So American rumors are automatically conspiracies and Chinese rumors are automatically bread crumb trails leading to the truth behind COVID origins?

It's a matter of credibility. The US government has repeatedly lied to it's people about the seriousness of covid, fabricated claims of genocide and forced labor in Xinjiang, described the riots in HK as peaceful protests and called the largely peaceful protesters on Capitol Hill rioters, and repeatedly pushed the Wuhan lab origin conspiracy theory.

The Chinese government, in contrast, has been proven to be correct with Covid, HK, and Xinjiang.This gives their claims far more credibility.

Flight from Russia into Nanjing brought Covid. Cleaners at Nanjing Airport infected. Areas around Nanjing Airport identified as hot spots. Woman living vicinity of Nanjing Airport intentionally used sister's green code to travel by bus to Yangzhou (her code was yellow). She didn't want to be locked down. Travelled by bus to Yangzhou. Played Majiang at many places in Yangzhou, primary source of spread. Most people infected are over 60. Testing for everyone in the city roughly ever 3 days. Allowed to leave compounds once in a 3 day period. Typhoid Mary sentenced to 7 years in prison (need to confirm).

The National Center for Infectious Diseases is a new institution

So the wikipedia article hasn't been updated.
"Zhang Wenhong being the director of National Center for Infectious Diseases" may be a miss-understanding or miss-presentation by the first link you provided.

There are TWO hospitals being identified as part of the center as the government decree in your second link. One is in Shanghai where Zhang Wenhong is the head of its infectious department. The other is in Beijing. Both hospitals are equal. I have not found any official document that appointed a single person as the head of the center. I highly doubt there is such position. IMO the center is NOT an administrative body with authorities, but rather just two hospitals given specialized tasks. The tasks are assigned to the hospital, neither to a specific department, nor to a specific person.

The following link is appendix 1 of the order which tells that "infectious department" is only one of the three core departments.

Here is a link in June 2021 from the Beijing hospital about a meeting between the two hospitals where head and deputy head of hospitals attended.

Your first link was published in April. It called Zhang Wenhong the head. But in the link above Zhang was not presented as such.

I am inclined to believe the official report by the hospital than anything else.

Hope the prison sentence is true, people need to be held accountable.

She is certainly NOT sentenced to 7 years (yet).

Think about it. She was discovered on 27th of July when visiting the hospital. How fast could a 7 year prison terms be delivered within less than a month when the person was still in hospital isolation?

Of course everybody hate such behavior, but what is making-up rumor being of any purpose?

Lmao "dying of hunger" from a Yale "economist". I'm glad they didn't name him because he'd be out of a job if they knew who he was.

Does he have any information on average/median calorie intake in China to make that statement? Nutritional distribution? Hunger index?
