Everyone knows China lied. China lies about everything. Some people have been complaining about made in China products for years, but many still bought them because they were cheaper and it's hurt the US because of it. Now they spread a virus to the world, lying about it the entire time. I hope you all think twice about buying anything made in China from now on.

Those names cannot be mentioned here, but most of us know who these people are.

My question is, where do they go? Where do they live, where do they go on holiday? Must be other worldly as I never find out. These people have a separate list of top 100 wealth, most people cannot even imagine.

I never find out who is the real director of the Holyweird propaganda, who controls the narrative and what power do they have over Kubrick and the rest.

Why there is no real truthers, aka best reporters known to man looking into this. JFK. Max Spiers syndrome?

I'll say it...It's because china lied and people died!

....

The article went on to postulate that some of the landlines might have been shut down as a consequence of the coronavirus quarantines, particularly lines used by shuttered business operations, but the sheer magnitude of the cell phone user decline makes it more difficult to explain. China Mobile, the nation’s largest carrier, reported gaining 3.7 million new accounts in December but then losing over 8 million in January and February, months in which it posted gains of 3.5 million users the previous year.

The Epoch Times considered several explanations for the loss of users, such as migrant workers who kept different cell phones for their home and work cities – necessary due to some of China’s regulations on phone service – abandoning the work phone because it was not needed during the quarantine period, or people generally canceling their phone service because they wanted to save money during the hard months.

On the other hand, the government is currently requiring citizens to use their cell phones to generate “health codes” so their movements can be tracked and permission to travel can be restricted to healthy individuals, so as U.S.-based commentator Tang Jiangyuan put it, it is effectively “impossible for a person to cancel his cellphone.”

“Dealing with the government for pensions and social security, buying train tickets, shopping … no matter what people want to do, they are required to use cell phones,” Tang noted.


Get that? They are REQUIRED TO HAVE AND USE CELLPHONES. They have to consent to be tracked by the govt at all times. So, if they didn't die then, surely the china govt has killed them by now for not following the law! Just a guess. Wow what an evil empire!

Makes me question the real reason for the "Build the Wall" campaign. Since it's basically proved ineffective at keeping people out, i wonder how well it'll keep people IN! I suspect that it'll be spot on with the new shelter in place policies for us that are on this side of it! Killbox

Or something very like it. Perhaps they heard it was tracking them, also. Over 21 million is twice the entire population of Wuhan. So, the logistics seem very unlikely to be that they were all summarily offed.

you guys have no clue how their system works.

When people don't want to keep their phone number and don't want to pay the bill, the number will be dropped.

happens all the time.

When millions do not have income, they will drop their number and get a new one later.

People like you are part of the normal statistics. It all adds up and pre pandemic the normal was growth by a few million each year.

For your phone going down there are several more being bought. Growth



But during the pandemic in China, 21 million phones terminated. That is a massive spike down that is not normal.

It indicates something happened. Maybe people feared having covid and they broke their phones so they could hide at home with Mom and Dad in the Chinese country side.

Re: Why Did 21 Million Phone Numbers Disappear from China After Coronavirus Outbreak?
The owners had use the phones as separate numbers to throw off the authorities. They didn’t want to be trailed. So they ditch the numbers.

The Chines people know their Communist government tracks them. They know the somewhat totalitarian system may be bad or stifling for some individuals but on the whole the system worked well to lift the country out of anarch and poverty.
They KNOW the controls and monitoring by the government and use that to their advantage of getting order and harmony in their society without the tribulations of democratic competitive rivalries, wasteful schemings, pork barrel politics and all the “ russian collusion, capitol hill/ westminster posturings and shenanigans “. They know the present system will lift their country to be better developed.

At the same time they devised their own ways to evade government monitoring or controls if they so desire. They are aware their government try to brainwash them, so they let the government thinks so but invent ways to keep the government outof their lives

Unlike in the West where citizens think they are FREE because of the “ DEMOCRATIC AND LIBERTY “ labels attached to our system, making us utterly hypnotised without knowing we are utterly brainwashed, feeling that our governments’ sneaky controlling ways ARE OF OUR OWN FREE VOLITION-

I understand the use of mobile/ cell phones as tracking devices and the idea that 21 million people died, however - supposing intel operatives were shut down; those who used phones to ring inside our heads for the AI programs i.e. to speak to people; give them thoughts and educate or manipulate them.


Suppose they all got/get shut down...
