China Tries To Re-Brand Itself As The Hero Of The Corona Pandemic

The Corona Virus was originally called the Wuhan Virus as that was where it originated in China. But now it seems China no longer feels that is true, as they are now trying to pin it on the United States, claiming we are somehow responsible. It appears China is trying to rewrite history and claiming they are heroically supporting the world when they should be aiding everyone because they caused this pandemic.

“In a matter of weeks, Chinese President Xi Jinping and his Communist Party have apparently managed to convince the world to forget that they muzzled the coronavirus for months as it grew into what is now a global pandemic, silencing doctors and critics whose early alarms could have saved thousands of lives. Instead, the communist-run nation has now positioned itself as the country ahead of the coronavirus curve, even as they make unsubstantiated claims that the U.S. is behind the crisis.

From denying its central role in unleashing the pandemic to baseless finger-pointing and finally, to casting itself as a global savior, China’s makeover has been aided by a compliant media and allies such as Russia and Iran who are eager to help deflect the blame to the U.S.

“Two narrative tracks that we’re seeing advanced by China is malign information trying to finger the U.S. as the origin of the coronavirus, and then the second narrative track is what we call ‘Brand China,’ which is the [Chinese government’s] effort to try and turn the crisis into a news story about the supremacy of the Chinese Communist Party as opposed to democratic systems that have allegedly mishandled the crisis,” U.S. Special Envoy Lea Gabrielle told The Washington Times. “So [it’s] basically a ‘China’ good, everyone else bad’ narrative.”

This is called dodging responsibility. China likely accidentally released this virus on its own public from a lab, and SHOULD be taking responsibility for infecting the world. Instead, they are taking the offensive and trying to blame us for it. We should go back to calling it the Wuhan Virus to remind everyone where this virus originated because apparently China needs the reminder.
