Coronavirus 2019-2020 thread (no unsubstantiated rumours!)
- Thread starter localizer
- Start date
The time to counter protest for COVID ZERO has passed along time ago, they should have go out were this NED funded protestors were and show them a thing or two, in favor of the policy. Now you have hundred of millions who have recover or are in the process of recovering, how do you tell that they have to stay at home? again? after all this ordeal?

This is exactly the same fearmongering we saw in early 2020. However, even the Voice of America admits that the current situation is different from early 2020:
- The relatively mild nature of Omicron
- The high vaccination rate in China
- Chinese people's tendency for self-protection, such as wearing masks, avoiding crowd, and staying at home
And here is Yip's concluding remarks:
More information about Meplazumab, which is both anti-viral (against both Delta and Omicron variants) and anti-inflammatory.
Irregardless of what the reality on the ground is in China with Covid. China scores another zero when it comes to the PR. Why redefine Covid death's as only people that have died from pneumonia. And only report 8 deaths after 7 december. You must be out of your mind to believe that ONLY 8 people have died from Covid in the two weeks following the lifting of the restrictions. This is turning China into a laughing stock in the world and is opening the door for attacks against China on the international stage. It allows people with bad faith to spung whatever story they want about China's Covid situation and can make it stick to a certain degree. It does the government no good domestically either as it turns people more synical about everything the government says.
Ray Yip and Jin Dong-yan saying things people here definitely do not agree with, unlike in the VOA interview. If they were constantly being falsely quoted as some of you might assume, would they really continue agreeing to speak to Western media?
Tell that to a clear anti-China zealot like @in
And you freaking assume that even if the Chinese are doing what you think they should be doing (which is PR war, messaging) that somehow people who are anti-China are going to start thinking, you know what mate, what the see see Pee are saying is reasonable ain't it? And that somehow China can look decent in their eyes? What planet are You on dude. Has that shit you're suggesting ever worked in real life?
Do you think western politics work this way? That it's all about branding and the rest will follow like a bunch of sheep?
China can't and should not waste any precious time trying to massage outsiders perception, the government job is to ensure their people inside the country are protected, their lives are not wasted needlessly as what happened in the past.
India can get away with being slick in PR talking points as the case to their steadfast refusal in taking ownership of what many epidemiological experts, including the WHO that India lost 5 Million Indians to covid-19. The Indians are saying they only lost hundreds of thousands, despite the clear and convincing evidence of dead people literally floating in their rivers; dead people being buried on the streets of India, the cries for oxygen supply and many more. Despite that EMBARRASSING SETBACK India and the West have tagged the country's economic prospects in relative positive position. Would China have been given the same fictional narrative in the western media and government? You know the answer to this question already.
People focus too much on politicking rather than the meat of what matter most to the people on the ground living the reality of covid-19. Let the western world laugh (hilarious considering they lost so many people, recorde breaking deaths, vaccine with links to long term health issues) because that's all they can ever do. If we give in too much on how your enemies think then you're just wasting your time and valuable resources for no damn reason. As long as the Chinese people in China are being served well, then who gives a toss.
How are they being falsely quoted? You keep highlighting a doom and gloom scenario basically countermanding and contradicting what those experts have said, that at THE END OF THE DAY, THE DEATHS (YES THERE WILL BE DEATH BECAUSE THEY ARE UNAVOIDABLE) WILL NOT BE THE SAME IN SCOPE ANS SIZE AS EXPERIENCED IN YOUR STUPID COUNTRY WHERE YOU ARE A RESIDENT OF.
I do not even know what you're trying to push here.
Really funny how the two people this thread is praising for their insight turned out to repeat the same views that I expressed in this thread and was attacked for.
“We expected explosive outbreaks,” he said, “but this is much, much more devastating than the one in Hong Kong earlier this year.”
Why would he use the wording "much more devastating" then? Those are very heavy words. Keep in mind this article is much more recent than the VOA one. He may have revised his assessment.
My gramps also got it, so it shows 0 covid did work, very well even.
Just do the Tiananmen method, those people are not beneficial to ANY society.
