Their social credit score was too low so they lost their phone priveledges.

The Chinese govt apparently mandated cell phone users several months ago, to include health information in their phones.

I believe some users, simply cancelled, as a result.

How better to ‘control’ a population than by disarming them and cutting off communication to the outside world.

Some will soon be wondering why WE ever let CW go ‘down the drain’.

I will be giving lessons whenever BUT as the classes grow, the price will go up....HA HA

Saw something today that said

“OH NO!! I am turning into a Liberal”
‘Sitting home all day, no job, no money, watching the tube for people to tell me what to do and lay around all day waiting for my benefit check and other ‘freebies’ to come in’

Chinese I know often have multiple cell phones - one for friends, business, mistresses, or any other reason. You can buy very cheap phones there.

There’s also the possibility of the ChiComs using the excuse and panic to make people disappear.

If a business owner dies and the business doesn't reopen, then a lot of people's business phones go off.

If a business is shut down, then a lot of business phone accounts cease until such a time as they get back on their feet.

So not every vanished phone account equates to a death.

I had one day of no work.

Mostly it’s reduced or different work.

I would imagine China would immediately cut cell phone service if they saw anything being transmitted that they didn’t like.

I think you have the Occam’s Razor answer.

If they all dropped dead we’d be seeing proportional numbers in other countries, which we aren’t.

Yes, they are lying but lapsed cellphones have little or no bearing on the death toll.

Lots of people in Asia have more than one cellphone. Kids will have the official phone their parents give them and a private phone to talk to their friends on. Businesses will have an official cell phone that is separate from your personal phone. Taxi drivers in HK and China have 4 or 5 cell phones plugged into their dash to get riders.

As I said in a previous time this was posted I once laughed until I cried at a girl in the HK MTR who had three phones ringing at the same time and was struggling to answer all of them.

Many of these people pay a monthly fee for the phone in cash at a China mobile. They can’t go out. People don’t use credit cards because a lot of the PRC economy is a cash economy so, .......... they can’t charge the phone. The contract lapses.

As of 1 January 2020, the population of China was estimated to be 1,408,526,449 people. If you consider them normally having a 1.5% annual death rate then 21,127,896 die per year.

21 million out of nearly 800 million cell phone subscribers? Its insignificant.
Plus people may give up their cell phones when they lose their jobs, and those who have two cell phones (one from work and one for personal use) will quickly lose one of them when they lose their jobs.
This article is wordless.

Is there an actual source for this claim of 21 millions disappearing telephones?
