Beijing dismissed some of the top health officials in Wuhan and Hubei earlier this week, and last week it administered administrative punishments to hundreds of lower-level bureaucrats.
Earlier in the week, Chinese media and the South China Morning Post, a newspaper in Hong Kong, reported that the Communist Party was preparing to punish the two top party officials in Hubei over their botched response to the Covid-19 outbreak.
Of course, local officials have repeatedly claimed that their hands were tied by the national party, as President Xi and his inner circle were paranoid about the news getting out and jeopardizing China's ambitious growth targets.
Because on Thursday morning, the Communist Party officially fired the top party officials in the province over his handling of the epidemic.
Ma Guoqiang, the top party official in Wuhan whose name is probably familiar to those who have been closely following the situation in the city, has also been fired.
Dr. Li has become a martyr across China, and the Communist Party needed to find a way to distance itself from his death, or risk more widespread "Instability."
China's government is trying to spin the virus response as a test of China's strength.
