(26 Jan) Medical staff in Wuhan complained about the poor quality of protective gear. The staff in the video said the new gears they just received from Wuhan Health Commission were different from those they've been using (from the headquarter). They were different in packaging, weight and quality. The new gown tears apart before they go to work and the masks are fake.

Jerry-built construction: Video shows interior of new Wuhan hospital badly leaking water

(Editor's Note: If the leakage is real, it would be devastating for those staying inside as #Wuhan will be snowing tomorrow. It will lead to more leakage and a drastic drop of temperature inside. The delivery of resources will become more difficult.)

Communist China claimed to have completed the city's Huoshenshan Hospital, built to care for 1,000 of the city's residents infected with the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The rapid construction of the hospital was widely trumpeted by Chinese state-run mouthpieces.

However, on Saturday (Feb. 15), the dissident group Inty-media uploaded a video on Telegram and Twitter submitted by a Chinese user, allegedly taken from inside the vaunted #Huoshenshan Hospital. In the video, a large puddle of water can be seen in the hallway, with water dripping from the ceiling. Almost comically, just one yellow bucket can be seen capturing the steady indoor downpour, while little thought seems to be given to live electrical wires.

ā€œThe Marvelous Snailā€, are you playing games which censor your speech?

Editorā€™s note: This game was developed by a Chinese company Qcplay Limited and published by LTGames Global, a Hong Kong company. LTGames is a sub-company of another Chinese company G-bits Network Technology (Xiamen) Co. Ltd. So the so-called ā€œHong Kong companyā€ is just a camouflage. Then on its official site we can see the game "äøę€č­°čæ·å®®" listed, which was developed by the same team who developed "The Marvelous Snail".

ā€œThe Marvelous Snailā€, are you playing games which censor your speech?

(24 Jul) Recently a new game ā€œThe Marvelous Snailā€ was launched on Taiwan region Google Play and App Store. As soon as it was announced, along with advertorials from internet figures and tremendous advertisements, the game has secured the top position in both online stores.

//Chat restriction is no new element in pro-Beijing games... How much can you compromise against freedom?

//how do you know there would not be a day the in self-censorship in game would censor words the CCP doesnā€™t want people to mention and display words like ā€œsuicideā€, ā€œmaking moneyā€ in Putonghua Romanization like Tiktok?

//Anyway, I canā€™t stand a game exercising censorships in a so-called Taiwan server like how it did in China. I have deleted it.

//a player in ā€œåŠäæ ęƒ…ē·£åƒā€ got chat restricted for 10 years for saying ā€œOkay, China Wuhan Pneumoniaā€.

//Freedom of speech is something would gradually disappear if you donā€™t defend it.
