Well...
Thery also put the post on Hubei territory.
The report is true, nut not accurate.
It’s like Va putting troops in NC.
Government in China is completely foreign to our ideas. The city government wields great power, and each Chinese citizen has a “city card” that identifies their hometown. This card also controls your travel ability, where you can live, your rate of pension, and when you can retire. Shoot, you can’t even buy a train or bus fare without showing your city card. If you’re not allowed to go to the destination you request, you are denied travel by the kiosk. Your photo is taken, do not attempt the travel.
Provincial government takes all economic data from their cities, and reports to Beijing. I have little experience with this level of Chinese government.
Then there is the PLA. The PLA is controlled by Beijing ONLY, and they answer directly to XiJinping. Provincial governors are powerless against them.
At the top of the food chain in the PLA is their secret police - loosely called WuJing. These soldiers and assassins are above the PLA as our Delta force in some ways - they are the best trained, the best equipped, and are feared even by Politburo members. They are the final arbiter in China. Think KGB on steroids with some PCP on the side.
It is impossible to equate our system of military/police/National Guard with China. When you’re in China, you seldom see police or PLA. But when neighbors or relatives disappear, that is where they went. Good luck finding them. Ever.
Beijing relaxed the travel codes on Hubei, and 3 million of them fled almost overnight. Given that their tests are woefully inaccurate, their neighbors don’t want them to be leaving and starting the infections again.
