One would think that Beijing would see that unleashing a global pandemic is no way to gain favor with the world. Lying about doing so doesn’t help, either; nor does blaming others for the outbreak. And exporting tainted medical supplies to nations asking for help, while criticizing them for failing to protect their people from the pathogen doesn’t make for an effective diplomatic strategy, either.
But that’s the playbook, believe it or not, that Beijing is following in its global campaign to become the new leader of the world. Sure, vigorous propaganda blaming the United States, Italy, etc., is part of the plan, too. But few countries, if any, are buying it. There’s just too much toxicity, in all its forms, coming from Beijing.
Is it any wonder that European countries, and others, are now breaking with China?

If it acts, the Free World has the opportunity to condemn another communist dictatorship to Karl Marx’s dustbin of history and avoid a war with a totalitarian superpower circa 2035.
The Chinese Communist Party knows the COVID-19/Wuhan virus pandemic has exposed its imperial war to conquer the world, so it is frantically engaged in psychological and political damage control.
Why?
The strategic exposure (a cruel pun) of Beijing’s goal occurs at least 10 years too early. If the CCP and Emperor/President/Dictator Xi Jinping just had another decade of gross domestic product growth; of military modernization; of intellectual property theft; of trade rigging; of bribing crooked EU and American politicians and Ivy League academics; of stroking elite U.S. media; of narrative warfare crafted to undermine democracy and erode free speech—with another 10 to 15 years of unrestricted “all lines of operation” warfare, China could hogtie America and have the military power to dominate Asia and the western Pacific.

The CIA Inspector General has taken more than a year to clear the release of a House Intelligence Committee report which contradicts the key conclusion of the intelligence community assessment on Russian interference in the 2016 election, according to the former chief of staff of the National Security Council.
The January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA), prepared at the behest of President Barack Obama, claimed that Russia interfered in the presidential election in order to help candidate Donald Trump.
The House Intelligence Committee’s public report (pdf) on Russia had already challenged the analytic tradecraft behind this central claim and suggested that the process of arriving at the assessment was not free of political interference.
A separate, classified report holed up at the office of the CIA Inspector General (IG) sheds damning light on the role then-CIA Director John Brennan played in the preparation of the report, former
National Security Council Chief of Staff Fred Fleitz learned from House Intelligence Committee staff. A source familiar with the report’s fate would not deny that the report went to the office of the CIA IG.
The report states that Brennan overruled agency analysts who wanted to include strong intelligence in the assessment to show that Russian President Vladimir Putin wanted Hillary Clinton to win the election, Fleitz says, citing conversations with House Intelligence Committee staffers.
Brennan had also rejected analysts who wanted to strike weak intelligence from the report which suggested that Russia favored Trump, Fleitz said.
The story of a man who supposedly was the “central” source of some of the most outrageous allegations regarding President Donald Trump in the Steele dossier has been full of contradictory claims and speculation.
The story told by the main face behind the infamous dossier, former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele, clashes with what Steele’s supposed “collector” of information told the FBI. Both of their accounts conflict with other information now available and even with some information in the dossier itself.
The resulting mess has recently led Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) to ponder whether the supposed source was framed.
The dossier, a collection of allegations of collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign designed to sway the 2016 election, was produced by Steele under a contract from Fusion GPS, an opposition research firm hired in 2016 by Perkins Coie, which was, in turn, paid for the job by the Democratic National Committee and the campaign of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The FBI used the dossier to obtain an intrusive spying warrant on former Trump campaign aide Carter Page. As a result, Page was subjected to at least six months of illegal surveillance.
Steele claimed all the information in the dossier, starting with the first report in June 2016 and following with many others throughout the year, was provided by a singular source that had his or her own network of other sub-sources.
Steele has been reluctant to release the name of his primary source or any of the sub-sources he’s been aware of, except one: Sergei Millian.
Both Steele and Glen Simpson, his employer at Fusion, have been spreading Millian’s name around, weaving webs of mystery around his background. They have portrayed him at the same time as a Russian agent, the source of some of the most explosive allegations in the dossier, and also one of the Trump-Russia co-conspirators.
Yet evidence to back up the allegations ranges from speculative to outright contradictory, raising the question of whether Steele was spreading the wrong name.

When retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn stood before Judge Rudolph Contreras in a Washington courtroom on Dec. 1, 2017, and pleaded guilty to making a false statement to two FBI agents during an interview at the White House in January of that year, nobody could have predicted the yearslong absurdity that was about to unfold.
It looked as if the case against President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser was over before it ever really started. The Department of Justice (DOJ) never unsealed an actual indictment in the case and prosecutors never had to enter any evidence in a courtroom.
There were rumors in the news media in early November 2017, such as this one on Nov. 5 from NBC News, that special counsel Robert Mueller had enough evidence to bring “big charges” against Flynn.
When Flynn suddenly appeared in court and pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI, without any press conference by prosecutors announcing the unsealing of an indictment, it caught reporters by surprise. That wasn’t the only unusual development in this case. There have been many others. Here are just a few.
Original article: Unusual Developments in Flynn case
Multiple media outlets have claimed that North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un lies comatose from a botched heart procedure, although President Trump on April 27 seemed to suggest that he was fine—or soon would be.
Still, something seems to be amiss in the North where, according to the South Korean defense minister, there has been an “unusual increase” in air force flight operations and artillery’s readiness drills. And, across the border in China, a column of transports was seen moving heavy tanks in the direction of the border crossing at Dandong.
Even assuming Kim’s current health crisis, if that’s what it is, soon passes, it is worth asking what happens in North Korea when his embalmed body joins those of his father and grandfather in the Kim Il-sung Mausoleum in Pyongyang.
That day may not be all that long in coming. Carrying an estimated 300 pounds on his 5’6” frame, and with porcine jowls, Kim Jong Un is morbidly obese. Add to this his diabetes, his fondness for wine and cheese, his cigarette habit (four packs a day) and his family history of coronary artery disease, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is a walking heart attack.
In the event Kim does not recover from his current health crisis, if that’s what it is, or suffers another fatal one in the next few years, which seems possible, who would succeed him? And what, if anything, would change in North Korea’s repressive domestic or foreign policies?
Belgium, based on its population of 11 million and geographical size of 30,500 square kilometers, is considered a small country among the 195 sovereign nations in the world.
But looking at its current number of deaths and confirmed infections due to the CCP virus, Belgium has among the world’s highest death rates.
As of today, the number of confirmed infections was just over 46,000 and the number of deaths just over 7,000—making the death rate roughly 15 percent.
This places Belgium’s mortality rate above hard-hit regions like the United States, Spain, Italy, and the United Kingdom. Why is Belgium experiencing such a severe situation?
Investigative reporter John Solomon revealed April 17 on Fox Business Network’s “Lou Dobbs Tonight” that his sources are saying a “handful” of indictments related to the FBI’s handling of its 2016 investigation into the Trump campaign is coming.
One thing I’ve learned from following all the twists and turns of the ever-expanding “Spygate” scandal is that Solomon has excellent sources. He’s often been the first to reveal things from his sources that were later found to be accurate.
In response to host Lou Dobbs’s reminder that we’re four years into uncovering evidence about what these plotters did in their attempt to take down a president, and yet not one person has been held accountable, Solomon replied:
“I will say this: There is some fairly significant evidence at this very moment, this week, the last couple of weeks alone, that there is some criminal investigative activity that I think will result in some actions coming out.
Today’s News Updates
“So it’s not going to be a lot; don’t expect 10 or 12 indictments, but there could be a handful of indictments and much more information.”
Attorney General William Barr has stated several times that he expects U.S. Attorney John Durham and the team of U.S. attorneys he’s leading in probes of the various facets of the “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation to begin wrapping up their investigative work sometime in “late spring or early summer.”
If what Solomon’s sources are telling him is true, it suggests we’re about to see the story of the Spygate scandal shift to a completely different arena.
Officials in the northern China city of Harbin have underreported cases of the CCP virus during the second wave of its local outbreak, according to internal government documents obtained by The Epoch Times.
Meanwhile, one major hospital in Harbin has stopped accepting new patients because of overcapacity and infections among medical staff. Some workers were being observed for symptoms at quarantine centers.
In early April, authorities in the northeastern province of Heilongjiang reported another wave of infections in several cities, the most severe in Harbin, the provincial capital. When China’s initial outbreak became severe in January, Harbin designated 24 hospitals for treating patients with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) virus, commonly known as novel coronavirus.
The Epoch Times also obtained an internal “warning notice” issued by the Heilongjiang government on April 13, in which it admitted that the outbreak in Harbin was in “an aggregated, explosive situation.”
Did John Brennan Expose Himself? The role played by the CIA during the 2016 investigation into the Trump campaign is increasingly receiving attention as ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) says he is “laser-focused” on uncovering what the CIA provided to the FBI as part of the ‘Crossfire Hurricane’ probe.
“In 2016, we know from great work that Trey Gowdy did at the time … that the CIA gave information over to the FBI in 2016,” Nunes told Fox News in an interview. “We now are laser-focused on that. We need to know: Exactly what did the CIA give to the FBI in 2016? That’s what our investigation is now focusing on.”
Based on publicly available information, including statements from the man himself, then CIA Director John Brennan, under President Barack Obama, appears to have played a key role in establishing the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign—including making repeated use of questionable foreign intelligence during the period leading up to the 2016 presidential election.
Brennan, in Congressional testimony and media interviews, has provided significant insight into his own actions and those of the CIA in connection with the investigation of the Trump campaign, including the obtaining of foreign intelligence on members of the Trump campaign.
President Donald Trump announced late Monday that he will sign an executive order to temporarily suspend immigration into the United States.
“In light of the attack from the Invisible Enemy, as well as the need to protect the jobs of our GREAT American Citizens, I will be signing an Executive Order to temporarily suspend immigration into the United States!” Trump wrote in a Twitter post.
In light of the attack from the Invisible Enemy, as well as the need to protect the jobs of our GREAT American Citizens, I will be signing an Executive Order to temporarily suspend immigration into the United States!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 21, 2020
Trump has mentioned the term “invisible enemy” on numerous occasions during press briefings related to the pandemic caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, also known as the novel coronavirus.
The United States has already suspended most travel from China, South Korea, Iran, and Europe.
In mid-March, the country suspended all routine visa services, for both incoming and outgoing travel, for most countries due to the CCP virus pandemic.
It is not immediately clear what immigration programs will be affected by Trump’s eventual order.
In today’s episode, CIA Probed Over Role in Spygate Scandal. House Republicans are trying to find out more about the role the CIA played in the investigation the FBI started in 2016 into alleged ties between Russia and the campaign of then-candidate Donald Trump.
“The GOP investigators are focused on information related to the Trump-Russia probe the CIA provided to the FBI,” Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) told Fox and Friends on April 19.
“We need to know exactly what did the CIA give to the FBI in 2016,” he said. “That’s what our investigation is now focusing on.”
The investigation, taken over in May 2017 by a special counsel, former FBI Director Robert Mueller, couldn’t establish any coordinated meddling in the 2016 election by the Trump campaign and Russia.
The probe, however, involved extensive spying on the Trump team, including the use of multiple informants who were sent to snoop on campaign staff.
The World Health Organization (WHO) is facing a flurry of criticism for its response to the CCP virus pandemic, and much of the problem can be attributed to the growing influence the communist regime in China has on the organization.
Critics mainly point out that the WHO was too slow to recommend travel restrictions and some other preventive measures, and also that the agency accepted information from China at face value, despite numerous red flags.
While China experts were sounding alarms about a coverup, the WHO continued to praise China’s response and never warned the world that data coming from the regime was suspect.
WHO, an agency of the United Nations, has long been swayed by Beijing’s political preferences. Its current head, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, is a former member of a Maoist group in Ethiopia.
As The Epoch Times previously documented, China has been increasing its power over U.N. institutions for years. Beijing’s clout has now gone so far, it undermines WHO’s basic functions, such as providing timely and accurate information about the world’s health situation.
Case in point: the CCP virus.
In this episode we take a look at the timeline of the WHO Cover-Up.
Judicial Watch served a court-authorized subpoena to Google on April 15 requesting emails from a controversial Gmail account tied to Hillary Clinton.
The subpoena is part of a yearslong Freedom of Information Act lawsuit which has led to the discovery of Clinton’s use of an unauthorized private email server to conduct government business during her tenure as the secretary of state.
Judicial Watch, a conservative government transparency group, requested the emails and metadata from the carterheavyindustries@gmail.com account. Clinton IT aide Paul Combetta claimed to have used the account to transfer all of Clinton’s emails from a laptop to an email server.
As a result of the transfer, the Carter Heavy Industries email ended up in the metadata of all but four of the Clinton emails handed over to Congress. The email account’s peculiar name—similar to that of a Chinese company—prompted concerns that the Chinese regime may have gained access to Clinton’s emails. An inquiry by two inspectors general did not find evidence of an intrusion or any association between Combetta and any Chinese company. Combetta—who was granted immunity before Clinton’s exoneration—declined to be questioned for the inspector generals’ inquiry.
Months before the CCP virus developed into a global pandemic, Wuhan doctors tried signaling their concerns about a mysterious pneumonia caused by a SARS-like virus. Instead of allowing the warnings to flow to the public, Chinese authorities censored the information and reprimanded the doctors for “spreading rumors.”
As more information about the virus emerged, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) failed to share it with the rest of the world and instead downplayed its severity. It withheld information, censored reports, and made false misrepresentations to the Chinese people and the international community.
When the regime finally placed its first containment measure on Jan. 23 by locking down the virus epicenter Wuhan, it was already too late. The virus had already spread across the country and would eventually spread to 185 nations and territories globally.
One study, currently in preprint from researchers at the University of Southhampton in the UK, found that if Chinese authorities had acted three weeks earlier, the number of cases could have been reduced by 95 percent.
The CCP’s suppression of information and mismanagement during the early stages of the deadly outbreak, which has resulted in sweeping human and economic devastation worldwide, is now raising questions about whether the regime can be held legally accountable for the virus’s spread around the world. Some legal experts believe so.
A province in northern China is preparing thousands of hospital beds in anticipation of a surge of CCP virus patients—days after lockdown measures were relaxed in epicenter Wuhan, according to internal documents viewed by The Epoch Times.
Heilongjiang, China’s northernmost province, locked down its border city of Suifenhe on April 7, which officials said was an attempt to stem the flow of imported cases from Russia.
From March 27 to April 9, the city reported more than 100 imported cases, as well as 148 asymptomatic patients—those infected who do not show any symptoms of the disease—that were imported cases. Only three new domestic infections were reported during that period.
The FBI was advised that a portion of the infamous Steele dossier was likely the product of a Russian disinformation campaign meant to harm U.S. foreign relations, according to previously-redacted footnotes from the inspector general report on the investigation of the Trump campaign.
A source also informed the FBI that former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele, the author of the dossier, had frequent contacts with Russian oligarchs which raised concerns at the bureau’s Transnational Organized Crime Intelligence Unit, one of the declassified footnotes says.
The Department of Justice released the footnotes (pdf) in response to a request from Senators Ron Johnson and Chuck Grassley.
The Chinese Communist Party has deliberately masked the total number of COVID-19 cases in China in a bid to safeguard its image both nationally and internationally, according to China experts as well as evidence documented by The Epoch Times.
As more countries express anger and frustration over Beijing’s botched handling of the virus—fueled by a wide-reaching coverup—half a dozen experts told The Epoch Times the regime is undeniably underreporting cases of the virus, but to what extent is up for debate.
Beijing itself publicly admitted to hiding the number of people with the disease when it announced it would start reporting cases of asymptomatic carriers on April 1, revealing that it hadn’t been doing so. China’s National Health Commission also acknowledged that asymptomatic carriers can infect others and cause outbreaks, which it had previously dismissed.
The Justice Department’s watchdog determined that the FBI failed to properly document the facts in 29 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) applications that were reviewed in an audit.
The findings are part of a report (pdf) released on March 30 by the Department of Justice’s Office of Inspector General. The office had previously found widespread fundamental and serious errors in the FISA applications used to spy on former Trump campaign associate Carter Page.
The review of the Page applications determined FBI agents broke bureau policy by failing to adequately maintain a so-called Woods file, a set of records substantiating the factual assertions in surveillance applications. The flaws with the surveillance of Page prompted Inspector General Michael Horowitz to open a review of the Woods procedures throughout the bureau, which, in turn, unearthed pervasive errors spanning every FISA application audited.

Information provided by residents at the epicenter of the CCP virus in Wuhan, China, indicates that the real death toll there could be over 32,000, which is 12.7 times the official figure.
The Hubei provincial health commission announced on March 23 that in the whole of Wuhan, 2,524 people had died of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as novel coronavirus. Wuhan is the capital of Hubei.
Medical specialists’ reports in the Lancet and other magazines revealed that Chinese authorities have been lying about the virus outbreak since day one. The real situation in Wuhan and the whole of China has been covered up.
Recently, as the families of those who died of the virus were permitted to collect their relatives’ cremated remains from seven government-run funeral homes with crematoriums, a clearer idea of the true death toll began to emerge.
China’s economy was in deep trouble before it launched its viral pandemic upon the world. The trade war tariffs had diminished exports, and supply chains were moving out of China. But now the economic outlook appears weaker than it has in decades. This may be its worst quarter since the end of the Cultural Revolution in 1976, with an actual contraction in GDP in Q1.
Of course, despite the pandemic, Beijing has insisted that it will meet its economic growth goals for 2020. But that’s not realistic. It’s not even clear that China is actually over the pandemic. People can still be seen lining up at hospitals, and recent cellphone rolls on China Mobile show up to 21 million fewer users compared with three months ago near the start of the pandemic.
Today’s News Updates
The Near Future Could Be Disastrous
Of course, no economy was prepared for a global pandemic, and all nations will continue to be severely challenged by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus outbreak and its aftermath. But the inherent weakness in China’s economy makes it exceptionally vulnerable to both the pandemic downturn and the shift in global trade patterns away from China that’s underway. This dependency is made worse by cratering domestic demand.
What’s more, the CCP’s comprehensive oppression stifles efficiency and innovation in the economy. This will make it more difficult for the economy to adapt quickly to the challenges posed by this pandemic and the evolving global economy.
As a consequence, the pillars of China’s economy—consumer spending and real estate, as well as exports and direct foreign investment—are shaking, even crumbling, before Beijing’s eyes. The highly profitable pharmaceutical and medical supply industries, for example, will be repatriated to the United States as soon as possible.
It’s always been a mystery as to why America dealt with the Soviet Union as an evil communist regime, but treated China as a mild one that could be bought with money.
We thought we were rich enough, powerful enough, and attractive enough to change China into a normal society such as one in the free world. Instead, the business and investment from the United States have made the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) stronger. The CCP is like a cancer that sucks nutrition from a healthy organ to become a bigger threat to the whole body.
The spread of the CCP virus around the world shows us how dangerous the CCP is. It is contagious. It is invisible. It is deadly. It is a threat to everyone on this planet.
When The Epoch Times published the editorial series, “Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party,” which lays bare the history of the CCP, readers wrote to us asking, “Where was The New York Times when this was happening?”
When the Great Leap Forward happened and millions were killed, we thought it was a China issue.
When the Great Famine happened and 40 million people starved to death, it was a remote problem.
When the Tiananmen Square massacre happened, we continued to do business with the CCP.
When the persecution of the spiritual practice Falun Gong happened, we tried to please the CCP by looking away.
In some ways, the CCP has changed. It actually has grown. It has slicker packaging and understands the West better—so it can do a better job of taking advantage of the West.
Its propaganda always uses the United States as a negative example, telling the Chinese people that the CCP is better.
In many ways, the CCP has never changed—its nature has never changed.
During the Great Famine, CCP officials blockaded many villages, not allowing people to go out to beg for food. It was more important to the CCP to hide the truth.
Sixty years later, when the coronavirus spread, some villages were sealed off, some homes were locked from the outside. Some children starved to death.
The CCP says there have been 3,259 deaths from the virus, but this doesn’t match what we have seen happening in China.
We know cremation centers in Wuhan were operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Outside some villages, bodies were burned in open-air pits.
Forty mobile furnaces were shipped to Wuhan. Per day, each one can burn five tons of “medical waste and dead animal bodies” (animal bodies or human bodies?).
Insiders say the death toll from the CCP virus has surpassed 1 million. We have no way to prove or disprove that number. Recent reports of the remaining number of cellphone users in China suggest the number of deaths may be far higher than previously suggested.
China has three cellphone carriers. China Mobile reported that it lost roughly 7.25 million users in February, while China Telecom lost 5.6 million users in February.
The relatively small China Unicom hasn’t released its February report. But in January, it lost about 1.19 million users.
Supposing that China Unicom kept all its users in February, the entire Chinese market still lost about 12.85 million cellphone users that month.
How many of those people died in the past month?
With the CCP concealing information about the virus, the world has been caught unprepared.
Now, we have become victims, as the virus has crossed borders.
Should we continue to deal with the CCP like we are dealing with a group of gentlemen?
We have lost our manufacturing jobs; we have lost intellectual property. Now, are we are going to lose our family members, and maybe our own lives?
When a cancer continues to grow, what is the end result?
Fortunately, we are still strong as a country.
However, when good cells fight off cancer, it’s a life-and-death struggle.
If we don’t see this clearly, if we don’t take out the CCP as soon as possible, a more deadly virus might come.
This CCP virus should be lesson enough for us.
Eliminating the CCP doesn’t require World War III.
If we cut our ties to it, it will starve to death quickly, like a cancer separated from its host. View on YouTube
Governments and businesses are learning hard lessons from the rapid spread of the CCP virus that is causing supply disruptions across the globe.
Closings related to the virus, which causes the disease COVID-19, have been bringing the U.S. and global economies to a grinding halt.
American companies dependent on global sourcing are facing an unprecedented type of disruption amid the pandemic. And the ones that heavily or solely rely on factories in China for parts and materials are the hardest hit.
The Chinese state required factory shutdowns across most of its provinces in February, and U.S. companies have felt the effects. The CCP virus has disrupted supply chains for nearly 75 percent of U.S. companies, according to an Institute for Supply Management survey conducted in late February and early March.
In addition, there is a shortage of air and ocean freight options to bring products to the United States, compounding the delivery delays.
The crisis prompted President Donald Trump on March 20 to invoke the Defense Production Act, which will speed up and expand the supply of products from America’s industrial base, if needed. The Korean War-era statute will force certain U.S. companies to produce goods that are in short supply, such as medical masks, ventilators, gloves, testing swabs, and other essential equipment.
“The coronavirus pandemic is going to have serious implications for how we think about globalization broadly and China specifically,” said Robert Atkinson, founder and president of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF), a U.S. think tank.
“I think the days when everybody just assumed that there’s just one integrated global market that we can all trust—those days are gone. And there’ll be some repercussions from it, and I think China will end up paying the price.”
ITIF has long been critical of Beijing for embarking on “innovation mercantilist” policies, which include massive government subsidies, industrial espionage, cyber theft, forced joint ventures in exchange for market access, and acquisition of foreign companies to attain sensitive technologies.
These policies spurred innovation in China, but that came at the expense of innovation in Western economies, Atkinson said.
Globalization, the most powerful economic force to have shaped the world over the past two decades, is now giving way to a new world order. Souring sentiment against globalization in the past few years, particularly in developed countries, led to a global revival of nationalism and protectionism. That marked a fundamental shift in the global trade order.
The European Union, the United States and China are the world’s largest trading partners. And yet, evidently, China is not trusted by any of its trading partners in the Group of 7 nations (G7) enough to be included in critical discussions dedicated to coordinating efforts to battle the pandemic.
The G7 nations are a diverse group, which includes Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Britain, the United States and the European Union. Alienating all of them at once in the midst of a global pandemic takes some serious focus and determination.
And yet China owns that dubious accomplishment. Its exclusion from this prestigious group of nations is serious and telling. No one in the world trusts them. And it’s not about political orientation, either—the UK is even coordinating with Cuba about a cruise ship struck with the CCP virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus.
The Epoch Times refers to the new coronavirus as the CCP virus because the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP’s) coverup and mismanagement allowed the virus to spread throughout China and create a global pandemic. The virus started in China last year before spreading around the world.
But how can it be that China is left out of the most advanced nations in the world working together? Doesn’t it seem logical that given China’s seminal experience with the outbreak, that it would be a key partner in combatting it? Why wouldn’t China be at the forefront of such a group?
And yet, China was not only absent from the meeting, as far as one can tell, it wasn’t even mentioned. Such a comprehensive exclusion speaks volumes of either the G7 nations or of China. Sadly, the Chinese regime isn’t trusted by anyone in the world, least of all its own people. Its behavior hasn’t done much to help its cause in the world, nor for that matter, the world, in the current pandemic.
