SUSPECTED OF DISTURBING PUBLIC ORDER: Sounds like a charge Adam Schiff would level at Deven Nunes. Or Instapundit. Chinese citizen journalist Li Zehua was actually detained and quarantined for allegedly disturbing public order.

From the BBC:

Li Zehua is a citizen journalist who went to Wuhan in February, after another journalist, Chen Qiushi, went missing. In his first video from Wuhan he explained why we was there.

“Before I entered Wuhan, a friend who worked in the Chinese mainstream media told me… all the bad news about the epidemic has been collected by the central government.

“The local media can only report the good news about the patients’ recovery and so on. Of course, it remains uncertain whether that’s true, because this is just what I heard from my friends.”

His stories included an alleged cover-up of infections, and a busy crematorium. They were watched millions of times on Chinese platforms, YouTube, and Twitter.

Read about his dreadful February 26. Li has reappeared. Other citizen journalists have not, including Chen.

RELATED: The saga of Dr. Li Wenliang, who died of Wuhan virus on February 6, is a revealing and brutal introduction to the CCP’s Public Security Bureau. If you haven’t read it by now (I linked to it yesterday and again this morning), my latest Creators Syndicate column essays the CCP’s Imperial World Order. The sagas of Dr. Li and citizen journalist Li demonstrate the CCP-IWO is just another tyrannical police state. Except it’s got cash and operates a global agitation-propaganda network that can slick Western media sensationalists and other useful idiots.
