In a special article published in Figaro newspaper, French Asia expert Ni Yaling calls for not forgetting that the Chinese Communist Party is indirectly responsible for the 1.8 million deaths in the epidemic and not letting it off lightly.
In an article published in Figaro, Valerie Niquet, a French Asia expert, urged the Chinese Communist Party not to forget its indirect responsibility for the 1.8 million deaths and not to let it get off lightly.
World health Organization (WHO) experts who wanted to travel to China to investigate the origin of Wuhan pneumonia (novel coronavirus disease, COVID-19) were delayed at the last minute when they were not granted visas.
At a regular press conference on June 6, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said that the trip was being held up because of the high risk of sporadic and partially clustered infections in China in recent days.
In an article published in Le Figaro on August 8, Ni Yaling wrote that the ambiguity has led even WHO Secretary-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who has always supported China and tends to believe its claims, to publicly express his “considerable disappointment” with Beijing.
According to the report, China’s hide-and-seek stunt is reminiscent of the history of Iran’s obstruction of the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency’s investigation into the storage of nuclear equipment and radioactive materials.
As Francois Godement, an Asia expert at the Institut Montaigne, tweeted, “It should be obvious by now that China is still rejecting the WHO investigation, even if the stakes are low…This is because they have something they can’t see.”
For a year, the article writes, China has tried with all its might to make people forget that they were the source of the outbreak, and the Communist authorities keep rewriting history to shrug off all responsibility.” To convince others, China even said that the virus came from foreign imports of frozen food.” The Chinese government, currently seen as one of the models of epidemic management, tried to make people forget how he delayed acknowledging the epidemic in the first place.
China’s revisionist efforts are gaining traction in the West. Valerie Niquet, head of the Asia department at the Foundation for Strategic Studies (FRS), told the Figaro newspaper, “The world forgets that China is indirectly responsible for the 1.8 million people who died of the disease, and we all forget about it! China just got off lightly! If it had been Iran or Russia, we would never have gotten away with it!”
Matthew Pottinger, the recently resigned White House deputy national security advisor, said in a videoconference with British and American members of Congress on China in late December 2020 that “there is growing concrete evidence that the Wuhan virus laboratory may be the most plausible origin of the virus.”
The timing of the WHO mission is all the more sensitive for the Chinese Communist government because of the resurgence of the theory that the virus for the 2019 coronavirus disease was leaked from the Wuhan research lab.
But in Ni Yaling’s view, the point is not there. The Chinese system has not changed and will always be so corrupt,” she noted. There are no health controls at all in the market, and the Chinese continue to sell all kinds of animals for a pittance. They have not learned their lesson. So there is no reason to believe that a similar incident won’t happen again, that is, a year or two later, with a new outbreak of the virus.”
