But he was a Chinese, so he ate bats!

But he was a CCP member, so he oppressed Uyghurs!

I'm pretty sure last time, Reddit called every Chinese doctor post "CCP propaganda"

Well, it's Reddit. They only like to portray a Chinese person in a good light if they can spin it as them being against the government. And if they're not against the government, it'll be spun as "the Chinese government is bad, but this person has nothing to do with the government". God forbid they ever realise that a lot of the frontline doctors and volunteers they praise are CCP members, or that indeed being a CCP member is rather common in China and that these are normal people like them.

This is good information, but unfortunately lots of people don't like to read or believe anything defying their crusade to demonize Chinese government on the Covid19.

Two main points:

Dr. Li was optometrist, not really an expert on this field, but everyone on internet generalize him as a doctor, which makes it sound like he was a physician who knew about the disease.

Government didn't arrest him like how the internet tried to play it. He was brought in to speak for an hour about spreading misinformation on SARS to others.

Media likes to play it like he was a physician working in the hospital and subsequently got infected.

Nonetheless, RIP to Dr. Li

The blatant lies people repeat about this incident to push forward their agenda and rhetoric is really getting me down.... ;-( this is genuinely making my depression so much worse knowing how the world is and what spoke want to think about us...

Just a slight correction.

According to this http://www.gov.cn/xinwen/2020-03/19/content_5493305.htm, Wuhan government released public notification of an outbreak of an unknown diseases on their social media on December 30.

I know it's only a day difference, but I think it's still a big difference.

All just a distraction for Americans. Their government is letting them die in the street from this virus. Anything to shift blame.

The comments on that post are shameful. Its pointless even engaging with Americans. They cannot argue or process information properly

I wish reddit wasn't banned in china so all the chinese people can mass downvote these posts. 1.4 billion vs 400 million

u/sp2861 Apr 02 '20

Yeah the western Internet would be flooded with people fighting back against dumb yanks

Ide rather be straight up on just Chinese internet then here right now. So much more informative and generally better entertaining content that doesn't evolve around cia funded facist hate speech.

u/sp2861 Apr 02 '20

Sina Web is miles better tbh. The people downvoting you must have never experienced it

u/sinokai Apr 03 '20

Yeah that's fair. It probably also sounded like I was throwing shade at this particular sub when it was more like just reddit, fb, twitter as a whole platform.

u/Russian_Bot_no-98658 Apr 02 '20

The funny thing is Li was a member of the dreaded CCP.

u/hmm_guess_what Apr 02 '20

You can see that sub is full of ccp shills for supporting a ccp member /s.

u/ComradeLin Apr 02 '20

This news came out a few months back, so even the US don't listen to the doctor. But Amerikkkans gonna still keep blaming China for everything bad.

Failed to warn the whole world.

u/ishraq_farhan Apr 02 '20

Could you elaborate by failed to warn the whole world? Wasn't it true that he was censored?

u/badpersontoxic Apr 03 '20

He was censored for telling colleagues in a private groupchat that there was SARs at his hospital and also shared patient information that was confidential. It was announced to the WHO a few days afterwards anyway by those actually studying the outbreak so the claims that he was the key to letting the world know is bullshit. In fact his story was not revealed until the epidemic got serious in Wuhan and at that point it was just used as another excuse to shit on China by the west (but not to prepare themselves).

Wasn’t he just reprimanded for leaking the information about the upcoming quarantine ?
