China showed the world what a model superpower should be by the way they handled the original outbreak of the coronavirus. At least, that's what Chinese communist propaganda has been telling us in the last few days.
“China Bought the West Time. The West Squandered It,” reads the headline to an opinion article published Friday by the New York Times.
Earlier, on Thursday, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow hosted reporter Donald McNeil, who explained that China has had “enormous success in beating down its epidemic” because of its advancements in healthcare technology, testing, and mandatory quarantines.
Maddow was so impressed with McNeil's repeating Chinese talking points that she tweeted out the segment.
The problem with the Chinese spin on their Covid-19 response is that it's not even remotely true. Even for a commie country, the inventiveness and sheer audacity of the lies are beyond belief.
This is from an NPR story from February 8 headlined, "Critics Say China Has Suppressed And Censored Information In Coronavirus Outbreak."
China's state censors have clamped down this week on digital items related to the outbreak of a new coronavirus, removing local news reports that expose the dire circumstances in the city of Wuhan, epicenter of the outbreak, and scrubbing social media platforms of posts from Wuhan residents who say they are ill and desperate for medical care and supplies.

The WHO has been slobbering all over themselves about the Chinese response. They started the mess with their disgusting wet markets, and yet get kudos.
Now what should impress anyone is the responses from S Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong. Perhaps Japan. Those countries could give lessons on mitigating the outbreak
I don’t think ‘falling for’ is the most accurate way of putting it.
Who was it that said a lie can get half way around the world before the truth can get its shoes tied?
I beg to differ. Our media isn’t “falling for”, they are willing participants in the Communist Chinese propaganda.
Parroting is more like it.
Had it read; ‘China bought the West time by incinerating victims alive’, I wouldn’t have been surprised in the slightest.
Media Falling for Chinese Propaganda?
LOL!
The MSM is WRITING the propaganda!
exactly!
Hitler was a Socialist, actually.
> Hitler was a Socialist, actually. <
100% correct. He even called his party ‘The National Socialist German Workers Party’. Mussolini was a socialist as well. These facts should be drummed into the heads of every high school student in the country.
Yup,create crisis and then “solve” crisis. Liberalism is the definition of a virus.
I asked a friend who lived in China for ten years to watch the clip. He responded that it was “total bullshit and Chicom propaganda”. And that McNeil is being paid by the CCP, probably under the guise of giving him “inside info”.
taxpayer-funded ABC in Australia is the same...and I’ve heard plenty like this on BBC too:
14 Mar: ABC Australia: Coronavirus COVID-19 has been aggressively contained in China. So can Australia learn from Xi Jinping’s tactics?
By Bill Birtles
Could Australia and other countries adopt similar measures?
“While it looks draconian, it’s actually the best thing for the wider population to contain people in centres away from family,” UNSW epidemiologist Mary-Louise McLaws said.
“We did learn in Australia, during the avian flu of 2015, people who were meant to be in isolation picked up children from school or went shopping.
“It’s hard for individuals to have the greater good in their minds, so I completely understand why China chose that approach.”...

It’s just the froo blo.
Just yesterday there was someone on FR posting a “well produced” video showing how China was recovering. It was being used as an example of how “we” should be acting.
It was well produced by the Chinese Communist Party.
It’s not just the MSM that falls for a well produced and sincere explanation. It’s folks here too.
Most people are too lazy or stupid to see it.
Unfortunately for the Chinese government, Trump tested negative on the corona virus test spoiling their plan to announce through CNN that Trump is the real patient zero for the global Mar a Lago virus, formerly known as the Wuhan virus.
