Despite the Lunar New Year in full play for 15 days, from Jan. 22 to Feb. 5, people in China are not in a celebratory mood.

Beijing residents suffered a surge in COVID cases after the regime suddenly lifted the lockdown and eased up on the COVID restrictions. Instead of celebrating the Lunar New Year, Beijing residents are faced with a massive number of deaths and a backlog in cremation services. The deaths occurring in prisons are another tragedy the regime will never reveal to the outside world.
