in a hospital in Wuhan, the center of an epidemic he warned about in December. Conflicting accounts about his condition echoed through official channels and across social media, adding another layer of confusion in a government that appears increasingly overwhelmed. Early reports of Li’s death were retracted when the hospital said it was working to save his life.Li left behind his wife, also infected with the coronavirus and pregnant with their second child.
People wear masks Jan. 24 in the Jingshan Park in Beijing. Two weeks into the coronavirus epidemic, there’s no sign that it’s under control. Within an hour of Li’s death, the trending topic “Wuhan government owes Dr. Li Wenliang an apology” on the social platform Weibo was censored. The most efficient organizations at coordinating donations have ironically been celebrities’ fan clubs, the only sort of grass-roots organization still allowed to exist under Xi’s crackdown on civil society as he moves to consolidate his power.
That has raised concerns from dissidents and grass-roots groups on the margins of Chinese society, but not shaken his power in the mainstream, in part because Xi has so adroitly mobilized Chinese propaganda and education to spur nationalism. Even with other recent challenges — a U.S.-China trade war, unrest in Hong Kong, Taiwan’s assertion of sovereignty, and global criticism over Xi’s detention of Uighur Muslims in concentration camps in Xinjiang — Xi has managed to hover above public criticism, often by blaming “foreign intervention.”But now Xi faces the biggest challenge yet to his rule and the party’s legitimacy: a preventable crisis that is striking Chinese families dead, shows no sign of stopping, and cannot be blamed away.
Xi and his government could end up killing half of China. Depends on how the human body generates antibodies. There's no possibility of these authoritarians changing their world view. Example: paper face masks. Xi's people like them. They do not protect the wearers !!
zaptrapped May you be written down in history as one who gave his life for life. Now he’s a HERO.
so...So you blindly think China is the same.
Until January 31 this year, a picture released on the website of 'business insider' in the United States showed that as a result, as many as 284500 people died and 214 countries were affected as a result of the failure of the United States to control the spread of the virus.
Look at what the United States, as the most developed capitalist country in the world, has done in the face of the epidemic and the 'international public health emergency'.
Doctor Li Wenliang's death is tragic and could have been prevented. He did everything he was supposed to do and was punished for it. Now his wife and children are alone. 😢

deray This is always where lies lead — death. Doesn’t matter whether it’s communist lies, fascist lies, capitalist lies, xenophobic lies, or just general bigot lies, the result is the same — death, death, and more death. Humans never seem to learn this lesson.

Lots of reports he didn’t die though.
Not buying this for one second. What are those makeshift hospitals really for?
Some reports are saying he is not dead yet. Is this confirmed?
This is how trump wants you run America amid secrets lies and fear of him and the government and the SPINELESSGOP supports him
