There’s no such thing as torching the ChiComs’ too much for their role in the global COVID19 crisis.
But this thread from FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr doesn’t just torch the ChiComs — it lays waste to them.
Yesterday morning, Hua Chunying, the Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Director General for the Chinese government’s so-called Department of Information, touted China’s “freedom & transparency”:
Welcome to China anytime and talk to anyone in the streets to enjoy the freedom. BTW Where is freedom & transparency when Captain Crozier was dismissed for a letter to save thousands of lives and medical workers fired for talking about working conditions? pic.twitter.com/l95kYPzTO3

Something tells us Carr’s response wasn’t what the ChiComs had in mind:
Great!
First, I would like to speak with Dr. AI Fen.
She worked at Wuhan Central Hospital and tried to sound the alarm on the virus.
Could you un-disappear her so we could speak?https://t.co/yvxGSKSEk9 https://t.co/mbL08cR4tW

2. Next, I’d like to speak with Chen Qiushi and Fang Bin – two video bloggers that tried to bring the world a glimpse of Wuhan unfiltered by your Communist regime.

3. I’d like to speak with Li Zehua next.
He worked as a journalist in Wuhan and refused to stay silent on Covid. In his last report, he live-streamed his own arrest.

4. I’d then like to speak with Xu Zhiyong.
He was arrested after he criticized your party leader for his botched handling of the coronavirus outbreak.

5. They’re not available for comment? That’s odd.
Then let me speak with Ren Zhiqiang.
He committed the high crime of writing an article criticizing your regime’s attempt to cover up the Covid outbreak.

6. Ok, how about the hero doctor Li Wenliang then?
He was dragged to a police station in the middle of the night and forced to recant the early warning he wanted the world to hear.https://t.co/8B8UNZKHK0

7. Could I speak with Xu Zhangrun?
He’s a law professor in Beijing that wrote an essay titled “Viral Alarm.”
It says what the world knows: your authoritarian regime and censorship hindered efforts to slow Covid’s spread.

8. I’d then like to speak with Xie Linka who worked at Wuhan Union Hospital.
She joined other Wuhan health officials in trying to sound the alarm on Covid before being berated and forced into silence by communist officials.
Can I speak with her?https://t.co/Yx1V3Z3Byk

9. @SpokespersonCHN does your offer still stand? Or has it suddenly disappeared as things tend to do over there?

Devastating. And the ChiComs deserve every bit of it.

We are gonna find out if Coronavirus can withstand high temperatures ?

Damn, Carr… Someone call the fire department.
