I was very disappointed with this article. It simply repeats the same assumptions without research that are endlessly copied across western media. There were also a few factual errors also taken without question from western media such as that Li Wenliang 李文良 was punished. He wasn’t punished nor did he sound the alarm on Covid. Rather he spread a rumour that there was Sars, a far more deadly disease.

It’s indicative that while Li Wenliang is mentioned frequently in western media, Dr. Zhang Jixian isn’t. She was the one who immediately recognised the disease as something new, isolated cases, informed the authorities and much more to help her patients. It was her notifications to hospitals in the area, to be on the lookout for strange pneumonia cases, that Dr Li picked up.

A far more interesting article on the Communist Party was made by Shou’en Li, an editor and journalist in Beijing who tracked the path a party member has to take to rise to the top in, Quora “”How does the Communist party of China select and groom a person to be the next paramount leader?”

Yes, the communist party is always on the lookout for corruption, particularly amongst its own members. Like ending poverty, Xi Jinping is working to end corruption not just mouthing the words..
