The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has reintroduced some COVID-19 control measures, including new mask and vaccination mandates, as an outbreak of what it calls “atypical pneumonia“ continues to wreak havoc across the country.

The mandates signal the severity of the epidemic in China. At the same time, the regime continues to avoid admitting that this wave of “pneumonia,” which has been building up for three months, is likely another wave of COVID-19.
