Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Implies US Military Brought Coronavirus to Wuhan
The Diplomat ^ | March 13, 2020 | Ankit Panda

As the Chinese government has gotten a grip on its breakout of the 2019 coronavirus disease, or COVID-19, internal narratives have been shifting. Having initially declared a “people’s war” on the disease, Chinese President Xi Jinping, clad in a facemask, went to Wuhan this week— the city where the virus, known as SARS-nCoV-2, is thought to have had its zoonotic genesis.

On Thursday, Lijian Zhao, an official spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, took to Twitter to insinuate that “it might be US army who brought the epidemic to Wuhan.” Zhao, no stranger to Twitter controversy, added that the United States should “be transparent” and “make public your date.” The “US owe us an explanation,” he added.

That message was then taken up by Chinese diplomats overseas. For example, the Chinese ambassador to South Africa, repeated that line. Messaging underplaying the suspected zoonotic origins of the disease in China’s Hubei province were combined with a celebration of China’s national response and its implications for the world: “China’s endeavor to combating the epidemic has bought time for int’l preparedness,” the Chinese foreign ministry suggested this week.

From the CCP spokesperson's twitter:

CDC was caught on the spot. When did patient zero begin in US? How many people are infected? What are the names of the hospitals? It might be US army who brought the epidemic to Wuhan. Be transparent! Make public your data! US owe us an explanation!

Some #influenza deaths were actually infected with #COVID-19, Robert Redfield from US #CDC admitted at the House of Representatives. US reported 34 million cases of influenza and 20,000 deaths. Please tell us how many are related to COVID-19? @CDCDirector

What bullshit. If Patient 0 was infected here, how come our cases only started to show up after we imported them from China?

In other words, “Our PLA biowarfare lab in Wuhan messed up. Oh, look — a squirrel!”

Covering up the fact that it was released in Wuhan to test the effectiveness and then released strategically in Italy and the USA to do exactly what it is doing. Prove me wrong.

If it turns out the deep state was trying to get us into a war with China, it wouldn’t surprise me.

As much damage as this has done to us economically, it must be completely destroying the chinese economy.

Sounds like an act of war. Did China just declare war against the United States? They might want to rethink their disinformation campaign.

Tokyo Rose must be getting a belly laugh.

Heard a head guy at his port in the US say arrivals from China are down about 25% there. That’s just one port.
