The World Can’t Trust China
The G7 nations are a diverse group, which includes Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Britain, the United States and the European Union. Alienating all of them at once in the midst of a global pandemic takes some serious focus and determination.The Epoch Times refers to the new coronavirus as the CCP virus because the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP’s) coverup and mismanagement allowed the virus to spread throughout China and create a global pandemic. The virus started in China last year before spreading around the world.
China Puts the Whole World at Risk
As the source and driver of the worst global pandemic in a century, China had a moral imperative to act responsibly and properly. Such actions would have included the Chinese leadership informing its citizens, and the other 6 billion or so of us, immediately and consistently about what it knew and had learned about the virus from the beginning onward.Of course, had that information been made available, it would have been very helpful to the rest of the world in preparing for what was to come.
But the CCP’s culpability goes well beyond that. The CCP leadership didn’t just enable the virus to spread domestically. Their actions—or inactions—willfully allowed the Wuhan virus to spread to the entire world. There is no other way of expressing that fact except to say it thus.
The facts are clear. While the virus was spreading throughout Wuhan and Hubei province, infected workers were leaving town for their home villages hundreds of miles away in other parts of the country for the Lunar New Year holiday.
But other infected Chinese citizens, including tourists, workers and business people, were still flying freely out of China to cities and countries around the globe. The Chinese regime knew exactly what was happening in the earliest phases of the virus, and knew about the risks that they were subjecting the rest of the world to, and yet they allowed it to happen.
As a result, infected workers, engineers, students and business people flew back and forth from China into those countries with the deepest economic ties, such as Iran and Italy. And those nations, unfortunately have been the hardest hit by the CCP virus outside of China.
But infected people also travelled into Germany, France, the UK and the United States, without any word or warning. The CCP leadership did, however, see their way clear to arresting their own doctors and medical personnel who dared speak the truth about what was infecting and killing their fellow citizens by the thousands each day.
The CCP Is the Deadliest Virus
The problem, of course, isn’t the Chinese people themselves, but rather, with those who rule the country with an unprecedented level of control and brutality. Even today, it is not evident that China is winning its battle with the CCP virus.That’s standard operating procedure for the CCP. The reality is that the CCP doesn’t give a damn about the rest of the world—decades of trade, investment and modernization doesn’t mean a day’s worth of trust.
If the world didn’t know that before, it does now.
