How China's Lies Brought the World to Its Knees

From ordering Chinese scientists to destroy evidence of the virus, to suppressing physician warnings, to turning around ships loaded with vital supplies and threatening to block critical pharmaceuticals so that America might experience "The hell of a novel coronavirus epidemic," there can be no question that when the dust clears, a day of reckoning will be at hand for China.

"The Chinese political system believes it needs an enemy and they have chosen the United States," said China expert Gordon Chang in an interview with TAC. He added, "China is waging a deliberate misinformation campaign and a lot of Americans are parroting Communist party narratives" when they say that calling the sickness the Chinese or Wuhan virus is "Racist."

"It was a blunder of epic proportions that we allowed the manufacture of penicillin to leave our shores," said Rosemary Gibson, author of the 2018 book China Rx: Exposing the Risks of America's Dependence on China for Medicine.

"I think nations are going to question their dependence on one another through the global supply chain, and I think people are going to rethink whether it's a good idea to be so reliant on a totalitarian China that blames everyone else in the world for their problems, and is not a responsible stakeholder or honest broker. One outcome of this is that the perception of China as a bad actor is going to be crystallized," said Kazianis.

"I wouldn't be surprised if you see a sort of Cold War-like containment strategy towards China after this. I think that's where Trump was going with trade before this happened, but I think now you'll see a lot of other countries rethinking their reliance on China as well," Kazianis added.

We now know that the majority of rapid test coronavirus test kits supplied by China to Spain and the Czech Republic were faulty, and that if the Chinese government had been honest and supplied reliable data, there could have been 95 percent fewer coronavirus cases around the world.

By suppressing critical information about the virus in those early days, then doing very little to contain the virus by permitting public gatherings like the New Years celebration, the government of China has allowed the coronavirus to menace not just its own people but the entire world.
