The Chinese government has waged a months-long disinformation campaign to portray itself as the country that defeated the virus, when it attempted to hide it for months.
At midnight on Friday, China closed its borders to the rest of the world as it tries to stop a resurgence of the coronavirus.
The move was the culmination of a months-long PR and disinformation campaign waged by the Chinese government to rewrite the history of a pandemic that has spread to almost every corner of the planet, killed more than 34,000 people, and infected almost three-quarters of a million.
China initially ignored the outbreak that first surfaced in Wuhan in early December, silencing doctors who tried to raise the alarm before eventually enacting a draconian and restrictive lockdown that impacted 50 million people.
But the Communist Party of China (CCP) is now seeking to portray itself not as the country that allowed the coronavirus to spread unchecked for weeks but as the country that has defeated the virus and is now on hand to save the rest of the world.
To do this, the Chinese government has employed a unique mixture of tactics including disinformation, soft power, conspiracy theories, and even a book that tells the heroic story of China’s victory over coronavirus — all of which are designed to reframe the narrative around the virus and Beijing’s role in allowing it to get out of control in the first place.

And here I thought Hollywood would be doing this for them. After all they collectively kiss China’s ass.
I will redouble my efforts to never buy anything from China.
I hope this makes people start up businesses here and takes some revenue back from china. It would most likely be higher quality and have less shipping charges.
They can give away free Chinese’s food delivery but I knew they sucked before this and now, I will not buy their shit ever again. I will do without now.
Bring manufacturing home.

You just don’t realize how many gullible people there are in this world— especially when money is involved.

Communist Chinks.
And much higher labor costs.
Couldn't be worse.
There used to be a "wall" around China. But President Nixon and Henry Kissinger decided to make a name for themselves by rapprochement. This happened during the early 1970's.
Yesbut to get a relaible domestic supply for certain things it might be acceptable. Plus a more reliable higher quality product across the board.
I agree, but good luck convincing the cheap labor express.
Not saying we need hundreds or dozens. Just some.
The world really shouldn’t let them do that.
Will we allow their “students” back into our schools and universities in the fall?
