China Uses Coronavirus Surge as Excuse to Limit Imports
The Chinese Communist Party’s latest excuse for the coronavirus wave it can no longer conceal is that packages from overseas brought the omicron variant to China. The party is using this notion as an excuse to limit imports.
China’s postal administration wants to “build a barrier” against coronavirus infestations allegedly delivered through international mail, the state-run Global Times reported Tuesday.
“Virologists warned of the high risk of packages from overseas causing domestic [Chinese coronavirus] flare-ups, when the epidemic overseas is running high, as contaminated packages from epidemic-rampant countries may spread the virus to people with weak immunity through viral particles floating in the air, or people without proper protective gear,” the Global Times wrote.
Communist health officials have decided to blame coronavirus outbreaks in the cities of Beijing and Shenzhen on packages from North America, with the Beijing outbreak specifically linked to Toronto, Canada.
Chinese virologists quoted by the Global Times claimed a piece of mail from Toronto was found to be teeming with the omicron virus and must surely have infected the recipient in Beijing around January 11, the day Beijing officials first admitted a coronavirus outbreak was in progress. – READ MORE
