House Oversight Committee Members Press WHO for Role in Spreading China’s Propaganda

Several Republican members from the House Oversight Committee and other co-signers are requesting the World Health Organization (WHO) hand over information about its relationship with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in wake of Beijing’s widely criticized, botched handling of the CCP virus pandemic.

In an April 9 letter to WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, U.S. lawmakers laid out concerns that the international organization helped to serve Beijing’s interests over those of other countries by repeating China’s lies about the situation and downplaying the severity of the disease.

The letter comes amid the committee’s ongoing investigation into Beijing’s part in the spread of the pandemic, including its large-scale propaganda campaign.

The CCP’s global disinformation campaign is primarily aimed at deflecting blame, sowing discord internationally, and portraying the image that the regime has contained the outbreak. Lawmakers also heavily criticized Ghebreyesus’s role.

“Throughout the crisis, the WHO has shied away from placing any blame on the Chinese government, which is in essence the Communist Party of China,” lawmakers wrote.

“You, as leader of the WHO, even went so far as to praise the Chinese government’s ‘transparency’ during the crisis, when, in fact, the regime has consistently lied to the world by underreporting their actual infection and death statistics,” they added.
