The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is fighting a nationwide COVID-19 outbreak and has shut down at least 10 regions as of Monday—coming about two weeks after a New Year’s Eve party in Wuhan, which some experts pointed out was merely a propaganda exercise to promote the CCP as other countries grapple with the virus.
The CCP-backed Global Times newspaper proclaimed that the party in Wuhan was a sign of things to come and the West “should get used to it.” The regime effectively stopped reporting its true CCP virus figures early last year after the virus emerged in Wuhan in 2019, becoming a global pandemic. Human rights experts have said the CCP’s disregard for human life and cover-up campaign exacerbated the spread of the virus worldwide.
But the same state-run paper on Jan. 18 said that now 11 Chinese regions are under “de facto lockdown” amid virus infections. The paper attempted to quibble over the definition of “lockdown” but stipulated that residents in those areas cannot leave and their freedom of movement is restricted.
“Northeast China’s Heilongjiang sealed off at least five regions – Zhaodong, Qinggang, Suihua city’s downtown area, Angangxi district in Qiqihar, and Hulan district in Harbin. Local residents are required to stay in their homes and vehicles are prohibited on roads. Exit and entry roads are also closed off,” the paper said.
In the meantime, the CCP appears to be deploying a propaganda campaign to blame the current virus outbreak on foreign sources. Hua Chunying, a spokesperson for the foreign affairs ministry, repeated the claim that the United States created the virus in a laboratory while social media website Weibo allowed a trend repeating Hua’s claim to stay up.

Officials’ claims about the virus being found in frozen food may be a tactic to blame other countries for the spread of the virus. In November, regime authorities said that allegedly COVID-contaminated food was imported from other countries.
But the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said there is “no evidence” that frozen food can transmit the CCP virus. The World Health Organization (WHO) added last year that it’s not necessary to disinfect food packaging.
Must be Trumps fault /s
The Beijing city government issued more restrictions on travelers in an effort to prevent the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus from spreading.
Two more cities in northeastern Jilin Province went under lockdown, as authorities in two villages in Heilongjiang Province culled all livestock—fearing that animals could also spread the virus.
On Jan. 19, spokesman for the Beijing city government Xu Hejian announced new rules to control the epidemic.
At a daily press conference, he said Beijing and other cities have detected people from overseas who tested positive for COVID-19 after their 14-day quarantine.
Thus, the government decided to extend the quarantine period. People from overseas must isolate for 14 days at quarantine centers, then seven days at home or a quarantine center, and finally another seven days at home, Xu said.
Meanwhile, people within China who live in areas designated as medium or high risk for contracting the virus are not allowed to enter the capital.
Is that a signal to 46ish? 😷🙌
Karma..................................
Well said.
So does that mean that covid will now somehow disappear?
How can this be? I thought the Chinese were better than everyone else in the world at controlling the virus that came from somewhere else...
The reality is that China, the European Union, Russia and the US have been tinkering with viruses in secret military labs for a long time.
There are no clean hands.
China could easily end this with Ivermectin.
They are not stupid.
They want COVID to continue.
Didn’t they get the memo? Biden is in.
Bring out your dead.....
“Well, isn’t that special?”
And then they will either starve to death or resort to cannibalism to survive. “We’re from the government and we’re here to help you.”
The CCP reaps what they sow.
China is a powder keg.
In other news, their newly minted North American autonomous trade zone just opened for business.
F* ‘em, if true. Play with fire, get consumed by fire.

“China is a powder keg.”
With sparks all around.
