China Passes Biosecurity Law To Protect Virus Whistleblowers

The video discusses China's new biosecurity law, approved by the National People's Congress Standing Committee, aimed at preventing infectious diseases by protecting whistleblowers. The law was fast-tracked following criticism of China's initial coronavirus response. It includes punishments for concealing information and establishes risk prevention systems. The case of Dr. Li Wenliang, who warned about the coronavirus and later died, sparked public outrage and highlighted the need for such legislation. The law will be effective from April 4, as China continues efforts to curb the pandemic.
