![Unravelling Chinas sinister plan to unleash coronavirus
CORRECTIONS:
Someone pointed out that the photo that Amazon shows of the book The Unnatural Origin of SARS and New Species of Man-Made Viruses as Genetic Bioweapons in its ad is the wrong photo. Its Amazons error, and doesnt affect the substance of the book, but worth pointing out all the same.
SOURCES:
A number of people asked why there is no source for my claim that China censors the media. Ive been reporting out of China for 30 years, and I guess I take it for granted that the things I experienced first-hand are now well known, even by those who have never been working journalists there. So here are a few sources, starting with the Reporters Without Borders ranking of countries in terms of press freedom, which ranks the PCR (China) 177th out of 180:
https://rsf.org/en/ranking
The 2021 RSF report says:
[S]tate and privately-owned media organizations are all strictly controlled by the Communist Party. By making extensive use of the latest technology, President Xi Jinping has succeeded in imposing a social model based on the control of news and information and the surveillance of citizens. Of the 100-plus journalists and bloggers now in prison, some held in life-threatening conditions, at least three journalists and three political commentators have been arrested in connection with the pandemic. The government has also tightened its grip on social networks, censoring many key words linked to coronavirus. The crackdown on foreign correspondents has been tightened with 16 being expelled since the start of the year.

https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/347890903
Amazingly, several posts rejected my claim that news outlets in China are often ordered to follow the government line. If you really need a source for that, it is my 30 years of reporting from China.
If you would like a more authoritative source than my own reporting, try https://rsf.org/en/ranking, which puts China at 177th place out of 180 countries in terms of press freedom.

![Did Greta Thunberg slip up?
I have been asking subscribers for examples of an error by Greta Thunberg for over five years. Now I think Ive found one. But it was buried under a pile of fabrications and even worse errors by her critics. A definite own goal.
ERRORS SUGGESTED BY POSTERS:
Following my request for more Thunberg errors, here are a couple of posts I received:
1) @lemdixon01wrote: We only have 5 years left tweet in 2016 deleted I could find no record of this tweet, so I asked the poster where he got this from. He wrote back: I dont care about exactly what the tweet said. This kind of emphasises the point I made in the video, that a lot of Thunberg quotes are just people making stuff up.
2) @ShuffleboardJerk writes that he 100% support[s] Greta but he did find an error: “About 100 companies emits [sic] approximately 71% of our total emissions of CO2.” - Greta Thunberg, 2019
I checked, and this is indeed a quote, and Thunberg was incorrect in saying it. The figure comes from a study that identified 100 companies that produce fossil fuels, mostly oil companies and coal mining companies. But they are not burning their own product, simply supplying it, and therefore are not emitting CO2, as Thunberg claims. Not only that, one of the companies was listed as China, the other Russia. These are not companies, they are countries. So the figure is wrong and misleading.
It is interesting that none of Thunbergs critics could find an error, they simply made up quotes or passed on a myth they read. It took an admirer of Thunberg to have the intelligence to find something, check its veracity, quote it correctly, and then have the honesty and objectiveness to post it publicly. That says a lot.
