Beijing should be honest even if the president has a condition Speaking out could improve their image
Chinese President Xi Jinping coughs violently throughout speech to Communist Party worshipers in Shenzhen, sparking speculation over his health, as state media cuts out whenever he is forced to stop to speak
Cameras moved away from the president, but he was heard stammering over the audio The episode encouraged his critics to speculate he had coronavirus
Hong Kong’s Apple Daily, which made headlines « Xi Jinping coughs and coughs at Shenzhen event as Carrie Lam stays away from VIPs, » noted that the Chinese president « was seen coughing and drink water «
Beijing should be honest even if the president has a condition Speaking out could improve their image and he won’t be the only one who has tested positive, if he does
Leaders are not immune to a cough or Wuhan virusUS President Donald Trump tests positive Same goes for Boris Johnson of the UK and Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil
Presidents of Bolivia, Guatemala and Honduras – have also been infected Just as prime ministers of Armenia and Russia Xi Jinping would be just another name on the list
But it won’t, China is not known for its transparency Xi was also mysteriously disappeared when the virus first spread He disappeared from public view not one, but two times
Then he appeared without a mask In an effort to prove that China defeated the virus He lifted locks and allowed pool parties The stunt may have backfired on him He coughed with key Chinese leaders nearby
Maybe he compromised them all Trump would have been hauled over the coals for something like this But in China, no one is questioning the president Everyone says the virus has been defeated
Which brings me to something the world is collectively wondering about. Everywhere there is a second wave looming, another round of lockdowns
But China is immune to its own virus China will also continue to inject its citizens with questionable vaccines and lift restrictions as if the virus is gone
So many propaganda videos to show that China has bounced back A man’s cough can undo a lot
