If there is one thing that we know about China, it’s that they are as unscrupulous a government as exists in the world.
Not only does Beijing seem to have exactly no compassion for the rights of workers under their communist regime, but they also don’t have any time to consider even the most basic human rights, either. In fact, their continued use of concentration camps has many wondering why they even have a seat at the table in global affairs.
And now, just as the US begins to get a good understanding of China’s potential culpability in the COVID-19 pandemic, Beijing is spouting nonsense.
State-owned news outlet China Global Television Network (CGTN), based in Beijing, on Wednesday, published a number of articles that aimed to paint the U.S. as desperate to “scapegoat” China while simultaneously pushing conspiracy theories that COVID-19 instead originated at labs in the U.S.
The claims are ludicrous.
China has repeatedly speculated that the U.S. leaked the virus, pointing to Fort Detrick and the University of North Carolina labs as possible sources of COVID. Fort Detrick is a military installation that contains biomedical labs that research viruses including Ebola and smallpox.
CGTN published a headline arguing that the U.S. “should” invite the World Health Organization to investigate the labs, while another article outright labeled the U.S. probe into COVID-19 origins “propaganda against China.”
China has repeatedly been accused of tampering with, destroying, or obscuring data from the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has led many to wonder just how true any of their official story is.
