[The Epoch Times, May 3, 2022](Reported by Xu Yiyang and Wang Jiayi, reporters from the Epoch Times Special Department) The CCP state media has recently made a big claim that Beijing’s “health treasure” has been attacked by an overseas network. Analysts believe that there are many questions behind the news.
The Beijing “Health Treasure” applet is a small tool that allows individuals to inquire about their own health status related to epidemic prevention. The query results can be used as a reference for health status in scenarios such as resumption of production, work, and community access.
On April 28, at the Beijing epidemic prevention and control work conference, Wei Bin, deputy director of the External Information Department of the Propaganda Department of the Beijing Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China, said that on the same day, Beijing Healthbao suffered a network attack during the peak period of use, and the source came from abroad. The report also stated that during the Beijing Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympics, Beijing Healthbao also suffered similar cyber attacks.
Afterwards, the CCP’s official media continued to publish articles, saying that the attack on Beijing Jianjianbao “has a very strong purpose and organization”, and that the overseas cyber attack on Beijing Jianjianbao “is a malicious disturbance to the overall situation of China’s anti-epidemic”, and that this is a “give to the public”. Beijing’s epidemic prevention and control work has added chaos, which in turn disrupts the overall situation of China’s epidemic prevention and control.”
Xia Yifan, an expert on China issues, said in an interview with The Epoch Times on April 30 that this is the CCP calling a thief to catch a thief. “It’s just that the CCP is preparing ammunition to control the health treasure.” He said, “Looking at the CCP’s control methods historically, most of the CCP’s excuses are the actions of ‘foreign forces’, and it has never been responsible for it.”
Xia Yifan said that in the 1960s China starved to death tens of millions of people, which foreign forces did it? Which foreign forces did the Cultural Revolution? The Tiananmen Square Incident on June 4 killed so many students, and which foreign force did it? This is all done by the CCP itself. When a problem occurs, the CCP not only never reflects on it or pursues responsibility, but also solves the person who raised the problem, and transfers the responsibility to foreign forces. However, the CCP has done too much of this kind of thing, and no one believes it anymore.
Epoch Times political commentator Zhou Xiaohui said in a commentary published on the Epoch Times website on April 29 that the Beijing authorities took the initiative to expose the incident on the day of the incident, which raised many questions.
The article stated that the CCP official this time only vaguely claimed that the cyber attack originated from abroad, and did not point the finger at “Western hostile forces” or “Western anti-China forces” as before. In addition, IP addresses can be completely disguised, and where exactly the attack came from remains a mystery.
Secondly, such news should be issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Communist Party of China, and this time it was released by a deputy director of the propaganda department of the municipal party committee, which shows that the Beijing authorities’ move is to divert attention, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs cannot make a big fuss. That is to say, it cannot be ruled out that the source of the attack came from within China.
The article also stated that the CCP authorities have not disclosed whether the personal private information of the public has been leaked, whether the green code and red code of the citizens have been tampered with, and whether the nucleic acid data of users has been changed. What’s the point of a “big picture” cyber attack?
In addition, the CCP official claimed that Beijing Healthbao had been subjected to similar cyber attacks during the Beijing Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympics, but did not announce the attack at that time, and only mentioned it until now, which seems to be tricky. In addition, many cities in China have their own “health treasures”, but Beijing Health treasures were attacked. The article questioned whether this was done by “hostile forces” abroad or by some domestic forces?
The article believes that the so-called “Western hostile forces” and “anti-China forces” claimed by the CCP disdain to do this kind of meaningless thing, while the CCP has a bad track record in this regard, frequently launching cyber attacks on Western countries and stealing business information. , military industrial intelligence, and even the identity information of nationals of other countries.
The article mentioned that Ye Jingzi, the granddaughter of CCP veteran Ye Jianying, recently confirmed on Weibo that Shanghai’s epidemic prevention was “a deliberate disturbance” and that “the loss is greater than Ukraine’s.” The article believes that the chaos in Shanghai under the epidemic is related to the disruption of the “Shanghai Gang” officials headed by Jiang Zemin, the former leader of the Communist Party of China, and Zeng Qinghong, the former member of the Standing Committee of the Politburo.
The article stated that with the outbreak of the epidemic in Beijing, the people of Beijing also fell into panic, and the Jiang faction took the opportunity to attack Beijing Jiankangbao, which could not only “disrupt the overall situation of China’s epidemic prevention”, but also have the ability to carry out attacks. This is probably because the Beijing authorities do not Dare to clearly state the reasons for the attacker. This also means that before the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the wrestling at the top is more diverse and cruel.
