The unforgettable year 2020 that filled the pages of dark history

Updated: Jul 8, 2020

 
1. The Origin of 2019 pandemic remains a mystery:

The virus which has caused an unprecedented amount of damage, yet its origin remains an unsolved puzzle. What it will take to trace where SARS-CoV-2 has come from, whether animal or a lab escape. Probably no one knows, and the fact that there are no bat viruses found so far that is similar enough to SARS-CoV-2 which can suggest it to be a direct ancestor. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the question of where the coronavirus came from has left scientists puzzled.

2. Indo-China clash over the Border in China Occupied Ladakh (CoL)

First deadly clash since 1975, around 20 soldiers have died in the disputed area of the Himalayan border during a confrontation between Indian and Chinese troops.

3. Hong Kong’s Freedom has been snatched away by the new law of China

China has recently passed a new security law for Hong Kong, which allows the communist party to have total control over the city's autonomy. Some of the key provisions of the new law which can be dangerous for the people of Hong Kong includes: some trials to be carried out in mainland China, closed-door trials, suspects can be wire-tapped and put under surveillance.

4. Reported cases of Bubonic Plague from China

The health officials of China issued a warning for Bubonic Plague after a report on a suspected case of bubonic plague from the city Bayan Nur. An individual of a 27-year-old resident who devoured on marmot meat.

5. A new strain of H1N1 virus found in China

In a study, researchers found a new strain of influenza virus, G4 strain containing DNA from the H1N1 strain, the root cause of 2009's pandemic. The scientists also found that G4 has jumped to humans, with two active infections.

6. Racism has taken the life of George Floyd 

A former Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin kneeled on the neck of George Floyd for almost nine minutes, leading to the death of Floyd. After he was killed, thousands have had hit the road for the movement to reform policing, and the Black Lives Matter movement. The former President Barack Obama wrote, "For millions of Americans, being treated differently on account of race is tragically, painfully, maddeningly 'normal.'"

Among all these incidents, what we can conclude is that the majority of these problems have emerged from China. The Chinese president should have a sound knowledge about how the citizens of China feel about him. It is quite a fact that most of the Chinese people are ashamed of their leader, and they fear for their life to talk openly. But why are they ashamed of, apparently because China has been given the winning tag as a country known for the most treacherous, deceitful and of course for its substandard products- like the medical equipment that it has sent to other countries as an aid. Perhaps, the citizens of China deserves a new leader than the one who has failed tremendously and bought misery to the country.
