If there’s one thing we know for certain about the Wuhan plague, it’s that China has lied and continues to lie through its teeth.

Did the virus arise as a random zoonosis in a filthy live animal market, did it escape from a lab or was it deliberately engineered and released? We’ll probably never know the answer to these equally-plausible questions because China has lied from the very beginning, destroyed evidence, covered up the truth and punished truth-speakers. China is also vehemently resisting any international investigation and is bullying nations like Australia for backing one.

And China is quite obviously still lying.

Chinese authorities are testing millions of people, imposing lockdowns and shutting down schools after multiple locally transmitted coronavirus cases were discovered in three cities across the country.

Remember: China – not to mention its lickspittles in the West – has boasted of “eliminating” the virus. As other countries grapple with spiralling infections, Chinese state propaganda has touted the communist nation’s supposed return to complete normality.

But then, we’ve heard other leaders boast of eliminating the virus, only to see it repeatedly cropping back up.

As temperatures drop, widescale measures are being enacted in Tianjin, Shanghai and Manzhouli, even though the number of new cases remains low compared to some other countries that are seeing new waves of infections.

On Monday, the National Health Commission reported two new locally transmitted cases in Shanghai over the previous 24 hours, bringing the total to seven since Friday. China has recorded 86,442 cases overall and 4,634 deaths since the virus was first detected in the central Chinese city of Wuhan late last year.

“Recorded” – which means, those are just the ones they’re telling us about. Does anyone really believe official Chinese data?

And why the sudden panic, now?

On Sunday night, [Shanghai’s] Pudong International airport decided to test its workers, collecting 17,719 samples through to the early hours of Monday morning. Plans call for testing others in surrounding communities if further cases are detected.

Videos on social media purportedly from workers showed what appeared to be chaotic scenes at the airport as they were given last-minute orders to get tested. In the videos, people are seen standing in large groups pushing back and forth against officials in hazmat suits[…]

In Tianjin, health workers have collected more than 2.2 million samples for testing from residents in the Binhai new district, after five locally transmitted cases were discovered there last week.

In Manzhouli, a city of more than 200,000 people, local health authorities are testing all residents after two cases were reported on Saturday. They also shut down all schools and public venues and banned public gatherings such as banquets.

Despite all this, China continues to pump out its lying propaganda.

China’s approach to controlling the pandemic has been criticised for being draconian. It locked down the city of Wuhan, where cases were first reported, for more than two months to contain the virus, with the local government shutting down all traffic and confining residents to their homes. Domestically, however, China has called its strategy “clear to zero” and has boasted of its success.

“In the entire world, only China has the ability to get to zero[…]Zeng Guang, the chief epidemiologist at the Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, said in a webinar hosted by Chinese media in September.

Clearly not, if these latest outbreaks are to be taken at even face value.

But China is setting the template for authoritarian left-wing governments around the world and clearing the ground for the globalists’ “Great Reset”.
