Inside China's high-stakes campaign to smear the United States over coronavirus
Fox News ^ | 12 March 2020 | Barnini Chakraborty

If you listened to Chinese state-run media, you'd think President Trump went to China and released vials of COVID-19 on groups of unsuspecting men, women and children. Beijing has been bending over backward trying to convince the world that the United States is the real culprit behind the quickly spreading virus that's already claimed more than 4,600 lives across the globe.

It's a high-stakes strategy for the Asian nation fighting to keep its superpower status amid a national lockdown and palpable anger over claims that Wuhan, China, the epicenter of the coronavirus, at first covered it up, triggering a worldwide health and economic crisis.

Everyone must call this what it is: The China Virus/Flu or Wuhan Virus. It started in China, China covered it up and is now trying to blame the United States or anyone else for what is happening. THEY are at fault.

On Chinese social media (WeChat) the buzz is that the Chinese Government created COVID-19 to get rid of their surplus elderly population.

I take the ChiComs’ mendacity and turn it on its head by saying I think China deliberately released the virus and got it into the U. S. to damage President Trump’s reelection chances.

This defensive media blitz increases my suspicion China created this virus.

WILL CHINA WIN THE PANDEMIC WORLD WAR?

“When paranoid, you can be wrong 1,000 times and you will survive. If non-paranoid; wrong once, and you, your genes, and the rest of your group are done.”

~Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of The Black Swan, Antifragile, Skin in the Game, and Fooled by Randomness. On Twitter concerning the Covid-19 threat, February 23, 2020.

Will China, the first country (and superpower) to suffer the effects of Covid-19, also be the first country to recover, and thereby gain an overwhelming strategic advantage, while the USA, Europe and the rest of the world suffer the pandemic’s worst effects for a longer and even more catastrophic period?

This is way beyond election timing.

This is a pandemic world war that could last years, and overturn global arrangements more than anything since WW2.

It would not surprise me. Killing off the elderly does benefit their economy. And they have long experience with killing their own people.

What a false choice — we have to be paranoid or we are all dead. If “paranoid” means shutting down America and letting the communist fear mongers takeover, I say let’s take our chances.

I prefer to call it the Wuhanic Plague.

I didn’t think I needed a sarcasm tag, but obviously some Chicken Littles tend to need such clues.

Wuhan Flu

WuFlu

One must keep branding simple so it rolls off the tongue, is accurate, and devastating.

Makes one wonder. At the very least China put the whole world at risk by not saying anything for an extended period of time.

The Chinese communists want Trump gone and the DNC with Biden back in charge, Biden has been bought a while back already.
