Hospitals in China have been overflowing with patients with respiratory tract infections for weeks.

Meanwhile, the Chinese communist regime’s Ministry of National Security called to raise awareness of bioattack threats from foreign countries.

China observers believe that a new wave of COVID-19 has begun in China and the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has started a propaganda campaign to shift the blame.

According to Chinese media reports, a large number of adults and children in China are showing symptoms of respiratory tract infections such as fever, coughing, sour throat, and white lungs, and have flooded pediatric outpatient departments, fever clinics, and infusion centers across the country. Mycoplasma pneumonia infection, influenza, COVID-19, norovirus, and other viruses are sending many patients to hospitals at the same time.

Nanfang Daily, a state-run media outlet in China’s southern province of Guangdong, reported on Oct. 28 that mycoplasma pneumonia has been ravaging the area recently, and many children have been infected, worrying parents.

Pediatric doctors and nurses at Beijing Tiantan Hospital have been overwhelmed by the sudden rise in the number of sick children recently, according to Chinese media reports. A pediatrician at the hospital said that the number of patients waiting in the pediatric outpatient clinic may be four to five hundred every day, which is an increase of three to four times compared with the past. “We haven’t reached the turning point yet. At present, the main infection is Mycoplasma pneumonia, and some infants and young children are prone to combined viral and bacterial infections. Syncytial virus, adenovirus, parainfluenza virus, and rhinovirus are all causing infections. Influenza A and B infections have also appeared recently.”

Lu Hongzhou, director of Shenzhen Third Hospital in the southern megacity, told the media that the hospital has seen an increase in fever outpatient patients in the past half month.

The Epoch Times reported last week that many children in China who are exhibiting high fevers, coughs, and even “white lung” symptoms have flooded hospitals and infected other members of their families, according to Chinese media reports and posts on social media.

Based on the reported symptoms, authorities’ lack of transparency, and the lack of press freedom in China, suspicions point to another outbreak of COVID-19.

After the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) suddenly abandoned its draconian zero-COVID policy and restrictive control measures in December 2022, China experienced a massive COVID-19 outbreak, killing countless people, including a large number of elderly people who developed “white lungs” before their deaths.

Since then, whenever hospitals become overcrowded with patients who have COVID-19-like symptoms, the CCP authorities come up with a new term such as “flu,” “noro,” “national pharyngitis,” and now “mycoplasma pneumonia,” to explain the disease outbreaks, as mandatory COVID-19 PCR testing has been canceled.

COVID-19 was originally called “Wuhan pneumonia” in China, due to its symptoms when it first broke out in Wuhan, Hubei Province, in late 2019.

Ministry of National Security Warns of ‘Biosecurity’

Meanwhile, The CCP’s Ministry of National Security published an article on its official account on Chinese social media platform WeChat titled “How Small Genes Trigger a Biosecurity ‘Tornado’” on Oct. 30. It claims, “In addition to targeting our country’s human genetic resources, some overseas institutions, organizations and personnel are also eyeing our species resources as their secret theft targets.”

The ministry’s article said that the national security agency discovered that an unnamed overseas non-governmental organization was recruiting volunteers in China in the name of conducting research on biological species, collecting data and information on the distribution of biological species in various places, and requiring participants to upload the collected data through special mobile phone software.

It also stated: “99.7% to 99.9% of human DNA is the same, and the small differences are the key to distinguishing various races. If there are a sufficient number of human genetic samples, scientists can analyze and understand the unique genetic characteristics of each nation and race.”

The ministry warned in the article: “If used by individuals or organizations with ulterior motives, genetic weapons can even be developed to kill predetermined racial targets, thereby selectively attacking targets with specific racial genes.” It called for raising awareness against such outside threats.

The article has been widely reported by major Chinese media outlets. Major Chinese media reports also accused the United States of being the biggest collector of genomic data of Chinese, Arabs, and Europeans, citing a CCP foreign ministry’s spokesperson’s allegation in May.

U.S.-based current affairs commentator Shi Tao said in his talk show on YouTube that the current outbreaks in China and the CCP’s sudden warning showed that a new deadly wave of COVID-19 has already started in China and the communist regime knows about it, and “the CCP is pointing fingers to foreign countries first in preparation to shift the blame.”

The Western world has long suspected that COVID-19 was caused by a virus leaked from the CCP’s P4 lab in Wuhan. The lab is known for its connections with the regime and its military, where China’s leading virologist Shi Zhengli and her team have been experimenting with gain-of-function research on SARS-CoV-2 type viruses collected from bats for more than a decade. Variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus caused the outbreak of SARS in 2003 and COVID-19 pandemic in 2019. A few Wuhan P4 lab technicians were reported to be first infected with COVID-19 in late 2019.
