Xi: Rely on people to win battle against epidemic
Xinhua News Agency ^ | January 27, 2020

BEIJING, Jan. 27 (Xinhua) -- China must rely on the people to win the battle against the novel coronavirus epidemic, President Xi Jinping said Monday.

Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the remarks in an instruction to Party organizations, members and officials, asking them to unite the people in resolutely implementing the decisions and arrangements of the CPC Central Committee.

Xi stressed keeping in mind the people's interests are the highest priority in the current arduous battle of prevention and control against the outbreak of pneumonia caused by the novel coronavirus.

Xi required them to firm up confidence, stay united and take scientific and targeted measures in epidemic prevention and control to allow the Party flag "fly high at the frontline of the battleground."

Party committees at all levels should make scientific and accurate judgments on the epidemic situation, Xi said, demanding unity in leadership, command and action in prevention and control work.

Xi asked Party organization officials, especially chief leaders, to always stay on the job, make commands at the frontline and shoulder their governance responsibilities.

Party organizations and members at the primary level should play the vanguard roles to broadly mobilize, organize and unite the people in joint prevention and control to fortify a strong defense by mass participation.

Party officials will be tested in this arduous battle, Xi said, urging Party committees at all levels to encourage Party members and officials to step out and bravely fight in the battle to see that they can stand the tests through their solid work.

Remember cadre leaders, no packing auntie and the kids off
for a quick vacation to outer mongolia.

This could have drastic effects on such a rigid political
structure.

I’m glad to hear something positive rather than the silence and panic we’ve heard to date. They have got to give their people hope.

What is PETAs stance on this? Are they rooting for people or do they think viruses have rights too? Asking for a friend.

A raging epidemic will bring down the Chinese government in the age of the internet and cell phones.

I think the caption probably reads...

Party members with up to date shot cards may board
evacuation transport first.

“China must rely on the people to win the battle against the novel coronavirus epidemic...”

Translation: The Red Army must shoot the infected faster than the virus can spread.

His party cadre are the ones who own the now idle factories and shipping ports.

I’m wondering just how many of them are idly discussing coup right now while watching their bank accounts drain away...

And did we actually SEE Xi making this announcement. In Beijing? (Identifiably Beijing). Rumor has it he’s evac’d to a bolthole already.

Fever screening is clinical insanity.
...........
Trying to pick out real corona patients from common winter illnesses.
..............
There is no rapid and accurate diagnostic test.
.............
The Chinese are driving non-corona patients to clinics where they are packed in with actual corona patients.
...........
In the US, possible patients are sent home with orders to stay out of the public until symptoms expand and obsolete SARS testing shows a corona virus.
...........
The Chinese mean well, but communist control type thinking is going to cause a faster infection rate.

Well, which is it, young feller?

l mean to say, if they make accurate scientific judgements, they can't rightly be sure they'll be united and if they're united they can't rightly be sure their judgements will be accurate. You see?

Especially when quick decision making needs to be addressed to prohibit 5m from leaving the city of Wuhan on high speed rails.

They are commies, but they are still people, and I wish them nothing but luck, because we dont need to deal with BS exaggerated by stupidly adhering to communist philosophy over good sense.

Empty self-serving rhetoric is “positive”?

“A raging epidemic will bring down the Chinese government in the age of the internet and cell phones.”

That’d be great. This may very well help in decreasing the CCP’s power and influence.

But god is on the communists’ side, or so they think! (Oops, never mind. They don’t believe in a god or gods.) I guess that communist China is on its own. Best of luck.
