Chinese state media releases animated propaganda video mocking US Coronavirus response
ABC ^ | 05/01/2020 | By Tracey Shelton and Iris Zhao

A Chinese state media outlet has released an animated video using Lego pieces to mock the United States' coronavirus response and the Trump Administration's claims of an initial Chinese COVID-19 coverup.

Entitled Once Upon a Virus, the short animation — released by China's official Xinhua news agency — takes the form of a back-and-forth between China and the US with China being represented by a Lego terracotta warrior and a team of hazmat wearing characters, and the US by the Statue of Liberty.

The dialogue begins with the Chinese warrior who stated they had discovered a dangerous new virus, to which the Statue of Liberty replied:

"It's only a flu ... Don't wear a mask", adding that China's "stay at home" measures were a violation of human rights.

The video purports that the US did not heed warnings from the Chinese Government but later accused China of "giving false data".

Last month, US president Donald Trump accused both China and the World Health Organization (WHO) of a COVID-19 cover-up, saying "the world received all sorts of false information about transmission and mortality".

The animation makes reference to the US's decision to halt funding of the WHO, which Mr Trump said promoted China's "disinformation" about the virus, "failed in its basic duty" and "must be held accountable".

"The WHO failed to investigate credible reports from sources in Wuhan that conflicted directly with the Chinese government's official accounts," Mr Trump said at the time.

The video also noted the US's labelling of lockdown measures the communist country implemented were "barbaric".

The video was also posted on Twitter by the Chinese embassy in France.

The US embassy in Canberra told the ABC they had no comment regarding the video at this time.

Discovered a dangerous new virus? Who are they trying to fool? They released a dangerous new virus. And the entire world knows it.

An Australian state media airs Communist propaganda as “news”.

Then again the US corporate media has been running Iranian and Chinese state run media propaganda as “news” too. In war time no less. Whether war has been declared or not, lobbing missiles and deliberately spreading infectious disease are acts of war.

I hate to have to say it, but that is a good post. I’m guessing that in three years this pandemic will be mostly forgotten (except for the grieving families, but the globalists don’t care about them). Then it’s back on the cheap Chinese goods express.

This is not a knock against Trump. He will try. But there are too many globalists in Congress. And too many who will do anything to oppose Trump’s plans, whatever they are.

I sure hope I’m proven wrong.

I love my Chinese wife - but quite honestly she is the only good Chinese person that I have ever met.

Every day I hate China more.

Boy, you are in a tough situation. I’m really curious to know, what does your wife think about all this?

There’s a big difference between people of Chinese descent in general, and brainwashed Chi-Coms.

My wife has always been very apolitical- thankfully- we talked about the virus a lot at first, not so much now.

It’s hard for her when I discuss history....

Well I do think, however, that people will stop buying made in China products at least for a while. But they’re poking fun at the United States and of our President. They really do not know who they’re messing with. President Trump loves America and I believe he would protect her with his life if need be.

So those idiotic ChiComs better realize quickly just who they are making fun of and what country they are making fun of. Our President is not to be toyed with.

Very true - their programming runs really deep if they are party members. Chinese Americans are Americans- my wife is from near Shanghai, but with a long history of travel to the US.

It always amazes me at how different my Taiwanese friends are from all the mainlanders I know!!

The Chicoms are extremely insecure and paranoid. I also think they may have some internal troubles. This is how children act. I wish a billion Chinese would realize that they could overthrow the government just buy sheer volume.

“Who are they trying to fool? They released a dangerous new virus. And the entire world knows it. “

Here is a what if:

What if some Deep State “elements” here took some samples from oh lets say Ft. Dix over there about the time they had those exercises there and released it.

They have a level 4 lab there and the wet markets to blame it on there, perfect fall guys.

Who knows what the real story is. Best course of investigation is to follow the money. That perhaps would start with Fauci providing about $7.5 million to the Wuhan lab. So, who profits from that point and whose agenda is advanced?

Jus saying.

Ft Dix doesn’t even have a lab. The grant was valued at $3.7 million, and went to six nations. If you want to spew conspiracy theories at least get your locations and numbers right.

Better yet, spend the time to watch a well researched and sourced video on the evidence for lab creation and the Wuhan lab. Here is the link - LONG VIDEO

Traditional Chinese culture is ancient, profound, rich in humanity and thoughtfulness.

The communists have perverted and destroyed it for the vast majority on the mainland.

Hopefully, soon, the people will rise against their inhuman dictators and remember who they really are.

I agree completely.

When the Kumintong fled China for Taiwan, they took the real China with them, including the traditional language.

I truly hope and pray that the world can someday witness a free China.

“Ft Dix doesn’t even have a lab. / that you know of and it’s irrelevant there are several to pick from including UNC.”The grant was valued at $3.7 million”-

https://www.niaid.nih.gov/research/us-china-collaborative-biomedical-research-program

“In the first year of the program, applications were open for basic, translational, behavioral, clinical, preventive, or epidemiological research projects in the areas of allergy, immunology, infectious diseases, and cancer. The JWG decided to fund 34 grant supplements and intramural research projects to support U.S. investigators collaborating with Chinese colleagues. The NSFC provided complementary funding to support the Chinese investigators.

In the second year of the program, investigators were invited to submit research projects that covered various areas of cancer, mental health, immunology, and infectious diseases (including HIV/AIDS and its co-morbidities). The JWG decided to fund 42 awards to U.S. and Chinese collaborating investigators.

The research areas were expanded in the third year of the program to include Parkinson’s disease and stroke, as well as continuing research on the health topics covered in the first two years.”

That you know of either. The level 4 is at Detrick, and Fauci did indeed work there, with huge ethics issues. Well documented.

Meanwhile, back at WIV, patient zero has had her records and photo scrubbed but is still named. The Bat Lady there has been studying how to induce coronavirus to jump species for over a decade. Did Fauci help? Quite likely.

But the CCP has been on a quest for a bioweapon that targets specific races for decades - well, since 1949. Their views of racial superiority make Hitler look like a young Girl Scout. The Central Kingdom is certain that they are the Master Race.

Don’t take my word for it - read this speech from their former Secretary of Defense:
