Still more reasons to distrust the Communist Chinese regime and looking for the truth in Hong Kong

 An organization that tries to bury so many truths

Nine days ago, I wrote about the Communist Chinese government having changed the way it counted Wuhan coronavirus cases to look like there was a fall in the infection rate.  One day afterwards, the authorities in Hubei province made their own changes (which actually caused the official tallies there to skyrocket).  

Now, just one week later, Mainland Chinese officials have decided to change their methodology for counting Wuhan coronaviruses one more time.  In doing so, they have not only muddied the data once more but demonstrated to the world yet again that they are not all that trustworthy, including with regards to helping making things safer for their own people, never mind the world at large.

Even while the numbers of people in Mainland China killed by the Wuhan coronavirus or even confirmed cases of infection are now in doubt, this much is clear: Earlier this month, Li Wenliang, a doctor who tried to sound the alarm about the new SARS-like virus, ended up succumbing to it (as well as the pressures of the authorities to stay silent for a time about it); and this week, two other doctors have also died after being infected by the Wuhan coronavirus.

Liu Zhiming was not only a medico but the director of the hospital at the epicenter of the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak.  A video clip showing his grieving wife, who is head nurse at the same medical institution, distraught as his body was being driven away from the hospital really hammers home how heartbreaking a tragedy this virus epidemic is.  And with Peng Yinghua, a "front line" doctor who was just 29 years old, succumbing also this week, it really goes to show that otherwise healthy younger folks as well as medical personnel are not exempt from falling victim to this deadly disease which I truly think there's good reason to be fearful of.    

Such is the distrust in official reports out of China that it's been suggested that the best information that people can and will get about the Wuhan coronavirus will come out of countries like Japan and Singapore, which are "incredibly transparent with reporting information about their clusters".  And while the Hong Kong government might previously also have been counted on to be trustworthy and transparent (and competent), that sadly is no longer the case, in no large part due to the Mainlandization that has assuredly occurred since Hong Kong's Handover to Communist China.

More than incidentally, those who think otherwise should realize that Hong Kong's dissatisfaction with Carrie Lam's government and Beijing have most definitely gone away.  How can they when these people continue to be so useless (in the case of the local administration) and inflammatory (with China Liason Office chief Luo Huining referring to Hong Kong "troublemakers" as "political virus")?

As a matter of fact, a series of protest took place today, the seven month anniversary of the (first) Yuen Long MTR attack.  And while there are Hong Kongers celebrating what they see as karma befalling some members of the local constabulary, I am taking particular satisfaction in the recent discovery by HK01 of the entire Yuen Long Nam Pin Wai village office building being an illegal structure (and the authorities consequently being legally bound to demolish a major structure in the very village that the Yuen Long MTR attackers retreated to back on that dark night of July 21st)!
