Chinese netizens are seething in anger after Chinese authorities announced the results of an investigation into the case of whistleblower doctor Li Wenliang.
Li, an ophthalmologist, was one of eight whistleblowers who first publicized about an “unknown pneumonia” outbreak on Chinese social media in December 2019. After the online post went viral, he was summoned to the local Zhongnan Road police station on Jan. 3 and reprimanded for “rumor-mongering.”
