There are many other reasons to it. Plenty of others, much more reasonable and logical reasons. If the only one you come up with is « the Chinese government decided to release a deadly virus to get rid of them » then I suggest you to search for help.

drol 11,927 Posted December 25, 2022 Reasons are apparent. After two years of zero covid policy, all policies were abruptly released and virus diffusion skyrocketed. Sinovac is not that effective and percentage of vaccinated people is low. A huge number of elders hanging in by a thread makes the rest. I still think COVID swept a wing of some Bejing hospital for academics, as it happened for nursing homes in the west. Everything was just delayed rather than avoided. Still the vast majority of our favorite longevity freaks will survive this with no harm. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, they've released covid19 from laboratory and USA has laboratories for biological weapons all over the world so I think it's logical to assume that they're about to release a deadlier virus because both China and USA have been in crisis for some time. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arghton 6,701 Posted December 25, 2022 China has used a lot of money and resources to keep them alive, they get the best medical care in the world. Wan Haifeng was very ill two years ago at 100 and looked dead in pictures. Still alive. Zou Yu was gravely ill at 97 in 2017. Still alive. Hu Qili was gravely ill and dying at 89 in 2018. Still alive. Zhang Lixiong was very ill for months in 2020 at 107. Gained 10 kilograms back and recovered. There are lots of similar examples. Also, nearly all the other living Long March vets are getting similar, likely state-funded care. Why would they suddenly decide they want to kill them off, and with some mysterious "more deadly virus" made to kill old Chinese people? Simply a stupid mistake by the Chinese govt. Your theories sound almost as odd as the ones from the Falun Gong-owned medias 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On Major General ZL, he's apparently recently been interviewed recently and there are some images and parts of the interview on weibo (link) but not the actual whole interview. Apparently he wishes that "young people would defeat covid" or something. (Could be, likely, probably, maybe referring to the 80-something, 90-something academics, Tong Tanjun and the others died prematurely) If this is actually new, he looks amazing compared to what he looked like a year ago.
