The Chinese Coronavirus Party at work:
The covid19 virus that first showed up in Wuhan about six months ago has led to the government decide it would be best to try and convince the world that the virus was not China’s fault while at the same time struggling to deal with the continuing problems the Wuhan virus is causing in Wuhan and elsewhere in China.
Very aggressive diplomacy, even by Chinese standards, is being applied against nations that contradict the Chinese assertions that they were not responsible for covid19, but the Americans were and China has contained the virus inside China. Many Chinese scientists, doctors and people in Wuhan blame their government for failing to recognize the virus risk early on. While China is silencing (via warnings or arrests) many internal critics their views, often including scientific or medical data, gets out.
China continues to suppress news of outbreaks in China.
I'm not happy with the Chinese firehose of falsehood regarding the Xi Jinping Flu.
The Australians are fed up with the Chinese attitude:
Okay, okay, fine. If you want to get all nitpicky, COVID-19 isn’t the Chinese virus. It’s merely the latest Chinese virus. Any number of deadly pandemics have emanated from China for thousands of years, and it will keep on happening as long as the Chinese allow it to happen. But you’re not supposed to say that, because China is full of Chinese people and therefore criticizing them is racist. You’re supposed to ignore facts. You mustn’t tell the truth about why you’re out of a job and worried about getting sick and dying. If you do, your moral, ethical, and intellectual betters will call you names, which they will also do for any other reason.
But not everyone is cowed by China. Not our friends down under, certainly.
And yeah, our media has been shameful carrying the CCP propaganda line for them. Why does our media hate the suffering Chinese people trying to get the truth out so much? Must be racism, straight up.
With any luck the Chinese people realize that the emperor is far, the mountains are high, the Xi Jinping Flu is the CCP's fault.
