It's foreign lies that they are harvesting organs from prisoners. The CCP would never dream of driving third world countries into debt traps. The CCP spokespeople should be beatified for their contribution to transparency and honesty.

Are the CCP being totally honest and transperent with ther figures ?? Something fishy I think.

We'll never know the full story about the number of cases and deaths in China because the CCP have tight control on all of that information they only let us know what they want us to know. And if you don't believe that, or think it's conspiracy theory or racist to say so may I suggest that you look up their treatment of the Uyghurs Muslims and then come back here and tell us how racist we are.
The_Brood wrote: » Mate do you even read the article you are linking to? It is exactly right. China has endless human rights problems yet their success in stamping out Covid 19 is undisputed. No matter how much China gets rightfully criticized regarding other issues, they stamped out Covid 19 to a level that allows the majority of its citizens to continue life as normal. That is a fact. While Europe has failed and completely destroyed the lives of its citizens. There is a high price to pay for China's success - but success it most certainly is. The BBC article does not dispute that. While all of Europe's leaders have delivered is failure, cowardice, and misery.
The BBC's Kerry Allen and Zhaoyin Feng take a look back at the country's online government censors who worked harder than ever to supress negative information, the citizens that managed to break through the Great Firewall, and how the propaganda machine re-wrote the narrative.

That does not at all mean that A) they didn't have a mass scale lockdown early on B)that didn't stop a great deal of the virus spread C)the majority of people are not living lockdown-free lives today. Those 3 things are facts and are the total difference between defeating the virus and letting it completely ruin our lives.
