The Trump administration is focused on countering the disinformation from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak, and is spreading news about U.S. humanitarian efforts, a state department official recently said.
To deflect blame over its initial mismanagement of the CCP virus outbreak, the Chinese regime has embarked on a concerted disinformation campaign to posit the unfounded theory that the virus did not originate in China, and may have even come from the United States.
On top of this, the CCP has sought to brand itself as a humanitarian leader amid global response efforts, touting its provision of experts and medical supplies to virus-hit countries around the world. Much of the medical equipment sent overseas have been exports rather than donations.
But the United States is working on combating both aspects of this campaign by calling out the disinformation while also highlighting its own humanitarian efforts, state department spokesperson Morgan Ortagus said on March 31.
“The best way to counter disinformation, in my opinion, is the good news story that actually exists,” Ortagus said at a virtual panel discussion hosted by the Atlantic Council.
“We often forget that the American people remain the single most generous bloc of people around the world.”
In early February, U.S. nonprofits and companies donated 17.8 tons of medical supplies to China, a shipment that was facilitated by the State Department.
The United States’s contributions to international organizations vital to global COVID-19 response efforts have also dwarfed Chinese contributions, Ortagus pointed out.
For instance, U.S. contributions to the World Health Organization, the body coordinating the global response to the crisis, in 2019 exceeded $400 million, almost double the second largest member state contribution. In contrast, China contributed $44 million, according to a press release by the department.

The United States also contributed more than $700 million in 2019 to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), another organization providing aid to the Chinese people amid the outbreak. China, meanwhile, contributed $16 million that year.
THEN, nuke China into oblivion for all the DAMAGE they've done to America with their recklessness and LIES.
And...
Our stuff is good.
We didn’t start this global pandemic.
No nukes needed - Reagan totally plucked over the USSR without them, and we can do the same with Red China. Start by canceling all of the Treasury instruments that they hold, and follow up by sending all of their “students” home for good. Revoke all federal contracts with companies that don’t have a plan, and follow through with actions, to relocate factories out of China. Ditto for companies that transfer technology to the Reds.
It was a nice experiment, to try to get both cheaper goods and to transform the world’s largest and oldest culture into a modern, pluralistic nation - but that experiment long ago failed. Time to go back to the drawing board, which first of all means returning to the mindset and reality that Red China is one of our mortal enemies.
CCP delenda est!
“phucked” not “plucked.”
The American economy is a bunch of aging fat with very little productivity.
A properly run commercial enterprise is a pyramid structure,our structure is an inverted pyramid that will eventually “tip over” because its top heavy.
America has an inflated tort sector,real estate sector, education sector,healthcare sector, military structure(in wages and salaries not hardware) non-religious nonprofits,entertainment sector,tourist sector,government sector,consumer discretionary,and media sector.
Historically when a emperor in China withdraws his labor forces, the rest of the globe takes a hit.
Lazy capital is unproductive capital. American capital will have to”work harder” for its ROI. Investors that invest in essential producers will rise to the top, investors that chase dreamland and fairytale worlds are roadkill.
China claims they don’t need the stuff anymore.
You would kill hundreds of millions for the sins of the Chinese Communist Party, whose membership is less than 10% of China’s population?
China is not doing this, the Party is. We can make the Party pay, undermine them by publicizing their mistakes, discredit them, but it takes time. The Party plays the long game, they have been pursuing dominance for decades, arguably for almost a century.
First, we can yank back critical manufacturing, after this crisis, few will argue against doing that. Then, we will have to conduct a sustained campaign to expose, block, and check the Party’s efforts globally.
At no point do we need to kill millions.
Forget aid to the chinamen. Take care of home.
