Coronavirus and China's Missing Citizen Journalists

Three Chinese citizen journalists have gone missing in recent months.

The most recent Chinese citizen journalist to suffer this fate was Li Zehua.

Unlike their parents' and grandparents' generations, today's young Chinese have no living memories of the atrocities that the Chinese Communist Party has committed since 1949.

Today's young Chinese grew up with little to no awareness of what has happened, not knowing that the glorious Communist China sits on the corpses of millions of innocent people.

The social contract the Chinese government has offered to them - limited freedom in exchange for stability and prosperity - appears to have worked out well for almost every citizen.

The death of Dr. Li Wenliang, one of the handful of early whistleblowers on the coronavirus outbreak, awakened many Chinese, especially the young.

Li is the third Chinese citizen journalist detained by Chinese authorities since the start of the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan.
