[Epoch Times January 13, 2022]Hello friends, today is January 12 (Wednesday), welcome to “Foresight Quick Review“, I’m Tang Jingyuan.
rightXi JinpingFor example, the start of 2022 can be described as a blow to the head.In terms of national governance, the epidemic from Xi’an to Tianjin has affected the closure of the city that he personally directed and deployed.Clearing Policyposed the most serious challenge to date.especiallyTianjin EpidemicAfter the outbreak, the whole world, both at home and abroad, is watching himOmicronUnder the huge impact of , how long can this tactic of “starving to death is a small thing, clearing a big thing” can be persisted.
Politically, he is seen as a hardcore confidantLi ZhanshuThe sudden absence of the New Year’s tea party caused rumors to spread, which can also be said to have given him a sap.
【Li ZhanshuAppeared on the top of the top 4 rumors]
Fortunately, Li Zhanshu officially appeared yesterday (11th) when the rumors of “Slaying Ma Su with Tears” were all over the place, and this has stabilized at least temporarily.Xi JinpingIn the power framework at the highest level, today we will briefly talk about this news, which is also a follow-up to the previous discussion of Li Zhanshu’s absence.
Yesterday, the state media CCTV News reported that the Central Party School held the opening ceremony of the “Seminar on Learning and Implementing the Spirit of the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Party” for leading cadres at the provincial and ministerial levels that morning. The opening ceremony was of a high standard. All seven members of the Politburo Standing Committee, including Wang Qishan, were present, including Li Zhanshu, who had previously caused a lot of speculation due to his absence from the tea party.
Judging from the close-up shots given by CCTV, Li Zhanshu’s face was normal, his head was buried in writing, and there was no obvious abnormal performance.
From disappearing after December 28 last year to reappearing yesterday, Li Zhanshu was invisible for 13 days. During these 13 days, there have been many different versions of the rumors about Li Zhanshu’s accident, all of which have noses and eyes, including four versions of “betrayal”, “undercover”, “corruption” and “illness”. One of the most striking versions is the “betrayal theory”.
The source of this statement is unknown, but Zhang Gaoli is actually involved. The core content is that Zhang Gaoli was “hospitalized” after the Peng Shuai incident exploded. In order to protect himself, Zhang Gaoli took the initiative to expose Li Zhanshu, saying that he had been in secret contact with Jiang Zemin and Zeng Qinghong in recent years, completely keeping Xi Jinping in the dark.
When this inside story was reported to Xi Jinping, Xi Jinping was furious and decided to abolish Li Zhanshu, so he was absent from the New Year’s tea party, and Li Zhanshu would soon be unveiled with a fig leaf or two. The economic crimes were resolved, and he was disgraced and stepped down.
The second source of “undercover theory” is a signed commentary by Hong Kong’s “Ming Pao”, which listed rumors that Li Zhanshu was transferred to Xi’s side because his uncle Li Jiangjiang and Zeng Qinghong’s sister Zeng Haisheng had elementary school classmates. The gift of friendship. Li Zhanshu is actually the person Zeng Qinghong placed beside Xi, while Li Jiangjiang was recently investigated for an accident and so on.
The third kind of “corruption theory” was introduced in our previous program. Bi Ruxie, a New York writer, broke the news that Li Zhanshu’s corruption was caught by anti-Xi factions, and Xi Jinping was forced to tearfully kill Ma Su. Not to repeat.
As for the fourth “sickness theory”, in fact, there has been such speculation since the beginning of Li Zhanshu’s absence from the tea party, and the possibility cannot be ignored.
Because Li Zhanshu last appeared on December 28 last year, he appeared yesterday after missing the tea party and disappeared for 13 days. If he suffers from a sudden angina pectoris, he may indeed be absent from the tea party temporarily, but as long as this type of disease is treated in a timely manner, it generally does not take too long to alleviate and basically return to normal life. More than ten days was enough for him to have the energy to come out and sit in front of the camera without appearing ill.
[“Undercover said” is cold rice re-fried]
Let’s first look at the term “undercover”, that is, Li Zhanshu relied on his uncle to hook up with Zeng Qinghong’s sister, and then accepted Zeng Qinghong’s arrangement to lurk beside Xi Jinping. In fact, this statement cannot stand up to scrutiny, because this statement has not been circulated until now. As early as 2015, the Der Spiegel series of media, which was regarded as a big foreign propaganda, from Der Spiegel to its affiliated “Foreign Reference” magazine, etc. Concentrating on this inside story, now it’s just a cold rice stir-fry.
Dingjing also asserted at the time that Xi Jinping was about to purge the Central Office after learning about Li Zhanshu’s background, and Ding Xuexiang would replace Li Zhanshu. But in fact, Li Zhanshu not only remained in the office until 2017, but was also promoted to the Standing Committee of the Politburo at the time of the change of office. This can only mean that Li Zhanshu has always been trusted after passing Xi Jinping’s background check.
The “betrayal theory” is somewhat similar to the “undercover theory”, the difference is that it is rumored that Li Zhanshu only began to secretly contact Jiang Zeng and the two in recent years, and Zhang Gaoli exposed it.
There is also a problem with this statement. First of all, when we discussed the Peng Shuai incident, we pointed out that at Zhang Gaoli’s level, it’s impossible to overthrow a female athlete just because he played with him, and it’s even less likely that he would take Zeng Qinghong’s trump card because of Peng Shuai’s trouble. It was sold—the trouble that he asked Zeng Qinghong to help him intercede with Peng Shuai was far less than the trouble caused by selling Li Zhanshu to offend the entire Jiang faction.
What’s more, in recent years, Xi Jinping has been running wildly on the road of centralization, and his position of power can be described as flourishing. Even if he offended a large number of people with his seven injury punches, the historical resolution of the Sixth Plenary Session shows that he still has an unquestionable upper hand. Even if Li Zhanshu had no vision, he wouldn’t suddenly turn his face and become a hozen that everyone despised when the tree was not down, right?
On the other hand, if Li Zhanshu really committed Xi Jinping’s most hated “disloyalty to the party and dishonesty”, I think with his temper, Li Zhanshu may not be able to get rid of it in such a short period of ten days. Comeback through.
[LiZhanshuisinvisibleorrelatedtotheepidemic?】
Relatively speaking, the two terms “corruption theory” and “sickness” seem more reasonable. Li Zhanshu has corruption, and Zeng Qinghong once caught the handle. This is for sure. The doubt about the “corruption theory” lies in the rumor that Li Zhanshu’s daughter and son-in-law robbed other people’s minerals, and they do not have the power to bring down a member of the Standing Committee.
You must know that Hu Shuli brought out the entire Luneng worth 70 billion by Zeng Qinghong’s son, and still failed to move Zeng Qinghong’s father and son. Therefore, if Li Zhanshu is really targeted because of corruption, it must be something much more serious than the rumors.
Moreover, even if Xi Jinping is forced to make an anti-corruption statement against his hardcore confidants, he can still deal with it in a low-key manner within the party.
Therefore, from the current information synthesis, Li Zhanshu is more likely to have health problems. In the current emergency period, if Li Zhanshu suddenly developed a cough and fever, I think the people in the Standing Committee would be scared to death if not scared to death. They must be immediately quarantined and checked, and he will not be allowed to attend any public occasions. After almost an isolation period passed, Li Zhanshu was confirmed not to be infected by the CCP virus (Wuhan virus, new coronavirus), maybe just a common cold, so a normal comeback would be logical.
[Henan reports a major case of “man-made spread of the epidemic”]
Ok, next we are going to discuss the most explosive news in mainland China today. This is the news that the person in charge of the company responsible for nucleic acid testing in Zhengzhou was detained and investigated for allegedly spreading the virus. “Foresight Quick Review》
Just today, the Public Security Bureau of Xuchang City, Henan Province issued a police notification, claiming that after investigation by the public security organs, it was found that Zhang Moudong, the regional head of Zhengzhou Jinyu Clinical Testing Center Co., Ltd., violated the provisions of the Law on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases by implementing a new coronavirus infection. Pneumonia spread or behavior that poses a serious risk of spread. On January 10, the Yuzhou City Public Security Bureau filed a case against Zhang Moudong for suspected criminal offenses and took compulsory measures. The case is currently being further processed.
It is not difficult to imagine how intense the public’s response will be when such a news comes out when the epidemic in the mainland is raging, and the whole country is scrambling for the closure of the city.
This explosive news has two main points:
The first one, the accident unit is Zhengzhou Jinyu Clinical Laboratory Co., Ltd., which was established on December 20, 2017 and is the Zhengzhou branch of Guangzhou Jinyu Medical Laboratory Group Co., Ltd. Guangzhou Jinyu Medical is one of the first third-party institutions to participate in the nucleic acid testing of the new crown since the outbreak of the epidemic in Wuhan in 2019, and in 2020, it will become the single institution with the highest nucleic acid testing volume in the world.
Jinyu Medical was founded in 2003. Its predecessor was a school-run enterprise of Guangzhou Medical University, and Zhong Nanshan, who was famous at home and abroad for bringing goods, was the president and party secretary of the hospital at that time. Even now, Zhong Nanshan maintains a close relationship with Golden Mile Medical and serves as the chairman of the Golden Mile Medical Academic Committee.
Second, the Xuchang Public Security Bureau’s announcement was vague, and did not explain what kind of behavior Zhang had committed to spread the epidemic. And one of the most direct understandings, of course, is that Zhang is suspected of artificially poisoning.
We can see that in the mainland’s online public opinion, the anger at the suspected poisoning has almost reached the height of “can’t wait to tear it into thousands of pieces”. Anyone who has lived in the mainland may know that in the mainland under the rule of the CCP, the method of first throwing nails on the road, and then opening a tire repair shop on the side of the road to make money is completely the new normal. surprisingly.
But to say that the local director of a listed company with a market value of 40 billion, in order to make a few more rounds of testing profits, it is a bit too incredible.
Until I started the show, no one knew what Zhang did to cause the epidemic to spread. Mainland media “First Financial” quoted a staff member of the local government department as saying that the relevant personnel may have delayed the test.
Is it possible to be investigated for “suspicion of spreading the epidemic” just for delaying testing? This is going to make people feel a little weird, right? Procrastination can be malicious or caused by objective factors.
If the former, why did he maliciously delay? How does this benefit him? If it is the latter, people will be arrested due to delays due to irresistible factors such as human and material resources. We can only say that this is a society dominated by lunatics.
[Insider:Large-scalefraudinnucleicacidtesting?】
Information from other channels on the Internet shows that the real reason is likely to be large-scale fraudulent nucleic acid test results.
Just yesterday, some netizens reported on Weibo that they voluntarily did not undergo nucleic acid testing in accordance with the law, but were directly reported by Guangzhou Jinyu with a negative test result. Netizens suspected that the company was suspected of maliciously manipulating nucleic acid test results, misleading the epidemic prevention department and endangering public safety.
Just below the screenshot of this report, some people who have worked in Jinyu responded to the disclosure, saying that after some test samples were sent to Jinyu, they were thrown directly into the trash can, and then gave a “negative” result. When it’s over, in the end, the samples will be directly burned in the name of “contamination”, and the corpses will be destroyed, and no one will be able to verify them.
Why did the staff cheat so much? The only reasonable explanation is that the workload of nucleic acid testing for all staff is too large, and the government is facing the pressure of prevention and control of closed cities and districts, and the time is extremely tight.
In an extreme environment in which everyone only cares about “one size fits all”, some people are forced to take such measures to hide the truth. The company has completed the testing task, the government’s anti-epidemic has successfully completed the political task, and the testing staff’s bonus has completed the private income-generating task. . Three birds with one stone, everyone is very happy, why not do it.
Although this reported post is about Guangzhou Jinyu, but from the current information from all parties, this practice of falsifying nucleic acid results is obviously not an exception in Jinyu, and it is not new now, regardless of time or space. Most likely there is already considerable depth and breadth.
In my opinion, this operation is probably the most reasonable explanation so far for the reason why the person in charge of Zhengzhou Jinyu was arrested and investigated. The latest circumstantial evidence is that, according to Dahe Daily, Zhengzhou immediately stopped nucleic acid testing for all employees starting today.
You know, there have been cases of testing institutions suspected of falsifying test results in Beijing, Hebei and other places before.
For example, on January 17, 2021, a case was reported at a press conference on epidemic prevention and control in Xingtai City. Longyao County entrusted Jinan Huaxi Medical Laboratory Co., Ltd. to participate in the second round of nucleic acid testing due to its limited testing capacity, and tested more than 310,000 people. Only when the samples have not been tested and the test results are still unknown, Zhai Mou, the person in charge of the company’s collection point, lied to the county health and health bureau on January 14, saying that all the samples submitted for testing were negative.
[Publicopinionshocksthe”zeromode”andthe”Jinyucase”divertsattention?】
The major case of the spread of the epidemic in Zhengzhou Jinyu seems to be that some staff members have done illegal things, which may lead to the spread of the epidemic. But the root cause is that under the extreme pressure of the government, military orders are issued at every turn, and all tasks must be completed within the specified time, and the work pressure, treatment environment and other factors of the specific executors are not carefully considered. something happened.
What this case really exposed is that under the CCP’s zero-clearing mode, the most core prevention and control tool, nucleic acid detection for all employees, has had huge loopholes. If you rush the time, someone may be forced to fake it; if you don’t rush the time, it may be difficult to make timely decisions for accurate closure and control, thus making it difficult to prevent the spread of the epidemic.
This is what we have discussed over and over again, the extreme zeroing mode looks beautiful, but it is not sustainable in practice. At a particular point in time, it may be effective as an occasional measure. However, the CCP’s consistent and extreme approach in governance has quickly turned this extraordinary measure into a normalized standard measure, and it is still complacent at home and abroad without considering the huge burden on people’s livelihood. Certainly.
From another angle, there is something unusual about this case. Even though Zhengzhou Golden Mile Company broke out such a shocking major case and revealed the tip of the iceberg under the beautiful halo of nucleic acid testing of all employees, the official did not block public opinion at all.
As everyone has seen, not only the public security agencies made a high-profile report, but various mainland media also tried their best to dig up the inside story of the case and its relationship with Zhong Nanshan and his son.
Once upon a time, Zhong Nanshan existed as the political correctness standard of the CCP’s anti-epidemic model, and any voices questioning him would be blocked. Why did you enter the “hard” in the closed cityOmicronAt the most critical time, the government suddenly acquiesced to the questioning of Zhong Nanshan and the mining of negative news?
In my opinion, there seems to be an intention behind this to divert the focus of public opinion.During the recent period, Xi’an’s political achievements of “social clearing” were almost completely destroyed by two pregnant women.Tianjin EpidemicThe step-by-step warming has simply become a reminder of the Beijing Winter Olympics, and there is nowhere to hide.
At least 20 million people across the country are locked in their homes, either lacking medical care or eating less food. The mourning and scolding are one after another, all directly aimed at the government’s extreme city closure policy.
Xinhua News Agency’s official Weibo post mocked that the number of confirmed cases in the United States exceeded 60 million. As a result, the following reply was a rare big overturn, almost unanimously questioning the authorities’ diversion of attention and the intention of “surrounding the United States to save Zhao”. As a result, Xinhua News Agency was forced to delete all comments and shut down the comment function. .
I think my friends may have heard of this incident, and its impact on the authorities’ public opinion control should not be underestimated.
In this context, the outbreak of a major case like Zhengzhou Jinyu just rightly provided a reasonable and safe outlet for the public’s anger, and also subtly instilled a solid message to the public:
The overall situation of the government’s anti-epidemic situation has been destroyed by a very small number of capital forces with lust for profit. The creators of the misery of thousands of people trapped in their homes are none other than these very few scumbags. The government will definitely punish them severely. To uphold justice for the vast number of suffering people, let out this evil breath.
You see, in the changing situation, the authorities once again succeeded in “turning a crisis into an opportunity.” Seeing that a major event that had been concentrated on was about to be turned into a funeral, a report of a major case was equivalent to turning the funeral into a happy event. From a savage decision-maker to a patron saint of the people.
This trick has been repeated countless times. In future epidemic crises, they are guaranteed to continue to be used. If you don’t believe us, we should pay attention and continue to watch the show.
Okay, that’s all for today, thank you for watching and listening, see you next time.
