An embittered Global Times published an editorial Dec. 15, taking up the fact that U.S. COVID-19 deaths have now exceeded 300,000 people. The British Empire’s U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and others in the Trump Administration have all attacked China for the absurd construct that they “exported” the COVID-19 pandemic to the rest of the world, and at the same time have launched hostile destabilization operations against the country.
“The death toll from the coronavirus surpassed 300,000 in the U.S. on Monday. This is truly a staggering number…. We want to ask, what would happen if the situation is reversed — what if China were the one where 300,000 people died from the coronavirus, and the U.S. and most other Western countries had the pandemic under control?”
The editorial noted with irony: “They would also accuse Chinese society of being barbaric and madly deny the legitimacy of the Communist Party of China’s governance. They would tout Western civilization and declare that the result of the COVID-19 fight is a comprehensive victory of the Western system and culture. They would also brand China’s political system as `incurably bad.’ Once any sign of unrest occurs in China, they will openly endorse the rioters at the official level, and tout the unrest as an `uprising of people who are in desperation.’… The U.S. may think of exerting military pressure on China and launching a general offensive against China’s political system, trying to defeat China at one stroke and fundamentally eliminate the so-called threat brought about by China’s rise.”
The editorial concluded: “In short, if China were the country with the worst response and greatest loss in the global disaster, the U.S. and the West would have launched a tsunami-level ideological attack against China.… Is there a bottom line for the political shamelessness of some American elites? Will they eventually be punished for what they have been doing?” https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1210058.shtml
