China has taken its party system way too seriously, when it has been revealed that it actually has specific party representation through a consortium of parties that fall under the state control. These party links have been traced back to Indian Consulate in Shanghai and seven such representations have been revealed through a trusted source to the media in India.
Apparently, a Chinese state-owned recruitment agency was roped in to provide such employment that has presence not just in India but in other parts of the world too. The Communist Party in China functions through the system of branches. Many big corporations in China function through committees.
The source has also confirmed the presence of atleast 79,000 CPC branches. It lists over 1.95 million people as CPC members, which is about 2.1 percent of the estimated total CPC membership base of 92 million. According to trusted sources, it has been confirmed that these CPC members are employed with multinational corporations across banking, defence, pharmaceutical and financial sectors. The companies include ANZ, HSBC, Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Volkswagen and Boeing.
This just means there is no information that is not reaching Beijing and that hidden espionage cannot be ruled out. Alteast seven CPC branches have Indian connections with almost 90plus membership. Currently, there are as many as 30 Chinese representative working in various foreign consulates through the services of Chinese state-owned Foreign Agency Service Department. Earlier on in the year, it was discovered that China was trying to hack into the telecommunication links of India via Chinese telecom and IT companies that were selling spare parts to India. Cases of cyber phishing through dubious hardware were reported. The Centre then levied a ban on any Chinese spare parts to be picked by Indian counterparts without due diligence.
A team of ten international scientists will be in Wuhan in January to research the origins of Covid-19. The World Health Organization (WHO) announced a few minutes ago, as reported by the American BBC that affirms the mission was expected to last four or five weeks.
China did not oppose an independent investigation. But the WHO had to negotiate for many months to gain access to the city. It is there that the coronavirus epidemic began, probably in the “wet market” of live animals of all kinds, a dynamic that is the subject of the research of the team of experts. Scientists believe, in fact, this was where it made the leap from animals to humans.
According to a biologist who will be part of the team, Fabian Leendertz of the Robert Koch Institute, "it's not about finding a guilty country" but about trying to understand what happened and then see if, based on this data, the world can reduce the risk in the future.
Reports in the Chinese media lately suggested that Covid-19 could have started outside China, maybe in Italy, where a case could be found in a child medical record of November 2019.
But critics assume the reports are without foundation, and the Chinese campaign may reflect the anxiety of Beijing's leadership about damage to the country's international reputation from the pandemic.
Of course I would move after the virus but I've been interested in moving to Asia recently.
