WUHAN (China Daily Show) — Beijing has declared “complete victory” in its battle to bury the truth about the Covid-19 virus in mainland China.
“We believe we have successfully arrested the spread of the virus, along with hundreds of lawyers, doctors, and journalists,” a Wuhan official has briefed central authorities, according to a source.
“Our brave security apparatus have specifically targeted many over-talkative individuals who really should know better,” the official explained. “Plus a bunch of migrants for kicks, and anyone else who complained.”
“It’s been a hard-won battle,” an exhausted police officer admitted to China Daily Show, rubbing his knuckles with a grimace. “It’s been called a ‘People’s War,’ and I can confirm we have definitely waged war on many, many people.”
The official acknowledged, however, that there remains much work to be done overseas, where some foreigners still have a relatively positive view of China.
