’China needs to apologize for troubles’ Former host at CCTV’s speech caused massive attack by netizens
(25 Feb) A former host at state broadcaster CCTV, Qiu Menghuang said, “China needs to apologize to the world with a bow and say ‘sorry we have caused troubles for everyone.” He posted the comment on Weibo, China’s version of Twitter, and was massively attacked by netizens.
Netizens said ‘Wuhan has suffered for the whole world with a city lockdown, China has suffered for everyone.” And that Qiu’s speech helps stimulate racism against Chinese by implying ‘Chinese are wrong, Chinese deserve to die”.
“Even though the stereotype of ‘sick man of Asia’ has been shattered for over a century, can we be slightly more gentle and apologetic in our tone, humbly put on a face mask and give a bow to the world and say ‘sorry that we have caused troubles for everyone” he wrote on his Weibo on February 20th.
His comment was to respond a US article named ‘China is the real sick man of Asia’ on Wall Street Journal, which triggered an incident of suspected insulting against Chinese.
Many netizens disagreed and recapped Bruce Aylward, Assistant Director-General of the World Health Organization's Polio and Emergencies Cluster, “The world owes Wuhan big time because of all the sacrifices they have made” and stated “the virus is a natural disaster, a common enemy of everyone. It happens everywhere, just that this time it happened in Wuhan. Wuhan took up all the suffering themselves with a city lockdown, China suffered for everyone in the world.”
Another netizen continued, “Qiu’s speech is very dangerous. He provides a ethical reason for racism against Chinese – Chinese did a wrong thing, Chinese deserves to die. Qiu, as a Chinese, would not apologize to the world by killing himself.”
Qiu had then deleted his comment, but that did not stop the vicious and extremist nationalistic comments, such as ‘A slave is a slave. He would not stand up even when you ask him to’, ‘CCTV really breeds all kinds of monsters’, ‘There is always someone loves to kneel down to be a dog of double standard. The whole world should thank and remember Wuhan, ‘The west do not let go of any chance for anti-Chinese, and the public intellectuals in China follow in their footsteps.’

China says Wall Street Journal admitted mistake after its reporters were expelled
(26 Feb) Three journalists with the Wall Street Journal’s Beijing bureau were ordered to leave China after the publication of a 3 Feb column headlined the “real sick man of Asia”. None were involved in the opinion piece or its headline, however.
Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang accused the newspaper of using “a racially discriminatory title, triggering indignation and condemnation among the Chinese people and the international community”. He said, “China demands the WSJ recognise the severity of its mistake, make an official apology and hold the persons involved accountable.”
The newspaper's spokesman declined to comment when contacted by Reuters. US President Donald Trump stated that China’s move was unfair and that the US gave very good access to Chinese journalists. This incident has sparked an intense debate within the administration and whether they should expel Chinese journalists in response.

Cash payout of HK$10,000 to HK residents, Chinese netizens recommend proof of “patriotic thought” as a requirement
(26 Feb) The financial Secretary has revealed in a speech to the legislative council of hong kong planning to pay permanent residents whose age are over 18 HK$10,000 each. This has stirred up heat from Chinese social media as they believed the money used by the Hong Kong government was given by the Chinese Central Government. Most of the commenters expressed envy, jealousy and even hate. They expressed the hardships that they endured due to the coronavirus outbreak as the nation continues to grind to a screeching halt as more than 20 million people are still confined in their homes.
Some netizens even proposed that the lump sum payment should only be made when the recipient has demonstrated their patriotic spirit with acts like singing the Chinese national anthem in full. The thing is that most Chinese mainlanders do not understand that Hong Kong is fiscally independent of the Chinese government, thus the money used for the scheme comes from Hong Kong taxpayers, not Chinese taxpayers.
Furthermore, as the cash payout scheme only benefits Hong Kong permanent residents, some non-permanet residents are complaining that they do not benefit even though they pay their fair share of taxes. Miss Zhao took to social media to show her discontent, posting:” The Hong Kong government is giving out money to permanent residents, but we non-permanent taxpayers are not benefited, even though the outbreak affects us all equally.” She also pointed out that the government had not taken into consideration about minority groups stating a policy Macau has recently announced to hand out cash payouts whether or not an individual is a permanent or non-permanent resident.
Judging from the reactions of Chinese social media, Chinese propaganda has been working hard to spread misinformation, deepening the already deep divide between Hong Kong and Mainland China.

Editor's Note: Chou Tzuyu was accused of supporting Taiwanese independence for waving a Taiwanese flag in 2016 and was forced to apologise to continue working in the entertainment industry.

Be "Tolerate" to Sun Yang
(14 Mar) Recently, the Pro-Beijing camp and the Hong Kong police have both tried to open up the international battleline, justifying the regime's violation of human rights and condoning indiscriminate violence.
After the visit to the United States by several members from the Executive Council (ExCo), Regina Ip Lau Suk-yee said that the US has little chance of sanctions. However, almost at the same time, the State Department released a report about human rights, criticizing Hong Kong police for using excessive force and interfering with the freedom of assembly. Whether the sanctions are awaiting in the future or not, everyone remembers that after Regina Ip's visit to the US last year, she also publicly stated that the "Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act" would not be passed too soon, which the Act passed two months later.
//the so-called "police violence" is a weapon to discredit and defame the police... but Kwok did not explain why the police did not do what they should do on 21 July
//the public to be tolerant of the police because they are under pressure.
//In China, Sun Yang's incident was read as the whole world slandering Sun and framing China, and the dignity of the entire nation shall go all in to fight for the "right" judgment... the swimming "giant baby" has become an "abandoned baby".

Youtube Censorship: Coronavirus related videos yellow tagged, same for CCP forbidden topics 2/2
Many Youtubers avoid to demonetize videos mentioning Wuhan Coronavirus after their video are marked with "yellow tags", even for videos educating people about Covid19 and personal hygiene. Most of them agree that such censorships only make pandemic worse.
Don, ex-organizer of Google, claimed that most of the managers in charge of Chinese department in Youtube are mainland Chinese. So, they are more alerted to the words forbidden by the Chinese Communist party, such as Independant of Tibet. They are particularly strict on videos of these topics. He said that he has been picking on by others as he post a poster of "Five demands, not one less" in his office.

(2 Mar) A world with one more cyber-community of hundreds of millions of people suffering from collective mental illness is a nasty thing.
Symptoms of a mental patient: reading out many imaginary stuff out of what should have been a simple question, and then ranting hysterically.
For example, a Chinese swimmer named Sun Yang was banned from competition for eight years after the International Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled that he had taken drugs illegally.
//A smart nation should not have pledged the dignity of 1.3 billion people on such trivial matter, and insisted that the Western rules crowd out or discriminate Chinese, or that the international swimming organizations were bribed by the U.S. empire out of jealousy towards China's rise and prosperity.//

Chinese woman resentful of Sydney clinic's phrasing "Wuhan Pneumonia", argued with staff, "If you earn our money, don't disgrace us."
(26 Mar) Under the pseudonym Linda, a Chinese woman wrote on the Chinese news website Sydney Today. She claimed that she had an appointment with cardiologist Dr Clement Wong at Sydney Specialists Centre in Hurstville on 24 Mar. Four days before the checkup, she received a message from the clinic. Besides asking Linda to confirm her appointment, the clinic reminded her that "due to the recent Wuhan pneumonia outbreak, patients must wear a mask before entering the clinic". Caught by surprise, Linda was furious when she saw the words “Wuhan pneumonia”.
When she saw the words "Wuhan pneumonia", Linda said, "I was so angry my heart rate went up so I just cancelled my appointment." She also replied to the message, "Amend your message. This disease is called corona virus Covid-19 [sic], not Wuhan pneumonia." She did not expect the response, "This pneumonia originated in Wuhan, it is known as Wuhan pneumonia in Chinese." Linda lambasted the clinic as "unprofessional", and angrily replied, "You have your business in Hurstville with Chinese clientele. If you are biased or want to be divisive, please go to a more remote area so you don't have to receive Chinese clients, earn our money nor disgrace us, you ignoramus!"
When the local press called Sydney Specialists to inquire about the message's usage of "Wuhan pneumonia", a female staff member replied, "It isn't? What is the problem?" She later commented indignantly in English, "If you want to challenge me on this, go ahead!" She also emphasised, "I am very busy and have no time to talk about this." When the reporter asked to speak with Dr Wong, she hung up. Subsequent calls went straight to voicemail.
Dr Clement Wong graduated from the University of New South Wales. In 2013, he earned his master's degree in Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics from the University of Newcastle. In 2010, he completed cardiologist training at the Prince of Wales and St George Hospital. Soon after, he obtained his doctorate in Lipidology at the University of Sydney. From 2015 to 2017, he completed interventional cardiology procedures and research at the Ottawa Heart Institute in Canada.
"Wuhan pneumonia" has many names. In mainland China, it is "Novel Coronavirus". The WHO calls it "COVID-19". Yet, veteran publisher and writer Ngan Shun-kau affirmed in an article that, after taking everything into consideration, the disease should be named "Wuhan pneumonia". He declared that the epidemic was not merely a virus, but "about compassion and sin, love and hate, history and memories". The name should serve as a reminder to the world of the cover-up by the CCP, the suffering and sacrifice of Wuhan citizens, and the people who did not give up despite the massive uncertainties that lie ahead. He also stated that he would continue to use the name “Wuhan Pneumonia”.

Taiwan will donate 10 million pieces of masks. Chinese netizens: will write "donated by China" on all donations
(1 Apr) Taiwan prepared their pandemic prevention materials in advance and will donate 10 million pieces of masks to countries with severe pandemic outbreak. Moreover, many countries would like to cooperate with Taiwan. Taiwan is currently cooperating with the United States and the Czech Republic, and also exchanging pandemic prevention materials with the United States and Australia. In addition, Taiwan will also provide assistance to countries with diplomatic relationships to obtain medical supplies through local purchase.
Tsai Ing-wen emphasized that Taiwan must not stand on the side and is ready to provide assistance to the international community in three aspects: masks, drugs and technology. The premise for such cooperation is that Taiwan has "strong power" and the government has the "capacity" and willing to fulfill its responsibilities as a member of the international community. "To show everyone that not only Taiwan can help but Taiwan is helping."
This news was reposted on Weibo and many Chinese netizens commented that "donation is made by China Taiwan anyways", "all donations are made by China", "should comment "from China Taiwan" on all tweets about Taiwan donating to any country", "International: thanks China", "agree Taiwan province to provide foreign aid", "these are China Taiwan (donation), of course donation from China and can donate as much as we want", "all credits go to China".

If your voice is not in harmony with China’s official tone, you would be attacked in a “cultural revolution-style” even if you are a mainlander.
Chinese student Nova Hui commented on Weibo that Chinese are “miserable wretches”, “country haters” and “returning to the country like prisoners”, and she “is not going to be the small potato of the country” and “doesn’t want to go back at all”. These comments were slammed by netizens, criticizing that she was ungrateful and has forgotten her roots. She was also doxed.
Nova later issued an apology, emphasizing that she “loves her motherland and compatriots”. She admitted that she neglected the feelings of her compatriots, and shouldn’t have provoked them with extremist opinions. However, Nova revealed to her friend that she apologized for the sake of downplaying the situation, and believed that “it’ll be fine after three days”. Netizens thought her apology was insincere, and Nova’s Weibo account was subsequently deleted.
Chinese visiting scholar Wending Mai earlier sent an apology email to her American colleagues for the spread of COVID-19, due to the delayed actions by China. “As a Chinese, I feel sorry about the coronavirus which comes from China has spreaded out, from an epidemic to a pandemic that brings so many inconveniences to you, and even endanger people’s lives”, he wrote. “Chinese governemnt’s cover-up and WHO’s delayed response are also disappointing causes that also contribute to the spread. United States is a great country. I believe U.S. will survive and thrive. And I hope everything goes well soon.” He continued.
In fact, before the ‘Wending Mai email’ incident, a Chinese student studying in the US, Zhihao Kong, posted an ‘apology video’ on Twitter to apologize to COVID-19 patients, and said that “China regime and Chinese people are guilty for the surge of the pandemic”.

If your voice is not in harmony with China’s official tone, you would be attacked in a “cultural revolution-style” even if you are a mainlander.
Chinese student Nova Hui commented on Weibo that Chinese are “miserable wretches”, “country haters” and “returning to the country like prisoners”, and she “is not going to be the small potato of the country” and “doesn’t want to go back at all”. These comments were slammed by netizens, criticizing that she was ungrateful and has forgotten her roots. She was also doxed.
Nova later issued an apology, emphasizing that she “loves her motherland and compatriots”. She admitted that she neglected the feelings of her compatriots, and shouldn’t have provoked them with extremist opinions. However, Nova revealed to her friend that she apologized for the sake of downplaying the situation, and believed that “it’ll be fine after three days”. Netizens thought her apology was insincere, and Nova’s Weibo account was subsequently deleted.

Apologize for saying the term “Wuhan Pneumonia”
[fwd] A Chinese overseas student in New Zealand was slammed by purely mentioning the term “Wuhan pneumonia” in a WeChat group. Friends argued that Wuhan sacrificed a lot… But isn’t the virus originated in Wuhan? Why must he apologise?

Leo:
At the same time, please don’t forget the Americans, Italians, Spanish, and all other foreigners who died from Wuhan pneumonia
Gumgum:
Are you still having to call it Wuhan pneumonia?
Leo:
COVID 19 then
Yuay:
COVID 19
Gumgum:
I even thought for a moment whether you were being sarcastic or not
Tracy:
Leo, what do you mean by everyone who died from Wuhan pneumonia? Are you being ambiguous? There is an official name for it, what’s wrong with you? You’re poisoned
Wilson:
Leo, please apologise
Chuanwei:
“Leo: COVID 19 then” This sounds quite insincere. Please explain.
Alex:
As someone from Wuhan, things have been miserable in Wuhan this year. The words ‘Wuhan pneumonia’ sound especially harsh to me
Aoda:
Wuhan really sacrificed a lot
Frankie:
How long has be been out of touch with the society?
Tracy:

Wilson:
You got to be responsible for what you said. If you don’t apologise, everyone will be watching you
Tracy:
I’m from Wuhan as well, but not because I need to voice out for Wuhan. This incident is like how Trump said ‘Chinese Virus’, no one can tolerate that. The virus has a name, covid 19, what’s your purpose for calling it Wuhan pneumonia?
Frankie:
+1 Maybe to him, the air’s fresher and the moon’s brighter abroad
Frankie:
Just one sentence, then… that’s brilliant
Wilson:
If he doesn’t apologise today, no one is allowed to change the subject
Kaixu:
Calm down, come out and explain. The 490 of us should all tag him.
Frankie:
Just kick him out
Elva:
For people who say ‘Wuhan pneumonia’ and ‘Chinese virus’, I’m curious about what they’re thinking, especially when they’re Chinese
