Chinese authorities recently detained a teacher for 15 days after he suggested that the country should try to “coexist” with the CCP Virus.

The detention had the effect of deterring what had been lively online debate between netizens on whether the Chinese regime should abandon its zero-tolerance approach to outbreaks of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes the disease COVID-19, as the country grapples with the spread of the highly transmissible Delta variant.
