How reliable are Chinese statistics?
Chinese spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Yuan Mu said thirty years ago: Nobody died in Tiannamen square.
Western politicians nowadays have seen 'Tienanmen statistics' when they were growing up. For those who still believes it are either naive and ignorant or eager for Chinese money, which both are the worst of humanity. Fortunately, these crowds are limited to Western politicians, scholars and bankers, who spent their honeymoon with China for the last 20 years. Folks in Germany and Switzerland are behaving as they are supposed to, yet they're still being tricked by their politicians.
Jacky Chan once said: TVs made in China explode. Masks made in China are now returned without exception. With the benefit of hindsight, Chan was indeed a true intellectual. With globalisation and the Chinese pandemic, countries began a quality race to the bottom. And this bat and mouse eating civilization dreaded by Lu Xun is way ahead the rest of the pack.

Swiss Government Exposed to Have Allowed In Chinese Agents in Secret Agreement
Human rights group Safeguard Defender has published a report exposing a secret agreement between the Swiss government with China allowing operations of Chinese public security agents in Switzerland. The agreement, the existence of which had been unknown to the Swiss parliament, allowed Chinese agents to enter the country in unofficial capacities and to track down and help investigate Chinese citizens that the Swiss authorities wished to expel.
According to the report, the “readmission agreement” was signed on 8 December 2015. The agreement allowed Chinese officials to enter Switzerland and to track down, investigate and question “illegal immigrants” or potential repatriates to help the Swiss authorities ascertain if the individuals were Chinese citizens.
While the agreement provided that Chinese officials could only come by the invitation of the Swiss authorities for an investigation lasting two weeks, China had full discretion in deciding in naming the agents without Switzerland’s approval. Upon arrival, the officials might be admitted in unofficial capacities with their identities and reports guaranteed secret by the Swiss authorities. They were also allowed to act freely on Swiss soil and to question up to six people every day for 10 days without being supervised by Swiss officials, meaning they could question as many as 60 people on each visit.
The annex further provided that all their travel and local expenses be covered by the Swiss authorities. Accommodation would also be arranged.

#ChinaDaily Caught Promoting China with Stolen Photo of #Switzerland, After Criticizing Western Media's Credibility
China Daily, China's state-owned newspaper, released a satirical cartoon via its Twitter account on May 10, 2021, suggesting that "western media lacks credibility".
The account subsequently shared a promotional video on sightseeing in China, which showed a natural landscape with the hashtag “#ChineGlamour”. However, German and French TV station #ARTE（Association Relative à la Télévision Européenne) discovered that the landscape image was taken by a travel blogger, and was in fact recorded in #Brienz, Switzerland. The image is then flipped horizontally, and the blogger's watermark cropped out.
The blogger criticised China Daily’s #plagiarism, and mocked them for promoting China with a stolen picture of Switzerland. China Daily had since deleted the video without apologies.

Chinese official media quoted from “Swiss scholar” on the traceability of the politicized virus in the United States; Swiss Embassy in China: no such person
In the beginning of this month Chinese multiple official media including People Daily and Guancha, quoted a published article from Swiss biologist Wilson Edwards. In which, it stated there is a scholar being suppressed by United States as he supports the first virus traceability report which published by China and WHO, the article was criticizing WTO virus traceability work as political tool of the United States. However, Embassy of Switzerland in Beijing posted a statement in Twitter on Tuesday night (10August), cleared out there is no citizen in Switzerland called Wilson Edwards, and no relevant article was signed with his name in the biology community. The embassy claimed for Chinese press and netizens, who have retweeted that news take down the posts and post correction statement. They also called for, if “Wilson Edwards” really “exists”, please contact the embassy and they would like to meet him.
Now, many Chinese media have taken down those relevant posts, but people can still search the original links from Google by using the Chinese translated name of “Wilson Edwards”; those official media have not posted any correction statement and the relevant report is still available on Eposh Times.
