China’s Covid Nightmare Returns: A Warning on Repeating Failed Policies, By Brian Simpson

China's latest Covid-19 wave, driven by the XBB sub-lineage and the NB.1.8.1 variant, has plunged the nation back into a cycle of fear, control, and deception. Schools in provinces like Guangzhou, Shaanxi, and Jiangsu are suspending classes and isolating students, while hospitals quietly manage overwhelming cases and unreported deaths. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) continues to enforce draconian measures, lockdowns, forced quarantines, and censorship, despite years of evidence showing their futility. This resurgence, detailed in a June 3, 2025, report by Natural News, raises a critical question: will humanity ever learn from these repeated mistakes?

The CCP's response mirrors its failed "zero-Covid" strategy from 2020. Leaked notices reveal students isolated for testing positive, hospitals overwhelmed with severe cases, and mobile cabin hospitals being constructed under a veil of secrecy. Doctors like Dr. Kang Hong, speaking anonymously, report symptoms far worse than a common cold, including "white lung syndrome," a hallmark of severe Covid-19 damage. Residents describe sudden deaths and prolonged illnesses, yet official statistics remain suspiciously low, echoing the regime's history of data manipulation.

This is not just a Chinese problem, it's a global warning. The XBB and NB.1.8.1 variants have been detected in travellers abroad, raising concerns about unchecked spread due to China's lack of transparency. The World Health Organization, often deferential to Beijing, labels these variants as merely "under monitoring." Meanwhile, the CCP's refusal to admit failure perpetuates a cycle of suffering: lockdowns destroy lives, censorship silences truth, and mass vaccinations correlate with persistent illness rather than resolution.

The lesson here is stark. Totalitarian measures, whether in China or elsewhere, like Victoria, do not control viruses; they amplify harm. Lockdowns disrupt economies and mental health, forced vaccinations raise questions about efficacy and safety, and censorship stifles the debate needed for scientific progress. Yet, globally, leaders have been slow to challenge China's approach or acknowledge its failures. The silence of nations once compliant with similar policies suggests a troubling reluctance to confront the evidence: these strategies don't work.

History offers parallels. The 1918 Spanish Flu saw overzealous public health measures that often exacerbated social and economic damage without clear benefits. More recently, the global response to Covid-19 showed how fear-driven policies can outlast their usefulness, with lockdowns and mandates lingering despite mounting evidence of their limitations. China's current path, doubling down on failed tactics, risks another disaster, not just for its people but for a world still vulnerable to viral spread and policy missteps.

Will humanity learn? The answer depends on whether we value evidence over control. Science thrives on transparency, debate, and adaptation, not suppression. China's Covid nightmare underscores the need to reject authoritarian approaches and demand accountability. Until global leaders and citizens challenge these patterns, the cycle of suffering will persist, proving that the real virus is not just biological, it is the elites who push the viral political agenda.

"As the world moves on from the pandemic era, China remains trapped in a cycle of fear, control, and deception. A new wave of COVID-19 infections, driven by the XBB sub-lineage of the omicron strain, has swept through mainland China, prompting schools to isolate students and hospitals to quietly bury the truth. Despite years of draconian lockdowns, forced vaccinations, and relentless propaganda, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has failed to contain the virus — yet it continues to enforce the same failed policies, hiding the true toll of infections and deaths from its own people and the world.

Key points:

Schools in multiple provinces are suspending classes and forcing students into quarantine, sparking fears of renewed lockdowns.

Doctors and residents report severe symptoms and deaths far exceeding official CCP statistics, which have long been unreliable.

The regime is quietly constructing mobile cabin hospitals while publicly downplaying the outbreak to avoid economic disruption.

The XBB sub-lineage, including strains XBB.1.9, XBB.1.5, and Arcturus XBB.1.16, dominates infections, yet authorities refuse transparency.

Neighboring countries detect the same variants in travelers, raising concerns about unchecked global spread due to China's secrecy.

The return of medical tyranny: Students locked down, families silenced

Reports from Guangzhou, Shaanxi, and Jiangsu reveal a disturbing trend: Schools are once again isolating children under the guise of pandemic control. A leaked quarantine notice from a Guangzhou primary school, circulated on Douyin before being censored, showed a third-grade student forced into a seven-day isolation after testing positive. Similar measures have been imposed in other regions, with feverish students sent home—echoing the darkest days of China's "zero-COVID" madness.

But this is not 2020. The world now knows that lockdowns do not stop viruses — they only destroy lives. Yet the CCP, addicted to control, refuses to admit failure. Instead, it suppresses dissent, censors social media, and manipulates data to maintain the illusion of competence.

Dr. Kang Hong, a Guangzhou clinic physician speaking under a pseudonym, told The Epoch Times that symptoms in this wave are "far more severe than the common cold," including white lung syndrome — a hallmark of COVID-19 damage. Hospitals use testing programs that fuel the pandemonium, leading government officials to take totalitarian actions to isolate people and further the social panic as protocols and mandates further the damage.

A regime of lies: Deaths hidden, doctors silenced

The CCP's COVID deception is nothing new. Since 2020, it has systematically under-counted infections and deaths during Wuhan's initial wave, while concealing excess deaths after the population was mass vaccinated. Residents across China report sudden deaths, prolonged illnesses, and hospitals overwhelmed — yet official figures remain suspiciously low, as medical atrocities and mass immune system destruction of the population becomes a topic too contentious, the issue must be censored from discussion.

Mr. Xu, a Liaoning Province resident, described friends and relatives suffering relentless symptoms that "cannot be cured by medicine at all." He noted a spike in sudden deaths among middle-aged adults — a pattern ignored by state media. Meanwhile, in Inner Mongolia, clinic owner Liu Kun warned of an "explosive growth" of cases in June and July, with patients battling coughs, vomiting, and diarrhea for months. This is a population that has been heavily vaccinated, multiple times, subject to masking and isolation procedures for years.

Five years of restrictions and mass vaccinations have led to more disease

The NB.1.8.1 variant, now dominant in China, has already been detected in travelers abroad. Yet the World Health Organization (WHO), ever-compliant to Beijing, downplays the threat, calling it merely a "variant under monitoring."

Why the cover-up? Because admitting failure would shatter the CCP's myth of infallibility. Instead, the regime quietly prepares for more lockdowns, building mobile hospitals while publicly insisting the outbreak is "under control."

Sadly, China's totalitarian lockdowns, unlawful mandates, and isolation procedures have become the standard globally. While other nations have slowly halted draconian policies, none are willing to hold China accountable for their continued human rights abuses. No nation has challenged China's pandemic lies or its brutal lockdowns. No leader has demanded transparency or pointed out the flaws of global medical experimentation. Instead, global elites continue to parrot the same failed strategies — vaccine mandates, censorship, and bio-terror — proving they've learned nothing. To make matters worse, populations that once complied but have realized the damage of China's policies, have grown eerily quiet on these issues.

China's COVID nightmare is a warning: Totalitarianism and medical tyranny doesn't work. It only brings suffering. And until the world wakes up and actually does something about this pattern of abuse, the cycle will only continue.
