Truth : Zhang Zhijie Did Not Die From Heart Attack!

This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Zhang Zhijie Died From Cardiac Arrest

Let me start by pointing out that Zhang Zhijie (also known as Zhang Zhi Jie) did not die suddenly from a fatal heart attack.

On Sunday, June 30, 2024, Zhang Zhi Jie was playing against Kazuma Kawano of Japan, in the Badminton Asia Junior Championships in Yogyakarta, Indonesia; when he suddenly collapsed and started convulsing on court.

Zhang was taken to the hospital, but by the time he arrived, he was no longer breathing, and no longer had a pulse. He was treated for about three hours, before being taken to a second hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 11:20 PM the same day.

Indonesia’s badminton association held a press conference on 1 July, in which spokesperson Broto Happy said that Zhang Zhi Jie died from a sudden cardiac arrest.

The conclusions of the examination and treatment of the victim from two hospitals show the same results, the victim experienced sudden cardiac arrest.

To be clear – two hospitals treated and examined Zhang Zhijie, and they both concluded that he died from a sudden cardiac arrest, not a heart attack.

Fact #2 : Unknown If Zhang Zhijie Was Vaccinated Against COVID-19

Due to the high vaccination rate in China, it is very likely that Zhang Zhijie was vaccinated against COVID-19. However, there isn’t any actual evidence that Zhang received the COVID-19 vaccine.

It is possible that Zhang Zhijie was unvaccinated against COVID-19, because the COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in China.

Ironically, many people who were injured or died suddenly were actually unvaccinated, like Kris Jordan, Aaron Carter, Kirstie Alley, Stephan Bonnar, Grayson Murray, Shane Macaulay, David Wayne Burleson, and Kaden Clymer.

Until and unless he (or his family) reveals his COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who tells you that Zhang Zhijie was vaccinated or otherwise, is likely lying to you. None of us know that.

Fact #3 : Zhang Zhijie Is Not Zhang Zhizhen

I should also point out that Zhang Zhijie is a 17 year-old Chinese badminton player. He is not Zhang Zhizhen (also known as Zhang Zhi Zhen), who is a 27 year-old Chinese tennis player.

The People’s Voice appears to have confused the two Chinese athletes, who play different sports and don’t even remotely look the same…

Instead of using a photo of Zhang Zhijie playing badminton, The People’s Voice article used a photo of Zhang Zhizhen playing tennis!

Even though their cover image cropped out the tennis ball, it is obvious that the man below (Zhang Zhizhen) is holding a tennis racquet, not a badminton racquet.

Fact #4 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Fake News

The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.

Founded as Your News Wire in 2014, it was rebranded as NewsPunch in November 2018, before becoming The People’s Voice. A 2017 BuzzFeed report identified NewsPunch as the second-largest source of popular fake news on Facebook that year.

Its articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should never share anything from NewsPunch / The People’s Voice.  Here are some of its fake stories that I fact checked earlier:
