The health code system crashed in current China’s COVID-19 outbreak center—Xi’an city—on Jan. 4. The 13 million residents then couldn’t receive a nucleic acid test which is mandated by the regime and went into panic.
On the early morning of Jan. 5, the Xi’an city government announced that Liu Jun, the director of the city’s Big Data Resources Administration which manages the health code system, was dismissed, and Liu Xin, a candidate to deputy director of the administration, was appointed to lead the government agency temporarily.
