The latest wave of emergency infectious disease drills across China is raising red flags that cannot be ignored. From Gansu to Jiangsu, the Chinese regime is conducting drills for “pneumonia of unknown cause,” a phrase ominously reminiscent of the early days of the SARS and COVID-19 outbreaks. This is not just a routine check-up; it’s a disturbing echo of the past, where such terms foreshadowed significant global crises.
Despite the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) claim of victory over COVID-19 by February 2023, their current actions speak louder than their words. The intense resurgence of drill activities, particularly after the abrupt cessation of stringent COVID-19 measures last December suggests a damning lack of control and preparation.
Now, we must confront the possibility that what’s unfolding could once again reach American shores, just as COVID-19 did. The CCP‘s habitual opacity and its historical mishandling of disease information are alarming. These drills, cloaked under the guise of preparedness, could very well be the prelude to another outbreak that the regime is scrambling to manage, or worse, conceal.
This scenario unfolds against a backdrop of economic turmoil and escalating unemployment within China, hinting at the CCP’s potential motive to use public health fears to tighten its authoritarian grip. Intriguingly, these drills are ramping up during summer, an off-peak season for respiratory illnesses, which suggests a strategic positioning by the CCP to perhaps cover up a resurgence of COVID-19 or introduce a new narrative of “unknown pneumonia” to distract from their failures.
The timing and nature of these drills should serve as a clarion call for vigilance. As Americans, we’ve already seen the dire consequences of unchecked viral spread originating from China. We must stay alert, questioning and verifying every shred of information, as the CCP’s actions are a testament to their disregard for global cooperation and public health transparency.
It is crucial that we maintain a skeptical watch on these developments. The safety of our nation could depend on it, as we all too well understand the direct impact that China’s internal crises can have globally. Let us not be caught off guard again.
