Beijing closes Wuhan's Borders to Contain Escalating WARS Threat; Yet Mainlanders in HK Still Confident in Government Policies

The pneumonia epidemic in Wuhan is getting increasingly severe, and the number of confirmed cases in Beijing is also picking up, causing dire public concern. On Saturday (January 25), the Beijing Municipal Transportation Department confirmed that as a preventive measure, all inter-provincial land transportation in Beijing will be shut down from Sunday (January 26), with recovery time undecided.

The Cultural Tourism Bureau has confirmed that starting from next Monday (January 27), all tour groups, including outbound groups, will be suspended.

Source from the Municipal Culture and Tourism Bureau also confirmed that mainland tours to Beijing have already been stopped on January 24. Starting January 27, not only the mainland, but all outbound tour groups, air tickets, hotels and other services from Beijing will also be suspended. Refund and other issued would be followed-up and resolved by travel agencies in accordance with the contract and related laws.

Amidst an increase in confirmed cases and death tolls in China in past few days, mainlanders who came to Hong Kong for New Year holiday continued to show great confidence in the Government, believing that they will put the WARS outbreak under control. Many of them visiting the two theme parks in Hong Kong did not even bother to wear face masks. A tourist from Dongguan said, “the government has put in place policies. What is there to worry about?”

Citizen Journalist Zhang Zhan Jailed over Covid-19 Report, Weighing Less Than 40kg on Hunger Strike
Her Family: She may not live long

China citizen journalist Zhang Zhan was sentenced to four years in prison for "picking quarrels and provoking trouble" after exposing the epidemic in Wuhan last year. She has been on a hunger strike in prison, and her health is deteriorating.

Her brother, Zhang Ju, recently posted on Twitter that his sister appears to be terminally ill and is worried that she will not be able to survive the winter. The British Embassy in China urges the Chinese authorities to release Zhang Zhan and other detained journalists immediately.

In a series of posts on Twitter on Saturday and Sunday, Zhang Ju revealed his sister Zhang Zhan's latest condition and posted her old photos. "I don't think she can live much longer," he said, adding that Zhang is 177cm tall but weighs less than 40kg now, "if she doesn't make it through the coming cold winter, I hope the world will remember her".

Editor note: "picking quarrels and provoking trouble" is a charge routinely used to suppress dissent, levelling against citizen journalists, human rights lawyers and activists.

Furious Chinese Netizens over City Lockdown posts National Anthem "Rise Up" to Protest, and are Promptly Blocked on Weibo

With the widespread of #Omicron in Shanghai, the Chinese government is responding with a tougher stain on the lockdown of the city, leading to public discontent and resistance.

Many Chinese netizens used the first line of the national anthem, "Rise up! Those refuse to be slaves", as a hashtag and posted it on #Weibo to express their anger. This was blocked by Weibo later on, which is ridiculously tantamount to making the national anthem a forbidden word.

It was found later, after searching on Weibo, that the national anthem is still searchable, but the search results would be blanked if the keyword is a hashtag of the national anthem.

This is not the first time China has banned its national anthem. Back in the early days of the #COVID19 outbreak in #Wuhan, when 'whistle blower' Dr. Li Wenliang died, Douban.com banned the lyrics of the same song for "containing radical current affairs or ideology".
