Liu Xiaobo, the 2017 Chinese Nobel Peace Prize winner, suffered from advanced liver cancer and became "critically ill" on 10th July 2017. Two doctors from Germany and the United States and their medical institutions jointly issued a statement on 9th July 2017, stating that Liu Xiaobo could go abroad for medical treatment and they were preparing to receive Liu Xiaobo. And Liu Xiaobo had made it clear to foreign doctors that he wanted to go abroad for treatment. Chinese Communist Pay didn't permit it. The case was regarded as murder.
It was proved by the article Effect of ethanol extracts from Polygonum multiflorum Thunb on expressions of signal pathway TLR4/TRIF/IRF-3 in LPS induced rats liver posted in 2016 that Quan-Jun Wang’s research found that Poylgonum multiflorum Thunb can cause liver damage induced by lipopolysaccharide, the hepatotoxicity is related to the positive regulation of TLR4/IRF-3 signalling pathways, which is not related to the dosage of Poylgonum multiflorum Thunb. The results show that activating TLR4/IRF3 signalling pathway is one of the mechanisms of liver injury of Poylgonum multiflorum Thunb induced by lipopolysaccharide. It was inferred that Chinese Communist Party has been researching drugs that could cause injury to liver.As reported by Lude Media, the process of Liu Xiaobo being murdered is as follows: Liu Xiaobo was a carrier of hepatitis B virus and had never developed any symptoms. Occasionally he felt uncomfortable in the stomach and intestines, but he recovered soon after taking the medicine. In order to kill Liu Xiaobo according to Xi Jinping's request, Chen Wenqing, secretary of the Chinese Communist Party Committee of the National Security Bureau, changed doctors. The new doctor prescribed stomach medicine for Liu Xiaobo, which caused Liu Xiaobo's asthma. The doctor installed an air purifier and humidifier in Liu Xiaobo's room. In 2016, Liu Xiaobo suddenly felt uncomfortable in his upper abdomen. In June 2017, the prison conducted a physical examination on Liu Xiaobo and found a suspected tumor in his liver. So Liu Xiaobo was released on medical parole to the First Affiliated Hospital of Shenyang, China First Medical University, where hepatologist Wang Bingyuan conducted a careful medical examination on Liu Xiaobo. Wang Bingyuan privately told his students that liver cancer was not caused by hepatitis B and there was excessive liver damage. Wang Bingyuan had seen an armed policeman who suffered from liver damage and liver cancer due to long-term exposure to carbon tetrachloride. It is highly possible that carbon tetrachloride caused Liu Xiaobo's liver damage. The doctor Chen Wenqing asked to replace was An Jingzhe. After Liu Xiaobo's death, An Jingzhe returned to the prison and found that all the air purifiers and humidifiers used by Liu Xiaobo before his death were sealed away and destroyed by the prison party committee. The humidifiers had an obvious aroma of carbon tetrachloride. When Liu Xiaobo died of liver cancer on 13th July 2017, he was not allowed to leave any DNA samples and was buried hastily at sea.
