An Intentional U.S. Cold War Wipeout of China from the Coronavirus Narrative. Politics not People?
Hi Friends, You may regard this as my Covid-19 update for March 4th, 2020. The news cycle and related developments is so fast, it is necessary. It is also necessary because of the information you are NOT getting.
In case you didn't notice yet, the western media and U.S. govt is engaged in an intentional broadly executed playbook across all communication channels and media to blackout China from the story on the Covid-19 outbreak. This is worse than disturbing and stupid, wiping China, your most valuable, clear source of information from the map of the story.
Really? You tell me. China daily new cases are essentially zero for around two weeks outside of the Wuhan area. Besides three cases found this past couple of days around Dandong near the North Korean border). Within the Wuhan, Hubei worst hit area, new case yesterday were down to 120, steeply declining each day. Meanwhile, the outbreak is accelerating outside of China.
Yet we have the "anti-China playbook" out in greater force than ever. We even have Gordon Chang on a talk show actually cheerleading the audience into anti China chants!
Is this how America the world's leader acts during a humanitarian crisis?
We have messaging ignoring the remarkable result China has achieved and which the rest o the world now had better pay attention to and follow as best it can within in its own system of govt and society. Characterized by blaming instead of thanking China, refusing to acknowledge and reference known valuable information already available from China, who already has 2 full months of experience dealing with the virus, has already halted its spread, and who has already shared all the detailed pathology characteristics of the virus with the west. This is not a helpful development for anyone involved. It is just political strategy, miserable, selfish, rotten political strategy.
Read this from the WHO:
"It’s now critical that the rest of the world learn as much as it can from China’s efforts to respond to and limit the spread of the virus. That was precisely the intention of a recent World Health Organization (WHO) mission to China, led by the agency’s assistant director general and veteran epidemiologist Bruce Aylward. Its major finding: “China’s bold approach to contain the rapid spread of this new respiratory pathogen has changed the course of a rapidly escalating and deadly epidemic.”

Instead, what are they doing? An intentional media blackout of all things China except any news which is the continued demonizing of China. This past week is close to being the worst circus shitshow I have ever witnessed, dividing the world, creating unnecessary mis and disinformation instead of cooperation when we are all together facing a humanitarian health crisis. I repeat, the parties in charge are executing this game plan, creating intentional division of the rest of the world from China more than ever, it is a classic Cold War playbook and it pains me to witness it from here on the ground in China.
Related to the recent new restrictions on Chinese media, China Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian repeated allegations that the U.S. is running a Cold War playbook against China. This is not China's political grandstanding. This is China and myself and any intelligent observer reaching conclusions from what we are witnessing. Step by step, piece by piece, this is what I am watching unfold each day since around the beginning of January when this situation began. Egos, power and politics are more important than the safety of people and society across the world.
Meanwhile, please watch and PLEASE SHARE my recent video updates as well Click Here To Find Them On The Dragon Roars On YouTube Channel, to clearly, simply understand the most important aspects of this virus outbreak situation and what to do.
Western media's incessant focus on negative, fear, shock, outrage, clickbait headlines is definitely the worst enemy of your society, your life and your mind. Its so sad and pathetic to watch and its all for the benefit of who? The oligarchy, not the people. Damn.

5 年US has the best class of scientists and intellectuals that can offer the best narratives and solution to this Coronavirus Outbreak. The problem is that currently mainstream media and major political parties are hijacked by those neither understand sciences nor respect intellectualism.

5 年You writing for the Global Times now? Some of your earlier post were enlightening but this just a propagandistic and lazy writing. What kind of construct is the “western media”? Where is that located? There’s plenty of news from China in various “western” sources, and if it’s lacking it’s might be because China has been kicking out foreign journalists.

5 年China has morphed from being a recalcitrant WTO violator (with lots of evidence of this) to an “existential threat “ in the eyes of the power elite in DC, whether on the right or left. There’s much less (and mostly tenuous) evidence regarding this threat, which makes one wonder what the real issue is. Could it be simply that hegemony is being threatened? Unbridled nationalism is a business issue, whether coming from DC or BJ.
