Hello, everyone, nice to see you.
From today on, I will be doing daily news updates, as well as analysis and maybe some commentaries on important issues and topics. As a result, I may not have time or only have little time left to share individual news pieces or videos on Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook like before, but I will try to pack them into my daily updates. So please subscribe to my YouTube channel to stay informed.
Now, let go through our daily news updates.
Watch video:
Funeral Homes to Set Up Workstations inside Beijing Hospitals
According to the Chinese Communist Party, the CCP’s internal documents, Beijing is now requiring hospitals and funeral homes to establish “direct” working relationships and connections. Funeral homes will set up workstations in the morgues in hospitals to provide 24/7 “smoothly connected services.” Staff from nearby funeral homes will be working inside the hospitals. Analysts say this could be a sign that Beijing is preparing for another outbreak of the CCP virus.
On April 17, hospitals were required to fill in a statistical form regarding the status of their morgues.
A meeting notification issued on April 20 by the Hospital Management Center in Beijing says that a video conference about how to “standardize the management of morgues in hospitals” would be held on the next day; and all personnel who are in charge of morgues need to attend.
Back on Feb. 8, Beijing Health Commission, Civil Affairs Bureau, and Public Security Bureau jointly issued a guideline regarding how to deal with bodies of CCP virus victims. The guideline stipulates that all bodies should be cremated at local funeral homes, and can not be buried, preserved, or transported to other places.
Recently, cluster infection cases have been found in Beijing. On April 20, Chaoyang District in Beijing was ranked as a “high risk” area by the authorities.
US to Investigate Whether China, WHO Hid Info on CCP Virus Pandemic
Now let’s move to the US. President Trump has asked intelligence agencies to find out whether China and the World Health Organization, WHO, hid information on the CCP virus pandemic.
According to NBC News, the White House has ordered intelligence agencies to comb through communications intercepts, human source reporting, satellite imagery and other data to find out whether China and WHO hid information about the emerging coronavirus pandemic.
Five Eyes Intelligence Agencies Investigate Two Chinese Virologists Shi Zhengli and Zhou Peng
According to Daily Mail and 7 News in Australia, intelligence agencies from the ‘Five Eyes’ network-comprising [kəmˈpraɪz] Australia, the US, Canada, UK and New Zealand-are examining the work of two staffers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China. Who are these two staffers? They are Shi Zhengli and Zhou Peng.
Many people may have already known who Shi Zhengli is. She is a senior researcher and known as ‘bat woman’ by her colleagues because she has been to bat caves to search, collect and study bats when she tried to find out the origin of SARS.
But who is Zhou Peng?
Let’s watch a Chinese official TV news report in 2018 to find out. I have shared this video in February with English subtitles added:
Watch video:
So the person who gave a telephone interview in the video we just watched, and whose photo is shown on the screen is Zhou Peng. He is also a senior researcher at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. In that TV report, he explained their research to the reporter.
Zhou Peng said in the video that they had isolated the virus and had produced antibodies and vaccines to deal with the spread of the virus.
That piece of news was broadcast by China Central TV on Apr 5, 2018, as an achievement of the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
According to Daily Mail, both Shi Zhengli and Zhou Peng had spent time doing research at the Australian Animal Health Laboratory. Zhou Peng was the head of Wuhan’s Bat Virus Infection and Immunity Project, and this project was funded jointly by Australia and Chinese governments.
Shi Zhengli: “I Had not Slept a Wink for Days.”
In an interview with Scientific American, published on Apr. 27, Shi Zhengli said that when she first heard about the coronavirus outbreak back in last December, she had thought: “Could they have come from our lab?”
She said her team later tested patients’ samples repeatedly and she frantically went through her own lab’s records from the past few years to check for any mishandling of experimental [ɪkˌsperəˈmentl ] materials, especially during disposal.
She said she then breathed a sigh of relief when the results came back: none of the sequences matched those of the viruses her team had sampled from bat caves. she says, “That really took a load off my mind. I had not slept a wink for days.”
Shi Zhengli: “I Guarantee with My Life.”
Back in early February, when faced with mounting pressure regarding the origin of the CCP virus, Shi Zhengli said in her WeChat post that, “I, Shi Zhengli, can guarantee with my life that the novel coronavirus 2019 ( 2019-nCoV) has nothing to do at all with the lab.”
When I first heard her “guaranteeing” the virus with her life, I had a strange feeling that unless you 100% own something, or understand something, how can you guarantee this thing?
For example, if I own a car, I can guarantee that I can lend you my car; or I can guarantee that my car is safe to drive, or I can guarantee it was produced in Japan, etc, because this car belongs to me and I understand everything about it.
So how could Shi Zhengli “guarantee” a virus if she doesn’t own it, or understand everything about it? That was my question then.
If what Shi Zhengli said to Scientific American is true, that is, if she was very sure that the virus didn’t come from her lab or her team, there are still other labs in China, and one of them is only hundreds of meters away from the South China Seafood Market in Wuhan, which was originally claimed to be the origin of CCP virus. How can Shi Zhengli guarantee those other labs? For me, this is still a question.
Other questions to ask are: If Shi Zhengli is 100% sure that the virus didn’t come from her lab, would she willingly turn over all the records and data to international investigation teams? Would the CCP allow international investigation teams to go into China to do investigations at all?
【Videos of the Day】Fires at Multiple Places in China: A “Stop-loss” Strategy?
Now, let’s check some of the latest videos from China.
Yesterday, on April 28, videos of fire at a big shopping mall called “Zhejiang Trading City” were circulated on Chinese social media. Zhejiang Trading City is in front of the Railway Station of Hefei City, Anhui Province.
If this is only an individual and isolated accident, there is nothing really to talk about. However, recently, a lot of similar “accidents” have happened in many places.
For example, this one was also on Apr. 28, at Xiuwen Town in Meishan City in Sichuan Province.
This one happened on April 26, at the Industrial Zone at Yongkong City in Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province.
This one (https://twitter.com/naochashu/status/1252828505210929152 ) was on Apr. 22, at a shoe factory in Tongchangdian Village, Xinle City, Shangjiazhuang, Hebei Province.
This one was on Apr. 21, at a chemical factory at Lianyungang City in Jiangsu Province. Explosions burst out three times there.
People say the reason behind all these fires might be that because businesses or factories are forced to reopen, and reopening the businesses is a political task. But there are no or enough orders to keep the businesses or factories going, so some business or factory owners purposely set fire on their buildings to have an excuse to stop operating. In financial circles, this is called a “stop-loss”, or an exit strategy.
Let me show you a video that I shared in February:
This video shows a factory manager in Wenzhou City, Zhejiang province letting all the machines run without producing anything. Why did he do that?
Because the authorities use electricity consumption as a criterion to measure whether a factory has reopened or not. And this factory owner was told that he had to consume 3000 kWh electricity by midnight to show that his factory was operating. So he chose to switch on all the air conditioners and machines to ensure that he used up that much electricity.
This video shows a man smashing the machines, also in an attempt to create an excuse to not to operate anymore, as factories, especially factories producing export products, are not receiving orders when the entire world is hit hard by the CCP virus.
Ridiculous, right? But that is the reality of China under the CCP’s ruling. There is a famous saying in China, that is, in Chinese “上有政策，下有對策”, which means, “You can make your policies at the top, but we have our countermeasures at the bottom.” In a country where people don’t have a say, they can only choose all sorts of “countermeasures” to deal with unreasonable policies and orders from the above.
Okay, that’s all for today. I hope you like our new format of daily updates. If you have special topics or issues that you want me to talk about, please leave comments underneath this video, or write to me via my website at jenniferzengblog.com.
