    China's disappeared: At least one is dead and the rest haven't been heard from in months, so why isn't the world asking what happened to the brave souls who dared to speak up about the coronavirus outbreak after Beijing lied to the world?

    The fearsome knock on the door came after nightfall. Outside were two men in hazmat suits who told businessman Fang Bin they had come to take him into medical quarantine. But the textile trader, a gangly man in his early 40s, wasn’t ill and the men outside his Wuhan apartment weren’t doctors. They were police officers confronting a menace the Chinese Communist Party had been grappling with as ferociously as the coronavirus itself – ordinary people who bravely expose the truth about the outbreak and refuse to keep quiet.

    Sad that Trump has no source of information other than Xi, isn't it.
    Sad that he just believes whatever he's told by China.
    Sad that he trusts Xi over his own advisors.
    Sad that he's a fool.

    I don't have a clue why anybody would spend any time trying to defend China in all this

    whether it was incompetence at a lab or willful ignorance at a disgusting wet market, either is an indictment of the government. And there's no doubt at all they were secretive and engaged in coverup(s).

    Obviously trump is going to try and shift blame from himself to China, but that's predictable as rain, and still shouldn't absolve China from accountability. It shouldn't be hard to condemn trump's search for scapegoats without jumping into China's corner

    From the recent polling, it looks like China is a big issue. It will be up to Trump and Biden to show the better response to China

    Pressured by China, E.U. Softens Report on Covid-19 Disinformation
    A revised report shows how Beijing reacts swiftly and effectively to tamp down Western criticism of its pandemic response.
    By Matt Apuzzo

    April 24, 2020, 2:05 p.m. ET
    BRUSSELS — Bowing to heavy pressure from Beijing, European Union officials softened their criticism of China this week in a report documenting how governments push disinformation about the coronavirus pandemic, according to documents, emails and interviews.

    Worried about the repercussions, European officials first delayed and then rewrote the document in ways that diluted the focus on China, a vital trading partner — taking a very different approach than the confrontational stance adopted by the Trump administration.

    The initial European Union report, obtained by The New York Times, was not particularly strident: a routine roundup of publicly available information and news reports.

    It cited Beijing’s efforts to curtail mentions of the virus’s origins in China, in part by blaming the United States for spreading the disease internationally. It noted that Beijing had criticized France as slow to respond to the pandemic and had pushed false accusations that French politicians used racist slurs against the head of the World Health Organization. The report also highlighted Russian efforts to promote false health information and sow distrust in Western institutions.

    “China has continued to run a global disinformation campaign to deflect blame for the outbreak of the pandemic and improve its international image,” the initial report said. “Both overt and covert tactics have been observed.”

    But China moved quickly to block the document’s release, and the European Union pulled back. The report had been on the verge of publication, until senior officials ordered revisions to soften the language.

    “The Chinese are already threatening with reactions if the report comes out,” Lutz Güllner, a European Union diplomat, wrote to colleagues on Tuesday in an email seen by The Times.

    The sentence about China’s “global disinformation” campaign was removed, as was any mention of the dispute between China and France. Other language was toned down.

    The delay and revisions incited anger and frustration among some diplomats and government disinformation analysts. At least one analyst formally objected, writing to her bosses that the European Union was “self-censoring to appease the Chinese Communist Party.”

    Anything to try to distract people.

    When they got Saddam Hussein, they didn't make an announcement for a press conference the next day. They announced it right away.

    Same with OBL.

    If you are making a big announcement, and you have enough time to schedule a press conference for the next day, it's not a big announcement. It's a planned propaganda piece.

    Still laughing at why anyone would believe that China purposely created a virus that would also put their economy in the shitter.

    :doh:

    Because they wanted to get back at Trump and make him look bad!!!

    Though I suspect the argument isn't so much they did it on purpose as much as it was created there (as a bio-weapon potentially) and accidentally was released.

    Cause you know, Uncle Bubba on the youtubes knows more about the real stuff than some dumb scientist who is a part of the deep state!

    Here's the thing about the possibility of China creating this virus purposely as a bioweapon, it would seem to me that if they created the virus, they'd also have a vaccine.

    Of course it is possible that it was an experiment terribly gone bad...or it truly did originate in animals.

    ...not sure that we'll ever know for certain.
