Recently in several cities in Shandong Province, despite the forecast of widespread rain and snow, artificial rain and snow enhancement measures were used, leading to snowflakes larger than palm sizes and hail as big as eggs. The snow accumulation in Jinan, Shandong is equivalent to 387 Da Ming Lake. Critics believe that the Chinese Communist Party, disregarding natural laws and public safety, recklessly caused these disasters.
According to a report from NetEase on March 2nd at 10:35 a.m., under the eye-catching title “Alleviating Drought! Four Cities in Shandong Urgently Conduct 20 Rounds of Cloud Seeding Operations, Aircraft Also Deployed,” the process of artificial rain and snow enhancement in Shandong was revealed.
The report stated that Shandong Province has been experiencing below-average precipitation, posing a risk of meteorological drought. With the arrival of widespread cold air and snowy weather, various areas in Shandong urgently carried out artificial rain and snow enhancement operations.
From 5 p.m. on February 28th to 5 p.m. on March 1st, the “Rain Office” in Qingdao organized one aircraft cloud seeding operation, flying for 2.72 hours. The cities of Qingdao, Yantai, Linyi, and Zaozhuang conducted 19 rounds of ground-based artificial rain and snow enhancement operations.
The report also detailed the principles behind this round of artificial rain and snow enhancement operations, attempting to illustrate the CCP’s ability to “battle against the sky.”
In Jinan, Shandong, from 4 a.m. to 9 a.m. on the 2nd, several weather modification shells were launched into the sky to induce rain and snow.
With artificial rain and snow operations conducted in several cities, Shandong experienced widespread rain and snow beginning on March 1st. On March 2nd, Jinan joined the artificial rain and snow mode, leading to heavy snowfall in 10 cities and 49 counties in Shandong, including Jinan, Binzhou, Qingzhou, and Zibo.
According to a report from Qilu Evening News on March 3rd, from 0:00 to 20:00 on March 2nd, the pure snowfall in Jinan was as follows: 29.3 mm in the urban area, 8.7 mm in Changqing District, 19.8 mm in Jiyang District, 21.2 mm in Shanghe County, 26.9 mm in Zhangqiu District, 3.3 mm in Laiwu District, and 3.2 mm in Pingyin County. This snowfall, totaling 4.64 billion cubic meters, is equivalent to 387 Da Ming Lakes.
Despite widespread reporting on the heavy snowfall and red alerts in Shandong and other areas, media outlets in mainland China avoided mentioning the artificial rain and snow operations in at least five cities in Shandong.
On March 2nd, residents in Jinan were astonished, exclaiming, “I have never seen such heavy snow before.” The snowflakes floating in the air were as large as the palm of a hand.
According to a local meteorology influencer, on the early morning of March 2nd, a cold wave invaded the North China Plain from Shanhaiguan. Jinan first experienced heavy rain turning into ice pellets, which then transitioned into snow around noon. The snowfall accumulation reached 30 mm between 12 p.m. and 5 p.m., possibly one of the most severe snowstorms in history.
Shandong faced three disasters in one day. The heavy snow not only paralyzed roads but also inflicted devastating damage on agricultural greenhouses. Many vegetable greenhouses collapsed under the weight of the snow, leading to significant losses for farmers.
A vegetable grower in Shandong expressed disappointment, stating that they had hoped the heavy snow would boost the sluggish vegetable prices, but it turned into a disaster instead.
He elaborated on the impact of the snow on greenhouses, emphasizing the massive weight and the destruction caused. Due to the rain turning into snow with substantial weight, the snowfall crushed the greenhouses, resulting in the crops inside being frozen to death.
He emphasized, “The snow is too heavy; it is a disaster. It may take us a full day to clear the snow from just one greenhouse.”
Zibo in Shandong, another city practicing artificial rain and snow, had clear videos circulating online showcasing the magnitude of the snowfall and its thickness.
At the same time, the heavy snow in the area caused the roof of a market to collapse.
On March 3rd, Jinan issued red alerts for icy roads and heavy snow, leading to the suspension of classes in primary and secondary schools. The snowfall in Jinan amounted to 4.64 billion cubic meters, equivalent to approximately 387 Da Ming Lakes.
A human rights lawyer in China pointed out that the snow disaster in Jinan reflects the consequences of many years of natural disasters compounded by the reckless actions of CCP officials, leading to even greater catastrophes. This recklessness not only shows a lack of intelligence but also underscores the arrogance of those in power.
He emphasized, “These rulers do not respect nature or science; it is a blind arrogance of power. In this mode, natural and man-made disasters in society will only worsen.”
Dr. Chen from Hubei mentioned that the decision to conduct artificial snowfall was hasty, especially when the forecast predicted heavy snow. It shows disregard for the impact on citizens’ mobility. Additionally, locations where artificial snowfall was carried out might have been pre-determined, leading to fixed actions regardless of the forecast.
Apart from Shandong, Henan faced strong winds and heavy rainfall, resulting in house damage, overturned vehicles, transportation disruptions, and severe damage to crops and farms. Greenhouses for fruits and vegetables became a target of the extreme weather.
In Xuchang, Henan, a blogger filmed videos showing the neighborhood inundated by water, jokingly remarking, “This is not Xuchang, Henan; it’s already like the vast sea.”
In Xinxiang, some houses’ rooftops were blown onto the street by the heavy winds, with corrugated iron roofs nearly tearing off. Vehicles on the roads were overturned by the strong winds.
Xiaofeng in Kaifeng, Henan, recorded 54 mm of precipitation on March 2nd, with the rain turning into snow from the afternoon to the night.
Mr. Li in Zhengzhou, Henan, shared his experience of extreme weather, saying, “This morning in Zhengzhou, we also had heavy snow. Although it didn’t last long, the weather was terrible. The strong wind and rapid temperature drop led to snowfall.”
He added, “Many areas are experiencing strong winds and temperature drops. Hunan also had hail. Soon after the New Year, disasters struck. ”
On the same day, enormous hail fell in numerous regions across China, damaging cars, crops, and causing chaos. The country seemed to be plunging into disaster mode.
A resident in Hunan expressed disbelief at the fluctuating temperatures from the mid-twenties to freezing, while Yueyang experienced a drastic shift from 26 degrees to hail in a single day.
In Taojiang County, Hunan Province, a severe storm with heavy rainfall battered the area, leading to poor visibility due to thunderstorms and strong winds. Locals drove cautiously, reminding each other to stay safe.
In Nanchang, Jiangxi, hail fell and thick layers of hail covered the roads, prompting one netizen to exclaim, “This is unbelievable!”
Jiujiang, Jiangxi, also encountered hail, turning the land into a white expanse. In Jingdezhen, Jiangxi, netizens shared videos of thunderstorms and heavy rain, showcasing the chaotic weather conditions.
Zhangzhou, Fujian, experienced particularly large hail, making it challenging to hold up with just one hand.
One netizen expressed concern, “Seeing the hail, I immediately think of the agricultural crops, which will likely have reduced yields or even be completely destroyed. Hailing during the flowering season, has heaven gone angry?!”
In rural Chuzhou, Jiangsu, during a feast, strong winds threatened to lift the greenhouse into the air. Diners collectively held onto the materials around the greenhouse, turning a meal into a flood relief operation.
In Xianning, Hubei, the daytime temperature reached 27°C, and suddenly hail began to fall at night.
China’s issues expert Tang Jingyuan analyzed the extreme weather conditions before the two sessions of the CCP, stating that nearly half of China had entered a state of extreme weather and disaster mode, a phenomenon that was previously rare. He emphasized that behind each natural disaster, the CCP often overlays factors of man-made disasters, stemming from a governance concept that is against nature and society, aimed at combating natural elements.
He stressed that this practice of “combating the heavens” ignores natural, social, and universal laws and is driven by political correctness or party self-interest. This disregard for natural and societal laws leads to what would have been a relatively acceptable natural disaster evolving into a massive catastrophe.
