Looks like President Trump was right about China lying about Covid cases. According to leaked documents revealed by CNN, China grossly underreported the scale of the Covid outbreak in Mainland China.
The Wuhan files
Leaked documents reveal China’s mishandling of the early stages of Covid-19
Exclusive by Nick Paton Walsh, CNN

London — A group of frontline medical workers, likely exhausted, stand huddled together on a video-conference call as China’s most powerful man raises his hand in greeting. It is February 10 in Beijing and President Xi Jinping, who for weeks has been absent from public view, is addressing hospital staff in the city of Wuhan as they battle to contain the spread of a still officially unnamed novel coronavirus.From a secure room about 1,200 kilometers (745 miles) from the epicenter, Xi expressed his condolences to those who have died in the outbreak. He urged greater public communication, as around the world concerns mounted about the potential threat posed by the new disease.That same day, Chinese authorities reported 2,478 new confirmed cases — raising the total global number to more than 40,000, with fewer than 400 cases occurring outside of mainland China. Yet CNN can now reveal how official documents circulated internally show that this was only part of the picture.CNN’s key findings
In a report marked “internal document, please keep confidential,” local health authorities in the province of Hubei, where the virus was first detected, list a total of 5,918 newly detected cases on February 10, more than double the official public number of confirmed cases, breaking down the total into a variety of subcategories. This larger figure was never fully revealed at that time, as China’s accounting system seemed, in the tumult of the early weeks of the pandemic, to downplay the severity of the outbreak.

Meanwhile the Chinese Communist Party is desperately trying to distract attention from their catastrophic mismanagement of the Covid outbreak; their persecution of whistleblowers, callous disregard for other nations and authoritarian coverups.
Now they are trying to claim Australia is the source of the Wuhan Covid-19 outbreak.
China claims coronavirus may have started in AUSTRALIA and travelled to Wuhan’s wet market via frozen steak exports – and attacks US alliance with insulting new cartoon
- Beijing officials and media are pushing theory coronavirus did not start in China
- An article in state-controlled Global Times said it was imported on frozen food
- Article said countries including Australia exported food to Wuhan wet market
- Western scientists say the theory is ‘highly speculative’ and unlikely to be true

Beijing has claimed that coronavirus may have spawned outside China and travelled to a wet market in Wuhan via frozen food exports from countries including Australia.
An article in the government-controlled Global Times newspaper on Sunday said the idea the virus was imported into the Huanan wet market last year ‘cannot be ruled out’ – although it admitted there is no supporting evidence.
Beijing has been pushing the theory since October when experts tracing an outbreak in Qingdao city found living coronavirus samples on packets of imported frozen cod.
Western scientists say the theory is ‘highly speculative’ and believe it is much more likely that the disease first passed from animals to humans in the Wuhan area.

China’s increasingly absurd quest for someone else to blame, and ongoing failure to come clean on their internal Covid problems, demonstrates they have learned nothing and done nothing to address the flaws in their system of government which created this catastrophe.
This is not the first time the Chinese communist coverups of disease outbreaks have led to unnecessary deaths. In 2003 China confessed to covering up a major SARS outbreak. SARS is a close relative of Covid-19.
China confesses to SARS cover-up
April 21, 2003 — 10.00am
Beijing: The Chinese leadership has taken dramatic action to end a cover-up of the SARS epidemic by revealing 14 new deaths and hundreds of cases, sacking two senior officials and cancelling May Day holidays as the worldwide deathtoll climbed to 204.
The move followed international criticism of China’s handling of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).
It also came as Hong Kong announced seven new deaths from the disease.
Singapore, with 14 recorded SARS deaths, took the drastic step of ordering 2,400 people to quarantine themselves at home for 10 days because they might have come into contact with a SARS sufferer at a market.
In a statement on Sunday the Chinese health ministry said there were 346 confirmed cases and 402 suspected cases in Beijing alone, and that 18 people had died from SARS in the capital.
The number of cases in Beijing is nine times higher than the previous official figure of 44 cases and four deaths. The nationwide death toll from SARS has been raised to 79 with 1,814 confirmed cases of the illness.
Shortly after the statement state media reported that Health Minister Zhang Wenkang and Beijing mayor Meng Xuenong were removed from senior positions in the Communist Party, a formal step which will almost certainly see them fired from their government posts.

Why does this keep happening?
The fundamental problem, in my opinion, is Communists are no good at communicating bad news to the boss. From the Soviet Chernobyl disaster to SARS in 2003, and now to Covid-19, again and again we have seen an utter failure to act rationally, and decision paralysis in the face of unexpected events, until the problem is so severe it can no longer be concealed. With no free press to smooth the flow of information, it often takes way too long for seriously bad news to filter through to the real decision makers. When the information does get through, decision makers act in their own personal best interests, often with a callous disregard for the safety of other nations.
This structural Chinese Communist incompetence, with their endemic aversion to releasing bad news, even to their own superiors, and with their serial track record of concealing disease outbreaks instead of trying to contain them, in my opinion is an ongoing threat both to their own people and to the rest of the world.
Next time the ChiComs cover up a disease outbreak, and there will be a next time, the disease which finally emerges could be far worse than Covid-19 or SARS.
Would CNN be reporting this if they thought Trump had won the election?
Another CNN reporter recently decided that the behavior of Biden’s son Hunter was newsworthy after all.
CNN at a senior management level know that something is up and do not want to lose their company/jobs. I see the NYT has also started to wake up. I see the BBC is starting to wake up.
I heard the US Milt are going to make a public announcement concerning the origins of the manufactured virus covid, China involvement, and cover up this January.
Perhaps there might be a word or two about the US Milt’s investigation that is centered around the intel/evidence that was found on the CIA Frankfurt server.
I see the US Milt flew one of their planes to Toronto, Canada to talk to Dominion and Canadian officials about the US Milt’s investigation in to alleged direct CIA/Foreign interference into the US election…serious stuff. I heard the Frankfurt server captures in real time all of the technical coordination and timing of the US election fixes and has all of the correspondence to determine based on real time election data that was sent the server, to determine how much US election fixing is required and where to make the fixes and records of payment for services. I heard the Canada government and Dominion have agreed to cooperate 200%.
I believe the CIA Frankfurt server is now at the 305 Military Intelligence Battalion (The 305 Battalion is based at a US milt base, in Arizona)

Been to China several times and observed that they allow more economic freedom than the United States does. Example: Prescriptions not required for antibiotics sold at Walmart.
Political freedom over there is, of course, zero. If you cross the Chicom Deep State, their surveillance mobs will see it, and seriously bad people will come and get you. In the United States, Big Left is trying to move us in the same direction. Since the Bill of Rights is so protective of liberty, they’re using the combination of COVID hysteria, gubernatorial edicts, and corporate enforcement upon employees to achieve the same result — a nationwide “monothink” where nobody’s willing to challenge the Big Left consensus.
“a nationwide “monothink” where nobody’s willing to challenge the Big Left consensus.”
I’m seeing a lot of people who are pushing back against government edicts. I think the People have just about reached the end of their patience with two-faced government officials.
The problem is that we are two Americas now. Both have approximately equal populations though land area is much different. One America likes who we were and are, and the second America really hates what we were and are. And there is no easy divorce or separation.
“… Xi expressed his condolences to those who have died in the outbreak. ”
Huh?

100 years of science thrown out of the window and replaced with “China science”
There again the Chinese think CNN are a dodgy outfit after listening to the taped phone calls by, Project Veritas.

This is how it will play out-
This vaccine will magically work because no one is dying who wouldn’t be dying anyway. The vaccine doesn’t have to do anything, it will be just a re-adjustment of the data and hey presto everyone is back to dying of what ever they were dying of anyway with their 2-3 other serious diseases and wow the vaccine is working. The great news is, with the PCR test, we can expect a major pandemic every few years unless the lawyers win on exposing this charade. So expect more Wuhans during election years and anytime the governments think the population is getting uppity.
CNN and all of the other media companies are going to start acting like honest unbiased reporters. Companies are going to suddenly be on the US side, as there will be a side when the facts are released.
Companies and individuals who work for those companies who are caught interfering in a US election; face company ending sanction and fines; extradition to the US to face chargers; and face individual US banking sanctions (which every bank in the world recognize. People will be required to use cash for the rest of their lives if they are convinced) due to E.O. 13848 which has issued Sept 2018.
President Trump declared a National Emergency and issued E.O. 13848 on 12 Sep 2018 having jurisdiction on election fraud and the consequences thereof. Including prosecution for Felony and up to Treason, asset seizure and forfeiture, etc.
On 20 Sep 2018, he issued E.O. 13849, empowering the US Treasury and State Dept to impose sanctions on Banking, credit, assets, import, etc, including forfeiture, seizure, arrest, prosecution.

“CNN and all of the other media companies are going to start acting like honest unbiased reporters.”
No way! I’ve been listening to biased reporting from the Leftwing News Media since the Vietnam war. They are not going to stop now.
CNN does not have any unbiased reporters. All CNN reporters are really propagandists for the Left, and their approach to the Biden administration will certainly be different than with Trump, but you won’t get any more truth out of them under Biden. In fact, my bet is they will be running cover for Biden just like they do for all Democrats.
There are very few honest journalists and none of them belong to the major Leftwing News organizations.
Hoping for honestly from the Leftwing Media reminds me of Sean Hannity trying to shame leftwing reproters into reporting the news fairly. What Sean doesn’t understand is you can’t shame someone who feels no shame, and you can’t expect honesty from dishonest people.
From the article: “Meanwhile the Chinese Communist Party is desperately trying to distract attention from their catastrophic mismanagement of the Covid outbreak; their persecution of whistleblowers, callous disregard for other nations and authoritarian coverups.”
I hear the Chicoms are now forcing Chinese Muslims to eat pork. Just one of many outrages perpetrated on the Muslim Uighurs.
Not a peep of protest out of any Muslim country, or any Muslim terrorist group.
If President Macron of France did something like this, the whole Muslim world would be marching on Paris.
When wil the whole Muslim world march on Beijing? Or are you just a bunch of cowards? It doesn’t take much courage to stand up to Macron because Macron is not going to do you harm, and you know it, but the Chicoms are a different story, aren’t they. They will do you harm if you mess with them, and so the Muslim world remains silent in the face of atrocity because they are afraid of being harmed.
First they came for the Uighurs, but I wasn’t a Uighur, so I stayed silent. Then, they came for me.
No surprises there.
Similar to Drumpf deliberately downplaying the seriousness of the pandemic in the US. The only question is whether it was because of incompetence or he realized that it disproportionately affected latino and black votes.
I used to think he was merely an incompetent bullshttier (both true), but actually he’s probably more of a sociopath.
Fortunately terribly incompetent.
Like most of his supporters who blame their own failures in life on others.
Actually:
Black New Yorkers hospitalized with this virus are 40% less severe illness & 30% less likely to die from it thanWhites hospitalized with this virus. Internet searchers can find this statistic in multiple reports of nary 3 days ago.
That’s funny that you bring this up.
I saw three different reports yesterday about the subject of how Blacks and Hispanics were affected by the Wuhan virus.
One study claimed, that although Blacks and Hispanics were more likely to be infected, they were less likely than whites to die of the infection.
The other two reports claimed that Blacks and Hispancis were more likely to be infected and were more likely to die than white people.
So we have another face mask controversy brewing, it seems. One study says Blacks and Hispaniics are in less danger from Wuhan than whites and another says just the opposite.
Follow the science. If you can.
I’d say the discrepancy is that in hospitals, where blacks do better than whites, the individual is known to be severely ill with this virus. While for out of the hospital deaths, where blacks do worse than whites, the actual role of this virus is less known given the spectrum of co-morbidities related to the out of hospital deaths.
In other words: the out of hospital higher death rate of blacks than whites is because more of them are happening to die “with” this virus due to the statistical variation of co-morbidity ratios which these different races in the USA suffer from. On the other hand: the lower in hospital death rate of blacks than whites, even adjusted for economic status in the NY research, is because co-morbidities are somewhat clinically attenuated in the hospital ward &, once the patient is under acute care, this virus itself explicitly as data shows) poses less of a risk to blacks than whites
Linear attempts to promote racist explanations need to be considered in context. The USA media likes sensationalism about this – “if it bleeds it leads.”
I don’t listen/watch the MSM so I have no idea what they’re saying, but it seems to me that the increased mortality rate for Black/Hispanic populations is pretty well accepted and not particularly controversial in the medical community e.g.
https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/journal.pmed.1003402
Not especially clear why this is the case but obviously genetic differences plus increased prevalence of underlying risk factors (obesity, hypertension etc) seem like reasonable explanations.
It really is amazing how progressives actually seem to believe the lies they keep telling each other.
Trump got the most Republican votes among black and latino voters in many, many years.
And yet still received 7 million less votes. What a loser.
the conspiracies are strong here.
you cannot fight conspiracies. Apart from their conspiracies all else is just fake news.
I wonder how many here believe in moon landings?
Why are vaccines taking sooo long to be used – its very obvious really
As you know bill gates has inserted a chip imto each vaccine for mind control.
However as you also know chips require power.
SO
the lithium battery powering each chip requires conditioning (cycling power a few times) then recharging before injecting, attached to the microchip, with the vaccine.
This can be a length procedure, hence the approval delays in some countries.
This is also why the injections need repeating “for effective protection” – they need to replace the chip and battery which will have been drained.
Never trust scientists – fake!
You are either an idiot or a troll. In either case your posts are best ignored.
