China’s state media continued hectoring the Western world about “overreacting” to the Wuhan coronavirus with a Global Times editorial on Tuesday that accused the United States of fabricating virus horror stories to “tarnish the image of China.”
In this latest version of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) coronavirus spin, the Western world is overhyping the threat of the Wuhan virus because it suffers from “some sort of pending-replacement anxiety” as magnificent China rises to become the new global hyperpower.
The editorial underplays how serious the Wuhan virus turned out to be, despite the CCP’s early efforts to hide the epidemic, the increasingly drastic steps it has taken as the true extent of the threat became undeniable, and the authoritarian regime’s ham-fisted attempts to silence critics and whistleblowers:
No matter what happens in China, the West leaves no stone unturned to mislead the world as it spreads negative, twisted falsehoods. The West has already proven its vindictive and anxious mentality with a large-scale propaganda war against China. Western media constantly wages smear campaigns against the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), Xinjiang and Tibet, two of China’s autonomous regions.
From the very inception of the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) in Wuhan, Central China’s Hubei Province, the West – the so-called saviors of humanity and guardians of human rights – has shown its ugliest face to the world. They have acted out of their old habits as they demean China and its people. But China has taken swift, effective and successful measures to curb the outbreak of NCP. The Chinese government has spared no efforts in this regard, including quarantining cities and constructing a 1,000-bed hospital in just 10 days.

Same kind of bald faced lies we’ve come to expect from our own Democommies.
Totalitarians of a feather gotta stick together, ehh ?
Whatever. This sounds more paranoid than the usual statements.
Let the cameras in.
Almost makes you miss the “running dogs of capitalist
exploiters”.
“...suffers from “some sort of pending-replacement anxiety””
Pending-Replacement Anxiety, eh?
PRA — D’rat Cingresscritters got it!
..... Over 10,000 people have already died of the flue this year in the US ...... But lets all be afraid of the Coronavirus ......
Any society that eats scorpions and bats can stop lecturing us about their superiority.
I don’t get it. The annual flu season is worse than the coronavirus and you don’t hear much about it. Is this all just to give the MSM something to talk about now that the Democrat partisan impeachment is over? It was most likely something the Chicoms put out to clear the streets of protesters.
When you screw your people over, blame America or cry for Palestine.
The flu has a mortality rate of 0.1% and has a large pool of hosts at any time so we know what to expect from it and how to deal with it in large part.
The Wuhanic Plague has a mortality rate of around 20%. It is also more contagious, has a long incubation period and is contagious before the carrier shows symptoms. This is its first time into the general population so every case is a new exposure with no known immunity. And beyond that, we don’t know nearly as much about it.
IT IS NOT THE FLU.
As long as we have containment, in those places where we DO have containment, it won’t be bad, but China is going to have to deal with a lot of death. Once containment is lost, even in a place with robust medical infrastructure, that infrastructure will be overwhelmed. Just hope nobody is being as cavalier as you are, or we’re all screwed.
See post #13.
Oh China... This is just classic
China - quarantines entire cities with 50 million people, stops all factories for 1 month, arrests doctors, all over virus.
Then declares the US is “over-reacting” to same virus.
too funny.
Welding the doors shut on buildings full of your own citizens is not overreacting?Bring Out Your DeadGood to know.
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.
It’s also only killed Asians, meanwhile a British man who caught it beat it with whiskey & honey. Must react in some way with Asian physiology.
It’s just the flu bro
“It’s also only killed Asians”
That claim has been going around, but I have not seen any non-circumstantial evidence that it is so. The fact that we have everybody outside of China pretty well quarantined and getting much better medical attention may be contributing to that idea as well. We certainly don’t have a list of all the dead and their races.
No. It’s not.
