China’s national health authorities reported two Coronavirus deaths on Saturday, the first recorded rise in the death toll since January last year, as the country battles an omicron-driven surge.
The deaths, both in north-eastern Jilin province, bring the country’s coronavirus death toll to 4,638.
China reported 2,157 new community transmissions on Saturday, with the majority in Jilin. The province has instituted a travel ban, with people needing permission from police to travel across borders.
China has continued to impose a “zero-Covid” strategy since the initial outbreak in Wuhan. The strategy focuses on mass testing and strict lockdowns, with residents banned from leaving their homes until all new cases are either found in quarantine or through contact tracing.

One billion screaming citizens and they’re worrid about a handful of deaths?
That don’t make no sense at all.
I bet the death toll is much, much higher in that country than what was reported to INGSOC media outlets.
“Mount up, boys. Time to put the skeer on ‘em again.”
As in the West, Covid is a good excuse to further tighten the grip over their people. China is already a complete surveillance state. The West is pale in comparison. Covid would help maintain it.

Lengthy list...
Hong Kong is seeing a huge spike in deaths, thanks to only 1/3 of its elderly being vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine, whereas the rest are unvaccinated or vaccinated with the useless Sinovac shot that might as well be saline solution:

China has only seen the tip of the iceberg. Hong Kong deaths are now ~300 a day.

Hong Kong’s population is 7.4m vs the US’s 320m. That 300 a day number is the equivalent of 12,800 US deaths a day. In reality, the US death rate peaked at ~4,300 a day.

Xi Jinping has sowed the wind - the Chinese are about to reap the whirlwind.
Oh, no! Two out of a billion have died with “Omicron”!
O-my-CON!
Bingo!
ChiComs control their media and reporting on health stats.
Obviously over the last two years there have been deaths that can be attributed to Wuhan Flu.
They chose not to report them.
Now they decide to report some deaths etc...
Why?
Change the subject and garner “cooperation” with the U.S.
Everything is strategic with ChiComs.
The chicoms and coms are full of xit.
I DON”T BELIEVE ANYTHING COMING OUT OF CHICOM land. THEY never can be trusted.
