RE: Finally, China is economically collapsing. People are canceling all their services.

So, you’re saying the service cancellations are not as a result of deaths, but people refusing to use cellphones?

I find it hard to believe this, given that cell phones are getting to be very necessary for life in China, from buying to identification to surveillance to communication.

RE: Could be the Govt working to shut some individuals up? Also if they are not working how many in China can afford a phone? It’s not a right over there.

The digitization level is very high in China. People can’t survive without a cellphone, Dealing with the government for pensions and social security, buying train tickets, shopping … no matter what people want to do, they are required to use cellphones.

The Chinese regime requires all Chinese to use their cellphones to generate a health code. Only with a green health code are Chinese allowed to move in China now. It’s impossible for a person to cancel his cellphone.

China introduced mandatory facial scans on Dec. 1, 2019, to confirm the identity of the person who registered the phone. As early as Sept. 1, 2010, China required all cellphone users to register phones with their real identification, by which the state can control people’s speech via its large-scale monitoring system.

Furthermore, Chinese people’s bank accounts and social security accounts are bundled with their cellphone plans; apps on Chinese phones check SIM cards against the state’s database to make sure the number belongs to the user.

Beijing first launched cellphone-based health codes on March 10. All people in China must install a cellphone app and register their personal health information. Then the app can generate a QR code, which appears in three colors, to classify the user’s health level. Red means the person has an infectious disease, yellow means the person might have one, and green means the person doesn’t.

Just an example of the NECESSITY of having a cellphone ( AKA Smartphone ).

There is also the mysterious phenomena in China where 21 million cell phone accounts have disappeared ( cancelled ).


This one makes me wonder how long it takes the dead to cancel their phone service.

Their relatives do it, or, it gets canceled for non-payment.

And non-payment takes a while.

The Chinese have not even come clean on the Tienanmen Square victim numbers.

I am told that it is "unhealthy" for a Chinese citizen to even admit that it happened.

Sadly, there was more sanity aboard the Red Dwarf (for a million years) than there is in American politics today...

an estimated 46,800 deaths

Seems low, but could be.
