Xu published an essay with tittle ” Viral Alarm: When Fury overcomes Fear “, blaming about culture of deception and censorship by Xi for spread of Coronavirus in China.

“The cause of all of these lies, ultimately, is the axle – a reference to Xi – and the cabal that surrounds him,” Xu wrote in the essay.
“China is led by one man only, but this man is in the dark and rules tyrannically, with no method for governance, though he is skilled at playing with power, causing the entire country to suffer.” Xu wrote in February.

“According to his friends, his wife said she received a phone call from police saying that he had been arrested for soliciting prostitution,” Clarke said.
“His friends say he had been put under house arrest in Beijing a few days before – between June 30 and July 4 – so they had gone to his house to welcome his release, but as a result, they found that he had already been arrested.”
