Coronavirus Why We Cannot Trust China
Health Vision|April - May 2020
In less than three months, coronavirus has spread to more than 200 countries around the world, in addition to China. India is also not untouched by this. According to Hong Kong medical expert Prof. Gabriel Leung, if the spread of coronavirus is not checked, 60% of the world’s population could be infected and up to 45 million people may die. Has not the initial negligence, incessant concealment and under-reporting by China on this subject put the world’s people in danger?

Coronavirus Why We Cannot Trust China

Let us go to the bottom of this matter and analyse. Over the past 70 years, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has subjected its country to one man-made tragedy after another, such as the Great Famine, Cultural Movement, Tiananmen Square massacre, persecution of Falun Gong, human rights abuses in Tibet, Xinjiang and Hong Kong, etc. The CCP’s response to natural disasters or pandemics also has always been full of deceit and lies.

Chinese Communist Party’s history of deceit and lies:

In 1976, scientists had predicted the possibility of a major earthquake in the Tangshan area which was suppressed due to political reasons. When a terrible earthquake measuring 7.8 scales struck in Tangshan, 2,40,000 people died. During the 2003 SARS outbreak and the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, the Chinese regime was accused of concealing and misleading information on a large scale.

The biggest cover-up of the Chinese Communist Party has been related to the persecution of Falun Gong. Due to its health benefits and spiritual teachings, Falun Gong became so popular in China that by 1999 around 70 million people started practicing it, which was more than the membership of CCP, which was 60 million at that time. Despite the peaceful nature of Falun Gong, Jiang Zemin considered it a threat to his sovereignty and banned it on July 1999,20, and triggered brutal persecution which continues to this day.

Has China suppressed the number of Coronavirus cases?
