CCP Fires Party Boss in Ruili for Not Curbing Virus Outbreak
The Chinese regime fired party boss Gong Yunzun in southwestern Ruili on April 8 for the city’s continual reports of diagnosed COVID-19 patients.
“[The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus outbreak in Ruili] severely impacted and undermined the overall situation of epidemic prevention and control across the country and the province, … has caused serious consequences and adverse effects,” the regime stated in an announcement explaining why it fired Gong.
On Thursday, Ruili announced about a dozen diagnosed patients and asymptomatic carriers, which caused Gong to lose his position. However, this number may not represent the true scale of the outbreak.
