We cannot trust the Chinese government to be honest and forthright about the virus. If they did that they would be losing face.
RE: The virus came from China, therefore POTUS Trump was right to call it the China virus.
If one were to follow the history of this pandemic, one will discover that the term “China Virus” was not used by Trump until the Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Zhao Li Jian started propagating a conspiracy theory that went viral on social media — that the Coronavirus was brought to China by American athletes who participated in the Wuhan Military Games in October 2019.
This angered Trump. He started using the term “China Virus” since then. The CCP higher ups actually backtracked on this theory.
They wanted/needed to bolster the image of the virus as a killer and released proganda vids of cities locking down, doors welded shut, people dropping dead in the streets, check points, dog catcher nets for "runners" while still flying their own subjects all over the world.
The Test passed with better than expected results.
