The Chinese government would have you believe that they have beaten the Corona Virus and things are back to normal, but according to a few citizens, that’s not the case at all. It turns out China still has a ways to go before they are back to normal, but they don’t want the world to know that.
“Local companies and officials are fraudulently boosting electricity consumption and other metrics in order to meet tough new back-to-work targets as the spread of Covid-19 in China wanes, a Caixin investigation has found.
As new coronavirus cases in China slowed in recent weeks, local governments in less-affected regions pushed companies and factories to return to work, typically by assigning concrete targets to district officials. Company insiders and local civil servants told Caixin that, under pressure to fulfill quotas they could not otherwise meet, they deftly cooked the books.
Leaving lights and air conditioners on all day long in empty offices, turning on manufacturing equipment, faking staff rosters and even coaching factory workers to lie to inspectors are just some of the ways they helped manufacture flashy statistics on the resumption of business for local governments to report up the chain.
Electricity consumption data has regularly been used as a proxy for the business resumption rate when reporting to Beijing, and to the public.
The East China province of Zhejiang has been lauded as a prime example of the nation’s industrial recovery from the coronavirus outbreak by China’s top economic planner, which reported on Feb. 24 that its work resumption rate was more than 90%.
Nevertheless, a civil servant in one district of the provincial capital, Hangzhou, told Caixin that from Saturday plants were instructed to leave their industrial equipment idling for the whole day, while offices were told to keep computers and air-conditioners running, when Beijing began checking the resumption rate by examining power consumption figures.”
“The real resumption rate in one industrial park in Hangzhou over the weekend was 40%, the civil servant estimated, far below the 75% target.”
So maybe China should stop trying to play the blame and get back to helping their own citizens until they completely beat this virus. How are they going to claim to be the heroes and support everyone when they can’t even take care of themselves?
This is what communism and socialism gets you, lying and corrupt government officials with no media that is capable of calling out the corruption.
Unfortunately it’s what our children are being force fed in schools. This is what they will know. My son is a living example, I am getting him a job this summer, he can understand what they are doing to us. The idea is to get more blood suckers than workers so they can give them our hard earned money and stay in power while we all slide into poverty. A great example is what they have done to what was once great
Cities. Now they are shit holes. Trump threw a monkey wrench into the works, this is why it’s important to get him out and they will do it, thru any means. Even a deadly virus.
Yes it does. Just look at the demoncrap party and vile ilk of ninny pelosi, adam schi(t)ff, schmucky schumer, et al.
Please the chinese government is nothing but a pack of liars, it’s what communists do. They wouldn’t know the truth if it jumped up and played ping-pong in their nether region, with spiked paddles.
Italy put out their numbers on Saturday stating their death toll jumped by 793 to 4, 825. This is the largest reported daily rise since the COVID-19 emerged in the country a month ago. Supposedly, the number of those who have been killed in the Italian outbreak has surpassed the number of those killed in china, where the virus started late last year. I find that really hard to believe. Wouldn’t it be nice to actually know the TRUTH from the chinese government? I bet the number of their citizen’s they’ve murdered with COVID-19 is a hell of a lot higher than the number who have perished in Italy.
Anybody who thinks The Communist government of China is telling the truth needs to get their head examined. If The Communist government of China hasn’t lied in the beginning there would have been 95% less cases outside of China. Instead they purposely lied and tried to cover up everything which allowed the virus to infect the whole world.
This is the same playbook Russia used during Chernobyl. All you have to do is look at any/every Communist/Socialist/Dictator run country and you can see they suck for the regular citizens. China, North Korea, Venezuela, take your pick.
