A year ago, the rapid expansion of Wuhan pneumonia in China was finally revealed, with Dr. Li Wenliang, one of the victims who died of the infection, and who may even be considered a traitor by the CCP, because traitors are traitors to the CCP. People’s distrust of the CCP has a lot to do with their suppression of Li Wenliang and others who are trying to uncover and pursue the truth.
In the face of global attacks and even lawsuits, the CCP’s propaganda machine is still trying to shirk its responsibilities. In March, it denied that “Patient Zero” must have originated in Wuhan, and Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian even went so far as to accuse the U.S. military of bringing the virus to Wuhan during the military games there, demanding that the U.S. account for “when did Patient Zero appear in the U.S.? “This sparked a war of words between China and the United States, with President Trump repeatedly using the term “Chinese virus” to describe the culprit behind the pandemic.
To ease tensions between the U.S. and China, the official People’s Daily tweeted overseas on March 16 that “malaria in five foreign athletes at the military games has nothing to do with the new crown pneumonia. Zhao later called on the United States to allow the WHO to conduct a similar investigation, even though there is no evidence that the virus originated in the United States. However, the Chinese Communist Party claimed in April that the virus may have come from Italy, and senior health adviser Wang Guangfa in May cited a then-unpublished report by researchers at the University of Barcelona that said the WHO should go to Spain to investigate because the study said the virus had appeared in Spanish wastewater as early as March 2019. By September there were reports claiming that the virus came from outer space, and by November it was claimed that it came from India. The real purpose of the various dumping actions is that they do not want the international community’s doubts about the source of the virus to enter the Chinese investigation.
Last May’s WHO conference was a beastly battleground between the U.S. and China, with Xi Jinping pledging in a video address that Beijing would contribute $2 billion to the fight against the virus, and Trump Administration officials denouncing China’s aid as window-dressing and an attempt to influence the WHO. WHO was facing demands from member states to investigate whether the organization colluded with Beijing over a lack of transparency in the early days of the Wuhan outbreak. For all of humanity, apart from preventing the outbreak and saving lives, there is also great concern about the source of the virus.
So far, WHO investigators have been allowed to enter China three times, the first Time in February last year with an advance team that was questioned as a sham because it did not include U.S. and other experts, but only WHO headquarters personnel who were amateurs in epidemiology-related fields. In July of last year, WHO sent another advance team, but it was questioned because it did not go to Wuhan at all. Notably, according to the July 22 New York Times Online, “While the Chinese government has said it welcomes the investigation, officials have yet to provide details about efforts to trace the virus in the country. Chinese scientists say the investigation has been blocked or delayed several times.” In other words, even Chinese scientists have been blocked from going to the investigation, so the World Trade Organization advance team that has been in contact with the scientists may not have access to the relevant scientific information at all.
Responding to questions on August 27, WHO Director General Tan Desai announced that a team of international experts was prepared to travel to China to investigate the source of the virus, including Wuhan, where the outbreak first occurred. However, after repeated delays since last August, it was only in January this year, a year after the outbreak, that the so-called experts, whose names were approved by the Chinese Communist Party, held a press conference in China on February 9 and issued three major “conclusions”: 1) The Wuhan South China Seafood Market is not the source of the virus.
1) The Wuhan South China Seafood Market is not necessarily the source of transmission; the panel believes that many early cases were associated with the South China Seafood Market, which only proves that the market was one of the points of virus transmission, but cannot determine how the virus was introduced into the South China market.
2) Bats are not necessarily the direct origin of the virus, and the panel indicated that the virus carried by bats was not the direct ancestor of the virus. Group leader Wannian Liang, the Chinese representative, said that the ability to survive with a high degree of adaptation to the human environment may have been acquired by chance or evolved gradually, but each step benefited from natural selection.
3) The possibility that the virus came from the Wuhan Institute of Virus Research is “very slim” and no further investigation will be conducted in the future. Liang Wannian said that the Wuhan Institute of Virus Research had no relevant viruses at all before the outbreak, so there was no possibility of virus leakage.
These three conclusions are of course politically “correct,” as the CCP only needs to stop thinking that the virus must have originated in China, or that if it did, it was a naturally occurring virus and not an artificially created biochemical weapon. However, since it is not certain that the virus came from nature, even if it did not come from the Wuhan Institute of Virus Research, it does not prove that it is not a product of artificial transformation.
The Chinese Communist Party’s choice to allow 17 foreign experts to enter the U.S. presidential election after Biden‘s victory was confirmed, and to set up a team with 17 other Chinese experts to investigate, was of course a politically calculated move. If Trump is re-elected, his administration will not recognize such “politically correct” conclusions, because it is impossible to find the truth in a non-independent investigation with Chinese participation or even leadership.
As it turns out, the three “conclusions” mentioned above are telling everyone that there will be no truth, and that further investigation will not yield results. As long as the truth is not revealed, people around the world who died in vain will not be able to rest in peace, and their families and friends will only live the rest of their lives with their grievances, and the Chinese Communist Party will live on with everyone’s grievances.
