Beijing Exploiting Anti-Asian Attacks to Shun US Criticism, ‘Delegitimize’ America
Epoch Times ^ | 03/28/2021 | Eva Fu

As America grapples with troubling headlines depicting a rise in anti-Asian racism, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has apparently found its latest propaganda fodder.

Pointing to the uptick in crimes against Asian Americans, the regime is telling the United States to sort out its own affairs before criticizing Beijing for its severe human rights violations.

Propaganda exploiting America’s domestic problems is a well-worn tactic used by the CCP and other authoritarian regimes to deflect criticism of its own malign actions.

In recent weeks, state-controlled media have been churning out reports daily framing the violence as a result of heightened Western criticism directed towards the Chinese regime.

Chinese diplomats, meanwhile, have wielded such incidents as a weapon to divert attention away from the CCP’s domestic abuses, and depict its own governance model as superior to democracy.

In its latest rhetorical attack on the United States, the regime released an annual report on March 24 titled “The Report on Human Rights Violations in the United States in 2020.”

“Since the pandemic began, the incidents of Asian Americans being humiliated and even assaulted in public have been found everywhere, and some American politicians have misled the public on purpose,” the regime states in an 18-page report.

It accuses the United States of “hypocrisy, bullying … and double standards,” saying that the U.S. government, “instead of introspecting on its own terrible human rights record, kept making irresponsible remarks on the human rights situation in other countries.”

Chinese state mouthpiece Xinhua followed up on the report with a commentary purporting to show “America’s inherent human rights sins.” The public outcry on violence against Asians will likely result in “perfunctory measures” from the United States, it claimed, but “without sweeping reforms and an earnest attitude, Uncle Sam can hardly clean up its mess in human rights protection,”

Propaganda exploiting America’s domestic problems is also a democrat party tactic.

Well, how anti-Asian is it for the current government of communist China to have 80 million people?
Seems pretty anti-asian to murder 80 million of your own people.

There is no difference between China and Biden’s Banana Republic, aka, the Democrat Party.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1994/07/17/how-many-died-new-evidence-suggests-far-higher-numbers-for-the-victims-of-mao-zedongs-era/01044df5-03dd-49f4-a453-a033c5287bce/

The low accepted number is 40 million, most have it in a range from 40-80. The black book of communism says 65.

The point is that nobody is more violent to Asians than Red China. And those numbers do not count Vietnamese, Koreans, and Cambodians they helped murder.

Red China is anti-asian.

While China sleeps with Iran in their recent Billions of Dollars love feast.

Anyone the West has sanctioned China is scooping up and sticking their nose up at the US. They know Bidens not going to do anything.

Eva: Skip the use of the word “apparently”. Peking HAS found another anti-American propaganda theme. That is what communists and their allies/dupes do, including the US mainstream media.

Saw some printed signs at the local Stop Anti-Asian Hate protest that were probably paid for by the commies. “Don’t Blame China”. “Don’t Blame Chinese People”.
