The Group of Seven (G-7) economies have agreed to push back against Beijings sprawling propaganda campaign designed to deflect blame for causing the global pandemic, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on March 26.
G-7 countries discussed the Chinese regimes intentional disinformation campaign during a virtual meeting held on March 25, according to Pompeo.
The G-7 countries yesterday were unanimous in saying we understand that this is a risk, that this is a problem to the EU and to the United States and the world, Pompeo told The Hugh Hewitt radio show on March 26, in reference to the discussions. They agreed to jointly work alongside us to push back against this disinformation campaign.
He said Japan and the EU countries in G-7 (France, Germany, and Italy) understood that the Chinese regime was reshaping its narrative about the outbreakdisinformation that the Chinese are actively engaged in, even as we speak.
The regime has been trying to defer blame, trying to claim that they are the solution to this, and [that] they werent the nation that, at the very beginning of this, [was the] one country that had the opportunity and the data set that could have put this virus in a much better place than we are today and failed to do so, Pompeo said.
In recent weeks, Chinese senior officials and scientists have claimed that the virus didnt originate from China. On Twitter, a spokesman for Chinas foreign ministry pushed the unfounded conspiracy theory that the virus was introduced to China by U.S. Army personnel.
Beijing also is actively portraying itself as a global leader in containing the pandemic. Experts say this is part of the regimes goal to promote its authoritarian governance model to countries as an alternative to democracy.

LOL that’s pretty funny. I like it.
It’s not even a prima facie credible narrative.
China destroyed the evidence and suppressed all information, back when this started. These actions are not consistent with the narrative they want to push today.
I have that thought as well. I agree it started at a wet market, how it came to said market remains to be determined.
Atheists have no conscience.

I WONDER why in the hell nations do not refer to the RED Chinese's mob as a COMMUNIST REGIME??? Red China. That is what we used to refer to them. They are still RED. They are still COMMUNIST. When the heck did we quit referring to them as RED China??? The only thing different is they started using capitalism as their financial ways of doing business. They knew they could not make money the communist way, the Soviets proved that. But we sure as hell should refer to them as Red for they still rule as communists. Just like North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, etc. They are still R-E-D!!!
It's been past that time for years now.
We need to find a way to break down China's economy and cause a change of government. I suggest the first step would be to secure sources of raw materials and restart manufacturing in our country and encourage the same for our allies. Pharmaceuticals should be at the top of the list.
Nevertheless, not all Chinese favor the party line. Some information about the 3 clinical studies there on high dose IV Vitamin C are slipping out. Unfortunately the official reports won’t be ready until Sept. Meanwhile, some NY hospitals are already starting to use higher Vitamin C therapy for the virus. Unfortunately, their timid dosing will only be partially effective and people will probably die who could have been saved with more aggressive C treatment.

Pompeo is being quite diplomatic. He said the Chinese “could have put this virus in a much better place”. At the absolute minimum, they were accelerated the spread of the virus and covered up and continue to cover up the rate of growth and death rate.
It also occurs to me how the press is complicit in interfering in the readiness of the administration for emergencies in it’s all encompassing smear job since 2016.
Agreed on all that.
My own opinion is it's either what you said (above) or it was weaponized and released.
I really do not believe there's any other legitimate choice than these two, despite the media disinformation campaign that this virus "evolved in nature."
That's bullshit. This thing was designed to attach to human cells and propagate itself quickly as this thing does.
