The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus outbreak that originated in Wuhan, China, is causing a substantial loss of life to China’s neighboring country, India. At the same time, the CCP’s sudden establishment of a new agency called the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention is attracting international attention.

On April 28, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security announced the appointment of officials to the new agency. Wang Hesheng, Deputy Director of the National Health Commission (NHC), was appointed as Director general, and Chang Jile, Shen Hongbing, and Sun Yang were appointed Deputy Director generals.
