network of P4 laboratories “to study the world’s most dangerous pathogens”, etc.
International controversial figure Shi Zhengli receives another official commendation
Shi Zhengli, the lab’s leader in 2015, successfully crossed the SARS virus with a bat virus to create a new coronavirus that can effectively infect the human respiratory tract. Just two years prior, on Feb. 21, 2013, the Jinan Times published an article that the new coronavirus evolved to be able to infect humans.
The Chinese Academy of Sciences last week again publicly praised Shi Zhengli, a researcher at the New Coronavirus Institute, and called her an “advanced worker of the Chinese Academy of Sciences,” even describing her achievements in virus research at length.

In response, Chinese scholar Zhang Zhilin said in an interview with the station that the information obtained by netizens from fragmented reports in the official media and collated to reach a convincing conclusion.
Zhang Zhilin said: This is something I have noticed for a long time, because they technically made a move in 2017, proving that there is something going on here. Shi Zhengli had the so-called significant academic results as early as 17 years ago, supposedly in 2015, so the matter fragmented a little bit of knowledge.
Zhang Hai, a family member of the victims of New Coronavirus pneumonia, questioned to this station why the dead were ordinary people and suspected that the top government officials knew about the epidemic early on.
Zhang Hai said: this new coronavirus outbreak since the loss of life are ordinary people, and no high-ranking officials and dignitaries, that they all know is the ordinary people do not know. That’s why I’ve always felt particularly angry about this. I always think that accountability is particularly important.

Mr. Wang, a resident of Wuhan, revealed that they were aware of the status of the spread of the epidemic locally, but did not dare to discuss it.
Mr. Wang said: this is top secret material, can not say, but all can not be erased. So it’s a national secret, and when it comes out, we all suffer.
As early as a year ago in mid-January, Wuhan’s South China Seafood Wholesale Market was cleaned up by authorities as a key area for those infected by the epidemic.
