China is a giant. The giant is sick

Yu-Tai Chia, February 18, 2020

The giant has two symptoms. One is heart attack by coronavirus and the another is brain damage by political virus.

The brain damage could be detrimental, but the heart attack could make the giant paralyzed. China is not the only one has the brain damage. The United States and the United Kingdom in certain degree also have been suffering from the brain damage. 

The heart attack was formally announced on January 20 ^[1] , just four days ahead of the Chinese New Year Eve after a more than six weeks delay due to the brain damage. Five million out of eleven million escaped from the heart, city of Wuhan, during the coronavirus invasion before the Chinese New Year. 

Almost one year ago Chinese intellectuals shared discoveries of bat coronaviruses in China ^[2] with other countries and warned some kind of attacks may happened to the Chinese by SARS or MERS like coronavirus in the coming years.

Chinese people are blood cells

The disoriented giant notified the World Health Organization on December 31 about the heart attack last year, but somehow ignore its heart being attacked by coronavirus while some cells perished.

Somehow the giant has failed to alert enough to protect its heart.

The giant has been proud of having the best nerve system to surveil every single cell's loyalty ^[3]. Any bad one will be corrected, attacked, or eliminated.

The brain reacted at a meeting on January 7 ^[1 ] on the heart attack, the chief brain cell, Xi Jinping, decided to be clam such that most of the cells could have a happy Chinese New Year.

Eight white blood cells had detected the heart attack symptom and tried to warn the brain in last December ^[4]. But the brain identified the white cells as hostile and retaliated. At the end one of the white blood cells, Dr. Li Wenliang, was eliminated on February 7 as the condition of the giant's heart condition deteriorated. 

Dr. Li Wenliang is not the only victim. Just learned another, Wuhan Wuchang Hospital Director Liu Zhiming, died of coronavirus infection on January 17 ^[5]. Giant’s defense system lost a major general.  

One has to understand how bad the giant's brain damage is. The major problem with the brain damage is that only one brain cell is functional and it dictates the rest of brain cells with poor intelligence. Blood stream is affected by the heart attack and lack of white cells. It, in turn, causes further brain damage. So far the giant's health condition is on a path of downward spiral.

At Baibuting, in city of Wuhan, the heart hosted a 40,000 families potluck ^[6] gathering before the Chinese New Year although the brain already had learned the heart attack. The unusual event under the heart attack is not logical. And it has made people question how severe the brain damage is. Without doubt after the potluck the giant's heart condition further deteriorated.

The blood quality affects transferring required nutrition to the critical part of vital organs. Economic activities are heavily limited due to blood vessel clots, that prevent nutrition transfer. Most nutrition highways have been blocked. Surviving has become a real fight. Annual GDP could plunge. A health report is due in March ^[7]. Analysts are not optimistic about it. The annual GDP growth could plunge to as low as 4.9 per cent or less.

The giant’s health not only affects itself, but also to its neighbors as well as those friendly with the giants.

That heart attack is the first time in history that has transmitted to anyone has close contact with the giant. Those affected could become another center of infection, if not isolated in a timely manner.

The self-indulgent giant has been in narcissistic personality disorder since it was young. It is afraid of facing any mirrors. A mirror exposes its imperfect appearance. When Mr. Walter Russell Mead put a mirror at front of the giant ^[8]. It retaliated by expelling three reporters from the Wall Street Journal ^[9].

The disorder was first time diagnosed in 1958 when it launched the great leap forward^[10]. Dutch historian Frank Dikötter estimates that at least 2.5 million cells were beaten or tortured to death and one million to three million committed suicide.

Sadly, it did not learn from the tragic great leap forward from 1958 to 1962. Brain cells four years later started power struggle by launching another devastating the great proletarian cultural revolution ^[11]. It not only made the giant stop regular education for ten long years, but also caused severe health problem to a degree jeopardizing its live. The casualties are difficult to estimate since no documents available during the revolution. Best estimation ranges from hundreds of thousands to 20 million ^{[12][13]14][15][16][17]}. 

The laundry list is too long to detail every single one. The early events just show the giant health deterioration has a notorious historical background.

The giant needs to learn how to behave to protect itself. The first and the foremost important is to get its mental health back. It needs world collective and constructive efforts, not just quarantine.
