China's propaganda machine is operating at full steam in attempt to regain trust in communist regime
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Amid China's intensive propaganda campaign to reverse global perceptions of the Wuhan coronavirus epidemic in that country,
Chinese state media Xinhua News Agency is taking the gambit to exhilarating new heights, suggesting the "United States owes China an apology" and that the world ought to acknowledge China for its remarkable achievements in its fight against the novel pneumonia.
"
The world should thank China for its gargantuan efforts and sacrifices to prevent the spread of the disease to other countries, an act that is really startling the universe and moving the gods
Frustration and anger have been felt across China over the initial cover-up of the deadly virus and the under-reported number of infections and deaths, with the confidence of many Chinese in the communist regime rattled and the legitimacy of Xi Jinping's leadership newly coming into question. To address the crisis, the regime has adopted radical lockdowns and launched a propaganda campaign of sugar-coated stories about patient recoveries, frontline medical workers, and of course communist party members.
State media outlets began to play down the threat in mid-February and hailed the Chinese government as a "role model" in the global fight against the virus. A Feb. 24
editorial from the Global Times, a media mouthpiece for Beijing, even assailed other countries (Japan, South Korea, Iran, and Italy) as "slow to respond to the virus."
On March 3, Chinese state media made one of its most galling moves yet, with a commentary reposted on Xinhua News by the outspoken Chinese investor
Huang Shen (黃生). According to Huang, the U.S. denying entry to those who had been in China as the outbreak began is unfair, as China has not reciprocated the de-facto travel ban; indeed, the U.S. should apologize to China for these wrongdoings, which are damaging to the Chinese economy.
Huang also cast doubts over the number of confirmed cases in the U.S., believing it to be severely under-reported. He imagines that U.S. President Donald Trump must be extremely anxious over the outbreak; meanwhile, China has made significant progress in the fight against the disease, and many businesses have reopened, Huang adds.
Huang goes on to ridicule the idea that China owes the world an apology, saying there is no reason to expect contrition from the communist country, especially when numerous studies point to the U.S., Italy, and Iran as the possible origin points of the virus. He thinks China should instead take credit for preventing the virus from spreading to the world.
"Now we can say with confidence that the U.S. owes China an apology, and the world owes China thanks," he concludes.
Thanks China!
You did a great job..especially when you cried about countries stopping flights to China as "selfish", "unfair", "unwarranted", and especially the biggie "racist".
Of course China always had the safety of the planet in mind
