You Can Now Go to Jail in China for Criticizing Beijing’s Coronavirus Response…

Chinese authorities are cracking down on negative media coverage and social media commentary about the coronavirus outbreak, threatening anyone who breaches their rules with up to seven years in jail.

On Wednesday the government authorities issued an order for an article that looked at the possible negative impact of the outbreak on China’s economy to be scrubbed from the internet.

The article, published by state-owned weekly news magazine Sanlian Life Week, considered what might happen to the Chinese economy if the Word Health Organization declares the Wuhan coronavirus to be a “global health emergency.”

The alert, leaked to California-based monitoring group China Digital Times, is just the latest effort by Beijing to censor criticism of the outbreak.

Beijing is eager to avoid a repeat of what happened during its 2003 SARS crisis, when it was heavily criticized for its delayed reaction to the outbreak and its effort to hide its true scale.

Globally, its efforts seem to be working.

On Wednesday, the World Health Organization was effusive in its praise of the Chinese government’s response to the coronavirus outbreak, but inside the country, the government is working overtime to make sure any shortcomings in its response don’t come to light.

These efforts include arresting dozens of social media users who spread “false information without verification.” One of those arrested turned out to be a doctor on the front line of the fights to contain the virus, who shared information about the unknown illness with a private WeChat group. The doctor, who was forced to sign a document saying he would abide by the law, has since been infected with the coronavirus and remains in a critical condition.

This week, police in the port city of Tianjin detained a man for 10 days for “maliciously publishing aggressive, insulting speech against medical personnel” after he criticized the response to the outbreak in a WeChat group he shared with his friends.

China’s huge online censorship system, known as the Great Firewall, is also censoring any information the government deems to be “rumor.”

Examples of this include posts by families of infected people seeking help, by people living in quarantined cities documenting their daily life, and by those criticizing the government’s handling of the crisis.

In a bid to make sure people don’t even try and spread such “rumors” on Chinese social media, the government announced this week that anyone who tries to “disrupt social order” by posting on social media information from sources other than state-run media, will face between three and seven years in jail.

Critics of the government’s efforts to stifle online discussion and sharing of information say these actions threaten basic human rights.

“The coronavirus outbreak requires a swift and comprehensive response that respects human rights,” Yaqiu Wang, a China researcher with Human Rights Watch said in a statement. “Authorities should recognize that censorship only fuels public distrust, and instead encourage civil society engagement and media reporting on this public health crisis.”

In a bid to counteract any negative commentary about the government’s response to the outbreak, state-backed media outlets have been producing gushing reports about Beijing’s efforts to address the crisis.

These include numerous videos of the new hospital being built in Wuhan, all set to stirring background music.

These efforts also include sharing fake images of the new hospital.

The images, which actually show a modular apartment building more than 600 miles away in Qingdao, were posted by the verified Twitter accounts of the Global Times and the People’s Daily, both state-run publications, in an apparent bid to show the hospital construction as more advanced that it really was.ADVERTISEMENT

The image was also shared by the Twitter account of Lijian Zhao, the deputy director-general of the information department in the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

“It Is Very Striking How Quickly the Numbers Are Going up, and Trump Says Don’t Panic…

The more we learn about it, the greater the possibility that the transmission will not be able to be controlled with public health measures, say experts

China is trying to battle the Wuhan coronavirus that has sickened over 7,711 people and killed over 170. And the battle is not going to be an easy one, as the virus continues to remain mysterious.

This means experts are not sure what they are up against and whether current efforts are effective enough to contain the outbreak successfully.

In just one day, China reported 1,737 new infections. “It is very striking how quickly the numbers are going up,”  Trish Perl, chief of infectious diseases and geographic medicine at UT Southwestern Medical Center, who has fought other respiratory virus outbreaks, including SARS and MERS,  told Washington Post.

The Wuhan coronavirus has reached 19 places outside mainland China, with more than 100 confirmed cases and no deaths recorded until now. But six countries, including China, have confirmed human-to-human transmission of the infection. 

This trend has caused some panic.  “As the numbers are going up, do I think I’m concerned about the rapidity of it? Yes. Do I think it may be difficult to control? Yes. But in the context of a lot of unknowns,” Perl said.

Despite lockdown measures in China, experts are currently unsure what impact they will have. To make matters worse, more than 5 million Wuhan residents left the city before the lockdown, potentially carrying the virus with them.

Some scientists, who are studying the rate at which cases are rising in and emerging from China, fear the worst is yet to come. As time progresses, they suspect that countries might not succeed in containing the outbreak and that the flu might become more common as it spreads around the world.

“The more we learn about it, the greater the possibility that the transmission will not be able to be controlled with public health measures,” Dr Allison McGeer, a Toronto-based infectious disease specialist who contracted SARS in 2003 and who helped Saudi Arabia control several hospital-based outbreaks of MERS, told STAT.

If that is the case, she said, “We are living with a new human virus, and we are going to find out if it will spread around the globe.”

McGeer cautioned that because the true severity of the outbreak is not yet known, it is impossible to predict what the impact of that spread would be.

The Birth Pains Are Growing Stronger….

One of the signs of ruling class collapse is when they can no longer enforce the rules that maintain them as a ruling class. When the Romans started making exceptions to republican governance, it was a matter of time before someone simply decided the rules no longer applied to them. Perhaps the robot historians will consider Obama our Marius or Sulla. Maybe that person is in the near future. Either way, the rule of law is over and what comes next is the rule of men.

“Man will ultimately be governed by God or by tyrants.” as in Nancy Pelosi (D-San Fran-feces)

Our government has been overthrown. As evidenced by Trump’s capitulation on the border, his recent servitude to the GMO industry and his acquiescence to the warmongers, our President has been compromised. Our liberties are being eliminated one by one. Gun confiscation is next. The Constitution is gasping its last breaths. Our borders are destroyed and our culture has been turned upside down by every perversion known to man.

The watchman does not confuse truth with consensus. The Watchman does not confuse God’s word with the word of those who happen to hold power at present, or with the opinion of the majority. This is because powerholders and the majority can fall victim to a lying spirit-and this means a power that actually seizes the majority of experts, the political leadership, and the public.

Everything is right on schedule and, now, the time is come to remove one of the final obstacles standing in the way of a New World Order: The United States Constitution – even if, over the course of many decades, it has already been greatly diminished by the B.E.A.S.T. system; or, more specifically, Bullshit Emerging As Strategic Totalitarianism (B.E.A.S.T.).

They are tolerant of everything except dissenting values and opinions — meaning, of course, they are tolerant of nothing that matters, only themselves.”
