China on Tuesday escalated its tit-for-tat propaganda war with the United States over who's to blame for the spread of the coronavirus by placing restrictive measures on several top media companies including The New York Times, The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal, prompting strong opposition from the Trump administration.

It's just the latest move by Beijing to punish the U.S. for its reporting on the global pandemic, the origin of which has been traced back to Wuhan, China.

"The Chinese Communist Party’s decision to expel journalists from China and Hong Kong is yet another step toward depriving the Chinese people and the world of access to true information about China," the National Security Council tweeted. "The United States calls on China’s leaders to refocus their efforts from expelling journalists and spreading disinformation to joining all nations in stopping the Wuhan coronavirus."

Last month, China revoked the press credentials of three Beijing-based Wall Street Journal news reporters over an opinion piece which referred to the most populous country in the world as "the real sick man of Asia" in a headline. The Journal, like most news outlets, runs separate news and opinion operations that do not overlap. However, that didn't stop China from booting out Deputy Bureau Chief Josh Chin, reporter Chao Deng, both U.S. nationals, as well as reporter Philip Wen, an Australian national.

What China doesn’t understand is that the reporters are more on their side than that of the US.

Why? The American journalists were not going to tell the truth anyway, especially if it supported Trump with regards to China and the Wuhan Flu.

We should retaliate by also kicking American Journalists out of the country.

The New York Times, The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal

With a lineup like that I have to wonder if it is them and not China behind the disinformation.

Good.

For their hiding the Wu Flu from us for more than one month, we should sever all ties with them. Cut off all social, economic, commerce, tourism, deport all of their people in our universities who are still Chinese citizens, end all banking connections and totally refuse to deal with them in any way whatsoever.

They have demonstrated that irrespective of the fact that they are one of the oldest if not the oldest nations in the world, they are still savages at heart.

How about this one?

武汉肺炎病毒,寻找中国共产党标签

"Wuhan Pneumonia virus, look for the Chinese Communist Party Label"

...at least according to Goolag Translate.

The Chinese communist hierarchy is of the same mind as those who considered Walter Kronkite to be conservative.
