But most importantly:
This novel coronavirus could only become a #pandemic because the strict top-down rule of the #CCP in #China does not honor the person who points at a problem from below or rings an alarm but punishes that person instead.
In China, the messenger always gets shot. From whistleblowing doctor #LiWenliang to citizen journalist and blogger #ZhangZhan, those who challenged the party's narrative got punished.
Do not believe the #Covid19 numbers coming from China. #propaganda

Four years of #jail for citizen #journalist #ZhangZhan who dared to challenge the #CCP's monopoly on all #Covid19-related news. Any more questions regarding #China, its "win" against the #pandemic and #mediafreedom?
Oh, by the way and in related news, #Beijing has been put under the highest alert again. So much for that win over the pandemic. And yes, for media freedom in Xi's dark empire. Speaking of dark: Read about those power outages? No coal from #Australia, ey?
