MoA: China – Protest Instigators And Zero-Covid Policies
Within the last two days the New York Times produced four anti-China opinion pieces:
Are the Chinese Protests a Moment or a Movement?
The Communist Party Is Losing China’s People
Xi Broke the Social Contract That Helped China Prosper
All four predict doom for China and president Xi’s leadership. In typical color-revolution fashion the sudden onslaught of these pieces follows recent reports of minor protests in some Chinese cities related to zero-Covid measures.

The consulate in Chengdu was involved in a murky incident in 2012 when the police chief of a city some 250 miles away, Wang Lijun, attempted to defect. The incident was linked to a corruption scandal that brought down Wang’s boss, regional CCP chief Bo Xilai, who had been thought in line for a major leadership position in Beijing, but was instead jailed for life in 2013 for corruption, bribery, and abuse of power.

The US consulate in Chengdu, covering consular affairs in several provinces and regions including Southwest China’s Tibet Autonomous Region, had attracted public attention for several occasions. It was opened in October 1985 by former US President George Bush, and had been besieged by crowds to protest the US bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade in 1999. The consulate in 2012 also became a scene for the incident concerning Wang Lijun, former vice mayor and police chief of Southwest China’s Chongqing, who defected and entered the consulate but later left on his own volition.
