Germany’s largest paper to China's president: You're endangering the world
Jerusalem Post ^ | April 20, 2020 | BENJAMIN WEINTHAL

"You [Jinping], your government and your scientists had to know long ago that coronavirus is highly infectious, but you left the world in the dark about it."

BERLIN – The editor-in-chief of Germany’s largest paper Bild on Thursday launched a full frontal attack on China’s communist President Xi Jinping for his regime’s failure to come clean about the (coronavirus) outbreak and the massive human rights violations carried out by the Communist Party.

Julian Reichelt, the prominent editor-in-chief of the Bild, wrote to (Jinping) that “Your embassy in Berlin has addressed me in an open letter because we asked in our newspaper Bild whether China should pay for the massive economic damage the coronavirus is inflicting worldwide.”

He wrote that, "You [Jinping], your government and your scientists had to know long ago that coronavirus is highly infectious, but you left the world in the dark about it. Your top experts didn't respond when Western researchers asked to know what was going on in Wuhan. You were too proud and too nationalistic to tell the truth, which you felt was a national disgrace.”

What did Adam Schiff, chairman of the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence know and when did he know it?

They are getting closer but they just cannot pull the trigger. China stopped travel from Wuhan to the rest of China
but allowed it to the rest of the world in purposeful act to infect the rest of the world. This amounted to launching a germ warfare weapon on the rest of the world.

“What did Adam Schiff, chairman of the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence know and when did he know it?”

Doesn’t matter. He’s going to run the investigation into it and no one will say s***.

Was this the first virus unleashed to the world? If you have a lab with no safety standards, whose to say other viruses escaped, but did not have the lethality of the Wuflu, and was just discounted as another flu? Will we have a decrease in the amount of cold virus in the next year once this Wuflu is conquered, and the Wuhan lab remains closed?
I am just thinking this isn’t the first accident, just one more lethal.

I’ve read parts of the Bild article. At first I thought it was a hoax. It could have been written by the Epoch Times.

Most of you know about the Asian concept of “face”, and “saving face”. Not that it is unknown in Western culture, but it is more important in Asian cultures.

What the Bild article does to Xi is called “breaking face”. Telling them, and more importantly, telling the world, that they are no good, have never been any good, will never be any good, and are the scum of earth who should be treated as a pariah by everyone.

Similar to challenging someone to a duel, it throws down the gauntlet and tells the target that you’re ready to destroy them if they don’t get to you first.

Whether the Bild people know this or not, that is how Xi and the Chinese are likely to perceive it.

Not diplomatic.

It’s for damn sure he didn’t know anything because the all knowing President took extreme precautions to keep him out of the loop

And.....with the German article, President Xi Jinping is the designated world class scapegoat. There has to be blame, there must be blame. President Xi Jinping is the one to blame.

surprised the ChiCom regime didn’t pay off Bild like they do American media

don’t surprised if Bild and other European media have a different tone in a week or two after payments are made.

What did Dr. Fauci (a rabid demoncrat) know and when did he know it? Remember he said on Jan. 20, 2017, before Trump was made President, that the next administration would have to deal with something like this. Most of his staff, if not all, are also rabid demoncrats.

First it was Russia and Herr Mueller that failed, then it was the Ukraine impeachment that failed and now this. Does anyone think the demoncrat party is not capable of this? They think and operate just like the CCP and it wouldn’t be too hard to convince the leaders of China to arrange an accident at their Wuhan lab.

That sums it up for me!

„Es wird eine Zeit geben, in der die Verantwortlichen zur Rechenschaft gezogen werden!“
