More than a year after the outbreak of the Chinese Communist Party virus (Wuhan pneumonia), U.S. Secretary of State John Blinken said that to prevent a similar situation from happening again, countries must be open and transparent, share information, and give international experts access to data at the beginning of the outbreak, but the Chinese Communist Party has yet to do so.
The Central News Agency reports that an international team led by the World health Organization (WHO) recently went to China to investigate the origin of the virus, but the Wall Street Journal reports that Beijing authorities refused to hand over the original data on the 174 Wuhan cases at the beginning of the outbreak, providing only extensive summaries and analyses of the cases by Chinese officials and scientists themselves.
In a recent interview with BBC World News, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that the world witnessed the devastating impact of COVID-19 and that to avoid a repeat of the outbreak, it is important to ensure that the global health and safety system as a whole is better equipped to contain the outbreak before it becomes full-blown. If we are to avoid a repeat, we must ensure that the global health and safety system as a whole is better equipped to contain the outbreak before it becomes full-blown and take the necessary measures.
Failure of the Chinese Communist Party to share information about the outbreak
To achieve this, countries need to be open and transparent, share information and give international experts access to data from the beginning of the outbreak,” Blinken said, “but unfortunately we haven’t seen that from China (the Chinese Communist Party).
On Sunday (Feb. 21), White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan also said the Chinese Communist Party has failed to provide enough raw data on the spread of the CCP virus (Wuhan pneumonia, New Coronavirus) within China.
Former U.S. Deputy National Security Adviser Matt Pottinger, in an interview with U.S. media on Sunday (Feb. 21), condemned the Chinese Communist Party’s concealment of the Epidemic. Pottinger said the Chinese government has not shared useful information with any country in the world and that the World Health Organization (WHO) is parroting false information about the virus put out by the Chinese Communist Party.
I called the local doctors in China in late January of last year,” Bomin said. They have told me, look, this thing spreads asymptomatically. Half of the cases or more are asymptomatic. That’s not the same as what the Chinese (Communist) government is telling.”
The nature of the Chinese Communist regime means the outside world cannot get information about the nature of the virus, and they (the CCP) have a strong incentive to mislead their own public and the rest of the world, Booming said.
Blinken: Chinese Communist Party Using Free Space Abroad to Spread Disinformation
In response to the recent banning of BBC World News by Beijing for reporting on the sexual assault of Uighur women in concentration camps, Blinken said the United States strongly condemns Beijing’s actions. He said it is shocking that China, which ranks last in the world in terms of openness to information, is taking advantage of the completely free and open information space of many countries to disseminate big foreign propaganda and disinformation.
Blinken noted that such a lack of reciprocity is not sustainable in the long run, so it is up to all countries to stand up for free and open information space, and the U.S. is looking for ways to effectively achieve this goal.
However, he was asked if he was considering boycotting the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, since he views the Uyghur experience as “ethnic cleansing. In response, Blinken was reluctant to respond, saying only that the U.S. would consult closely with partners, other democracies and the U.S. Congress on all relevant issues, and would explore the issue at an appropriate point in Time.
