Remembering Li Wenliang: The ‘whistleblower’ doctor who sounded the COVID alarm

OSTN Staff

Li Wenliang became a folk hero in China after he was revealed to be one of eight whistleblowers who local authorities had punished early on for “spreading rumors” after he had shared information about a SARS-like virus in a social media group.
