Lives and Stability in China

-- Wei Jingsheng

The recent outbreak of the Wuhan coronavirus poses a great threat to lives. It is not only a deadly infectious disease, but it also spreads extremely fast and has multiple ways of transmission. Even more frightening is that it also has the characteristics of covert transmission, which can be transmitted during the incubation period without showing any illness. You don't know who is contagious, and you don't know whether it is effective to use traditional methods to deal with infectious diseases. This is the root cause of its global panic.

Xi Jinping recently admitted that they knew the danger of the infectious disease early on. But in order to maintain the stability of their rule, announcements were delayed for several weeks without warning. They even sent fake messages saying that it would not be transmitted directly between humans, it was easy to control the spread of the epidemic, and so on. It can be said that this consciously created a large-scale outbreak and caused a disaster to countless people.

Many people now begin to realize the nature of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and their trust in the CCP has dropped to an extremely low level. The CCP's conduct during this outbreak shows that it doesn't care about the lives of ordinary people, but only about its rule in China. Even in the past there have been many cases of the CCP's own remarks that show the essence of the CCP lack of care about the life and death of ordinary people, such as the theory that "let all the Chinese East of Xi'an die (if there was a nuclear war with the USA)", and so on.

However, many people were severely brainwashed by the CCP and failed to pay attention. They thought the sayings were just to scare the foreigners, and even clapped their hands in applause. This time the CCP's conduct threatens everyone's life, and many people have begun to wake up and realize the nature of the CCP inhumanity.

The CCP has always boasted about how stable, effective and great its authoritarian regime is. Even this time with so many people dying, and the deaths are still growing, the CCP 's propaganda is still touting how wise its Central Committee is, and how it effectively controlled the epidemic situation, and so on. Despite the fact that the epidemic is still underway and rapidly developing without a clear picture, the CCP has ordered the factories to open and restart, and the crowds will continue to gather thus strengthening the infection. The point can be seen that the CCP still does not take the lives of ordinary Chinese as the top priority, still only thinking about maintaining stability, and only considering to keep the regime in the hands of its few leaders.

From the evidence obtained by scientists from various countries, including evidence provided by many experts in China, to the least the CCP knows the nature of the virus more than everyone else. This information should be made public in order to prevent the situation from expanding and to be beneficial for the treatment of patients. This is the correct way to control the spread of the epidemic.

However, the CCP was guilty of theft, fearing that its conduct in engineering biological warfare would be exposed. Not only did the CCP dare not to disclose information, the CCP also prevented the international community from investigating, but only selectively allowed the so-called World Health Organization personnel to enter China for investigation. The CCP continues to cover up the epidemic situation resulting in the expansion of the epidemic. The actions of continuing its criminal acts are very obvious.

However, this time is different from the past. Stability measures that rely on various violences and fooling the people definitely will not work, because it has threatened the lives of all people, and it has caused everyone to lose trust in the CCP regime. Basically, no one could be fooled except fools. Many people are not afraid anymore and condemn the CCP in the self-made social media. When people are not afraid of death anymore, why would they be afraid of being threatened with death? As the outbreak of anger transforms along the time, there may be not be only verbal violence, but also other forms of actions with more violence.

Therefore, the CCP 's stabilization measures this time are precisely creating instability. It can be said that it is pouring oil on the fire, lest the world be chaotic. There have been many infectious illnesses in history that caused the collapse of regimes, the most important of reason being the improper handling of the authorities. This time, Xi Jinping's dealing has proved to be very improper. Concealing information from the beginning to now has not only increased the difficulty of preventing and controlling the epidemic, as well as the treatment, but also ignited the anger of the Chinese people.

Is there any way to solve it? At the very least, it is necessary to publish the correct information and cooperate with the international community to accelerate the speed of prevention, control and treatment of this illness, and strive to achieve the effect of curbing the epidemic as soon as possible. Cooperation with the international community can at least increase the trust of the Chinese people.

It is not enough to just punish some low-level officials. At least the highest authorities must take responsibility and step down with acknowledgement to the world. If this is not enough, the one-party dictatorship of the CCP must step down peacefully, and changes be made in the land of China in response to common people's anger. Otherwise, even greater disasters will fall on all Communist members.

生命与维稳

-- 魏京生

最近爆发的武汉肺炎，对生命构成了极大的威胁。这不仅仅是致命的传染病，而且传播极快，并拥有多种传播方式。更可怕的是它还具有隐蔽传播的特点，在不发病的潜伏期就可以传染。你不知道什么人具有传染性，用传统对付传染病的方法不知道是否有效。这才是它造成全球恐慌的根本原因。

最近习近平承认，他们很早就知道这次传染病的危险。但是为了维护他们统治的稳定，却拖延几周时间不发出警告。甚至还发送假消息，说不会人传人，很容易控制疫情传播，等等。可以说这是有意识地制造了大规模爆发，给成千上万的人民制造了灾难。

现在很多人开始认识到中共的本质了，对中共的信任度降到了极低。这次疫情爆发，中共的表现就是不在乎老百姓的性命，只在乎他们的统治。过去也有很多事例和中共自己的言论，说明中共的本质就不在乎老百姓的死活，例如“西安以东都死光"论，等等。

但很多老百姓被中共洗脑严重，没有引起注意。他们以为那不过是吓唬外国人而已，甚至还拍手叫好呢。这次中共的表现威胁到了每一个人的生命，很多人才开始幡然醒悟，认清了中共没有人性的本质。

中共一贯吹嘘其独裁专制是如何地稳定，如何地有效率，如何地英明伟大。而这次死了这么多人，而且还在继续增长死亡，中共的宣传仍然在高调吹捧党中央如何英明，如何有效控制了疫情，如何如何，等等等等。甚至不顾疫情仍在，情况不明地快速发展的现况，下令工厂开工，继续让人群聚集加强传染。即此可以看出他们仍然没把老百姓的生命当作重中之重，仍然仅仅想到维稳，仅仅考虑政权是否在他们一小撮手上。

从各国科学家们获得的证据来看，包括国内很多专家提供的证据，都说明中共至少比大家都清楚病毒的性质。那么就应该公开信息，以利于防止事态扩大，以利于对患者进行治疗。这才是控制疫情继续扩大的正确办法。

但中共做贼心虚，生怕制造生物战武器的行为暴露。不仅不敢公开信息，中共还阻止国际社会调查，只是有选择地准许他们认为可以控制嘴巴的，所谓世界卫生组织的人员进入中国调查。中共继续掩盖疫情，继续制造疫情扩大，继续罪恶行为的动作十分明显。

但是，这次和已往情况不同。靠各种暴力加忽悠的维稳措施，肯定无效。因为这已经威胁到所有人的生命，已经让所有人丧失了对中共政权的信任。基本上除了傻瓜，不会有人再被忽悠了。很多人也不怕死了，在自媒体上愤怒声讨。民不畏死，奈何以死惧之，愤怒的爆发随着时间的推移，可能不仅仅只是语言暴力，还会包括其它更暴力的形式。

所以中共这次的维稳措施，恰恰是在制造不稳定。可以说是在火上浇油，唯恐天下不乱。历史上有过很多次瘟疫造成政权崩溃，最重要的就是当局处置不当。这次习近平的处置已经证明十分不当。从一开始到现在都在隐瞒信息，不仅增加了防控疫情和治疗的困难，而且在为人民的愤怒煽风点火。

有什么方法解决呢？至少要公布正确的信息，并且和国际社会合作，加快防控和治疗的速度，争取尽快达到遏止疫情的效果。和国际社会合作至少可以增加人民的信任。

仅仅惩罚一些低级官员还远远不够，至少要最高当局承担责任，下台以谢天下。如果还不够，就要共产党的一党专政和平下台，改天换地以平民愤。否则，更大的灾难会降临到所有共产党人的身上。
