On November 23rd a fire broke out in Urumqi’s Jixiang Yuan district in an apartment complex. Because of the Chinese COVID lockdown, it is claimed the doors to the building were locked from the outside; people could not escape. Jennifer Zeng has been documenting the story on Twitter.
Fire trucks were not permitted to get close enough to the building and the people locked inside could not escape.
Chinese media initially said 10 people were killed; however, it was widely believed the death toll exceeds that number with a 3-year-old included. The current death toll stands at 44 victims.
This horrific event seems to have become the inflection point for a large uprising against the Chinese Communist Party and the continual COVID lockdown rules.
(MSM) “Now the episode in Urumqi, the capital of the Xinjiang region, has unleashed the most defiant eruption of public anger against the ruling Communist Party in years. In cities across China this weekend, thousands gathered with candles and flowers to mourn the fire’s victims. On campuses, students staged vigils, many holding up pieces of blank white paper in mute protest. In Shanghai, some residents even called for the Communist Party and its leader, Xi Jinping, to step down, a rare and bold challenge.”
For the past several days mass protests have been spreading throughout the populous region. Things are getting very spicy as the communist government does not accept civil disturbances as a right of protest.
SHANGHAI (AP) — Protesters angered by strict anti-virus measures called for China’s powerful leader to resign, an unprecedented rebuke as authorities in at least eight cities struggled to suppress demonstrations Sunday that represent a rare direct challenge to the ruling Communist Party.
Police using pepper spray drove away demonstrators in Shanghai who called for Xi Jinping to step down and an end to one-party rule, but hours later people rallied again in the same spot. Police again broke up the demonstration, and a reporter saw protesters under arrest being driven away in a bus.
The protests — which began Friday and have spread to cities including the capital, Beijing, and dozens of university campuses — are the most widespread show of opposition to the ruling party in decades.
In a video of the protest in Shanghai verified by The Associated Press, chants against Xi, the most powerful leader since at least the 1980s, and the Chinese Communist Party sounded loud and clear: “Xi Jinping! Step down! CCP! Step down!” (read more)
The CCP is also cracking down on western journalists who are reporting on the protests.
On Nov 23, when a fire broke out in #Urumqi , people’s doors were locked from outside. Fire truck couldn’t get closer either( see my previous tweet). The latest figure says 44 were burnt to death, including a 3 y/o kid. That’s one of the reasons for today’s protests. pic.twitter.com/s4E0JHk4wQ

But according to Klaus Schwab, China is the model for the word! I don’t watch any news other than RAV so I’m wondering if any of the corporatist media have covered this at all? They sure did back with Tianamon Square. Those times are past I’m guessing.
The usual 🦗🦗🦗🦗
I propose we try China’s system out on Klaus & his minions 1st. They can virtue signal their agreement about 2 years in.
The WEF has an office in Beijing.
It is my hope and prayer that the good people of Switzerland will give old Klaus the heave-ho and send him “home” to Beijing.
I saw in the “South China Morning Post” this morning an article about foreign citizens working in China, forming a group to help promote and bring foreign workers . . . a photo of about eight people gathered in a hotel lounge having a discussion . . . odd photo really, with no one milling around in the background in what should be a busy place . . . and it seems like a pretty paltry group.

I propose that we give him and his cohorts the real vaccine that has hurt so many. No saline solution for them. Then just sit back and watch.
Sorry, no harsh enough but we could certainly add that to their sentence…

Interesting that US corporate media covers this and not the anti-government protests all over Europe due to rising fuel and food costs. I will have to wait a least a few days to see if any of this is real.
————-
It is head spinning/baffling that the West focuses on the “possibility that the Chinese people might overthrow their government” due to discontent with government policies… when this happens in the West, the elites ignore the discontent and the Deep State and corporate media go into full psy-op mode and conduct phony elections… this is how Biden and the Democrats stay in power.
So, why do Soros and the Western elites think that the Chinese government is incapable of doing the same thing? All China needs to do is duplicate the techniques (mail in ballots followed by weeks of counting) the western elites use to stay in power and Xi can remain in power for decades. (lol)
“Interesting that US corporate media covers this and not the anti-government protests all over Europe due to rising fuel and food costs”
They are doing the same with Brazil? i.e. no coverage of the massive & ongoing demonstrations.
just finished a 35 day strike in the largest province of NARCO STATE –BOLIVIA.
protest based on thr government not establishing firm dates for new census.
old census 12 years old and does not reflect massive movement of anti gov. indians to the cities. go figure………………………………
WHO Praises China’s Draconian Measures, Balks At Labeling Outbreak A Pandemic Even As Cases Spike GloballyJanuary 2020

You can feel it. Elections do not reflect the will of the people. From Arizona to Brazil to China, people are becoming ungovernable.
We the people, not we the government!
Including Australia’s state of Victoria where one of the CCP’s favourite son’s Dan Andrews has UNBELIEVABLY won re-election (with a 5% swing against the labor party)still doubling the vote of his main rivals the liberal/national party coalition.Yes that’s right handsomely rewarded for his Covid driven thuggish destruction of Victorian’s freedom’s and livelihoods,all seemingly forgiven and forgotten…………….
He must be WEF student and has infiltrated and they need him there for the reset. Seems that way around the world.
I don’t even live Down Under and I view Andrew’s huge ears as handles to aid the introduction of his face to my knee.
I swear that guy was trying to get himself knocked off with his vicious gaslighting tyranny.
Hate the sight of him.
Time has a way of revealing things. I suspect the CCP was never really after control per say. They have supported whoever they thought would destabilize Western Govts. This next statement is a complete reversal of the first: I believe they indeed wanted Trump to win in 2020. Ditto for Russia. I also believe it was for the right reasons. Now that hope is dashed so its back to destabilization.
The Chinese knew the Neocons and Neomarxists would make the transition to the New Multipolar World hell. If this unholy alliance ever secures their undisputed power on the world its truly game over. That includes all cultures, all religions, and an all out assault on Free Will.
We are in a war of the ages. It’s the same old story: Good vs Evil; Light vs Dark, Right vs Wrong. I know there’s much nuance in it. May I leave you a quote from a meme I saw today? It really simplifies things in my mind.
“The Left does not have double standards. If it’s good for the revolution, it’s good. If it’s bad for the revolution, it’s bad. That’s a single standard, and it’s pretty easy to understand.”
here n Bolivia the fraud of choice is using outdated census numbers and not calling new census program
“The consent of the governed” This in the long run is vital. When the ruling class in the world are frauds eventually tyrant meets lamppost.
President Trump disrupted their Agenda21/30 aka the Rio Accords 1992 and this reads like a How Too and population reduction/eugenics.
Though they still have their apple-cart (bureaucracy, MSM, Entertainment, Sports, Education etc.) and it hasn’t completely flipped over yet, but it is in flames and ready to tip.
We know, they know, the world knows that their governments are installed frauds. What happens next in my opinion will be biblical in proportion.
Bird feeding time is coming…you commie filth ready for karma? No?
Too bad, so sad…
Ps….NO MERCY
What caught my eye in watching some of the protests shown on Rumble is that the police who are present in large numbers just stood off to the side watching. In one photo of a smallish protest, the police outnumbered the protesters two-to-one but still just stood quietly to the side.
If police had orders to break it up they would. Xi seems not to be too worried at this point. Wonder why he’s hands off regarding how to handle the protesters.

They will maintain a “hands off” approach until they are certain they have total control of media coverage. THEN it will be a massacre.
…and identified the less known rebels.
But all it takes is the one or two renegade smartphones
Maybe it could be that Xi’s intel forces have already recorded the protesters faces and will wait.
The protestors will he disappearing one by one in the middle of the night.
Sunrei, thanks for that observation.
Maybe Xi has a reason to let the protests continue?
As so much stuff the United States needs is made in China, Xi can fairly easily hobble the US economy by interrupting shipments.
——–
1] Due to the protests Apple stock just fell off a cliff and they are worried iPhones won’t be shipped.
2] This happened just after / simultaneously with the Biden Admin banning Hauwei products in the United States / West.
3] And as these Apple protests are 100% organic (BLM style) it isn’t isn’t Xi’s fault and can’t be seen as retaliation at the WTO.
If these protests spread to other popular or critical US needed products, there may be a reason why the police are off to the side watching? (lol)
Shipping US jobs to China was not in the interest of US workers and now the Western elites are discovering it was not in their interest either, as Perot, Buchannan etal. warned them. (lol)
And Trump.
don’t the chinese have axes and bolt cutters? how can they allow themselves to be locked in. did any of them jump out a window this cannot be true of humans. chickens, maybe
If it’s anything like what the CCP did in the beginning of the pandemic, the CCP will have welded them in
hack saw blades, short supply or illegal in China?
Rope is quite useful in such circumstances.
In a fire? you want to criticize the Chinese people for not remembering to stock up on hacksaw blades and bolt cutters?
This is what happens when a communist govt has a tight grip on the peoples lives! They have given up everything, the govt controls their lives completely
Let that be a lesson to us.
Why were they locked in a high rise chimney in the first place? Why was the fire department not allowed to put out the fire? Is the Chinese Government trying to kill their people? Is our Government trying to kill us? Did the Communists in the USSR try to kill as many of their people as possible?
You guys…LOL 😉
Because of cameras everywhere and social credit system I guess.
Which is
herecoming very soon. “Smart Cities” t/o the U.S. are being put into place as I type.Just-like-China.
Obama’s Smart Grid.
Communism sure is grand.
Communism sure is grand.
Ain’t it?
Like all authoritarians the CCP will destroy itself.
There is no chance whatever that a country with 1.8 billion people can eliminate covid by any means including lockdown + “vaccination” (sic).
The virus will eventually mutate itself to being essentially harmless just like the 1918 killer Spanish Flu did.
My financial marker for the invasion of Taiwan is continuous unrest /even revolution. Huge profit potential for clear thinkers.
“Spanish Flu” are we still allowed to call it that?
I though the Though Police said we could not use Chinese Flu, Wuflu, or Monkey flu in case it upset the snowflakes.
If you need to comply with the wishes of the Thought Police, my condolences.
Wait, I got it now. No people alive means no COVID👌
1.4 billion, in China, and also in India.
And, actually, it was bacterial, believe it ir not. Not a virus, “flu”
You’ll get over being wrong.
“The 1918 influenza pandemic was the most severe pandemic in recent history. It was caused by an H1N1 virus with genes of avian origin.”
https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-resources/1918-commemoration/1918-pandemic-history.htm
I never tire of a quick resourced retort!:)
My pleasure.
Actually, what caused so many deaths was not the virus per se, but those infected with the virus who fought it off had immunes systems do weakened that almost any bug killed them–which it did.
It seems not.
“People were struck with illness on the street and died rapid deaths. One anectode shared of 1918 was of four women playing bridge together late into the night. Overnight, three of the women died from influenza (Hoagg). Others told stories of people on their way to work suddenly developing the flu and dying within hours (Henig).”
No “almost any bugs” there.
https://virus.stanford.edu/uda/
They were killed off due to weakened immune systems caused by something meant to help them; the common aspirin.
Aspirins, meant to fight pain, were developed in the late 1800s. When the 1918 flu hit the government made sure troops had plenty of the new wonder drug to help them fight off the bug.
What they did not know then, and many people don’t know now, is that aspirins interfere with the bodies ability to absorb vitamin C.
So young men went off to fight and if they were sick were given aspirins to feel better. Aspirins stopped their bodies from absorbing a vitamin that, if they had it, may have saved their lives.
You must believe the cdc.gov. Whatever they say is the Truth when no one ever heard of the CDC in 1918.
Most likely started in China, brought to Europe near the end of WW1 by Chinese laborers brought in by the Allied powers to work in the supply depots in western France.
The Chinese citizens are fully aware at this point that “Zero Covid” has nothing to do with why their government is locking them in their hutches, starving them, bludgeoning their pets to death, and spraying their cities with an unknown gas.
We have friends who were born in China and came to the U.S. to be professors. They are both Christians, so they needed to get out of China for many reasons.
They now have two beautiful children, something they would not have been allowed to have if they remained in China.
Last week we spent time with their oldest child, our adopted granddaughter (while both sets of grandparents remain locked in China), and it was really sad to see she was the only person with a mask always hanging off one ear — if not covering her face.
We didn’t say anything to her at the time, but will be talking to her parents, since apparently they bought into the dangers spoken of by the CCP.
XI will not back down.
This has the hallmark signature of our illustrious CIA. I’m not saying its them, I have no proof. This simply me witnessing what they did in the Ukraine, Middle East Everywhere, and USA 2020.
The globalists are using China as their role model. This protest is quite surprising to the powers that be, because they have gotten away with every atrocity. No CIA involvement here, except for a failure of the plan. The cowards. Scumbags.
How dre they do this to anyone?
@lindak ….I wouldn’t be so sure. It must be noted how badly TPTB want China to fail. Sure Klaus likes their system but don’ read too much into that. Look to The Ukraine and see how our government is behaving. They need either China and/or Russia to fall. Whatever you think about these two countries understand our govt considers them an existential threat to US hegemony. The Propaganda Paper Tiger will never stop pumping out lies and deception. They mix the truth in as well so its wise to always be skeptical.
Good points Luke. Still, there are more of us than them. If China were free, how would it help their plan? If people have freedom, anything is possible, God help us please.
You are correct. The CCP has gotten away with every atrocity. Welding families into apartments and cutting off food and electricity. Locking up millions in high rises in Shanghai. Taking their pets and beating the pets to death when anyone dared to step outside for a minute.
It is exactly what they plan for the US.
Xi can’t back down. Even a scintilla of weakness will be his undoing. The parlors of Beijing are watching.
Go China!
I don’t trust the AP on protest news. Might be a color revolution in progress.
I agree.
My sympathy is with the Chinese people who desire life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
My concern is with the globalist forces who wish use the Chinese people as a tool to advance their agenda.
Someone powerful wants Xi gone. Notice the emphasis in all of these Western reports on demanding Xi resign.
Yes sir…….when you see/read these things look behind the curtain always. Not trying to be a contrarian but I no longer have a choice.
I wouldn’t trust the AP if they said the Sun would rise from the East tomorrow morning.
If I lived in a highrise building, especially in lock-down fanatical Chyna – would have invested in a SkySaver for every family member; this article is from 7 years ago:
https://nocamels.com/2015/08/skysaver-rescue-fire-buildings/
If I lived in China, I would be part of the river community that lives on boats and fishes for their livelihood. These people even avoided the abortion mandates.
Fellow subjects and subjects to be, the time may soon come when, even in America, any freedom left will have outlived its usefulness.
Marx, either Groucho or Karl, I cant remember which, maybe it was both or maybe it was Harpo, once said that freedom is the opiate of the people. I say that if freedom in America outlives its usefulness and is completely abolished by Democrats, then opium will be the opiate of the people.
Ahh, that’s not a bad idea as we will need that badly especially when all the booze runs out when the supply chain breaks down completely. .
I think it was Karl baby who said that “religion is the opiate of the masses”
You are correct. That is what Karl Marx said. But I went in a different direction.
Well Karl was born a Jew, denounced his religion, let several of his children starve to death, drove a son-in-law to suicide. His parents would have nothing to do with him.
If we lose our “freedom” I will relish in the fact that my opiate of choice is Christ.
‘If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.’ John 8:36
Bread and Circuses….
The wealthier a people get … the less they will tolerate fascist totalitarian control. They might even start demanding environmental regulations and workplace safety orders.
That is not the case in the US.
In the west the evidence suggests that sufficiently comfortable people will tolerate pretty much anything.
So long as the consequences of their policies and candidates do not affect them. As we see here, vanity is the grotesque sin of the elites, that and idiocy (sloth). It is used by the demonic to gain support for their nihilism. As long as we are worrying about racism and climate change we are not noticing the destruction of humanity.
Communism was the boogeyman now it’s the savior. Talk to one of these liberal goofs and ask them.
No thanks.
Only because it is called ‘Socialism’. Many 60-70 year old boomers think socialism mean free programs because they paid for everything with their taxes and now it’s free.
Well, my husband and I are in the middle of that group and I can definitely say we know no one our age that thinks that way.
We have, however, seen and heard many younger people who live and breathe socialism.
After one of the President Trump rallies in Duluth, Minnesota (a socialist hellhole full of socialists), I was walking back to my car and passed a dirty, disheveled man sitting on the curb holding a sign that read, “Socialism.” After seeing socialism up-close and personal in 1984 when we visited the U.S.S.R., I shook my head ‘no’ and said, “Believe me, you do not want socialism.”
Doofus shook his head ‘yes’ and said, “Yes, I do.”
I would have loved to send him to a socialist country for a year or two, so he and his high ideals could see the light.
This might be more about planting seeds to sell another Covid pandemic than about a revolt in China. They released some bizarre videos last time too.
I miss the old days, when America would express its support for free speech, and against tyrannical governments. Today, we send sons of politicians to sell influence, and American corporations use slave labor to make obscene profits while censoring the truth.
A few decades back the western establishment began to worship the dollar instead of God or the ideals they claimed to uphold. Meaning if there was a choice between dollars or ideals, the dollars won. This is a lot more pervasive and insidious than most people recognize, or will admit to themselves. Almost all of us are guilty to some degree or another.
Why isn’t Apple Corporation suffering any repercussions here in the United States – why should anyone buy any of their obviously over-priced slave-labor produced merchandise?
You see what is going on at the Foxconn plant in the PRC where they are making IPhones and shouldn’t that inspire people to not want ANY Apple products?
Cognitive dissonance.
Slave labor can be ignored because Apple has a rainbow logo, everyone who has one is cool and hip, and everyone who talks mean about China is a xenophobe.
Best answer ever.
Especially since Apple has taken the lead to threaten Musk about allowing free speech on Twitter. They pulled all their advertising and tweets off Twitter and they have threatened to take Twitter out of the App store if Musk doesn’t comply with their wishes about what’s to be allowed on the platform. That alone is worth ditching all Apple products.
I have always used MacBooks and need a new computer. Does anyone have any good suggestions about an alternative to Apple?
I am hoping that Musk will follow through on his claim to produce a phone. I do believe that a phone that does NOT require slaves would be a worldwide hit. Can the modern world produce technology that is NOT steeped in the diabolical?
“Can the modern world produce technology that is NOT steeped in the diabolical?”
Can they/we? Yes.
Will they/we? Sadly, probably not.
This should probably shame Americans more than what’s happening in Brazil.
For contrast, South Korea has always had a lively protest culture. Down to a science.
But the Chinese have had generations of Communist domination. They had to be pushed to extremes to end up with this unrest.
I was thinking the same.
Hopefully, China revolts from the CCP and then executes some former tyrants and mass murderers.
Perhaps a little something to think about for CCP agents in the US guilty of major crimes.
New York City has a Chinese Police Force as well as Sharia Police.
Christmas in Romania, 1989.
Ah, yes, a dirty courtyard.
Those were the days.
Get the pots and pans ready.
We’re just a 2nd amendment right away from these poor souls.
“Fire trucks were not permitted to get close enough to the building and the people locked inside could not escape.”
All of the dummies in this world that have faith in any system of gov’t where only one opinion is acceptable or permitted by that gov’t should ponder the insanity of the Chi Coms “acceptable” COVID rules. In this case, it has led to horrific deaths.
The USA became the best and strongest country in the world in large part because diverse opinions and free speech are a Constitutional right. And whenever a politician or other depraved blowhard in America tried to squash free speech, Americans eventually rose up and ended the folly.
Unfortunately, speech censorship is increasing in the USA despite the efforts of many Americans to fight it. The Constitution is a priceless and brilliant document but it requires political and legal power behind it to enact or honor its Articles and Amendments.
Sleazebags like Zuckerberg and many others across the USA are presently allowed to ignore the Constitution and censor Americans (and ignore election laws) at will thanks to a corrupt Dem gov’t that benefits from and participates in this censorship.
It has the political power and the willingness to ignore the Constitution as many of their egregious policies indicate. This path will not end well. But the USA isn’t China yet.
…”the people locked inside could not escape.”…
Where is the outrage from the architectural community?

Never stop hoping.
Its a big cabal and we aint in it.
China and other nations colluded with corrupt elements within the US to oust our President and manipulate election outcomes going forward by manufacturing a fake virus/pandemic outbreak.
These protests aren’t western sponsored at all.
https://t.me/DonbassDevushka/34112
For the past several days mass protests have been spreading throughout the populous region. Things are getting very spicy as the communist government does not accept civil disturbances as a right of protest.
SD, hate to correct you, but did you mean to say U.S. (“communist” ) government?
Ping Xi Pong is not stupid, he is trapped! Let another virus get out and see what happens?
Think, if another virus were to come out of China say ‘Beijing Virus’ and it caused the world to lockdown again, what we see in China now would would be 100 times worse, 1 billion starving out of control Chinese done with the CCP. And the CCP’s dreams of world control gone for another 1000 years.
Those unintended consequences may be striking China.
People see this. Maybe Xi will go for Taiwan? The old look over here and never mind the man behind the curtain.
I just read a quote from a Chinese citizen and it made my heart hurt:
“Everyone thinks that Chinese people are afraid to come out and protest, that they don’t have any courage,” said the protester, adding it was his first time demonstrating. “Actually in my heart, I also thought this way. But then when I went there, I found that the environment was such that everyone was very brave.”
We know they have courage. It’s just so impossible for them to express themselves or exert influence without putting their lives at risk. The ones who are protesting are very brave.
Maybe the Chinese people can save us, along with Iran. We seem to be asleep at the wheel. Wakey, wakey, eggs and bacy. Are we all puffed up and proud of our heritage but now letting the tyrants and petty thieves steal our elections? No more mail in ballots. Same day vote on paper , voter i.d., and tabulation machines only.
The Arizona election officials are certifying, ignoring the Attoeney General’s request for explanation of disenfranchisement of the voters! They say, we are paper tigers!
The CCP is well aware of how governments fall. They fall when the Mandate of Heaven is violated. These deaths are on the government in the most grievous way.
Everyone in the world must rise up and destroy dictatorships – here, there, every where ! Destroy Evil Now – DEN
I do not believe anything that comes out of China. I also do not believe anything media tells me about China.
Having said that, this morning flightradar24 showed 50 flights originating from Beijing as having been cancelled in an 8 hour period. Throughout the day, I have checked other Chinese airports for cancelled arrivals and departures and the number in some places is every other flight. Perhaps this is the norm for cancelled flights in China, but I don’t think so.
Go to your favorite flight website and pretend to book a flight to Beijing. Observe results.
Something is going on in China, and it ain’t “Covid-19.” It’s a gigantic power struggle within the Chinese Communist Party. (These people created and sustained the Khmer Rouge, lest we forget.)
It has me wondering what happened to the guy that was escorted out of the (whatever they called it) conference where Xi was “re-elected” in Oct. He was in Xi’s inner circle up to that point. Wonder if he was leading the opposition to Xi, such as it is, in the Party?
Hu Jintao.
It’s the middle of the night there currently, so most of what I see live is cargo traffic, but it does seem quieter in Chinese airspace, same/same, than SE Asia and Japan. Interesting, thanks.
according to south china morning post, (hongkong), china does not have the capacity in its healthcare system to care for a surge of corona cases,(they have fewer hospital beds per population than USA, for example) plus china does not have enough of their own vaccines, and refuses to import foreign vaccines, and that is why china is pushing zero covid lockdowns. so they are in a crisis without a solution, because the people are protesting the lockdowns.
the question is whether the covid fears are just a ruse to justify ruthless lockdown and control of the population, to enforce Xi’s political control, or whether the lack of healthcare capacity and lack of vaccine availability is the reason for the zero covid lockdowns

maybe this is a better link
“according to south china morning post, (hongkong), china does not have the capacity in its healthcare system to care for a surge of corona cases,(they have fewer hospital beds per population than USA, for example) plus china does not have enough of their own vaccines, and refuses to import foreign vaccines, and that is why china is pushing zero covid lockdowns. so they are in a crisis without a solution, because the people are protesting the lockdowns.”
Sorry but I don’t believe this SCMP story.
First of all, numerous sources indicate that China now has between 5 and 7 beds per 1000 people. This source (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_hospital_beds) indicates it had 4.34/1000 beds as of 2017 … before Covid. Contrary to the above quoted statement, it indicates the US only has about 2.9/1000 beds … less than China.
Second, China’s initial response to the Covid pandemic was to BUILD hospitals … like the TWO they built in Wuhan. The first they built in under 2 weeks and it had a 1000 beds. The second opened its doors 5 days later with another 1500 beds. Sixteen other makeshift hospitals were set up in the city. The US couldn’t even negotiate a contract for such facilities in 2 weeks.
Third, it’s false to say China does not have enough of their own vaccines. As of July 2022, about 90% of the country’s population has received a two dose vaccine and about 56% have had an additional booster dose. That’s better than in the US. As for refusing to import foreign vaccines, maybe they know something we don’t? Because their people are not being given mRNA concoctions. They are being given REAL vaccines that they produced.
And maybe China is pushing zero covid lockdowns because they know something about the virus that we aren’t being told. That might explain why our government continues to push for masks, threaten new lockdowns, is forcing our children to be vaccinated and continuing propaganda efforts to get the rest of the public vaccinated … even though that’s clearly an unpopular move right now, even amongst democRATS. And since supporters of the current administration worked with the Chinese to modify the Covid virus, it’s now out the question that they both know some terrible secret about it.
“the question is whether the covid fears are just a ruse to justify ruthless lockdown and control of the population, to enforce Xi’s political control, or whether the lack of healthcare capacity and lack of vaccine availability is the reason for the zero covid lockdowns”
No, for the reasons I noted above, lack of healthcare capacity and lack of vaccines is not the problem. And I don’t see it as a ruse to justify lockdowns and control the population because a ruse wasn’t needed. Pre-Covid, the Chinese population was controlled and compliant anyway. Like I’ve said several times here (mostly to sound of crickets), I do not understand why China is now engaging in actions, vis a vis Covid, that are literally threatening it’s economy and it’s stability. They must have a very good reason and Occam’s razor suggests to me they know something about the virus that isn’t being made public. Have you seen the pictures of the healthcare workers in moon suits? What are they so afraid of?
I have also wondered if they are so overboard with their response because they know something we don’t know.
I had also wondered if the cases they are seeing today are the original virus or if they have had variants evolve inside China.
I thought I had heard or read they didn’t go the mRNA route, but I wonder how effective their vaccine is.
“I thought I had heard or read they didn’t go the mRNA route, but I wonder how effective their vaccine is.”
No, they didn’t go the mRNA route, even though they easily could have. Recently they’ve been saying they’ll be coming out with one but it’s been delayed and delayed and delayed. As for effectiveness, how effective is ours when Biden, the head of the CDC (Dr. Rochelle Walensky) and numerous other officials who they claim are fully vaccinated with every booster imaginable, have contracted the virus over and over?
And consider all the evidence now that the mRNA *vaccines* (because they are not vaccines under the definition we used pre-Covid-19) are causing all sorts of serious complications. Numerous peer reviewed scientific papers are being published in respected journals now … like Nature. For example, read this one: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-31401-5#Tab2). That study even concluded that the more mRNA doses given, the higher the chance of developing those complications. And other studies around the world are reaching the same conclusion. The evidence is so strong that the pro-vaccine authorities (CDC, NHS, etc) have tried to prevent the public (and researchers) from seeing the data or discussing the issue (on social media, for example). They are clearly afraid that we are going to find out something, while they continue to push the mRNA vaccines on even small children, the least vulnerable group of all.
Thank you for the thoughtful response! But per your conclusion, if all you say is correct , then chinas lockdowns do not make any sense
I agree that the lockdowns make no sense … UNLESS there is something about the virus that terrifies the Chinese leadership. Say, for example, they knew that lab made Covid-19 would eventually significantly weaken the human immune system, or cause serious heart problems, or result in sterility. They’d have reason not to want their population to contract it. And by the way, ALL of those are identified complications of the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines which cause the production of COVID-19 spike proteins in ones body and which it’s now admitted (after initially being denied) alters ones DNA. So this would also perhaps explain why the Chinese have refused the West’s mRNA vaccines.
Haven’t they been locking down entire cities the whole time? These included the major port cities and that was the initial reason for the “supply chain problems”
I no longer take ANYTHING in the western media, regarding China, at face value. So, let’s do a bit of a dive here. First, who is Jennifer Zheng? She is a Falun Gong member living in NY. Falun Gong is notorious for writing anything and everything they can that is negative about China. So, I question her story, particularly as I wonder how these ‘photos’ got to her, or to western media. The West is now turning its attention to China, so one would expect that western media, just as they did with Russia, will highlight anything negative (whether true or false) about their issues. And here is a hint: in China, there is no such thing as ‘CCP’. Information that actually comes out of China will indicate ‘CPC’, as the official terms is ‘Communist Party of China’. Question EVERYTHING you read about CCP, as it ONLY comes from western sources. If we are going to analyze the information we get from western sources, whether in regard to Russia, Ukraine, Covid, economy, etc., we also need to properly analyze whatever information we get for China. My issue here is not whether the story is true or not. But just as I would question any Chinese information publicized by The Epoch Times (Falun Gong), I will also question Jennifer Zeng. I suspect that it was her tweet that was picked up by MSM sources, by the way, and would therefore look for some corroborating evidence.
By the way, for those who have bought into the western information about China’s ‘social credit system’, I suggest you take a moment to watch this video from The New Atlas: https://youtu.be/gAYnZREu-Mk. He is based in Thailand, and gives a much more accurate idea of what is going on there, than you will get with western propaganda.
Hello? Mr. Trump??? Now is the time to take a principled stance. We know the puppet will not, and you can point out why. Time for all good men to speak.
Take note Washington DC! If people who have been enslaved for 70 years will rebel, you might want to think twice before you try something similar in this country. We won’t accept another phony lockdown.
Sadly, they Chinese protesters will get no support whatsoever from Western governments who, for some reason, are trying to implement communism in their own countries right now. American politicians have already openly expressed how they have admired the way the Chinese government has handled covid. And, of course, the America corporate news media agrees with them because they are all traitors.
I am 1000% on the side of the protesters but I don’t see this ending well at all. If it keeps up, expect the Army to come in and start killing millions.
I sure hope I’m wrong.
Hitler, Stalin , Mao. We can go back further in history, back to the beginning of recorded history, for similar. Sad, but that’s what humans have always done and continue to do and I fully expect the behavior to remain until the human race is extinguished.
Have we seen any trend in our lives to indicate a lessening of the carnage? IDK, I’ve been around since Eisenhower and not much to report on that front. I’d hoped it wouldn’t come to this but that’s how life goes sometimes. Sad.
Retribution and justice is coming for all these “governments” and their usurers. There will be Justice but there will be no mercy for them in its remittance. The wrath of the Lord will reveal itself unto them and they will avail themselves unto His mercy only to be cast down.
