Is China using Quarantine as a pretext to imprison political enemies?

Bet on it. Never let good a crisis go to waste.

bullshit

No. But it no longer matters what the sheep think, because they cant hide behind the sheep anymore.

Awe, such innocence...no, sweety, they're using it as a pretext to kill them.

...OR what if the US said "Ok, here's the deal China, accept this trade agreement and we will look the other way while you euthanize half of your population".

Those left will enjoy greater riches as US and China work together to build to MCGA into an equal trading partner.

I don’t buy the “oh it’s about control” meme, this is all economically devastating and puts the regime more at risk than just giving the middle finger and rounding enemies up during normal peacetime. After all they imprisoned 100ks of Muslims in full view of the world, China needs no cover.

They were killing their females for decades with the one-child policy and now have an over-abundance of aging males that are not going to be working for much longer and are going to need medical assistance as they get older.

Instead of paying out the top of the pyramid, they just chop it off.

If they purge the older males, it will be very lucrative and might have been the plan from the get-go.

Real virus or not, they have the cover to get rid of them now.

I said this several days ago when I first saw videos of completely healthy people being drug from their homes and workplaces.

They are after dissidents.

Wouldn't you? Never let a good crisis go to waste.

Either the severity of the wuflu is real or its not, but either way they will be using it to get rid of the opposition to the CCP.

Yes been saying it all along. They are murdering them and saying they died of Coronavirus.

Why would u believe the media after all there lies about every thing else?

You can't send military to do anything to civilians. But if they were sick cause of a fake virus and u showed up in dr uniforms and nurse outfits the media will blast it all over cause the media are morons.

Yes

Yup, 75% of deaths have been male. Never seen a virus act this way. I'm waiting for more data to come from western countries so we can see how much of the Chinese data is hogwash.

Perhaps, but that's irrationally extreme, so my guess is, no.

People always act like there is only one reason why a event happens.

There can be multiple reasons and even new actions taken once a event happens.

Never let a good crisis go to waste.

Hahaha China can arrest any journalist for any reason at any time.
They don't need to waste time and resources or creating an "accident".

Yes they can but now they can eliminate 30 million people without any blow back and actually gain sympathy from the world.

If they want to do business and avoid war with the international world they do.

As technology advanced to our current level, I see the China leadership in fragile condition.

Just one wrong move could turn the entire population against the ones in power. News and information spreads fast this day in time. Thats why they have so much control over the Internet in China.

A purge just won't work like it did in the past. They have to do it in a very controlled manner.

Just look at how divided the USA is on this matter. Nobody knows exactly what is happening over there

Never let a crisis go to waste. If this virus is serious they will use it as cover to carry out their deeds.

When did the ChiComs ever need a pretext to imprison anyone?

This. And sometimes the universe does what it wants...

Good point

...THEY GOT SOME LOCAL NEWS FOLKS TO SAY THIS ON LIVE TV ABOUT A YEAR OR SO AGO....!

Another good point, but China only cares about the dollar. This seems beyond their ability to strategize.

Before Clinton gave them Most Favored Nation trading status they didn't.

Now that the west is using them as its manufacturing base it has to be more concerned about human rights.

Or at least be sneakier about it.
